Later still, a radio signal confirms other people are still out there - alive and ostensibly safe on an island - and there's also confirmation of the monsters' weakness being water. The opening also shows just how well equipped Lee was at dealing with the attacks, and when the family later meet Emmett (Cillian Murphy), he confirms that he saw the signals from Lee but chose to ignore them. This look at his backstory strengthens the connection he has with Regan, some of which had been lost by the time of A Quiet Place, and makes his sacrifice to save her and Marcus' (Noah Jupe) lives even more moving. It's never explained just how he knows this, but it seems plausible that, having a deaf daughter, he is particularly attuned to things with regards to sound and hearing, or at least just more likely to think of that more immediately. Similarly, Lee quickly picks up on the fact the alien monsters use sound to hunt. During the baseball game, Lee is shown to have a close bond with Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and when they're forced to go on the run, she decides to go with her father. Related: A Quiet Place vs Part II: Which Movie Is Betterįirstly, there's A Quiet Place 2's opening scene itself, which shows some of the monsters' origins and just how the Abbott family responded to the first attack. Mercifully, Krasinski very much knows what he's doing, and Lee's return - and how that factors into the rest of the movie back in the present timeline of A Quiet Place - makes things even better. While Lee's return comes in flashbacks, rather than a convoluted reveal that he was never really dead, it still could've upended his sacrifice if handled badly. Krasinski is back among the cast in A Quiet Place 2, a somewhat risky move given his character was killed off in the first movie. Done as an act of loving sacrifice in order to save his children, it served as as both a real shock and a truly poignant twist to push the story into its climax. Given Krasinski directed, co-wrote, and co-starred in A Quiet Place, his death came as something of a surprise. The death of John Krasinski's Lee Abbott was an emotional moment in A Quiet Place, but it's made even better by the events of A Quiet Place Part II.
