Original subtitles

[Rachel] No, you're gonna have to hike it. Come on.

Keep going. All right, all right, all right.

-I gonna... I win. I win. -No fair. What's the deal here?

Okay, I understand. Last time we raced, you weren't this fast.

-What's happened? -I've grown.

You have? Well, that's the end of head starts then, isn't it?

Okay, picture time.

But it's my turn to take your picture.

[Rachel] No, next time. I get this one, you get the next...

But you promised. You promised...

Next one. Go over by that...

-But, no, please. -Katherine, go.

I could take one of the both of you.

[exclaiming in surprise]

[man] I'm sorry.

I don't mean to intrude.

You know what? It'd be great.

I'd really like a picture of the two of us together.

All right, up we go. Up.

[both groaning]

-Ready? Right there? -Mm-hmm. Right here.

-All right. -Don't look so smug now.

[man] Here we go.

-Good one. -All right.

It was great. Good one.

[dog growling]

Hey, hey! Hey, get out of here!

-[barking] -[screaming]

Get back!

-Hey, come on. -Get back! Go!

Get! Go on! Get out of here! Get!

Get away from here!

Go on, get! Get out of here!

Get!

[barking]

All right. He's gone.

Oh, man, I wonder where that guy came from.

He's probably just a stray. Are you all right?

I think so.

A little shaken, but we're okay.

Kat, you all right?

Oh.

Yeah, thanks.

Oh!

Thanks for everything.

It's all right. Don't mention it.

I'm David Cord.

David, hi. Rachel Corrigan. This is my daughter Katherine.

-Hello, Katherine. -Hi.

Listen, you know, I just... I'm running the cabin up the road there.

You want somebody to walk you back?

Rachel, wait!

Yeah, someone to walk us home. I think that's...

-No, no. -What, no?

It's okay.

-You're sure? -It's only a dog.

Right. Only a dog.

So, looks like we got things handled here.

Hey, thanks for offering and everything, you know.

-Maybe I'll see you again. -Yeah, maybe.

[diabolical voice] Yes.

[voices] Yes.

She's the one.

She's the one.

She's the one.

She'll do just fine.

[roaring]

[theme music playing]

Impressive.

[laughing]

I'd join you, but exercise is against my religion.

I'm a practicing non-participant.

So how long have you been standing there?

Long enough to see that you're really good.

Thank you.

I hope you didn't have any more trouble from that stray.

What, the dog? No, he's...

You know what? I'm really glad you're here,

because it gives me a chance to say thank you very much.

Don't mention it.

You're gonna be around long?

Actually, no, we gotta leave tomorrow.

You know, Kat's got school and gotta get back home and...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I gotta head back to the Bay Area myself.

What, you live in San Francisco?

More like Sausalito.

We're almost neighbors. We're just over the bridge, south of the park.

[exhales]

Um...

It's our last night and everything. Do you wanna have dinner with us?

-I wouldn't want to impose. -No. No imposition.

Believe me, very casual. I promise.

-Seven o'clock okay? -Seven.

Okay.

That's right. We'll get back to you as soon as we have an answer, okay?

Well, that was The Legacy team in Barbados.

I told them the shipment just arrived, but they're still pushing for answers.

Yeah, it's hurricane season.

They need to pinpoint direct before the first storm hits.

Whoa. Look at these barnacles.

Well, assuming it is from the Alva Maria,

it's been down there for over 400 years.

"Since 1534."

If I remember correctly, the ship was lost with all hands.

Among them, Joseph Dellacorte,

the first Legacy Precept ever sent to the New World.

Well, why don't we start with X-rays

and the spectrographic analysis?

Yeah, we'll have it brought upstairs and we'll clean it.

Once we know where it is maybe we can compare it with the ship's manifest.

[Alex] Okay.

You know, I'd forgotten how good a home-cooked meal could be.

I bet you spend all your free time in the kitchen.

Not hardly.

You used to.

Well, once upon a time.

Well, you can cook for me anytime.

She's not a cook, she's a doctor.

Is that what you wanna do?

You wanna become a doctor like your mother?

I don't know. I haven't decided yet.

So, David, you're a contractor, right?

No, actually an architect.

-An architect? -Yeah.

My late husband was an architect.

Really? What was his name?

Patrick Corrigan. I mean, you wouldn't have known of him.

-David Cord? -Yeah.

The David Cord?

The Met in Minneapolis, the Lee Gallery in Atlanta.

Sometimes you get lucky.

You know, you'd be in the right place at the right time...

No, no, no. Your work is incredible.

I was in Atlanta last year,

and I went to the gallery and...

Oh! The way you use space, it's just...

That fountain in the courtyard, it moved me.

Your mother's being very kind.

I'm really tired. May I be excused?

Hey, we got brownies.

I'll pass.

You know, I do hope I get to see you again sometime.

Probably not. We're going home. The vacation's over.

You know what? David lives in Sausalito. So maybe...

Yeah, you have to let me buy you both dinner.

Good night, Mom.

Little girl.

All right, you go brush your teeth and I'll come tuck you in, all right?

-Good night, Katherine. -Good night.

She's a terrific kid.

But I gotta apologize for her. I don't know what's up.

She must be tired, I guess.

Well, look at this, the Polaroid came out really well.

No question where she gets her good looks.

Uh...

-How do you take your coffee? -With cream.

No sugar.

[beeping]

-[Derek] This is it? -Yep.

Too big to be a door knocker, too small to be a door.

[Derek] Kind of an odd shape. Looks like a platter.

Yeah, well, perfect for serving barnacles du jour.

What are the dimensions?

Twenty-two inches wide and an inch thick.

[Derek] Composition?

Well, the spectrographic analysis indicates pure sliver,

but I'm gonna have to clean it up to be sure.

All right, well, you get started and I'll call London

-and tell them we've begun. -Okay.

[thunder rumbling]

God, you remind me so much of Patrick.

You know, he gave me this ring in Venice.

He found it in Piazza San Marco. Isn't it beautiful?

-Very beautiful. -Yeah.

I'm sorry. I must be making you really uncomfortable.

Not at all. It's kind of...

proves that love is like energy.

You know, it's not created or destroyed, it just changes forms.

Oh, my God. Look at the time.

-One-thirty. -Yeah, I don't believe it.

I can go on and on,

-and I'm sorry about that. -No, I lost track.

It's my fault, you know.

-Yeah. -All right.

I enjoyed myself. Thank you.

-I am really glad you came. -So am I.

-I'm sorry. -No, I'm not.

Listen...

-When we get back in a couple of days... -Yeah.

...would you mind if I give you a call?

I'd like that.

Great. I mean, so would I.

Okay.

[diabolical voice] You did very well.

[voices] Yes, you did very well.

Yes.

-But-- -But what?

Well, I don't know.

I didn't think it was gonna be like this.

You wanted wealth and power, to be somebody.

Yeah, I know.

Such things have a price.

But just exactly what is it that you want?

Did you bring the photograph?

This isn't right.

Show me your hands.

Show us your hands.

Have you forgotten so soon?

The bargain you struck cannot be breached.

The photograph.

The photograph.

Where is it?

Where is it?

Now!

Where is it?

Very good.

But I don't understand.

Why Rachel Corrigan? She didn't do anything!

It's not the mother,

it's the daughter I need.

It's the daughter we need.

[laughing]

[phone ringing]

[Kat] I'll get it.

Who sent in flowers?

Hello?

Yes, she is.

-Mom, it's him. -Him who?

"Him" him.

David?

This is incredible. These flowers, they're beautiful.

Well, I'm glad you like them.

You know, actually I was just calling to make sure

you and your daughter got home all right.

Oh, yeah. No, we just got here and everything's fine.

Thanks for thinking about us.

Well, to be honest with you,

I've had a hard time thinking of anything else.

Well, that's really sweet of you. I just...

I'm really glad we met, you know.

It's a good thing, I think.

I was thinking you probably don't wanna cook.

So, I could drive over, pick you and Kat up and buy you dinner.

-What, dinner tonight? -Yeah.

It's kind of the idea.

Mom, you promised we could order pizza.

You know what?

David, I don't think dinner's gonna work tonight.

Hey, honey, why don't you see if you can find some water for those guys.

I understand.

Maybe some other time.

Well, absolutely. It's just,

you know, tonight, having just got in the door and everything,

and Kat's gotta get back to school, it's kinda hectic.

Look, you know, it's no problem. I understand completely.

Hey, how about tomorrow during the day when Kat's in school,

I could drive over, pick you up and we could go for coffee?

What, you wanna have coffee?

Yeah, I'd love to. About 11:00?

Pretty good. Yep. I am... My God, I'm in trouble here, aren't I?

What am I gonna do with you?

I'd say that's an open question.

See you then.

At 11:00, then. Okay, great.

-Bye. -Bye.

[sighing]

[Derek] So how's it coming?

Well, it's sort of like opening an oven

to find a souffle that exploded 400 years ago.

Well, hopefully it won't take the same number of years to clean it off.

No kidding.

Did you find the right chisels?

Yes, right here.

So, did you hear from Nick?

Yes, apparently he reached the Singapore house

and met with the Precept.

They plan on leaving in the morning for Dunhuang.

Cave of a Thousand Buddhas. He must be psyched.

Jet lagged is more likely.

He said he would call if he had anything worth reporting on the missing monk.

-How about Rachel? -Well,

she called this afternoon. Apparently she met someone.

She's gonna bring him by tomorrow to meet us.

It sounds serious.

After everything she's been through...

Yeah.

...it'll be nice to see her find someone again.

[hammering]

[Rachel] Can you believe how fast this weather has changed?

Look at the way the fog's starting to roll in.

[whistling]

What a fantastic old house.

Yeah, I thought you'd like it.

What exactly does the Luna Foundation do?

Uh... Mostly research, it's--

-Rachel, you're back. -Hey.

Alex, great. I want you guys to meet David Cord.

-This is Alexandra Moreau. -Hi.

And Derek Rayne.

Mr. Cord, your reputation precedes you.

My pleasure.

I've got to tell you that Steel Town complex you designed in Pittsburgh,

the simplicity of it...

You're being very kind.

You know what? David and I were having coffee,

and you can actually see this house from Ghirardelli Square.

No apologies. No attempts to be politically correct.

I often admired it myself from the mainland. When was it built?

The end of last century.

It withstood quite a few earthquakes, storm or two.

Not to mention fires.

You know, if you wouldn't mind I'd love a tour.

You know what, I've gotta get back to pick up Kat from after school, so...

But I would, I'd like to show Dave the grounds, if that's okay.

-Of course. -Yeah. Come on.

I really appreciate you taking the trouble to bring me out here.

No, it is no trouble. I wanted you to see this place,

and meet these people, because, you know,

they played a huge part in my life since my husband died.

Look, you don't have to talk about it.

No, no, I do. I...

Look, I know that we don't know each other very well

and I can't explain the way I feel, but it's just...

God, I'm really attracted to you.

Well, this sounds like a good beginning.

But there's things that have happened to me in the last few years,

-and I just... I can't talk about it. -So don't then.

-It's not that easy, David. -Yes, it is.

Look, why don't we just let whatever's going to happen happen.

You know, I want to be around you, you want to be around me.

It's a start.

Let's just see where it takes us.

What I'm trying to say is that maybe

you should just think twice before you decide to get involved with me.

I already have.

That's why I'm here.

[moaning]

Um...

There's, just on the other side of that pond, an amazing sculpture.

Sculpture.

Looks like Rachel may have finally found someone.

Mm.

Though I must say that I expected someone a bit more mature.

Really?

Yes. Didn't you?

Derek, we are approaching the 21st century.

Don't you think that's being a little chauvinistic?

Look, they are two people attracted to each other.

Now, if it were you and a younger woman,

would you have felt the same way?

-You're absolutely right. -Yeah.

Rachel is a remarkable woman, I can see why any man might be attracted.

Still, we need to run a background check on him.

Just in case.

Just in case of what? Bad credit?

Rachel may be part of The Legacy, but her private life is her own.

When you join The Legacy, you enter the inner circle.

Everyone outside that circle is suspect.

You mean that every time someone asks me out,

you run a security check on them?

-Absolutely. -No wonder I can't get a date.

Derek, how come I didn't know about this before?

I don't know. It's protocol.

It's the same for everyone. For the good of us all.

[diabolical voice] You were with her.

Tell me.

[voices] Tell us.

She's a beautiful woman.

Very intelligent.

We went for coffee, we talked...

She took you to Angel Island.

What does all this have to do with her daughter?

The girl has powers like no other.

Once in a hundred years will such a child be born.

Then why not just take her?

Because the mother protects the child from harm.

In Rachel Corrigan's mind,

her love remains focused on her daughter alone.

As long as this is true, no harm can come to the girl.

Others have tried and failed.

So I seduce the mother,

and you take her daughter?

Yes.

You learn quickly.

Very good.

Her needs make her vulnerable to your touch.

In the throes of passion, she'll forget her child.

What will you do with the girl once you have her?

She must be turned.

Turned?

Away from the light.

Away.

So the darkness can fill her soul.

Away.

[Kat] Mom?

Where's that picture of me and you that guy took?

"You and me." And that guy's got a name. It's David.

-You promised I could have it for my room. -I know.

-I can't find it anywhere. -[phone ringing]

Kat, if you'd just give me a minute, I'll help you look for it.

Rachel Corrigan.

Hey, David.

"Hey, David."

I'm just calling to say how much I enjoyed the other day.

We have to do it again.

Why, I'd love to.

You know, tomorrow's Saturday.

There's a house... Actually, I designed it for myself,

I thought maybe you'd like to come around to see it.

It's not that far. Less than half an hour.

Well, that sounds pretty fabulous.

But you know something,

Saturday's the day I spend with Kat, so that--

Well, bring her along.

Good idea. We'd love to.

I'll call you tomorrow with directions.

Okay, that'd be great. I'll talk to you then. Bye.

Mom! I don't want to spend all day at some stupid house.

You said we were going to The Legacy this weekend.

I did. We will. I just--

Alex promised I could help her.

Okay, you're right. I should have asked you before I said yes.

I got an idea.

Why don't I call Derek, find out what they're doing

and maybe I can take you out to The Legacy and pick you up on Sunday.

You won't be there?

Katherine, you can't have it both ways.

I mean, I just told David that I would come see his house,

I can't really call him back and cancel. That'd be rude, wouldn't it?

I guess.

Listen, honey, I know you didn't like him very much when you first met him,

but David is a really nice guy. He is.

And I want to spend some time with him,

so will you just give him a break, maybe a second chance?

For me?

-Okay. -Okay.

Okay.

Beat you to finding that picture. One, two, three, go!

It looks like you're making progress.

Any idea what we're looking at?

Well, it's just a guess, but I say it's some sort of a shield.

Rachel called. She wants to know if Kat could spend the weekend

because David wants to show her some house he designed.

A house? Where?

I don't know. Not far. You're so suspicious.

What's this?

According to this, around 1300,

a prince in Venice sold his soul for wealth and power.

And as part of the bargain, he was made to wear a silver band on each wrist.

All right, so that when his time came,

the Dark Side would always know where to find him.

What's the connection?

Well, when I shook David Cord's hand,

I thought I saw something similar.

[Alex] People do wear silver bracelets, Derek.

David Cord, in league with the Dark Side?

I only saw one, but it was very close.

What are you gonna tell Rachel?

Nothing.

Nothing until we know for sure.

-Hi. -There's my little helper.

Hi, Kat.

-Hi. -Thanks for taking her for the weekend.

Well, no problem. I'm only sorry you won't be staying here as well.

-Well... -All right, give your mom a hug.

-Hey, hey, hey. -We've got a lot of work to do.

-Bye, Mom. -Somebody's excited.

-Don't forget to do your homework. -Bye, Mom.

You have a minute?

No, actually I...

-What? -David Cord.

You like him a lot, right?

Yeah, I do.

Well, please don't take this the wrong way, but just be careful.

Exactly what about David do you object to?

Nothing. It's just that his rise to sudden celebrity

seems exceptionally quick,

and there's always a possibility he may be using you.

You did a background check on him. [scoffs incredulously]

Rachel, please. It's standard procedure. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Standard procedure for who? For you?

Damn it. Derek,

how dare you pry into my personal life?

I have given so much of my life to The Legacy as it is.

And David and me, and...

That's my business.

And if you cared about me, you'd respect that.

Rachel, please.

I'll be back for Kat in the morning.

See, it's been under water so long that it's taken all this time

just to scrape away the gunk and the barnacles,

just to see what's underneath it.

Hey.

Hey, everything all right?

Not really.

Wanna talk about it?

Mom's met this guy.

You don't think he's so hot, huh?

He's just

such a phony.

Phony? Like what?

Like everything he says.

When he came over for dinner... Mom's an okay cook.

It's just pasta, you know. And it's like a big deal to him.

It really barfed me.

-Barfed you? -That's how phony he is.

And my mom didn't even notice.

Hmm.

I see.

Rachel, no!

You know,

when my mother died my father must have dated a hundred women.

Tall ones, short ones.

Pretty ones, not so pretty ones.

And it really bothered me.

Because no matter how hard they try to be nice,

they just weren't my mom.

What'd you do?

Well, there was nothing I could do.

But every time he would show up with a new one, I'd get worried.

"Is this gonna be the one? How am I ever gonna call her mom?"

It was really hard, until I realized

that he wasn't gonna marry any of them. They were just dates.

Just dates?

Yeah, just dates. Nothing serious, nothing that lasted.

So all my worrying was for nothing.

But this is different. My mom is serious.

Well, maybe, but don't you think it's a little too soon to tell?

The important thing is not to judge. Just give this guy a chance.

I guess.

Tell you what. Why don't you give me a hand with this?

What is thing anyway?

Well, it's a mystery, and in order to solve it,

you have to make it shine.

So I want you to start working on this end.

-Okay. -Just rub it right here real hard.

There we go.

And I'll start on this end and we'll meet somewhere in the middle.

[buffing]

[whirring]

-You made it. -Yeah.

-I was starting to worry. -Sorry I'm late.

It's just, I had to drop Kat off at the Luna Foundation.

It's all right.

[gasping]

David.

Oh, my God, this is so beautiful. I mean,

you're such a designer, but I had no idea.

Well, who knows, it could be yours.

Come on, let's not get carried away here.

Anything is possible.

Yeah, "anything." Right.

[exclaiming]

-Watch your step. -Thank you. It's just...

I mean, the light and the space, it's...

-Then you like it? -I love it.

Take a look around.

-I can just help myself? -Yeah.

-Go ahead. -All right.

David, I want to see you.

You see,

everything's working out, just like you planned.

No, it isn't.

What do you mean? She's here.

But the girl isn't.

Well, of course not. What do you expect me to do,

seduce the mother with the daughter in the next room?

[sighing]

Next time I'll make sure she brings her.

There won't be a next time.

What do you mean?

Just keep her here.

Leave the girl to me.

[Rachel] David?

This is fantastic. Where are you?

I'll be right there.

[growling]

So, they're with those... That stand of trees?

[David] Yeah. Yeah, those are Japanese maple shoots.

[Rachel] God, it's so good.

If I wanted, I could have sat all afternoon.

Well, that's the whole tour.

Soup to nuts.

"The world stands out on either side

No wider than the heart is wide

-And above the--" -"Above the earth

is stretched the sky No higher than the soul is high"

Okay. I don't believe you know that poem.

This is kinda getting out of control, isn't it?

-All right, what's next? -How about something to eat?

You know, it's not quite up to the dinner you made me, but...

it's the best I could do.

[Kat] Coat of arms.

So this guy must have been a knight or something, right?

Yeah, something like that.

[reading Latin]

What does that mean?

Well, it's Latin for

"All little girls must do their homework."

-Does not. -Yes, it does.

Now, come on, we promised you mom, remember?

But it's a weekend.

Okay.

You get started on your homework,

and I'll let you come down and help me later, okay?

-Promise? -Promise.

-Okay. -Come on.

-You don't ever drink? Ever? -Uh-uh. No.

Or is it just that you don't drink with strange men in blankets on the floor?

No, ever. I mean, I must admit the blanket is unique.

As for you being strange, I don't think so.

Is that right?

I mean, a little odd perhaps, but, strange? No.

Well, wait until you get to know me better.

[laughing]

Will I?

What do you want?

To know you better.

I certainly hope so.

[kissing]

-David. David, wait, wait, wait. -What?

What's wrong?

Yeah. We're just going real too fast here.

What do you mean?

Well, I feel like I'm in high school, I guess.

No, I bet it's not right because I hated high school.

No, come on, don't lie to me.

I can see all those little girls just hanging off you.

Absolutely untrue. I was a complete geek.

[laughing]

That's funny. You don't kiss like a geek.

Well, finally got that ball of energy up doing her homework.

She wouldn't go until we finish polishing the entire piece.

Mm. And she did a very good job of it too.

[reading Latin]

"First among equals."

It's the motto of the Dellacorte family crest.

Then it has to be from the wreck of Alva Maria.

Yeah. Notify Barbados.

Okay.

[Rachel] We shouldn't.

[David] I know.

Kat.

Mom?

It's okay, honey. I'm here.

I was having such a weird feeling.

But it's all right.

Don't worry. Come on, I'll take you home.

Home?

Mm.

And everything's gonna be all right.

You'll see.

[diabolical voice] Yes.

You're not my mom. [screaming]

Be still.

[growling]

Be still, child.

[exhales]

[exhales]

[laughing]

[mysterious music playing]

-Rachel. -[exclaims]

I don't understand this.

You stole this?

I had to have it.

Well, then why didn't you just ask me?

And Kat's face, what...

Why is it everything else dark?

There's something you're not telling me. Something about Kat.

No, don't be silly.

Wait a minute.

This is not silly. This is serious.

Why did you take this without asking, and then why did you do this to it?

I had to.

You had to?

You better start explaining.

I can't.

Oh, God.

Oh, God, I can't believe I've been this blind.

-Rachel, listen-- -No, don't you touch me!

This has got nothing to do with me.

This is about my daughter. All you wanted was to get to my daughter?

Well, that's not true.

Listen, Rachel, you cannot stop her.

-Stop who? -Your daughter has already been taken.

-I don't believe you. -Well, you have to!

Rachel, wait! It's too late!

No. No, stop.

[shushing]

Do as I say.

Kat.

[screaming]

[Alex] No.

Alex?

[Kat] Please, stop.

Kat! Can you hear me?

Step aside.

I don't think so.

Kat!

Kat! Run, Kat, run!

[grunting]

Come.

[voices] Come with us.

Kat.

Kat!

Kat, where are you?

Mom?

-Kat? Honey? -Be still.

-I'm here. -Honey, come to me.

I can't!

Let her go!

Come and take her.

[screaming]

Rachel, no!

Mom.

[whispering]

Listen to me. You have to believe me. I never meant to hurt you.

-No, it's my daughter! -Mom!

You leave me alone.

Look, what's been done is done. You can't stop her.

No. You can't.

She is mine.

Help me. I thought she was you.

Please.

[grunting]

Mom! Mom!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mom!

Rachel, no! She's a banshee. She'll kill you.

Kat. Listen to me, honey.

Mommy!

Honey, she has no power over you.

Don't I?

-Come. -Mommy!

Let her be!

You!

This is no concern of yours.

Or have you forgotten our bargain?

Bargain?

I've always done everything you asked, but I did not agree to this.

You disobey?

Forgive me.

David.

[David] I'm not doing what you say anymore.

[groaning]

[David grunting]

You would defy me?

Then it's time to collect what I'm due.

[growling]

[screaming]

[Rachel] Sometimes our livestakes such an unexpected turn.

[sobbing]

Two strangers meet,

find some comfort in each other's touch,

and then move on.

Not quite love.

And yet there are times I wonder what might have been.
