[baby crying]

[chanting continues]

[boy] Come on, bro. I mean, help us out, man.

[Pierce] Hey, uh, why don't you show us

a little bit of that rain dance?

-[grunts] -[groans]

Hurts, doesn't it, man?

Come on.

[both laughing]

Oh.

Isn't this special?

I like it.

[grunting]

You can call it your dues, chief.

[drums beating]

[screeches]

Cause you've got to pay your dues around here.

Give it back.

-What about that? -Give it back.

Oh. What, you want this? Come on, punk.

[groans]

[groaning]

Get off!

[Mr. Westburn] David! Enough!

David, what the hell's going on?

Look at him, Mr. Westburn. He's a freaking savage.

He's totally out of control, man.

You started it, man. You guys jumped me.

I said that's it! It's over.

You two, go see Mr. Simmons in detention.

Right now!

Don't let me hear you guys didn't show up,

or I'll expel both of you.

[sarcastically] Oh.

Come with me, young man.

Get off me. Leave me alone.

I got to find my phoenix.

Now, mister. Let's go.

This is the third time

you've gotten into it with those two

since you've been here.

Didn't I ask you to just stay out of their way?

Hi. I'm Dr. Corrigan. I'm the volunteer on call this week.

There's a student, apparently,

that Mr. Westburn wants me to have a word with.

-Come on... -[woman on PA] Sorry, students,

and remember to bring your lunch...

Looks like he's busy. Why don't I grab a cup of coffee?

What the hell is your problem anyway, son?

I didn't do anything wrong.

You couldn't get along with anybody at PS 139 either.

Could you?

Damn it. Look at this mess.

It's why they sent you here.

[chanting in Native language]

Dump all their, their problem children on me,

and I'm sick of it.

I'm telling you...

You're headed for a big fall, mister.

[growling]

This is your last warning.

I'm not going to take any more trouble out of you.

You don't shape up, the next stop for you

is juvie hall with the hardcore cases.

[gagging]

-[screams] -[glass shattering]

[groans]

[receptionist] Oh, my God! Mr. Westburn.

Mr. Westburn...

[Fiona] I can't believe you're in trouble again.

[David] It wasn't my fault.

Why don't you believe me?

[Rachel] It's just an old-fashioned nosebleed.

You'll live.

But I'd keep that ice on it, if I were you.

David, will you please tell me what happened?

Okay, David, here's the situation.

Mr. Westburn is very seriously hurt.

Now, they've taken him to the hospital,

and he's unconscious,

so we have no way of knowing what exactly happened.

That's why it's really important

that you tell us your side of the story, okay?

David.

Did you push your principal through that window?

No, I didn't. I've already told you a thousand times.

I was just sitting there, and he took off.

He just went right through the glass.

Look, David, I know that he was upset with you.

I heard him yell at you.

I told you already,

I didn't do anything to hurt him.

[sighs]

Mom, my phoenix.

I lost it when those guys jumped me.

Don't worry, David.

It'll turn up.

[door opens]

Excuse me, ma'am.

Detective Grotes.

We'd like a word with you, please.

My son's never hurt anyone in his life.

For God's sake, Detective,

would you just look at David?

Mr. Westburn is three times his size.

I can't even imagine David assaulting him.

-I mean, it's just-- -I'm sorry, we have a warrant, ma'am.

This is unfair. You can't do this!

I'm not going to let you take him.

Don't make this anymore difficult

than it has to be, ma'am.

No!

-Let her alone! -[Fiona] Let me...

-[Rachel] Detective, wait. -Wait.

[screeches]

Leave me alone

[growling]

[chanting in Native language]

[cans rattling]

[screams]

[cans clattering]

I'm telling you, it moved by itself.

I mean, it really took off. Like a shot...

Like someone was almost pushing it

with tremendous energy.

I'm hoping that's all it was.

Worth looking into, I'd say.

-That's David's mother? -Mmm-hmm.

Well, let's see if she can shed some light on this.

Fiona. This is Derek Rayne, my associate.

The one I was telling you about.

Mrs. Shaylett. How's your son doing?

They've taken him to juvenile hall.

They're holding him on assault charges.

I have no way of getting him out.

At least until tomorrow morning when he's arraigned.

I only hope they don't set his bail too high.

Mrs. Shaylett,

have you ever heard of the Luna Foundation?

[woman on PA] Assembly today is at 2:45 in the auditorium.

Well, we'd like to help you and your son.

If you need a lawyer, for instance,

we can arrange for one.

That's what the Luna Foundation does.

It's set up to help people.

[Derek] Well, I listened to Rachel's description of what happened,

and considering the circumstances of the principal's attack,

yes, David might be the source.

Well, it sounds like telekinesis.

Well, I'm not completely sold on that just yet.

Telekinesis is a subtle phenomenon,

in most observed cases.

Well, maybe the kid doesn't realize

that he's responsible for what's happening around him.

Could be a completely involuntary response.

Well, let's find out, shall we? Rachel,

you and I will bail David out first thing in the morning.

I've also extended our invitation

for David and his mom to stay here at the house

until the situation resolves itself.

Alex, I'd like you to conduct some tests with David.

-Cautiously, of course. -Of course.

Well, whatever he's got, the kid's trouble.

[police siren wailing]

[Haney] You got to learn to fit in, boy.

[indistinct chatter]

All of life is rules.

You've got to learn to live by them.

And that's why you're here.

Don't think of this place as jail,

think of it as school.

You're here to learn.

And I'm your favorite teacher.

Like right now, you're going to learn the importance of being neat.

'Cause neatness counts, right, kid?

Pick that up.

Do it!

[groans]

Lesson number two.

Watch your back.

[door locks]

[whooshes]

[screeches]

[gagging]

[screams]

[gagging]

[electricity crackling]

[police siren wailing]

[door opens]

David.

Oh, are you all right, son?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Hello, David. I'm Dr. Derek Rayne.

Nice to meet you.

They've helped us out by posting your bail.

They have a home on Angel Island,

and they've invited us to come and stay with them

until we get these things straightened out.

No, I don't think I want to do that.

David, it's a condition of your release

mandated by the courts.

I have to go back to school first.

Mom, I have to find Dad's phoenix.

You don't understand, David.

You've been expelled from school.

[Rachel] So, come on in.

Well, this is the place.

Hey, Alex.

Hey, you guys.

Good. I'm glad you made it.

So, this is, uh, David,

the guy I was telling you about, and his mother, Fiona.

-Hi, Fiona. Nice to meet you. -Hi.

So, David, I'm your official hostess

and tour guide for this little adventure. [chuckles]

You guys actually live in this castle?

-Well...[laughs] -Well, some of us do.

Listen, I'm going to show him around, get him situated.

-Is that all right with you, Fiona? -Sure.

Great. Why don't I buy you a coffee?

Come on this way.

Erm,

on the way over here, Dr. Corrigan said

you guys are going to do some tests or something on me?

Yeah, that's right. You and I are going

to be doing some experiments together.

Don't worry. You won't feel a thing.

Experiments? What kind of experiments?

Brain function test, aptitude test, nothing too taxing,

and you can say no to any of it if you want to, okay?

Except that I owe you because you bailed me out of jail.

Exactly. That's why I know

we'll have your complete cooperation.

Come on, I'll show you around the castle

and give you the ten-cent tour.

I want you to meet somebody.

We left New Mexico to find a better life.

Native American dream, you know,

get off the reservation.

It's a hard place.

Especially for children.

Do you have any children, Doctor?

Mmm-hmm, a little girl.

She's going to be nine next month.

David's father died last year.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that.

It's been a difficult adjustment for him.

David loved his father so much.

Joseph, my husband,

he always said he was going to take David back to that reservation.

I didn't understand.

We had awful times there.

Well, maybe he just wanted David

to remember where he came from,

never forget his heritage.

David's been very lucky, actually.

Mmm-hmm.

He was born two months premature.

He was very sickly.

I don't suppose you had access to

very good medical care on the reserve?

No, we didn't.

Tribal shaman isn't quite the same

as a university hospital neonatal wing.

I never thought David would make it.

We almost lost him.

[cell phone ringing]

Excuse me.

Rachel Corrigan.

That's really good news. Thank you.

Mr. Westburn's coming around.

-They think he's going to recover fully. -[sighs]

Do you have any idea what kind of medicine

the shaman performed on David?

No.

That was my husband's department, Dr. Corrigan.

Joseph really believed in the methods of our medicine men.

To be honest,

we didn't exactly see eye to eye on the subject.

I thought it was so much superstition.

All I ever wanted was to leave that place and never go back.

Wow! You guys must really have big bucks, huh?

[water splashing]

So, David, I'd like you to meet Nick Boyle, our resident Navy SEAL.

Former SEAL.

I quit to pursue my real dream of synchronized swimming.

No, he's just getting in touch with his feminine side.

-Welcome to the club, man. -Thanks.

Really nice place you got here.

[chuckle] Yeah, I bet it beats juvie hall.

Yeah, for sure.

So, uh, do you guys actually do any work around here or what?

[Nick chuckles]

Not lately. See you.

-See you later. -[Nick] Yeah.

[door opens]

What's up?

You tell me.

It occurred in the same facility

where David was held overnight.

You don't think it's a coincidence, do you?

Well, in my heart, I hope it is,

but I have a very bad feeling

that whatever happened in jail last night

is related to the fact that David was there.

I'd love to see the forensics on this.

Yeah, so would I.

I saw a security system with cameras

throughout the whole building.

So there's a very good chance

that the whole thing was caught on tape.

Well, it says here there's no apparent signs of attack.

And if there are video tapes, you'd figure the cops

would have picked it up, right?

Depends on what they were looking for, doesn't it?

Yeah. You don't think that they'd make the tapes available, do you?

Through conventional channels, no way.

Never did like conventional channels.

[dialing]

Detective Karmak, please.

[whirring]

[keyboard clacking]

[electronic whirring]

Are we almost done yet?

It's kind of uncomfortable, you know?

[computer beeps]

[sighs] Can I please take this stupid stuff off now?

Just a few little more tests.

I'm tired of answering questions.

Everybody's always grilling me.

Has anything like this ever happened to you before?

Like what? Getting in trouble all the time?

No, I mean what happened to your principal.

People around you getting hurt, and it not being your fault.

What exactly did happen to your principal, David?

I don't know.

And I don't know why they're blaming it on me.

[sighs]

Look, I know what this is all about.

I recognize this type of stuff.

You're trying to test me to see

if I have some sort of ESP or something, right?

Oh, man, that'd be so cool.

You know, I wouldn't mind having some sort of ESP.

You might. Mind it, I mean.

Kind of makes you feel like an outsider.

Yeah, but that's nothing new for me.

I want to try something different, okay?

Now, you see this pen?

Yeah.

I want you to concentrate...

and try to move it

only using your thoughts.

[laughs]

Yeah, right.

It can be done.

Derek?

The hospital sent me over Westburn's records.

He's taken a beating, but he's going to recover.

Strangest thing, though.

Given the nature of his accident,

you'd expect to see the kinds of lacerations

and contusions that he received,

but he also suffered some internal trauma

that you wouldn't normally associate

with an injury like this.

What kind of internal injuries?

Esophageal ruptures.

It's almost like his neck was crushed.

Like he was strangled.

And you should see this, too.

I requested David's medical records.

This is all I got.

-This is it? -Yeah.

No childhood illnesses? [scoffs]

He never even had chickenpox?

My God, looks like he's never been sick a day in his life.

All the more amazing, considering

he was raised in poverty on an Indian reservation

with no medical care to speak of,

except for a tribal shaman and his native medicine.

And according to his mom, anyway.

I want to keep David here as long as we possibly can.

Even if we have to manufacture a reason to extend his visit.

And I don't want him or his mother to leave

until we get to the bottom of this.

And you're going where?

To have a mystical experience, hopefully.

I'm going to see an old friend

who's eminently qualified to help with this case.

I'll be back shortly.

[engine stops]

[crows cawing]

Derek Rayne, how the hell are you?

As well as ever. Thank you, Ezekial.

How are you?

I'm tired, but still strong enough to carry the flame.

Oh, I see you've added to your collection.

Yes.

Thanks to Luna Foundation's generosity

in helping me preserve my finds.

So, have you really come to see my collection

or does this visit concern some old Legacy business?

[chuckles]

Actually, I'm here for enlightenment.

Ah. I love it when you have a problem

only the Big Hawk can solve.

Come on, I've constructed a lodge on the grounds here

in our traditional way.

We'll sweat over this question together.

[steam hissing]

Let us seek understanding.

The smoke brings wisdom.

This young Native American boy,

people around him have been hurt by some unknown force.

The spirits tell me this young man has two souls.

Open your spirit and it will talk to you.

[steam hissing]

[drums beating]

[rattles]

[screams]

[inaudible]

-Your vision pains you? -Yes.

This young man,

I believe he received the medicine of a shaman.

Do you know of the mysteries of the shadow spirit?

When a dying child is brought before a healer,

the healer calls the spirit world

to shadow and protect this child.

These spirits lend strength,

but they are not always benevolent souls.

Is it possible for one of those shadows to...

continue to follow someone into adulthood?

The shadow spirit is released in the cleansing.

But if this ritual is not performed at a prescribed time,

when the child is grown to fullness,

the shadow becomes stronger

and can attach itself to this world.

David is almost 16 years old.

Do you think this cleansing ritual

could still be performed?

I cannot say for certain.

But I have heard

the shadow that follows too long

sometimes consumes the very soul

that it is assigned to protect.

You mean it might eventually turn on him

and possess him completely?

And only when he dies will he be free.

[steam hissing]

Well, we owe Karmak big time for this one.

He had to go outside of his department to get the tape for us.

-Right. -Let's see what we got.

-[keyboard clacking] -[computer beeps]

[computer processing]

Uh, it's a little bit grainy, but I think we can enhance it.

-[keyboard clacking] -[computer processing]

All right, this is, uh,

the guard who died, Sergeant Haney.

[computer beeps]

[Nick] Looks like he had a seizure or something.

What was that?

I don't know.

Maybe somebody's shadow.

It's not a glitch in the tape, is it?

-I don't think so. -[keyboard clacking]

-Can you run it back a few minutes? -Yeah.

[computer beeps]

-[Alex] Okay, stop it there. -[keyboard clacking]

According to the time code,

this was just minutes before Haney died.

Looks like David was one

of the last people to see him alive.

If not the very last.

[shudders]

[chanting in Native language]

-[shakers rattling] -[drums beating]

[baby crying]

[rattling]

[baby coos]

[baby cries]

[baby crying]

[baby cries]

-[thuds] -[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

[growling]

[wind howling]

Can you put up the results from those tests that Alex ran on David?

-She wanted me to have a look at them. -Yeah.

-[keyboard clacking] -[computer processing]

That's interesting.

You see that, where the waves vacillate out of sync,

it's like they're two different brainwave patterns.

It's almost as if the EEGs of two different people were

superimposed over each other.

Alex's preliminary finding showed no signs of latent TK.

At least not what we generally look for.

David failed all the tests with flying colors.

-You should have a look at this. -What?

Erm, I put the tape

through the computer and analyzed it

to see if there was any energy signature

that didn't show up to the naked eye,

-and this is what it came up with. -[computer beeps]

[keyboard clacking]

[exhales]

Have the police seen this?

I don't think so.

I don't think they have the capability.

And if they did, what would they do?

How do you arrest that?

What the hell is that?

We don't know.

Well, David's gone.

Looks like he climbed out of his window.

How did he do that without setting off any alarms?

-[keyboard clacking] -[computer beeps]

That's odd.

We got a camera down.

I think I know where he may have gone.

He wanted to go back to the school.

He said he'd lost a keepsake there.

All right, you stay here with his mom,

and we'll go see if we can find him.

Great.

[electronic whirring]

[boy] Hey, chief. What's up?

I saw you climb over the fence, bro.

Huh, you looking for us or what?

[Pierce] Hey.

Where you going, brother?

Yeah. What's your hurry?

Guys, I don't want any trouble.

Believe me, I don't think you do either.

Yeah, right.

Well, it seems to me

we never finished, did we?

No, you know, I don't think we did.

In fact,

I think I still owe you a broken nose.

You know, you know what?

I think we owe him one for poor Mr. Westburn.

Yes.

We heard all about that, dude.

That wasn't too nice, David.

[growling]

What the hell is that?

Jay, what is that?

[growls]

[gasps]

[both screaming]

[car horns honking]

[Nick] The school's about half a mile from here.

-There he is. -[tires screech]

What's going on?

So what happened to you?

Nothing. Nothing, I'm okay.

Did you go back to the school?

No, I didn't.

Uh, I just had to get out of that place, man.

You know, I've been cooped up in there all day and night.

Well, Angel Island isn't the easiest place to get away from.

I'd kind of like to know how you got out of there.

David, you weren't supposed to leave the house.

You're lucky we found you before the cops did.

You guys aren't going to call the police on me, are you?

You wouldn't call the cops.

Well, come on. Just get in the car.

Ms. Moreau... I mean, Alex.

[sighs]

I'm sorry.

Yeah. We'll talk about it when we get back.

[engine starts]

[engine revving]

[David] Look, I told you already. I just went out.

I had to get out of here.

Come on, Mom, I had to go back.

I had to find Dad's phoenix.

You don't understand.

You risked being sent back to jail.

You know what? I wish everyone

would just get off my back.

Well, we'll have to contain him

until we know exactly what our next move is.

He's carrying a very dangerous force with him,

a shadow spirit.

We'll lock him down if we have to.

Well, it might not work.

In fact, it might make it worse.

This entity follows David,

literally, wherever he goes.

Its sole purpose is to protect David.

If it feels that David is threatened,

it will strike out.

You have to be very careful not to upset him in any way.

David is not only a danger to others,

he is in danger himself.

This spirit might turn on him.

Or, if it gains more strength,

it might get loose into our world.

[growls]

Looks like we've got some company, Derek.

If the spirit is visible,

it must mean David is agitated.

Find him and keep him calm until I get there.

I'm almost there.

[telephone clattering]

I just spoke to the police.

They told me two boys from your school

were just taken away by the paramedics.

They are very badly hurt.

David, they're the same two boys

you fought with a few days ago.

What did you do?

It wasn't me. I didn't hurt anybody.

[sighs]

It was him.

Who?

Who are you talking about, David?

Him.

[chanting in Native language]

Hey, buddy, just take it easy.

[growling]

He won't hurt me. He's mine.

He protects me.

David, I want you to send him away.

What?

Don't try to take him away from me. I won't let you.

David, this power you have

is a terrible thing.

You have to give it up.

She's right, David. That thing killed your father.

-It's a monster. -What?

I never told anyone what happened that night your father died.

Don't you remember, David?

No.

[Fiona] Your father was very angry with you that night.

It's true, David.

Your father hurt you,

and that thing, it acted out against him.

I don't believe you.

Take it easy, big fella.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

[gagging]

You're lying to me!

David.

[grunts]

[Alex] David, wait.

[sobbing]

David.

David, wait.

Four years in the navy, and I never got beat up

as regularly as I do around here.

Lucky your neck's not broken. What the hell was that?

My husband told me once about a sort of guardian angel

that was given to David by a shaman.

I never believed him.

I'd never seen it until that night,

and I've never seen it since.

Until now.

You have to understand.

If anyone ever found out,

-I thought they'd take David away from me. -It's okay. It's okay.

-Where is David? -He took off. Alex went with him.

-Is he all right? -I think so.

Nick, let me look at your neck.

Now I'm gonna start putting in for combat pay.

[panting]

David.

[growling]

David, please.

You have to let me help you, David.

-[coughs] -I know you don't want to hurt me.

David, I don't want to hurt you.

David!

[breathing heavily]

No!

[breathlessly] David,

tell him to let me go.

David, I know you don't want to hurt me.

David, you've got to listen to us.

The shadow spirit is not your friend.

[door opens]

[Derek] You have to reject the spirit.

-[growls] -[gasps]

It's your enemy.

You have to understand.

I didn't mean to kill my father.

It was never my fault. It was never my fault!

[Derek] David!

It's not your friend. It's a ghost.

It will haunt you for the rest of your life,

and it will destroy you.

[softly] David.

Leave her alone!

I don't want you anymore!

I want you to go away!

I want you to go back to Hell or wherever you came from!

[Derek] It's seeking refuge in David's body.

[gasps]

[screaming]

[Fiona] David!

Here.

David.

[Alex] Come on.

[Fiona] David, David.

He's not breathing.

No!

[Fiona] Are you crazy?

We have to force the spirit out first.

He's dying! Don't let him die!

Wait. Just wait.

It won't inhabit a dead body.

-We'll have to wait. -[sobbing]

He's not breathing.

Now we have to bring him back.

One, two, three,

four, five.

Oh, please.

One, two, three, four, five.

[Fiona] David.

[chanting in Native language]

...three, four, five.

-[gasping] -[coughing]

[sighs]

[Alex]What are the shadows that we cast on the world

and the shadows that follow us through life?

More than the forms of our bodies against the light,

sometimes they're thevery silhouettes of our souls.

Sometimes they're the darkest parts of us,

parts of ourselves we don't even know

and can never begin to understand.
