Harper's Island (2009): Season 1, Episode 13 - Sigh - full transcript

My name is Abby Mills,

and I've come home
to Harper's Island.

My best friend was supposed to
Marry the girl of his dreams,

but something terrible
has happened.

People are being killed...

...and John Wakefield is alive.

And his intent is killing us all.

There are only
a handful of us left.

We don't know who to trust
or where to turn,

but we have to stick together
and fight back

if we don't want to die.



Previously on Harper's Island:

My mom loved my dad.

She stole from me,

threw away my child.

How do you even know
she had your child?

Because I found him.

I found a boathouse.

There's a radio.

Mayday, Mayday.

This is Harper's Island
requesting

immediate assistance.
Over.

This is U.S. Coast Guard.

Give us your location.

Over.



You saved us.

Henry, Wakefield escaped.

We have to go.

I know; I gave
him the key.

Sully was right.

Wakefield has an accomplice;
it's just not Jimmy.

Hey, Dad.

Come on,
I'll take good care of it.

But you're not
going to use it.

Want to bet?

I'm going to practice so much,
when you get back next summer,

I'm going to totally
kick your butt.

Abby, don't say "butt,"

and it's not polite to brag.

Okay, Dad.

But I will kick it.

I think your folks are here,
Henry.

Come in, it's open.

Hey, JD.

Well...

Well, you guys are
off early this year.

Yeah, well, Karen's
ready to get back.

Well, we got to get these
two ready for school.

Summers seem to go
faster every year.

Hey.

Have a safe trip.

Come on, Henry,
we can't miss the ferry.

Okay, Dad, just a second.

I've been thinking
maybe we should take

a little trip
ourselves.

The real trick is getting
Sarah to come with us.

Something about
this place...

Come on.

Henry Dunn.

Your dad's going
to be so mad.

It's okay.

I don't want you to go either.

Yeah, I just wish I lived here
all the time like you, Abby.

I mean, you don't know
what it's like.

Tacoma is so...

Boring?

It's just not here.

Me, too.

Henry James Dunn,
get over here now.

See you next summer.

You cared for her.

She was harder than the others.

She served her purpose.

Nothing else matters.

I know.

Danny put up
much of a fight?

He didn't embarrass himself.

Trish's sister and the girl
got away.

Henry!

Trish!

Coast Guard's on their way.

We only have a couple of hours.

Shea?

What are you doing?

John Wakefield escaped.

What?

How?

I don't know,
we just...

we think someone's
helping him.

Yeah, Jimmy.

It's got to be.

No... no, he's with Abby.

They sent us here
to find you.

Okay, so what about the others?

Where's Danny?

He helped us escape.

He was fighting Wakefield.

No. Oh, son of a bi...!

Damn it!

Hey,

whoever's out there,
come in.

This is Harper's Island.
Over.

This is Coast Guard dispatch.

Go ahead, Harper's Island.

Yeah, the guy we captured--
Wakefield-- he's out.

You hear me?
He's escaped.

We need everything you got
and we need it right now.

How close
are you guys?

Did you get that?

Come in.

Copy that, Harper's Island.

We're still
fighting weather here.

Chopper's waiting for clearance.

We're getting off this island.

Henry!

Trish!

Abby, I want to
find them, too,

but calling out is only
going to draw Wakefield.

I know.

Henry would do it for us.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Now is your time.

Everything that we planned.

You know
what you have to do.

I have to kill Abby.

What are you doing?
Just keep heading east.

No, no, no, you have
to come with us.

Not with Wakefield
still out there.

Then we all stay.

I mean, what
about Trish?

I can't just
leave her here.

Your priority is to get your
little girl off this island.

Now, Shea,
crank that sucker.

Thank you...
and tell Trish that I...

I will.

Now go.

Henry!

Maybe he went back
to the boathouse.

He knew Sully was there.

No, he wouldn't
just leave Trish.

Trish is dead,

just like we're going to be
if we don't get out of here.

We have no weapons.

We're sitting ducks.

Let's just go back to
the boathouse, please.

Come on.

This is Harper's Island.

Come in, Coast Guard.

This is San Juan Sector 324.

Go ahead, Harper's Island.

Yeah, I think
I talked to you before.

This is Chris Sullivan.

That's correct, Chris.

Over.

Yeah, well, listen,

there is a small boat
coming your way, heading east.

Shea Allen and her daughter
Madison are on it.

You guys got to pick 'em up.

Roger that, Chris.

Small craft with two people

heading east
off of Harper's Island.

Over.

Yeah, roger, whatever.

When the hell are
you guys getting here?

I'll get back to you
in a second with an ETA.

Over.

Yeah, thanks.

Take your time.

Henry.

Damn it.

You scared the hell out of me.

Man, am I glad
to see you.

Did I hear right?

Shea and Madison got
off the island?
Yeah.

Look, Wakefield escaped.

I had to make sure
they were safe.

Wait, what?

Why didn't you go with 'em?

And abandon you?

I... I'm impressed.

Seriously.

That is quite possibly
the stupidest thing

you've ever done.

This is San Juan Sector 324.

Are you there, Chris?

Over.

Yeah, I'm here
with Henry Dunn.

A Coast Guard chopper
should be there in 45.

Cutter's on its way, too.
Over.

Okay, 45.

We got it.

Roger that, Chris.

The chopper will set down
at the marina.

Can you and Henry get there?
Over.

The marina.

Yeah, you got it.

Hang in there, Chris.

We're on our way.

Over.

Hey, thanks, man.

I appreciate it.

Okay, what about Trish?

She's somewhere in the woods;
we got separated.

You really think Danny's gone?

He was fighting Wakefield, so...

Okay, okay, first Trish,

then we find
Abby and Jimmy.

Okay.

Trish!

Trish!

Hey, you sure this
is the way she ran?

Just doesn't feel like we're
close to the Candlewick.

You know what I don't get?

How Wakefield escaped
from that jail cell.

He must have had help.

Yeah, but who?

One of us, had to be.

Well, Jimmy wasn't
anywhere near the jail

and he's the only
one I can buy.

What about Wakefield's kid?

He could've done it.

Then, he's a ghost.

'Cause there is no way in hell
this guy slipped past us.

I locked Wakefield up.

I could've slipped him the key.

Okay.

For argument's sake,

let's say this
psycho has a son.

Are you saying he's a whack job
like his old man?

Maybe he's just really pissed.

Guy's got a lot
to be pissed about.

No, we have a lot
to be pissed about.

But if his mom abandoned him...

gave him up for adoption,

let him be raised
by some loser family

who never bothered telling him
he wasn't theirs.

Life's hard. Grow a pair.

I know I'd be pissed.

He was lied to
his whole life.

If my real dad showed up,
told me the truth,

set me free,
hell, I'd be grateful.

I'd want to help him
get revenge.

Dude.

You're creeping me out.

You're right.

Sorry.

Trish!

Hey.

Well, where the hell
are they?

The boat's gone.

Well... maybe
they're safe.

Maybe they're going to make it.

Coast Guard, this
is Harper's Island. Come in.

So we can signal them.

This is San Juan Sector 324.
Over.

This is Jimmy Mance
and Abby Mills.

Where the hell are you guys?

Chopper's on its way.

Less than 40 minutes out.

You need to meet your friends
at the rally point. Over.

Friends?

Chris Sullivan and Henry Dunn.

They were instructed
to go to the marina.

Oh, God.

They're alive.

Why don't we just head
to the sheriff's station?

Trish went there
looking for Danny.

Danny's dead.

You don't know that.

So is Trish.

I killed her.

Hey, shut up, man.

Seriously, just shut up.

I killed my brother, too.

At the marina.

In the rain. Remember?

Abby almost caught me.

Okay, what are you doing, Henry?
I don't...

Coming clean.

It's time
to start a new life.

You're my friend.

You deserve to know before I...

Well, look, it's not like
I killed them all.

My dad did a lot.

Your dad is dead.
I went to his funeral.

Oh, no, man, not that guy.

Not that liar.

My real dad, John Wakefield.

He's the only person
who's told me the truth.

No.

Y-y-you've been my best friend
since junior high.

Yeah.

Oh, come on.

Henry, don't.

Sully.

Don't make me shoot you.

I decapitated Reverend Fain.

I harpooned Richard Allen.

Stop it!

I even stabbed Katherine
in the Candlewick

while everyone
was running around

looking for Madison.

Pretty exciting stuff.

Do you want me to kill you?

Hey, here's something funny.

Do you remember
that money we found?

It was Uncle Marty's.

He wanted to invest
in Malcolm's brewery,

be the big hero,
save the day.

I wanted Malcolm
to find the cash,

see what would happen.

He made good beer, didn't he?

You son of a bitch.

Sorry.

Hey, Dad.

John Wakefield's
right behind you.

How stupid do you think I am?

Pretty stupid.

You never should've
dogged Trish.

Time to ring the bell.

This way.

Henry.

Whoa, whoa.
Oh.

I just saw
Wakefield.

He can't be far.

We just came
from the boathouse.

Where's Sully
and the others?

I haven't seen them.

I've been looking for Trish.

Have you seen her?

Henry...

Trish is dead.

Where?

She was right here.

She was right here,
right?

Maybe she's still alive.

Wounded.

We have to find her.

Trish!

Henry, Henry,
we checked.

She was
definitely gone.

Don't you tell
me she's gone.

-Don't tell me she's gone, Jimmy!
-Henry, Henry.

It's true.

You might not want to hear it,
but Jimmy's telling the truth.

I have to find her.

Henry!

Harper's Island,
this is San Juan Sector 324.

The chopper
is approaching the rally point.

20 minutes out. Over.

Doesn't it seem
weird to you

Henry wasn't
with Trish?

You heard him--
he's been looking

for her.

They must have
gotten separated.

I'd never leave you
alone like that.

I'm so sorry.

No, no.

Abby, get out
of here!

Henry, wait!

Henry, now!

I don't have a shot.

Coast Guard.
Has to be.

Abby, signal for help!

Go!

Henry!

She's getting away!

Now finish it.

Abby!

Where's Jimmy?

Wakefield got him.

I'm so sorry.

Do you know where we're
supposed to meet them?

Chris Sullivan and Henry Dunn.

They were instructed
to go to the marina.

The marina.

But the guy on
the radio said...

he talked with you and Sully.

Where's Sully and the others?

I haven't seen them.
I've been looking for Trish.

You said you hadn't seen Sully.

I haven't.

Abby...

What's wrong?

It's okay.

It's over.

Henry...

Not her.

Henry.

No...

Abby...

The way he looked at you.

Abby...

It's you.

He's dead.

I finished it.

No, not you, Henry.

Oh, God!

Mrs. Allen, I'm sorry to
have kept you waiting.

Did you find
anyone else?

Mrs. Allen,
would you mind

if Agent Perez borrowed
Madison for a few minutes?

I'll be right out, honey.

He's going to tell you
everyone else is dead.

Isn't he?

Madison.

What about my sister?

We believe Wakefield
intentionally

burnt the
church down.

You're saying that Trish was...

I'm so sorry.

Your sister and Henry
Dunn died in the church.

Traces of blood and bone
indicate that several others

also perished
in the fire.

We've completed our
search of the island,

and we found
over 20 bodies.

We've been able to ID
most of them, but...

Wakefield... John Wakefield.

We found his body in
the foyer of the church.

It appears he failed to escape
after setting the fire.

You're sure it was him?

Yes, ma'am.

He was badly burned,
but it was him.

John Wakefield is dead.

My deepest
condolences.

Other than a handful of locals,

you and your daughter
are the only survivors

of Harper's Island.

Hey, there.

Didn't think
I'd be this nervous.

Y-You want something to eat?

No.

It's okay.

I'll explain everything.

What did you do?

I chose you.

Over him.

Wakefield's your father?

No more secrets, Abby.

You stay away from me.

Abby, there's nowhere to go.

I-I'm not going to hurt you.

Abby.

I'm sorry it's worked out like
this, but it's going to be okay.

It's still me.

And I can wait.

We have all the
time in the world.

Just like you wanted.

Remember...

when we were kids how we used
to hate that I had to leave?

I don't want you
to go either.

But you'll be back
next summer, right?

Yeah.

Do you remember
what you said to me?

I wish you could live here

with me forever,

just the two of us.

Now we can.

You and me.

Alone.

No.

Abby.

Just come downstairs
when you're ready.

Abby?

I'm coming up.

We were kids.

Don't blame me
for what you've done.

Hey.

You're sick.

You need help.

You were going to marry Trish.

The wedding was the only way
I could think of

to get you back to the island.

Everyone's dead.

They had to go.

They were in our way.

Wakefield killed my mom and dad.

She was your mom, too.

She threw me away.

You're my brother.

I can do the math.

Abby, it doesn't matter.

No one else knows.

Hell, the Dunns never told me.

You know how that felt?
I don't care how that felt.

All right, all right,
you need to know this now.

I want to tell you everything--

how I learned
the truth.

I met Wakefield
the day of the rampage.

I didn't know
he was my father then.

But when I looked at him...

...there was a connection.

Connection?

With the man who hung my mother
from a tree?

Kind of weird, huh?

I was inspired by the guy that
everyone else feared and hated.

Abby, you don't
need that.

You knew Wakefield was alive
all these years?

That my dad hadn't killed him?

Yeah.

How?

About a year after the rampage,
he tracked me down.

He told me I was his son,

that he'd been searching
his whole life for me.

Do you know
how powerful that is--

that kind of love?

This feels great.

We should have had this talk
a long time ago.

No, the Henry I know
isn't a killer.

I've always had
certain impulses.

I just didn't understand them
until I met my dad.

The sheriff was right

about Wakefield
being at those murder scenes

in Seattle and Tacoma.

He just wasn't
the one doing the killing.

It's harder
than you think.

You couldn't do it.

You couldn't shoot Wakefield.

It takes practice.

I've known you my whole life.

Abby, it's all over.

It's done; I'm done killing.

I am not my dad.

He thought you had to destroy
the one you love to be complete.

He wanted you to kill me.

But I could never do that.

I could never do that.

That's how I'm different
from him.

He chose death.

I choose life with you.

I love you.

No!

Abby!

Jimmy.

You weren't supposed
to find him.

Let him go.

My dad wanted to kill
him a long time ago,

but I wouldn't let him.

You used Jimmy.

Every time
he showed up,

it made him look more guilty.

You and Sully were ready
to blow his head off.

You should be thanking me.

Stop lying, Henry.

Why is he alive?

He's not.

None of us are.

As far as the world
is concerned,

we all burned to
death in a fire.

What did you do?

Provided closure.

The police will find
blood samples

to support our deaths,

and no one will come
looking for us.

They'll find my father's body
in the fire as well,

and the legend of John Wakefield

will grow, and he'll
be remembered...
Why is Jimmy alive?

No more secrets, remember?

Shea and Madison
got off the island.

Wasn't part
of the plan.

They know that somebody let
Wakefield out of his jail cell.

You're setting Jimmy up
as Wakefield's accomplice?

I'm doing it for you.

For us.

So that no one
will come looking for us.

So that we can live
our lives together.

Jimmy will sign a confession.

No, he'll never do it. No.
Yes, he will.

Yes, he will.

Now that he's seen you.

He'll do it for you.

And then, what?

Then, you'll kill him?

Look, Abby, I've had to make

a lot of hard choices
for us to be here.

He's the last one.

I swear.

No...
Oh, God!

Oh, God!

I know this is
hard on you,

but we've both had
to make sacrifices.

It's going to be fine.

Oh, God.

I just want things
to be the way they were.

Before all of this.

They will be.

Jimmy agreed to sign
a full confession.

It's all working out,
just like I promised.

But he won't sign it unless
I let him say good-bye to you.

I can't.

You have to.

I'll wait for you downstairs.

Ooh, careful.

Let me get
the door.

Say good-bye.

Abby.

I'm sorry I left.

I thought about calling
every day.

That's enough.

I love him.

Oh, I shouldn't have done that.

Uh... come on, let's go.

Get the hell away from her!

Abby!

Abby!

Abby!

Stop! Would you...?

If anyone else

is on the island,
they're miles away!

Abby! Wait!

Abby!

Abby, stop.

I didn't want it
to be like this.

I know what you did.

You told Jimmy
you'd kill me

if he didn't sign
a confession.

Abby, I could never hurt you.

Everything that I've done,
I did for us.

I'd die without you.

Is that why you have
that boarding knife?

There.

Now do you believe me?

You and this island are my home.

You're the only thing
that makes sense to me.

None of this makes sense.

You destroyed
everything I ever loved.

No, but you have me!

I don't want you!

Jimmy.

Jimmy, are you okay?

No.

Abby?

But...

I love you.

Henry bear, baby face,

I love you
and can't wait to marry you

and spend the rest
of my life with you.

Cheers.

Henry, Trish...

whatever, you guys are getting
married-- that's great.

Have you seen these bridesmaids?

I am going to get
so much action at this wedding.

Henry, Trish, congratulations.

I'm so happy for you.

You know, I haven't had
a girlfriend in a while, but...

I hope maybe soon
to turn that corner

and settle down and make
a commitment like you have.

Henry, I'm-I'm proud
of you, man.

Trish, Henry, congratulations.

You guys look great together.

Not-not as good as probably...
Trish and I.

Hey, um, congratulations,
Trish, Henry.

I'm really happy you guys
are getting married.

Not... not real great thing that
you had it on a boat, Henry.

You know, I don't handle
this kind of thing real well.

Trish, you are so lucky!

Henry's so hot.

You got to him before I did.

I'm so pissed.

I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.

I'm not going to hit
on your husband, but, um,

have such a great life together.

I'm so happy for you.

Trish and Henry, I just wanted
to say congratulations.

I'm... I'm terribly excited
for you and...

excited to be here and very
grateful that you let me come.

Um, I wish your wedding and-and
all of that, um, just the best,

and I hope it lasts
a very long time.

Okay.

Uh, Henry and
Trish, I, uh... I hate cameras,

so I'm going to keep this
really brief.

Um, everything
I have to say to you

I've put in a little poem,
which I will give to you later.

And, um... yeah.

You guys are great.

That's it.

Hey, babe.

You're probably sick
of hearing it, but...

I love you.

And I'm going to treat
every moment with you

as if it were my last.

Let's get married, huh?

I'll see you there.
