Shutter Island Page #7

Synopsis: It's 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn't been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

controled, but I know are different.

- You don't know me.

- Oh but I do.

We've known each other for centuries.

If I am to send my teeth to sank into your eye

right now,

could you stop me before I blinded you?

Give it a try.

That's the spirit.

Where have you been?

Wandering, just looking at your island.

You'll be leaving,

Now that Rachel has been found.

sure.

big meeting

Oh, yes ...

Apparently there was an unidentified man

in ward C yesterday

He subdued a very dangerous patient.

quite handly.

Even so?.........

It seems he had a long concersation with a

paranoid schizophrenic, George Noyce.

This Noyce,

so you said his name was,

- he's delusional, right?

- oh extremely. he can be quite upseting

In fact, two weeks ago, a patient

was so worked up

over one of Noyce's stories

that he beat him up.

Cigarette?

No, thanks.

I quit.

So, you'll taking the ferry?

Absolutely ...

I think we've gotten

all we came here for

"We" Marshall?

Speaking of a ..............

- You've seen him, Doctor?

- Who?

My partner, Chuck.

You don't have a partner, Marshall.

You came here alone.

You know, I've built something valuable here

But valuable things have a way of

being misunderstood in their own time

Everyone wants a quick fix,

they always have

I'm trying to do something that people

that even you don't undersyand

And I'm not going to give up

without a fight

I can see that ...

so tell me again

about your partner.

What partner?

Marshall ...

Going somewhere?

No. Just ... take my way

to ferry.

I'm afraid it's the other side.

If you wait a moment,

I find someone to take you

to the port.

What is this, Doctor?

it's just a sedative?

- It's for precaution.

- precaution?

What are you going to do?

To kill me?

you think you deserve it

for what?

for provoking you?

and forgive me

what doesn't provoke you?

remarks ...

- Words ...

- Nazi !

And that too

And of course, memories, dreams ...

did you knew that the word "trauma" comes

from a Greek word of wound?

And what's the German word for "dream"

is "traumen.

. Traumen......... "

a dream-.

Wounds can creates monsters.

And you ...

you are wounded, Marshall.

I think you're agree,

when you see a monster

you must stop it.

- I agree.

- Yes ...

What are you doing, baby?

You've got to get to the ferry.

No. Not ... no.

If the world thinks that Chuck is dead,

then he is perfect for their experiments.

Only one place they'd take him

You go there and you'll die.

He's my partner. if they're hurting him

holding him against his will, I have to bring him out

I can not lose anyone else.

Do not go there.

Please don 't do this Teddy.

I'm sorry, honey.

I love this because

you gave it to me

But the truth is ...

it's one f***ing ugly tie.

No!

Do not move!

Stay where you are.

Are you going to kill me?

No.

I will not kill you.

Why are you all wet, baby?

- What did you say?

- You know exactly what I said.

The rifle's empty by the way.

have a seat

For god's sake dry off

you're going to catch cold

all right.

How badly did you hurt the guard?

I do not know what

are you talking about.

Yes. he's here.

Have Dr.Sheehan take a good look

at your man before you send him up

So, Dr. Shehan ...

He came on the ferry

this morining.

Not exactly.

You blew up my car.

I really loved that car.

sorry to hear about that.

Tremors are getting pretty bad.

How are the hallucinations?

. Go away, Teddy ....................

. this place is gonna be the end of you ..

- Not bad.

- they'll get worse.

I know.

Dr. Solando ...

she told me about neuroleptics.

did she now?

and when was this?

I found her doctor,in a cave on the cliffs.

But you won't get her.

I don't doubt it.

considerations are not real.

But your hallucinations are

more severe than I thought.

You are not on neuroleptics.

You are not on neuroleptics

as a matter of fact

Then what the f*** is this?

Huh, what the f*** is this?

Withdrawal.

Withdrawal?

From what? I haven't even had a goddamned

drink since we got on this island.

Chlorpromazine

I'm not a fan of pharmacology

but I have to see in your case ...

- Clorpro ... like you said?

- Chlorpromazine.

the same thing we've

been giving you for the last 24 months.

So in the past two years

you have had somebody in Boston

who gave me drugs.........

Not Boston.

Here.

You've been here for two years.

a patient of this institutions.

After everythings I see here, Doctor,

You really thinks you can

convince me I'm crazy?

You know what kind of people we are dealing?

I'm U.S. marshal

You were a U.S. marshal

Here's a copy of your intake form

you broke into ward C for.

Proof of the 67th patient

If you'd gotten to the mainland,

you could have blown the lid off this place.

- wait ...wait

- But somehow

and yet you couldn't find time

to look at it yet. read it

Go ahead

The patient is highly intelligent

highly delusional.

Decorated army veteran.

prisoned for the

liberation of Dachav.

Former U.S. marshal

known proclivity for violence.

shown no remorse for his crime because

his denial is such

that no crime ever took place

highly developed and fantastical

narratives which preclude facing

the truth of his actions...

I am tired of this bullshits.

Where's my partner?

Where's Chuck?

Where is he?

Let's try this in another way.

your wife's maiden name was

"Chana" am I correct?

- Not even talk about her!

- I'm afraid I have to.

Notice anything these four names have in common?

the rule 4.

- Andrew, what do you see?

- If you done anything

- to my partner, Doctor, It is a violation ...

- Focus, Andrew. What do you see?

the names ...

have the same letters.

Edward Daniels has exactly same

As Andrew Laeddis.

the same as Rachel and Solando

and Dolore Chan. All names

- Are anagrams of each other.

- Tactics of intimidation........

it doesn't work on me.

You came here for the truth.

Here it is.

Your name is Andrew Laeddis.

the 67th patient at Ashecliffe

is you, Andrew.

Bullshit

You were committed here by

court order 24 months ago.

your crime's terrible.

One you can't forgieve yourself.

So you invented

another self.

Let us return to the facts.

And have created a story in which

you're not a murderer, you are hearless.......

you are a U.S marshal.

only here in Ashkliff

because of a case

and you've uncovered conspiracy

So that anything we tell you about

who you are, what you've done

you can dismiss as lies, Andrew

My name is Edward Daniels.

I've been hearing this fantasy

for two years. I know every details.

Patient 67. Storm.

Rachel Solando.

your missing partner

Dreams you have every night.

You were at Dachave,

But it could not have killed any guards.

I wish i could let you just

live in your fantasy world

I really do.

But are violent, trained, dangerous.

You're the most dangerous patient we have.

You've injured all of the guards

Other patients.

Two weeks ago

you attacked George Noyce.
