qatinefilms

Please, no!

It hasn't been long.

Yeah, no I m telling you it's been four years

since our last vacation together.

No, because last year we went away on that

weekend thing, remember?

I mean a vacation.

Right.

What if I don t even know to vacation anymore?

The first step is putting away your laptop.

Oooo -kay.

Second, is ditching your cellphone.

- Come on, give it over. - No. That s a hard no.

We re gonna have a sat phone on the island,

just in case, you junkie.

Can you check e-mails on those things?

No, you can t.

Okay, so...

Okay look, I'm gonna go check in with the captain

and pack the boat, if you want to poke in around town.

Okay.

It s just, it feels, it just feels weird without my laptop.

So, I m just going to take that.

You know what that feeling is?

It s called freedom.

You should try it.

Great.

Don't worry, you can do this.

Gorgeous day.

Where you from?

I m visiting from new york city.

Life moves a bit slower out here.

Can I help you find anything?

- Just browsing. - Okay.

You vacationing here?

Yeah.

Yeah, my husband and I are here the whole summer.

I just finished a big project and, well, he has a

flexible schedule.

He s an actor.

An actor?

The bryant family murders.

That s a really good one.

Really?

The author figured out who did it!

I won t tell you just in case you decide to read it.

I already read it.

Thank you.

I couldn t believe that it was his daughter!

I did not see that one coming!

So, what s your name?

Carly... Travers.

My goodness, this is you!

My.

A real life author in my very own store.

What was your name?

It s kathy.

Kathy, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Wow, they must have been really shocked when they found out it

was their daughter.

Listen, let me know if you need any help here or if you need

anything around town.

Thank you.

Actually, I do have a question.

I m staying on crawford island.

Crawford island?

Yeah.

So you know all about diana crawford?

I do.

It is quite the mystery.

Is this your next book?

No, no, I m just vacationing.

You should know the crawfords are loved

in this town.

Absolutely, I didn t mean to intrude.

I just wanted some reading material about the island, so...

Alright.

Well, you can go and see mrs. Palmer over at the library.

She can set you up with reading material.

Okay.

Have a safe trip.

Thank you.

We re all loaded up, hun.

Okay.

Bye, internet.

Okay!

Island's eight acres.

Rest of the shore is too steep and rough to dock, so this is

the safest place to do it.

The only place, really.

That'll get you around.

We're about two miles out from the mainland.

And just go ahead and leave the bags there, I ll give you

tour of the place and then I ll come back and get em.

Watch your step!

Crawford manor was built in 1925 by

john henry crawford.

John henry was a pleasance bay legend.

He left to make it big on wall street and returned some

years later to marry the local belle, his high school

sweetheart, diana.

The manor was a symbol of his love.

These days the pleasance bay historical

society, we preserve the manor and the island and we

rent it out to folks like you to help cover the expenses.

Right this way.

What s that?

It s an old guest house.

It's condemned.

It's scheduled for demolition at the end of month.

Let s go, we re almost there...

Welcome to crawford manor.

Wow, the pictures online really don't do

it justice, right?

It's incredible.

I think this was a really good idea...

Let's go.

Look at the sizes of this thing.

Is that john henry?

The man himself.

This place is spectacular.

Yeah, it's a big draw for historical

buffs, and you know, of course the mystery crowd.

The mystery crowd?

Alright, let s see this.

Lady of the house.

You know, the story goes that after a few years of living

here, john henry started seeing a shadowy figure

on the island, but diana just dismissed it as a figment of his

imagination.

Well, one night, he went into town and she stayed home.

That was the last time he ever saw her.

The next morning, her body washed up on shore.

She had been strangled.

None of the neighbours saw anybody dock a boat or anything,

so...

The legend is that the shadowy figure killed her.

So young, her whole life ahead of her.

You actually look a bit like her.

Maybe around the eyes?

Really?

There is actually a bit of a funny connection.

I think she s my great grandfather's cousin s wife.

But I have to do a little bit more digging.

You mentioned you wanted to look into your family

history, but you never mentioned this interesting factor.

So the police never figured it out?

It s a cold case.

Well, thank you!

My pleasure.

You two enjoy!

We'll see you in town, captain!

Sure thing!

You knew the whole time.

You knew the whole time and you lied to me.

No, I didn t lie to you.

Are we even on vacation or are we just here

so you can research a new book?

I don t even know.

You know, what bothers me is that if you d just asked me,

I would have said yes.

Carly, you know the only reason why I didn't want you to start

again is because what happened on the last time that you were

on this book-

I'm not researching a new book.

I m not, I m not. I was just curious about this place and

then when you said that you wanted to go away...

I just thought we could kill two birds... That s all.

Okay, obviously I'm tired, and we've had a long

day, and I just... I just think we should have a bath,

have a glass of wine and maybe talk

about it another time.

Okay.

- Okay? I love you. - I love you too.

Carly!

This place is huge.

This room is twice the size of our apartment.

Can you believe yesterday we were fighting for a spot on

the l train, and now it s just the sound of crashing waves on

our own private island.

This is the summer of us.

You, me, crashing waves, and relaxation.

That I can get behind.

To crawford island.

Ahhhhh...

How'd you sleep?

Good... Except one of the windows came unlatched upstairs

and started making a ton of noise.

I must've slept right through it.

Yeah, you did.

This ocean air, I was out like a light...

Yeah, and then I stepped on some glass when I was trying

to deal with the window.

Are you okay?

It kind of hurts...

Let me see.

You cut yourself.

The weirdest thing though was that I couldn t find
