Thank you.

Why don't you show us a little bit of that rain dance?

Hurts, doesn't it, man?

Isn't this special?

I like it.

pay your dues around here. Give it back!

What was that?

Give it back!

What, do you want this?

Come on, punk.

Go see Mr. Simmons in detention.

Right now!

Don't let me hear you guys didn't show up or I'll spell both of you. Come with

me, young man.

Didn't I ask you to just stay out of their way?

Hi, I'm Dr. Corrigan. I'm the volunteer on call this week. There's a student

apparently that Mr. Weston wants me to have a word with.

He's busy. Why don't I grab a cup of coffee?

What the hell is your problem anyway, son?

I didn't do anything wrong.

You couldn't get along with anybody at PS139 either, could you?

Damn it.

Look at this mess.

That's why they sent you here.

problem children on me and I'm sick of it. I'm telling you.

I can't believe you're in trouble again.

It wasn't my fault.

Why don't you believe me?

It's just an old passion of... Well, I'd keep that ice on it if I were you.

David, will you please tell me what happened?

Okay, David, here's the situation.

Mr. Westburn is very seriously hurt. Now, they've taken him to the hospital,

he's unconscious.

So we have no way of knowing what exactly happened.

That's why it's really important that you tell us your side of the story,

David.

Did you push your principal through that window?

No, I didn't. I've already told you a thousand times.

I was just sitting there, and he took off. He just went right through the

Look, David, I know that he was upset with you. I heard him yell at you. I

you already. I didn't do anything to hurt him.

Mom, my phoenix.

I lost it when those guys jumped me.

Don't worry, David.

It'll turn up.

Excuse me, ma 'am.

Detective Rhodes.

I'd like a word with you, please.

My son's never hurt anyone in his life. Oh, thank you, detective. Would you just

look at David?

Mr. Westbourne is three times his size.

I can't even imagine David assaulting him. I'm sorry. We have a warrant, ma

This is unfair. You can't do this.

I'm not going to let you take him. Don't make this any more difficult than it

has to be.

It really took off, like a shot.

Someone was almost pushing it with tremendous energy.

Perhaps someone was.

Worth looking into, I'd say.

That's David's mother?

Well, let's see if she can shed some light on this.

Fiona?

This is Derek Ray, my associate.

The one I was telling you about.

What did she do?

What's your son doing?

They've taken him to juvenile hall.

They're holding him on assault charges.

I have no way of getting him out.

At least until tomorrow morning when he's arraigned.

I only hope they don't set his bail too high.

Mrs. Sheridan, have you ever heard of the Luna Foundation?

Well, we'd like to help you and your son.

If you need a lawyer, for instance, we can arrange for one.

That's what the Luna Foundation does.

It's set up to help people.

Well, I listened to Rachel's description of what happened and considering the

circumstances of the principal's attack.

Yes.

David might be the source.

Well, it sounds like telekinesis. Well, I'm not completely sold on that just

yet.

Telekinesis is a subtle phenomenon in most observed cases.

Well, maybe the kid doesn't realize that he's responsible for what's happening

around him. It could be a completely involuntary response.

Well, let's find out, shall we, Rachel?

You and I will bail David out first thing in the morning.

I've also extended our invitation for David and his mom to stay here at the

house until the situation resolves itself. Alex, I'd like you to conduct

tests with David.

Cautiously, of course.

Of course?

Well, whatever he's got to give the trouble.

You've got to learn to fit in, boy.

All of life is rules.

You've got to learn to live by them.

That's why you're here.

Don't think of this place as jail.

Think of it as school.

You're here to learn.

And I'm your favorite teacher.

Like right now, you're going to learn the importance of being neat.

Because neatness counts, right, kid?

Watch your back.

Dr. Doug Ring. Nice to meet you.

They've helped us out by posting your bail.

They have a home on Angel Island, and they've invited us to come and stay with

them until we get these things straightened out.

No, I don't think I want to do that.

David, it's a condition of your release, mandated by the courts.

I have to go back to school first, Mom. I have to find Dad Phoenix.

You don't understand, David.

You've been expelled from school.

So come on in.

Well, this is the place.

Hey, Alan.

Hey, you guys.

Good, much needed.

So this is David, the guy I was telling you about. My mother, Fiona.

Hi, Fiona. Nice to meet you.

So, David, I'm your official hostess and tour guide for this little adventure.

You guys actually live in this castle?

Well... Well, some of us do.

Listen, I'm going to show him around and get him situated.

Is that all right with you? Great. Why don't I buy you a coffee? Come on, let's

go.

I'm way over here.

Dr. Corrigan says you guys are going to do some tests or something on me. Yeah,

that's right. You and I are going to be doing some experiments together.

Don't worry.

You won't feel a thing.

Experiments? What kind of experiments?

Brain function tests, aptitude tests, nothing too taxing, and you can say no

any of it if you want to, okay?

Except that I owe you because you bailed me out of jail.

Exactly. That's why I know. We'll have your complete cooperation.

Come on.

I'll show you around the castle, give you the ten cent tour.

I want you to meet the lady.

We left New Mexico to find a better life.

Native American dream, you know.

Get off the reservation.

It's a hard place.

Especially for children.

Do you have any children, doctor?

Mm -hmm. Little girl. She's gonna be nine next month.

David's father died last year.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that.

It's been a difficult adjustment for him.

David loved his father so much.

Joseph, my husband.

He always said he was going to take David back to that reservation.

I didn't understand.

We had awful times there.

Well, maybe he just wanted David to remember where he came from.

Never forget his heritage.

David's been very lucky, actually.

He was born two months premature.

He was very sickly.

I don't suppose you had access to very good medical care on the reserve.

No, we didn't.

Tribal shaman isn't quite the same as a university hospital neonatal wing.

I never thought David would make it.

We almost lost him.

Rachel Corgan?

That's really good news. Thank you.

Mr. Westbrook's coming around.

They think he's going to recover.

Do you have any idea what kind of medicine the shaman performed on David?

No.

That was my husband's department, Dr. Corrigan.

Joseph really believed in the methods of our medicine men.

To be honest, we didn't exactly see eye to eye on the subject.

I thought it was so much superstition.

All I ever wanted was to leave that place and never go back.

Wow, you guys must really have big bucks, huh?

So, David, I'd like you to meet Nick Boyle, our resident Navy SEAL.

Former SEAL. I quit to pursue my real dream of secret night swimming.

Yeah, he's just getting in touch with this gun inside.

Welcome to the club, man.

Thanks.

Really nice place you got here.

Yeah, I bet a beach studio.

Yeah, for sure.

So, do you guys actually do any work around here or what?

Not lately.

Yeah. See you later.

Yeah.

What's up?

You tell me.

It occurred in the same facility where David was held overnight.

You don't think it's a coincidence, do you?

Well, in my heart, I hope it is, but I have a very bad feeling that whatever

happened in the jail last night is related to the fact that David is there.

I'd love to see the forensics on this.

Yeah, so would I.

I saw a security system with cameras throughout the whole building, so

very good chance that the whole thing was caught on tape.

I said to you there's no apparent signs of attack.

If they were videotaped, you'd figure the cost would have picked it up, right?

Depends on what they were looking for, doesn't it?

You don't think that they'd make the tapes available, do you?

Through conventional channels?

No way.

Never did like conventional channels.

Detective Carmack, please.

Are we almost done yet?

Kind of uncomfortable, you know.

Can I please take this stupid stuff off now?

Just a few little more tests.

I'm tired of answering questions.

Everybody's always grilling me.

Has anything like this ever happened to you before?

Like what? Getting in trouble all the time?

No, I mean what happened to your principal.

People around you getting hurt and...

It not being your fault.

What exactly did happen to your principal?

I don't know.

And I don't know why they're blaming it on me.

Look, I know what this is all about.

I recognize this type of stuff.

You're trying to test me to see if I have some sort of ESP or something,

Oh, man, that'd be so cool.

You know, I wouldn't mind having some sort of ESP.

You might.

Minded, I mean.

Kind of makes you feel like an outsider.

Yeah, but that's nothing new for me.

I want to try something different, okay?

Now, you see this pen?

Yeah.

I want you to concentrate and try to move it,

only using your thoughts.

Yeah, right.

That can't be done.

Eric? The hospital sent me over Westburn's records. He's taken a

he's going to recover.

Strangest thing, though.

Given the nature of his accident...

You'd expect to see the kinds of lacerations and contusions that he

but he also suffered some internal trauma that you wouldn't normally

with an injury like this.

What kind of internal injuries?

Esophageal ruptures.

It's almost like his neck was crushed.

Like he was strangled.

Oh, and you should see this, too. I requested David's medical records.

This is all I got.

This is it? Yeah.

No childhood illnesses?

He never even had chicken pox? My God, it looks like he's never been sick a day

in his life.

All the more amazing, considering he was raised in poverty on an Indian

reservation with no medical care to speak of, except for a tribal shaman and

native medicine, according to his mom, anyway.

I want to keep David here as long as we possibly can.

Even if we have to manufacture a reason to extend his visit, then I don't want

him or his mother to leave until we get to the bottom of this.

And you're going where?

To have a mystical experience, hopefully.

I'm going to see an old friend who's eminently qualified to help in this

I'll be back shortly.

Derek Rain, how the hell are you? As well as ever. How are you?

I'm tired, but still strong enough to carry the flame.

Oh, I see you're better to your collection.

Yes.

Thanks to the Luna Foundation's generosity in helping me preserve my

So have you really come to see my collections, or does this visit concern

old legacy business?

Actually, I'm here for enlightenment.

Ah, I love it when you have a problem only the big hop can solve.

Come on, I've constructed a lodge on the grounds here in our traditional way.

We'll sweat over this question together.

Smoke brings wisdom.

This young Native American boy.

People around him have been hurt by some unknown force.

The spirits tell me this young man has two souls.

Open your spirit and it will talk to you.

Your vision pains you.

Yes.

This young man, I believe he received the medicine of a shaman.

Do you know of the mysteries of the shadow spirit?

When a dying child is brought before a healer, the healer calls the spirit

to shadow and protect this child.

These spirits lend strength, but they are not always benevolent souls.

Is it possible for one of those shadows to continue to follow someone into

adulthood? The shadow spirit is released into cleansing.

But if this ritual is not performed at a prescribed time, when the child is

grown to fullness, the shadow becomes stronger and can attach itself to this

world.

David is almost 16 years old.

Do you think this cleansing ritual could still be performed?

I cannot say for certain.

But I have heard the shadow that follows too long sometimes consumes the very

soul that it is assigned to protect.

You mean it might eventually turn on him and possess him completely?

And only when he dies will he be free.

Well, we owe Carmack big time for this one. He had to go outside of his

apartment to get the tape for it.

Right. Here's what we got.

It's a little bit grainy, but I think we can enhance it.

This is the guard who died, Sergeant Haney.

Looks like he had a seizure or something.

What was that?

I don't know.

Maybe somebody's shadow.

It's not a glitch in the tape, is it?

I don't think so.

Can you run it back a few minutes?

Yeah.

Okay, stop it there.

According to the time code, this was just minutes before Haney died.

Looks like David was one of the last people to see him alive.

Not the very last.

Can you put up the results from those tests that Alex ran on David? She wanted

me to have a look at them. Yep.

That's interesting.

See that where the waves vacillate out of sync? It's like they're two

different brainwave patterns, almost as if the EEGs of two different people were

superimposed over each other. Alex says preliminary findings showed no signs of

latent TK.

It's not what we generally look for.

They would fail all the tests with flying colors.

You should have a look at this. What?

I took the tape through the computer and analyzed it to see if there was any

energy signature that didn't show up to the naked eye, and this is what we came

up with.

Have the police seen this?

I don't think so. I don't think they have the capability.

And if they did, what would they do?

How do you ask that?

What the hell is that?

We don't know.

Well, David's gone. It looks like he climbed out of his window.

How do you do that without setting off any alarms?

I got a camera down.

I think I know where he may have gone.

He wanted to go back to the school. He said he'd lost a keepsake there.

I want to stay here with his mom, and we'll go see if we can find him. Great.

Hey, Jake.

What's up?

Thought you'd climb over the fence, bro.

Huh? You looking for us or what?

Jake!

Where you going, brother?

Yeah, what's your hurry?

Look, guys, I don't want any trouble.

And believe me, I don't think you do either.

Yeah, right.

Well, it seems to me we never finished, did we?

No, no, you know, I don't think we did.

In fact...

I think I still owe you a broken nose.

You know, I think we owe him one for poor Mr. Westburn. Yes.

We heard all about that, Vera.

That wasn't too nice, baby.

What the hell is that?

Say, what is that?

Period.

What's going on?

What happened to you?

Nothing. I'm okay.

Did you go back to the school?

No, no, I didn't. I just had to get out of that place, man. You know, I've been

cooped up in there all day and night.

You know, Angel Island isn't the easiest place to get away from. I'd kind of

like to know how you got out of there.

David, you weren't supposed to leave the house.

You're lucky we found you before the cops did.

You guys aren't going to call the police on me, are you? You wouldn't call the

cops.

Well, come on.

Just get in the car.

Ms. Murrell?

I mean, Ella.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, we'll talk about it when we get back.

Look, I told you already. I just went out. I had to get out of here.

Come on, Mom. I had to go back. I had to find Dad's phoenix.

You don't understand.

You risk being sent back to jail. You know what? I wish everyone would just

off my back.

Well, we have to contain him until we know exactly what our next move is.

He's carrying a very dangerous force with him. The Shadow Spirit.

Then we'll lock him down if we have to.

Well, it might not work.

In fact, it might make it worse.

This entity follows David literally wherever he goes.

Its sole purpose is to protect David. If it feels that David is threatened, it

will strike out.

We have to be very careful not to upset him in any way.

David is not only a danger to others, he is in danger himself.

This spirit might turn on him.

Or...

If it gains more strength, it might get loose into our world.

Looks like we've got some company, Derek.

If the spirit is visible, it must mean David is agitated. Find him and keep him

calm until I get there.

I'm almost back.

I just spoke to the police.

They told me two boys from your school were just taken away by the paramedics.

They are very badly hurt.

David, they are the same two boys you fought with a few days ago.

What did you do?

It wasn't me.

I didn't hurt anybody.

It was him.

Who?

Who are you talking about, David?

He's mine.

He protects me.

David, I want you to send him away. What?

Don't try to take him away from me. I won't let you.

David, this power you have is a terrible thing.

You have to give it up. She's right, David.

That thing killed your father.

It's a monster.

What? I never told anyone what happened that night your father died.

Don't you remember, David?

No.

Your father was very angry with you that night.

It's true, David.

Your father hurt you.

And that thing, it acted out against him.

I don't believe you.

Take it easy, big fella. I wouldn't do that if I were you.

beat up as regularly as they do around here. Look, your neck's not broken. What

the hell was that? My husband told me once about a sort of guardian angel that

was given to David by a shaman.

I never believed him.

I'd never seen it until that night and I'd never seen it since.

Until now.

Oh, you have to understand.

If anyone ever found out, I thought they'd take David away.

Where is David? He took off. Alex put with him. Is he all right? I think so.

Now I'm gonna start putting in for combat pay.

The shadow spirit is not your friend.

You have to reject the spirit.

It's your enemy.

You have to understand.

I didn't mean to kill my father.

It was never my fault. It was never my fault!

David!

It's not your friend. It's a ghost.

It will haunt you for the rest of your life.

And it will destroy you.

It's seeking refuge in a dead body.

He's dying. Don't let him die.

Wait. Just wait.

We won't have a dead body.

We'll have to wait.

He's not breathing.

We have to bring him back.

What are the shadows that we cast on the world and the shadows that follow us

through life?

More than the forms of our bodies against the light?

Sometimes they're the very silhouette of our soul.

Sometimes they're the darkest parts of us.

Parts of ourselves we don't even know and can never begin to understand.
