Shutter Island Page #8

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.

I did so something!.............................

- You have ............

- off course I didn't.

Give me one reason

why i even touch him.

Because he called you Laeddis

and you do anything not to be him

I have a transcript of that conversation

you had with Noyce yesterday .

This is about you and Laeddis

That's all it's ever been about

This says it's about

"me and Laeddis".

When you've asked him what happened

to his face,

said, and I quote again,

"You did it".

- he meant it was my fault he ...

- you almost killed him.

The warden and the board of overseas

are determined that something be done it's been decided

nevertheles we can bring you back in sanity now

right now

Permanent measures will be taken to ensure

you can't hurt anyone ever again

they lobotomine you, Andrew.

do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

I understand just fine

If , if I don't play along

with your little game here

Dr. Naehring will turn me into

one of his ghosts.

What about my partner?

you mean a U.S. marshal

is a defense mechanism?

Hey, boss .

What the f*** is going on here?

you're working for him?

I'm sorry about that

someone had to stay with you, keep you safe

You've been watch me, right?

watch me every minute.

Who ... who are you?

Who are you?

Tell me.

don't you recognize me, Andrew?

I've been you primary psychiatrist

for the last two years.

I am Lester Sheehan.

And I told you about my wife ...

- I know.

- I climbed a cliff to save you.

I trusted you. I risked

everything, after you. Everything!

I know, boss `.

we're running out of time here, Andrew,

I swore before the entire board of

overseas that I could construct

The most radical, role-play

ever in history of psychiatry and

that will bring you back.

I thought if we let you play

this out

we could get you to see how

untrue how impossible it is

we've had to tun of the place for two days

Tell me, where are the Nazi experiments

The satanic O.R.'s

Andrew, listen to me.

If we fail on you

then everything we've tried

to do here will be discredited.

Everything.

We are on the first line of a war, Andrew

and right now, in this place

it comes down to you

Do not move!

- Andrew, no!

- My name is Teddy Daniels.

This one is loaded.

I can tell from the weight.

I see. and that's your firearm marshall

You're sure?

There's a dent in the barrel from

the day Philip Stacks shot at me.........

and the bullet ricocheted. You're not going to mind-f*** me out of this doc

Then blast away, because that's the

only way you're ever getting off this island

Andrew, please don't.

My gun ...

What have you done to

my goddamned gun.

It's a toy, Andrew.

we're telling you the truth.

Dolores was insane. Manic-depressive.

suicidal.

You drank. stay away.

ignored what everyone told you.

You moved in that lake house after

she, purposely,

set your city apartment on fire

Andrew... Andrew

stop it

you're lying...

These are your children.

Serena ...

- Henry ...

- I have no children.

Your wife drowned them

in the cabin by the lake.

And here, the little girl,

you dream about

every night.

I never had a daughter.

the one who tells you over and over that

you should saved her

save them all

Your daughter ...

Her name is Rachel. are you going to deny

that she ever lived?

Andrew, are you?

I'm so sorry, honey ..

I told you not to coming here.

I told you ...

this would be the end of you.

I came back.

we got him

just out of Oklahoma.

must stopped ten places

between here and Tulsa

I could sleep for a week

Dolores?

Dolores?

Dolores?

Dolores?

Honey ...

Why are you all wet?

I missed you.

I want to go home.

You're home!

Where are the kids?

they're in school.

It's Saturday, honey.

school's not in on Saturday

my school is

Oh my God!

My God!

God!

Oh, Good God, no!

Come on!

Come on!

Please, God, no.

No!

No!

No!

Let put them in the kitchen.

They'll be our living dolls

Tomorrow we can take them on a picnic.

If you ever loved me , Dolores ...

Please stop talking

I need you to love me.

I need you to free me!

Honey ...

We'll give them baths...

- I love you so much Dolores

- And I love you. I love you.

Andrew ...

Andrew, can you hear me?

Rachel!

Rachel, Rachel ...

Rachel.

Rachel who?

Rachel Laeddis ...

My daughter.

Why are you here?

Because I killed my wife.

and why did you do that?

she murdered our children.

And she told me to let her go.

- Who is Teddy Daniels?

- he doesn't exist.

Neither Rachel Solando.

I made them up.

Why?

we need to hear you say it.

After she trie to kill

her for the first time,

Dolores told me that ...

she has an insect ...

living inside her brain.

she could feel it ...

walking cross

her skull ...

pulling the wires,

just for fun.

she told me that.

she told me but i didn't listen

I loved her so much.

Why did you make them up?

Because I can not take knowing

that Dolores killed our children.

I killed them, because

i didn't get her some help.

I killed them...

Here's my theory, Andrew.

we broke through once before,

nine months ago,

and then you regressed.

- I do not remember that.

- I know.

you reset, Andrew.

like a tape

playing over and over on an endless loop

I hope that what we've done will be enough

to stop it from happening again

I need to know ...

that you have accepted the reality.

You came after me, Doctor?

You tried to help me when no one else would

My name is Andrew Laeddis ...

And I murdered my wife

in the spring of 1952.

how we doing this morning?

good.

and You?

can't complain.

So what's our next move?

You tell me.

We've gotta get off this rock,

Chuck.

Back to the mainland. Whatever the

hell is going on here is bad.

Do not worry, partner.

I'm gonna catch this

that............ is too small for them.

Yes, we are.

aren't we?

You know this place makes

me wonder

Yeah? What's that boss?

which would be worse?

To live as a monster ...

or to die as a good man.

Teddy?
