[thunder rumbles]

Okay, Kat, one more story.

Uh-huh. Yeah, it can be any story you want.

Then you have to let Emily put you to bed, right?

That's a good girl, honey.

I love you too.

Sleep tight.

[Alex] Spending the night?

[sighs] Yeah, no choice.

Nick and I have got some things we have to go over

on this Geneva Project and he's not back yet.

-Where is he? -I don't know.

He went across the Bay this morning to get a part for his car,

and then ended up having to go down to San Jose and...

Not how he planned to spend his day.

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night...

Will stop him from getting from zero to 60 in under eight seconds.

[both laugh]

[thunder crashes]

[woman] Get away from me!

Leave me alone. [sobbing]

No!

[woman screaming]

Are you all right?

Hey, take it easy.

Get away!

Are you all right? I didn't even see you.

He's after me.

He's coming. Help me.

-Who's he? -He's coming.

-It's all right. -He's coming.

He's after me. He's gonna kill me.

[theme music playing]

[piano playing]

Composing a little mood music?

[car horn honks urgently]

[stops playing piano]

I need some blankets. I hit somebody. She came out of nowhere.

-Who is she? -I don't know. She ran in front of my car.

Come on, come on.

[Derek] What's going on here?

[Rachel] Okay, well, I don't think it's broken.

But you know what I suggest?

You get an X-ray when you get back into town.

Is there anyone you would like to call to let them know where you are?

No, I'm fine.

-Actually, I should be going right now. -[Rachel] Wait, no.

-You're not gonna go anywhere tonight. -I have to...

That's doctor's orders.

You just consider yourself under observation here, okay?

Lay back.

There you go. You're okay.

Now why don't you tell me a little bit about this man

that you said was following you.

You really don't know who he was?

No.

I mean, um...

I saw him following me in town,

and then he showed up on the ferry, too.

And I got frightened and I got off here.

And then I saw the boat pull away

and I realized that he had gotten off too.

And he's probably outside right now. Please.

Well, you're welcome to spend the night here with us

where you'll be perfectly safe.

And Nick will escort you back to the city tomorrow.

I really... I couldn't impose on you like that.

We won't take no for an answer.

Yeah.

I'll show Mary to one of the guest rooms.

That's a good idea.

A good night's sleep, that's what you need.

[thunder rumbles]

I think you'll find everything you need in the drawers and the medicine cabinet.

It's almost as if you expected me.

Well, we're always prepared for the unexpected guest.

I haven't had a chance to thank you properly.

For what? I nearly ran you over.

You saved my life tonight.

I don't know how I could ever repay you for that.

Well, first time is free of charge.

My bedroom's just down the hall.

If you need anything, just give me a shout.

I mean it, Nick.

I owe you.

Uh...

You better watch out or I might just take you up on that.

[thunder rumbles]

You should probably get some sleep.

Yeah, you're right.

Well, I'll see you in the morning.

Thanks.

Lord of Heaven, Lord of Hosts,

guard us this night against the demons of the pit and the corrupters of the soul.

Give us the strength...

[thunder crashes]

Lord of Heaven, Lord of Hosts,

guard us this night against the demons of the pit and the corrupters of the soul.

And give us strength...

You took such good care of her,

she didn't even remember she had another daughter.

You're damn right, Emma. Where were you when we needed you?

Off hiding somewhere.

Look, you knew where to find me!

Lord of Heaven, Lord of Hosts...

Did you find anything on the videotapes?

No, and there was nothing on the remote cameras

to show that anyone else was or is on the island.

It may turn out that Mary Rogers,

if that's even her real name,

wasn't being chased by anyone.

Or maybe she just thought she was.

What do you mean?

I mean, we don't really know anything about her, do we?

In my opinion,

her terror appeared genuine.

Although, it's possible

that this man is a figment of her imagination.

She could be suffering from some sort of

aberration, delusion, hallucination.

Or... it could be something else.

A good deal simpler than that.

You mean, it was her way of getting into the Legacy House?

Well, she's here.

Isn't she?

[thunder crashes]

[woman echoing] I'd sell my soul.

I'd sell my soul.

I'd sell my soul.

I'd sell my soul.

[gasps]

[faucet running]

[man] Time's growing short, Emma.

No.

It can't be.

Have you remembered to say your prayers?

It can't be!

[screaming]

[crying]

No.

[thunder rumbles]

[knock on door]

I can't go back there.

I can't be alone tonight.

Well, you don't have to. You're safe now. It's okay.

Please don't make me go back there.

You can stay here as long as you want to.

All night if you have to.

You know, it's not that I don't want to.

Then do.

No, you've been through a lot.

-A lot has happened. -Nick.

I know what I'm doing.

I don't.

So, please, take my bed.

I'll just go and get some extra pillows and blankets.

I'll sleep on the couch.

[thunder rumbles]

You can run, Emma.

But when will you learn

you cannot hide?

[gasps]

[man laughing]

[thunder crashes]

[Emma] Lose something in there?

Good morning, sleepy head. I didn't wanna wake you.

Thanks.

I'm so embarrassed. I don't ever sleep this late.

Get yourself some breakfast?

I think you mean brunch.

And yes, you've all been more than hospitable.

That's not a problem. We've got plenty of room.

Can I ask you something, Nick?

If it's about getting back to the city, I can take you back any time you wanna go.

No, it's not that.

No, I had my way, I think I might just stay right here forever.

Um...

No, I was wondering,

and you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but

what is this place, really?

Why do you wanna know?

Because...

what happened yesterday,

that wasn't the first time.

I've been running for my life, Nick,

for months now.

And last night with you

was the first time I felt safe again.

What are you running from, Mary?

The man last night, who is he?

We can't help you if you don't tell us the truth about what's going on.

What if I tell you the truth and you don't believe me?

Try me.

Well, then I guess we should start with my real name.

She did make a call late last night from her room. I've got the number here.

Did you check it?

I did and she called, of all places, a monastery.

Some place called

Hadley Bay.

Hadley Bay?

That's Brother Brendan.

He's an old friend of my family

and he has sometimes worked with us on Legacy matters.

That might explain how Mary

accidentally wound up here.

Yeah. And I'm afraid we have some very bad news for you, Derek.

When I called the monastery,

they told me that Brother Brendan couldn't speak right now,

that he had been in a very serious accident,

an old rotting beam and part of the wall collapsed,

nearly crushed him.

He's in very serious condition.

That's awful.

Did they tell you what Mary Rogers had wanted with him?

Well, when I mentioned her name,

they said they never heard of her.

But I initiated a search in that general area

for anyone of the same name

and what I came up with is

pretty bizarre.

[Nick] Why did you run?

You were safe there, weren't you?

I'm not safe anywhere, Nick.

Not until I find someone who believes me.

Someone who understands I'm not crazy.

I love my sister very much.

I'd never have done anything to harm her.

I tried to save her, Nick.

You believe me, don't you?

An elderly woman by the name of Mary Rogers died last week.

I found her obit in the local paper.

-Who was she? -She was a long-term patient

at a local sanitarium called Oak Glen.

Now, this is the same sanitarium

from which a young woman named Emma Scott recently escaped.

-Escaped? -Uh-huh.

Why was she committed?

She was remanded into the care of a Dr. Praetorius

after the court declared her incompetent to stand trial.

-On what charge? -The murder of her sister.

Now she claims that an intruder burst into the house

and forced her sister through a window.

Was there any evidence to back up her claim?

None. No fingerprints, no sign of forced entry

and no marks on her sister's body.

I talked to Dr. Praetorius. He seemed very concerned about Emma's welfare.

Well, at this moment, I'm more concerned about Nick's.

Where is he?

My best guess?

Wherever the beguiling young Emma is.

[Nick]I guess the police will be looking for you.

I'm not afraid of the police.

Why should I be?

All they can do is send me back to the sanitarium.

And what about your doctor?

Surely he can help you.

Not anymore.

He tried but he failed.

That's why I ran away.

Everyone who has tried to help me has failed.

That's why I'll be running for the rest of my life.

It's not fair, Nick.

It's just not fair.

[Emma] How dare you dance on Mother's grave?

You are just plain evil, Cora.

I'd sell my soul see you dead.

[woman screaming]

Have you seen Derek?

The last I saw him he was in his office, why?

I just want to know what we're gonna do about this girl.

Nick.

There's a lot you don't know about her. A lot we found out.

In the first place her real name is...

Emma Scott, I know.

She told me.

She also told me what happened to her sister,

and how she got arrested for the crime

and then committed.

She told you all that, huh?

Yeah, and she told me how the guy who killed her sister

is gonna kill her unless somebody stops him.

Well, doesn't it strike you as strange that she keeps changing her story?

Well, she says it's because she didn't know if she could trust us.

Nick, there is nothing to back up what she's saying.

How do we know it's true?

How do we know it's not true?

I mean, we spend all of our time hanging around here

dealing with things the rest of the world probably thinks is totally impossible.

And when somebody real,

somebody like Emma, somebody who desperately needs our help arrives

and shows up on our doorstep,

we can't even admit to them that The Legacy really exists.

Think about it. If what she's saying is true,

if she is really being stalked by a mad killer,

then the police need to be dealing with this, not The Legacy.

Well, it seems like they haven't been doing a very good job of it.

Well, maybe there's a reason for that.

Okay, maybe then she's delusional.

Now, if that's true, then she should be under the care of her doctors.

Nick, we can't solve everyone's problem.

Maybe we should start with just one.

I never meant to deceive you.

And yet you tried.

You could've told us the truth when you first arrived, Emma.

You don't believe me now.

If I told you the truth, you wouldn't even have let me in.

You know better than that.

Brother Brendan wouldn't have told you about us

if he hadn't thought that we would help you.

Absolutely.

He said you were my last resort.

Last resort?

Well, if we're your last resort,

you're in some serious trouble.

Oh, come on, stop it, Nick.

Look, this has been nothing but an inquisition for the last half an hour.

Excuse me for interrupting, but you have a visitor.

Should I show him in?

No need to.

No, it can't be.

My name is Dr. Samuel Praetorius.

Please, no.

Don't let him near me.

And I'm here for Emma Scott.

[whimpers] Don't let him take me.

That's him!

He killed my sister.

Now he's gonna kill me, too.

No one's gonna hurt you, I promise.

-You know better, Emma. -Don't listen to him.

No one is gonna hurt you. Particularly me.

-Stop him. Don't let him come near me. -Emma.

I'm just getting some water.

Please don't listen to him.

It hasn't been easy getting here and I've developed quite a thirst.

Emma.

It's okay.

Why don't you go and rest?

Rest is what you need more than anything.

Everything is gonna be fine, Emma.

No harm done.

-Don't you worry. -Help me.

Doctor, I'm Rachel Corrigan. We spoke.

Oh.

You really have to forgive me.

I don't ordinarily show up unannounced like this,

but when you called, I thought it best I get here as fast as possible.

I should've alerted the police and the court right away, but, um...

I hope we'll avoid all that.

[exhales] Do you mind if I sit down?

I'm afraid I'm not as young as I was.

Well, perhaps it would be best if we adjourned to the other room.

Certainly.

Right this way, Doctor.

Thank you.

Nick, you've gotta help me.

-We're gonna help you. -No, you.

Nick, the others don't even believe me.

All right, they're gonna hand me over to him if you don't stop them.

No one's gonna make you go anywhere or do anything you don't wanna do.

And as for this Dr. Praetorius--

No, that's not the real Dr. Praetorius.

Don't you understand?

That man downstairs is a monster.

And he's here to take my life.

Why would he wanna do that?

I made a deal with him, Nick.

And now he's here to collect.

You made a deal with him?

What kind of a deal, Emma?

I don't know.

What's going on, all right? I can't help you unless you tell me the truth.

All of it.

My sister was dying.

She was in constant pain.

And I did everything to help her.

I mean, I was by her side night and day.

But it wasn't enough.

I couldn't stand it.

And one night when I was praying,

I said that I would do anything,

that I would give anything to save my sister from her agony.

I said I'd give my own soul,

and now that thing is downstairs to claim it.

It was, um,

April 27th when the court remanded Emma to my care.

I'm curious about your original diagnosis, Doctor.

Mmm.

Well, it was my opinion that she suffered from acute paranoid schizophrenia.

And were you able to make any progress with her?

Until this last episode, I'd have said yes.

Absolutely.

I don't understand, even if you had made a deal like that...

I did. I did, Nick.

All right, you did.

But the deal is off,

I mean, your sister was dead, don't you see?

No, you don't see. He tricked me.

-He tricked me, Nick. -How?

He spared my sister from any more pain.

But he did it by throwing her through the window.

He killed her, Nick.

That's how he fulfilled his end of the bargain.

All right, and you're saying... I just gotta get this straight, all right?

That the man downstairs,

-whoever he is-- -Whatever he is.

Is a devil sent to seal your deal.

That's right.

That's why you've got to find a way.

-A way to what? -To stop him.

To destroy him.

Emma, I'll do anything I can to protect you,

but I can't just walk downstairs and pop the guy.

You can't?

Then you better learn,

'cause that's what he's here to do.

He's here to kill me.

And every single one of you if he has to.

[Dr. Praetorius]Emma, you see, comes from a very troubled background.

Six years ago,

her father was killed in a freak accident.

Her mother lost all touch with reality.

Emma's older sister, Cora, assumed the caretaker role.

Mmm. And Emma rebelled against it.

Yes, and often.

She's got a long history of running away.

Many episodes of delinquency.

But to say that she committed murder?

Yes, that's a very big leap, Doctor.

And that's why Emma herself can't face it.

In one moment of...

absolute rage, she lost control.

And she pushed her sister through a second-story window.

And since then,

she has denied responsibility for it, to the world and to herself.

But you heard her yourself, Doctor.

She claims that you did it.

Yes. [chuckles]

And when I started working with her, weeks after the incident,

she claimed that a bogeyman had done it.

She said that her sister had conjured up some kind of devil

that she had then lost control of.

We called in a religious advisor, a fellow by the name of Brendan.

From the monastery at Hadley Bay.

Why, yes. You know him, then.

Well, isn't that a coincidence?

Fine man, that Brother Brendan.

[Emma screaming]

Dr. Rayne, are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine, thank you.

[thunder crashes]

Nick.

Be careful.

I'll be fine.

Just stay up here.

If anything spooks you, scream.

It's a big house, but one scream and I'll be right here.

Demon or no, we'll know how to deal with it.

Promise.

[Dr. Praetorius] In part, I'd say it's the nature of her illness.

[Rachel] Mythomania.

[Dr. Praetorius] Yes, it's certainly an element of it.

The compulsion to create fresh narratives

to deal with the constantly changing circumstances.

Dominick.

Will you leave that there for me?

Certainly, Nick.

Thank you.

So, what are you suggesting, Doctor?

I'm suggesting that it's time that I, once again, take charge of her care.

She needs to be kept on a very strict medical regimen.

She's already been off of it for far too long.

Maybe she just needs to be left alone.

Nick, Emma is the doctor's patient. I think he knows what's best for her.

That's not the way she sees it.

[Alex] Of course not. Emma is a very disturbed young woman.

Are you sure about that?

What do you think, Rachel? You're a shrink.

I think she lies a lot.

Think about it, Nick.

Ever since she arrived here,

she's been parceling out these little pieces of information...

No, I should say misinformation.

Not one of us knows what she wants.

Do you, Nick?

All I know is she wants to stay alive.

And she will.

Precisely.

And it's time I looked in on her.

I don't think so.

Nick, don't.

Emma needs to be under careful medical supervision right now.

Hey.

You're gonna have to excuse him, Doctor.

I don't know, he has been blinded by this girl somehow.

Yes, I can see that.

But then, with Emma, I can see why.

I don't trust the guy.

Neither do I. I think there's a lot going on here

that we don't yet understand.

I knew you'd see it my way.

I'm kidding.

What's up?

I'm not quite sure yet.

It's just a feeling, but something is definitely strange.

I need to find out more about him.

I'll buy that.

So, why don't we throw this guy out of the house while we do it?

There's an old saying,

keep your friends close,

but your enemies closer.

Yeah.

-[gasps] -Leaving so soon, Emma?

Wait right there, I'll join you.

[demonic growling]

This house is mine now.

Get out.

[door slams]

I'm not leaving here empty-handed.

-Mother wanted me to have-- -Nothing here belongs to you,

Emma James Scott, it's mine.

Read Mom's will.

How dare you dance on Mother's grave?

Get out or I'll call the police.

Go on, call them.

Tell them how you let her die.

How you stole everything that belonged to her and me!

Get out, Emma.

Right now, get out of here.

You are just plain evil, Cora.

I'd sell my soul to see you dead.

Stay away from me, Emma,

You're crazy. What's gotten into you?

[screaming]

[man] You're mine, Emma Scott.

[sinister laughter]

[device whirring and beeping]

So...

while you and Rachel try and prove that she's a liar,

I'm gonna confirm

that she's telling the truth.

Well, we're just trying to get at the truth

the way that you are in your own inimitable bullheaded fashion.

[computer beeping]

Take a look at this.

[Alex] What am I looking at?

This is the glass that Dr. Praetorius held.

This is the one he drank from.

And the three prints on it are Dominick's.

-And? -And there aren't any others.

Dr. Praetorius picked up this glass

and didn't leave a mark on it.

Not with his fingers or his lips.

What kind of a human being can pick up a glass and not leave a mark?

Dr. Praetorius, it appears.

[Alex] Dr. Praetorius is dead.

His body was found in the Bay

early this morning.

[alarm beeping]

Exterior sensor.

[Nick] It's Emma.

Listen to me.

I believe you, I believe her, okay?

I want you to take her to Hadley Bay, to the monastery.

As long as Brother Brendan has breath of life left in him,

he'll know how to keep her safe.

In the meantime, we will try

and delay him here.

All right.

-[Nick] Emma? -[gasps]

I have to get out of here.

With or without you.

No, we're gonna get you out of here right now. Cast off the line.

[engine starts]

[Rachel] I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion, Doctor,

that Emma killed her sister.

I have just never seen this type of behavior occur

under the circumstances that you've described.

Psychiatry is anything but an exact science.

But there are certain ground rules that usually apply.

Go on.

Creating a persecutor, the way that Emma has done,

is much more symptomatic of someone whose guilt stems from something

accidental, rather than self-motivated, so...

Let's say that Emma wished her sister dead and...

that someone else killed her.

Emma would still feel guilty, wouldn't she?

So she created this persecutor to turn herself into a victim.

It's easier to be a victim than to live with that kind of guilt.

An interesting theory, Dr. Corrigan,

but I don't think you're right this time.

The best thing for Emma at this point

is to get back on her medication and into a controlled environment.

Doctor, we can argue this...

Excuse me.

Coast Guard just issued small craft warnings.

There's a storm front moving in.

So, I'm afraid, as your host,

I couldn't allow you to leave. It's far too dangerous.

Instead, I invite you to stay the night here.

With us.

Come now, Derek Rayne.

I would have expected a more clever ploy than that

from such an esteemed member of The Legacy.

Why don't you tell me who you really are?

Didn't Emma tell you?

I believe she told Nick

that you are the Devil himself.

[laughs]

Well, that's a bit much.

Don't you think?

[sinister laughter]

[thunder crashes]

A bit more familiar, Derek?

We've met before.

In fact, I knew your father very well.

As it happens, I see him often.

Would you like me to send your regards?

[distorted] Or would you like to see him yourself?

[laughter echoes]

Leave Emma to me.

Call up ahead to the monastery.

They know we're coming.

[Derek] Hadley Bay is about 17 miles due south.

With this weather, we'll pick up some trouble on the way.

So buckle up, hold on.

We're here to see Brother Brendan.

I know he's ill, but we've gotta see him.

Emma.

[Emma] Thank God, you're still alive.

Emma.

Your soul...

is still very much there.

But he's close

behind you.

Who is this?

I'm Nick Boyle

-with the-- -Yes.

I know, Derek has spoken of you.

You're his right hand.

[Emma] I'm sorry I left you.

I was afraid.

Emma... Emma...

I...

We hadn't finished.

Now, you must do it.

-Alex. -Yeah?

Give me the best place to set down near the monastery.

Give me a heading.

Visual is a bit out of the question, if you might've noticed.

[exclaims]

[alarm blaring]

-Are you all right? -Yeah. I'm fine.

How are you doing with that heading, Alex?

[device beeping]

I've got it. Here.

This should do it.

Thanks.

We had almost finished the prayer and then the roof collapsed.

Back here. This way, Nick.

What does it look like? Do you see it?

It was this huge old record book.

[Nick] Got it. [Emma] Yeah, that's it.

Hurry, Nick. We have to hurry.

Let's see if I can find it.

There it is.

Lord of Heaven, Lord of Hosts,

with all my soul, I do repent.

Lord of Heaven, Lord of Hosts,

with all my soul, I do repent.

The unholy path which was conceived in sin...

The unholy path which was conceived in sin...

Go faster, Nick.

And born in despair...

-And... -[demonic roar]

[Devil]Again? Must we go through this again?

And with an imposter, yet?

Go on, Nick. Go on.

Let this Prayer of Penitence...

Let this Prayer of Penitence...

[Devil] Rise unto me and free my soul

to seek, again, the path of righteousness.

There's a good deal more to that Prayer of Penitence.

But why bother?

[Emma screams] No!

No!

Emma has made a deal with me.

And she's going to make good on it.

She made no deal.

You broke it when you killed her sister.

Broke it? That's when I sealed it.

Or didn't she tell you?

He's lying. Don't listen to him, Nick.

Emma wished her sister dead,

with all the malice any heart could conjure.

With all the malice needed to summon me.

Stay behind me.

Don't move.

What do you want from me now?

Only what you wagered, Emma.

Your soul.

Take Brother Brendan, he's a priest.

Emma, what are you doing?

[laughs]

Take all of their monastery for all I care.

[sinister laughter]

Take him. Just let me go.

What?

Your knight in shining armor?

[roars]

[screams]

Emma, don't run.

Emma.

We can stop him.

Stop.

You might win the occasional battle.

But stop me?

Never.

Save your strength for those who deserve it.

She's mine.

[sinister laughter]

Where did she go?

We should pray for her.

Did you see where she went?

We saw fire in the chapel.

[Rachel] Nick?

[monk] Such a tragedy.

I lost her.

What's important is you're all right. That's all that matters, Nick.

Oh, God.

We were so worried about you.

You didn't lose her, Nick.

She was lost long before she ever came to us.

The Prayer of Penitence is only words.

Words meant to express feelings of true remorse.

True repentance.

That's something Emma has yet to feel.

Until she does...

she will be running forever.

[Devil] Hide and seek, Emma.

[Devil laughs]

[Nick]I never realized how easy it was for someone

to let evil into their heart.

If something's empty, you just fill it with whatever's available.

Evil is always there for the asking.

Win, lose or draw.
