Original subtitles

[Derek] Rachel.

I'm out here.

So what do you think? Are we going to get a white Christmas?

In San Francisco?

Unlikely. Very unlikely.

Well, this is the Legacy House.

Stranger things have happened.

I really appreciate that you invited Kat and me to spend Christmas here.

Feels almost like family.

Last year was hell.

I didn't know how she would make it through another Christmas,

without her daddy and Connor.

Stop thanking me. My reasons are totally selfish.

It's just not Christmas without children around

and Kat's the only child I could find.

♪ On the seventh day of Christmas

♪ My true love gave to me♪

♪ Seven minutes of peace and quiet♪

Ooh! Chains have been rattling for you tonight, Ebenezer.

Bring it on. Anything but that stupid song.

Oh, look at you.

Those are the most adorable pajamas I have ever seen.

Thanks. Where's my mom?

[chuckling]

It's funny, isn't it?

I get paid all this money to help people deal with their emotions and...

I'm a basket case.

Well, I think, under the circumstances, you're doing fine.

Yeah.

Most of the time I am fine.

Then something happens.

Christmas happens.

I look at her little face,

and I feel inside me...

Well, that's why you're here tonight

with the people who love you.

Where do you think you're going, huh?

Put me down.

Kat?

Oh, honeybunch, what's wrong?

Uh-uh!

I see what's the matter.

We got one tired little girl here who needs to hurry up to bed.

Close your eyes, have sweet dreams,

so Santa Claus can bring her lots of--

There is no Santa Claus.

No Santa Claus? Of course there's a Santa Claus.

No, there's not. If there were, he can't give me what I want.

Oh, honey.

Well, I happen to know Mr. Claus personally.

Tell me what it is that you want and I'll go call him.

No? No, huh?

It's okay, come on. Let's go up the wooden hill.

Tell you what,

I'll bring you your hot chocolate and your cookies

to your room, okay?

[Derek] We had a very nice tradition in my family.

On Christmas Eve, my sister and I would get to open one gift.

Just one.

Ooh! That sounds good, doesn't it? What do you think?

-Shall we open one? -Okay.

Okay, go pick one out.

-[Kat] Can I open this one? -That one?

Hmm. Yes.

Who's it from?

-Doesn't say. -It doesn't say?

Well, maybe, there's another card down inside, what do you think?

Sure is pretty wrapping.

[gasps]

Wow!

Isn't that beautiful?

[Alex] Wow!

[man] Kitty Kat!

It's from Daddy, Mommy. It's from Daddy. He's here.

Shh!

[theme music playing]

I love you, Kitty Kat.

Daddy. Daddy! Daddy! [crying]

It's okay, it's all right.

Mommy's here, it's okay. You're all right.

Shh! Honey.

It's okay.

Sometimes, you miss people so much, you can see them, huh?

[Alex] You know what, Kat?

Whoever bought you this present loves you very much.

'Cause it's so beautiful.

And I personally love nesting dolls.

Why don't you say, you open it up,

and you what the next one is. Okay?

I don't care what any of you think.

It's from my daddy. It is!

[Alex] Poor baby.

It was a lovely gift though.

Yeah, it certainly is.

But it's not from me.

My little angel, I miss him too.

I miss both of them.

Do you know something? You were right.

Daddy and Connor are here.

They're right here, right inside our hearts.

[sniffles]

When you have as much love as the four of us had,

it can't go away.

It just stays there forever.

So when you need a little extra,

it's always right there.

Don't! Leave me alone.

I saw what you did. You were with Derek, I saw you.

-What did you see? -You know what I saw!

You kissed him! You can't kiss me ever again! Ever!

Okay. Okay. I'm not gonna kiss you.

And I'm not gonna stop loving you, Katherine.

-Alex... -Shh!

Sorry.

Alex put some hot chocolate in a Thermos in the kitchen,

so, if either of you would like some--

No, no, no, thanks. Listen, Derek.

We got caught, that's what she was acting up about.

-Oh, Rachel, I'm sorry. -No, hey.

You don't have to apologize to me, I was there, remember?

I mean,

I don't know exactly what happened, but...

it happened.

At least I can't say I was drinking too much.

Anyway, I can handle her having seen us.

But what really worries me is that

she truly believes she saw her daddy.

Maybe she did.

Don't, Derek, this is way too close to home.

You're right.

Get some sleep.

Sweet dreams.

Derek.

Merry Christmas.

Look, Connor. Daddy gave her to me for Christmas.

I named her... Angelica.

Thank you, Daddy. I love her.

You haven't met Samantha yet, have you?

I left her downstairs.

No, Samantha, don't cry.

I'm sorry.

That's right, you saw my daddy too, didn't you?

Did you see what he gave me?

Isn't she beautiful?

My mommy doesn't believe me

that Daddy came here and gave her to me.

What?

You're absolutely right, Sam.

He didn't let Mommy see him

because of what she and Derek did.

He's probably as mad as I am. Maybe even madder.

[clears throat]

Oh, Kat, I didn't mean to frighten you.

I didn't even know you were down here.

I just wanted to turn off all the lights for the night.

You know, I understand what you're going through.

I really do.

I was just a little bit older than you when I lost my father.

For a long time,

Christmas was very hard for me too.

Just didn't feel like Christmas without him.

But Daddy was here tonight. He gave me this.

I don't care if you believe me or not.

Well, I don't know if he was here or not.

But I believe you saw him.

And I believe that angel is from him.

Your daddy loved you very, very much.

And if he'd knew that you wanted an angel,

he would make sure that you got one.

My daddy was here tonight, I saw him.

Crying is okay.

Feeling bad is okay.

I'll tell you a secret.

It's what we're supposed to do.

Come on. I'll tuck you back in.

I don't want you to tuck me back in.

All right, then I'll just walk you to your door. How's that?

I'll go in a few minutes.

I'm not quite ready yet.

Okay.

Just a few minutes then.

You'll turn off the decorations, right?

I don't like him anymore. Neither does Angelica.

Do you hate him too?

Good.

Want to see what's inside Angelica?

Okay.

Look how beautiful Angelica's baby is.

Wow!

Bah!

[Kat screams]

Connor?

Hi, Kat.

This is a dream. You're not really here.

I am.

-Touch me. -No! Go away!

Stop scaring me. You're dead.

Yeah, I am.

But you weren't afraid of Dad. He's dead too, you know.

I know. But he's Daddy. So that's different.

Why? I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to play.

Like the way we used to before Daddy and I...

went away.

You are here.

That's what you asked Santa for. Isn't it?

[Kat] ...1,099, 1,100.

Ready or not? Here I come.

Connor. Are you over here?

I know where you are.

Boo!

Connor. Are you cheating?

We're not supposed to leave the parlor, you know.

Connor, you have to say if you're cheating.

Those are the rules.

You're it!

Time out! Time out!

[sighs] What's the problem?

I want to talk about something.

Talk? About what?

About being dead.

What's the matter?

Well, being dead is very...

lonely.

I miss you. And I miss Mom.

I miss you too. So does Mommy.

She doesn't like me to know, but she cries.

A lot.

I wish I could talk to her.

Come on. She's upstairs.

No, I don't mean see her.

I can do that whenever I want.

I mean talk to her, like what me and you are doing.

-Have you ever tried? -Yeah.

But she can't hear me or see me or anything.

Can you, like, write on a mirror or something like that?

It doesn't work that way.

I don't understand it yet, but...

there's these sort of rules, you know.

And even when you're dead,

they still treat you like a little kid.

You mean, if you don't grow up while you're alive,

you don't get to grow up at all?

I guess.

Do you get to see Daddy?

Yeah. A lot.

I saw him tonight. I did.

I know. He brought me here.

Is he coming back?

He gets really sad after he sees you or Mommy.

Does he, like,

kiss anyone?

Kiss anyone?

We're dead, dummy.

You don't kiss anyone after you're dead.

Time in.

[both laughing]

Someone's heard us.

They're coming.

I don't hear anything.

We can hide.

Come on.

Check this out.

[wind howling]

Be right back.

[thud]

Ow!

Being a ghost is really fun sometimes.

Watch this.

[thumping]

Is this great or what?

I got this guy running around

like a chicken with his head cut off.

I don't think it's very nice. I like Nick. He's my friend.

Your friend?

You really think he's not gonna tell Mommy about this?

About you being out of bed all night?

Wanna bet?

[gasps] It's me.

Sorry I woke you.

What the hell are you doing?

I heard some strange noises and came down to check it out.

With a gun?

With a gun.

"And then from the roof I heard such a clatter

I jumped from my bed to see what was the matter"

I thought you believed in Santa Claus, Nick.

Very funny.

Well, did you at least check if Kat was still awake

before you began this...

search and destroy mission?

[knocking]

Come in.

Rachel. Is Kat in here with you?

She's not in her room.

Kat?

Kat?

Kat?

-What's going on? -I don't know where Kat is.

Kat?

Kat?

All right, young lady, you've got until the count of ten.

You're in trouble now. Mom is really mad.

-[Rachel] One... -I'm gonna get grounded for a year.

...two, three...

You gotta help me hide. She'll look here.

Come with me, we'll go find Daddy.

-Can I? -Sure.

If I do, will I be dead too?

Don't be stupid. I wouldn't do that to you.

But if you're coming, come on.

...seven, eight,

nine, ten.

Gotcha!

I don't get it.

It's her favorite hiding place.

I'm telling you, Rachel. I've looked everywhere.

Alex, go check the tapes

for the exterior security cameras.

Nick, scour the basement. Again.

You know, she's just hiding to punish me

and you.

No, I don't think so.

Well, you're wrong.

I'm gonna go look upstairs again.

-Hang on, darling. No, please no. No! -[Rachel screaming]

You know what, Connor? I like it on this side.

Maybe I'll just stay here with you and Daddy and never go back.

I'll show her.

So nobody can hear us or see us? Cool.

[Derek] Nothing, right?

"Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse"

No one's been in or out

since Kat and Rachel arrived this afternoon.

No one who would show up on videotape anyway.

[Alex] You really do think it was Patrick, don't you?

Yes. And possibly the brother as well. I believe he's taken Kat.

[Connor] Watch this.

[Kat giggles] Wow!

I can't get control.

Connor, this is fun.

They're here.

All right. Disneyland is closed for the night, kids.

Stop all this right now.

Come back to this side, Kat.

Come on, let's get out of here.

[Kat] Okay.

Damn it.

I think I scared them off.

[Rachel] Kat?

Katherine, this isn't funny anymore.

[Kat] Kat, this isn't funny anymore.

I'm getting really upset.

I'm getting really upset.

Don't do this, honey, not on Christmas.

[both] Don't do this, honey, not on Christmas.

Kat.

You up there?

Kat?

If you're mad at me, then we need to talk about it.

This isn't the way to handle it, you know.

If I have to come up there and get you,

you're gonna be in big trouble, young lady.

Why are you mad at her anyway?

[Kat] I can't tell you. I can only tell Daddy.

Kat.

Rachel, listen to me.

Kat has gone over to the other side.

-That's ridiculous. -Well, I'm sure of it.

They just freaked out in the control room.

-"They"? -I believe she's with your son.

That he brought her over there.

Derek, what are you, out of your mind?

First you tell me that Patrick's here.

Now you tell me that Connor's here.

Just enough, all right? Please.

She's mad at me.

She's hiding somewhere in this house.

You understand what I'm saying?

If you knew anything about children, you'd understand that,

and you'd help me find her.

Kat.

-Find Nick. -All right.

Kat?

Kat.

Come on out, honey.

Where are you, Kat? Come on out.

Kat?

Come on out, honey.

Mom's worried about you.

I hate it down here. It's spooky.

I think it's kind of cool. It's a good place to scare people.

[Nick] Kat?

Watch this.

No!

Why'd you do that?

I'm a ghost. It's what we're supposed to do.

Rachel, stop.

You are the only one who can get her back.

Derek, give it a break, okay?

This is my daughter we're talking about,

not some tortured soul stalking through one of your Legacy cases.

Rachel, you are not one of the uninitiated.

You know the powers of the spirit world.

If Kat's on the other side,

she's probably with Connor or Patrick.

My guess is Connor, because of his childish behavior

that Alex and I witnessed.

If she stays there too long,

we may never get her back.

Every second she's there, her feelings for life wane.

Children don't have the necessary tools

to fight off these forces that exist there.

She'll get consumed and not want to come back.

You need to appeal to Connor and Patrick to make her come back.

You know...

What really scares me, Derek, is that

you actually believe every word you just said.

Yes. I do.

[Alex] Nick?

Derek wants you upstairs.

Kat's in trouble.

Let's go.

The door is locked.

Well, don't blame me, I left it open.

Can't you just kick it in,

or do whatever it is you macho guys do?

Break two inches of oak? You got a sledgehammer handy?

Derek!

[Kat giggling]

[Derek] She's not in the house.

We've searched every square inch. And she never left the house,

or she would have been seen on the surveillance tape.

You are asking me to admit that she might be gone.

Lost.

Derek,

I have only truly loved three people in my whole life.

Two of them are dead.

And if...

And if Kat is with them...

[knocking on door]

Have you got her?

-[Derek] Hold on. -Did you find her?

[Derek] I'll open it.

-How did this happen? -Ghosts.

[Rachel] Did you find her? Is she...

It's Connor and Kat, Rachel. There's no question about it.

She's gone over to the other side.

[crying]

-I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry. -No!

Please, Connor, let me go back!

Connor won't let me go back, Mommy!

-Connor, please, let me go. -No.

If I have to be dead, then so do you.

No. Mommy. Mommy, no! Mommy! Mommy...

[faint voices]

Listen.

I don't hear anything.

Shh!

[Kat in distance] Mommy!

-Rachel? -Mommy! Help me!

Kat is crying out to you, I can hear her.

Mommy, I want to come back.

Please, Mommy, make Connor bring me back.

She's getting weaker.

She wants your help.

Mommy!

-Stop it! -Let me go!

I don't want you to go back.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

Connor won't let her come back.

[Kat] Mommy! Help me!

Rachel, look at me.

You're losing her. Call out to her.

To Connor.

Let them know you know they're here.

Kat, can you hear me?

Mommy, help me.

[Connor] No, I don't want to be alone.

Connor is taking her.

Tell him to leave her here.

Connor?

[Derek] Tell him, Rachel.

Little boy.

I love you so much.

And I miss you every single day.

-Mommy! -If you miss me so much,

why didn't you die with us?

Me and Dad can't come back, but you can come with us.

-He's very angry. -[Rachel] Connor,

it's really important that you listen to your mommy now.

You can't take Kat, Connor. You can't have her now.

-It's not time. -If I don't get to grow up,

-why should she? -[Kat crying]

Patrick!

No! No, don't call Daddy.

-No! -Patrick!

Where are you?

Please. You promised me, Patrick.

We promised each other we'd always be there.

I need you, Patrick.

He's here.

Where?

Daddy?

Oh, sweetie.

You promised, kiddo.

You promised if I left you here to play,

you wouldn't do anything like this.

-I just... -I know why you did it.

But you promised.

You kids make up.

Say goodbye to Kat, then out of here.

Bye, Kat.

Bye, Connor.

[sniffles]

Don't be mad at him, Kitty Kat.

He's very sad and very lonely.

He'll never get to grow up and he's very angry about that.

And that's why you have to go back and see Mommy.

Could you maybe let Mommy see you sometimes?

She misses you.

I know she does.

And I miss her too.

Kat!

[Kat] You have to stay here. Mommy kissed...

[Patrick] Derek?

I know about that, Kat.

See, Mommy's alive. She has a life to lead.

We're both sad we can't be together anymore, but...

[Kat] I don't understand.

Well, let's go over to the window.

I've got something I want to show you.

What's happening? Derek, where is she?

Look.

That's Mommy and me before you or Connor were born.

I'll show you.

What's wrong?

We've lost her.

Kat?

[Rachel] This place is so incredibly beautiful.

I love it here.

[Patrick] I have to paint your picture.

I don't think painting pictures is gonna cut it.

Okay, then. What do you suggest?

[Rachel] You know what I want?

I want you to make me one of those crystal balls.

You know what I mean?

The glass balls with a scene inside of it.

All you have to do is turn it upside down

and shake it, then it snows.

[both chuckle]

You need a souvenir, huh? Of this place?

You plan on forgetting?

[Rachel] I think for some reason I should remember this place.

Oh, I don't know, I just kind of thought

that maybe since we started something special here,

-maybe-- -You know what?

Maybe 'cause I love you more than life itself...

maybe I'll remember this place without a memento.

Hmm?

Do you know how much I love you?

Tell me.

You want my love?

You want my life, Rachel?

Forever?

Now can you understand any better, Kat?

Can you?

Do you see how much your mom and I loved each other?

And always will.

That's why it's better that she doesn't see me.

It would hurt her too much.

You could bring Mommy here.

I can't do that.

Yes, you can. Just like Connor did. I'm here.

If you bring Mommy here, we can all be together again.

No, kidlet, it doesn't work that way.

Yes, it can.

-You have to go back. -No!

Kat!

Kat!

Mommy!

Mommy, help!

Mommy...

...then we can all be together again.

She's here. Call out to her. Ask her to come back.

Call her. There's not much time.

[crying]

[Rachel] Katherine.

It's not time for you to be with Daddy and Connor now.

We love you, Mommy. Come to us, Mommy.

[Rachel] You deserve to live, little girl.

To kiss a boy and walk down the aisle,

and hold your own baby in your arms.

And then, after you live your whole life,

then you can go.

And we'll all be together again.

She's right, Kitty Kat.

You have to stay here for now,

take real good care of her for me.

Give her lots of love, lots of big hugs and kisses.

Mommy's very lonely, Kat.

She needs you.

Keep on talking.

[Rachel] Come back, baby.

Come back to Mommy.

Make Mommy come with us. Make her, please!

Baby, I can't do that.

[Kat in distance] Then you have to stay. Please, Daddy.

God decided to take us and leave you and Mommy here.

And it's okay.

Okay?

I love you, Kitty Kat.

I love you too, Daddy.

Goodbye, Kitty Kat.

Daddy?

[Kat] Mommy!

[laughs]

Mommy!

-Kat? -[Kat] Mommy!

I'm coming, honey.

[Kat] Mommy! Mommy, make Daddy come back with me!

-[Rachel] Kat. Kat. Shh! -Mommy! Mommy!

[Kat] Mommy. Mommy.

[Rachel] There you are, little girl. Oh, baby.

Wake up. See, you're okay.

You're just having a nightmare, aren't you?

Yeah, this has been a nightmare for all of us.

Mommy. They were here, Connor and Daddy. They had to go.

Please make them come back.

Oh, baby.

I wish it was that easy.

I looked down here. She wasn't in there.

There's no way that she could have unlocked and locked the door.

I know.

Here's your angel.

It's Daddy's angel.

You're Daddy's angel.

Merry Christmas, little girl.

Merry Christmas, Mommy.

[Alex] Try to get some sleep. All right?

[Rachel] You, too. Thanks. [Alex] Okay, sweetie.

[Nick] Good night.

Merry Christmas.

-Sleep tight. -[Nick] Yeah.

[sighs] You're good, Derek.

You're real good.

Sucked me right in, didn't you?

Your own personal brand of mass hysteria.

But, Derek, the basement.

She was in the basement.

I asked you not to turn this into a ghost story, but no, no.

You couldn't do that, could you?

If I was wrong, I would apologize.

But you have to know one thing, Rachel Corrigan,

I would never ever intentionally hurt you.

Never.

[door opens and closes]

[sniffles]

[Derek] Christmas Eve.

We had the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.

We had sorrow and happiness. Grief and joy.

Loss and reunion, and love and jealousy.

The jealousy was mine.

It's funny. I've hated ghosts,feared them, been awed by them.

This is the first time I've ever been envious.

I wonder if I'll ever be lucky enough to have a family

who will love me that much.
