[bell dinging]

[fire alarm ringing]

Well, I just got off the phone with the fire department.

And tonight's blaze at St. Nichols

bears all the same earmarks as the one at First Xavier's Baptist.

No evidence of flammable materials?

None so far.

Spontaneous combustion, intense burning,

then the flames die out on their own?

There was one difference though. They recovered a body.

It's charred beyond recognition.

So now we have eight fires in three cities.

Only information from Boston points to a teenage cult.

But I am having a little bit of difficulty buying that.

Three churches in Boston, three in Dallas.

And now two in San Francisco.

That means it's only a matter of time

before another one goes up in flames in our backyard.

Well, Derek picked a great time to be in London.

Well, I am sure he'd rather be here

than debriefing the Council on Sloan's disappearance.

Yeah.

[phone ringing]

-[Nick] You expecting someone? -No.

Well, check it out.

Yes, Jonathan.

Who is she?

Okay, this should be very interesting. Thanks.

[doorbell chiming]

Got it.

Hi.

Can I help you?

The guard at the gate told me to come up.

I am Kristin Adams. I am with the Boston House.

Boston House? Nobody mentioned...

I came to follow up on the fire at First Xavier's Baptist Church.

I didn't know you guys were still active in this investigation.

Mm-hmm.

We were just looking into another fire.

There was a second fire? When?

A few hours ago. St. Nichol's over in Columbus.

That's the second occurrence in San Francisco.

If you'd just wait here for a minute, I'll be right back.

[sighs]

[speed dialing]

[line ringing]

[woman on phone] Good morning.

Derek Rayne, please.

One moment, please.

[Derek] Derek Rayne.

Hi, Derek, it's Nick.

Hey, Nick. How's your investigation going?

We're plugging away.

Look, I was just curious if you know anything

about the Boston House sending anybody out here.

It's the first time I've heard of it. What's his name?

Kristin Adams. You know her?

Not personally. She led the investigation in Boston.

She's, uh, quite young.

She has this very special... Okay, can you hold on for a moment?

Yeah.

They need me back in the Council meeting.

I am sure you'll make Miss Adams feel at home.

Okey doke. Talk to you later.

Just spoke to our Precept Derek Rayne and he said to make you

feel at home.

What, you scared her off already?

[scoffs] Didn't take long, huh?

[theme music playing]

[Alex] Graduated with honors from Harvard in anthropology

at age 19.

So she skipped a few grades along the way.

Spent three summers abroad on archeological digs in the Middle East,

Latin America, and India.

Okay, so she's a prodigy with bonus miles.

Now the question is, why did she blow in and out of here

so quickly.

I am sure she'll explain everything when she comes back.

[Nick] Mm.

I am sure, if she comes back.

[woman over PA] Attention, passengers.

Bus 232 bound for Los Angeles is now boarding at bay six.

Excuse me, have you...

Excuse me, have you seen this boy?

Excuse me, have you seen this boy?

Sorry, no.

Thanks, all the same.

You look lost.

[chuckles]

Yeah, do you know where the Y is?

All alone in the big city huh?

Kinda.

Cindy Smith.

David Johansen.

Now, you know one person in San Francisco.

If you want, I can introduce you to some of my friends.

Yeah?

Yeah, a bunch of us live together in this really cool house.

You can hang out for a while if you want.

It's a lot nicer than the Y.

Do you always cruise the bus station looking for new friends?

No.

I am going to a youth group that provides support to teenagers.

If you're not interested--

Well, I didn't say I wasn't interested.

It's your call.

Let's go.

Okay. The car's over here.

[Derek]Sorry, I couldn't get back to you earlier.

We're still wrestlingwith the Sloan situation here.

Any thoughts on how to get him back?

Well, we could recreate some kind of gateway to the Dark Side,

but there are no guarantees we could retrieve Sloan even if we did.

Anything new in the church fires?

Frances Carlin called from the coroner's office,

and asked me to stop by.

And how are things going with Ms. Adams?

Interesting.

We found out her trip here wasn't sanctioned by Boston.

Somewhat irregular, but not unheard-of.

I am not really crazy about the idea

of her running around doing a solo act

while we're trying to conduct an investigation.

I remember expressing those same sentiments about you

in a few occasions.

[phone ringing]

Hello.

I need information on a license plate right away.

It's her.

3-S-B-I-2-5-8.

I need a name and a street address as soon as possible.

-Where are you? -We're wasting time,

just get me the information as soon as you can.

Yeah, we'd like to know where you are.

I'll call back.

You do that.

You see what I am saying?

Well, it sounds like Ms. Adams might be onto something.

Keep me informed.

All right.

Why do I have the feeling that she's throwing the party,

and we're doing the catering?

And this is Robert.

-Hi. -Hi, David.

-Nice to meet you. -Likewise.

So you guys, you all live here?

Isn't it great?

Oh, there's a game room in the back.

What do you guys do all day?

Get out the word.

The word?

Of the Enlightened One.

You know, I appreciate the offer and everything,

but this really isn't for me.

I am so glad you could join us.

I got to go.

Go where, David?

Back to Harrisville, Wisconsin,

and the father who beat you?

You can leave if you want to,

but I hate to think of you wandering those streets falling prey

to the sick monsters that lurk in the alleyways.

We can give you everything you need right here.

I am just really not into religion.

You mean the Enlightened One.

Well, I can assure you

that we're not into religion either.

[male teen] You don't have to do this.

[Ethan] Forget... I am not gonna...

Is there a problem, Ethan?

Uh... No, sir.

No problem.

How did you just...

The ways of the Enlightened One will be revealed to you in time, David.

For now, have faith.

And the rest will follow.

[police siren wailing]

[Frances] And you can see from the pattern of the charring

that the heat was extremely intense.

Have you been able to identify the body yet?

As a matter of fact, I made some dental plates.

Hello.

I wonder where you're gonna turn up next.

When I phoned the house, Alex told me you were on your way here,

so I thought it was best that I join you.

No problem. By the way, I have

the license plate that you anted.

That's from a stolen car. I know, Alex told me.

What was that all about?

It's not important.

Frances was just giving me an overview

on the condition of our victim.

You know, I think that can wait. You and I need to talk.

And I think that can wait.

Nick.

I was just telling Kristin

that we happened to pull a dental impression.

I'd like you to meet Father Donald Hawthorne.

The priest from the church.

Well, at least we got a name now.

So what did you wanna show me?

Us.

Take a look at this.

It's like a triangle.

[Frances] Yeah, but take a closer look.

You see right here?

There are three triangles inside of a circle.

He was branded first,

and then left to die in the fire.

[sighing] This was no accident.

Well, it looks like our boy moved up from arson to murder.

Frances, thank you so much for this information.

Sure.

Um, Nick, you and I can review our notes later this afternoon.

Can you believe her?

Hey, don't look at me.

The two of us were getting along just fine before you got here.

[woman over PA] Dr. Erica, line two. Please Dr. Erica, line two.

Hold on a sec.

We need to talk.

Well, I completely agree, but right now, we don't have the time.

I have all the time in the world.

I am afraid I don't.

I spoke to Andrew Martin.

And he told you I am on leave.

You failed to mention that.

This is a Legacy case. I am a Legacy member.

What does it matter who paid for the plane ticket?

We work as a team here.

Your idea of teamwork is to call when you need information.

And, frankly, that doesn't fly with me.

[clears throat]

With all due respect,

I am not looking to win Ms. Congeniality.

There's no danger of that.

I just want to find out who started the fires.

So do we. And, maybe, if you let us,

we might actually be able to help.

I'd appreciate that

as soon as I get back.

From where?

Really, don't worry.

I'll meet you back at the house.

[Jordan] And when the Enlightened One came down from heaven,

he brought with him the truth,

that the so called word of God

preached by organized religion is a sham.

The churches promote blind faith,

and urge their followers to treat each other

with Christian charity,

as long as a good part of that charity ends up in their collection plates.

The church breeds weakness.

They tell their followers that when they're struck

to turn the other cheek.

To return violence with love and compassion.

But if we do not defend ourselves against attack,

we simply end up becoming battered victims.

Isn't that true, David?

Yes.

The Enlightened One tells us that violence

must be countered with violence.

This is the tool by which we can help stop the spread of lies

that's been promoted throughout the world

by the charlatans of the cloth.

We are engaged in a holy war,

a righteous war to help free our fellow men and women

from being blinded by these false prophets.

The Enlightened One,

[all chanting] angel of light and might,

our father who came down from heaven,

give us the strength to cleanse mankind

and infuse the spirit of the masses with your truth.

I spent the last hour on the phone bringing Derek up to speed

before he got in his chartered flight.

He finished the Sloan debriefing?

Yeah, finally.

So what have you got?

I am still trying to figure out the geographic pattern to these fires.

[knocking on door]

Could somebody let me into the control room please?

Oh, impressive.

Definitely far homier than the control room back in Boston.

Well, most of the time, this is our home.

Alex, it is such a pleasure to meet you.

I've heard so much about you since joining The Legacy.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Even though, there have been a few improvements over the years,

The Legacy remains a boys' club.

So the success you've had in the field

has made it a little easier for the rest of us.

Well, thank you. I never thought of myself as a trailblazer.

Well, maybe you should start.

Okay, there, St. Joan, hate to break up the tea party.

Our resident chauvinist.

Yes, we've met.

So where did you head off to?

I was at the bus depot this morning

where I saw a young woman proselytizing a wide-eyed boy

from the Midwest.

Do you think she might be a member of the cult

responsible for the fires?

Mm-hmm. But I lost them when they drove away.

So this afternoon, after the coroner's office,

I went back to the bus depot hoping she'd be there, but no luck.

I thought I'd review your archives,

and see if there was any information about that mark we found

on Father Hawthorne's skull.

Great. I'll already start pulling out some reference books.

Well, you girls go to it,

I'll just be here playing with the maps,

chopping a cord of firewood, killing a bear or two.

I appreciate a man who knows how to make himself useful.

Smart and funny.

So... Nick seems like an interesting guy.

"Interesting." Well, that's one way of putting it.

Must be nice to work with somebody like that.

Well, you must have a Nick equivalent in Boston.

No, I am the youngest there by about 20 years.

We have three very stodgy men

and a woman named Jane Witherspoon.

[laughs knowingly] I've met Jane.

"Backbone of wrought iron

supporting 65 years of proper Brahmin upbringing."

-You do know Jane. -Yeah.

Needless to say, the Boston House can be somewhat...

stifling.

Now, don't get me wrong. I love the work.

I feel very fortunate to be part of this organization.

But sometimes, I do get a terrible sensation

that one morning I am going to look in the mirror,

and see Jane Witherspoon staring back at me,

and I wonder where my life went.

I know what you mean.

It's just this life, this place,

I keep trying to find a balance between my personal life

and my work here, but I...

Well, sometimes I wonder if it's possible.

I am sure some of the gentlemen

you've met along the way have sought you out.

Well, maybe I've just been preoccupied with what I've been doing.

Anyway, I tend to be a fairly private person.

Too private for a cup of coffee?

Oh! Alex, I found it.

This sign here

was used by a 17th century French priest,

a Julian Pinchot.

Okay, 'cause the upside down triangle represents the Unholy Trinity.

Right, says here,

"Pinchot took up the practice of the Dark Side

to try to destroy the church from the inside."

"Destroy the church." Sounds familiar.

[Kristin] Mm-hmm.

[horn blowing]

Troubled, my son?

Uh...

No, everything's okay.

I am worried about you, Ethan.

Lately, your faith seems to be wavering.

[stuttering] I am just a little confused is all.

We are all a little confused about life,

but there is no room to be confused about your conviction.

Do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

We made our voices heard with the fires.

But now that we're escalating our war and making a bolder statement,

I need to know you're with me 100%.

I am with you, Jordan.

I think before we strike again,

we should spend some quality time together.

So you think that the members of this cult are disciples of a priest

that went bad over 300 years ago?

Well, actually this mark would signify

that they are the disciples of the Enlightened One.

Otherwise known as Lucifer.

And if this cult leader is a follower of Lucifer,

there's a good chance that he's a practitioner of the black arts.

That'll go a long way to explain the paranormal nature of the fires.

Once he strikes again,

he could move on to any other city. We've got to stop him.

Unfortunately, we have no idea where to begin.

I mean, the burnings all seemed to be random.

No. What if we stop looking at each city individually,

-and start looking at the big picture? -Go on.

There's nine points in the diagram, right?

[computer beeping]

That could be it.

Overlap the three maps

and line up the eight previous targets

to form triangles.

[Alex] The ninth target completes the design.

The Church of the Holy Redemption.

Let's go.

-No, I want to call the police. -No.

Look, they maybe able to stop the fire and save somebody's life.

If the police show up, they could scare away the leader

and he could go into hiding.

Then we'd lose his trail forever.

We can stop him ourselves

but we've got to be there to do it.

All right.

Come on.

Look.

Why don't you guys step outside and do a perimeter sweep

-and I'll have a look in here? -All right.

You mean, keep the weaker sex out of harm's way? I don't think so.

Come on, Kristin, it's not about that, all right?

You know, it's called covering each other's flanks.

It's part of being a team player.

I didn't fly all the way from Boston just to be a bystander.

-In that case, carry on. -All right.

[male teen] Come on, Father.

[Father Reynolds] Come on, stop it.

Father.

[Father Reynolds grunting]

[teens giggling]

[whispering] Well, we have to help him.

All in good time.

It's no use, Father.

One day, when we meet in the hereafter,

you're going to thank me for putting you on the right path.

[Nick whispering] Kristin.

Ethan.

Kristin?

[voice amplifies and distorts] That's far enough.

[menacing growl]

This way.

We're trapped.

[maniacal laughter]

Whoa! You're not going running around out there with a human flame thrower.

You don't understand, we have to get them.

Who's Ethan?

He's my brother.

Great. Stay here.

[Alex] They disappeared into thin air.

[Nick] Why the hell didn't you tell us about your brother?

Would it have made any difference?

It might have been the difference.

You know, it's bad enough that you

put yourself and your brother in jeopardy,

but to do that to me and Alex...

I never intended to jeopardize your safety.

But you did. The moment you shouted out his name.

The point is, we trust each other with our lives,

that's the way it works here.

Look, we all want to get this guy.

And now, we want to find your brother.

So this would be a good time for you to stop treating us like the enemy.

I was afraid that if anyone found out about Ethan,

they would take me off the investigation.

You know how we have that strict rule

about mixing business with personal agendas.

So I heard.

[Alex] What he means is that

we've been known to bend the rules from time to time.

When we're not breaking them.

So tell us about Ethan.

He vanished about six months ago.

Around the time of first church fire in Boston.

Someone who saw the fire start described a teenage boy

walking away from the burning church.

That boy was Ethan.

Is he the type of person who would join a cult?

I didn't think so, but these things tend to surprise everyone I guess.

Well, does he have a history of violence?

No.

Ethan is the kindest, gentlest person that I know.

He gets it from my mother.

Sweet, but weak.

I assume you take after your father.

Yes, I think I got a few of his genes.

Very hard on himself and those around him,

always striving for perfection.

It spells disaster for Ethan who is a classic underachiever.

He could never really measure up in my father's eyes.

I am sorry that I didn't follow protocol back at the church.

But until I saw Ethan, I didn't know if he was still alive.

Now that we know he is, we're gonna find him.

This evening, we went into the night

to wage our ongoing battle.

We didn't achieve our goal,

but we did capture one of the enemy.

A man of the cloth

whose daily sermons attack our angel.

We have also learned that Ethan is related

to another one of our enemies.

Not a preacher. No.

This one is from an organization far more dangerous.

I believe your sister can be saved.

But the good priest here must be made to suffer the consequences

of years of spreading lies.

Come, Ethan.

Gather strength by vanquishing your enemy.

[Ethan gasps]

The Enlightened One is all knowing and all powerful.

You need to know what happens

[voice distorts] if you don't honor your commitment to him

and to the cause.

[choking]

[Derek] So for the past six months, she's been searching for her brother?

[Alex] Well, she didn't want to say anything

because she's afraid she'd be taken off the case.

Well, if her brother is a member of this cult,

it does give her a unique incentive.

Dr. Rayne. Kristin Adams.

We do not stand on formality here. So please call me Derek.

Alex and Nick just told me about your brother.

Then you know I'll do anything to get him back.

And we'll do anything to help.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

So the question is now,

how to find him.

Since we broke up their last party,

there's no real way of knowing where they're gonna strike next.

The Church of the Holy Redemption does complete his pattern.

Maybe they will try and hit there?

Why don't I stake it out for a few days?

What happens after this madman

burns down his ninth church and completes his design?

Does he just move on to a new city and start all over again?

Or does he go underground?

[cell phone ringing]

If he does, what happens to his followers?

Yes.

Kristin, it's Ethan.

Ethan, where are you?

They're after me, sis.

Okay, try to calm down and tell me where you are.

5525, Market Street.

5525, Market Street. Stay right there.

No, listen, I can't. They're gonna kill me.

Go and hide some place and look for a...

Red Mustang.

Look for a red Mustang. We'll be there as soon as we can.

Okay.

Hurry.

All right, I'll warm up the chopper.

[Kristin] I don't want to lose him again, Nick.

[Nick] We'll be in the city in ten minutes.

What do you know about Kristin's background?

Nick and I did a check on her bio,

but it was all pretty sketchy.

Well, I know that her father Justin Adams

was a consultant in Legacy business.

Consultant?

Yeah, quite a well-known scientist from the New England area.

Pioneer in DNA dating.

The Legacy occasionally used him on site

to verify the age on certain artifacts.

Hmm. "Used him"? Did he die?

Well, no one's certain.

He went out on a Legacy dig and never returned.

There was an investigation, but it was inconclusive.

Some suspected foul play,

and others believe that he may have chosen to disappear

from society for personal reasons.

I wonder what Kristin believes.

Well, the Precept of the Boston House told me

Kristin is convinced her father was still alive,

and determined to find him at all costs.

First her father, then her brother.

You have to admire her tenacity.

Well, here it is.

A treatise written by Cardinal Richelieu.

It says that

Julian Pinchot burned churches across France.

Their locations formed the sign of Lucifer.

[Alex] Just like today. How did they stop him?

His powers were counteracted by a cross made of ironwood

which bore the inverted mark of the Enlightened One.

Creating the mark of the Holy Trinity

effectively reversing the evil, and turning it back on its source.

Does it say how they stopped him?

Well, no one is certain.

He simply vanished.

There were reports

of Pinchot's ghost haunting the sites of burned out churches.

So this modern-day anarchist

could be the reincarnation of Pinchot.

Yeah, or disciple. Anything is possible.

[Kristin] We have to keep looking, Nick.

[Nick] We've been around the block twice. He could be anywhere.

He's got to come to us.

It's gonna be all right.

You don't have any brothers or sisters, do you?

No.

Then you have no idea what I am going through.

No.

[man yelling]

There he is.

Guys!

[Nick] Hey, stop!

[grunting]

-Ethan, are you okay? -[Ethan coughs]

-Come on. -You all right?

Wow.

You work here?

For the time being, yeah.

[Derek] Ethan.

I am so glad you're here.

So am I.

This is Derek Rayne and this is Alex Moreau.

How are you doing?

Well, I am better now.

Alex, why don't you take them into the living room?

I'll be right there.

Okay, follow me, you guys.

So Ethan said that this guy's name was Jordan.

Jordan?

Hebrew for "descender."

Fallen to Earth. Just like Lucifer.

I think we have a weapon to stop him.

I need you to get started on this, right away.

[Nick] Wooden cross?

You think that's gonna do it?

It defeated Pinchot in the 17th century.

Hopefully, it will work again.

All right.

[Kristin] Ethan, are you all right?

Yeah.

I just...

I can't believe that you've been looking for me this whole time.

Well, that's what big sisters are for.

Ethan.

It's very important you tell us whatever you know

about this man Jordan.

It's all pretty fuzzy.

It feels like it's been one long dream.

One long nightmare.

[Derek] But whatever you can remember

will be helpful.

[Ethan] Well, uh...

[clears throat]

I met him in Boston.

It's hard to explain,

but he seemed to have all the answers that I was looking for.

He filled a void.

I guess.

But he could be so many things.

He could be warm and caring

and then he could be violent and frightening.

But everything he did seemed so right.

Did he mention the Enlightened One?

The Enlightened One,

the angel of light and might,

our father who came down from heaven--

Ethan.

I think you should rest, okay.

Looks like Jordan's been doing some heavy-duty brainwashing.

When Jordan finds out that Ethan got away,

he might go underground again.

So we have to find out what Ethan knows about him, now.

Yeah.

It's okay. I am all right, Kristin.

Jordan said that the ways of the church were weak.

And that we had to be strong.

He said that feeble ministers play the devil game

to fill their churches

and to pay the mortgages on their temples.

Only the Enlightened One

can guide us with his undefiled wisdom.

Only he can lead us down the path towards true righteousness.

And it was all a lie, wasn't it?

Yes.

But a very seductive one.

Where's Jordan's safe house?

-I can take you there. -No.

I am not gonna allow his life to be put in danger again.

It's time I took responsibility for myself, Kristin.

This is something that I need to do.

[Ethan] That's it, right there.

All right, let's stick to the plan.

[Ethan] Okay.

-Let's go. -No, you're staying here.

Listen to your sister. Stay here until it's over.

I'll go have a quick look around.

-[Nick gasps] -[Derek] Nick, get back.

[distorted voice] You've done well, Ethan.

Ethan.

Ethan!

[Derek] Stay back.

Ethan!

[Kristin] Ethan!

[Ethan] Join us, Kristin.

Jordan can save you like he saved me.

My God, Ethan, don't listen to him. He's pure evil.

No, only the false prophets are truly evil.

Join us, Kristin.

Release my brother.

Your brother as you knew him no longer exists.

Don't even try it.

Let him go and take me instead.

I may take you as well.

Or I may send all of you to meet your pitiful God.

[Derek grunts]

[Derek and Jordan grunting]

You don't know who you're dealing with.

I know exactly who you are.

[sizzling]

[Jordan screaming in pain]

[unearthly screeching]

It's over. I am so sorry.

I am sorry.

[Kristin] I hope you don't mind, we made ourselves at home in your kitchen.

If its all right we'll stay here for a little while,

just until Ethan's well enough to go back to Boston.

You're more than welcome to stay as long as you want.

I just might take you up on that idea.

Ah! Good morning.

Hey.

Ethan, you look like you're recovering nicely.

Yeah, I feel a lot better.

-Are there anymore eggs? -You're in luck.

I am just planning on making one of my

special San Francisco oyster omelets.

He's kidding, right?

Oh, no, he's not.

I never kid about stuff like that.

This is authentic Navy SEAL food.

It, uh, sounds good to me.

See, I knew I'd like this kid.

You're not actually related to her, are you?

You bet.

[Nick] Well, she was in rare form last night.

Picked up the cross on a dead run,

faked left, and then plastered the guy with it.

I didn't know they taught that at Harvard.

Well, they don't.

I was the captain of the field hockey team at St. Mary's.

Maybe you'd like to scrimmage sometime.

You know, maybe we should stick to some less physical things.

You know, something you'd have a chance at.

-You play chess? -Bad idea. She's a killer.

[scoffs] Is there anything you don't do well?

Well, I am not great at thank yous.

And I owe one to all of you.

You risked your lives last night.

That's part of the job.

It's called family.

[Kristin] Family.

It shapes who we are.

It defines and it protects us.

Ours had been torn apart,

but now Ethan is back.

Maybe tomorrow our father will return from his journey.

In the meantime, I take comfort in knowing

we will always have a family in The Legacy.

[theme music playing]
