[thunder crashing]

[man coughing]

Thank you, Sister. Thank you.

So, Sister Ingrid, what do you think your...

boss would say about you...

getting your hands dirty down here with us sinners?

What do you think he'll say?

He sent me here.

Well...

[thunder rumbles]

When I... If I see him,

I'll tell him what a good job you've done.

Sister.

Sister.

Yes, my child?

Come quickly, my mother's dying. She needs her last rites.

I must get a doctor.

No, no. You must come now.

Hurry.

Where are you going to, child?

Wait! Wait!

[sighs]

What brought your poor mother down here?

Please. Help her.

In here.

[strained breathing]

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

[thunder crashes]

What are you doing? Let me go.

[woman] Sister Ingrid.

We have a new mission for you, Sister.

No. No!

Help.

No. Help.

Please, God in Heaven, help me.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me!

[screaming]

[thunder crashes]

[Derek] Received for carbon dating and identification

from The Legacy team currently working in Nestos.

One clay burial urn.

Artifact is Mycenaean.

Remarkably good condition, considering its age.

The inscription refers to the House of Atreus,

although I don't recognize the, uh...

I don't recognize...

[screaming]

Ingrid?

[thunder crashes]

[woman's voice] Derek.

Who's there?

Derek.

Ingrid?

Derek.

She is with us.

What have you done to my sister?

Nothing.

But time is running out.

What do you want?

I want the Blood Chalice.

Who are you?

Questions waste time,

a most precious commodity.

One your devout sister, Ingrid, runs perilously short of.

Wait.

One last day.

[William]Derek, we've just received word here of your sister's disappearance.

Bad news travels fast.

I'm so sorry.

The ruling council has authorized whatever resources you may need

to deal with this situation.

I appreciate your concern, but our investigation is underway.

We have things in hand here.

You know Legacy protocol prohibits any negotiations with terrorists.

Are you quoting Legacy regulations to me, William?

Do you honestly believe that I would jeopardize The Legacy

for the sake of one person?

Even my own sister?

I believe you'll do what's best.

Contact us if you need anything.

You are my brother,

and I love you.

I have seen you grow into a fine man.

But it pains me to see you so tortured.

And by your own hand.

By my own hand?

You carry the burden of our father on your back.

And you always have, since the day he died.

That is why we meet each year,

because you have not forgiven him.

I have, finally, Derek.

And I have found my peace in that.

But you have also not forgiven yourself.

And that is why you struggle so.

But someone has to fight the battles I do.

We cannot all sit in silence.

Then gird yourself properly for battle, Derek.

Fulfill your destiny,

my dear brother.

[coughing]

Wait.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Don't be afraid.

I'm not going to hurt you.

My sister...

Sister Ingrid.

You saw what happened to her, didn't you?

Didn't you?

She gave me money.

They said they won't hurt her.

It was all my fault.

It's just that my family's so poor, and we needed the money--

[Derek] It's all right.

You were just trying to help your family.

Sister Ingrid is my family.

I want to help her.

Who offered you money?

Come.

[gasping]

No, please don't hurt me.

-Please, no. -Never.

What makes you say that?

Your ring.

You're one of them.

The person who took my sister...

wore a ring like this?

Thank you.

[Derek] When I joined The Legacy,

one of my first assignments was on an excavation

of the great Aztec temple of Tenochtitlan, the serpent mountain.

The Aztecs believed that their teyolia,

the divine fire that animated the human body,

resided in the heart.

During ritual sacrifice,

the victim's still-beating heart was cut from his body.

The Aztec priests would then squeeze the blood into this chalice,

capturing the Tonalli, the life force.

According to the myth, whoever drank the sacrificial blood

would be immortal and invincible.

Sort of like an Unholy Grail.

[Derek] Exactly.

[Nick] Obviously, they're thinking they can trade your sister for the chalice

and get away with it.

[Derek] Well, they're wrong.

First, because I would never betray The Legacy,

and secondly, if they hurt Ingrid in any way,

there is no place they can hide where I will not find them.

Derek.

Mother.

The flight over was faster than expected.

I thought of calling, but I didn't want to pull you away from anything.

-Any word? -No.

Please, this is my mother, Barbara Rayne.

I'd like you to meet Rachel Corrigan.

It's so good you came.

Nick Boyle.

Ms. Rayne.

You remember Alex.

Of course. Alex.

Hello, Barbara.

We're still waiting on word, but Ingrid's very strong.

Yes. It runs in the family.

Why don't we leave you two alone?

So, you've had no further word?

No.

Not yet.

And until we do,

I want you to stay here.

You must have some idea who would want to hurt Ingrid.

I don't believe they want to hurt Ingrid.

They want to hurt me,

hurt The Legacy.

They're just using her to get to me.

Have they contacted you?

Yes.

And the ransom?

A pre-Columbian chalice, owned by The Legacy.

A piece of art?

Well, that shouldn't be so hard.

Will you give it to them?

Well, it brings another set of problems.

Let's just hope it won't be necessary.

But assuming it is, will you?

Or perhaps the real question is, will The Legacy allow you to?

The Legacy will do the right thing.

Yes.

It always does.

Please.

You and your sister have been spending some time together lately.

I'm very pleased to hear that.

Yes, she's someone I can always turn to.

You are her strength.

[Derek] And she is mine.

We won't lose her.

I promise.

Yes, I know.

You and William will find a way.

You always have.

Sloan?

Early 10th-century BC, from the look of it.

What a shame.

What are you doing here?

When I'd learned you'd sent a Legacy jet to Amsterdam to pick up your mother,

it seemed a simple matter to have it stop in London.

Pick me up as well.

Why?

I told you the situation is under control here.

You wasted a trip.

Not really.

It's an awfully long flight, Derek,

especially for a woman whose daughter is missing.

And a man whose own family maybe partially responsible.

Well, thank you for seeing her safely here.

I've known Barbara a long time.

She trusts me.

Why can't you?

This isn't a matter of trust.

Then why haven't you told me everything?

Why the secrecy?

Because they came after my family, William.

My sister.

I know that.

But we've never been a callous lot, Derek.

I promise you, I will not compromise The Legacy,

but neither will I allow this to go unanswered.

I'm sorry about Ingrid, we all are.

But you can't let your concern for her cloud your judgment as a Precept.

So you're gonna tell me what the hell is going on, or not?

I believe Ingrid was abducted by a rogue Legacy House.

You have proof?

Well, for one thing, this presence, or whatever it is,

wants us to turn over the Blood Chalice.

Only someone within The Legacy would even know its existence.

Interesting.

What else?

The witness at St. Crispin's said that

Ingrid was abducted by a woman wearing a Legacy signet.

A Precept?

I find that hard to believe.

But if it is the case,

then it's conceivable an entire house has gone over as well.

[William] There are currently three women wearing Precept rings.

Maya Chen, Precept to the Hong Kong House.

Handpicked by Clare Spencer to replace her.

Maria Contreras, Buenos Aires.

Doing research in the Vatican.

Spoke with her yesterday.

[Derek] Angelyne D'Arcy.

Precept of the Montreal House.

You know her?

[Derek] Angelyne and I joined The Legacy at the same time.

Elevated to Precept last year.

[William] Took over the Montreal House when Jean Annette died.

It's her.

How can you be so sure?

Angelyne and I were once very close...

back when I was trying to decide whether or not to commit to The Legacy.

We spent a lot of time together.

She helped me make up my mind.

Eventually, we had a falling out.

Angelyne's a brilliant woman.

Intuitive...

aggressive.

She's worked hard for her place in The Legacy.

Don't let old feelings get in the way, Derek.

[Derek] It's more than that.

The apparition...

There's something so familiar, as if we've met before.

I couldn't place it then, but seeing her now...

I get the same feeling.

It's Angelyne.

I'm certain of it.

It's quite an accusation.

I need more than that.

William, what a delightful surprise.

To what do I owe the pleasure of your call?

It's my pleasure, I assure you.

I just wanted to see how things are in Montreal,

see if running your own house is everything you thought it would be.

And more, William. And so much more.

Where are you calling from?

San Francisco.

Oh.

Is Derek there?

He's tied up with a special project at the moment.

I see.

It's a shame to miss him,

but he always did put Legacy business first.

[William] Angelyne?

Angelyne, you there?

William? Yes, I'm still here.

I hate having my image bounced 20,000 miles into space and back.

I'd much prefer to see you face to face.

I'll be headed back to London soon, I'll drop by Montreal.

Actually, this week's not good for me.

I'll be in the field.

We've been tracing the work of a coven near Laval.

Time is such a precious commodity, you know?

I always seem to be running perilously short of it.

[William] I understand that.

On my next trip, then.

I'll be waiting.

[William] Goodbye, Angelyne.

Goodbye, William.

It's her, William.

Derek...

She used the exact same words the apparition did

about time being a precious commodity.

Still all speculation.

That signal wasn't from Montreal.

What?

When she started to break up,

I checked our downlink from the comm satellite.

[Derek] If that signal's coming from Montreal,

there should've been about a quarter-second transmission delay.

[Alex] Instead, it took twice as long.

So, somebody rerouted the Montreal sat-link

into the local cellphone network.

Can you trace it?

Okay, let me try.

[computer beeping]

There we go.

[Derek] It's Sonoma.

She's been here all along.

We need somebody here in case the kidnappers try to contact us.

We don't want them to know we're coming.

Well, I still have work to do on the chalice, so I'll stay.

Who's there?

Talk to me.

Please.

[woman] Why?

Are you afraid?

No.

I have no fear, for the Lord is with me.

[woman] Do you actually believe that?

Of course.

And so should you.

Please.

I've seen too much,

know too much,

to truly believe God cares.

Without God...

what is that you believe in?

Everything.

Everything worth living for.

Money, beauty,

power.

You mistake appearance for reality.

According to whom?

You?

Or your brother Derek?

Derek.

You know him?

I know him very well.

I don't believe you.

He was so handsome.

We discovered The Legacy almost at the same time.

We became lovers.

No, you are lying.

Only he wasn't as...

inventive as I was.

You are despicable.

And God who lets you die is not?

I am not dead yet.

Give me time, Sister.

If your God is so strong, then why are you here now with me, hmm?

To test my faith.

And if you die?

God willed it so.

Wrong.

If you die, it's because I willed it so, not God.

I am the one you should pray to. I am the one you should fear.

Never.

Remove her.

Now.

It's an old winery.

You sure this is the place?

Yeah, I traced the cellphone. This is it.

Unless they split.

Well, we have to take a look.

Nick.

That way.

[door creaking open]

[Rachel] Derek!

Must be the Montreal House. Half of them, anyway.

[Derek] What about Angelyne?

She wouldn't be here.

Can I have your pen?

No sign of her anywhere.

Judging by the lack of rigor mortis,

I say this woman died within the last few hours.

She's still warm.

She looks like she's been dead for weeks.

[Rachel] She does.

These people look like they've literally rotted to death.

Some kind of virus?

Could be.

I think we should get out of here right now.

[woman's voice] Derek.

Listen.

I don't hear anything.

Neither do I.

Sloan's right. We should get out of here.

Derek.

Ingrid?

Derek, don't.

Ingrid?

Derek, what is it?

[shushing]

Derek.

Ingrid!

It's Derek.

Hello, Derek.

Where's my sister?

I thought perhaps I didn't stay on the line long enough

for you to trace the call.

But then, I didn't want to make it too easy for you.

Angelyne, why have you done this?

Derek knows.

He knew me better than anyone once.

Didn't you, Derek?

The dark will always be more interesting than the light.

There was a great temptation.

I tried to convince myself

I was learning about the enemy.

Plumbing the depths of evil so that I could defeat it.

Instead, you practiced the art of self-deception.

Wrong. Instead, I practiced the art of self-revelation.

Only I embraced what I found.

You attacked my family.

Your family is nothing.

The Legacy is nothing.

The dark side is all.

You can't imagine the power.

It can change the world.

At what price? Good people killed, our trust betrayed.

There's always a price to pay, William.

Her face. It's just like the others.

Angelyne, it's not too late.

We can still help you.

I don't want your help, William.

When you embrace the darkness, it becomes you.

There's great power to be tapped.

Where is my sister?

I want the chalice.

Drinking from the chalice, it'll heal those of us that are left.

You know I can't let you have it no matter what cost.

True.

But then, you already have.

I'm sorry.

My family needed the money.

Your family is your weakness, Derek.

That's what made it so easy to lure you here.

You'd do anything to save your sister.

Well, now,

you have condemned her.

Goodbye, Derek.

No!

She was an apparition.

That means the real Angelyne is...

Come on.

[sighs]

[exclaims]

Hello?

Who's there?

Barbara?

Is that you?

[cell phone ringing]

-Hello? -Alex?

Derek, yeah listen, there's something going on here.

-All the lights-- -Alex, she's in the house.

What do you mean, she's here?

[low growl]

[Alex gasps]

Alex?

[Derek] The line's gone dead.

Alex is in trouble.

Clear.

-Get the lights back on. -Yeah.

[Rachel] Alex?

Alex!

[Derek] Alex?

-Mother. -Oh, Derek.

I never should have left you alone. What happened?

When he lights went out, someone broke in. I heard Alex scream.

When I came in, I found her here like this.

Barbara, are you all right?

Yes, but Alex isn't.

-It's a good thing you're here. Alex? -I'm okay.

-Okay? -Okay.

Yeah, I want you to sit up but really slowly.

-I think she may have a concussion. -[Alex groans]

-Good. -There you go.

Stand up, slowly. I got you.

I'm gonna take her to her room. There you go.

All right. Okay.

The chalice is gone.

Take it easy, Derek. You did what you thought was right.

[Derek] Yeah, look what happened.

Angelyne set us up.

I should've seen it coming, but all I could think about was Ingrid.

[William] Stop berating yourself.

You think that was your weakness, that you were worried about your sister?

That you're willing to risk yourself for your family?

That's not your weakness, that's your strength.

Derek.

I'm sorry.

For what? For caring?

For placing your sister above everything else?

I should have prevented this.

I failed Ingrid.

And I failed you.

No one should have to make the sacrifices you've made.

There's too much of your father in you.

I knew the moment you made your decision to join The Legacy

that you'd never be happy doing anything else.

So, don't tell me you're sorry for the choices you've made.

Just find your sister before it's too late.

Here's everything Alex discovered before she was attacked.

The computer image of the chalice is the only clue we have.

Maybe it's not too late to use it.

[William] Soon after your team recovered the chalice,

we were able to translate most of the pictographs.

The inscription explains how the blood ritual was to be performed,

and tells of the great power that would be bestowed

on whoever drank this sacrificial blood.

How about where and when Angelyne plans to use it?

Well, the Aztec rituals were connected with astronomical events,

like changing of seasons, the sun, the moon.

We've assumed that those jewels running around the middle were mostly decorative.

But they don't seem to fit any known style of pre-Columbian art.

No. Pattern's too random.

Stars.

Star map.

That's it.

It's the night sky at the winter solstice.

Of course.

Tonight.

It's the only night that the ritual can take place.

That's why Angelyne only gave me 24 hours.

She won't live to see the next solstice.

It has to happen tonight.

She'll need a sacrifice.

Ingrid.

The Aztecs built pyramids for the sacrificial rituals

to bring them closer to heaven.

This is the highest point in the area, Mount Tamalpais.

Assuming they're still here.

Well, they wouldn't waste time going very far.

They need to use the chalice soon.

We're wasting time. Let's go.

-I'll warm up the chopper. -Yeah.

[gasping]

There.

You see?

You see what fate awaits you...

on this, the night of nights?

The longest of the year.

[thunder crashing]

The ceremony is simple.

Sacrificial blood.

Your blood, drunk from the chalice,

will cleanse us

and make us whole.

Why don't the two of you sidle in from the front,

and I'll go see if I can find a back door.

Okay.

It's the perfect solution.

Don't you think?

Your entire life has been spent helping people.

And now, we give you the opportunity to die for us,

to make the ultimate sacrifice,

so that we may live.

Strange, is it not,

that we both get what we want?

Don't be afraid.

You have your faith.

Prepare to drink

from eternal life.

[Derek] Angelyne!

Derek. I knew you'd come.

[William] Angelyne, this isn't the way.

Come back.

[Angelyne] Come back?

Come back to what?

A pathetic mortal existence?

A lifetime that winks by in a second?

I've tasted the power of the other side.

[Derek] And was it worth it?

Destroying everything we believe in?

Betraying me?

Attacking my family?

Why do you think I chose your sister?

You're the one I want.

Come to me.

Throw off the shackles of The Legacy, Derek.

Can't you see they only hold you back?

Join me, now.

Never!

Now...

is the time.

Accept the heart of innocence

and grant us eternal life.

No!

[groaning in pain]

[Derek] Ingrid!

No!

Now witness the power awaiting on the other side.

[Angelyne exclaims]

No!

[screaming]

Grant me life!

[sobbing]

[screaming]

Ingrid.

My dear brother.

I never...

lost faith...

in you.

Ingrid?

[thunder crashes]

I was too late.

Derek, the chalice

has the power to heal.

Hurry, before it's too late.

Ingrid.

Ingrid.

Ingrid?

Ingrid.

Oh, Derek.

[Derek]Angelyne said that by joining the dark side,

all our human bonds will become meaningless.

Family, friends, loyal colleagues would mean nothing.

If that's true, I can think of no greater evil in the world,

and no force The Legacymust strive harder to overcome.
