They reluctantly give them up, with Chuck rather clumsily removing his holster from his pants, which gets him a look from McPherson and Teddy. Teddy says that they are federal agents, but McPherson tells them that federal penitentiary law overrides that and says that they won't get through the gates with their weapons.

There is a brief argument when deputy warden McPherson requires them to give up their firearms. It houses the most dangerous patients and the marshals are told that under no circumstances are they to go there on their own without McPherson and Dr. There is the A building, housing the male patients, B building for the women patients, and C building which is situated on the highest point of the island and we are told it was a civil war fortress. There are high walls that make it look like a prison, and electrified wire on the perimeter, but the actual buildings and grounds look almost like a college campus. Teddy and Chuck meet the deputy warden, McPherson, who takes them into the mental hospital grounds. They get to the island, and the ferry captain mentions that there is a big storm coming. 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.

During their conversation it is revealed that Teddy's wife died in an apartment fire several years before. He goes up on deck to talk to Chuck, and it's apparent that they are new partners working for the first time together. Then he looks out the window and says it's a LOT of water.

Teddy is very ill, sweating and throwing up in the toilet, telling himself to get it together, it's just water.

They are going to the island because a woman patient named Rachel escaped the day before. Marshals Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) are on a ferryboat in foggy Boston Harbour headed towards Shutter Island, an island containing a federal mental hospital for the criminally insane.
