[piano music playing]

[wind whistling]

[piano continues playing]

Who are you?

When your father was in need, I came.

Christina is my given name.

Christina?

But you're not real.

Real enough for you to see

what evil awaits The Legacy.

Your father did a father slay,

but once again, he comes this way.

Who are you talking about?

Who comes this way?

One whose daughter was beguiled

now seeks to steal a little child.

[rumbling]

Deny him this, and you compel

his soul to burn in fiery hell.

Beware the wrath.

[gasps]

[Nick] What the hell was that?

I'm not sure.

A warning.

Something or someone is coming.

[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.

[birds cawing]

All I can tell you is what I experienced.

I remember hearing the music,

speaking to this woman, Christina.

And then just as I came in,

that the window shattered.

But it isn't broken.

Pretty weird, huh?

No kidding.

So who is Christina?

My father spoke of her.

He claimed that whenever he needed her, she was there.

She's a seer who can foretell the future and see the past.

And according to legend,

she's been around over 300 years.

Three hundred years? Are you serious?

Okay, what does this Christina see?

Someone my father killed has come back from the grave.

To do what?

That's what I intend to find out.

"The Journal of a Ghosthunter"?

Maybe my father's diaries

will give us a clue.

Or maybe you could just ask Christina?

It's not that simple.

Why is that?

You don't find her. She finds you.

And what else do you think of

when you look at a painting like this?

It doesn't look very real.

No, that's true.

It doesn't look real, does it?

[Kat] Yes, it does.

Really? That's interesting, Katherine.

What makes you think so?

Because an artist paints what she feels.

What's real to her.

Very good.

Did everyone hear that?

[students] No.

Katherine, would you like to repeat that

so that everyone can hear?

What makes a painting real

is if the person who paints it

paints what they feel in their heart.

Excellent. All right, class, let's move along.

[students murmuring]

[Christina] Ticktack, sweet Kat.

Come to visit? Come to chat?

Who are you?

Christina.

I've been expecting you.

No way.

How could you expect somebody you don't even know?

It's true, it's true.

Waiting here for only you.

But why?

Because it is our destiny.

I'm for you, and you're for me.

Do you always talk this silly way?

Always, never...

it's all the same.

Seeing your future is why I came.

You can see my future?

Clear as night.

Night? That's not so clear.

It is for me.

Child of Rachel, child of Ruth,

the time has come to tell the truth.

Beware of evil from the past,

the first that comes to take the last.

What did you just do?

Mark you now, your soul to keep.

Listen for me when you sleep.

An evil vessel soon will be

brought back to The Legacy.

[teacher] Katherine...

Come along.

Coming.

Katherine.

Yes, ma'am. I'm coming.

[birds cawing]

[Dominick] Oh, Father Callahan.

Welcome back.

Thank you, Dominick.

Philip?

My God.

What are you doing here?

[Nick] When did you get in? Why didn't you call?

I'm only just passing through.

Officially I'm in San Francisco on church business.

Oh, yeah? And, unofficially?

I'm here... to give Derek this.

[Derek] "To Derek, my son.

To be opened in the event of my death."

Where did you get this?

In the monastery I've been staying.

St. Alban's, Kilkerry.

They've been renovating the cloisters.

I recognized your father's handwriting

the minute I set eyes on it.

I got it here as quick as I could.

I remembered he stayed there,

just before we met up in Peru for the last time.

And he never mentioned this letter?

No.

Just like my father...

to leave secrets and tell no one.

Sounds like it runs in the family.

What is it?

I'm not sure.

Maybe this will tell us.

That's strange.

It looks... almost Abyssinian.

Well, there's no... No hinge, no lock, no seams.

It feels like there's something inside, though.

It could be starting to disintegrate.

Perhaps.

Why don't you see if you can find out what it's made of.

Sounds good.

Nice to have you back.

Uh, actually, I'm only here for the week.

Of course.

So there's no chance that, uh,

I can persuade you to decipher this?

[Philip] There's something really odd about these characters.

I guess I'll give it a go.

Okay.

[dog barks]

We learned so much...

about Rembrandt and Picasso,

and some guy who paints soup cans.

Whose paintings did you like the best?

Mary Cassatt.

She was an Impressionist, just like Renoir.

That's right. And she's an American too.

Just like you.

The only problem was people back then were so stupid.

How's that?

They thought women weren't supposed

to do that kind of thing.

You're right, that is pretty stupid.

But Mary Cassatt just didn't believe them.

Who told you all this?

Miss McHugh.

Well, Miss McHugh sounds pretty smart, doesn't she?

Mmm-hmm. So is Christina.

Christina. Is that one of your friends?

She lives in one of the paintings.

In a painting?

Yeah. With a unicorn

and lots of other great stuff.

-I'm sleepy. -Yeah.

Go on, hop into bed.

Now, this Christina...

are we talking real or imaginary?

Real. She can even see the future.

And did she see your future?

Sort of.

She said be careful.

Something from the past is coming back.

[thunder crashes]

[closing door echoes]

[beeps]

[Philip] Well, it's not Sanskrit or Sumerian.

Nothing recognizable.

But there's something...

uncomfortably familiar about it.

What's that?

It's my father's journal.

I thought it could help us.

Derek, listen...

I'm not sure I'm gonna be much use here.

I mean, this sort of thing takes a lot of time.

I know. The effort is much appreciated.

Philip, it's good to have you back.

It's strange, but you have no idea how many times

we could have used you.

How has it been in Ireland?

Divided as ever, despite the promises.

It's really upsetting when they use the love of God

to generate so much hate.

[phone rings]

Derek Rayne.

[Rachel] Derek...

It's Rachel.

Something's happened to Kat.

[Derek] Tell me what's going on.

Well... you know that encounter that you had the other day

with, uh, that woman, Christina?

Yesterday, Kat went on a field trip

with her class to the art museum.

And when I was putting her to bed,

she was telling me about it.

And she mentioned the same name, Christina.

She was almost falling asleep on her feet,

so I-- I mean, I...

I've just let her sleep.

But the thing is, there's this strange

mark behind her left ear.

Describe it.

Uh, it's... It sort of looks like, uh, a "C."

Let me talk to her.

Well, that's the thing, Derek.

I can't wake her up.

I think I'll come over right away.

Great.

Baby?

Kat, honey.

[Kat whimpers]

[Derek] How long has she been asleep?

Nearly 12 hours.

She doesn't have a fever.

Her vital signs are normal.

I just-- I can't wake her up.

Show me the mark.

Omega.

The last and most powerful letter in the Greek alphabet.

You said she spoke to Christina.

What did she say?

Only that she could see the future,

that Kat should be careful, that...

something was coming back.

-Just what she said to me. -Yeah.

Did Kat say where in the museum she saw Christina?

Not really.

She mentioned a painting.

A unicorn.

[Derek] Stay with her. If she wakes up,

try to keep her awake.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Yeah, Derek.

[Alex] How's it going?

The translation. Making any progress?

Not much.

They say talking is good for the soul.

That's what they say.

Even a priest needs to confess.

You've changed.

-Have I? -Yeah.

What happened?

My brother Michael.

He died.

Oh.

I'm so sorry, Philip.

It's funny, you know.

He was the one who would have made a great priest.

I was the sinner.

I mean, he married a good woman,

had five beautiful kids,

good Catholic family,

but... he was always trying to help people,

to do the right thing, you know?

How did he die?

Business in Manchester.

An IRA car bomb injured a girl on a bike.

He went in to help.

The second blast killed them both.

What sort of God allows this to happen?

You know there's no simple answer.

I know nothing.

Ever since the day this happened,

I've been asking myself,

"How do I fight for a God who would let this be?"

I mean, if this is a sample of his justice and mercy,

then I'm afraid I have to pass.

[indistinct chatter]

[echoing] Like the father comes the son.

Derek Rayne, the anointed one.

Christina.

Know yourself and you will find,

that I cannot be far behind.

Then you must know why I've come.

The mark on Katherine Corrigan's neck.

The mark protects her during sleep

from one who wants her soul to keep.

The day of reckoning,

the chosen waif

comes to me to keep her safe.

The day of reckoning?

Mistake not your father's fight.

The evil he killed is alive tonight.

Long thought dead,

he comes this way.

Prepare yourself for judgment day.

[thunder crashing]

No!

[Nick] Have you seen this crack?

I was right.

It's starting to disintegrate.

Yeah.

Have you spoken to Philip?

Not really.

Maybe you should say something to him.

He really needs a friend to talk to.

Well, I tried.

Last night, after everybody called it quits,

I stopped by his room with a couple of bottles of stout.

Sort of an old ritual we used to have.

Stout? You mean beer?

Uh... More like ale with an attitude.

Ooh.

Anyway, he, uh, kind of shut me out.

Said he wasn't interested in talking.

That's the trouble with you macho men.

Always keeping everything inside.

[computer beeps]

Hey... this can't be right.

What's that?

Well, the spectrographic analysis of the metal

shows a titanium alloy.

Only, the valences are off.

Ah, well, maybe it's breaking down quicker than we thought.

Hmm.

[Nick] Let's see if this acid wash shows anything.

Have a look at this.

Huh. It's Latin.

"Cave fons malorum."

Something... "Evil."

"Beware the source of evil."

Nice.

Winston Rayne's words to live by.

Mmm.

You know, there's no point in carrying on with this tonight.

[bottle clattering]

It's getting late anyways.

Yeah. Derek can have a look at it in the morning.

Okay.

See you in the morning.

-Yeah, have a good snooze. -Mmm.

[deep, menacing laughter]

[groans]

[knock on door]

You saw her? What did she say?

That the mark you found,

the Omega...

She put it there to induce a kind of dream state.

I...

I can't do this again.

[Derek] You have to.

The evil you've attracted has not come by chance.

You must face whatever it is, and you must be strong.

Strong?

Do you know what it takes to lose your husband and your son,

and keep on going?

To know that your daughter

might be in some kind of danger,

and all you can do is wait?

No. I don't need strong, Derek.

I need to know why.

Why her? Why me?

Rachel, listen to me.

There are no easy answers.

I understand your anxiety, your frustration,

but you don't have a choice.

You have to wait your chance and fight.

No.

I have waited long enough.

I want my daughter and my life back.

I can't go on living just--

When any moment, it all could end.

I...

Some malignant force could come and take my only child.

The way it's taken everything else that I have ever loved.

I need this to stop.

Of course. And it will. But not right now.

You want life to be fair? Well, it's not.

You want God to make things right?

Well, He won't without your help.

It's up to us to act. And we have to act now.

-[Nick groaning] -Nick?

Whoa.

Don't try to get up.

Give yourself a chance.

Something's in here.

Well, that or a little too much ale with attitude.

No, I'm serious. Something's in here besides us.

Well, like what?

I don't know. Didn't you feel it?

[Alex] No.

Well, it wasn't my imagination.

Well, what was it then?

Uh, I... I don't know.

But I'm gonna recheck security.

Well, wait for me.

As you lie asleep today,

two to wake you come this way.

When they enter, you'll awake,

and go with them for safety's sake.

Kat?

Honey?

Baby, can you hear me?

Yes.

[laughs]

Hello, you.

Guess who's here.

Derek.

And he wants us to go with him.

-Go? -Mmm-hmm.

Where?

Back to The Legacy. Just for a few days.

-I can't. -Why not?

I have to finish my art project.

-Oh. -I promised Miss McHugh.

Well, you can finish it.

We'll just take it with us, huh?

What's important right now, Katherine,

is that you get up, okay?

You cold?

Where's Christina?

In the museum.

I was there.

And I spoke with her about you.

But she was here just now...

before you came in.

Derek, um...

how about you go downstairs and just...

give us a couple minutes by ourselves, huh?

Of course.

Katherine.

[Kat] Philip!

Kat?

There you are.

They said you were here.

I've been searching and searching.

It's barely dawn. When did you get here?

Late last night. I came with my mom.

Derek brought us.

Everybody else is asleep, but I wasn't tired.

What are you doing?

Trying to help Derek solve this puzzle.

Only I'm not doing a very good job, am I?

I like puzzles. Maybe I could help you.

Unfortunately, it's not that kind of puzzle.

Then what kind is it?

The impossible kind.

And I've just hit another dead end.

[sighs]

You sound sad.

Do I?

It's like my teacher says:

"Any time things look bad,

all you have to do is look in a mirror."

And why is that?

Wait, I'll show you.

Because a mirror can turn everything around.

[chuckles]

Okay. You've proved your point.

Now...

off you go.

[kisses]

Oh, my God.

Out of the mouths of babes.

[Alex] How you feeling this morning?

I'm all right, except for this.

-It's gone. -Last night,

-we put the container in this case, right? -Right.

Well, it's a locked case.

How can it be gone?

Well, we both ran a security check last night.

Find Derek. I'll look around.

All right.

[gasps]

[yelps]

-[screaming] -[bones cracking]

Yes.

[Nick] Alex?

Where did she go?

You're certain you left it here?

Absolutely.

Have a look at the case. It's still locked.

This was something that belonged to my father.

I know. And I'm sorry.

But the control room is a secured area.

No one could have broken in here

without tripping the fail-safe systems.

What were the words you found?

Cave fons malorum.

"Beware the source of evil."

[glass shatters]

Find Alex

and make a thorough search of the house.

I want it found. You understand?

Perfectly.

I've got to talk to Philip.

[Philip] Derek...

I was about to come looking for you.

Any progress?

The whole text.

So quickly? How?

Well, at first I thought it was Abyssinian.

But your father actually wrote the characters

in ancient Aramaic.

The thing that threw me was

that he wrote the characters backwards using a mirror.

I guess he didn't want it falling into the wrong hands.

Is it that serious?

Yes.

"This is my confession.

I make it of my own free will,

so that I may atone, in part,

for the unpardonable sin I have committed."

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

Please sit down.

What's wrong?

There is something you need to know.

Something that may come between us.

Tell me. Whatever it is,

I'm sure we can work it out, Derek.

Shortly before he died, my father killed a man.

Someone who made a bargain with the dark side.

The man had two daughters.

One skilled in the black arts...

the other an innocent with a child of her own.

A girl.

Is this a joke?

No, Rachel, it's not.

The man's name was Joshua Cantwell.

My grandfather?

That's my mother... and Aunt Rebecca.

Where did you get this?

The archives.

Among my father's papers.

I've seen it before.

But I never knew where it came from until I saw this.

Nick faxed it back to us when he was down in Kingston

to help you settle your aunt's estate.

So you've known about this all this time and...

just haven't bothered to tell me, huh?

Until tonight, I didn't understand

the full significance.

Which is what?

After my father tracked down and killed Joshua Cantwell,

he reduced his body into a fine ash,

because he feared that

the evil force that dominated Cantwell's body

would find a way to rise again.

He placed the remains in a sealed vessel

and left it in a monastery in Ireland among his confession.

Rachel...

you must believe me, I had no idea.

Besides Cantwell himself...

my father killed one more person.

His daughter.

[whispers] No.

Mistaking one sister for the other,

he killed your mother.

No.

Never. This... This can't be.

[sobs]

This...

I don't believe you. My mother...

This can't be!

How could this be happening?

Don't you see that it's impossible for both of us?

Unless we're honest with each other, we have nothing.

What makes you expect that I could ever forgive you...

or your father...

or this Legacy for what happened?

Because all of this...

the death of your husband and son,

the incident in Ireland, you joining us here,

can no longer be seen as an accident.

You were meant to find your way to The Legacy.

There's no question.

You are part of us.

How can this be happening?

I mean...

I remember so little about my mother...

or my childhood.

I remember too much of mine.

Maybe you can accept this, Derek...

but I can't.

I won't.

I have no choice.

I must.

Alex.

[creaking]

Who's there?

Mom?

Christina?

Is that you?

[Rachel] Her pulse is weak,

breathing shallow.

What happened here?

I don't know.

But last night, after I locked up, something,

and I don't know what it was,

physically knocked me down the stairs.

He's here, isn't he?

Who?

Joshua Cantwell.

My grandfather.

The sealed vessel that Alex was working on...

she said that the alloy was beginning to disintegrate.

He's broken out.

First he attacked you... then Alex.

Oh, my God. Kat.

Kat?

Kat! She's gone!

Oh, my God, she's gone.

Check the back of the house.

-I'll check the front. -Meet you downstairs.

-Did you find her? -No, nothing.

Philip's checking the grounds.

[Christina] Time of trial,

time of tears.

Time to face down all your fears.

My daughter, where is she?

There is much we need to know.

We don't have time for this.

When a spirit has things to say,

only fools would walk away.

If you want to save Kat, you must listen to her.

Now, place your hand

thus and so.

Round the table we will go.

Spirit listening, hear our plea.

Raise your voice and speak through me.

One by one, each by each...

hear our prayer, we do beseech.

Speak to us.

Speak to us.

Speak.

Speak.

Speak.

[woman's voice echoing] I hear you.

What do you want with me?

Who speaks?

My name is Ruth.

Mother.

[Ruth] Rachel, how I've missed you.

Mother.

Why have you come back here?

Wrongly killed by Winston Rayne,

I've come to warn you.

Your daughter is in grave danger.

I don't understand.

[Ruth] Years ago,

my father traded the innocent souls

of his female heirs for immortality.

My sister went willingly.

But I ran away...

Gave up everything...

even my life, to save you from him.

But he was killed by the ghosthunter,

his evil spirit locked away.

And tonight he's free.

He has Kat. What...

What will he do with her?

To restore his bargain with the dark side,

he must offer up your daughter's soul

at the stroke of 12:00.

Or return to dust forever.

Then he's desperate.

Kat's his only chance.

We... We've gotta find her.

[Christina groans]

Running out of time.

Christina?

Quickly... go and let me be.

Find the child and set her free.

Set her free.

Set her free.

[ticking]

The hologram.

[Rachel] Oh, my God, Kat.

Let her go!

Never!

She's mine.

Just as you should have been.

No. You can't have her.

I won't let you!

Rachel, no!

[electricity crackling]

[screams in pain]

No!

[Rachel grunts]

Child of wisdom, child of light,

wake and rise this very night.

Silence!

Mom?

No! No! The hologram is breached!

Cut the power. The switch is up the stairs.

Joshua Cantwell!

Kat!

She is mine!

Rachel! Call her to you now!

Kat! Come here now!

No!

Don't listen to him!

The power is mine.

By the power of God, I command you!

Release that girl now!

God has no power over me.

My pact is not with Him.

You cannot sell what you do not own!

That girl is free! Let her go!

She is mine!

Who will deny me?

You?

Come then. Take her.

Kat, go now!

Mommy!

[yells]

[screams in pain]

[Kat] Derek!

[groaning]

It's time.

Time we drew things to their ultimate conclusion.

Derek, fight the pain and doubt.

Draw your sword and drive him out.

[Philip] All that's holy, give me strength!

[grunts]

Does that hurt?

[groans]

Let me help you.

[screams]

No!

[Derek grunts]

[both grunting]

[gasping] Mommy.

[Joshua] No!

[Joshua] Kat, come to me!

No!

[chiming]

[Kat] Don't let him get me.

[Joshua] Come to me now!

[Kat] No. Leave me alone!

No!

[Kat] Mommy!

[screams]

[chiming continues]

[electricity crackles]

[Kat] Derek?
