[tribal drums playing]

[chanting in native language]

-Oh! Oh!
-Shh!

[groaning]

Are you sure you wanna
do this, Grandma?

[continues chanting]

[screaming]

It's okay.

[screaming]

[screeching]

[sighs]

[theme music playing]

[zydeco music playing]

Sorry, I'm late.

I figured you would be,
so I started without you.

Don't tell me we're having
a pop quiz or something.

I forgot to study.

Don't worry. You can
copy off of me.

So, what is this?

It's a telephone art auction
or something, right?

Yeah. St. Petersburg Museum.
Lost Impressionists.

We got a shot at
some real fine pieces.

You now, maybe it's just me,

but I don't get why
one painting is real fine

and the other one
is just so-so.

Well, it's all subjective,

but you have to feel a painting
on an emotional level.
It has to

speak to you, touch you
in some profound way.

So, these paintings
that we're gonna bid on,
they speak to you.

Absolutely.
Every single one of 'em.

Maybe it's me,
but I don't hear anything.

Maybe you're
just not listening.

Wait. I think
I heard something.

No, it's just my stomach.
I think I'm gonna
try breakfast.

If one of these paintings
should happen to call for me
before I get back...

Take a message.

Right.

[intercom beeps]

[man] Excuse me, Ms. Moreau,
there's a call for you.

Okay.

-Hello?
-[woman] Alex, it's me.

Tanya?

Where are you?

[Tanya] I'm here
in San Francisco.

Daniel has a home here.
It was a gift from a believer.

I've missed you, Alex.

Well, I spoke to Grandma Rose,

and she said you brought in
some sort of faith healer

to cure her stomach ache?

-Daniel's a shaman.
-Really?

I mean, where have you been?
Why haven't you called?

It's complicated.

Complicated? All you do
is pick up the phone,
dial my number.

I mean, it's like you fell off
the face of the earth again.

I'll tell you
all about it
when I see you.

How about Cicero's at 12:30?

All right. I'll see you then.

Bye.

You smell good.

So, aren't you glad
you talked to your sister?

Yes, it was a bit strained,
but I don't know
about this, Daniel.

It's been so long.

Tanya...

Every worthwhile endeavor
is difficult.

Besides, I just want
to meet this very special
sister of yours.

By special,
you mean psychic, right?

Everyone in my family
has the gift.

Alex is just more potent.

Why are you so concerned
with me and Alex?

Tanya,

sweetheart,

you need this reconciliation
with your sister.

It's a very important part
of the healing work
we're doing together.

It'll make you well,

make you whole.

Come on.

Besides, my baby...

You know you're the most
important thing to me.

Don't you?

Yes, I do.

Come on.

[Alex] Our problems
go way back to
when we were kids.

I mean, she hated school,
resented the fact
that I did well.

-And she's your
big sister, right?
-[Alex] Yeah.

Well, maybe that's why
she's having such a tough time
with this.

You've gone on,
you've accomplished a lot.

Alex,

do you feel
responsible for her?

Yeah. No. I--
You know, I don't know.

Maybe in a weird way I am.

Rose used to say
I was her favorite

because of
the gift of sight,

and Tanya's always envied that.

The thing is she's so smart
and funny and talented.

But she still feels
the need to compete.

Well, that's it.

I mean, for a while,
she went to nursing school.

Then she drops out of that.

Now her whole life has been
a mission to find herself.

I mean, she's always
involved in some new
psycho-spiritual obsession.

Six months ago, Rose tells me
that she's involved

with this African healer,
a shaman.

Ah, Nick.

Phone auction
starts in a few minutes.

You just made it.

Can't wait. What's first?

Lot number four.

The Monet.
The Luna Foundation absolutely
must have that painting.

So, how high
are we prepared to go?

Okay. Well, I have
the appraisal figures

for that here somewhere.

Oh! [groans]

-Hey.
-[Alex] I can't believe
I did that.

[Rachel] It's okay.
I got it covered.

Here, you do it.

-Me?
-Yeah.

-I don't know what to bid.
-[Derek] Whatever it takes.

-Rachel?
-Hmm.

So, tell me,

what do you know about
this shaman your sister
is taking up with?

Well, supposedly,
he cured my grandma's
intestinal problems.

Tanya was there,
he pulled her right in.

Now he's got her thinking she's
some sort of mystic herself.

She literally
bangs drums for him
at his healing rituals.

Have you spoken
to your grandmother?

Every week. The pain
still comes and goes.

The thing is
is that Tanya and I
used to be so close.

Now, it's like
we hardly know
each other anymore.

You two are seeing each other
for lunch today, aren't you?

-Yeah.
-[Rachel] So,

how do you feel
about getting together again?

I don't know. I always say
I'm not gonna get involved
and I always do.

All I know is that
no matter what happens,
it always ends in disaster.

[Rachel] Maybe this time
it'll be different.

There's always hope.

I'm so nervous.

I don't think I'm up to this.

Tanya,

sit.

Take this nkisi bottle.

Give it to Alex
as a gesture of reconciliation.

This is from Grandma Rose's
bottle tray.

The glass from that bottle
will capture

and contain all the fires
that burn between you.

Reach out to her, Tanya.

Let what's in your heart shine.

Don't worry
about anything else.

I'll do my best.

I promise.

Oh!

-I'm sorry I'm late.
-Don't worry about it.

-It's so good
to see you, baby girl.
-It's so good to see you.

Look at you!

Daughter of Africa.

[chuckles] Come on, sit down.

You're not fasting again,
are you?

Occasionally,
to purify my system.

Are you sure you're all right?

You look a little tired.

I've never felt better.

I brought you this.

For me?

Thank you.

Let's see. Wow.

Oh!

The Kongo nkisi bottle.

Very good, sister.

Hey, you weren't
the only one raised

around Grandma Rose's
Creole superstitions.

Oh.

"I'm risking my soul
sitting out here
in the midday sun

when it's not casting its
natural shadow."

"And don't let no witchy woman
come sneaking up behind ya.

She'll wrap
that shadow up, child."

"And keep those
windows and doors
shut tight at night..."

"Or those boogeymans
come and get you."

[chuckles]

I miss her.

So where have you been
for the last six months?

Tanya, Rose is old.
She worries about you.

Yes, but she knows
that I travel the country
with Daniel.

Daniel. This is the healer guy?

Where the hell did you
hook up with him?

A spiritual teacher I know.

Naomi Sabah, she introduced us.
He's genuine, Alex.

You should see
all the people he's healed.

Including Grandma Rose?

He helped her.

He's a truly enlightened soul.

Oh, Tanya, why do you
always do this?

Can't you see him
for the fake he is?

I don't wanna hurt you,
but what I'm telling you
is the truth.

What I'm telling you
is that I've changed.

I've grown, and it's
because of him.

Meet him, Alex.
You'll change your mind.

He wants to meet you.

Okay.

Good.

[chuckles]

[Daniel laughing]

Did a spectographic exam,

a laser refraction patterning
analysis, and an X-ray,

and what we're dealing
with here is...

A bottle.
A very attractive bottle.

Listen, I know what I saw.
Even more than that,
I know what I felt.

No, no. Keep it here.
I don't want it in
my room anymore.

I had myself convinced
that this Shaman was a sham,

but after last night,
I'm not so sure.

Well, there is something here.

And considering
the nature of Tanya's claims,

he shouldn't be taken lightly.

By any of us.

You never met Daniel, right?

No, but apparently
he wants to meet me.

Excellent.

We'll have the two of them
over for dinner. Tonight.

Actually, the word "shaman"
is probably more appropriate

to the steps of Central Asia,

Latin America, and Indonesia

than it is to my home
in Central Africa.

Well, close enough
for jazz though, huh?

But "shaman" is preferable
to "sorcerer."

But not "witch doctor"?

[Daniel] No.

[chuckles] I mean,
I don't even own a broom.

[laughs]

[Derek] In reality,
many times,

it's the evil spell of a witch

that the shaman
will banish from the sick.

Correct?

But, Mr. Euwara,

the healing aside,

isn't the experience
more... transcendental?

Daniel, please.

And it's true.

There are many aspects
of our culture that are
rather extravagant.

However, you don't
expect me to reveal
my trade secrets here,

even to a lovely compatriot
like yourself, Dr. Corrigan.

[Alex] Actually, Rachel,

Bakongo healing
is done with the aid
of the spirits of the dead.

A shaman holds souls captive
in a nkisi cauldron.

He then enters a trance

in which he commands
the spirit zombies...

To aid him

against his will.

Tell me, Daniel,

does the shaman
ever question the morality

of holding dead souls
in such a limbo?

[Tanya] Actually,
it's a force of nature

that's summoned and controlled
by the shaman's will.

Let me ask you this.

Is it not more ethical

to use the power of the dead

to sustain life,

rather than ignore this power

and simply leave
the living to suffer and die?

It is always a doctor's duty

to ease suffering.

If I remember,

communing with the dead
in a trance is called
"la prise des yeux."

"The holding of the eyes."

Your sister is a marvel, Tanya.

A marvel.

She is as beautiful
as you said she was.

So much more.

May I offer a blessing?

To my beautiful protege, Tanya,

and her lovely sister,

Alex.

May they be reunited,

and from this night forward,

may they be together

as one.

Forever.

-Good night.
-Good night.

So, Tanya,
what does it feel like
to see your sister again?

-It's lovely.
-There's much
I could teach you, Alex,

if you could get
past your skepticism.

Let me tell you,
that's a big "if."

What is latent in Tanya
is far more potent in you.

I saw it in her in New Orleans,
and I see it in you now.

-Oh, do you?
-But you are stronger

by a thousandfold.

I want you, Alex.

I want you to leave here
and come and work with us.

You could be a healer.
Now you think of
what that means.

What do I have to do
to convince you?

Well, I'd say
nothing short of a miracle.

Hmm. Well, that can
be arranged.

We'll be at this address
at midnight.

The ritual is private.

The family would not like
a large audience,

so please come alone.

[car starts outside]

And you'll have
your first miracle.

[chanting in native language]

[child whimpering]

[groans heavily]

[yells]

[screaming]

Mom?

-You're all right!
-My boy!

Tanya.

[yelps]

Tanya.

You know how skeptical
I was of this guy.

But I also know what I saw.

And I gotta tell you,
it was pretty amazing.

He's asked me to join him,
Derek, to work with him.

They're going
to Portland tomorrow.

Yeah, of course
he wants you to.

He could make great use
of your spiritual
psychic power.

For good or evil?

Well, I'd say
definitely for good

after what I saw him do
with that boy last night.

And what about your sister?

Well, that's it.
She just isn't well.

Well, then, you should go.
By all means.

Well, how can I?
I can't just pick up and leave.

Yes, you can.
And you're going to.

Your sister's welfare
is paramount.

Well, I know that.

At the same time,
you cannot go blindly.

Ask questions.
We must learn everything
we can about Daniel Euwara.

And if you need us,

we will always be there.

I really can't give you
the names of the people
that Daniel's worked with.

It's confidential.

I know you understand.

But these people
demand their privacy.

Well, places then. Anything.

Tanya, the people I work with
are very concerned

about my going
with you and Daniel.

They need assurances
that I'll be okay.

I don't know why you feel
the need to check up on him.

I don't know why
you don't trust me.

[groans]

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hang on.

-I'm gonna take you
to the hospital.
-No, no, no.

Just take me home.
Take me to Daniel.

How is she?

She's resting.

I made a tea with some herbs
and that should strengthen her.

Last night's ceremony
just exhausted her.

Well, that looked worse
than just exhaustion.

Alex,

during these ceremonies,

powerful forces are
sometimes set loose.

And Tanya is just vulnerable.

She is not strong

spiritually.

Not as strong as you would be.

Strong enough for what exactly?

For me.

You see, Alex,

the interplay of male
and female energies

is very important
in our rituals.

It's something that

I need.

[Tanya] Daniel,
are you there?

I need you.

[Tanya whimpering]

Tanya.

Here.

Drink.

-I don't want...
-No, I made you some tea.

-I can't drink this.
-Drink.

Ugh!

[breathing heavily]

You're getting better.

I don't feel much better.

It's gonna take time.

Last night's ceremony
was very strong for you.

Here, drink.

-No. I don't...
-Drink!

And finish!

[whimpers weakly]

Now rest.

[sighs]

[gasps]

[groaning]

[screaming]

The man has power.

For good or for evil,
I cannot tell you.

Well, something's wrong,
Grandma. I felt it.

But your sister, she believes.

You've got to look out for her.

Who else was at
your healing, Grandma?

Well, there was me and Tanya,

and Daniel had
another young woman with him.

Very beautiful.

I don't know her name.

And after that night,
I never saw her again.

[telephone ringing]

Yeah.

That's the same ritual.

How did you know?

[Alex]I spoke
to Grandma tonight.

There was another woman
with Daniel. What was her name?

I don't know.

Anna.

Anna Jeonette. That's it.

Well, what happened to her?

She went with Daniel
after the ritual,

and then she didn't come back.

[Daniel] I call on you

to find the holder
of this bottle.

That they may be
disappeared before me

like thunder
and lightning.

My father,

who has the power
to move Earth,

I take you as my patron
from this day forward!

Find the holder of the bottle!

Rid me of their head!

Rid me of their thoughts!

Rid me of their memories!

Rid me of their house!

Rid me of my enemies,
invisible and visible,

and bring down on them
thunder and lightning!

In thine honor!

Daniel Euwara.

[inhales deeply]

[electricity crackling]

[yelling]

Whoa!

-Oh!
-[yelling]

[yells]

-Nick!
-Alex, stay back!

[Alex screams]

[panting]

-[Nick] Rachel!
-I know.

I know. Take it easy.

[shouts]

Okay. Just hold still.
I should take you to emergency.

I don't need to go to
the hospital. I'm fine.

All right, well,
then you're gonna do
exactly what I say, Nick.

You are gonna stay in bed
until I say you can move.

He's gonna live.

I'll stay and watch him,

make sure he doesn't
have a concussion.

-You all right?
-Yeah.

Well, Nick caught
the brunt of it.

Yeah. Whatever force
Daniel commands

came right through this

and attacked the first person
in the line of fire.

Well, he obviously
doesn't want us to be
checking up on him.

Did you try
to reach Tanya again?

Yeah. No answer.

Well, keep trying.

Derek, I wanna go
over there now.

Not without a plan.

Judging from
what just happened,

Daniel can kill any of us
if he puts his mind to it.

Literally.

Fortunately, Nick backed
everything up on optical drive.

I managed
to retrieve most of it.
That's the good news.

Well, show us the bad.

[Alex] I'm certain
this is one of the zombies

I saw with Daniel
at the healing ritual.

"Anna Jeonette,
a Haitian Creole

of Bakongo descent
on her father Thomas' side.

A renowned healer
in New York City
three years ago."

The exact same time
Daniel arrived there.

He must have seduced her
before he left New York.

What about the other one?

[Alex] Naomi Sabah from Zaire.

She traveled on the same plane
from London to New York
with Daniel.

After that,
she just disappeared.

But we still need proof.

Well, I found this
in the Baton Rouge Mercury.

[Rachel] "The unidentified
corpse of a woman was found
in a bayou graveyard

outside Baton Rouge.

The victim of ritual murder."

"These markings were found
on headstones nearby."

Central African cosmograms.

You recognize them?

Yes. I saw some of them

while I was researching this
in the archives.

A Legacy member recorded them
on the first explorations

of the Belgian Congo in 1849.

Dr. David Livingstone.

The Dr. David Livingstone,
I presume?

Precisely.

[Alex] So, Anna and Naomi
are the souls trapped
in the nkisi cauldron.

[Derek]
According to Livingstone,
these are invocations

to Lord Simbi,
ruler of the dead.

The cosmograms were
supposed to allow a warrior

to capture the souls
of his enemies slain in battle.

And if you knew someone

who had lost
his soul in battle,

then these were the cosmograms

that you would use
to get it back.

Exactly.

Legitimate African healers
harness the wandering spirits
of the already dead.

He's not a shaman.

He's a sorcerer.

Who becomes more powerful
with each new soul he enslaves.

Tanya.

He's gonna kill her.

And then, eventually, you.

That's why he wants you
to join him.

You're the only reason
he hasn't killed her already.

[telephone ringing]

Hello?

Yes, Daniel.

Why?

Okay.

I'll be there in half an hour.

He wants to meet me alone.

Tanya's getting worse.

-Where is she?
-Safe, for the moment.

You bastard! What did
you do to her?

It's not what I did to her
that's important.

It's what I can do for her now
that should concern you.

Tanya believes
in me, and only me.

And I can make her better.

-Well, then do it.
-On one condition.

I know your friends,

they don't trust me.
And I don't give a damn.

But if they continue
to interfere,

it just could affect
Tanya's recovery.

It damn well better not.

What's your condition?

You.

You're the key now, Alex.

You have to work with me.

Or your sister dies.

Show me what I have to do.

Tanya!

You're gonna be okay.
I promise you.

You'll be fine.

Now you belong to me.

Get the drum.

[Daniel chanting]

[coughing]

[ghostly screaming]

[coughing]

Oh, my God.
Tanya, you're okay!

[coughs]

And now,

you're mine.

-No, Daniel.
-Both of them.

No!

Now!

[Alex grunting]

Both of you to serve me.

Now why would I
settle for less?

From this night forward,

this is the form
in which you'll serve me!

And your souls
will be locked forever

-in this cauldron.
-Never!

[Daniel] Lord Simbi!

Lord Father!

I invoke you!

Take this woman!

So...

You've come

to join your friends
in bondage.

No.

To free them.

By your name,

Anna Jeonette.

By the names of your father,

Thomas, and your mother, Leah.

By your name, Naomi Sabah.

By the names
of your father, Khan.

No.

-And your mother, Leah.
-Don't listen!

By the names of
all your ancestors.

-You are hereby
free from slavery...
-No.

To this Mindoki witch
Daniel Euwara.

By these signs,

you are released!

No!

[Daniel screaming]

[Alex]My grandmother taught us
that our family was our magic,

able to overcome
all that stood in our way.

I used to wonder
what she meant.

Now I know.
