Adam Scott Actor

Boston, 1954. U.S. Marshals Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) are on a ferryboat in foggy Boston Harbor headed towards Shutter Island, an island containing a federal mental hospital for the criminally insane. They are going to the island because a woman patient, named Rachel, has escaped the day before. Teddy is very ill, sweating and throwing up in the toilet, telling himself to "get it together, it's just water." Then he looks out the window and says, "It's a LOT of water." He goes up on deck to talk to Chuck, and it's apparent that they are new partners working for the first time together. During their conversation, it is revealed that Teddy's wife died in an apartment fire several years before. Chuck is sorry he brought it up. He refers to Teddy as "Boss" all the way through the movie, and at one point mentions that Teddy is a legend, so we know that Teddy is well known through the Marshal Service and that he is Chuck's superior.

They get to the island and the ferry captain mentions that there is a big storm coming. Teddy and Chuck meet the deputy warden, McPherson (Ted Levine), who takes them into the mental hospital grounds.
