It has come to our attention

that you have been engaged in an independent project.

It began as curiosity.

It's become much more.

Now it's a distraction. And that which distracts should be excised.

Mr Watts,

the uninitiated perceive time with no appreciation of the beginning,

and no understanding of the end.

To them, time is an infinite commodity.

We know better. And we will not waste a second of it.

This is who we are.

That's what I intend to find out, sir. Who we are.

- That was answered when we accepted you. - The answer leads to more questions.

What you want to confirm, they will deny.

What you want to find, they will hide.

You are on a path that has no beginning, no middle and no end,

because it is a matter of faith.

Maybe that is what you need to find.

This is all about the science.

- And you'll never find it. - I'm close.

I just need a little more time.

We don't want to lose you over this.

That a threat, sir?

A caution.

Because if we found out, they already know.

Peter. Come on in.

- I didn't get your page. - I didn't send one.

- Anything wrong? - What I'm about to ask you is...

unauthorized by the Millennium Group.

If you tell me to take a flying leap, it won't affect our professional relationship.

And our personal?

I need your help. Your gift.

And I can't tell you why. But I can tell you it might be dangerous.

You're asking for a leap of faith.

More than you know.

- This is obviously unexpected. - I spoke to Dr Schlossburg three days ago.

From the massive blood loss, I'd say the attack was violent and protracted.

Looking around this expensive equipment, the only motive we can rule out is robbery.

My advice before we go any further is that we talk to the German police.

"Help me." "You ask me to help you? Man is evil."

"Capable of nothing but destruction."

"You...

bloody bastard."

This is Watts.

I need you to connect with the system at Hamburg University Science Department.

The terminal is located in Bremerhaven, Germany,

FTP 204.48.18.31.

- I have office hours. - The files are protected by passwords.

Can you bypass security and access them?

The work you're requesting is illegal under international and state statutes.

- Are you saying you won't do it? - What I'm saying is "golden time."

- What files are you looking for? - Just get in. Then contact me on my cell.

Oh, my God. Don't tell me we had this conversation on an unsecured line.

In a court of law, this could be construed as a de facto admission of guilt.

- What conversation? - Gotcha.

Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Say no more.

What the hell is going on? What are you looking for?

What are you saying?

You're also police?

Let me see your stinkin' badges.

I'm gonna reach for my identification.

I know how this appears, but Dr Schlossburg was working with our group.

We are consultants to law enforcement in the United States.

We entered this crime scene in that capacity.

What is this? I don't know this group.

That's right. Take us in. Then we'll be able to explain everything.

You said Dr Schlossburg was involved with the Group. What was he working on?

An answer.

To what?

Who we are.

My apologies, Mr Watts, Mr Black.

The Direktor der Bereitschaftspolizei informs me

that the Millennium Group shall have our cooperation.

To fulfill his request, I bring to you Detektiv Heim.

We stake out perp

when you two were busted.

OK.

Dr Schlossburg worked at Hamburg University Science Department.

But you would know because you tail him. Correct?

- We know because we worked with him. - Oh, yeah.

This is him after the hemorrhoid got through with him.

The perp capped the mark at around, maybe, midnight three days ago.

I hope you don't mind me saying you have a colorful vocabulary.

Danke sch�n. Thank you.

I learn much about good detective work from American TV police shows.

Sipowicz, Kojak,

Hunter, Tony Scali.

- Who? - The Commish.

Have you found a motive for the murder?

Robbery.

The doctor surprised some freakin' dirt bag.

The attacker escaped in this window.

And from the blood trail, we detect an injury.

The doctor maybe kicked him in the labonza.

Can we examine the body?

Who loves ya, baby?

Come on.

It seems a Mongolian cluster flock has appeared.

Dr Schlossburg's body is gone. It has been released.

It has been cremated.

Sorry about that.

When you have question, telephone.

Yeah.

Catch you later.

What's this?

"If we found out, they already know."

Do you have idea who explode the Auto?

I assume it was someone connected with Dr Schlossburg.

When you find out what kind of device was used, you might have more information.

- When can I expect your departure? - The visa's for six months.

Please hurry. I sniff at you two and I smell trouble.

- Did you tell them anything? - Don't have anything to tell.

I think they lied about the circumstances of Schlossburg's death.

- I don't think we can trust 'em. - Can I trust you?

I got on a plane to Germany, just because you asked me to.

- I expect the same trust from you. - Yeah.

Tell me what's going on, before I walk.

Not here.

There are certain things that I can't tell you.

There are secrets to Millennium that have to be earned.

There are truths you wouldn't understand, even if I tried to explain.

Don't tell me - you took a blood oath.

No less than having my breast torn open, my heart and organs thrown over my shoulder

and carried in the Valley of Jehoshaphat.

The decaying body in the lab isn't the only reason we're here.

That's part of it, but I'm hoping that the body leads to a greater discovery.

How long ago do you think that body was buried?

It's very well preserved.

Just at a cursory glance, I'd say 50, 75 years at the most.

Dr Schlossburg has placed that body at a thousand years old.

It's a bog mummy. The body is so well preserved

because of a polysaccharide found in peat moss.

They found bodies at 2,000 years old. Bodies that go back to the beginning of Christianity.

Back to the beginning of the Millennium Group.

That would be of great interest to archaeologists, to historians.

What's the interest to you? Why would anybody wanna kill to stop this discovery?

There have always been those who oppose the Group's methods and philosophy.

But those are the snakes in the open. It's the snake in the grass that causes concern.

We're being followed.

I think Taylor would love this.

They're good. They knew we knew.

Those are just the ones we spotted. Danke.

The police said you left the scene an hour ago.

My German wasn't good enough to get any more. Where have you two been?

Andrews, what are you doing here?

The Group asked me to speak about interview and interrogation techniques

at the police academy in Bremen. I heard what happened, and came as fast as I could.

- You guys OK? - It's been a long day, but we're fine.

Well,

I know you're not on vacation. You must be on a case.

Why not give me the case files? I'll do some legwork.

It's not necessary. It's under control. If you don't mind, I'm beat.

I'm gonna go up to my room.

- Good night. - Night.

- This is who we are. - This is who we are.

- Do you need anything, Frank? - I'm just along for the ride.

Sometimes when a car crashes it's the driver that's killed.

Sometimes it's the passenger.

Be careful.

Good night.

- Yeah. - It's Hacker Man.

I've been working on this little problem of yours, Mr W.

- Go ahead. - Did the background check on Herr Doctor.

Important dates, numbers, names of relatives.

I've tried a dozen algorithmic combinations. So far, not even a nibble.

This is time sensitive. People are shutting us down. I need to get through soon.

I've done a little research on the Internet. Our man has been a naughty little doctor.

From his terminal, he has logged hundreds of hits on adult Web sites,

online sex chat, you name it.

All American-made. Probably prefers the production value

and the galaxy of stars available to satiate his unique perversity.

Get to the point.

A guy using his work station for porn would likely have other salacious material for use...

on hand, if you get my drift.

It's a long shot, but maybe that's the key to his password.

- Suicide hot line. - I found his stash.

Anything juicy?

A couple of the magazines appear to be older, with dog-eared pages.

Personal favorites, I presume.

Some of these stars have attained one-name status, kinda like Madonna or Cher.

Ten to one he used a name for the password.

I'm trying "Ginger."

Enthusiastic.

- "Tracy." - Jailbait.

- "Seka." - Whoa. Blast from the past.

Here's one.

He's a member of her fan club.

- "Christy." - She's hot. And ultra babe-a-licious.

Or so I've been told.

- I'm in. - That was good for me. Was it good for you?

Doctor.

You were close to having an extra rectum.

I believe we're being monitored.

Is that why we met outside, instead of someplace warm, without the smell of urine?

Watts is missing. I haven't seen him all day.

I tried to page him. No response.

I have never known him not to answer a page.

He's been behaving in an uncharacteristic way.

I gotta be honest with you. The Group brought me over here to bring him in.

He's acting on his own, under the auspices of Millennium,

without authorization, without consultation.

And he's brought you into this.

He's jeopardizing your candidacy. We gotta help him.

- What do you want me to do? - Find him. He obviously trusts you.

Determine his objectives and contact me.

I'm at this number here.

At that point, we can decide to get him through it or get him out.

You've already had one attempt on your lives.

Whatever he's doing puts us all in danger.

They're maintaining surveillance out front.

I noticed that. I found another way in.

You've been here all this time?

You made it into the system. Find what you were looking for?

No.

Maybe it doesn't exist.

A thousand years ago,

when this man was alive,

Otto lll, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, dug up Charlemagne's bones

for inspiration in the planning of a reformation of religious faith across Europe.

What he saw in those bones gave rise to the persecution,

torture, death of thousands.

At the same time, members of the Order of Knights Chroniclers,

whose warnings about the millennium conflicted with the order of the empire,

became hunted. And they were forced underground.

The Knights had in their possession a holy relic. The hand of Saint Sebastian.

Sebastian was ordered shot to death with arrows, but he miraculously survived.

The bounty for the return of the hand was so lucrative, member turned against member.

The group was almost destroyed. Survivors dispersed all over the world.

And the hand of Saint Sebastian disappeared.

Legend has it that whoever has possession of the hand

has the knowledge to overcome the evils of the millennium.

Great story, but you can't believe that a mummified hand,

even if it's a holy relic, can tell us anything. The dead can't speak.

They talk to you, Frank.

It's your gift. I've seen it.

Otto lll saw evil in the bones of Charlemagne.

I wanna find the good,

the faith.

When I became aware of this project, I didn't know why I was interested. It was so...

Unlike you?

But when I look at him,

this anonymous man from a thousand years ago, then I know why.

There is no future without a past.

John Schlossburg called me three days ago. He had found the location of the Circle.

The preserved burial site of the Order of Knights Chroniclers.

I have searched every scrap of information here.

Maybe in a thousand years someone will find it again.

Come play with me. Come on, lover. I'm still...

Schlossburg was obsessed with these online sex chats.

.. last night.

"Last night"? The police said he's been dead for three days.

You're always just right, Doc.

Last night and every night.

Schlossburg's still alive.

They're keeping him here in protective custody.

There's a shift change.

Hi.

Excuse me. Do you speak English?

I'm looking for Radiology. I must have taken a wrong turn.

The sign.

If I could read that, I wouldn't have to ask, would I?

Could you help me find it, please? Could you show me?

- Please, it'll only take a second. - Ja. OK.

Dr Schlossburg.

There was another person.

He introduced himself as Peter Watts.

Before he attacked me.

Did he ask you anything before the attack?

No. Nothing.

Dr Schlossburg, did you find the location of the Circle?

Nothing makes any sense. Till today I never met Dr Schlossburg.

Someone using my name attacked him.

Why let him live? Then they make an attempt on our lives that fails.

Maybe it was meant to. Our every move has been a reaction to events we can't control.

Until now, someone's been setting us up.

I believe we'll find out who's responsible when we find the location of the burial site.

Somehow, everything's tied in to this body.

What if the legend's true?

The knowledge to fight the evils of the millennium are out there?

That's what we're here to find out.

We're close.

Peter.

Wait. Don't. No. Go slow.

Come on.

We need the shovel.

Hold that.

Nothing.

It's hooked on something. Pull.

What the hell is it?

Let's go.

The hand of Saint Sebastian.

Wow.

This is who we are.

Peter Watts.

You are under arrest for the murder of Dr Schlossburg.

- You're making a mistake. - Cuff him.

- They must have killed him after I left. - They wanted you to find him.

The body. Take care of the body.

This is an outrage. Peter Watts was an assistant director at the FBl for ten years.

He led the international task force on crime for three years.

He's a senior member of the Group. I don't care what you think,

- you have the wrong man. - Miss Andrews.

Dr Schlossburg identified Mr Watts as his attacker prior to being murdered.

We place him at the hospital via video surveillance before the crime.

Take care of this. I want him out.

You were supposed to apprise me of the situation.

We were then to decide a course of action.

Now he's in deep and so are you.

They say you were excavating a body. Where is it?

We're close to finding out who's behind this.

I want to know everything, Frank.

There's a public storage building near the waterfront, on Rastede.

Meet me there tonight. In a couple of hours.

No more games, Frank.

No more games.

- Hello. - Roedecker.

Can you tell who accessed Schlossburg's account to go online two nights ago?

I can maybe get you the charge account of the user.

I can definitely get the phone number where they connected. It'll just take some time.

I'll take anything you can get. We're running outta time.

Over here. What the hell is going on?

Watts was working for Schlossburg. They found a burial site of Millennium members.

The legend. Where's the body? Is it safe?

I hid it here. Unit 998.

This way.

You?

Unit 998. Let's confirm before we tidy things up.

Who do you work for?

How much did they pay you to sell your soul?

Not enough to kill us.

You set up Watts to destroy the credibility of the Group.

I got it. What's so important about this body?

What does your gift tell you, Frank?

It tells me that this was a test of the heart. And you failed.

Key.

Detective Heim,

a ballistics test will prove that these weapons were used for the murder at the hospital.

You made one mistake. You gave me your number.

It was the phone line used to contact Christy's Chatterbox.

That's how you let us know Schlossburg was still alive.

May I say it now, Mr Black?

Book 'em, Danno. Murder one.

His body is covered with tattoos.

I look at this man and I wonder.

He fought the same fight we wage today.

Did he have the knowledge that we lack?

The knowledge to overcome the evils of the millennium.

And did he have the foresight to pass that information on to us?

Are these tattoos merely decorations?

Or...

are they secrets to be deciphered?

What does he say to you, Frank?

He had a knowledge, Pete, but it's inside him.

I think that's what he's saying. It's inside us.

We just have to find it for ourselves.
