Part 2/7:
In the present, Thomas arrives at the island after transferring to a boat, a journey disrupted by a sudden storm that sees a goat thrown overboard as a supposed sacrifice to the cult's goddess. Upon reaching a picturesque yet eerie village, Thomas and other arrivals endure a series of examinations and interrogations before being assigned their cottages. That evening, curiosity lures him out into the village, where he witnesses disturbing rituals and the cruel treatment of a man believed to be Jennifer's father, ultimately leading to the man's violent death by the cult's leaders, Malcolm, Frank, and Quinn.
