Maddie!

Please, please, please!

Maddie!

The young girl,

daughter of third-generation island native

and real estate giant Frank Connolly,

was stranded in the Moriah Forest

after her friend took her own life.

A hunter found her half dead at the bottom of a ravine

with a severe head wound

where she had been for two days

without any food or water.

The man, who had recently moved to the small island,

is being hailed as a hero

and upheld as an example of the strong,

tight-knit community that the island is known for.

Finally, young Fey Connolly can return to her normal life.

Breathe...breathe...

One, two, three, four...

Birdie?

Time to get up, you've got soccer.

-Fey, honey! -Hi!

Do you have everything you need?

Yeah, Mom!

Got your water?

Yeah, Mom.

-How 'bout a snack? -Mom, yeah.

Don't forget you've got your exam today at 10.

And then we have

the Jones ribbon-cutting ceremony this afternoon.

I know. I'll be there.

-Have a good day. -Hey.

Bye!

I once heard someone say that hotel art is designed

to create a feeling of safety and comfort.

Calming colors and brushstrokes that gently hypnotize guests

into feeling at home...

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

...no matter how far away they might be.

That's it, come around.

That's it, all right. Great job, Connolly.

Good effort.

Hey. It's nice to have you back on the team.

The thing is...

it's just an illusion.

You made a good decision, Frank.

Good bones.

Make a fine Anderson Resort.

Put this little island of yours on the map.

Everything squared away with the community?

I heard there was some pushback.

Don't you worry about the community.

It'll be all right.

The Connolly name goes a long way here.

Well, I've gotta run.

Go ahead and send over that paperwork.

We'll get this deal done.

Good job.

It's not real,

no matter how badly you want it to be.

Beth, Fey--come on.

Come here!

Y'all ready?

Three, two, one...

Congratulations.

This island is a hotel painting.

"We will update your application status

in four to six weeks."

It's been six weeks.

Shh. Shh, shh, shh.

Don't be so loud, shh!

I tried to keep her quiet,

but she's clearly too excited to meet you.

Ohh!

So, what do you think?

A little birdie for my birdie.

Thought it'd be a great way to celebrate.

So cute!

Celebrate what, though?

Oh, the hotel! Did they invest?

We should have the paperwork in in a few days.

This time next year, we will have an official

Anderson Resort hotel here on the island.

That's gonna boost tourism.

That's gonna be great.

That's great, Dad.

You hate tourists.

I don't hate tourists, Beth, I just...

want to protect our little paradise.

Anderson is a family resort and they have the same values,

well, as us.

Dinner's ready. Come on, you guys.

So, do you like her?

I love her. Thank you.

This is a big deal for our family

and for the island.

Working with Anderson's gonna mean

more corporate opportunities,

and now that your mom's a licensed realtor,

the sky's the limit for our family.

Well, as if your family doesn't own half the island already!

Curt! I didn't know you were joining us.

I'll, uh, set another place.

I invited him to celebrate.

He practically is a part of the family.

I got you, bud.

Oh! I heard you passed your real estate exam today.

Congratulations, Mrs. Connolly!

How's lemonade for everyone?

Sounds great, thank you.

You okay, Mom?

Yeah!

Sorry, honey.

It's just, that bird's really loud, huh?

-You hate her. -No! Not at all.

If you love her, I love her.

Is it Curt?

You...hate Curt 'cause he smells like jerky?

No, baby.

He saved your life!

I could never hate Curt.

Even if he does smell like jerky.

Come on.

Thank you, sweetheart, that was, uh...

that was a really good meal.

Don't even start with me.

What?

I can tell when you're lying.

You always stammer when you lie.

No, it was, um...

Mm-hm. Exactly.

You staying for dessert?

Nah, I gotta be headin' out.

Got an early hunt tomorrow, if you wanted to come.

You know I'd love to,

but I'm taking Fey to Moriah College tomorrow,

see if we can get her enrolled in some summer courses.

Fey, can you hand me that pie knife, please?

Is New York officially off the table?

We decided that it was best for Fey

to not be that far away from home,

especially after everything she's gone through.

I don't know why she would want to leave the island anyway.

You okay?

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

I went hunting last week and I got another deer.

I hit him right in the neck, but I was able to get--

Hey, guys. That's enough.

Fey's not good with the violence.

I'm okay, really, Mom.

Uh, it's fine.

Uh, we're gonna go out to Curt's truck.

He's gonna show me his new rifle.

Will you please save me some pie?

Thank you, sweetheart.

Hunting's dumb.

Those dear aren't hurting anybody.

Just, like, let 'em--

Fey? Fey!

Honey, honey!

Oh my God. Fey!

Frank!

Frank...

Maddie!

Maddie!

You're okay. Just breathe!

Frank!

What happened?

Frank! Get her hands, Frank!

Curt! Call 911.

Curt! Call for help right now, please!

Please! Fey!

Fey, you're okay!

Daddy's here, we're here.

We're here, baby.

-Breathe. -Mom...

What happened?

The paramedics said it was a seizure

caused by a severe panic attack.

Most likely.

Panic attacks are often accompanied

by physical symptoms--

disorientation, sweating, breathlessness,

and so on.

If a person tries to breathe too rapidly,

it can absolutely result in a seizure.

It's scary, I know.

But you're okay.

What's this?

Mm. A button.

It was Maddie's.

From her jacket.

Well, I think that's a very sweet thing.

Dr. Devi?

The things I saw in my head...

were they real?

What did you see?

Normally, when I remember or dream about that time,

there are woods.

But this time, it was, like, a beach with red sand.

Red sand?

There's nothing like that on the island, birdie.

Sometimes, when our minds are a little fuzzy,

we fill in the gaps with things

that we've seen on TV,

or just from our imagination.

It's normal, I promise.

Thank you, Dr. Devi.

What do we do if it happens again?

It likely will.

Her brain is trying to fit a million little pieces

back together,

make sense of her trauma.

Trauma?

That feels a bit strong.

I mean, she's been fine.

She's been down, but--

Did you contact that mainland psychiatrist I recommended?

No. Not yet.

I've been meaning to, and...

You'll want to confirm the diagnosis with her,

but Fey is likely dealing with some form of PTSD.

PTSD? I don't think--

It's not uncommon.

One in three people who experience trauma

develop it.

There are medications and psychological therapies.

Call, my friend.

We will.

We appreciate that, thank you.

You didn't tell me that he'd given you the name

of a psychiatrist to call.

We should do that.

She will be fine.

This'll pass.

Frank, if she's suffering--

You weren't here, were you?

So you don't know.

I failed the exam.

Ahoy there, sailor.

Shouldn't you be resting in your quarters?

-How's it going? -It's great.

We have a compass that always points south

and it's the least broken thing on this boat.

Nah, real sailors use the stars.

Do you remember how to do that?

I mean, it's been a while,

as evidenced by old disgusting leaves and debris.

It feels like every tree in our yard threw up.

Permission to come aboard?

Granted.

You know, you don't have to sneak off to the mailbox

every morning.

If Dad found out I applied to New York

after he told me not to...

Hey.

Let me worry about your dad.

And you worry about doing what's best for you, okay?

Fey!

I'm glad you're feeling better.

We gotta be at Moriah College by 9.

You might wanna get dressed.

I'll start that after today.

Yeah. Good idea.

Mr. Connolly.

I wasn't expecting you.

Jeff. You know my daughter, Fey.

Of course. Hi, Fey.

Great picture in the paper the other day.

As we discussed,

I'm here to get Fey enrolled

in your pre-summer college program.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Connolly.

I spoke to the board,

but registration for high school students

looking to register for pre-college courses

is closed.

How 'bout we talk in your office?

Come on, Fey.

Connolly Family Real Estate.

Yes, Mr. Anderson.

I can absolutely let him know.

Wait, what?

Sorry, I...

One second!

Hello...

Hello?

Hi! Can I help you?

Frank Connolly, please.

Uh, he's not in right now.

I'm his wife, is there something I can...

Is Frank expecting you?

I should go.

Hold on one sec.

Ma'am, just, uh-- just a minute!

Ma'am?

I'm sorry, Mr. Connolly.

If if were up to me, I'd let her in,

but the rules are set by the board, and the board--

Jeff.

I don't care who they're set by.

You know what my daughter's been through.

Dad!

So how 'bout you get 'em on the phone and tell 'em

that Frank Connolly wants to talk?

It's--it's fine.

I don't wanna go here anyway.

You should be close to home right now.

Your great-grandfather donated the money to this institution

so it could even exist.

We built this island.

I'm pretty sure he can find one open spot for you.

Mom, it's me again.

Pick me up, please.

I'm supposed to be drawing something outside?

Is that a question?

Well, it wasn't supposed to be.

Hang on.

Hi. I'm Ali,

and I'm supposed to be drawing something outside for my class.

I tried drawing some ducks,

but they wouldn't stay still for me.

It was driving me ducking mad.

Um, anyway, I saw you look pretty settled on that bench,

so I thought maybe I could draw you?

I don't care.

Cool. Like your enthusiasm.

I'm Fey, by the way.

Fey?

Oh my gosh, I recognize you!

You're Fey Connolly.

I remember seeing you on the news when I first moved here.

Your friend...

Maddie.

Right. Sorry.

I-I didn't mean to...

Look.

I know we just met

and that it was a while ago,

but I also know that pain like that

doesn't just always go away.

So if you ever need someone...

Thanks.

This is dumb.

I don't even know what I'm looking for.

Okay.

Ten thousand.

What?!

Oh no.

Oh no!

Seattle?

You came here from Seattle?

Why?

I like it.

It's peaceful.

Yeah, but Seattle!

The art and the culture.

Ugh. So cool.

I wanna go to New York.

Escape this stupid island.

I even applied to go to college there.

Wait. You mean you don't wanna go to Moriah Community College?

Shock!

Totally thought you rated it.

No, but...I don't know.

I mean, Seattle's great,

but sometimes it's nice to leave everything behind

and start new, you know?

Or is that super weird?

That's not weird at all.

Are you okay?

Fey. Fey!

Fey!

I can't hear you, Maddie!

I can't hear you!

Okay, there you are.

There you are, baby.

Fey, honey, you're okay.

You're okay.

Honey, honey, I'm coming.

Baby, Daddy's here, you're okay.

Where were you?

I was in with the dean,

ensuring her enrollment in this college.

What are you doing here?

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'm right here.

The doctor says my mind is trying to fill in the gaps

from that day.

That the things I see might not be real.

I was ten yards away,

securing our daughter's future!

What if I hadn't been there?

I need to trust that you are gonna put

our daughter and our family first!

But what if they are?

-Dammit! -Frank!

What is wrong with you?

Are you okay?

You will not question my loyalty to this family.

I am not the one that left!

I am not the one that cheated!

Are you sure about that?

Excuse me?

Nothing. Never mind.

Are you accusing me?

You have no idea

the amount of stress that I am under.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

You do a lot for this family.

I am grateful that you gave us a second chance.

I'm grateful for everything that you do for our family.

Doesn't feel like it.

You're breaking my heart, Beth.

What are you doing?

Hey, you!

Your father invited me over for dinner.

I tried knocking, but they didn't answer.

Oh, they're fighting.

Oh. What about?

Oh, I'm sorry, it is none of my business.

I'm sure it'll be okay, though.

They're, like, perfect.

Do you want me to let you in the front?

How 'bout I take you out to dinner instead?

You know, just the two of us?

We could just let 'em fight it out.

You did put it up.

Of course!

You know,

we haven't really had a lot of time together since...

I-I mean, hanging out just the two of us.

Please, can we go get some food?

Something quick.

Sure.

Lemme just go get changed.

Okay.

Anderson. Frank Connolly here.

Sorry I missed you again.

Call me when you get a chance.

Do you know what Anderson wanted?

Huh? No.

He just said to call.

Why? What's wrong?

Nothing.

Everything's fine.

That bird is so loud.

It's very loud.

Birdie!

Come clean out this bird's cage.

Fey!

Fey?

Do you know where Fey is?

No. She's not in her room?

No, she's not.

Okay, have you tried to call her?

Her cell phone is in her room.

Frank, she wouldn't leave her phone.

I know.

I'm going to go look for her.

So, you're out in the woods hunting a lot, right?

Did you ever see a beach with red sand?

-Red sand? -Mm-hm.

Where'd that come from?

I saw a beach with red sand when I had that panic attack.

It's dumb, I know.

I've never seen anywhere that has red sand.

Did you want some wine?

I don't think the waiters will know you're not 21.

Oh, no, my dad would kill me.

Right.

You're dad's a really impressive man, by the way.

He knows.

I mean, your whole family, really.

I think it's really special what they have.

I was thinking, maybe...

we can have that too?

Oh you're...um, you're serious, Curt?

Well, I really like you, Fey!

I was hoping I could talk to your dad

about maybe asking you out on a real date.

Fey?

Fey, are you okay?

Um...

Are you okay?

Yeah!

I mean, um, I'm just...

I'm gonna go to the bathroom, okay?

Fey!

You're okay...you're okay.

Breathe!

Breathe...

Wow, that's disgusting!

Wait--Fey Connolly?

Are you okay?

Can we go? Please?

Why? We were just starting to eat!

Please?

I'm sorry, Fey.

It's not your fault.

I don't know if I said something that upset you, or...

It's fine, Curt.

I promise.

I just need some sleep and I'll be fine.

Do you think...

maybe you feel the same way about me?

Curt, please, I just-- I need to sleep...

Okay, we don't have to talk about it now,

it's just...

But do you?

Please, I really need to know--

I don't.

I think you're a good guy,

and I'm grateful for what you did for me.

But I don't feel that way about you.

No. No, you do.

You like me.

You just don't know it yet.

Inside. Go.

Mom, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be out--

Open the door now!

Beth, it's okay!

Beth, she's not feeling good.

Why was the door locked?

It locks automatically when it's in gear!

I need you to leave right now.

Why?

What did I do?

I'm trying the best I can--

What's going on here, Curt?

We were having a conversation!

I took her out to dinner!

Your daughter is crying.

No, she's not.

She's just sick!

She's got food poisoning or something!

Take Fey inside.

Curt and I are gonna have a little talk.

Fey?

Fey?

Don't!

I don't know what the problem is.

I come here, I see you guys in there fighting.

She's upset.

I'm the one looking after your daughter!

Get in your truck and go home.

We'll talk later.

It won't happen again.

Frank, I don't trust--

It was a big misunderstanding.

They went to dinner,

Fey got sick,

he didn't know that the truck was locked.

He assured me it will not happen again.

I can already tell you have way too much energy

for this time of morning.

You came!

Of course I did.

Although I'm not really sure what we're doing here, though.

This place doesn't even open for, like, another hour.

You know about Maddie, right?

How she died?

I know what I saw on the news.

She killed herself, yeah?

And that's the thing,

I don't think she did.

What do you mean?

This is gonna sound crazy,

but I keep having these panic attacks,

and in them, I see Maddie on a red sand beach.

But the thing is,

Maddie and I never went to a red sand beach,

and everyone says that I'm making it up,

but I think it's here somewhere on Moriah,

and I think Maddie wants me to go there.

So you're breaking into the Historic Society.

They have old maps,

so I'm thinking maybe one of them will show the beach.

You think I'm insane.

Kinda.

But I'm still in.

Just don't get me busted.

Don't worry.

It's like my dad always says.

"We built this island."

So there is no way we're gonna get in trouble.

I think this little criminal belongs to you.

Get up to your room.

Frank, go easy on her.

She's been through a lot.

Joe, I appreciate this.

Thank you.

What were you thinking, Fey?

You know, you're lucky that they're not pressing charges.

I'm sorry, I just need to find the beach.

I don't even want to hear it.

Fey, we have a legacy, a reputation on this island.

Do you understand that?

Ali.

Is this the girl that you were with?

The girl from the college?

Tell her you can't see her anymore.

What?

Dad, no.

She is a bad influence on you.

Tell her.

Breaking in was my idea, not hers.

-I'm not gonna tell her. -Do it now.

I am not arguing with you, young lady.

Really? Fine.

Your cell phone's now my cell phone.

You will not see her again, period.

You know, the boat usually works better in water.

Did Dad tell you?

Yeah.

Maybe not your smartest move.

You gonna sit up there forever?

Just until my acceptance letter from New York comes.

You want to go shopping?

Cool, look at that one, it's vintage.

It's pretty big.

It's likely gonna take up the entire boat.

Well, what about that one.

I think that is for a boat with a mast,

-which we don't have. -Oh.

Hang on, honey.

Wait here. Be right back.

Hey.

Hey you.

Stop.

Hey you.

Hey!

-Hey! -Get your hand off me!

Who are you?

You're not from around here, are you?

Aren't I?

I'm sure there are plenty of people on this island

overlooked by the famous Connollys,

till they're of use to your husband.

You and Frank...

Oh, that was a quick assumption.

Um, maybe the perfect island couple

isn't as perfect as they seem.

-Oh. -Maybe they have secrets.

Relax, darling.

Your little husband couldn't handle me.

Besides, you're the cheater, right?

Why did you come into our office?

Frank owes me.

I intend to collect.

What do you mean Frank owes you?

Shh, honey, not here.

Tell your husband to do the right thing.

You'll never see me again.

It's not like I didn't know.

Everyone knows everything here.

If it were me, I never would have come back.

Fey, I always planned to come back to get you.

What do you mean?

I--I wasn't in a good place.

I thought leaving the island would solve it.

I thought that I could build a better life for us

and bring you with me.

And the guy?

The guy.

That was just a match in a room full of gasoline

building up for a long time.

What happened?

The thing is, running didn't change anything.

Because the island was not the problem,

I was the problem.

I didn't know who I was.

Do you now?

I know I'm your mom.

And I know I am so sorry

that it took what happened to you

to make me realize that.

I'm sorry that I didn't get to know Maddie.

She sounds pretty great.

What is it, love?

It's okay.

The reason I broke into the Historic Society

was to find the beach.

The beach?

With the red sand.

It's real, Mom.

I know it.

And Maddie is trying to tell me something.

Fey, honey, I...

What if she didn't kill herself?

What if something else happened?

There was an investigation.

They looked at all the possibilities.

I'm so sorry, baby, Maddie took her own life.

And it's a really hard thing to understand.

Then why would I see the red sand?

Why would that be in my head?

I have to try, Mom.

Maddie would do it for me.

So let's do it.

Let's go find it.

Okay?

You okay?

We've been walking forever.

We're at the end of the island, Fey.

I mean, do you recognize it?

Okay.

I knew it, I knew it.

This is what I saw!

How do you know about this?

Had you been here with Maddie?

I don't know.

There was--there was a fire pit right there.

-And-- -Fey, how did you know

-about this place? -I don't know.

I saw--I saw it in my mind.

Mom, I told you.

Maddie's trying to tell me something.

Okay, are you sure it's not some sort of coincidence,

maybe you learned about it in school, honey.

No, you're not listening, Mom!

No, baby, I am listening.

I just--there's no sign of a fire here.

There's no sign of anyone being here.

-No, no. -Fey, the tide

is coming in.

We have to go back, but we can come back tomorrow.

Fey!

Fey?

Fey?

Fey! Fey!

There she is.

We--we found the beach.

Fey, look at me.

We found the beach.

You're safe at home, birdie.

I know where I am.

Hey, okay, hey, you're okay.

You're okay.

Beth told us what happened.

Right now I need you to focus on me for a second, okay?

Listen, you had another panic attack.

You took a good knock on the head,

but you're okay.

I need to talk to the sheriff.

Okay.

Mom.

Please.

-Fey. -No!

Fey, you need to rest.

Fey.

I--I just wanna find out what happened to Maddie.

And to me.

Hold up.

Look, we've got the fair coming up

and I need Fey to be there with the family.

What?

Is there anything that you can prescribe,

I don't know, to fix this?

What's wrong with you?

Excuse me?

Your little girl is suffering, Frank.

She needs professional help.

Have you called that psychiatrist?

She is trapped in the most terrifying moment of her life.

Her mind is forcing her to relive it over and over,

and not just the memories, which are so broken

she can't tell what's real and what's not,

but the fear, the pain, all of it.

She's a Connolly.

She's strong.

She's a kid, Frank.

And she's scared.

So stop trying to hide the problem

and fix it.

What were you doing in the woods?

Fey wanted to look for the beach.

So now you're enabling this paranoia?

Beth, why are you doing this?

There was a man's footprint there, Frank.

Somebody else knows about that beach.

Do you hear yourself?

Oh no, a footprint.

That means absolutely nothing.

You sound just as crazy as she does.

We have got to let go of what happened

and move forward.

Our daughter's not gonna heal otherwise.

I am begging you, please, work with me on this.

No, I don't have time for this.

I've gotta go into the office.

-Frank. -I don't.

We'll talk about it later.

Fey, what are you doing here?

I found the red sand.

So you found some beach that you saw

while you were having a panic attack?

I don't understand what you want me to do, Fey.

Go there, investigate.

I don't know.

It has to mean something.

I don't think Maddie killed herself.

Stop.

Maddie was found in the woods, Fey.

Not on the beach.

She had the gun in her hand.

She was my baby girl,

and I don't want to think that she killed herself either.

I know it sounds crazy,

but I really think something else happened.

You said that there was nothing there,

not a sign of anyone.

What do you want me to do?

What is that?

A button from Maddie's jacket from that day.

Maddie's jacket wasn't missing a button.

Did you find it in the woods, near her body?

I think so.

My memory isn't good.

Give me the button, Fey.

Tell me where the beach is.

Hey.

You'll never believe it.

I had a chat with the fair commission today

and they asked me if they could dunk me

in one of those tanks.

Can you imagine?

What are you doing?

It had to be you.

Our CD, remember?

We used to play it all the time when she was a baby.

It helped calm her down.

I was just thinking that maybe that--

It's gone.

I threw it out when you left.

There was a woman who came into the office the other day.

I saw her again yesterday when I was in town with Fey.

-Where is Fey? -In her room.

She said that you owe her, Frank.

I owe her?

Who is this woman?

What do I owe her?

She's probably some client.

She's not a client.

You left your computer open at the office

and when I went to close it,

I saw that there was an outgoing transaction

of $10,000.

Beth, I never leave my computer open.

Even if I did, it locks automatically 10 minutes later.

Did you break into my computer?

-No. -You obviously did.

-Admit it. -No, Frank, I didn't.

So, what, you're accusing me

of having an affair with a woman and then paying her off?

When would I have time to do this?

Think about that, logically.

I spend all of my time fighting,

working for you and for Fey,

and you want to accuse me?

I just didn't know who she was.

I don't know!

Probably some crazy lady.

I need you to remember it was you that cheated on me,

not the other way around.

I am not the villain here.

How could you accuse me?

I do everything for you and for Fey,

for this family.

That ten grand was to stage the hotel.

-Curt! -Hello, sir.

-How you doing today? -Doing well.

How 'bout yourself?

Okay, here you go, so.

Sorry about the delivery.

Beth didn't have time to cook.

Oh, it's not a problem at all.

I mean, who doesn't like pizza?

Beth, I'm...

Birdie, where are you going?

I want to eat in my room.

No, eat at the table like a family.

How are you feeling, baby?

You look better.

Put the bird back in its cage, Fey.

You just told me to sit down.

Fey, do not push me.

It has been a long day for all of us.

Put the bird back.

Why is Curt here every day?

Fey, I am not going to ask you again.

I know he saved my life, but he's here every day.

-It's weird. -Fey!

Put the bird back now.

I'll sneak you some pizza later.

You scared me.

I was just heading to the bathroom.

She's so cute.

She doesn't like that.

So, I tell you I like you

and then you don't want me coming around anymore.

That's--that's not what I meant.

Are you sure?

'Cause it sounded like that's what you meant.

It's not.

You didn't tell your mom that I lied to you, did you?

Well, that's good.

You're gonna like me back.

I promise.

Is Fey in her room?

Well, she should be.

Hey, Fey, you come down for a sec?

Please, have a seat.

What?

Girls, we're a family.

We have to remember that.

We have to have each other's back no matter what.

No matter what we've done,

no matter what we're going through.

We're a team.

And I know that there's been a lot of tension lately.

But that ends right now, okay?

So if there's anything that you want to say, say it.

And we'll have a clean slate moving forward.

I want my phone back.

I knew that was coming.

I trust you.

And I don't want to see Curt anymore.

He gives me the creeps.

What are you talking about?

He saved your life.

I don't care.

Well, your mother and I care.

Right, Beth?

You know, maybe every night is a bit much.

No, that's fair.

I'll have a talk with him.

Is there anything else?

All right.

Let's be better.

We're Connollys.

And I love my girls.

And we love you.

Many of our spaces were donated by community members,

including our study hall, which I'll show you now.

I'm gonna run to the bathroom.

I've heard that ducks are notoriously bad models.

Hey, you're okay.

I was worried when I didn't hear from you.

I'm sorry, my dad took my phone.

Did you get in trouble?

Nah, just a warning.

It's all good though.

So, what are you doing here?

Pre-college summer course tour day.

It's pretty epic stuff.

Yeah, seems epic.

Surprised you could tear yourself away.

They're going to study hall next,

so I'm really missing out on a lot.

I'm thinking of getting some ice cream.

Do you want to join?

But I'm telling you, that guy,

he tried to jump the bridge on a bike or something.

This island, it drives people insane.

That can't be true though.

-Why'd he do it? -I don't know.

My grandpa used to tell me that story.

But it is crazy that the only way

on or off the island closes at like 10 p.m.

It's like we're prisoners or something.

Mm, I like it.

Makes me feel safe.

I mean, think about it this way.

Once the bridge goes up, nothing bad can get to you.

-Here you go. -Oh, wow, thanks!

Ah, no, no.

Your money's no good here.

Just tell your dad I said hello.

Was it really that bad in Seattle?

My stepdad back at home...

...wasn't the best guy.

Did he hurt you?

Yeah.

Me and my mom.

Just got to a really bad place.

I just remember feeling so helpless.

Helpless and scared.

I guess knowing that the island closes at 10

is what makes me feel safe.

I don't know, maybe that's-- maybe that's dumb.

That's not dumb at all.

So, what about you?

Find anything out about the red sand?

Actually, we found the beach.

You found it?

Yeah.

My mom thinks it's nothing.

I even told the sheriff and he's like,

"It's probably nothing."

So I don't know.

Maybe I am crazy.

No, Fey, what are you talking about?

The thing that was in your head actually exists.

I mean, this has to mean something, right?

I'll be right back.

Why aren't you on the tour?

I'm hanging out with my friend.

And the school's one building, so I'll find my way around.

Get in the car, Fey.

Dad, come on.

Fey, get in the car now.

Please.

We just talked about this last night,

about family, about trust.

What am I doing wrong, Beth, huh?

What happened?

That girl is no good for her.

We can't go through this again, we can't.

Frank, listen.

I just don't wanna lose her.

I just need her to make the right decisions.

She acts like I don't see her going to the mailbox every day.

I know about New York, Fey, I know.

Hey.

Look at me, I'm right here.

Beth, it is a bad, terrible world out there.

It's safe here on the island.

We built this village.

My father, his father before him.

Every generation has left their mark,

and it's all for her and she acts like she doesn't want it.

She keeps pushing it away, she keeps pushing me away.

We have to let her be her own person.

She's got to make her own path.

We cannot protect her forever.

But I can.

I may have lost you,

but I'm not gonna lose my little girl.

You didn't lose me.

I am right here.

Go talk to her.

She doesn't listen to me anymore.

Connect with her.

She is still your daughter and she loves you.

I hate this village.

I hate this island.

I hate everything.

I can't do this anymore.

I can't stay here.

This place isn't a hotel painting,

it's a coffin.

And every day they're lowering me

further and further into the ground.

I hate it.

I hate everyone who tells me it'll be okay.

I hate my stupid broken brain.

I hate Maddie for leaving me.

Why can't I just remember?

Why can't...

Birdie.

Please leave.

You know, things seemed so much simpler when you were a kid.

You used to want to hang out with your family.

I know that you've been going through a lot lately.

And I know that you feel alone.

But you're not.

I'm here for you like I always have been.

I always have your best interest at heart.

Do you, Dad?

Or do you have your own reputation at heart?

This island, the family, this perfect image.

Isn't that what really matters?

I heard you ask Dr. Devi for drugs to make me better.

I just want you to be happy.

I'm not though, Dad.

You don't get it.

I'll tell you what.

I'll make you a deal.

Give us, your mom and I, the rest of the day.

Let go of all that bad stuff.

All those bad feelings, all the anxieties.

If you can do that, I'll go with you to the beach,

the one with the red sand.

And we'll figure this out together.

The bowling alley?

You used to love this place.

We'd come here every Sunday when you were a kid, remember?

Coming here or loving it?

You know you get your biting sense of humor

from your old man, right?

You're gonna love it, I promise.

We're in lane 12.

Isn't this great?

Just like you remember it, huh?

Frank, maybe we should wait a bit

before we throw her right back into bowling.

She's fine, okay?

Honey, you're okay.

Just give me one game.

One game.

This used to be your favorite.

Go ahead, try.

Frank.

Frank, honey.

She's fine.

Hey, look at me.

Ignore everything around you, okay?

Breathe.

Look at me.

You're safe, okay?

Daddy's here.

You can let yourself have some fun now, okay?

-Yeah. -All right.

It's okay.

Show me what you got, birdie.

Yes!

That was so good!

Four left.

Good job.

All right.

Why does he do that fake laugh?

Public persona.

That's how your dad works, you know that.

Oh, very hot. Mm-mm.

-Are you okay? -Just a wait a minute.

-Okay. -Mm-hm.

So, I just convinced this place

to cater the summer fair for less than cost.

How good am I, huh?

Is that why we came here?

Birdie, come on, don't be like that.

You had fun today, yeah?

Yeah?

Well, good, 'cause we're gonna be out and about a lot more,

'cause your old man has decided

that he's gonna run for mayor of the island.

-What? -What are you talking

-about? -It's great news, right?

First off, a lot of extra money that we could use,

and plus the Connolly name,

it's already so influential here on the island.

I think this would be great for all of us.

I feel like we should probably discuss this.

We are discussing it right now.

I mean like you and I in a private conversation.

Why can't you just support me?

I am suggesting that we have

-a conversation. -This is good for us.

It's a no-brainer, okay?

I'm not gonna have this conversation with you here,

end of discussion.

Go ahead, eat up.

Frank, what's he doing here?

I don't know.

What are you doing here, Curt?

Just coming over for dinner, but you guys weren't home.

Did you not get my text?

-No. -Stay behind me, baby.

I said that we need to stop having dinners every night

for a little while.

Why?

We just need some family time.

But you said I was family.

And you are,

but you also know what I mean.

With everything that Fey has been--

Ah, you owe me, Frank.

Go home, Curt.

Now.

But the news said

you and Maddie were just friends.

Are you saying you guys were partners?

Yeah, we've been dating about a year.

Even though my dad hated it.

He has these ideas about what a relationship should be.

Anyway, we were stressed.

It was just like small island stuff and whatever,

and we came to these woods to reconnect.

And we ended up getting in a huge fight

about everything, my family, our future.

She wanted me to leave with her.

No plan, no place to live.

And I told her I couldn't do that,

and she just walked away.

I heard the gunshot,

and by the time I found her, I was too late.

And I couldn't believe it,

because I didn't think Maddie would ever hurt herself.

And I was lost and scared and, you know, like I fell

and I hit my head,

and I was down there for two days

and this guy Curt, he found me,

and he was hunting and he saved me,

he saved my life.

Yeah, I remember him from the news, too.

I just--I don't know

how the beach fits into all of it.

We'll figure it out.

Together, okay?

So, where is this beach?

It's over there.

There's nothing!

I don't know, maybe I did just make it up.

Maybe it's in my stupid, broken brain.

You know, the red sand's actually kinda cool.

I've never seen red sand before.

I wonder what makes it red.

That's it!

Sand.

Okay, so red sand comes from iron-rich minerals.

So there must be iron mines on the island, right?

Right.

So we can find out who knows about the mines,

then we can find out who knows about the secret beach.

Exactly.

But my dad's gonna be home from work soon, so I--

Don't worry about it.

Just send it to me, I'll do some digging,

and I'll text you later, yeah?

Breathe.

It sucks being in a cage, huh?

It's not so great out here either.

Growing up on this dumb island was hard.

Or lonely, I guess.

Maddie loved me.

I really miss her.

We were supposed to go to college in New York together

and escape this dumb island.

But now she's gone

and I'm still stuck here.

You don't have anybody, though.

Do you think, if I open this cage,

you'd be happy?

Or have you been stuck in there so long,

you wouldn't know how to survive without it?

Hey, honey!

What are you doing?

I thought I saw headlights.

Okay, I'm gonna look, you go back inside.

-Okay. -And go to bed.

Okay.

Frank!

What are you doing, Beth?

What is she doing here?

I knew it! I knew it!

Calm down.

No, you lied to me.

Calm down!

Go inside, now.

We are done.

Leave.

Let's talk about this tomorrow.

We'll talk about this right now.

Beth, why are you embarrassing yourself?

What are you even upset about, huh?

You still think that I'm cheating on you?

And what if I was?

Would it even matter?

It's not like you care about me.

You haven't loved me for a long time now.

When Beth left the family,

I--I wasn't thinking clearly.

And I made some less than optimal

financial decisions.

I took out a loan to cover our family.

And then the Anderson deal didn't go through,

and that wasn't my fault.

There was a restructuring of their focus

or a change in management regardless.

I was counting on that deal to pay back this loan.

The woman that you saw last night,

she's a--well, she's a loan shark.

She was here to collect.

-Birdie, I-- -You lied to us.

No, Birdie, I didn't lie.

Yeah, you lied to us.

You got mad at me because I made a friend

that you didn't think was good enough?

And you owe money to the mob.

Were you ever gonna take me to the beach, Dad?

Or was that just another lie?

Of course I was going--

Birdie, hey, Fey.

Fey!

Just so you know, it's all paid off,

so you won't be seeing her again.

I promise.

There anything that you want to say?

If you're gonna run for office,

you might want to work on your tell.

Hey, do you know Ali Preet?

Have you seen her?

She's a freshman art student.

Okay, thanks.

Ali?

Curt?

Fey?

-What are you doing here? -What are you doing here?

How do you know about this place?

Fey, you need to listen--

-Don't touch me! -You need to listen to me.

It's okay.

-Fey? -You were there.

-You were there. -No. Fey.

Get off of me!

Maddie!

Please.

You killed Maddie!

No, you don't know what you're talking about.

And you kidnapped me!

Fey, stop it.

-You killed Maddie! -Fey, stop it!

Why did you kill her?

I said stop it!

Now, shut up!

Run!

Fey, come on!

You've gotta keep moving!

Fey!

Your face!

Fey!

Help!

Somebody, please! Help!

What happened?

Fey? You're okay, honey.

I didn't know, I didn't know.

I didn't know, I didn't know.

Fey!

I've got you, honey.

I didn't know.

I got you.

You're okay.

I didn't know, I didn't know.

Hey, hey, hey, you're okay.

Curt killed Maddie.

He killed Maddie!

He killed Maddie.

Baby, the police report--

No, he lied!

He lied!

He killed Maddie!

And he kept me on that beach.

And I remember!

I remember.

And he told me that she killed herself

and he told me that I hit my head,

and he lied!

He lied!

What you did for Fey...

Thank you.

She's asleep.

Someone attacked Ali,

told her to stay away from Fey.

Did Curt do this to you?

Wait, hold on.

She doesn't even know Curt.

She can't say for sure if it was him or not.

But you think it was the same person

who attacked Fey.

Yeah, I think so.

I'm calling the sheriff.

Hold on.

Let's think about this, Beth.

Look, I'll talk to Curt.

-Frank. -No, Beth,

let me talk to him.

Okay, he will tell me the truth.

If he did this, then we'll go to the sheriff.

Beth, we've got to give him the benefit of the doubt.

You'll talk to him tonight, Frank.

I will.

I'll take you home, Ali.

I'll stop by Curt's on my way back.

You stay with Fey, okay?

Yup.

Are you sure?

Okay, yeah.

Of course I will.

I don't know, not that he's told me.

Sure!

Yes, please.

Okay.

Thank you, Dr. Devi.

Yeah, you too.

Fey?

Shh, Fey.

Honey, it's me.

Shh, baby, you're just having a dream.

Shh.

I promise everything's gonna be okay.

Baby, I just need to move my arm for a second.

Okay, okay.

Shh.

Frank, I need you to call me back.

I just looked up Curt online,

and the woman who you repaid your loan to,

it's his mom.

Frank, it's his mom, he is--

Shh.

Mom?

Yeah, it's okay.

I'm just gonna-- you stay right here, okay?

Be right back.

Beth? Let me in, please--

Go upstairs, get in your room.

Get in your room!

I can hear you breathing, Beth!

Come on!

Just open the door, please!

Open the door!

I need to talk to her!

Beth!

Open the door, please!

Beth!

I can't do that!

Oh, please, Beth, please!

Please, stop, please, stop!

Please stop.

Fey! Fey!

Get away from her.

I said, get away from her.

No, I am not leaving her!

You're scaring her, Curt, please.

Please, please, please, put the gun down.

Put the gun down.

I didn't mean to do it.

I didn't mean to fall in love with you.

He told me to kill her, but...

What?

What?

It's okay.

It's okay.

I could change your mind!

I could convince you that it was a dream,

just like I did at the beach.

You said he told you to kill her.

Do you mean Maddie?

Who told you to kill Maddie, Curt?

Come on, Beth.

It was Frank.

Frank said it'd be okay.

Stop talking.

Frank?

Put the gun down, Curt.

Frank, what did you do?

This is my family, you will put that gun down now.

Frank, answer me!

Nothing, okay?

He's crazy, he's probably on drugs or something.

And he doesn't know what he's talking about.

I'm sorry, Frank.

I know you told me not to tell anyone, but--

Shut up, Curt.

Frank. Did you kill Maddie?

No. Of course I didn't.

I ju--I just told him to scare her.

To threaten her so that she would break up with Fey,

but that's it, I promise.

That's all that I did.

And his mom?

I tried not to tell her.

But it was too hard, man.

Stop talking, Curt.

Mom came over from the mainland.

She told Frank that he had to give us more money

or else she'd tell everyone what he did.

Beth, he is lying.

Every word he is saying is a lie.

That hotel deal, that was to pay off Curt's mom,

not some loan shark!

She was blackmailing you!

You don't know what you are talking about, Beth.

I'm sorry I brought you into this, Fey.

I didn't mean to fall in love with you.

Things just happened out there.

What did you say?

What happened, Curt?

Nobody is leaving until I get some answers.

What happened on the beach, Curt?

Huh?

On the beach.

Huh?

You said you fell in love?

What did you do, Curt?

What did you do to my daughter?

I'm sorry.

I couldn't help it.

Hey!

Fey! Fey, no!

Fey!

Fey! Honey, hurry!

Honey, hurry!

Fey, hurry, go, go, go!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Mom,

it's after 10, the bridge is closed!

We're trapped!

Okay, the boat, the boat!

Okay, okay, okay, okay!

Get the hitch, honey!

Mom.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

We're safe now, okay?

We're safe.

Okay, baby, hop on.

Okay, get your life jacket.

What?

Don't forget, we got that new compass,

you're gonna use it.

Mom, you have to come, you have to come!

I can't, baby.

I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what's going on!

I'm scared!

I know, but you are so strong

and you're so brave.

I know you'll be okay, you'll be okay.

I am so proud of you.

I'm so proud of the person that you are.

And listen to me,

you love whoever it is you want to love,

and know that your mom always supports you, always!

Mom, you have--please come.

I will, honey.

I will, but first, I need to make sure

that your dad can never hurt anybody again.

I need to find proof of what he did.

It's the only way to make sure that you'll be safe!

I am so sorry that I wasn't there for you before.

I'm so sorry I left you.

But it's all gonna be okay now.

I love you so much, Fey.

I love you too, Mom!

Mom!

All I did was love you.

I gave you chance after chance!

I just wanted us to be a family.

Frank!

Let go, you're hurting me!

Everything I did was for us.

For our future!

Frank!

What you did isn't love!

This is cowardice!

This is hate and fear!

I'm about to show you fear.

You betrayed me!

I gave you chance after chance,

and this is how you repay me?

Let go!

I was not gonna let that girl ruin my family like you did!

I have a reputation on this island,

and I will not let you or anyone else ruin it!

Why?

Birdie, I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

But I didn't hurt Maddie.

That was Curt.

It wasn't Daddy.

Look.

I just love you so much,

and I couldn't let that girl--

I couldn't let her ruin your future.

You're a Connolly.

A Connolly.

And that means something.

Well, then I don't want to be a Connolly anymore!

Fey.

You will not speak to me like that.

Drop the stick, Frank.

Joe, thank goodness.

Look, they attacked me.

I said, drop the stick.

You can't be serious.

You think I'm in the wrong here?

You know me!

What I know is that the button that Fey found

belongs to a dead man's jacket in your house.

I bet those boots match the footprints

from Beth's text.

Only when I went to the beach,

they weren't there anymore.

What'd you do, Frank?

You went back to the beach?

Get rid of the evidence?

No, Joe.

You took my daughter from me.

Get on your knees.

Get down on your knees!

Joe.

It wasn't me, I didn't hurt Maddie.

She was my baby girl.

You're going away.

I am a powerful man on this island, Joe.

Do you hear me?

You are making a huge mistake!

Consider yourself lucky for the safety of prison.

Are you okay?

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

You two okay?

How'd you know?

Got a call from Ali Preet.

She was concerned when Frank gave her a ride home.

Went to your place, found Curt.

I traced Frank's phone, and it led me here.

Thank you, Joe.

You sure you're okay?

We will be.

We're just gonna need a trip to New York.
