Following presentation is rated TV -14.

We're at the hotel, sir. You can go
straight to your suite. Thank you.

Good evening, kind sir.

In the words of the Honorable Dr. Thomas
Fuller, charity begins at home, but it

doesn't end there.

Aristotle taught us that the unfortunate
need people who'll be kind.

Prosperous need people to be kind, too.

Our own Bible tells us that it's more
blessed to give than to receive.

What do you say?

I've always believed it's annoying to
give to beggars.

It's also annoying not to give to them.
As a result...

I think that beggars should be abolished
entirely.

I'll take your bags.

You take care of this.

Ah, so nice of Derek to leave us with a
little project while he's in Amsterdam.

Yeah, because we wouldn't know what to
do with the weekend off now, would we?

Oh, it beats filing reports.

Well, when we're done with this, what do
you think comes next?

Oh, yeah.

Well, after two days of scraping, we end
up with a rock cube. I don't know. If I

were the king in ancient China, I think
I'd come up with something a little more

exotic to be buried with.

Can I see?

Yeah, be my guest.

Thank you.

What are these markings?

I don't know. They're not familiar.

I guess we'll learn more when we scan
it, though.

I guess.

Excuse me, but...

I just had the strangest feeling.

So did I. Yeah, it's vaguely exciting,
but you can't put your finger on it.

Yeah.

Let's see what else we can find out
about this, huh?

Ivan?

Bring the car out.

So what time is this consultant supposed
to be here? Nicholas Holtman?

Sometime this afternoon.

Why did London House think we needed
help with this?

Well, he's supposed to be an expert on
ancient Far Eastern artifacts.

I don't know about you, but I'd
certainly like to have this thing

he gets here.

That's strange, isn't it?

It looks like it's hollow, but there are
no seams.

Is there any indication of what it's
made of?

Primarily stone with traces of lead,
iron, and titanium. I'd say it's almost

indestructible. No, there's got to be a
way in.

Maybe Mr. Oldman knows how to open it.

Yeah, but what do we know about Mr.
Oldman?

I've worked days in the Far East, and
I've never met him.

Well, I saw his credentials in the
precept of the London house the person

vouched for him. Ah, well, then I can
picture him now.

Short, bald, officious, and smells like
pipe tobacco.

I'm thinking tall, chiseled, blue eyes
like Paul Newman.

In your dreams.

Okay, well, if we're going to talk about
the ideal man, he has to have soft

hands and big brown eyes. Oh, I'm
partial to green myself.

I'll settle for part Adonis, part
Einstein.

Not Einstein.

Let's go back to this man.

Yes,

Jonathan.

Oh, yes, we are expecting him.

Okay, thank you.

Well, I guess we're going to find out
soon enough.

Mark my words.

I'm Nicholas Oldman.

And you must be... Dr.

Horrigan.

Uh, yes, I mean... The priesthood at the
London house provided me with dossiers.

Hate coming into a situation unprepared.

How's your daughter Kat enjoying the
fourth grade?

I remember having a heck of a time with
long division.

Yeah, I... I know what you mean. I
just... Give me a calculator any day of

week, huh?

Excuse me.

Ms. Adams, are you finding the winters
in San Francisco a respite from the sub

-zero temperatures in Boston?

Actually, I miss the snow.

I don't miss the slush of the crowded
trains, though. Ah, the Metropolitan

Transportation Authority, the place
where chivalry is truly dead.

And of course, Ms. Moreau, j 'ai lu tout
le travail que vous avez fait.

C 'est super.

Merci, mais vous êtes trop gentil.

I don't mean to be rude, but I'm rather
anxious to see the artifact.

It's upstairs.

Did you just feel something?

I'm not sure. Perhaps a tingling
sensation?

Did you experience anything when you
touched it?

Uh, well, I mean, I wasn't really
positive. It's a sort of subliminal

Very subtle.

So what can you tell us about it?

Not much. The dig site where it was
found would suggest it's from the Han

Dynasty, which were placed about 100
years before Christ.

One of the provincial rulers of the Han
Dynasty, Liu Xing, was... Fixated on the

supernatural. You've done your homework.

Well, we scanned it and determined it's
hollow.

Indeed.

May I borrow these? They're for you.

This is a collaboration.

So it is.

We have quite a bit of work to do.

I have an appointment at the hotel. I'll
be back tomorrow.

I look forward to working with you all.

Yes.

I'll find my own way out.

Interesting man.

Interesting and charming.

Come on, say it. And a bit sexy.

You think?

You don't?

Nobody my type is.

Well, except for his eyes.

Killer blue eyes.

Come on, Rachel, wear your glasses. His
eyes were brown.

I don't know about you guys, but the way
the light was hitting his eyes, I could

have sworn his eyes were green.

Green?

It seems like yesterday the cube was
within my grasp, only to be snatched

by Liu Xing.

Of course, it cost him his life.

And now, 2 ,000 years later, the legacy
uncovers his secret vault, and the cube

once again surfaces.

I do think it has fallen into the hands
of three such lovely ladies. Oh, I'm

going to enjoy colorblind. Collaborating
with them.

If you want the cube, why don't you just
take it from them?

Because they hold the key to opening it.

Fortunately, they don't know that.

Mr. Alden, what are you doing here?

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

No. Come in. I was just doing some
research upstairs.

On the cube?

Yes.

I kept thinking about it. I couldn't
sleep.

Do you think I could have another look
at it?

Yeah, sure. Let me just see if Alex and
Rachel... I don't think that's

necessary. I'll just be a few minutes.

Besides, I'm talking to the real scholar
here, right?

Um... No reason to be humble.

Shall we?

Here we are.

You seem to have a kinship with us.

You of all people would understand.

Every archaeologist spends his or her
lifetime searching for his own holy

And the stone cube is yours?

Time will tell.

Here.

Hold on to this and tell me what you
feel.

I feel something ancient.

Something important.

Kristen, surrender to your emotions and
tell me what you really feel.

All right.

I feel... life... moving.

desperately to get out.

Continue.

I feel passion and desire.

Cube is you, isn't it?

Full of life, trying to burst out,
brimming with passions and desires.

But too bound by your social mores to
let yourself be free.

I don't know.

I can see into your heart, Kristen.

I see the soul of an artist. I have
paints and a canvas, and I never find

time. It's not a matter of time.

It's a matter of letting go.

Finding the passionate side of your
personality and riding with it. Do you

understand? I think I do.

Let me help you discover that side.

Please.

A large canvas awaits your artistry. You
begin to capture the vibrant colors on

your canvas, and as you paint, the
colors become more alive until you

with your surroundings.

What just happened there?

You opened your soul.

But that was so real, I could smell the
ocean. It was real because you allowed

yourself to be swept away by your
passion.

Did you enjoy the release, the breath of
freedom?

Oh, yes.

Kristen.

I feel something special between us. I
could tell the moment I met you.

Please, I want to be the one that helps
you release your passions.

We were just beginning.

It's late.

I'll be back.

I'll be waiting.

I know.

Well, it doesn't look like she slept in
her bed all last night.

Kristen.

Hey.

Kristen.

Are you all right?

Kristen.

Did you say something?

I didn't know you painted. What brought
on this sudden urge?

Nicholas.

Nicholas Oldman?

Uh -huh. He came back last night and
he... He

what?

Helped me get in touch with my soul.

I see. So he was here and, uh... How
come you didn't tell us?

Well, he came to talk to me.

Have you been at this all night?

Oh, once I started, it felt so right.

You know, maybe you ought to stop for a
little bit, take a break, get some rest.

Oh, no, there's so much more to do.
Look.

You have any idea what she's talking
about?

Well, obviously, Mr. Oldman made quite
an impression upon her. That's if he was

even here.

What, you think she was imagining it?

Well, let's check it out.

Jonathan, Rachel.

Hey, listen, was there Mr. Oldman on the
island?

Thank you.

Yeah, he was here.

Well, why would he come here so late?

I don't know. It's obvious.

It's obviously something to do with the
cube.

Who the hell have a word with Mr.
Oldman?

You're going to be here later this
afternoon. Why did you just wait? Oh, I

got a funny feeling about this. And
after seeing Kristen like this... Call

down to room service, Ivan.

We're expecting a visitor.

Miss Moreau, what an unexpected
pleasure.

Nice place.

Not exactly where I expect to find an
archaeologist, but... I'm a slave to

creature comforts. Not an honorable
trade, but one that I've accepted.

Can I offer you anything?

No, thank you. I came to talk about the
cube.

Excellent. Did you bring it with you? Mm
-hmm. May I?

Quite an incredible piece. Wouldn't you
agree?

I don't know.

Why don't you tell me about it?

As I said before, I suspect it's from
Leo Shing's reign.

And if it is?

Then it might hold some fascinating
secrets.

Such as?

Ms. Moreau, I thought this was going to
be a collaboration.

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being
interrogated?

Because I think you're holding out on
us. Holding out?

You came to the house last night.

To do some measurements on the cube,
take some photos to aid in my research.

What went on between you and Kristen?

We had a wonderful chat.

A chat?

Well, she stayed up all night painting.

Good for her. She mentioned to me that
she always wanted to be a painter. I

encouraged her to pursue her dreams. I
never realized she would follow them so

rapidly.

Well, it's...

Not just that. She's... different.

Changed. Why can't you celebrate your
friend's awakened passion?

Because I don't think it's healthy.

To follow your dreams.

To let your feelings soar.

Take this artifact, for example. This is
the result of someone's passion.

Here.

Hold it in your hand.

Tell me what you feel.

Something ageless.

Now, try again.

Only this time, place yourself within
the queue.

overwhelming power that confined,
constricted.

What you feel is pure passion.

Your passion screaming to be set free.

I think we have my passion under
control, thank you.

That's just it.

You've had it under control for far too
long.

You are a woman with acute senses that
have become dulled.

Maybe.

Maybe you're right.

I can help you to see clearly again.

To take in the world around you in all
its magnificent glory. Do you want that?

Then close your eyes.

in a place where your senses run wild.

Fragrances you've never dreamed
imaginable.

You can taste the intense flavors like
you never have before.

Your world is filled with aromas and
sights and tastes that have suddenly

awakened.

We owe it to ourselves to enjoy this to
its fullest.

Alex, you're very special to me.

I could tell from the moment we met.

I want to help you appreciate the world
around me.

Please help me.

Close your eye.

It's time for you to go back to the
house. But I want to explore my senses

you. I want to awaken.

And you will.

This is just the beginning, my dear.

The beginning of a whole new life.

Hey.

Hi.

How are you feeling?

Why, you got some sleep? Actually, no,
I'm not very tired.

Oh, good. Well, then, maybe you can help
me out with this.

Ancient Far Eastern archaeology is not
my strong suit. Yeah.

Where's the cube?

Alex took it.

Alex took it where?

The Oldman. She thought maybe he could
help us out.

Alex went to see Nicholas?

Kristen?

What exactly happened between you two
last night?

That's none of your business.

Oh, well.

Take a look at these markings. I've
cross -checked them with all the Chinese

characters at the time, and I can't find
a match.

Uh -huh.

Whatever.

Where are you going?

Back to my painting.

When Alex comes back, please let me
know.

Jonathan said you... God,

what is all of this?

Food. Oh, yeah, I can see that. Pretty
hungry, huh?

Starved.

You know, this plum is unbelievable.

It's the perfect combination of sweet
and tangy. Oh, no, no, wait.

I'll have some later, thanks.

Have you ever really looked at the
colors around you?

Ah. I mean, the painting.

I used to look at the flowers and I'd
say red.

But now I look at it and I see scarlet,
crimson, vermilion.

Uh, how was your meeting with Mr. Olman?

Oh, Nicholas is a wonderful man.

Nicholas, I see. So when you left, there
was something not quite right about

this guy, and now it's Nicholas?

I know, I was totally wrong. He's truly
amazing.

Right, I've heard that.

You went to go see Nicholas today. Why?

I don't answer to you.

Alex. Kristen, come on.

Actually, Nicholas and I have something
very special.

Oh, you're obviously deluding yourself,
Alex. Nicholas told me last night that

I'm the special one. Well, I guess he
changed his mind.

Okay, this is insane. What is wrong with
the two of you? You wouldn't

understand, Rachel. What I understand,
Alex, is that this man has done

very ugly to both of you. Oh, it's not
ugly.

What I have with Nicholas is beautiful.

Alex, can I have the cube, please? Why?

Because I need to do some work on it.

I don't think that's necessary.

Well, I do.

Could I have it, please?

Thank you.

Now, do you think the two of you can be
in the same room without killing each

other? Oh, you don't have to worry.

I don't want to be in the same room as
her.

Alex.

Alex.

Just tell me what's going on.

I just realized that I've been hiding my
head in this van for so long.

I'm just going to open myself up and
experience life.

By eating yourself to death.

The whole food is just a metaphor.

Look at this.

Feel the textures. Go on, feel.

Isn't that beautiful?

Look at these colors.

Look at the smell.

Oh,

and the succulent flavors. I'm telling
you, they all represent a life I never

allow myself to enjoy.

My senses are soaring, and I'm just
going to fly with it.

What is that?

One more, Ivan, and the power will be
mine. All I need is the lovely Dr.

Corrigan to make her contribution to the
blood bank.

Why these women?

Because when they touched the cube, Bo
Jing blessed them.

The three of them share a special bond
which makes bringing them over to my

one by one all the more satisfying.

What exactly happens once you obtain the
cube?

The spirit of Bo Jing will imbue me with
his power and simply put, I'll be

unstoppable.

So are you going back out to the Legacy
House tonight?

I don't think so.

I expect that things there have piqued
Rachel's interest.

She'll be along soon enough.

Still at it, huh?

If you mean still at discovering the
world around me, I'll be at this for the

rest of my life.

You should try it. Oh, no, thanks.

I'm pretty happy with my own life.

I've got a great daughter, friends I
love very much, one of whom I'm...

A little bit worried about right now.

Oh, Rachel, Rachel, Rachel. Don't worry
about me.

It's you that I'm worried about.

Right. Right. Look, Alex, Kristen is
waiting for us.

There's something I've got to show you
two.

Frankly, I don't care.

And I'm not supposed to be worried about
you?

Can you tear yourself away long enough
to come with me to the control room?

Let's go.

I don't know, but it looks alive.

It's impossible.

The thing's over 2 ,000 years old.
There's no way in or out of it. No way

we know of yet.

But why don't you access the dig records
themselves?

Good idea.

Huh. Well, look at that.

Liu Xing reportedly found a cube that
contained the soul of a powerful spirit

known as Bo Xing.

According to legend, the spirit was
released. He did Shang's bidding and

him great fortune, then returned to
dwell in the cube.

Well, that's it.

Yeah. I mean, when we touched the cube,
we each felt something, something alive,

right? It's an old wives' tale.

Come on, Alex.

What? After all we've been through,
you're going to just blow this off like

that? Well, this is ridiculous.

You think that the cube is some sort of
Aladdin's lamp with a genie inside?

Exactly.

And Mr. Oldman wants that genie. Now, we
just have to figure out why.

Well, maybe one of us should pay Mr.
Oldman a visit. I'll go. No, I'll go. I

think I'll go.

Bye. What secrets do you hold?

I appreciate you coming all the way down
here to see me, Dr. Corrigan. I was

hoping to have the opportunity to talk
to you one -on -one.

I wouldn't have missed it for the world,
Mr. Alden.

Please call me Nicholas.

All right, Nicholas.

It's Rachel.

Thank you.

This piece is very intriguing, isn't it?
Isn't it?

And there's something inside that
appears to be alive.

Alive? That's astounding.

Uh -huh. I agree.

What aren't you telling me, Nicholas?

What are you hiding from me?

Nothing. Like you, I'm looking for
answers.

You know, Alex came here with a healthy
suspicion as well.

Yes, I know.

But by the time she left, she was in
some other world, just like Kristen.

Your associates simply found that there
was more... ...in that necklace.

You give me too much credit.

I only help them explore the depths.

Would you like me to help you as well?

No. I think I'll pass.

You see?

I didn't come here for a psychic
makeover, just a little scientific

investigation.

You strike me as someone with great
romance and style. Why do you hide it?

It isn't going to work, Nicholas.

You just allowed yourself to open up.

Perhaps you'd like to dance.

See, that's not so bad, is it?

I can feel the music in you so long.

You're a natural.

Does that feel right?

Found your passion.

be free to guide you.

You want to be free, don't you, Rachel?

I don't know. Close your eyes.

Rachel, what's wrong?

Tell me about Bo Jing.

Sounds Chinese.

Are you testing me, Rachel?

You could say that.

Rachel, don't believe we have so much to
talk about. We have nothing to say to

each other and stay away from Kristen
and Alex.

Should I take that as a threat?

Take it any way you want to.

You get it?

No.

But I will.

Why not just kill her and take the
blood?

Because she must submit to me.

The man is evil. Don't be ridiculous.

Alex, look at... What is happening with
you?

With the both of you? I like the new me.

So do I. What's wrong with enjoying your
life for a change?

No, no, no, no, no. This is not about
enjoying your life. Enjoying your life

fine, but this is not the case here.

I mean, Kristen, I think it's fabulous
that you started painting again, but

at this.

What's wrong with it?

The beautiful landscape that somehow
you've twisted into something

Is that what's inside your soul?

I think that's a terrible thing to say,
Rachel.

I think you're just jealous because
Nicholas doesn't think you're special.

Oh, God.

All right, all right, Alex.

Enjoying your life is one thing, but to
me it looks like you're on some kind of

nonstop binge and you're just going to
make yourself sick or worse. I mean,

there is something wrong with Nicholas
Oldman.

There is. I mean, he's a very, very
compelling man, and he tried to bring me

into the fold, too, but I resisted it.

Listen, when I brought up Bo -Jing, it
was like I slapped him in the face. You

know, I cannot believe how petty you're
being, Rachel.

I, for one, think Nicholas is fantastic.

You don't understand, do you, Kristen?

Nicholas Oldman needs us to get inside
the cube. That's what's going on here.

You're talking like a crazy person. I'm
not going to listen to this anymore.

Well, for once, Alex and I agree.

Ivan,

my old friend.

Come, have a walk with me.

Cigar. You know I don't smoke.

It's what I love about you, Ivan, never
giving in to temptation.

Do you have a plan?

I don't think Rachel's as tough as she
makes herself out to be.

I've transformed the other two. It's
only a matter of time until I have her

well. Once I do, and I don't need them
anymore, I've decided that she'll be the

first one I kill.

Slowly.

Yes, please.

Let me know as soon as you can.

Great. Thank you.

Interesting.

Turns

out

our boy is a fraud, huh? The question
is, who is he?

This has to be wrong.

I saw his credentials. I talked to the
priest at the London house, and he

personally vouched for Nicholas.

Well, this Oldman, or whoever he is, is
a master of illusion.

I ran a cross -check of all the
archaeological digs in the past 20

well as all the university records from
all over the world, and there is not one

word, not one mention of a Nicholas
Oldman. Not anywhere.

All right. So then how do you explain
everything that he knew about it? He did

his homework.

We can't underestimate this man.

Okay, so, if he's not who he says he is,
then who is he? Who or what?

Obviously, he is brilliant.

Obviously, he is very, very dangerous.

Now, look, you've got to believe me.

Chris and Alex, this man, this man has
done something to the two of you that

can't explain.

Now, you think he's given you some sort
of gift, but in truth... He's taken a

little part of you. He's taken a part of
your free will.

Rachel. You know what I think?

I think you're trying to rationalize
your own fantasies. Oh, yeah, right.

Rachel, why can't you accept Nicholas
for who he is instead of this silly

hunt? Okay, look, look, look.

That's it. When he was trying to seduce
me, he took my palm and he ran his

fingernail across it.

Did that happen to either of you?

I seem to remember a cut on my hand.

Yes, it was. And it felt wonderful at
the time, but... There's no sign of a

No, but there was, because I remember
feeling a tiny trickle of blood.

Blood? Yeah.

Blood.

He needs our blood.

Why? It must have something to do with
the cue.

Right.

Okay, now this is what I'm talking
about. Come on, you guys.

We have to figure out what's going on.

Alex, come on. Kristen, wake up.

Alex, so good to hear from you.

How are you feeling?

Well, I'm wonderful.

It's just Rachel I'm worried about.

Is there a problem with the good doctor?

Well, she just...

hasn't been herself since she last
visited you. It's like she's suffering

sort of split personality disorder.

And do you think I could help? Well,
you're the only one who can.

She just needs to be free like you did
for me and Kristen.

Please.

How could I resist the opportunity to
help a fellow human?

It will mean so much to me.

And it will mean so much to me, too.

It appears that Rachel was halfway
there. She just needs a little push.

Do you trust them?

Alex is completely under my sway. She
would never lie to me.

I love dealing with humans.

So predictable.

You look acquitted.

Where's Rachel?

She's in here.

Hello, Nicholas.

Christian.

Rachel, I like what you've done with
yourself.

No, it's not me, Nicholas. It's you.

You were just starting to help me and...

I cut you off too quickly.

I want... I

need you to show me how to release my
inner self.

Tell me what to do.

Feel its power.

Hear it calling out to your soul.

Excellent.

Let yourself go.

Something wrong.

You.

What are you doing?

I'm giving back.

It's gone far enough.

Oh, but we're just getting started.

Bring me the cube or I guarantee you
Rachel will die.

He's not going to kill me, Chris, and he
needs my blood.

Intense, wasn't it? Next time it'll be
deadly.

Do it, Chris.

Do it!

Ladies, I believe we have a stalemate.
Without Rachel's blood, the cube is

useless.

I came at the office.

No!

I am the one who taught them how to
freeze.

You will do my bidding.

Fill me with your power.

Sorry, Nicholas.

You weren't first.

What's happened here?

Oh, well, I guess you could say we were
exploring our inner selves, Derek.

Yeah.

Nicholas wanted to use us, but in the
end, he gave us each a special gift.

He showed us how to find our passions
and helped us to unlock them.

So, despite his intentions,

we'll always owe him a small bit of
gratitude.
