Following presentation is rated TV -14.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Must be too much late -night meeting.

Well, I didn't mean to startle you, but this just arrived by courier.

Oh.

It's from my brother, Ethan.

Will you take that?

He's back at college, and he went home for semester break and found this

for me. So he sent it here. Well, according to the postmark, it was

sent from Istanbul over two months ago.

Can you get that? Yeah.

Thank you.

It's a map.

And it's written in... some kind of language I've never seen before.

It's not Latin.

It seems to be some... a cake form.

That's not paper.

Maybe it's parchment.

Sheepskin?

Or a human skin.

What?

Well, I've seen it before.

That's just lovely, a medieval Hannibal Lecter.

Why not have Alex scan it into the computer? She may be able to tell us

about it.

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

No.

So it's genuine?

As far as I can tell.

It dates from about 1300 A .D.

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.

Ah, 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.

Hey, what is that?

Up in the upper left -hand corner.

A shield with the Crusader's crest.

It probably belonged to the man who drew the map.

Then the question is, the map of what?

Well, the only thing more valuable to the Crusader than Jerusalem itself was

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.

Right, 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 Philippe of France in 1314.

The legacy always believed it was Philippe who made a pact with the dark

then 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

The lady would like a tour?

St. Sophia?

Ah, the harbor, perhaps?

No, thank you. I have other plans.

As Madame wishes.

If you should change your mind, please ask for Mr.

Ali. Do not accept any cheapskate invitations.

I can be arranging anything.

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

Who are you? A man.

Did you bring it?

Yes.

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

Bring it tomorrow to a well of souls at five in the afternoon. What about my

father?

What about Justin Adam? Is he all right?

She took the map?

When? It must have been Tuesday because I haven't seen her since.

Did you find anything in her room?

She ran a search.

If the map was sent to her in the first place, why not just ask for it?

Well, that obviously is something that she didn't want to share with us.

I found this in her wastebasket.

Did you call her brother, Ethan?

Yeah, he hasn't heard from her.

Do you think we should contact the Boston house?

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

I think Camel... 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.

Jane.

Hey.

Justin Adams.

It's Kristen's father.

It already crossed my mind.

It has to be.

No, we better get packing.

I am 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 am saying to her it's very bad, but she is insisting.

So I... I find her a driver.

How long could they leave?

About an hour.

Maybe two.

All right, and how do I get to the well at Foonth? You must be very careful.

But I will show you how to get there.

You stay here and wait for me, okay?

I didn't bring it. Give it to me.

Where's my father?

Give it to me. I didn't bring it.

Now. Go to hell.

She's still alive. Yeah, well, whoever it was, he's gone. She's barely

conscious.

I don't know.

Drink it. It'll make you sleep.

Well, I don't normally drink.

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

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

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 a burnt fragment of the message in your room.

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

Oh, it was a game we used to play when I was a little girl.

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

You should have told me.

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

The man who attacked you, he spoke French?

Mm -hmm.

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

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.

Griffin.

Griffin. Did you recognize him?

But whoever it was, they knew my name.

This is going straight to my head.

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

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.

Yeah.

Make sure she gets her room.

Yeah.

You need help finding your room?

No, no, not really.

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

Nice color scheme.

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 a legacy.

I wouldn't sweat it too much.

Disobeying the rule book was really a big problem. I'm sure it would have been

out of a job years ago.

Lock the door.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Alex, we found Christmas.

How is she?

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

What time is it there?

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, Philippe IV of France had him arrested along with every

other member of his order on Friday the 13th, October 1307.

Now, apparently, Philippe wanted the chalice and believed that the Templars

found it.

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

alive. So he cursed Philippe to follow him in death, but never reach heaven.

Well, that's the amazing part.

Philippe did die within the year. So assuming the curse worked, his spirit's

been walking the earth for 700 years.

And Jacques de Molay? 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 Moulet's blood.

This map?

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

The rumors were that his throat was cut and his body burned beyond recognition.

That's horrible. Does Kristen know about this?

No.

Since the rumors were never confirmed, London thought it was better not to

her more than she already was.

Okay, so what's the next move?

The map is the key.

Work out the details as much as you can and fax it to me. I want to have a look.

Absolutely. Okay.

I'll hear from you. Bye.

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 going to read that?

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 Philippe of France.

Why is he pursuing my father?

When Philippe 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?

Philippe has always underestimated the power of the chalice to protect those

believe in it.

You must have faith.

Faith like my father.

You know, I have 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.

Maybe he was running.

I've known him for a long time.

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

Oh, except for those who loved him most.

Sometimes a man must do things the people he loves won't understand.

Finding the Grail, clearing the name Jacques de Molay has given his life

purpose.

Over 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.

No, 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.

Your name? Derek Rain.

One moment while I am looking.

I am 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 her the map along with the notes.

Good. I hope she marked it the fastest route because I just checked Christy's

room and she's gone.

Could she have been taken by force?

Well, there was 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

elevations in Moulet's map to the present countryside.

East of Istanbul, along the Black Sea, to the Church of the Rock.

Where Jacques de Moulet hid the chalice.

And where Kristen hopes to find her father.

I can't believe this is happening.

The engine needs time.

It's overheated. Yeah, so I noticed.

When will I see my father?

Very soon.

So where does the map lead, anyway?

To the Church of the Rock.

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?

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.

You have your father's rage.

What was it like growing up with him?

I think you mean without him.

You probably spent more time with him than I did.

But you must have 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.

Doesn't mean he loved you less.

Yeah.

That's true.

He tried.

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

But he would find that you love working in the field.

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

the one.

He'll stay.

But he never did.

And then one day when I was 15, he just went away, and he never came back.

Do you have any idea how much that hurt me?

I've never told anyone.

You're 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.

The engine is cold enough.

Let's go.

Domine non nobis et nomine tuo

da gloriam.

What's that, Latin for call AAA?

No.

It's the Crusaders' prayer.

The words they fought and died by.

Alex found it on the backside of the map.

What do you got?

Oil leak.

Fresh tracks.

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

She'll be able to catch up with them before nightfall.

I hope so.

But if 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 heretically.

I've only seen that he might have turned to the dark side.

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

So when you encouraged Kristen 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 would only get in

the way.

I hope this isn't making you feel paranoid.

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

Is there anything else that you know right now?

No, another thing.

Trust me.

Why are we stopping?

We found it.

We found what? The entrance to the Church of the Rock.

Last bastion of the Knights' Temple.

Where's my father?

He'll find us.

Church of the Rock.

Just as the Crusaders left it.

Jack, do you mind?

Unbelievable.

I don't see the chalice.

His health.

Now you keep yours.

Where is my father?

Very close.

As he's always been.

Don't talk in riddles.

Where is he?

Here. You must listen and do as I say.

Around your neck there's a cross.

When you turn it over...

of wood inlaid in the metal.

Supposedly a piece of the true cross.

It's what protected you from harm at 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.

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

It must be something in the mountains.

Well, hopefully it's close enough.

Yeah.

So this Philippe, if you want the chalice so bad, why doesn't he just grab

map and find it himself?

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

chalice, as long as it's in a hell of a ground, it cannot be destroyed.

Probably got about a half an hour of light left, and then we'll be driving

blind. Any sign that we're here?

Well, there's tire tracks here.

Woman's footprints.

Could be Kirsten's.

Man.

And a body.

He hasn't been dead long.

How was he killed?

Look at him.

Philippe.

Seeing you.

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

Time I should have spent with you.

The scars, you see.

He gave them to me.

Trying to get me to give him the map.

Is that why he 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.

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

You have every right to hate me.

But try to forgive me.

I don't hate you.

Whatever happened, whatever you've done, I've done my father.

I love you.

Give me strength and faith in you.

Nothing else on the map. Church must be closed.

Well, it can't be that far ahead. The engine's still warm.

Look.

Crusaders were soldiers.

It's a great place to defend a position.

You know, to set up a trap.

Be brave. I know there was never a time I didn't die.

No.

No!

Please don't die.

Please don't die.

He's got a job.

In the name of Jacques de Molay.

I command you to stop.

Don't know this.

Silence!

Parfait ici.

Well, no.

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

No, Derek, no!

He chucked him. I live through me.

That I might rise and smite him.

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 equals his.
