Original subtitles

[Derek] I commit to paper, as duty requires,

my journal entry.

I've been a Precept, the head of the San Francisco Legacy House

for over 15 years,

yet the eventsof the last two nights and day

have brought me to what may be the end of my days

in The Legacy.

Betrayal of trust eats away at the foundation of any relationship.

This is the truth of what happened.

It began with the return from a mission in the Gobi Desert.

I checked with the pilot, and he said everything was shipped on time.

Very good.

Artifacts arrive in the morning, let's begin cataloging them.

Not a bad haul for two days.

Nope, I'll fill Alex and Rachel in.

[Nick] That'll give me time to start a little journal entry.

-[door locks] -Nick, wait.

I'm sorry, Derek.

I regret this deeply,

but it's unavoidable.

Soon, I'm going to ask you to do something.

You have to trust me.

[man] Derek Rayne, this Tribunal has been assembled

because you've been accused of conspiracy

to bring ruin to the San Francisco Legacy House

and death to its members.

Have you a statement for the record at this time?

No, I do not.

The members of your Tribunal who will

examine the evidence and pass judgment

are Clare Spencer,

Precept of The Legacy Hong Kong House.

Charles Banyon,

Precept of The Legacy New York House,

and I am Sir Edmund Tremain,

Precept of The Legacy Ruling House, London.

Let the record reflect that your accuser

is a member of this very Legacy House.

[Charles] Do you understand the consequences?

Should I be found guilty by this Tribunal,

I'll be forced to step down as a Precept

of this house or leave The Legacy forever.

[Sir Edmund] That, I'm afraid, Dr. Rayne,

may very well be your fate.

[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.

[Derek] By the time a Tribunal is formed,

damning evidence has already been gathered.

Therefore, the Tribunal operates on the presumption of guilt,

because they can't risk evil

slipping through and corrupting The Legacy.

The stakes are too high.

Any member may call a Tribunal review

when they feel a situation warrants it.

Each member of The Legacy is required

to keep a journal of their activities

and observations.

These journals have now been turned against me.

...and have been subpoenaed by the Tribunal as evidence.

In this box is placed the name of The Legacy member

who's brought these charges against Derek Rayne.

The name is known only to the monitoring committee

who then assembled this Tribunal.

We will now lock the secured box.

[lock clicks]

And anonymity is guaranteed.

-This is outrageous. -Dr. Corrigan!

How can he not be allowed

to know the name of his accuser?

Dr Corrigan!

Since you're still a new member of The Legacy,

I will overlook your behavior this time.

The Legacy has followed this procedure

since before the time of the druids,

having learned that the accuser must be granted

the safety of anonymity in order to expose

evil in our midst.

Let us proceed, then.

The first entry in this hearing

is from the journal of Julia Walker,

The Legacy member now deceased.

I'd like to draw your attention

to her observations concerning

the search for a fifth sepulcher.

It was one of these chests that took your father's life, wasn't it?

Yes.

[Derek] I was 15 years old,

on a journey with my father in Peru.

Father?

What are you doing?

I need to find the whole truth.

Don't!

Don't!

Dad!

Dad, let's get out of here!

Come on, take my hand.

Dad!

-[snarling] -[screams]

Dad!

Dad...

[Clare] Julia Walker states that,

and I quote, "We had been sitting

on a powder keg of evil."

Will you state, for the record,

what you knew that evil to be?

Five fallen angels who wreak havoc.

It was the druids who finally subdued

and imprisoned them in these chests.

You said there were five chests.

There's only four here.

[Derek] My father died in vain,

retrieving this one.

And after that, the burden

of finding the others fell to me.

I spent all my life

uncovering three more.

But to destroy them, you need all five together.

And tonight...

Tonight, I had a vision of the missing one.

[Clare] Was it in the search for this fifth sepulcher

in Ireland that Julia Walker was killed?

Yes, it was.

Nick Boyle states in his journal

that you sent Julia off by herself in this search.

[Derek] Yes.

[Nick]Alex said Julia went to an antique store.

I'd hoped she'd be here.

You shouldn't have split us up.

-[thunder rumbling] -Let's just worry about finding her.

We should've stayed together.

[Clare] Was it the separation of Julia,

the splitting of your forces, that led to her death?

Yes, it did.

[Derek] Further evidenceof the conspiracy I was facing

came in the morning.

Is there anything you can tell us, Derek,

to help clear this mess up?

You know, the old man is really pressing hard on this one.

He's going out of his way to show impartiality

because of his relationship with your father.

I know what I've done.

But the journals, they're open to interpretation.

And they have some damaging observations.

Perception is not always truth.

But perception can get you banished.

You helped me become a Precept.

I'm only trying to help you, Derek.

This is difficult,

but I will do my job.

And if the evidence is there,

I will convict without hesitation.

I wouldn't expect you to act any other way.

And is it difficult for you, Clare?

To see you again after all these years?

What do you think?

That we did what we had to do.

Is that your memory of it?

Your perception of the truth?

[scoffs]

Mine's a little different.

It was long ago.

Back when I thought I knew you.

Isn't it ironic that now I must choose

and do what I have to do?

[door opens]

You've never done this before?

No.

We're just going to talk about what you've already said.

You make some damaging statements.

But I was--

Merely observing and recording what happened,

and within that...

lies the seed of truth.

I worked with Derek's father.

We were good friends.

Like Winston Rayne, I am a seeker of truth.

You state here...

and Nick Boyle's journal corroborates what you say,

"The slum landlord was sentenced to spend time alone

in his own building."

And then, when trouble arose, Derek sent you there alone,

without backup.

Yes, but he was testing me.

And?

Were you tested?

[gasps]

You have done your part.

You may leave now.

No way.

I go, he goes.

[gasps]

[screams]

[groans in pain]

[screams]

Alex!

Alex! Alex!

Alex!

Derek clearly knew that a serious situation existed.

Yes, he was informed.

And did he send you any help?

No, but he was--

Still testing you?

[echoing] Testing you.

Testing you.

[Derek] Want a drink?

[Nick] Yeah, sure. Hit me.

What happened to you?

I want him.

Alone.

So how did it go, Alex?

You know damn well how things went.

You knew all along.

You knew all along

what was in store for me in that hellhole,

and you sent me down there?

You knew what I was up against?

Maybe I did.

And maybe I didn't.

The point is

you needed to be there.

Having you stay was the right decision, wasn't it?

Wasn't it?

Maybe.

[Sir Edmund] Is it not possible

that testing you without backup

was merely a guise

for making sure you did not return to this house alive?

So, what are we supposed to do now?

There are rules that outline how we're supposed to proceed.

Oh.

The Legacy's been Derek's whole life since his father died.

If they force him to leave, it's...

It's like a death sentence. It'll kill him.

Well...

this whole system relies on loyalty.

You don't seem too bothered by any of this.

You've never forgiven him for Julia's death, have you?

It's...

That's what it is, isn't it?

You think this is my way of effecting revenge?

I know I didn't accuse him.

So it's got to either be Alex...

or you.

I think you're forgetting one thing.

This fourth chair...

and why it's empty.

Maybe the Judas member isn't here.

We're all here.

Not all of us.

[Clare] The Tribunal has invoked its right

to rely on sources outside The Legacy.

In this case, we welcome a former member,

Father Philip Callahan.

Why wasn't he here in the beginning?

You're the secret witness?

Mr. Boyle, you're out of line.

You want to answer that, Philip?

Why should I answer if you've already made up your mind?

We trusted you.

[gavel pounds]

[Sir Edmund] The room will now be cleared,

and we will begin the private interview

of Father Philip Callahan.

[Derek]Evil among us is having its effect.

Dissension is tearing The Legacy apart.

The bonds of trust are breaking under the strain of doubt.

Even I am not immune.

They said I could see you.

Yes, but the rules allow us only a brief moment together,

so let me come right to the point.

The point is, you're being railroaded, and we have to stop it.

Not by fighting amongst yourselves.

-Philip is-- -That's not your concern.

I told you I would ask you to do something.

I need my father's journal immediately.

You know they won't allow that.

What is it you're trying to hide from the Tribunal?

I need the journal, Nick.

[Sir Edmund] Father, would you say that Derek Rayne

is far too secretive?

I'm sure he has his reasons.

Conspiracy?

I doubt it.

[Charles] We're only trying to get to the truth.

Now, you'd written

that you were concerned that Derek allowed

an ancient scroll to be kept and studied at The Legacy.

[Clare] A scroll that was delivered by a man that he knew to be...

Do you remember what you wrote, Father?

"He knew to be a sworn enemy

who had turned his back on The Legacy."

[Clare] Yes.

And yet you and Nick Boyle

were left the task of unraveling it...

alone.

[Philip] 11,000 BC.

[Nick] Yeah.

The composition analysis of the ink and the parchment showed up this morning.

Great, so what's it made of?

Flax? Rice paper? Papyrus?

Skin.

Skin? What kind of skin? Sheep? Goat?

Human.

Human?

And the ink is blood.

Here, have a look.

See the movement?

Yeah.

Human blood?

Yes.

The ink or blood is motile.

The scroll is alive.

[Charles] Do you remember drawing this symbol?

Yes.

And why did it concern you?

Because it was the mark of Cain.

It's the clearest sign of the presence of evil!

[ghostly whispering]

Is it or is it not

a clear sign of the presence of evil?

[Sir Edmund] Father Callahan, answer the question.

Yes.

[Philip] Derek?

The scroll,

it's not Sumerian.

It's Paleo-Hebrew,

the earliest form I've ever seen.

And I suppose now you can read this?

Yeah, I did.

Well, what does it say?

It's a confession.

To what?

Murder.

It's the first murder confession ever made.

I don't follow you.

It's the confession of Cain

to the killing of his brother, Abel.

And it's his curse to... exile,

madness and death for whoever possesses the scroll.

[Sir Edmund] So, Father, once the mark of Cain is bestowed,

it may be burned into the soul forever.

I did not bring these accusations against Derek,

and I think it's outrageous they've been using my journal

-as evidence. -How?

Because I wrote about some moments

when I was doubting some of Derek's choices.

I think we've all done that.

Sometimes daily.

I know, but some of what Tremain says actually makes sense.

I'm beginning to wonder how well I know Derek.

Ah, I think he's purposely kept himself

somewhat unknown to all of us.

The Tribunal thinks it's some sort of twisted plan

to corrupt The Legacy's system.

He's asking for our help.

He wants me to get him his father's journal.

By helping him, we may be putting ourselves at risk with the Tribunal.

You should have trusted your gut.

Yeah.

My gut told me that you'd never really fit in around here.

No. Your gut told you to forgive me for being what I am,

but Tremain and the others

have us all doubting everything we know.

Because one of us is lying.

And Tremain seems determined

to shove that lie down Derek's throat.

Someone or something is trying to divide this house

and singling Derek out.

Are we with him or against him?

I think Derek would say

that we should be for the truth,

even if it's not what we want it to be.

Let's go.

[Charles] Derek.

I'm still ready to listen.

I can help.

Thank you, Charles, but I've nothing to say.

Look.

Don't wait too long.

The things that are written about you

in these journals are, uh,

impossible to ignore.

Okay?

I'm glad your father's not alive

to see what's become of his son.

How wounded he would have been.

You seem to have convicted me already.

If you are convicted, it will be by the words

of those of your own house.

You have levied a mountain of damning evidence at your own feet.

The Book of Proverbs, Derek.

"He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind."

You never should have joined us.

You might feel better if you sit down in your room.

[Charles] There are more statements challenging the decisions

of Derek Rayne in your journal

than anyone else.

Why is that?

We didn't always see eye to eye.

You certainly weren't shy about confronting him.

I've said my piece.

[Charles] You indicate here on page 36,

and I quote, "His narrow vision

won't allow him to see the danger that this kid is in."

That's right.

A friend of his was accused of child abuse,

but he wouldn't believe it.

He said he didn't think the man was capable of it.

He was right.

Yes, but what happened when The Legacy realized

that this child had been suffering abuse at the hands of... this entity?

Derek took the child to The Legacy

in the hopes that the entity would manifest itself.

[praying in Latin]

[beeping]

[grunts]

Our father who art in heaven--

[screaming] No!

Give us this day our daily bread.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who...

But deliver us from all evil! Amen!

[screaming] No!

[yells]

What are you doing here? Get out!

David!

[boy screams] No!

No, no!

I can't breathe.

Oh, my God! No!

[Sir Edmund] So at this point,

not only was young Michael put at risk,

but The Legacy itself,

because at this point, you didn't know how to fight it?

And anything could have happened.

That's right.

But it didn't.

And it's our job to put ourselves on the line.

But this way, you could've all been killed.

Mr. Boyle, yes or no?

Mr. Boyle, answer the question.

Mr. Boyle?

Yes.

A man did die.

You couldn't prevent it.

Would you consider that a success?

[boy] Take... my... hand.

[gasps]

David, no, not you too!

[gasping]

Michael!

Mommy!

[Clare] It seems to me that

any one of you could have been taken

by the ghost spirit of this child.

Derek was in the same danger, was he not?

Yes, that's correct.

[Charles] So this was possibly bad judgment.

But...

I don't see any evidence

of a plot against his own house.

Don't let friendship cloud your judgment.

Derek was well aware that if he entered into a pact

with the dark side,

that he would be the one spared.

I need your help.

Then trust me enough to tell me what the hell you're doing.

For your own safety, I can't.

Remember...

faith has need of the whole truth.

Derek, what is it?

How can you ask me to help you if you know that one of us betrayed you?

I have no choice.

Ask Philip to bring his shaving kit and mirror,

and Alex, the files on possession.

From the vault, I need the twin daggers of Igiru--

-[door opens] -[man] Time's up.

[door closes]

If you want me to stand behind your findings,

then you better factor in the good with the bad

and see how it adds up.

And if the math somehow turns out thumbs down for Derek,

then I will throw him out of here myself, but until then...

Until then, I'm not buying any of this.

This man saved my life.

[Rachel] Nick?

He's alive, Derek, barely, but he's way under.

Hypnosis.

Nick, stay strong.

The demon will do everything it can to mislead you,

but it's powerless to attack

unless you surrender to its will.

Listen for me.

Let's do it.

You can't control me

unless I surrender to your will.

Can you, Liz?

[roars]

Nick, you must be stronger!

Derek refused to come out of the trance,

which could have killed him,

because he hadn't reached me yet.

[Rachel] On the count of three, you will regain consciousness.

One, two...

[gasps]

[Derek] Nick, hurry!

Do it now!

We gotta go.

-I can't, Nick! -Come on.

You can do it!

[snarls]

Quickly! This way!

[roars]

Do it now!

Derek!

[Liz] Leave me! Save yourself!

[Nick] I won't let you go.

Derek!

[Derek] Nick, this way!

Hurry! Hurry!

At incredible risk to himself,

he entered an induced coma controlled by a demon spirit and pulled me out.

We would ask you to also remember, Mr. Boyle, your own words.

Words that you wrote after Derek sent Julia off by herself, unprotected.

[grunts]

[panting]

[screams]

[Julia screams]

[thunder rumbles]

No!

Do you remember what you wrote?

"I don't think I can ever forgive him

for causing Julia's death."

[clock ticking]

[Alex] Where's Rachel?

Maybe a priest would seem more innocent.

I will take these things to him.

Derek will get all he needs, Alex.

I'm not the one to be feared.

They're going after all of us.

Trying to open up old wounds.

It's not gonna work with me.

If not us, then who?

[Rachel]Look, I don't care what it says in that journal.

I've seen this man repeatedly throw himself

in the path of evil in order to save lives,

and I will never forget that he saved my daughter's life.

[Sir Edmund] And yet, you want us to overlook

that he let you make a trip to the South,

knowing that something was wrong,

and you could be in danger?

And you were in danger, mortal danger,

your whole being threatened by a dark spirit.

[gasps]

[gasps]

[sobs]

[Clare] And despite all this...

Derek let you stay.

He...

I needed to face my fears.

This was more than fear.

This was a battle for the possession of your soul.

He sent Nick to help me.

When it was almost too late.

[Kat] Mommy!

[Nick] I got you, kiddo.

-[Kat screams] -[Nick grunts]

Mom, stop! You're killing him!

[Nick] Tear it off!

-[laughs evilly] -[Kat] You're killing him!

[Nick] Rachel!

The brooch! Take it off!

Tear it off!

[Kat] Mom, get it off!

It contains Rebecca's soul! Tear it off!

[Kat screams]

[gasps]

Mom, throw it!

[laughs]

Mom, fight her!

[grunting]

[Rachel moans]

[screams]

Okay.

I guess we can trade stories all night, can't we?

But it's not gonna do any good because, obviously,

you all have decided to ruin this man's life.

Why?

It is not your place to address this Tribunal

unless you're responding to direct interrogation.

Then I refuse to continue with these proceedings

until I can face the accuser.

[Sir Edmund] Dr. Corrigan.

Dr. Co--

Dr. Corrigan!

Dr. Rachel Corrigan, rise and face the Tribunal.

Your refusal to cooperate with this Tribunal places you in contempt

and invites punishment, and I will--

Then you better take me down, too.

Sit down, Mr. Boyle. You're out of line.

Well, then so am I.

And you're risking the same punishment.

You might as well make out four of those forms.

This is outrageous!

[Rachel] No, this is outrageous!

We refuse to proceed.

We demand to face the accuser, because if it isn't one of us,

then who in this room, is it?

Derek Rayne stands accused by someone whose identity

is protected by Legacy decree!

-[Sir Edmund] I refuse to tolerate this behavior! -[all talking indistinctly]

All of you will be brought up on charges--

Wait.

You'll find my name on that letter in that box.

Those charges must be dropped.

I am the accuser.

[bird caws]

Derek Rayne, why have you brought these charges against yourself?

[Derek] I have risked my very life's blood,

my membership in The Legacy in order to save it

from great peril.

During the past month, I sensed there was a growing cancer

within The Legacy,

but not in this house.

I called each one of you with my suspicions, and this session

was my only chance to lure the evil out in the open.

I know this has been very difficult on all of you.

Something in my father's journal reminded me how evil spirits

could be masquerading among us

and possibly reading our thoughts,

that's why I could never speak of my plan.

[Sir Edmund] Can you name this evil

and provide proof at this time?

Not yet.

Then on what do you rest your case?

On the very journals right in front of you

and on my own actions.

[Charles] But surely

there must be something else.

No.

I stand on that.

[Sir Edmund] Then this session is concluded.

[gavel bangs]

[Derek] I go now to meet my fate, and with these words,

I conclude what may be my last journal entry,

knowing that while I live, the truth may not be known,

so let these words stand the test of time

and be my legacy.

You asked to see me.

You asked to see me.

Yes.

Just to tell you that I also will do what's necessary.

[Sir Edmund] With no new evidence to deliberate,

the members of this Tribunal will now

deliver their verdict.

The verdict must be unanimous.

Guilty.

Guilty.

Guilty.

The sentence is banishment, without appeal,

to be carried out immediately.

-[gavel bangs] -I invoke my right to a final statement.

Proceed.

[Derek] So, my friend,

in the dark of night,

you arrived to begin these proceedings.

Quite an ironic touch I thought, but then,

a Legacy guardian

would close the shades each time you came to visit me.

[scoffs]

And now I stand here, condemned,

before a wall of darkness.

But you and I know that the first thing

we're taught as Precepts

is to cut through the bonds of evil

and let in the light of truth!

[grunting]

[Derek] Stand back, everyone!

Curse on your house and you!

[all gasp]

[Charles groans]

[yells]

[all gasping]

God, what we almost did to you!

I feel so... I feel so ashamed.

[Derek] Don't be.

The truth of your emotion

and Sir Edmund's honest anger told me it wasn't either of you.

But how did you know?

The Charles Banyon I knew couldn't use his right hand.

So his firm handshake gave it away.

That's right.

And when he last came to my room,

I saw he had no reflection in Philip's mirror.

Derek,

what's left of this Tribunal owes you an apology

for what it did and what it said.

Goodbye, Derek.

Goodbye, Clare.

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

I owe each of you a debt of gratitude

for your trust of me.

And of each other.

The truth comes out sooner or later.
