(soft suspenseful music)

- God, just give me a sign.

(soft suspenseful music)

(waves crashing)

(crickets chirping)

(soft suspenseful music)

Give me a sign.

What should I do?

God, please take

care of my family.

(voices echoing)

Hello! Who's there?

(stream running)

(bird calling)

Hey, are you okay?

(bird calling)

Are you alone out here?

(suspenseful piano music)

Do you want me to help

you find your family?

(suspenseful piano music)

Wait!

(suspenseful piano music)

You forgot something!

(suspenseful piano music)

(bird calling)

You dropped your doll.

(soft suspenseful music)

(bird calling)

(soft piano music)

(soft suspenseful music)

(stream running)

(suspenseful piano music)

- Rest in peace, Angel.

(suspenseful piano music)

God bless you.

(soft suspenseful music)

(rain tapping)

(rain tapping)

(thunder rolling)

(soft suspenseful music)

(Adrian breathing hard)

(soft suspenseful music)

Whoa!

(girl laughing)

(suspenseful piano music)

(girl laughing)

(suspenseful piano music)

(thunder clapping)

(suspenseful piano music)

(thunder rolling)

(suspenseful piano music)

(girl laughing)

(suspenseful piano music)

(thunder rolling)

(voices whispering)

(soft suspenseful music)

(thunder rolling)

- [Girl] I want my doll.

(soft suspenseful music)

(waves lapping)

- We're here.

Another nightmare?

- It's nothing.

(birds singing)

Is this it?

Are we here?

- Why are you so impatient?

I've been the one who's

doing all the driving.

- I'm not impatient.

I'm just tired.

- A thank you would be nice.

I mean, I'm not the one

who chose to come here.

- Why are you trying

to cause an argument?

- Me?

You're the one

with the attitude.

- You know how I am

after I have a nap.

- Which is why I

hate you napping.

- You can hate me

napping all you like,

but you can't

control me, Oliver.

- I know, believe me. And I

have no intention of doing so.

- Good.

- Hey?

- What?

- Your attitude isn't the

only think that stinks.

- So rude.

- Least I'm honest.

- No.

- Let's go then.

(waves lapping)

(soft piano music)

(waves lapping)

(soft piano music)

(Oliver sighing)

I thought that journey

would never end.

- Well, we're here now, so.

- Where should we start?

(birds calling)

- Say we head into town

and take it from there?

- You know what?

- What?

- I know I was against

coming here, but

I think this is

exactly what I needed.

It could be good for me.

Good for us.

I mean, I know we've had

our difficulties, but

I think this could give

us the time we need.

Since I've known you,

I've spent more time

in the office than

in your company.

- All work and no play makes

Oliver a dull boy (laughs).

- Doesn't it just (laughs)?

Think we should start that way.

I have a feeling it's right.

- You're not gonna get

us lost again, are you?

- It's all part of

the adventure, baby.

- Mm.

(waves crashing)

- Are you?

Don't worry.

- What? Sorry.

- It's uh, it's

nothing. Let's just go.

- Okay.

(Maria laughing)

(suspenseful piano music)

(waves crashing)

(waves lapping)

- Maybe this wasn't the best

time of year to come here.

Let's go away, she said.

We'll have fun, she said.

- Stop.

Look, when we get to the island,

you're gonna have

so much material.

(waves lapping)

Look, about earlier,

I'm sorry, just got a

lot on my mind right now.

- It's okay, I know. I

just wish you'd talk to me.

- I will.

- Can you hold this?

Thanks.

(soft piano music)

(waves lapping)

Thanks.

Do you wanna?

(waves lapping)

- We've come all this way.

Just take us to the

fricking island.

- I don't have a

problem with you,

only with your stupidity.

- What?

- Excuse me.

- The Island of

Dolls is not a place

for a romantic getaway.

- He's my brother.

- She's my sister.

(Guillermo sighing)

- Okay, fine, I'll take you.

But it won't be cheap.

- Well, just so happens

money's not an issue. So good.

(water lapping)

- Hi, I think we're all

going to the same place?

- Oh, happy days, we

can split the bill then.

- Hi, I'm Yaz. This

is my brother Jake.

- I'm Oliver.

- Hello, mate.

- Hi, I'm Maria.

- Fantastic, Maria.

- Guys, if you insist on

going, we must leave now.

The tide changes too fast.

- All right, all

right. Chill out.

Let's go then.

(water lapping)

- Is everything all right?

- Doesn't seem it.

- Yeah, no, we just had

a long day, that's all.

- We had a hell of a journey.

- It's not an easy

place to get to, is it?

- No, not at all.

But I'm already getting

some great shots.

We're not even there yet.

- Oh, sweet. Let's have

a little look, mate.

- You're a photographer?

- Who knows? Isn't

everyone these days?

- Not everyone has the talent.

- No, but everyone

has the capability

in the palm of their hands.

- Mm.

- Yeah, I've never

really usually got

enough memory for photos.

- Because you're

phone is full of porn.

- Shut up, Yaz.

- What about you, Maria?

- Well, it was her idea to

come here in the first place.

- No, no, I just heard

about this place online

so thought we

should check it out.

- I don't like

taking people there.

It's the energy. It's

unnatural, haunting.

- What do you know

about the island?

(water lapping)

- Enough. I have no

need to know more.

(soft suspenseful music)

And neither should you.

- Oh, well way to put a

damper on the holiday.

- Come on, get in my boat.

(soft suspenseful music)

(water lapping)

(soft suspenseful music)

(waves crashing)

- Yaz, was it?

- Yeah, why?

- So this is my number.

- Come on, Casanova, chill out.

- So, the tide will

be too low for me

to come back until tomorrow

evening, the earliest.

So call me when you

want picking up.

- Thanks.

- Oh, and don't take anything

from the island. I mean it.

Look, but don't touch.

That's our word here.

- Sure.

- What's his problem?

- Locals, isn't it, mate?

Always superstitious, especially

the weird goblin types.

- Why are you staring?

- Come on, let's look at

some weird dolls then.

(suspenseful piano music)

(birds singing)

(suspenseful piano music)

(birds singing)

Anyone want a bit of this?

- Thought you were

gonna quit smoking.

- All right, I will, but

you don't come to The Island

of the Dolls without getting

a little bit high at least.

Could be my best

trip yet, I reckon.

- I don't think you're

gonna need the drugs.

- Oh, Guillermo told us

not to touch anything.

(birds chirping)

- [Jake] This place is

creepy as sh*t, man.

- What were you expecting?

- I don't know.

Like a toy shop on

acid or something.

Guess it's not that far off.

- Not far off at all.

(birds singing)

- [Jake] I'm taking

a look around.

- Oh, Jake, can I come with you?

- Mm, I think it's

too late for that.

- He is such a nightmare.

It is literally

like a school trip

trying to get

information from him.

- Hm, you guys

seem close, though.

- Yeah, I mean,

we are.

He's my brother, I love

him unconditionally, but

I think if we weren't related,

I'd probably want

nothing to do with him.

- Yeah, it's a shame we can't

choose our family, right?

- (laughs) Yeah, a

self-indulged drug addict

would be at the

bottom of my list.

(Maria chuckles)

(birds singing)

So, what's the deal

with you and Oliver?

- What's the deal?

He's my partner.

- Are you married?

- No, no.

He's my boyfriend.

I don't really like that phrase.

Kinda makes me feel

like I'm 16 again.

Hm.

- What's wrong with that?

I'd give anything

to be 16 again.

- Yeah, to be fair, so would I.

- It's pathetic, but I ...

- Yeah, no, it's fine, go.

- I'll catch you later. Jake.

- Oliver?

(birds singing)

- See this?

- Mm.

(birds singing)

(stream running)

(birds singing)

- (whispers) Want

to see some more?

- Who's there?

(soft suspenseful music)

(girl laughing)

What's so funny?

- (whispers) I'll show you.

(soft suspenseful music)

- Do your parents know you're

out here? Are you lost?

- [Girl] Are you?

(soft suspenseful music)

(birds singing)

(leaves rustling)

(soft music)

(leaves rustling)

(soft suspenseful music)

(gentle piano music)

(wind humming)

- Jake?

- Hi. Look after me backpack,

I'm gonna go climb that tree.

(birds singing)

(wind whistling)

(soft suspenseful music)

(gentle piano music)

- [Oliver] She

wants her doll back.

(gentle piano music)

(wind pounding)

(gentle piano music)

It's not too late.

(Maria gasping)

(soft suspenseful music)

- For f*ck sake, Oliver.

- Don't panic, it's only me.

This place is so surreal.

I know I was unsure

about coming here,

but I think this is

exactly what I needed.

I mean, the shots

that I'm getting,

they're interesting

and composed.

You know, they're layered.

Did you find

anything interesting?

- I did.

- I passed Yaz and

Jake on the way to you.

They're looking for

a place to camp.

- No, I don't think we

should stay the night.

- Why not?

- I don't think we need to.

- Come on.

You always wanted

to visit this place.

- Yeah, but that doesn't mean

that we need to stay the night.

- But why not? I mean, we just

got here, what's the rush?

- What if what Guillermo

said was right?

- (laughs) Just ignore him.

I mean, it's like

what Jake said.

The locals are

always superstitious.

(wind pounding)

Let's just, make the

most of it, okay?

(wind pounding)

- Fine.

Any ideas?

- Oh yeah.

I can think of a few.

- Stop (laughs).

- It's a bit late to

change your mind anyway.

Guillermo told Yaz

that we can't leave

till tomorrow night, so.

(wind pounding)

(Maria sighing)

(wind pounding)

(flames crackling)

- And that wraps up Episode

One of Backwoods Brutality.

- Don't forget to subscribe

for exclusive content

from The Island of Dolls.

- [Together] Down and out.

- That was really something.

- Thanks.

- Uh, yeah, it um ...

I meant that ...

- Scan to subscribe.

- Okay, yeah, fine,

I'll have a look.

(flames crackling)

Jake, would you stop

adding logs to the fire?

You're gonna make it too big.

- You been moaning that

you been cold all week.

Doing it for you, Sis.

- That's just not true.

You've been obsessed with fire

since you were like

five years old.

I mean, do you remember

the time that you set

the entire garden shed on fire?

And all of the garden toys.

- Yeah, that was pretty

epic, to be fair, wasn't it?

So that night I had a dream

that Guy Fawkes give me

a little pat on the back and

said he was real proud of me.

- Shut up (laughs).

Would you stop going

off on your own?

- Will you just leave me alone?

Stop worrying, Yaz.

I'm a big boy now.

(flames crackling)

Thanks for letting us set up

camp with you guys anyway.

- Aw, that's cool. We've

been here since yesterday.

Probably better if we

stick together anyway.

- Have you seen anything

weird since you been here?

- Oh, we're not

ones for spoilers.

- I'll put the bags away.

- Thank you.

- Maria, this is

Courtney and Dan.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

- Likewise. Join us.

(flames crackling)

- Where did you end

up going today then?

- I just found a cabin,

had a little look around.

- Exciting. See

anything strange?

- Nothing different to anything

you guys would have seen.

- Well, be careful in

one of those cabins.

It could fall down

at any moment.

- Oh yeah, imagine that.

Death by cabin written

on your gravestone.

Can think of better ways

to go, to be honest.

Think I'd rather

get stabbed by one

of these freaky a*s dolls.

- Well, that'd be a

good story to tell.

- Wouldn't it just (laughs)?

- Yeah, well, wouldn't

get your hopes up.

(flames crackling)

- So, Maria, what

brought you here?

- Oh (clears throat),

it's a long story.

- Perfect.

- Perfect.

- That's what we're here for.

- Would anybody

like to go first?

(flames crackling)

(animal calling)

- What do you want me to say?

- Just follow our lead.

- And be natural.

So, who are you?

- Who am I? Sounds like a

f*cking AA meeting or something.

- Let's just skip ahead.

So why did you come to

The Island of Dolls?

- Well, kinda just

got roped into it.

- We got some money.

- Our parents died.

- So, we're traveling the

world on our inheritance.

- I really didn't wanna

come. It was Yaz's idea.

- I just can't leave

him alone, not anymore.

It's, it's not good for him.

- I want to spend

summer with the lads.

You know, go to Amsterdam

or something cool,

but instead, I'm here.

- I have to take

responsibility because

Mum and Dad didn't

do a good enough job.

- See, at least with my

parents I got a bit of freedom.

With my sister, it's like

being in f*cking Alcatraz.

- I just had to take

everything away,

to try and get him clean.

- We're here by accident really.

I just went to a chip

shop, saw a leaflet,

and she was adamant

that we had to come.

- So, we jumped on a train,

and we came to see what

all the fuss is about.

- Yaz seems to think that

we can travel forever,

but I know that it's just to

get away from my bad habits.

- And to get away from grief.

(flames crackling)

- Well, that got deep real fast.

- But thank you

for being honest.

It really does

make a difference.

So, Maria, can you

tell us a little

something about yourself?

- What do you wanna know?

- Anything.

- There's not

really much to say.

- There's no pressure.

(flames crackling)

- So, were you

already traveling,

or did you come here especially?

- Um, especially, I guess.

- Now that's surprising.

- Is it?

Why?

- Well, it's not exactly

an easy place to get to.

- It's no harder

than Disneyland.

- Yeah, but there's

no magic here.

- Okay, why'd you go?

- It's what we do.

Why was Oliver accompanying you?

(flames crackling)

- We're a couple.

We do things for each

other as well as ourselves.

- So this was all

on your accord?

- No.

Well, I think he

liked the idea too.

He recently lost his job,

so I thought this would be

a good place for him to get

his creative juices

flowing again, I guess.

- As good a place as any.

- Can we stop now please?

- Just one more--

- No, I said, can we stop?

- Well, we, really should

get the full story.

(flames crackling)

- Fine.

Um, my family always

knew about this place.

I always felt like an outsider.

I didn't really

know much about it,

so I came here to

start bridging the gap.

- Ah, I know exactly

what you mean.

My family are a nightmare.

If it's not about sport,

they're not interested.

- We did this first series

about the ghost of George Best.

- And even that couldn't

spark a conversation.

- You got what you

need? Can I go now?

- They've heard more

than I ever have.

- Oliver, just not now.

- [Courtney] Sure,

thanks, Maria.

(Yaz sobbing)

(wind blowing)

(rain tapping)

- Dan, just do it

tomorrow. Come to bed.

- Sh.

Oh.

I'm working.

- I can't sleep with you

tip tapping next to me.

- Just roll over

and go to sleep.

(Courtney sighing)

Mature. Real mature.

(rain tapping)

(Courtney sighing)

(wind whistling)

(gentle piano music)

(stream running)

(gentle piano music)

(birds calling)

(gentle piano music)

(soft suspenseful music)

(water flowing)

(soft suspenseful music)

- [Girl] I want my doll.

- Backwoods Brutality.

That's a sh*t name.

(rain tapping)

(Jake exhaling)

(tent unzipping)

Is that you, Yaz?

(soft music)

Yaz, it, look, if you're gonna

moan at me about smoking,

I'm just gonna finish this one.

You know it helps me sleep.

(tent unzipping)

It's you.

Wait, just ...

(upbeat piano music)

Wait!

(upbeat piano music)

Where are you taking us?

- To meet my friends.

- Where are your friends?

- They're everywhere.

- Can't see anyone.

Why are they hiding?

- I don't know.

(twig snapping)

- Where did you go?

- (giggles) I'm

right here, silly.

(upbeat piano music)

- f*ck this, I've

had enough of this.

(Jake groaning)

(Jake coughing)

(Jake coughing)

(soft music)

(waves crashing)

- [Courtney] I just can't

believe the material

we got last night.

- I know. Our

subscribers'll be ecstatic.

- Forget about the

old subscribers.

Think of the new ones.

Then those trolls'll stop

leaving those negative comments.

- Hold on now, we still

got a lot of work to do.

- Hi.

Um, about last night?

- Uh, don't worry about

it. It was our fault.

- We shouldn't have

pushed so hard.

It's just this job, it

makes us seem a little ...

- Inconsiderate.

- It won't happen again.

- Thanks.

(Maria clearing throat)

(water rushing)

(birds singing)

Have you seen the others?

- Um, Oliver's

taking photographs.

Jake's in bed?

And Yaz,

I don't know where Yaz is.

- Right, thanks.

I'll leave you to

your work then.

(water rushing)

(birds singing)

(birds singing)

(stream running)

- Hm. Oh, morning.

Hi, do you wanna join me?

- Um, sure. What

exactly are you doing?

- I'm just looking for like

watercress or wild garlic

or something we can cook.

Come on.

(water lapping)

Have you seen Jake yet today?

- No, I haven't. I'm sorry.

- He is so lazy.

Do you know, we went

to Paris recently,

and he literally sat the whole

day and the Louvre closed?

- Yeah, I don't know

how you deal with him.

(stream running)

- Yeah.

How was last night in the end?

- Yeah, fine, nothing

really happened.

Nothing happened.

- Did the pods pressure you

for more than they deserve?

- Mm.

- Oh, just ignore them.

I mean, I know they're

irritating, but realistically

it's probably better

that we're in a group.

I mean, imagine how

super creepy this place

would be on your own.

- I mean it is

still super creepy.

- Yeah.

(stream running)

Have you heard the

stories about this place?

- What stories?

- About Adrian, the

doll, his death.

- Psst.

(stream running)

I hate this lens.

(soft suspenseful music)

(stream running)

What the f*ck?

- Personally, I think

Adrian was probably

just mad or something.

I don't really buy it.

- Oh well, we probably shouldn't

really jump to conclusions

without knowing the

truth, you know.

- Yeah, but if people

are gonna make up stories

about an island of dolls,

people are gonna jump

to conclusions, right?

- Yeah.

- I mean apparently, this

girl's body washed up

in the canal, and

Adrian found it.

And then in 2001,

Adrian's body washed up

in the same spot in the canal.

Weird, right?

- Mm, like I said, who

knows what to believe?

- Yeah, I guess.

(stream running)

(birds singing)

(stream running)

(soft suspenseful music)

I think that doll just moved.

- It's just a doll.

Probably nothing.

- What was that?

- Yeah.

- Come on, let's go.

(soft suspenseful music)

(stream running)

(water lapping)

(Yaz shrieking)

- Yaz!

- Take my hand, quick!

(Yaz shrieking)

You okay?

- No.

(soft suspenseful music)

(waves lapping)

- Right.

- It's okay, I'm here.

- Have you seen Jake yet?

- No. Should we see

if he's in his tent?

Yeah?

Oliver, can you just see if

Jake's in his tent please?

- Yeah, sure.

- He's not in there.

When you guys were out earlier,

he decided to go out for a walk.

- Uh, yeah, said he needed to

clear his head or something.

- Okay, thanks.

(birds singing)

I think it's time that I

was honest with you all.

- About what?

- Why I'm here.

(flames crackling)

(soft suspenseful music)

- Are you sure you

want to do this?

(soft music)

- Yeah, I should have been

truthful from the start.

- Right, so you ready

to go? I'm rolling.

- Ready when you are.

(soft piano music)

- Well, it's like I said before.

My family have always

known about place.

My grandfather, he

used to live nearby.

Whenever my mother

and I would visit,

he would tell us about Adrian.

(soft piano music)

He would tell us to

stay away from him.

And we did.

But we'd often see him

around and in passing.

Despite finding loads of

the dolls in the canals,

he'd often go into the town.

Some of the poorer

families, they would trade

their old dolls for crops

they would grow on the island.

- Are you getting this?

- From what I was told,

Adrian was a preacher

but at the time only anointed

priests could preach,

so his practice

was not appreciated

by the Catholic communities.

Apparently, he used

to get attacked a lot.

His family pleaded with him

to stop but he never did.

Some say that's what drove him

to the island in

the first place.

He was seeking

sanctuary from a place

that he was never

really welcome in.

- What's this have to

do with you, Maria?

- Let her talk.

- [Maria] Well, tours

of the island started

when Adrian was still alive.

He would take people

around in exchange

for a donation when his

crops were struggling.

- So, that just about brings

us to the end of the tour.

Are there any questions?

- [Tourist] How many

dolls are on the island?

- Well, that's a great question.

Probably,

you know, I've been

collecting for a long time.

I think about a

thousand five hundred.

Give or take.

Do you have any questions?

Oh, someone in the

back there, hi.

- [Tourist] Does anyone

live on the island?

- Well, it's, believe

it or not, it's just me.

The island was, it was

empty when I found it.

A strange little story,

which I don't wanna

get into right now, but,

yeah, the island

was pretty much,

pretty much alone

like me in life.

So the dolls washed up, and

I've collected as I've gone.

And here we are today.

We had a little one right there.

- [Maria] On one of our

visits, my mother decided

that she wanted to go on one.

She wanted to get her own

perspective on the man

and the situation,

rather than taking rumors

and conspiracies as the truth.

She decided to take me with her.

I think she thought

I'd like the dolls.

Which I did.

But I don't think

she realized what

the island would look like.

(gentle piano music)

(stream running)

- Where is this going, Maria?

- I'm getting there.

- It's okay.

Take your time.

I'm here.

- Thanks.

- [Adrian] Thanks

very much for coming.

- Thank you.

Take care of yourself.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, thanks.

(stream running)

(birds singing)

- What's the matter?

(stream running)

- Excuse me?

- You seem sad.

- What makes you say that?

- No one should be sad.

(stream running)

- And what's your name?

- Maria.

- Well that's a very

nice name, Maria.

Do you like the dolls?

(stream running)

They used to belong to a

little girl I once knew.

- What was her name?

- [Adult Maria] At that

moment, it was as if

I could sense his emotions.

Hopeless, yet hopeful.

Suddenly all of the stories

felt real, yet wrong.

I've never forgotten it.

Adrian was anything but lost.

He felt obligated to the

land, to the young girl,

but it's clear he missed

who he was before.

- Would you like

one of the dolls?

(soft music)

Would you like to have that one?

Here.

I'd like you to have this one.

- [Adult Maria] I've never

forgotten that moment.

I was lucky enough to

see who he really was

and have the specter that

others never experienced.

(soft music)

- [Mother] Maria, get over

here now. The boat's leaving.

(stream running)

- Ever since that moment,

I've been having dreams

about the island.

Hearing the voice

of a young girl,

pleading for her doll back,

I also hear the

voices of the dolls

and I have dreams about

the island, dolls in it.

It's turbulent past.

- We're going viral with this.

- Way, honey, way.

(stream running)

- What aren't you telling us?

- She's said enough.

(stream running)

- There's more, isn't there?

- I mean, to be

honest, we were here

before you guys

even arrived and,

back then the island

was peaceful and quiet.

- Kind of boring, to be honest.

- But, since you arrived,

something's changed.

It's like something's awakened.

- Somebody died.

- What are you talking about?

- Maria, what do

you know about this?

(stream running)

- What's happened?

Tell me.

- Play it for her, Dan.

- You sure about this?

- Play me what?

- Okay.

Going to need these.

(stream running)

(birds singing)

(soft suspenseful music)

(Yaz screaming)

(soft suspenseful music)

(birds singing)

(water rumbling)

- I think the recording

device picked up

the screams from

somewhere over here.

- This is wrong, Dan.

- We couldn't have stopped it.

- Maybe we shoulda tried.

- Our job is to observe the

action, not become the action.

- Well look what's happened.

- This isn't on us.

- Yaz, try to keep up.

- How much further is it?

(soft suspenseful music)

Let me through.

- No, you don't--

- I need through.

(Yaz screaming)

(soft suspenseful music)

(Yaz crying)

(soft suspenseful music)

- Do you hear that?

- Hear what?

Dan, what is it?

(girl laughing)

- There it is again.

I think it's come from this way.

(soft suspenseful music)

(Yaz wailing)

- Yaz, I'll come back for

you, I promise. I just ...

I need to see where Dan went.

I'm so sorry.

(stream running)

Dan?

Where are you?

(stream running)

Observe the action.

Don't become the action.

(stream running)

Observe the action.

Don't become the action.

Dan?

Are you there?

- [Girl] He's here.

I can see him.

- Who's that?

(soft suspenseful music)

Who's that?

Tell me where Dan is.

- [Girl] I can take you

to him, if you like.

- At what expense?

- [Girl] Nothing.

- Stop playing games.

- [Girl] I didn't realize

you were playing a game.

- We're not.

Nor will I.

- [Girl] It's too late.

- Observe the action.

(soft suspenseful music)

This is Courtney speaking.

I'm deep in the woods on

The Island of the Dolls.

(girl laughing)

(soft suspenseful music)

I can hear the voice

of a little girl.

(birds calling)

It's as if she surrounds me.

- [Girl] Wanna play?

(soft suspenseful music)

- She seems to be trying

to lead me somewhere.

I'm going to follow

along in an attempt to

observe the action.

(soft suspenseful music)

- [Girl] Hello.

- There's something

new about the island.

As if it's truly come alive.

(suspenseful music)

The dolls.

I feel like they're watching

me, which isn't an experience

I've felt since

arriving at the island.

(soft suspenseful music)

I don't know if

you can hear that.

But the wind, it's,

it's like it's hail

razors against the ears,

hitting against me,

and it's familiar yet

supernatural.

(soft suspenseful music)

The dolls.

They've moved.

(soft suspenseful music)

(girl calling)

(soft suspenseful music)

- [Girl] Love her.

- Wait. Come back here!

(soft suspenseful music)

- [Girl] Love her.

(soft suspenseful music)

(twigs snapping)

Hello.

- As of yet, I'm

still to find Dan.

I fear we may have

gotten too close.

The island is growing

in its energy.

(bird cawing)

And it's haunting.

(stream running)

(girl calling)

This has gone on

for long enough!

(suspenseful music)

- [Girl] Hello.

(suspenseful music)

- I'm in pursuit of the

little girl's voice.

(suspenseful music)

I can sense it. I'm

getting closer to her.

And hopefully to Dan.

(girl calling)

- [Girl] Hello.

(suspenseful music)

(both gasping)

- Dan.

(soft music)

- Honey.

- [Girl] You found

each other, yay!

(bodies thudding)

(stream running)

(leaves crunching)

- Wish I brought marshmallows.

(birds cawing)

(stream running)

(soft piano music)

What are we even doing here?

You never told me about

any of this, Maria.

How do you think

that makes me feel?

I would do anything to make

you feel better, Maria.

(soft piano music)

Why do you think that I

can't help you with the past?

Why didn't you think that ...

- Oliver, please, just stop.

Look, one of these days

you need to realize that

just because we're in

a relationship, it,

it doesn't mean that you

own every ounce of me.

It isn't to stop me

being an individual.

Some things can,

some things can still be mine.

(stream running)

- I'm sorry. I didn't

mean to sound insensitive.

(stream running)

- It's fine.

It's fine. I get it.

I don't want you to feel

like you have to walk

on eggshells every

time you're around me.

Because you don't.

(soft piano music)

But you've gotta

understand that,

that I am who I am, okay?

With or without you.

And that, that doesn't make

you entitled to all of me,

only what I choose to share.

- How do you expect to

have a proper relationship

when all you do is

live in the past?

You came here as a child, Maria.

It took you this

long to come back.

Why do you keep taking ownership

for the things that

are happening here?

(stream running)

(soft music)

(Maria sighing)

- Remember the voice

of the young girl

that I've been hearing?

She's been feeling

for her doll back.

I thought that the

only way to make

my dreams stop was

by coming here.

- [Girl] Give me my doll.

- Who's there? Where are you?

- [Girl] It's been

so many years.

I didn't think you'd ever come.

- Leave her alone.

- [Girl] Did she bring

what I asked for?

- You gotta do it.

- What if I didn't?

(girl speaking indistinctly)

- Let's go.

(suspenseful piano music)

Maria, what are you doing?

- Can't you hear that?

- What?

- That.

- Maria, we have to

get out of here now.

- Look, I'm going in.

You don't have to join me.

(suspenseful piano music)

Come on.

(suspenseful music)

(floorboards creaking)

(gentle piano music)

- I didn't expect

this to happen.

(gentle piano music)

(stream lapping)

(gentle piano music)

- Bye.

(gentle piano music)

(birds singing)

(suspenseful music)

- [Girl] Give me my doll!

(soft music)

(girl crying)

- Maria, wait!

(birds singing)

(stream running)

I'm sorry. I ...

I wasn't thinking.

- [Girl] Give me my doll!

(stream running)

(soft music)

- I'll make ...

I'll make it up to you. I'll ...

I'll get you more. I'll ...

I'll get you many more,

hundred, hundreds more.

I'm sorry.

(stream running)

- [Adrian] The dolls

seemed to keep coming

and coming and coming.

I couldn't keep up

with her demand.

(stream running)

(birds singing)

My hands were pruned.

Blistered, and my body ached.

But I couldn't

stop, her sadness.

(soft music)

Nothing was ever enough.

(stream running)

She wouldn't stop crying.

I couldn't sleep.

Yet I stayed focused.

The demand became so high.

She wanted more.

I was aimless,

hopeless and defenseless.

(soft music)

It went on for many years.

At times I questioned my faith.

But in the end,

it's all that kept me going.

(soft music)

I had to trust that

God had a plan.

And this was it for me.

- Adrian, I'm so sorry.

If I'd have known, I, I--

- It's not your fault.

I should have explained.

- You were just being kind.

You shouldn't have

been punished for it.

- You don't understand.

The girl,

her life, her,

her innocence was taken.

I just wanted to honor her.

Just help her to rest in peace.

- What happened to her?

- I ...

I don't know how

she got there or

where she came from.

Nobody ever came to

look for the body.

She even doubted

her own existence.

I just knew I should help her.

She'd been dealt such a

unimaginable hand in life.

I ...

I didn't want that to follow

suit in the, in the afterlife.

- Maria, I think we should--

- Just.

Just wait one moment.

- Did you bring it?

(soft piano music)

(stream running)

(birds singing)

- [Guillermo] Who is it?

- It's Yaz. I need

picking up right now.

- [Guillermo] It's too late.

You should have called sooner.

I'll be there tomorrow evening

when the tide is right.

- No, please, you

have to come now.

- [Guillermo] I

may run a business,

but I'm not at

your beck and call.

- I'll pay you anything.

I'll pay you double.

I'll pay you more.

- [Guillermo] Has

something happened?

Tell me, has something

happened on the island?

- Please, come and pick me up.

- [Guillermo] Yeah,

are you there?

(stream running)

Hello. Talk to me,

what's happening?

(stream running)

- [Oliver] Well, Maria, did you?

Did you bring it with you?

- I ...

I ...

- [Oliver] Answer

the question, Maria.

Did you bring the doll with you?

- Maria, despite your silence,

the spirit of the girl

has, has awokened.

Which means you have,

I always said, such

a friendly face.

I always remember your voice.

You had an,

an innocence that,

you reminded me of

my own children.

- Why did you leave

your family for this?

(soft piano music)

- Because,

God has a,

God has a plan for all of us.

Sometimes,

being kind to

people and to God

comes at a price.

Being kind is the

ultimate sacrifice.

(soft piano music)

From my ...

From ....

From ...

From a certain perspective,

sometimes being

selfless is selfish.

(soft piano music)

I ...

I did what I thought was right.

(soft piano music)

(bag unzipping)

(soft piano music)

- Maria, what have you done?

- Oliver, give me the doll.

- Why would you bring this here?

- Look, I have been

ignoring my dreams

for as long as I can remember.

I've only just recently

started to believe

that they are true, that I

could so something about them.

Oliver, I've not spoken

to my mother in years.

Why do you think

you've never met her?

This is why.

I need, I need to let it all go,

but there is a part of

me that still blames her

for all of this.

- But you don't blame the

man who gave you the doll?

- I didn't know that

this was gonna happen.

I was just trying

to give it back.

- What took you so

long to bring it back?

- I just couldn't.

I didn't know what

was gonna happen,

and I guess a part of

me didn't want to know.

Oliver, I don't know who

I am without these dreams.

Who I am if they just stop.

I was just trying to

understand what happened here.

What happened to Adrian,

what happened to me.

- People are dead, Maria.

Look, if you won't hand the

doll back, I'll do it myself.

(feet stepping)

- Oliver!

- I'd be careful if I were you.

Not any closer.

- Okay.

Okay, have it your way.

But please, just let Oliver

and Yaz, let them go.

- I like you.

You're fast. I wish

you didn't have to die.

- Who are you?

- Why does that matter?

- You don't need to do this.

I know that you don't want to.

- You don't know what I want.

- Look, I was just

a child, okay?

Something awful happened to you.

That doesn't mean you

need to take it out

on everyone else.

- You stole from me!

- Look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I didn't know

what that doll meant to you

but it was given to

me, I never stole it.

- Liar!

- Maria, please, just

give her the doll!

- Quiet!

- Trust me, trust me.

- Why would I trust you?

I could never trust anyone.

- You must have trusted Adrian.

- I didn't trust

him, not really.

- Maybe you could have,

you didn't have to

make it so hard on him.

- What do you know?

You knew why my dolls

were on this island,

and you took one anyway.

It was mine.

- I was just a child,

much like you were.

- You were nothing like me.

- Look, we are

all born innocent.

Okay, but as we grow,

we change, we adapt

to our environment, I guess.

Look, none of this, none

of this is your fault.

Here.

Take the doll.

- Maria, quick, I can't breathe.

- Take it, come on just take it

and let Oliver and

let Yaz go free.

- No.

You don't deserve it.

You took what I love from me,

so I will take what

you love from you.

- Come on, we can, we can come

to some sort of arrangement.

Just take the doll.

- Never. You don't

deserve anything.

- Maria, I can't

hold on much longer.

- Quiet!

(soft suspenseful music)

What are you doing?

- Josie.

Josie, is that your name?

(gentle piano music)

It is, isn't it?

Your name is Josie?

- Maria, you can't trust her.

- Yes I can.

She's just a child.

(gentle piano music)

Take the doll.

Take the doll.

It's not too late.

(gentle piano music)

- It always was.

(lighter striking)

(flames roaring)

- [Maria] Get out. Get out!

- [Oliver] Come on,

Maria, we have to go.

- Wait, wait.

(suspenseful music)

- She's dead, Maria.

We have to go.

(soft suspenseful music)

(flames roaring)

(soft suspenseful music)

(flames roaring)

(suspenseful music)

(flames roaring)

(Oliver breathing hard)

- It's so good to see you.

- I wish I could say the same.

Where are the others?

Where is Yaz?

(Guillermo exhaling)

(waves crashing)

It's okay. Come with me.

(waves crashing)

- I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

- [Guillermo] Come on. The

boat is right over here.

(waves crashing)

(suspenseful piano music)

- Rest easy, my angel.

(soft music)

God be with you, Josie.

Peace at last.

- [Mother] I'm surprised

to hear from you.

- Yeah, I know.

It's been too long.

- [Mother] I've

tried reaching out.

- I know.

I'm sorry.

- [Mother] So what do you want?

Money? I have none.

Advice? None to give.

Opinion? Never appreciated.

- I just, I just wanna

talk, Mum. That's all.

I miss you.

(mother crying)

Hey look, I'll come and visit

you when I get back, okay?

I just wanna put this

distance behind us.

- [Mother] I don't understand.

- You don't need to.

- [Mother] Well,

whenever you're ready,

there's dinner on the

table, nothing's changed.

- Thank you.

- [Mother] Plus, I

want to meet Oliver.

- Yes, Mum.

- [Mother] Tell him

I want to meet him

sooner rather than later.

- I will, don't worry.

Look, I'll call

you when I get back

to arrange something, okay?

- [Mother] Why? Where are you?

- I'll tell you when I see you.

- [Mother] Okay, fine.

I look forward to it.

See you soon, Misha.

- Okay, bye.

(Maria sighing)

- I'm impressed. Didn't

think you had it in you.

- I have a lot of

making up to do.

- I understand,

you know. I get it.

Some things are personal.

- Look, I trust

you. And I love you.

No more closed doors.

- Oh yeah? Got you a coffee.

- Thanks.

(soft piano music)

This feels weird.

- What does?

- All of this being over.

- The dreams?

- Stopped.

- Don't take it for granted.

- I don't.

I don't know, sometimes

the silence is worse.

The memories of the dreams and

reality, they come

into my mind and,

I don't know, I don't

think it's to scare me,

or to put me at

ease, I don't know.

- What parts do you see?

- Josie.

I hear her voice.

Her laugh.

Her cry.

I can't help but think

of the others as well.

- You can't blame

yourself, Maria.

You weren't to know what

the dolls would cause.

You were just a child.

(soft dramatic music)

- Maybe you're right.

(soft dramatic music)

- Come on. It's time.

Let's go home.

(upbeat dramatic music)
