of physics.

Along with "Sh*t happens. "

Turn them off.

The lights.

Turn them off.

- What if that's the trap?

- It's about the light.

What is that?

What?

The back of your coat.

It's on yours, too.

He's marked us.

Letters.

It's like a powder.

Put on us while we slept.

"A"...

"O"...

"R"...

"T."

Tora? Rota? Roat?

Otra?

First it's numbers,

now it's letters.

It's 6:
00.

It just turned 6:90.

Hey, who's out there?

Anybody hear me?

You're a dead man.

You guys!

Down here!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Vince!

Vince, listen to me.

We've got to shut off

the power.

F*** you!

It's your trap!

Oh, yeah, I'm so clever,

I'm about to kill myself.

Man, there are circuit breakers

in that storeroom.

Can you get there?

Can you reach it?

Can you reach it?

Look, I can, but you got to

give me your gun.

I ain't giving you sh*t!

Are you gonna hang on forever,

or throw me your gun?

I'm gonna watch you die.

Watch me die, and then what?

And then what?

Come on! Please!

Throw it!

I'm losing my grip, Gabe.

Ohh!

Stairs.

Oh, f***.

I'm losing my grip!

Come on, Gabe.

Come on, Gabe!

Come on!

Vince, what's happening

in there?!

Stay out of the water!

Stay out of the water!

Where's that cop?!

Vince!

Aah!

Lights out.

I'm alive!

Vince, what's going on?

Talk to me.

I'm alive!

Oh!

Yes!

You okay?

I'm alive! I'm alive!

He saved my life, Lucas.

Still think you know me, Agent?

Still think you know who I am?

All right.

How do we turn off the water?

Look, whoever did this

really knows his engineering.

Remotes, timers.

They teach this in first- year

with siege tactics.

But to set this up fast, you

got to know what you're doing.

Pressure plates,

radio detonators.

It's all private- sector sold.

The wiring's the tricky part.

People take specialty courses

in this sort of thing for years.

Right.

Thank you.

You can all go to hell.

Bobby!

Look at me, look at me,

look at me!

Two watches, two traps.

Son of a b*tch.

So how about me, huh?

How about me?!

Is it my f***ing time?!

Right here, right now!

Who f***ing wants it?!

It was you who said

to turn off the water.

Yeah, whatever

makes you feel better.

Sara?

I don't think any of us

should be alone right now.

Okay?

Nic found another watch.

We've got an hour and a half.

So what's with the jackets?

If it's a message,

what's the order?

The order we're dying in?

J.D., Rafe, Bobby.

Which letters were theirs?

That wouldn't work.

These were traps.

They could've killed

any one of us.

How about the order

we signed up with the bureau?

Who here had seniority?

J.D., then Bobby.

- Then me.

- Then me.

Cro...

Atone?

Crotone?

Crotone, Croato, Croa...

Might as well pick them

at random.

Croatoan.

Like the island, the colony.

Do you know where we are?

Near the Outer Banks

of North Carolina?

It's one of the first sites

settled by the Europeans

in the New World.

In the 16th century,

there was a ship of settlers

who landed right around here,

sent to colonize

the place for England.

They built their town

on Roanoke Island.

Over 100 people.

Two years later,

a supply ship sailed in...

only to find

that the colony had vanished

without a trace.

No bodies, no papers,

no evidence of anything.

Over 100 people.

Gone.

And the only thing left

was a single word

found carved in a tree.

Croatoan.

What was Croatoan?

Some said a body of water.

Others said an Indian tribe.

Point is, is 500 years later,

we still don't know

where those people have gone.

That's the message.

An island full

of people vanish forever.

And it happened here.

The killer isn't after the FBI.

He's after infamy.

It troubles me

that you know this story.

It'd trouble you more

if I didn't.

All right, we know method,

we know motive.

All that's missing now

is where he made his mistake.

Got something.

We've got blood.

Under Rafe's nails.

He struggled with the killer.

We got to run it past autorad.

What are you staring at?

Time.

Somebody know how this works?

I do. We can have

a DNA match in under an hour.

We've only got

less than an hour.

We'll need blood comparisons

from each of us...

unless anyone

has a problem with that.

God, I want a cigarette.

You and me both.

You're a gambling man,

aren't you, Lucas?

Who would you put

your money on now?

Not sure my money

would go anywhere different.

We just about died down there.

You didn't know

you'd be down there.

What do you do?

Not help Vince?

We're gonna trust you then?

I'll trust you when you're dead.

Well, let me enlighten you. You

know there's a bomb on a boat.

You don't run toward it

first in line.

I don't.

Maybe you do.

Enough!

Guns on the table.

Everybody.

I'm not giving up my gun.

I think I speak for the group

when I say, "That would be bad. "

I don't go anywhere

without my gun.

I'll give up my wheels first.

I'll give up my chair.

I'm not giving up my gun.

You got it!

Hit the damn thing.

Hit it!

On the ground.

Nic, wait.

Nic, it's not me.

It's a mistake.

On the ground, damn it!

I will waste you, Sara.

You want to kill me, huh?

You want to kill me?

- Situation secure, Nic.

- That's what Harris says, right?

The situation is secure

on the drive home.

Ugh!

Lower your weapon, Agent.

Lucas, Lucas.

It's not me, Lucas.

Tell them.

It's not me.

It don't make sense.

Why her?

Because she

wasn't gonna make it.

She wasn't gonna make profiler.

Saw the recommends myself.

Neither were you, Vince.

But I never had someone

in my family get murdered.

No kid sister of mine

ever got drowned and raped,

drowned and raped

over and over and over.

Who knows what

that would do to my head?

You don't know.

The FBI didn't save

your sister, Sara.

And they didn't catch

her killer.

So why should they be able

to catch you...

when you're so much smarter

than everyone?

I swear.

It's not me.

She wouldn't.

Not Sara.

That's why she planned it

for the island.

She wanted us dead

and underwater,

so we'd suffer.

You ever see the pictures?

F***ing brutal.

I swear on my life it's not me.

Well, we can stay

in here and debate.

But there's 10 minutes

till the trap.

What is the trap?

Where is the trap?

I don't know.

What is the trap?

Where is the trap?

I don't know.

What is the trap?

Where is the trap?

I don't know.

What is the trap, Sara?!

- You tell me.

- No, you tell me!

What if she's telling the truth,

Nic? Think about it.

This is what the killer wants.

Suspecting each other,

fighting each other.

This is what makes it fun.

You in the killer's mind again?

We were all knocked out.

He could've taken blood

from any of us.

- You could've taken blood...

- I'll take blood from you!

Come off that!

Nicole...

Nicole...

Nobody else is gonna get killed.

You want to protect her?

She's been playing you

from the start, Lucas.

You come after me,

I will shoot you on sight.

Nicole...

we need to stay together.

If I am by myself,

I know who to trust.
