[narrator] Since the beginning of time mankind has existed between

the world of light and the world of darkness.

Our secret society has been here forever

protecting others from the creatures

who inhabit the shadows and the night,

known only to the initiated by our true name,

The Legacy.

[theme music playing]

[Compton] I asked for you on this case

because you were once a student here.

If this lawsuit is filed and the accusations,

as false as they are,

become public...

how many parents do you think

are gonna stand around and wait until the truth comes out?

Uh, Ms. Merrick is the only teacher accused, right?

How long has she been at the school?

Over seven years. And I have complete confidence in her.

In fact, I've asked her to come by.

[intercom beeps]

Would you ask Constance to come in, please?

[woman on intercom] Right away, Ms. Compton.

[growls]

You know, she's done so much to help Patty blossom.

This has really hurt her.

[stammers] It's unfair.

[knocking on door]

[children yelling]

Constance, this is Dr. Rachel Corrigan.

Thank you for helping us, Dr. Corrigan.

No problem.

[chuckles nervously] Part of me just wants to laugh

at the absurdity of it all.

But I guess it's far too real, isn't it?

These allegations are very serious.

We need to spend some time together, Ms. Merrick.

I wanna go over everything in detail.

Of course.

I'm getting the girls ready for their dance recital,

so if you could wait until later this afternoon,

I could meet with you any time.

Fine.

[door closes]

Dance recital.

I think I had my first dance recital

right here at Hampton, didn't I?

Would you like to borrow this?

-May I? -Well, of course.

It seems just like yesterday.

[chants echoing]

[chants echoing]

[siren wails in distance]

[monitor beeping steadily]

[woman on intercom] Dr. Lawrence, dial 118, please.

Dr. Lawrence, please dial 1-1-8.

Hi, Patty. I'm Rachel. Ooh, that's heavy.

That's quite a bonk you got on your face.

A pretty nightgown, too.

I got a little girl about your age.

Her name's Katherine.

You know what she tells me is the worst part

about being stuck in bed?

You get too bored.

So I brought this sandbox.

I've got a game I think we could play if you want to.

It's called, "How to Tell a Story Without Using Any Words."

Have you ever played this game before?

Well, I guess I better go first, because I have,

and I'm pretty good at it.

That's pretty interesting.

We could make that... your school.

Shall we pretend that's your school?

Okay. There's your school.

Now it's your turn.

[Rachel] Hey, look at all those people.

Who are they? Are they your teachers?

Which one is Ms. Merrick?

And how about Headmistress Compton?

Where's she?

She's not there?

And where are you? Are you there?

Oh, yeah, of course. That's you.

It's still your turn. What happens?

They take you somewhere?

Another place? Another building?

There are monsters in this place?

Ms. Merrick is a monster?

[quietly] I'm Monica Greer. I'm Patty's mother.

Dr. Corrigan, I'm Monica Greer.

Have you seen my daughter, Patty, yet?

I was just with her.

Did she talk to you? Did she say anything?

The doctors don't know what's wrong,

and I can't even get her to talk to me.

I don't think that she's gonna talk to anybody.

Not right now. Not till she feels safe.

She doesn't know who to trust.

But I'm her mother.

Well, to Patty, you sent her to Hampton School,

and something really bad happened there.

She's just trying to sort things out.

I swear to God this is all something

that my ex-husband set up.

That son of a bitch is trying to take her away from me,

and I am gonna do anything I can to stop him.

I don't wanna lose my daughter.

Of course not.

You just be with her.

Don't try to force her to do anything or say anything.

You know, kids are pretty resilient.

They can surprise you.

[monitor beeping steadily]

Look at what somebody brought you.

It's a doll. Do you wanna play with it?

All right. I'll just leave it over here for you.

[screaming]

Okay, Patty. It's okay.

All right, honey. I got you.

Come on! Get this thing out of here now!

Come on, there you go. Okay.

See, it's going away. There it goes.

You're okay. You're okay.

[panting]

That's a good girl.

There you go.

[Nick] So the doll is Sweet Cindy.

Manufactured by Matlin Toys in Chicago.

No batteries or moving parts.

She's a big seller, but she doesn't move on her own.

I know what I saw.

I'm sure you do, but I couldn't tell you why.

"Thinking of you, your friends at Hampton School."

Seems pretty innocent, but I could look into it.

-Great. -I'll check the database

for anything on Hampton School and come up with a history.

I think that Patty was trying to tell me

that she was taken

somewhere under one of the school buildings.

[clock ticking]

I seem to remember a...

tunnel.

Why don't you see if there's any old building plans

for this place and find out

if there are any tunnels or passageways?

Sure. I'll check it out.

Do you have any specific memories from, like,

second or third grade?

Yeah, I do.

Sure. Why?

Because I don't.

I mean, I...

spent several years there

when I was a little kid.

I haven't got one specific memory that...

That's weird, isn't it?

Is there something that you think you should remember?

Yeah, I-- I think there is-- I...

[child murmurs]

I think there is.

And we could all see right away that...

Patty had great potential.

She loved to learn.

She was always asking questions.

She would get moody...

because of what was happening between her parents.

But then she would get excited

about something, and, uh...

Nothing unusual happened that night.

Except Patty running away.

And we still don't know what frightened her.

What about the other building?

What other building?

The building you took Patty to that night.

We didn't take Patty anywhere, Dr. Corrigan.

[seagull cawing]

[phone ringing]

Derek Rayne.

[clock ticking]

No. I was expecting the call.

I will be there. Yes, I remember.

Oh, Derek, here's that research--

I'm going to be gone for a while.

-You're leaving now? -Yes.

-But what about all the-- -It will have to wait.

-When will you be back? -Uh, later.

-Is everything all right? -Yes, I'm fine, Alex.

I'm just fine. Thank you for asking.

[man on radio] Headlines and weather at the top of the hour.

And here's the way things stand...

Another terrorist bomb ignites the Middle East.

Famine continues to ravage Uganda,

while the third typhoon in as many weeks

decimates Japan.

The FBI remains clueless as the worst serial killer--

[turns radio off]

[chattering, laughing]

[Rachel] Jan? I heard you were looking for me?

It's not safe for you here.

I heard them. You've been primed.

What's that?

You should turn the rope for them.

Girls?

This is Rachel Corrigan.

-[children] Hi, Rachel. -She was a student here once.

And she needs to remember how to jump rope.

-Go ahead. -[girl] Over here.

Take it.

[Rachel] What do you think? Can I use your end?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

And you should be leaving, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I... I'm not feeling well.

Jumping rope is for young girls.

Do you remember?

[indistinct chatter]

[siren wails in distance]

[Kat] She's scared, isn't she?

Yes, she is.

Somebody really scared her.

She won't tell anyone who.

You mean, she won't tell any adults.

-That's right. -I can understand that.

[chuckles]

You want her to tell me, don't you?

[monitors beeping]

Only if she wants to, honey.

[door creaking]

[nurse over PA] Dr. Richardson, to nursing station two.

Dr. Richardson...

Hi. I'm Kat.

That's with a K.

-This is for you. -[door closes]

You saw some really bad stuff, didn't you?

So did I.

I saw an ancient Egyptian princess

all wrapped up as a mummy.

Do you know where Egypt is?

It's in the Middle East.

You know, where the people are always fighting?

[sighs]

She died there.

She was murdered.

But she came to visit me

here in San Francisco.

You want me to tell you what happened?

[monitors beeping]

[whispering voice] Yeah.

[gags]

[coughs]

Patty...

[wolf howls]

[door creaks opens]

[gasps]

She told me who scared her.

Who, sweetheart?

A wicked old witch.

[crow caws]

[Rachel] What do you got?

Constance Merrick. Named in the abuse suit.

-Vassar. Phi Beta Kappa. Impeccable credentials. -Hm.

Spotless record. Squeaky clean.

But she knows something.

Lorraine Compton took over the Hampton School in the '60s

from the Mount Carmel nuns.

She's recognized as an early childhood

development specialist.

Not even a parking ticket.

Patty told Kat

that this, uh, witch,

or whatever, was really old.

She had long, gray, thin hair, and her face was rotten.

And a nasty disposition too?

But all the teachers

are in their 20s or 30s

and-- and Lorraine Compton, I mean she's probably 60.

But she looks 20 years younger, and...

Patty told me she wasn't involved.

-Did you meet everyone? -Yeah, I think I have.

But something's going on here. I can feel it.

There is something going on at that school,

and we are gonna--

[groans]

Now, wait a minute. You all right?

Yeah, I'm... [shakily] Yeah, fine.

What else?

Well, I'll have a run at the database

and, uh, check any students who attended the school,

flag anything unusual.

That's good.

[computer beeps]

And we can even track the witch idea.

Good. Pull out anything that resembles black magic.

Like tomorrow.

[Rachel] What's tomorrow?

[stammering] It's the summer solstice.

It's the most potent time

for the witches' Sabbath.

[computer beeping]

[birds chittering]

[quiet chattering]

[door closes]

[bell tolling]

My ex-husband is gonna file the custody suit,

and my lawyers keep telling me that

I have to look like the perfect mother.

Do you want this man to take your child?

No. I-- I want to fight him.

By yourself?

[scoffs] Who are you?

What is it that they call your kind of dancer?

Gypsy?

Your ex-husband is an executive with a solid salary and a home.

Now, with those images to choose from,

who do you think the court will pick?

[stammering] I know, I know.

But I can't go through with our--

You say that you can't because you think you're alone.

But you're not.

We are behind you. We are with you.

We are offering you the empowerment of sisterhood.

Whatever obstacles are in the way,

we will remove.

How could you not do what is offered to you

if you know that it will save your daughter?

-I need to think about this. -No.

-No, I need-- -[harshly] No!

Your needs are not what's important now.

Patty is committed.

And so are you.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Hello, Derek.

Thank you for coming all this way.

I see that living here has done you no harm.

But in your eyes,

I see the same pain as always.

I will take up prayer for that.

Your thoughts are welcome.

But... what?

How do you sit cloistered behind these walls day after day

and pray to what you can't see,

and sing to a God that never truly answers,

instead of putting your power to use out there

where it could be felt?

You think that prayer does nothing?

But the power of prayer reaches beyond these walls

to the far corners of the earth.

And the devil, in whatever form of evil it may take,

would like you to think it is everywhere.

Do you deny that it's there?

You think it, and so it is.

And then you march out to meet it.

But you forget that the battle is God's.

I wish I had your faith.

Oh, you do, Derek.

But you won't allow yourself to trust it.

I fear that I no longer clearly can see the way.

You are my brother, and I love you.

I have seen you grow into a fine man.

But it pains me to see you so tortured...

and by your own hand.

By my own hand?

You carry the burden of our father on your back.

And you always have since the day he died.

That is why we meet each year.

Because you have not forgiven him.

I have, finally, Derek.

And I have found my peace in that.

But you have also not forgiven yourself.

And that is why you struggle so.

But someone has to fight the battles I do.

We cannot all sit in silence.

Then gird yourself properly for battle, Derek.

Fulfill your destiny...

my dear brother.

[elevator dings]

[people chattering]

Hey, Monica. What's going on?

Where are you taking Patty?

Doctors say that I can take her home

and even back to school,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

-No, no, no. -I am not gonna let my ex-husband win this.

Monica, look at her. She's terrified.

Monica, you cannot take her back there.

You can't do this to her.

Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?

You've got Patty talking about witches.

[Rachel sighs]

Look, Monica, just wait one minute--

I should bring you up on charges.

[woman on PA] Dr. Parsons to Craniology.

Dr. Parsons to Craniology.

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

[computer beeps]

[Nick] Someone's teaching more than the three R's at this school.

Alison Fleming.

Recent graduate. Suspected but never charged

in the burning of a church in Essex.

[keyboard clacking, computer beeping]

Grace Reardon. Graduated 20 years ago.

On probation in New Mexico

for the mutilation of cattle.

Claimed that she was communing with the dead.

[keyboard clacking, computer beeping]

Beth Connor. Graduated last year from the Hampton School.

Was stabbed through the heart by 76-year-old Elaine Bisler.

She said that Beth had put a spell on her husband,

who then fell into a coma.

There's a ton more like this.

You better find out where Rachel is and stay close to her.

[Nick] Yeah.

[girls yelling]

[Rachel] For the sake of the school,

you can't let Patty stay here.

[scoffs]

Perhaps that's exactly what we need to do.

If we can show that Patty's completely comfortable

at this school, their case will collapse.

I appreciate your concern, Rachel...

but I want Patty back with us.

I need to talk to you.

But not here, not now.

-Why not? -It's not safe.

Meet me at the back in 15 minutes.

[sighs]

[softly] Nick, what are you doing here?

Thought we should hang together, just in case.

Good idea.

[Jan] Rachel!

Rachel!

Watch me and remember.

[chanting echoing]

[screams]

Oh! My God.

[Compton] We're, uh,

all in a state of shock.

Did Jan ever try to

talk to you about Constance?

Do you think Constance was involved in this somehow?

[stammers] I can see you do.

This school represents

my entire professional career.

I always...

I always wanted the best for Hampton.

I tried to instill that attitude

in all of the staff.

With Constance, I had hopes that she would... [inhales sharply]

someday become headmistress.

I treated her like a daughter.

Maybe I gave her too much freedom

without checking on her. I...

Even a mother can't see everything.

Yes, but she's responsible for her children.

Please...

We think the children are in danger.

What do you mean, they're in danger?

They're being used in some form of ritual.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying that's what happened with Patty?

Are you saying my children

are being abused?

[Rachel] Yes.

And we think it's going to happen again tonight.

Now we know that they're being taken someplace

on the school grounds.

But we don't know where.

We have the building plans...

but...

[growling]

Were you aware that

this building wasn't always a school?

That it originally was a mansion?

Yeah, we were.

If you could search your records for anything...

about Constance that might help us.

I'll look into it right away.

I'll get back to you immediately.

-Thank you. -Oh, thank you.

Thank you for coming back to us

and helping us.

Thank you for helping me.

[door opens]

[girls chattering]

You want me to drive?

[Constance] Okay, let's line up in a column of twos.

You know more than you think.

And when you remember, you'll leave us alone.

[chants echoing]

[wolf snarling]

I know what I have to do now.

[winces]

[Nick] What's that?

It's what Jan said.

I have to remember. I...

Somehow I'm a part of this.

[car doors close]

[Derek] Rachel, tell me exactly what you know so far.

What happened at the school

can't be so easily explained.

The police may say that Jan's death was a suicide,

but... someone or something got to her.

Nick, she was trying to warn me.

What do you think she wanted you to remember?

Something about being a child that...

[sighs]

There's so much about that I can't remember.

And I don't know why.

And I-- I have the feeling like--

Like, we're running out of time.

What do you mean?

I can't get rid of the feeling

that something evil is going on at that school,

and-- And if the summer solstice is the time

for a witches' Sabbath, that--

We have until midnight tonight.

[Rachel] Or what?

[Derek] The coven of witches will begin the rejuvenation.

Drawing of energy from the corruption

of the innocent requires children.

Five of them would represent

the five points of the pentagram.

And then what happens?

The child is primed, and then--

Primed.

[Jan's voice] I heard them.

You've been primed.

Yes.

Prepared for transformation.

They take away their childhood.

Usually, with a ritual like this,

they plant an image in the girl's mind

to prevent her from remembering.

Mostly the image of an animal

eating her from the inside out

should she ever try to tell.

A wolf.

Perhaps.

The children then become one with the coven.

Have you noticed a group of girls

acting as one, as if seeing as one?

Yes, I have.

Well, then we haven't much time

to discover where this will happen.

Look at this.

[Derek] Legend from Legacy journals

has it that consecrated salts

were used to battle witches.

[chanting echoing]

[thunder crashing]

[Alex] Now, the school was originally a private residence

built with money made during prohibition.

Now, there's a network of passageways

under the building that was probably used

for running liquor.

But these plans don't show an entrance into them.

Yeah, well, we've got half an hour to find it.

All right.

I want each of you

to take one of these leather pouches.

They each contain consecrated salts taken from

the mines of Jericho over 2,000 years ago.

Now, these holy salts

are a counteracting agent to a witch's black magic.

Now... check the walls...

floors, everywhere.

[bells tolling, thunder rumbling]

Soon your daughter's spirit will be empowered

beyond your wildest dreams.

No judge, no court,

no man will ever be able to take her from you again.

[children's voices] Do you remember, Rachel?

Come join us again.

You're one of us.

[snarling]

[gags]

[gasping]

Their influence over you is getting stronger, so we must be close.

Please, hurry.

Rachel, if you continue on,

your pain is going to get worse.

They're concentrating the force of their black magic on you,

because they know that you're trying to uncover them.

[hoarsely] I came here to see this through.

I'm not gonna stop, no matter what.

We can't let them hurt the children.

[sniffles]

I don't care how much pain I'm in.

We're not gonna stop.

Promise me that, Derek.

I promise.

[groaning]

With this invocation, we give unto you this child...

so that you can fill your being with all your majesty.

Out of the darkness, hearken unto us.

Draw near.

Attend on us this night of fledgling sovereignty.

[growling]

[snarling]

[whimpering]

[children's voices whispering]

Leave her alone!

The spell has been broken!

Stay away from her!

Rachel.

Look what you've done.

-[growling] -[screaming]

[laughter]

[screaming]

[Alex] Rachel, what is it?

No. They're not in passageways.

They're not using passageways.

They're not under the school.

They're in the attic.

It's in this building.

[Derek] How do you know?

Because...

Because I was there.

As a child, I...

I know what they're doing.

I remember.

Acknowledge this unholy ferment which simmers in your name.

[unearthly voice] Let the shroud of the spirit...

cover us and protect us.

And let us begin!

You felt the spirit...

of the wolf...

I made this wolf my own.

[Derek] Nick, over here.

You stole my childhood.

You won't steal theirs.

I could have made you

so much more than you are.

Women are not supposed to be weak.

I can take a young girl

and turn her into a force to be reckoned with.

That was to be your destiny.

But you wanted no part of it.

Oh, I am so sorry, Patty.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, I never meant to hurt her.

I just-- I just wanted to keep her.

[continues sobbing]

To have blocked this out for all those years.

That was how you survived.

But they did this to a child.

But you didn't give them any power.

Even as a child, you stood up to them.

And when you were ready...

Derek, I had to do this.

It was like something was leading me through.

Perhaps it was a prayer...

to see you through the battle.

There are certain things that are meant to be.

And someone very close to me

helped me to see that again.

This was part of your destiny, Rachel.

Yes.

I know that.
