[man chanting]

[chanting continues]

[prisoners chattering]

Okay, Romero,
you know the drill.
Let's see those hands.

Now, stand up there,
face the wall like a good boy,

and I'll put supper
on the table.

[Romero] It's harvest time.

[orderly] I'll alert
the media, Romero.

Death springs new life,
and the alignment has shown us
that time is now

and all our questions
will be answered.

Yeah, well, I didn't ask, okay.

No, I know, but you
don't understand.

I really don't need
to understand.

It doesn't matter. Who cares?

But, you see,
all the answers
are in this book.

Well, doesn't matter
about the book.

[grunts]

[grunting]

[choking]

Please forgive me.
I'm a little rusty at this.

Show me.

Show me!

[thunder rumbling]

[Rachel] Dr. Corrigan.

Hello?

Who's there?

Hello?

Hello?

[theme music playing]

I don't wanna go back.

I don't wanna go back
to any reunion.

But it's very important
to your wife, isn't it?

It's her college reunion

and you said that she was
really looking forward
to the trip.

I don't like
any of those people.

Do you know why you don't like
any of them, Arnold?

They don't like me.

They never did.

So they won't now.

I mean, why do I wanna go
all the way back to Connecticut

to hang out with a bunch of
people who don't really wanna
hang out with me?

A bunch of doctors and lawyers
and stock brokers,

and me, the glamorous CPA.

Am I boring you?

No. Sorry.

Of course you're not boring me.

Please go on.

Well, I feel like such a loser.

I feel like everyone
has done better than me
with their lives.

Arnold.

There's another voice
inside of you, isn't there,

telling you
that you're a loser?

I don't know.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

No. And...

Look, I don't know.

All I know is that
she had her friends in school,

I had my friends.

My friends didn't like
her friends,

her friends didn't like me
or my friends.

Why should I let what I think
they think of me ruin my life?

Hell, I'm going to do it.

-What's wrong?
-Nothing.

I just... You know, I think
you've made the right decision.

And...

And we gotta... stop here.

I just want you to think about
what you've just said.

-I still have ten minutes.
-I know, and...

You know, it would
really help me right now,

'cause something's just come up
and I'd like to deal with it.

So, I'm gonna
see you next week.

Have a wonderful trip, Arnold.

Here you go. Some more journal
articles written about her.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Do you know
this doctor personally?

I'm an admirer. Well, I'm
actually a really big fan.

Did you have any luck
with her university thesis yet?

It's on microfiche
somewhere I'm sure.

I'll try to find it
as soon as I get

some of these returns
back on the shelves.

I'm sorry.

Really, I'm so rude.

You've been such a big help.
I'm monopolizing all your time.

It's all right. It's my job.

To be honest, this is
the most excitement
I've had all day.

I'll let you in
on a little secret.

Libraries are boring.
No fun at all.

No. No, they're not boring.
I love them.

I love coming to libraries.

The solitude and the books,
and all the words...

Guess it depends on
what you come to
libraries for, doesn't it?

Yeah.

I know this might sound
a little forward, but...

you've been such a big help.

Can I take you for lunch?

Sure. I'm off in 20 minutes.

Great. And then maybe we could
find something fun to do.

Yeah.

I love your bangs.

Thank you.

[thunder rumbling]

Thanks for coming, Derek,
I really appreciate it.

I wasn't about to
let you make this drive
all by yourself in the dark.

Besides, it's not
the first time
that Legacy business

has kept us up
all night, is it?

He was a patient of mine
some years ago.

Steven Romero.

But a year after
our sessions began,

he was arrested and charged
with five counts of murder.

His lawyers saved him
from the gas chamber
with an insanity plea.

He was committed
to a mental institution
for life.

Are you sure he sent this?

Absolutely!

I recognized the handwriting.

This is his trademark.

He sent me these
even after he was charged.

Sounds like he was obsessed.

A severe case of transference.

One of the most severe
and compulsive I've ever seen.

So you became the embodiment
of an unrequited love?

Exactly.
And by the looks of it,
I still am.

And it's safe to assume
that Romero is still
a very dangerous man.

Obviously...

he knows where I live.

[orderly] You're here
bright and early, Dr. Corrigan.

We normally don't get visitors
at the crack of dawn.

I know. I wanted to come
as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, I won't be able
to give you a lot of time.

I've got state
and federal officials
crawling on my back over this.

I understand.
We won't take
much of your time.

All right, wait here a second.

I forgot places like this
still exist.

This is actually
one of the better facilities
of its kind.

Well, then I'd
hate to see the worst.

[inmate] It's you!

Yes.

It's you.

It's you. It's you.

[orderly] This way, please.

This is Romero's cell.

Why wasn't he restrained?

Believe it or not,
he was a model inmate
for seven years.

Never aggressive or violent,
until yesterday.

All he ever did was read.

Burial rituals,
cult references.

Clinical and ethological texts.

All about death.

Death was his hobby.

His profession
it seems, Doctor.

You actually let him
read these books?

Even serial killers
have civil rights, Doctor.

Look under the desk drawer.

That's why
I called you, Doctor.

Was he close to anyone?

Any other inmates?

One other inmate.
Seth Gunderson.

If you wanna talk to him,
you're gonna have to
be careful.

Gunderson's, uh,
how should I say this?

Devoid of social skills.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

You were his doctor,
weren't you?

Yes, I was.

You didn't even
need to tell me.

I can see it in your brain.

That's my gift.
Seeing people's brains.

I used to have to
cut them out,
but now...

Now I can see
right through the skull.

It's a very handy skill.

I'm sure it is.

[chuckles]

I want to talk about
Steven Romero.

Steven is my mentor.

And what did he
teach you exactly?

Oh!

How to see the glory of death.

How to live without fear of it.

We travel through life
with death ever constant.

We need to know
how to deal with it.

Steven taught me
how to search
the eyes of others

at the exact instant of death.

To watch their souls depart.

But you know all this already.

Don't you?

You're her.

You're the one.

The one who showed him.

He talked about you constantly.

[chuckles] Oh, man!

He has so much respect for you.

You showed him.

Showed him what?

[Rachel gasps]

You showed him the way!

He's looking for you right now.

Isn't that funny?

You're here,
and he's out there...

looking for you.

Thank you.

That was really,
really wonderful.

Really, really wonderful.

Rulers of the underworld,

heed to the prayer
of your believer.

I beseech you,

ensure my return from the dead.

Ensure on my return
from the dead.

The runes have shown us,

the alignment
is on us for sure.

The time is now.

As planting is to the harvest,
as the night is to the day

and the winter is to summer,

from death...

Rebirth!

Take this, my sacrifice,

to you O holy mighties
of the ground, as an offering.

Please, I beseech you,
ensure my return from the dead,

so that I too may
make it my beloved.

Show me the way.

Show me the way.

[shouting] Yes!

Show me the way!

Show me the way!

Show me the way!

Show me the way.

[ghostly screams]

Yes. Yes.

[laughs]

I am ready.

Rachel. Rachel.

Oh, Rachel.

[Frank] As usual,
your being here

is strictly confidential,
right, Derek?

Absolutely fine.

Romero didn't waste any time
getting back in the business.

Victim's name is Mary Jones,

41, librarian, university,
central branch.

We found the body
on the beach
at dawn today.

And you're certain
he did this?

[Frank] Witnesses
confirm seeing her
leave early yesterday

with a man matching
Romero's description...

when this turned up.

I thought you'd
want to know right away.

Yeah, thanks.

Always appreciate your calls.

Frank has known
about The Legacy
for many years.

What I need to know.

What I don't need to know,
I don't ask.

Derek saved my life
a few years back,

something with fangs and claws

that we don't have
a police code for.

Estic shapeshifter.

All right, okay.

Anyway, something like this
comes along, Derek's the man.

Looks like a human sacrifice.

Pyre, makeshift altar...

same pattern
from Romero's cell wall.

I'd like to study these.

We'll get you copies.

Dr. Corrigan,

we can provide you
with police protection
if you like.

Thanks, Detective, but...

You know, in this case,
I think I'm actually
in better hands.

He was one of
my first patients.

He's terrified of death

to the point of
being agoraphobic.

He was too frightened
to even leave the house.

Wouldn't drive a car for fear
that he had an accident.

-Did you ever find out why?
-Mm-hmm.

When he was six,
his father had a heart attack

and died right in front of him.

So, he had
a morbid fear of death,

and you used,
what'd you call it,
systematic--

Desensitization. Right, it was
an accepted form of therapy.

I gave him books
on the subject,

I even invited him
to join a group therapy session

with terminally ill patients.

I just wanted him
to know that death
is a normal part of life.

And he took to the subject
a little too eagerly.

Yeah, there was
this one patient...

she had cancer.

And he was there
when she died.

It fascinated him.

He wanted to watch it
over and over and over.

He murdered three people
while he was my patient.

Romero made a human sacrifice,
an ancient pagan ritual. Why?

Well, let's see.

In most ancient cultures
where ritual sacrifice
is practiced,

it was usually done
as a petitioning to the gods.

So, if Romero
is petitioning the gods,

what does he want,
besides Rachel?

Well, here's something.

These stone patterns
cross-reference

with our ancient
text on Celtic mysteries.

Many of the pagan cosmologies
tell that stones and crystals

could be imbued with
great spiritual energies.

Right, like Stonehenge.

Precisely!

But druidic ritual magic
didn't usually entail
human sacrifice, did it?

You know, I get the feeling

that Romero is
making this religion up
as he goes along.

Yes.

Yes, it seems he's been
cobbling bits and pieces

of different occult practices

into his own
perverse system of magic.

Would that work?

Well, it only matters
that Romero believes it does.

That's what magic really is.

So why'd you keep these?

Well, I tried to
throw them away,
but I didn't--

You know,
taken together, they're
a really fascinating study

of a personality disintegrating
over a short period of time.

You could almost put them
in a textbook.

Well, there's more to it
than that, isn't there?

How did they finally catch him?

They found him
with his fifth victim.

Carla Willots.

She was my best friend from AA.

[camera shutter clicking]

When I got there,
they were taking him away.

I misdiagnosed him, Nick.

And people died.

You can't blame yourself
for his psychotic behavior.

Obviously, he was
an accomplished liar.

He never told you
the truth about himself.

But I should have recognized
what was going on with him.

I should have seen
what he was becoming.

It's my job.

-[alarm beeping]
-[keys clacking]

[beeping]

That's odd.

Somebody's inside
the perimeter fence.

Nick, it's him.

He's here.

Mr. Romero.

You're trespassing.

Ooh! I'm scared.

The fence behind you
is electrified.

I have something
for Rachel Corrigan.

Whatever it is,
she doesn't want it.

There's no need for violence.
It's a note.

You see, it's a card.

Rachel.

Rachel.

I've missed you so much.

You filled my heart
with so much love,

and you showed me the way.

Come. Come closer, please.

What do you want, Steven?

An offering, for you.

Just for you.
I've waited eight years
to give you this.

And I want to show you the way.

Like you showed that guard
back at the asylum?

The way you showed
that poor librarian?

Or Carla?

Oh, no, no.
Carla I did for you.

Just for you. I...

I wanted to show you
my commitment.

Give it up, Romero.
You're going back.

I want you to
keep your eyes on me

and don't take them off,
okay, Rachel?

Watch me the whole way.

You need to see this.

Excuse me!

I'm sorry. I...

I thought you were
somebody else. I'm sorry.

[bell ringing]

[kids chattering]

Hi, Mommy.

Hi, Kate.

Are you okay?

Me? Sure.

I'm fine.
Just a little bit tired.

I had a pretty hard night
last night.

With Derek and everybody else?

That's right. With Derek
and everybody.

I wish we had
a more normal life.

You and me both, honey.
You and me both.

Come on, let's go.

Mom, stop pushing.
Why are we in
such a hurry, anyway?

Come on.

Just... Just stay here.

[gasps]

Kat?

Come on, honey.

Oh, man.

[Nick] Hey.

Thanks. Oh, man.

I'm just...
This house is
spooking me.

What's the problem?
You all right?

Yeah. I'm glad
you're here, that's all.

I've just been meaning
to catch up on my late-night
TV watching anyhow.

Hey, Nick.

Hey, kiddo. How you doing?

-I'm cool.
-Yeah?

Mom's wiggin'.

Yeah, well, Moms wig sometimes.
It's part of their job.

You are supposed to be
in bed, young lady.

I came down here to see Nick.

Why don't we do
some reading or something?

-Okay.
-All right?

Have a cup of tea, relax.
I'll chill out with kiddo.

[Romero] Runes have shown us.

Alignment is on.

Time is now!

As planting is to harvest,

as the night is to day,

as winter is to summer,

from death to rebirth.

I've come for you...

my beloved Rachel.

[door creaks open]

Rachel...

You kept your
dead husband's pajamas.
That's so touching.

Death... I should never
have been afraid, Rachel.

It's just so much more
than I could have ever expected
and hoped for.

I mean, there's nothing lost.

It's so beautiful.

And you helped me see that.

And now, I wanna show you
exactly what I see.

Nick!

Nick!

I want you with me
because I need you.

But, to truly be with me,

you have to want it.

You have to do it yourself.

Do it yourself.

[knocks on door]

Rachel?

Rachel?

Rachel!

So much for privacy.

[Rachel yells]

Oh, Nick. Oh, God.

-You saw him, right?
-Yeah, I saw him.

It's okay.

If I didn't know you
as well as I do,

I'd think you were crazy.

I wanted you to be aware of it.

So what are we supposed to do?
Use silver bullets?

Sometimes,
the right information
can be just as effective.

Well, this is as much of
Romero's original trial
as I could dig up.

Now, technically, this stuff's
not supposed to see
the light of day

until the case
is officially closed,

or until you can
produce a writ.

But under the circumstances,

seeing as how I'm the guy that
pulled Romero's charred corpse

off your back fence
the other night,

I'm gonna go out
on a little bit of a limb here
for you.

How would you like to go
all the way out
on a limb for me?

Yeah?

The rocks Romero used
in his ritual sacrifice.

Ordinary quartz crystal.

No particular value
except for some interesting
crystal formations.

-Can I have them?
-What for?

I'm not sure yet,
but I think I'll be
needing them.

Well, it's a real big favor
to be calling in, Derek.

How the hell am I supposed
to get 'em out of here?

I'll handle it, if you let me.

Is Kat okay?

Yeah, she's finally
asleep again.

Nick's watching her upstairs.

Ah! Life of a serial killer.

Dead serial killer,

turned corporeal ghost.

Corporeal ghost. Now there's
a contradiction in terms.

Well, judging by your
last encounter with him,

I don't think Mr. Romero
is of a mind to clarify
his situation

for the benefit of The Legacy.

High school yearbook,

picture of his dog.

So where do we start?

Well, let's start with
why he came back.

What's the number one cause
of a haunting?

The person died
with unresolved issues.

Yeah, but that's not
Steven Romero.

He is very resolved
about being dead.

In fact, he likes it so much,
he'd like me to join the party.

Well, he used
an occult ritual

to ensure he'd return
in corporeal form,

so if we could decipher it,
we might be able to
use it against him.

Yeah, but that still leaves us
with two questions.

Where to use it and when?

The solution to stopping Romero
might just be in here.

[Rachel] A.R.

Anthony Romero.

His father, he died
in front of Steven
when he was a little boy.

That's the incident
that triggered his phobia
about death.

This is his watch.

[Steven singing]

♪ D-A-D-D-Y♪

♪ Daddy is my friend♪

♪ Daddy, Daddy♪

♪ Love you till the end♪

[Romero] Alcohol made it
so much easier, didn't it?

You know, people,
they spend decades

slowly trying to
kill themselves with alcohol.

Well, you sort of
almost did, didn't you?

Have you thought
about my proposition?

-Go to hell!
-I don't have the directions.

Rachel, I so know you now.

I do.

I'm around you, I sense you.

I... I need you.

And don't tell me that you have
not thought about suicide.

Maybe even more than once.

Yes, but living
is better, Steven.

There will be
fewer people alive

unless we can
resolve this situation.

I thought you only wanted me.

Why do you have to
kill anybody else?

I'm doing them a favor,
like I wanna do for you.

Carla Willots
and the librarian...

Rachel, when their soul
exits through their eyes,

it is something.

It's because of
your little girl, isn't it?

You would miss her too much.

Well, maybe
it's gonna be easier
if she were just... gone.

What's wrong?

Romero was downstairs.

And he was here.

Romero's message is clear.

In his present state,
he can take you
anytime he wants to.

Or any one of us.

Yeah, but he hasn't.
He's obsessed.

He's only interested
in you at this point.

The stone pattern
seems to associated
in pre-Celtic legend

with the coming of summer.

Summer means rebirth.

So there must be a pattern

and a legend for winter,
season of death.

I could probably find it.

That means we need a sacrifice.

Sacrifice can be symbolic,
and be just as effective.

Well, something
meaningful to Romero
will serve our purpose.

[Nick groans]

Well, it's been
really interesting
listening to you guys,

-but we're gonna
get some ice cream.
-Yeah.

Ice cream, huh?

Don't worry about it.
I'll watch kiddo.

-What are we gonna do?
-[Kat] Ice cream, ice cream.

We all scream for ice cream.

Derek, in the library,
Romero talked about
Carla again.

Of all the people he's killed,

her death
is the most significant.

It's probably
because of how deeply
it affected you, Rachel.

And this Valentine
is the one that he sent me
before he killed Carla.

He's telling us something.

He's telling me
where he wants me to die.

[Romero] You remembered.

It's our special place.

Only in your mind, Steven.

This place is special
to you too.

I mean, we bonded here.

You kidnapped Carla.

You brought her here,
you killed her.

You made the 911 call yourself.

And you came back here
and waited.

When I got here,
they were taking you away.

This is where you faced death,
for the first time, yeah?

How did that make you feel?

Responsible.

Look.

It's cyanide.

Take it.

It's quick,
it's clean, it's fast.

It's pure. All that pain.

Carla, and your whole life
will just disappear.

Take it.

Maybe I don't want it
to go away.

Oh, but you do.

I know you do,
'cause I know you really well.

And I know you've
thought about death
many, many, many times,

so that pain
inside of your body

will just disappear
for all you want.

Pain is part of life, Steven.
I tried to teach you that.

Do you remember,
in our sessions,

you'd look at me
and you would say,

"Pretend that I'm your coach.

And we're gonna play a game
and the game is life."

Look at me.

Look at me.

Let's play a game.
I'm your coach and this game

is death.

I love you. Take the cyanide.

You're not gonna
haunt me, Steven.

You made me who I am.

I didn't create you.
Not any of this.

I don't want to talk about me.

Us! Us!

You and me, the future.

There's no future,
Steven, only the past.

Only a little boy
who's so scared
watching his daddy die.

You never
came to terms with that.

I have no patience left.

Put it in your mouth,

or I will kill you.

You're not my patient anymore.

Run!

Your hour's up, Steven.

This is over.

Right here, right now.

You're just gonna
walk through the park?

Should I just disappear
and pop up in front of you

or are we gonna hold hands?

This is not gonna
stop now, Rachel.

Rachel!

You think this will stop me?

No, you're right.
One thing's missing.

A meaningful sacrifice.

It's your father's watch,
Steven.

He fell down
and broke the crystal.

You watched him gasping
and dying on the floor.

You didn't know
what to do, Steven.

Oh, no.

[young Steven singing]

♪ D-A-D-D-Y♪

I don't know this.

This is gonna hurt too much.

You told me
all the pain goes away,

and all the guilt too, Steven.

Take it. Take it!

Take this away!

Don't you remember
how helpless you felt--

Why are you doing this to me?

-There you were, all alone...
-Agh! Agh!

-Oh, God!
-...watching your father die.

Rachel!

Take it away!

He died at exactly 4:32
in the afternoon.

You betrayed me!

Summer is over, Romero.

Agh! Agh!

You tricked me, Rachel!

Agh!

[Romero screaming]

[Rachel] The moment of death

is something
every living being
must face.

Some believe it represents
a new beginning.

Some people can't
face the prospect

that it's the end
of everything.

And some, like Steven Romero,

would make it
their very reason for living.

Thank God for The Legacy.
