Shutter Island Page #2

close to my clinical conclusion

So you think it's just

random scribblings?

No, not at all. Rachel is smart .

Brilliant in fact.

- This paper that could be important.

- Excuse me Doctor, but ...

- We need to hold onto this.

- of course

The departure had to come through here.

After lights out, the orderlies play

card in here

Last night there were 7 man sitting

at the base of the atairs playing stud poker

And yet somehow, Rachel has managed

to slip by.

Why?

How? She turns invisible?

Doctor, we need access to personal files

of all medical staff

of nurses, guards, orderlies

- Everyone who worked here.

- we take your request under consideration.

This is not a request, Doctor.

This is a federal facility

and a dangerous prisoner ...

- Patient.

- Patient ...

- has escaped now. You can comply ...

- All I can say is that I will see what I can do.

Doctor, we'll need to speak with the staff,

do you understand?

I'll assemble them in the

common room after dinner.

If you have any further questions

feel free to join the dwputy warden in the search

It's 11 miles to the nearest land

and the water is freesing

The current was strong last night.

the tide pushing in

She's have drowned or been crushed on

the rocks, her body would have washed back onshore.

Those caves down ther,

have you checked them?

no way she could get there.

The base of those cliffs are covered

in poison ivy, live oak, sumac

and a thousand plants with thorns

as big as my dick.

You said it yourself marshall,

she's got no shoes

All right, boys!

Let's check the other side!

- What's that tower?

- An old lighthouse.

the quards already searching inside it.

- What's in there? more patients?

- sewage treatment facility.

It will be dark soon.

I'm calling this off for the night

Let's go, boys!

- You were watching the land, right?

- Yes.

Can't no one get in or out of their room

in that corridor without me seeing

All right, Rachel Solando,

who else does she had to pass

to get down here?

Me.

Glen Miga.

- Sir, I saw nothing.

- And you were at your post all night?

Yes. But I saw nothing.

Glen.

Glen.

Tell me the truth.

I'm really ... went to the bathroom.

- What? You breached protocols? Christ ...

- I was away only one minutes.

All right, I do not know what to expect here.

Let's back up.

Mrs. Solando was put in her room for lights out.

Does anybody knows what did she do

before taht?

Anyone?

come on, anyone. anyone anyone

she was in a group therapy session

Did anything unusual occur?

Defines "unusual".

- Excuse me!

- It's a mental institution, marshall,

for criminally insane.

"Usual", isn't a big part of our day.

I will rephrase.

Did anything happened last night

during and group therapy, that was more...

- let's Say, more memorable than ...

- Normal?

Exactly!

No. I'm sorry.

Did Mrs. Solando said anything

during group therapy?

She was worried about the rain.

And she hates the food here.

Complained constantly.

Last night including

So ... you were there

in the presence of a doctor?

Dr. Sheehan led discuses.

Dr. Sheehan?

Yes. He was running the session.

He's Rachels's "primary"

The psychaiatrist who directly

oversees her care.

We'll need to speak with Dr. Sheehan.

I'm afraid that won't be possible.

He left on the ferry in this morning

His vacation was already planned.

He'd putting it off too long

You're in a state of lockdown.

A dangerous patient has escaped

and you let her primary doctor

leave on vacation?

Of course, he's a doctor

Do you have the phone number for

where he's gone?

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Is anyone there?

I'm sorry sir, but it all down.

All the lines.

The storm's hitting the

mainland as a hammer.

If you get it working come find me immediately.

the marshalls need to make an important call

Yes, sir.

I'm afraid I have evening rounds in the wards,

But I'll be having drinks and a cigar at

my house around 9

If you like to drop by

Good, we can talk then, right?

We have been talking, marshall.

Gotta say, i'm thinking I went

into the wrong line of public service

It is a little overwhelming.

it was constructed during the civil war

The same time as the military fort

houses, ward C

This building is the original commander's quarters

It cost a fortune when uncle sam got the bill

the commander was courtmartialed

I can see why

Nice music. who's that? Brahms?

No.

It's Mahler.

Quite right, marshall.

Forgive me, gentlemen ...

My colleague, Dr. Jeremiah Naehring.

Quartet for Piano and Strings

in A minor.

-Your poison, gentlemen?

- Rye, if you've got it.

Soda and ice please, thanks

You don't indulge in alcohol?

I am surprised.

Isn't it common for men in your

profession to imbibe?

common enough.

and yours?

- I'm sorry?

- your profession, doctor psychiatry ...

I've always heared it's overrun

with booceys and drunks

Not that i've noticed.

what's it? Cold tea in your glass?

Excellent marshall.

You have outstanding defense mechanism.

You must be quite adapt at interrogation.

Men like you ... are my specialty.

Men of violence.

That's a hell of assumption to make...

No assumption. Not at all. you misunderstand me,

i said you are men of violence

I'm not accusing you of being violent man

It's quite different

Please, please, edify us, Doc.

You both served overseas

Not much of a stretch, Doc. for all you know,

we were both paper pushers over there

No, you were not.

Since the schoolyard, I would bet neither

of you has ever walked away from a physical conflict

Not to suggest you enjoy it

but because retreat wasn't something you considered an option

Wasn't raised to run doc

Ah, yes... Raised

and who raised you, marshall?

Me?

Wolves.

Very impressive defense mechanism.

Do you believe in God, marshall?

I'm quite serious

That's rubbish.

Have you ever seen ... a death camp, Doctor?

I have, I was there, for the liberation of Daqhau

Your English is very good, almost clawless

Your English is very good.

You hit the consonants a tad hard, though

You're German?

-Is legal immigration a crime, marshall?

- Oh I don't know doctor, you to tell us.

Listen, we need the files of Sheehan

and on the rest of staff as well

No such file will be released for you.

Period.

- We gonna need those files.

- out of the question.

bullshit, there is no question.

bullshit.

Anyway, who is in charge here? huh?

Dr Naehring is the liaison to

our board of overseas.

He relayed your request and it's been refused.

Refused? They don't have the authority to refuse. And neither you, sir.

marshall, continues your investigation

and we will do all we can to help.

This investigation is over.

we will file our reports

and handle it over ...

- Hoover's boys.

- Hoover's boys, that's right.

We'll take the ferry back in the morning.

Come on, Chuck
