The Island

The surviving girls run into the park, Robert giving chase. They hide behind a ride, and he finds them, but Paisley manages to kick him and knock him back before he can hurt Harper. They run again and make it to the cliff, where they collapse in exhaustion. Paisley begins to sob, covered in Ava’s blood, and Harper tries to calm her down. Harper asks her who the killer could be and suggests Reeve. Paisley admits that Reeve was in prison, which Harper finds suspect. However, Paisley points out that Reeve seems to feel grateful to Malcolm for giving him a second chance and says that he wouldn’t kill him for that. As she is speaking, she puts the pieces together: He hates Malcolm, he lives with his mom…the killer is Liam. Harper tries to reason with her, but Paisley insists.

They are startled when they hear Liam’s voice, telling them that Malcolm is not his father but his uncle. He is unmasked and still armed, standing between them and the park. They have nowhere to go but over the cliff. Paisley tries to get him talking and appeal to his ego, telling him that she would love to interview him and get his side of the story. She asks him to let Harper go. Liam doesn’t take the bait and tells both girls to come with him. Paisley thinks that the explosion was 15 or 20 minutes ago, which means help will be there very soon. They just need to survive a little bit longer.

Liam takes them to a seafood restaurant at the back of the park. In the kitchen, he has Malcolm tied to a chair and gagged. He undoes the gag and demands that Malcolm explain why Liam, whose real name is Robert Liam Jenkins, hates him so much. Malcolm tries to defend himself, and Liam tells the story instead. His mother, Camilla, was the oldest child, and her father never loved her. Instead, he only wanted a male heir. Though she was an excellent student, her father never prioritized her and instead preferred Malcolm, who partied his way through college. When she became pregnant with Liam, her partner abandoned her, and she was left to cope alone. Her father let her work in a low-paying position in the company and told her she would never rise up the ranks.

After her parents died, the will left everything to Malcolm. Instead of sharing, he enjoyed the wealth and hired Camilla as his secretary. Camilla worked constantly for little pay and left Liam alone in their house. He felt out of place knowing that they were just pretending to be as wealthy as their neighbors but made a lucrative hobby out of video gaming. He convinced Camilla to pitch the influencer weekend to Malcolm and to let him sabotage the opening, hoping to ruin Malcolm and take revenge. However, when he arrived, Malcolm didn’t even recognize him as his own nephew. This made Liam so angry that he changed the plan and decided to begin a killing spree. When his mother tried to stop him, he killed her too.

While Liam rants, Paisley and Harper silently communicate and plot to turn a shelf over. They throw it on Liam and start to leave, but Paisley insists on cutting Malcolm loose. As they leave, Liam gets up and stabs Malcolm. Paisley and Harper flee.

The girls run toward the jetty, hoping help will be there. En route, they see Reeve crouched on the ground. In distress, he tells him that Gibson is dead—he died in Reeve’s arms, saying “help her.” Reeve assumes that he was referring to Ava. They tell Reeve that Liam is the killer, and he is enraged, vowing to go kill him and avenge his friend. Paisley convinces him to come with them to the jetty. He agrees but tells Paisley he will return for Liam as soon as he knows Paisley is safe.

They almost reach the jetty and see a boat, far in the distance. However, blocking their escape is Liam, armed with a sword. Reeve tells the girls to go and that he will take care of Liam. However, suddenly, Paisley is grabbed from behind and held at knifepoint by Harper, who reveals herself to be Liam’s partner all along. The two explain that they met online and bonded over their unhappy home lives. They plotted the murder spree together, lying to Camilla about it, and hope to be remembered as the next Bonnie and Clyde.

Paisley tries to reason with Harper, believing she might be a good person, but Harper laughs and tells her to shut up. Reeve causes a distraction by lying and saying that Liam kissed Ava. He and Paisley break free, and in the struggle, Paisley stabs Harper, killing her. They make it to the jetty, where a rescue boat has arrived. As Reeve tells the men what happened, he gets onto the boat and helps Paisley board. However, Liam appears behind her and pulls her into the water with him. The last thing she sees is Reeve’s horrified expression as she goes under the waves.
