How many does it eat?
- One a week.
In the wild they fend for themselves.
They're loners like us.
- What if you forget to feed it?
- It's a snake.
Gets hungry, finds a way out.
Who's seen this?
- Just us. Hunters called it in.
- Is she a local?
- We think we know her, the one leg and all.
Checking an address in town.
- What is that on her head?
- Not a clue.
Never seen anything like it.
- Her underwear is still on.
I don't see any bruising.
Doesn't look like rape to me.
Something about the way she's laid out.
Do you hunt?
- No.
- My dad and I would use a poly tarp
to skin a deer in the woods just like this.
Is this a common hunting spot?
- No.
Guess our boys strayed off course.
- Hey there, boys.
So, what'd you see?
- I, I don't know.
Something ran off.
- Something.
A deer, man, big foot, what?
- I don't know. Man?
- All right, you guys hang tight.
- Come a long way for this one, detective.
- Lot of people go missing out here.
- People go missing everywhere.
- 34 girls in the last 10 years.
That's a lot.
- Well we're glad you're here.
All right boys.
You heard the lady.
- Hey Will!
Hey!
How you doing?
- I'm alright.
- You haven't, um, talked to Sarah recently, have you?
- No.
- Oh. The police came by, asked for her file.
So it got me thinking about when you-
- Why do they want it?
- Sarah's not with us anymore.
Hasn't been at the hospital for over a year.
She never came to see you?
- No.
- Well when was the last time you spoke?
- Uh, it's been awhile. She's out now.
- Well, she had a roommate.
She's got a place.
I just, wanted to see if she was all right.
- I don't know.
Maybe you should ask her roommate.
- Police found her roommate's body this morning.
- 23, substance abuse, attempted suicide.
One leg.
- How'd she lose the leg?
- No idea.
Got out of Woodbridge a year ago,
got a roommate, after that, nothing.
- Woodbridge Mental Health Facility.
How many patients does Woodbridge put out?
- Ah, 50? 100?
Indians round here got a lot of problems.
- Calling them Indians, does that work for you, or?
- I know chiefs that still call themselves Indians.
Natives, First Nations, Indigenous, whatever.
Look, 9 times out of 10, the boyfriend's not to blame.
The family's not around. Case like this just goes away.
We do what we can.
But if there's not even a trail to go dry, what then?
Monday morning, I got people coming at me.
Who stole my compressor,
who kicked the side mirrors off my car?
- What connects these women? Poverty?
- Yeah.
- Addiction?
- Sure.
- Abuse? Trauma?
- And more.
- The injured become easy prey for a predator.
Does an amputated leg make you weak?
- Is that a trick question?
- Wolf chasing a pack of deer takes down the sick.
Feed on the weak and the herd gets stronger.
These women had nobody.
The roommate is our best lead.
We have to find her.
- Where are you?
- Hey!
It's not gonna get you anywhere.
You gotta leave the door open.
He'll come around. Eventually.
Try patience.
- Stop right there.
Don't move.
Who are you and what are you doing here?
- I'm nobody. I'm just gonna leave.
- Final warning.
- Now I've met the brother.
- Yeah, Will Brook. I told you.
- You said he didn't live here.
- He doesn't.
Lives on a fishing boat.
He can't come into town,
every time he does, the Indians kick his ass.
His family's got a history here.
- Oh you think?
Sister saw the parents murdered at 7,
institutionalized ever since
claimed a monster did it.
She's got a dissociative weirdo brother
living on a boat and you don't say anything.
- There's no need.
He's a good kid. Just leave him alone.
- Wanna tell me what this is?
- Be careful, it's sharp.
- Could have told me who you were,
saved yourself all this.
What do you want?
- To find my sister.
- Is that it?
Did you know her roommate?
- Didn't know she had a roommate.
- Did you know anyone else at the hospital?
William.
- Only my sister calls me that.
- So what do I call you then?
If I let you go,
can you promise me not to go kicking down doors again?
- I need to know where she is.
- Then what are you gonna do?
- I don't know, ask around.
- We're papering the town.
We're asking everybody.
- Good luck with that.
- Listen, I need you to stay put in that boat.
Can you do that for me?
I can lock you up if I want.
- Go ahead.
But I'm not stopping until I know she's safe.
- His parents were a pain in the ass too.
They made deals with the Indians trying to buy a town.
- A town?
- Ocean Falls.
Abandoned in the 60s, they got these investors,
tried to bring it back to life,
had a fish processing plant,
a hotel, housing, even a church.
But they were,
shady.
Schemers.
Business started real good and then one day,
kids found em dead.
- They saw it?
- Will's testimony put a chief away.
He did one good thing.
- I'm starting to see it.
Brother lives on a boat, sister's in the nut house.
But he's good because he knows where she is.
- But now she's out.
- And guilt,
is a bitch.
- Showing his face around town is playing with fire.
He's gotta get his ass back on that boat.
Where you going?
- Gonna go see if you're right.
- How's it going?
- Good.
You?
- Hey! Hey!
Move it.
What are you doing, huh?
- I'll be seeing ya.
- Get out of here.
I think we need to talk.
Chief Dan Ray passed away in prison.
Alone.
Without his family.
Without his people around.
For what?
Soul of a ghost town.
Did you ever think about going back?
Sister wanted to talk.
Why don't you?
- What do you know about my sister?
- Nothing.
- Do you know where she is?
- No.
- So you know nothing.
- Do you ever go back?
- Never going back there.
- When you're ready to talk, you know where to find me.
What do you see when you close your eyes, Will?
The next time they come,
I won't be there.
- What is wrong with this place?
- How you doing?
- Rocking place.
So what's the deal?
It's Friday night.
This place is dead.
Except for Peggy Sue over there.
- So where are the cool kids at?
Cuz no offence Gary, but it ain't here.
- Name's Sam.
- So where are they?
- Have you seen this girl?
Has she been around here?
- This, is for my grandfather.
- You having fun?
Who is this?
- He's nobody.
- Want me to take him in?
- We were just,
we were just talking.
- If you were just talking,
are you all done talking now or?
- We done?
- Yeah we're done.
- What am I supposed to do with you?
- Roommate had no family.
Kept to herself.
Sarah's room's right through here.
- Where the black narrows empty,
the shelter bay where a supernatural killer lived.
- Anything?
- No.
- Take your time.
- No, I'm good.
Can I take this?
- Sure.
- Why wouldn't she tell me she was out?
- If you happen to see anyone, even her age group or,
if you can help in any way,
would you reach out to us? Would that be alright?
- Absolutely.
- There's just a bunch of crazy fishermen down here.
That's about it.
- What about pretty young girls?
They come walking around these docks often?
- If they were here I'd notice.
- Do you ever employ any teenagers,
or people out of school?
- Ah, not really.
- Not really?
So if I was looking for a 21 year old female, looking for?
- Pretty uncommon down here.
- Do they rent these trailers out to anyone?
- No.
- You know everybody kind of around here?
- Yeah.
- Could you, not step on my hose please?
- Thanks. Yeah.
- Know anybody her age, might be friends with her?
- No, definitely not.
- Sisters, you got sisters,
brothers that might know her, any siblings?
- Yeah I just saw them like, three times.
- Okay.
- Sorry to hear that.
- Yeah I'm not.
- You got a problem with the First Nations people here?
- You could say that.
- They got a problem with you?
- You could say that too.
- You hungry?
- No.
- Coffee?
- Sure.
- Security to the ward with haste.
- I was shocked you didn't love coming here.
- Sorry about that. Just this way.
Is there anything about Sarah in her last few months here
that you think might have been out of the ordinary?
- Not really.
She'd sometimes say that she didn't have any family.
I heard her say that once or twice
but that's not uncommon here.
She was doing better.
- Really?
- She was reaching out for the first time.
She was reading books, telling me stories.
I was happy.
I didn't have to worry about her anymore.
- Was there anyone inside that she interacted with
besides her roommate?
- She was a loner, mostly.
- Years ago, even? -
Anything that might have raised an eyebrow?
What?
- It started off, relatively harmless.
Reading stuff and they go around
spouting what they learn, educating the rest of us.
Sarah joined, and we called it book club 3.
It went off the rails once
and we shut it down after few months.
Nothing compared to the usual patient type issues we have here.
But anything that raises a bubble to a boil, we shut that down.
- What would they read?
- All sorts.
It was the new age stuff that got them all rowdy.
- Who were they? The two other patients.
- Hawkins and Space-Man.
Nurses and orderlies sometimes
come up with nicknames for the patients.
- Are they still here?
- No, that was a while back.
Jim Hawkins was a voluntary patient, wasn't here long.
Luke Barns spent all day alone,
staring up at the clouds.
Book club was good for him.
So was Sarah.
- Do you have any photos or a video of either one of them?
Or book club maybe?
- You're gonna have to give me some time,
the system's not great.
I'll find what I can and send it over to you.
Great.
- Do you know where those guys are now?
- Never heard from Hawkins.
Space-Man worked a reserve gas station an hour north from here.
He was the only patient I ever received a postcard from.
- Ok, how soon is soon?
You know this place?
- No.
But if you got a status Indian friend
and you don't mind taking the scenic route,
smokes and gas are cheap out here.
Hey.
- Space-Man.
- Sterope, Merope, Electra, Maia, Taygete,
Celaeno, Alcyone.
9 star, 7 sisters.
- Right.
So you see all that from right here, huh?
- Yeah.
You could see it better at night though.
- Sure.
- You like books.
- Yeah, I love books.
- Human sacrifice?
- Aztecs. You know, Egyptians.
They offer, they offer blood,
they offer blood to the gods.
Travelers from another world.
With all your books, you better be careful
you don't get any late fees.
- Uh, those books are mine.
- So you remember Sarah, right?
- Yeah, of course.
- But you don't know where she is.
- Well I haven't seen her in a long time.
- How long?
- Who's to say?
- Where do you think she might be?
- Who's to say?
- So what else is up here, Luke?
I mean, besides the "ban government"
and the reservation?
Travel council check in on you sometimes maybe?
- It's actually, it's spacemen come through here.
- Do they?
- Sometimes.
I didn't, believe at first.
But now I do.
- Must be lonely out here.
Sure you don't have any company,
maybe come visit you on the weekends?
- Well I have a friend that brings me books sometimes.
- That's nice of your friend.
If you ever need anything sometime, you maybe got a number
you can call your friend?
- No.
Off the grid is best out here.
No power, no nothing.
- What about your friend?
Show me, I'd love to meet him.
Been thinking about going off the grid myself.
- I don't know.
- You like these?
Here. Try these on.
Come on. Look.
You show me where I can find your friend,
and I'll give you these.
- Like, like you know, a trade?
- Yeah! Sure.
- Okay.
- What is this place?
- I don't know.
Old logging cabins maybe.
Maybe he's gardening out back.
- Right.
- Can I help you?
- Hi, sorry to bother you. I'm Detective Ivy Seymour.
We're investigating the disappearance
of a missing girl.
You mind if I ask you a few questions?
- Seymour?
- Seymour! Are you okay?
- I see you.
Drop the sheet.
I said drop the sheet, now!
- It's nothing.
- Come here, you're ok. It's ok, we got you.
- Tell me your name.
- Jim. Hawkins.
- And why are you here?
- I already told you.
- Tell me again.
- I'm here because I'm not sure if I'm going crazy or not.
- What makes you think you're going crazy?
- Because,
I think I met the devil.
- Where did you-
- It came to me.
Out of the darkness.
At first I thought, it might be the Indians,
like one of them legends come to life.
But it's not.
He's been here long before them.
When you're alone in the dark, what do you see?
- Darkness?
- Go deeper.
- My thoughts.
Things that happen in our day.
- What else?
- I'm the one supposed to be asking the questions-
- There's something coming for us. I've seen it.
Coming for you.
What I'm hoping,
now that I'm here,
my hope is that,
maybe I'm just crazy.
- You showed her the tape?
- Mhm.
Says it's him.
Took her and her friend couple days ago.
Friend's still missing.
Got the cabin on lock down.
Got a team out there going through it.
Two mile perimeter.
We're checking registered 4-wheelers in the area.
- Who is she?
- Just a runaway.
- Says she was blindfolded.
Ambulance is on its way.
- I wanna talk to her.
- That's not a good idea, Will.
- No?
- Will.
- Do you realize how close we were?
- Hey, hey.
- Yeah, I do.
And now-
- And now he's out there and we should be out there too.
- Out there where?
- I don't know, but not fucking sitting here-
- Hey!
- Listen to me. Sarah could be fine for all we know.
Okay?
What are the facts?
- Facts are it's probably the fucking Indians.
- Seriously?
- Where's Space-Man?
- We're holding him overnight for questioning.
- Yeah don't hold your breath.
The wheel's spinning but that hamster's dead.
- I wanna know if that girl has seen Sarah.
- She said she didn't.
He took her and her friend, washed her and tied her up.
- He washed her?
- Says she was an offering.
- An offering for what?
- Hurry.
- I'm going as fast as I can.
- Go. Faster.
Look at me.
All our lives depend on her.
- Hey.
Come on in.
Just uh, give me a sec.
See?
When you don't do things by the book you risk losing everything.
We're close.
And I'm not gonna let this one slip.
Not even for a second.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Every time you come to town?
Having them on you?
Don't you get sick of it?
- It's complicated.
- I got time.
- Have you ever heard the Coast Salish drums?
- No.
- They put you in a different place.
- You can't buy the sky, or buy the water.
You can't buy what can never be yours.
- Well we've talked about this.
And we had a deal.
- You offered, but we refuse.
I warned you not to come here.
- Yeah you did.
- Something bad happened to this place.
- My next offer isn't gonna be any better.
My father used to call you savages.
And I never liked that, didn't think it was right.
But you come all the way up here to bother me and my family
and we shook hands, like men.
Now look.
Look.
You take your money and you turn around
and paddle your fucking canoe home.
And you know what's good for you, you don't come back.
- Just go back.
- No, they're fighting again.
William!
- What?
Come on.
- No.
Let's go back.
I'm scared.
- Mom?
Dad?
- The drums.
When the cops went in,
and they grabbed them,
I was there and I remember the drums.
- Police!
Everybody down!
Down now! Where's your chief?
Where's Dan Ray?
- Will. I need you to point out who did this. Okay?
I know this is tough, but we're running out of time.
So just show me the man who did it, point to the man who did it.
- I don't know.
I don't know what I saw.
- You said men came to your house, there was a fight.
You saw that man, didn't you?
Point him to me, point to the man you saw. Who did you see?
- I know you saw the man. I know you know who it is.
I know you're scared. Don't worry.
You point to the man who did this.
We will take care of the rest, okay? Now who did you see?
- The chief. That's the man you saw.
Good boy, Will.
Good boy.
- Hello?
- Detective Seymour?
- Yes.
- You better come have a look at this.
- Detective.
The bodies we pulled from the shed,
aside from being dead
there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them.
No wounds, no fractures,
clothing's intact.
Whoever took these girls didn't seem to have much use for them.
- How many?
- 6 so far.
The name of your missing girl?
- Sarah Brook.
- We found her wallet.
- If you wanna just hold back a sec.
- Are one of those bodies hers?
- No IDs yet.
Prints take days.
DNA, weeks.
- Will...
- She's alive.
- Please don't touch that.
Everything's going to the lab.
- Seymour, she's alive.
- Will.
- She's alive.
I need a ride.
Anyone?
Can somebody give me a fucking ride please?
What are you doing here?
- You said my sister wanted to talk.
- This is bad timing.
- What did she want to talk about?
- This is a dangerous place for you to be right now.
- Yeah, well I have nowhere else to go.
- Come with me.
- The drums sound different tonight.
- They should.
Quagi oath are our guests.
This is their dance.
Their song.
The fact that you're even seeing their family masks...
well, it's a big deal.
- What did Sarah want?
- She came here last November.
She wanted to learn about our legends.
Understand why we refused the sale of our land.
But,
she didn't want to listen.
And then she left.
That was the last time I saw her.
- What legends?
- Our people reflect on the natural world around us,
through our legends and great spirits.
The eagle, the raven, the grizzly bear.
Let me tell you the story about the great ianyacacan.
Thunderbird.
One spring, killer whale swam into the bay
and frightened away all the salmon.
The orca was very powerful, wouldn't leave.
Soon the people began to starve.
And so they called out to the great ianyacacan for help.
Ianyacacan came, took the killer whale in its claws,
carried it out to sea.
The fish returned, the people were no longer hungry.
Your parents had big plans.
A resort fishing town.
Catch all our fish, but they didn't ask for our permission.
There are some that believe ianyacacan was called upon
to deal with your parents.
We were not to blame.
I assure you.
What happened to your parents, Will,
that was a tragedy without explanation.
- So what do you think happened?
- I don't know.
- Do you believe in the legends?
- Of course.
- And monsters too?
- Truth is,
there is a darkness out there.
And it preys upon the weak.
But let me put it to you like this.
You are not the only one who's lost someone to the darkness.
- What should I do?
- If you want to make things right with the people
I will help you.
But,
if you wanna make things right for yourself,
then stop running from your demons,
and face them.
- Please tell me you have good news.
I got our missing hitchhiker out on the streets
screaming her lungs out.
- Somebody help me!
Hawkins paid a visit to the hospital
took a nurse with him when he left,
so how 'bout you?
Talk to Will?
- No, why?
- He just left for Ocean Falls.
He's going to his parents' old place.
It's probably a good idea, stay away from all this.
It is a mess over here.
- Okay, I'll- I'm coming in.
- Human sacrifice.
- There's something coming for us, I've seen it.
- The killer has purpose, you understand?
He's preying on the weak for a reason.
And if the cabin was just a holding tank
for these girls, there's something about Ocean Falls,
I can't put my finger on it but do not let Will leave!
Are you ok?
No one's gonna hurt you anymore
you don't have to worry about him, alright?
I'm gonna be right back.
- William?
What are you doing here?
What is this?
What did you do? What did you do, Will?
- Let's get out of here, okay?
Listen, I don't know what he put in your mind.
- Do you know what you've done?
You want to know what this is?
This is taking responsibility.
This is making up for the past.
- No, Sarah.
- He came for us once, remember?
What do you see when you close your eyes?
They pray for it to come.
But it's already here.
- Let's get out of here and we'll talk about everything.
I'm sorry.
- Stop.
- I was scared. I should never have left you.
- You forgot me.
- No, I didn't.
- Yes you did.
I was alone.
- Never again.
Come on, let's go.
- No.
I have a job to do.
- Where are you going?
- To get the nurse.
If you don't feed it, bad things happen.
- That's a hell of a fish you caught, kid.
- You never saw any sign of Sarah, or anyone else?
- No.
Just him.
- And if I go there, what am I gonna find?
- We're here today to witness
a second chance.
From this day forward,
the past shall never be brought up again.
Hard feelings will be set aside.
Here.
We now call you brother.
And you will be treated like family.
- Hey.
When you planning on getting out of here?
- I don't know.
I was kind of thinking of sticking around.
- Really?
- Our masks are sacred to our people.
And are passed down for generations.
To receive one is a great honor,
but also a responsibility.
By wearing it,
the man becomes the spirit of what it represents.
- I don't feel done here yet, you know?
- What, like a permanent move?
- Maybe.
Why, you don't wanna be friends anymore?
I thought we were friends, Will.
- There is darkness in this world.
But there's also light.
Whichever path you choose now,
is for you to decide.
- We could say we were out of town, camping maybe?
Something?
There's a cop. She's nice, we can trust her.
- What?
- She'll have questions.
A lot of questions.
- What do you want me to say?
You wanted me here, I'm here.
All I wanted to do was to make things right.
Sounds like you do too.
So?
It's your move.
- What are we gonna do?
