[hooves clopping]

[horse neighing]

[moans]

[man] Kristin! Kristin!

Kristin? Kristin?

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Must be too much late night reading.

Well, I didn't mean to startle you,

but this just arrived by courier.

Hmm.

-It's from my brother Ethan. -Hmm.

Will you take that?

He's back at college,

and he went home for semester break and found this waiting for me.

So, he sent it here.

Well, according to the postmark,

it was originally sent from Istanbul over two months ago.

-Can you get that? -Yeah.

Thank you.

It's a map.

It's written in...

some kind of language I've never seen before.

It's not Latin.

Seems to be some archaic form.

Hmm.

That's not paper. Maybe it's parchment. Sheepskin?

-Or human skin. -What?

Well, I've seen it before.

That's just lovely. A medieval Hannibal Lecter.

[chuckles]

Why not have Alex scan it into the computer.

She may be able to tell us more about it.

And you have no idea who might've sent it to you?

No.

[thunder rumbles]

Come on.

Come on.

"Ash Wednesday. Bring map. Come alone."

[theme music playing]

[Derek] So, it's genuine?

[Alex] As far as I can tell.

It dates from about 1300 AD.

[Derek] That would coincide with the times of the Crusades.

Yet it doesn't seem to be a map of the Holy Land.

And according to the spectrographic analysis,

-it is made of human skin. -Ugh.

That's barbaric.

Or an act of faith

by someone who valued the map more than life itself.

The writing is archaic French,

although it seems to be in some kind of code.

[Kristin] Hey, what is that?

Up in the upper left-hand corner?

A shield with the Crusader's crest.

Well, it probably belonged to the man who drew the map.

Well, then the question is, a map of what?

Well, the only thing more valuable to the Crusaders than Jerusalem itself

was the chalice.

The Holy Grail.

The cup that Christ was supposed to have used during the Last Supper.

A map to the Holy Grail?

Of course, there's no proof that the chalice actually exists.

Well, except that the Crusaders

thought it was important enough to die for it.

Great, like Jacques de Molay.

Last grand master of the Knights Templar.

Warrior monk and member of The Legacy.

Accused of stealing the chalice

and put to death by Philip of France in 1314.

The Legacy always believed it was Philip

who made a pact with the Dark Side

and killed de Molay for refusing to reveal where he'd hidden the chalice.

-So, it's still out there somewhere. -In theory.

All you have to do is find it.

[calls to prayer]

The lady would like a tour?

Saint Sophia?

Ah! The harbor perhaps.

No, thank you. I have other plans.

As madam wishes.

If you should change your mind,

please ask for Mr. Ali.

Do not accept any cheapskate imitations.

I can be arranging anything.

Thank you. I'll try to keep that in mind.

[man] Don't turn around.

I said don't turn.

Did you bring the map?

-Who are you? -The map.

Did you bring it?

Yes.

But I don't have it with me. It's some place safe.

[man] Bring it tomorrow

to the Well of Souls at 5:00 in the afternoon.

What about my father?

What about Justin Adams? Is he all right?

Excuse me.

[Derek] She took the map? When?

Must've been Tuesday, 'cause I haven't seen her since.

-You find anything in her room? -I'll show you in a sec.

The map was sent to her in the first place. Why not just ask for it?

[Nick] Obviously, it's something that she didn't wanna share with us.

Found this in her wastebasket.

Well, did you call her brother Ethan?

[Alex] Yeah, he hasn't heard from her.

Don't you think we should contact the Boston House?

No.

We may have to go a little further than the Boston House.

-Think camels. -[Derek] Istanbul?

Hotel Metropole.

Ash Wednesday.

That's today.

Doesn't leave us much time. You think she's trying to follow the map?

Do we still have it on computer?

Yeah, I scanned it in. I'll keep working on it.

J-A. Justin Adams.

That's Kristin's father.

It already crossed my mind. It has to be.

Well, we better get packing.

[Ali] I'm being so sorry.

Look, I know that you have to protect the privacy of your guests,

but it's urgent that I find Miss Adams.

I would love to assist you, sir,

but unfortunately, my hands are tied.

Well, maybe we can find a way to untie them.

She's asking to go to the Well of Souls.

I'm saying to her it's very bad.

But she is insisting.

So, I find her a driver.

How long ago did they leave?

About an hour. Maybe two.

All right. And how do I get to the Well of Souls?

You must be very careful.

But I will show you how to get there.

[Kristin] You stay here and wait for me, okay?

Hello?

Justin Adams?

Wait! Where are you going?

Wait!

Come back!

Come back!

All right. Okay.

Who are you? What do you want?

[speaks French]

The map? I didn't bring it.

[speaks French]

Where's my father?

[speaks French]

I didn't bring it!

[speaks French]

Go to hell!

Kristin!

Kristin?

She still alive?

Yeah, well, whoever it was is gone.

She's barely conscious.

Okay.

-I don't know. -Drink it. It'll make you sleep.

Well, I don't normally drink.

I think, it's safe to say you can make an exception tonight.

So, can you tell us now, please, what's going on?

[sighs]

My father has been missing for so long.

I got so tired of the waiting and the wondering,

not knowing if he was alive.

I had to come.

But how did you...

We found the burned fragments of the message in your room.

How did you know that there'd be secret writing?

[Kristin] Oh.

There was a game we used to play when I was a little girl.

Soon as I saw my father's mark on the paper, I knew.

You should've told me.

Well, the note said to come alone. I couldn't take that chance.

The man who attacked you, he spoke French?

[Kristin] Hmm-mm.

He had a sense of evil about him unlike anything I've ever known.

[Nick] You said he asked for the map.

Why didn't you give it to him?

Well, it's the only real connection I have to my father.

There's a possibility this whole thing is a trap.

-Your father may already be dead. -No. He's alive.

I can feel it. Here, more than ever.

Back at the Well, before you arrived, I remember hearing a voice.

[man] Kristin.

-Did you recognize it? -No.

But whoever it was, they knew my name.

Mm.

This is going straight to my head.

So, I think, I'll head up to my room while I still can.

[Derek] You want us to escort you to your room?

No, I'm fine, really.

Please don't misunderstand.

I really do appreciate your coming here. I do.

But some things have to be done alone.

We understand.

Please don't do it again.

Make sure she gets to her room.

Yeah.

You need help finding your room?

No. No, not really.

Just thought I'd check out the hotel before I turned in.

Nice color scheme.

Hmm-mm.

You afraid I'll slip out the side door?

Well, the thought had crossed my mind.

I hated deceiving you.

But it's hard to explain what it's been like for me the past two years.

Big hole in your heart.

Can't fill it, no matter how hard you try?

Yeah. You do know.

So, I suppose this could end my career with The Legacy.

Well, I wouldn't sweat it too much.

If disobeying the rule book was really a big problem,

I'm sure I would've been out of a job years ago.

-Lock the door. -Okay.

-Good night. -Good night.

Alex, we found Kristin.

-How is she? -She's all right.

It was a close call, but she's all right.

What time is it there?

It's after midnight. Tell me what you've got.

Well, remember the shield on the map?

It turns out it belonged to Jacques de Molay himself.

Now, according to this, Philip IV of France

had him arrested along with every other member of his order,

on Friday the 13th, October 1307.

Now, apparently Philip wanted the chalice

and believed that the Templars had found it.

When de Molay refused to tell him where it was hidden,

Philip had him burned alive.

So, he cursed Philip to follow him in death,

but never reach heaven.

[Alex]Well, that's the amazing part.

Philip did die within the year.

[Derek]So, assuming the curse worked,

his spirit's been walking the earth for 700 years.

And Jacques de Molay?

[Derek]His ashes were scattered to the wind.

They say, on dark nights,

you can still see his riderless horse

running through the streets of Paris.

What about the map?

Well, I'm still working on the topographical features of the region.

It shouldn't take much longer.

Now, I don't understand what all this has to do with Justin Adams.

He was a scientist.

An expert in DNA identification.

The Legacy asked him to

authenticate a document that had surfaced in Istanbul.

A map that was thought to have been drawn in Molay's blood.

-This map? -Possibly.

It's hard to say. He disappeared before he could complete his work.

The rumors were that his throat was cut

and his body burned beyond recognition.

That's horrible. Does Kristin know about this?

[Derek] No.

Since the rumors were never confirmed,

London thought it was better not to alarm her more than she already was.

Okay, so what's the next move?

[Derek] The map is the key.

Work out the details as best you can, and then fax it to me.

-I wanna have a look. -[Alex] Absolutely.

-Okay. -Okay.

I'll hear from you, bye.

[muffled grunt]

[man] If I were going to kill you,

you'd already be dead.

Promise not to scream and I'll release you.

You were the one who told me to go to the Well of Souls.

-Yes. -Where's my father?

Give me the map and I'll take you to him.

Why should I trust you?

Because you have no choice.

That's centuries old.

The forests have disappeared and the castles have been destroyed.

How are you gonna read that?

[man] I look for the features that remain unchanged.

Those mountains...

If the map is right, what we're looking for lies there.

Why didn't my father come himself?

He was afraid his presence might bring you harm.

From the man who attacked me at the Well of Souls?

Not a man.

A soulless spirit.

All that's left of Philip of France.

Why's he pursuing my father?

When Philip was king,

he made a pact with the Dark Side.

To fulfill it, he must find and destroy the chalice.

And he thinks my father will lead him to it?

Philip has always underestimated the power of the chalice

to protect those who believe in it.

You must have faith.

Faith like my father.

[sighs]

Chalice.

You know, I've never understood how a man could give up everything,

his friends and family,

to pursue something that may not even exist.

And not even say goodbye.

Goodbyes can be difficult.

Perhaps he meant to spare you that.

Or maybe he was running.

I've known him for a long time.

Your father's never run away from anything in his life.

Expect for those who loved him most.

Sometimes a man must do things

that the people he loves won't understand.

Finding the Grail,

clearing the name Jacques de Molay has given me his life purpose.

But with time, I suppose, it's become his own crusade.

Or his own obsession.

You can't think that.

You must see the selflessness in his quest.

I would say the line between selflessness and selfish is very thin.

He sacrificed everything for what he believes in.

Yeah, including his family.

Thank you, sir.

Good morning, sir. How can I be serving you?

I believe there's a fax for me.

-Ah. Your name? -Derek Rayne.

One moment while I'm looking.

I'm in fear that it is a very bad faxing, sir.

You may wish the sender should fax it again, yes?

No, I think we're fine.

Whatever you like, sir.

Thanks, I'll let you know.

Thank you, sir.

Good morning, sir.

Derek.

Alex faxed us the map, along with her notes.

Good. I hope she marked out the fastest route,

'cause I just checked Kristin's room and she's gone.

Could she have been taken by force?

No, there's no sign of a struggle.

Apparently, she went willingly. The question is where?

It looks like all the landmarks have changed completely.

So, I had Alex match the elevations on Molay's map

to the present countryside.

East of Istanbul, along the Black Sea,

to the Church of the Rock...

Where Jacques de Molay hid the chalice.

And where Kristin hopes to find her father.

I can't believe this is happening.

The engine needs time.

-[man] It's overheated. -Yeah, so I noticed.

When will I see my father?

Very soon.

[sighs]

So, where does the map lead anyway?

To the Church of the Rock.

Where Jacques de Molay hid the chalice.

-So it is a map to the Holy Grail? -Yes.

But a map has many interpretations.

Your father and I came this way many times.

What makes you think you'll find it this time?

Because all quests must end.

All you need is faith.

See the cleft in the mountains?

-Yeah. -It points the way.

If the map is right,

the Church of the Rock lies directly below it.

Your father will meet us there, if he thinks it's safe.

"If he thinks it's safe."

Be patient.

I'm so tired of being patient.

I want to see my father, and I want to see him now!

[speaks foreign language]

You have your father's rage.

No.

What was it like growing up with him?

I think you mean without him.

[sniffles]

You've probably spent more time with him than I did.

But you must've known that he cared about you.

That he was always there for you in spirit.

-Is that what he told you? -Yes.

Many times.

He said he really loves you.

Well, he had a funny way of showing it.

He had other commitments.

That doesn't mean he loved you less.

Yeah. That's true.

He tried.

But even when he was there, he wasn't really there.

[sniffles]

But he was a scientist who loved working in the field.

Still, after every expedition, when he would come back, I would think...

this is the one... [sniffles]

he'll stay.

But he never did.

[cries]

And then, one day, when I was 15, he just...

He went away and he never came back.

Do you have any idea how much that hurt me?

I've never told anyone this.

And my mother, waiting and waiting and waiting.

She was sure that this would be the day

that she would open the door, and that he would be there.

Your mother is very strong.

My mother is dead.

How did she die?

Well, the doctor said it was a stroke.

Very unusual for a woman her age.

I think she died of a broken heart, waiting for him.

That's why I made myself a promise.

That no matter what happened, I would find him and I would tell him.

That's why you came?

That's one of many reasons.

[sniffles]

The engine is cold enough.

Let's go.

[speaks foreign language]

[groans]

[speaks foreign language]

What's that? Latin for "call Triple A"?

No.

It's a Crusader's prayer.

The words they fought and died by.

Alex found it on the backside of the map.

What have you got?

Oil leak.

Fresh tracks.

The tires are a little worn, so they're not exactly driving a Lamborghini.

Should be able to catch up with them before nightfall.

I hope so.

Whether she finds her father or not,

she's in danger.

What, from her own father?

Is there something you haven't told me here?

Well, when he disappeared, he was already acting erratically.

And on the field, he might've turned to the Dark Side.

They always suspected that he might eventually try to contact Kristin.

So, when you encouraged Kristin to stay with us in San Francisco,

it was to keep an eye on her.

Yeah. London wasn't certain

if she could be trusted where her father was concerned.

Does London know we're here?

No. I couldn't take the chance.

They might send someone else who'd only get in the way.

I hope this doesn't make you feel paranoid.

So long as you don't say "trust me."

Is there anything else I should know right now?

No, not a thing, trust me.

[scoffs]

[truck door opens and closes]

Why are we stopping?

[man] This is it.

We found it.

[Kristin] We found what?

[man] The entrance to the Church of the Rock.

Last bastion of the Knights Templar.

-Where's my father? -He'll find us.

Take the map.

Church of the Rock.

Just as the Crusaders left it.

Jacques de Molay.

Unbelievable.

[gasps]

I don't see the chalice.

His helmet.

See.

[reads]

His battle cry.

[Kristin] I've kept my word.

Now you keep yours.

Where is my father?

Very close.

As he's always been.

Don't talk in riddles.

Where is he?

[man] Here.

You must listen and do as I say.

Around your neck there's a cross.

When you turn it over,

there's a small splinter of wood inlaid in the metal.

Supposedly a piece of the true cross.

It's what protected you from harm in the Well of Souls.

I need it.

It's the key to the chalice.

How did you know

about my cross?

Your father gave it to you when you were seven years old.

You were wearing a blue dress.

And you cried.

Father.

[Justin] Yes.

I've got true north, but it's a little shaky.

It must be something in the mountains.

Hopefully, it's close enough.

Yeah.

So, this Philip, if he wants the chalice so bad,

why doesn't he just grab the map,

and find it himself?

Well, having the map, and interpreting it, are two different things.

And as for the chalice,

as long as it's in hallowed ground, it cannot be destroyed.

Well, we probably got about half an hour of light left,

and then, we'll be driving blind.

Any sign they were here?

Well, there's tire tracks here.

Woman's footprints, could be Kristin's.

A man's...

And a body.

He hasn't been dead long.

How was he killed?

Well, look at him.

Philip.

Don't. Please.

-But how? -Things you don't want to know.

Seeing you...

The lonely nights, caught up in a fool's quest.

Time I should've spent with you,

but I couldn't stop myself, I couldn't let it go.

There are forces in the world,

evil forces,

who seek the chalice.

The spirit that attacked me at the Well?

Philip.

The worst of the dark ones.

The scars you're seeing...

he gave them to me.

Trying to get me to give him the map.

Is that why you sent it to me?

Yes.

You were the only one I could trust.

The only one I knew who wouldn't betray me.

Who'd bring it back.

Why didn't you tell me this in the beginning?

You were safer not knowing.

And I couldn't take the chance.

My life is almost over.

No.

The time I stole from you and your mother and Ethan,

I can't have that back.

You have every right to hate me for what I've done.

But try to forgive me.

I don't hate you.

Whatever happened,

whatever you've done,

you're still my father.

I love you.

And I love you, too.

This cross gave me strength.

And faith in you.

[Derek] There's nothing else in the map.

The church must be close.

[Nick] Well, they can't be that far ahead. The engine's still warm.

Look.

The Crusaders were soldiers.

It's a great place to defend a position.

Or to set up a trap.

[Kristin] It's him.

[grunts] Aah!

Some things... are beyond our control.

Be brave, and know there was never a time...

that I didn't love you.

No.

No! Please don't die!

[sobbing] Please don't die.

[Derek] It's Philip.

He's got the chalice.

[Philip speaking in foreign language]

[Derek] In the name of Jacques de Molay,

I command you to stop!

[speaks foreign language]

[cries]

-[grunts] -[yelps]

[cries]

[screams]

[neighs]

[speaks foreign language]

He says he'll kill her unless we let him go!

No, Derek, no!

Jacques de Molay, live through me.

That I might rise and smite him.

[speaks foreign language]

[Justin yells in foreign language]

[yells in foreign language]

[yells in foreign language]

[rumbling]

[screams]

[neighs]

[Kristin]For a long time we stood there, staring into the darkness.

No one moved.

No one spoke.

I remember hoping that somehow my father would reappear.

But in my heart, I knew.

He had done what he set out to do, and paid for it with his life.

Whatever dangers lie ahead,

I pray my courage echoes his.
