Original subtitles

Derek, I'd like to help you scatter her ashes.

Well, thanks, but it's been such a long time ago, I didn't think it would be

this difficult.

Some commitments are harder to keep than others.

You know, it sounds so familiar, but it's little things about Laura that

come back to me.

Her smile, the way she turned her head.

When was the last time you saw her?

Almost 20 years ago.

I just always assumed we would meet again.

I'm sure she thought the same thing.

Unfortunately, she left without a trace.

Now a lawyer sends me an urn with her remains.

What's that?

This is the last thing she ever gave me.

We were hiking.

Laura found it by the river.

It's the fossil of a leaf.

It's like a heart.

Yeah, she broke it in two and gave me half.

She said that whenever I would look at it, I would think of her.

It's very lovely.

And she was right.

Derek, there's someone here to see you.

Who?

I had no idea that...

Yes?

This is Lucas Dumont, Derek. He said that you would... Dumont?

And Laura LeMond was your mother?

Yes.

I'm sorry to barge in on you like this, but her attorney told me where to find

you. Why now?

And where's your father?

Right before me.

She told me if I was ever to find you that I should give you this.

Good son.

Wow.

Derek's just as surprised as you are, believe me. My best.

Fatherhood has been known to have that effect. How can he be sure?

How does he know that this guy is really his kid?

Have you met him?

No, I haven't. I just got back to the house.

Well, I think maybe you should withhold your judgment until you do. Do you think

he's his son?

No, I didn't say that.

Derek obviously really cared about this daughter of mine. I mean, he hasn't seen

her for 20 years, but her death really affected him.

And then out of the blue, this Lucas shows up.

Well, still, I think I'd ask him to see his birth certificate.

Um,

have any of you seen my father?

Oh, well, he's still in his office. He shouldn't be too long.

Nick, I'd like you to meet Lucas Dumont, Nick Boyle.

Hey.

I can, um, you know, go get him if you need to see him right now.

Oh, no, that's okay.

Um, I'm still just getting my bearings. I'll talk to him later.

Do you guys mind if I took a look around your grounds?

No, go ahead. There's lots to see.

Great.

You know, not to sound paranoid, but I think if I was Derek, I'd ask him to

a blood test.

That's a little tactless, Nick.

I don't think tact's the issue.

Yeah, but if Derek doesn't feel compelled to challenge him, why should

That's right.

In the time frame I gave you.

The mother's name was Laura Dumont.

Unmarried.

Yes, I'll wait.

Are you still there? Hello? Yes?

We show a certificate of live birth listing a male child born to a Laurence

Bond. Could you give me the name?

Listed on the certificate?

Lucas?

And the father?

I see.

Could you fix me a copy, please?

It's area code 415 -555 -0130.

Thank you.

So, what's the verdict?

According to the hospital, 20 years ago, a child was born to Laura Dumont.

A boy.

The father of a record is listed as Derek Ring.

Derek, that's wonderful.

It's incredible.

He must be overwhelmed.

Completely. To take this woman away and leave me a son.

God, the things that are racing through my mind.

Like what?

Curiosity, guilt, fear, overwhelming regret.

Talk about regret.

Oh, there's so much I've missed.

So much to make up for.

20 years, his entire childhood, everything gone.

And nothing I will ever do can bring it back.

What are you afraid of?

Not measuring up to what he expects.

Afraid that I'll be more like my own father, I care to admit.

And how do I explain what I... what we do?

Worried about bringing him into the family business, are you?

Well, given what I went through with my father, I should tell him to run.

Lucas has trapped a very long road to find you.

Let him lead.

See where it takes you.

You're very good.

I'm better.

You know, to truly learn, you must be truly tested.

The first true test is silence.

Try me.

I'm done for the day.

You're scared.

That's too bad.

Of what?

You? Losing.

Losing? Do you disagree?

Yeah,

I disagree.

Hey!

What's going on here?

Just a friendly discussion on the finer points of martial arts.

We got a little carried away.

All right.

She's coming down to invite both of you for lunch.

Nick?

I'm okay.

Bye now.

Okay.

Hello, father.

What are you reading?

My father's... Your grandfather's journal.

Really? I'll take a look when you're done.

Well, actually, I can't do that.

Sorry, I... I didn't realize.

No, I'm sorry.

Someday, we'll be different.

All right.

You know, we need to do something together.

Travel.

Maybe in a few months we could take a trip to the upper Euphrates, or the

Forbidden City.

I don't think so.

All right.

And what would you like to do?

Something together?

If you and me?

Sometime soon, maybe this weekend.

You like football?

Only morons are into sports.

Is that right?

So what are you into?

What do you really enjoy?

Can be anything.

Anything? Yeah.

Well, how about something exciting like river rafting?

River rafting?

Yeah, if you want me.

That's amazing.

Did you know that 20 years ago, your mother and I did the very same thing?

We'll have to hire a river guide.

Why?

Well, anything can happen on a river.

The best is an old man named Justin Marley.

Great.

When do we go?

We could drive up first thing in the morning.

Are you serious?

I'll set it up right now.

Perfect.

Hey, Lucas, I'll give you a hand.

I got it.

You're early.

Yeah, oh, no, I just, I wanted to be, uh... You got your cell phone?

Don't need it, don't want it.

Most of the river is beyond the range of the relay anyway, so if you really need

me, send me to the chopper.

Thought we were roughing it.

We are.

If anyone needs me between now and tomorrow night, I'm not available. It's

simple. Okay, I get it.

It's genetic.

What is?

Obsessive risk -taking. Come on, I'll walk you to the car.

Hey, Derek.

Still want me to pick you up to the riverhead?

Yes. Meet us at the landing downstream tomorrow night.

Okay, I'll be there.

What's wrong?

I want to be so happy for Derek. I mean, this...

The situation with his son is incredible, right?

But he's not letting us in on how he really feels.

Maybe it's just me, but sometimes I feel like such a stranger.

Maybe this Lucas will have some insight into this man's soul, you know what I

mean? Yeah.

The turnoff at the river was back there, wasn't it?

Where are we going?

There's someone I want you to meet.

Look, just take a moment.

Derek! What a pleasant surprise.

What are you doing here?

Is everything all right?

Actually quite wonderful.

I brought someone I thought you should meet.

Dear Mayor, it's you.

Almost.

Lucas is my son.

This is your aunt, Aunt Ingrid.

Aunt?

I see the boy I once knew in the young man before me.

Lucas.

That is a good name.

I have to think, Lucas.

But how, Derek?

Laura du Monde. You didn't know her.

Where is she now?

She's, um, dead.

I'm terribly sorry.

But it is all part of God's plan.

No plan. She's just dead.

You are angry.

Try realistic, Lucas.

It's all right, Derek.

When someone close to us dies, we sometimes hide our pain with rage.

Rubber mythology makes your day, sister.

Lucas, that's enough. It's all right, Derek.

God be with you.

Wait in the car.

Lucas.

I'm sorry.

You should have handled this better.

River rafting.

Just the two of us.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

I will.

So none of us trust Lucas?

What we really need is a DNA cross -match. Yeah, but how?

Lucas and I were discussing certain philosophical differences yesterday when

cut his lip.

I helped him stop the bleeding.

So you can construct a double helix for Lucas and compare it to the one in

Derek's file.

Proof without ever having to embarrass Derek by asking for a blood sample.

Very devious, Mr. Boyle.

But it's still going to take 24 hours to get a preliminary match.

This whole thing reeks.

I tried to do a background check on this guy.

Everything came up the same. Zip, hola.

Well, maybe we're looking in the wrong direction. Maybe we should be checking

out his mother instead.

What was the name of the lawyer that contacted Derek?

Swinburne. He's got an office over in Sausalito. Perfect. We'll drop Alex at

Explorer and hit him on the way back.

Deal.

Can you take the bag?

Yeah.

Hey, Justin.

How are you?

Not sure I liked it.

Never snows this time of year.

I think it's great.

So do I.

Justin, this is my son, Lucas.

Justin Marley, guide for all seasons, especially winter.

First time I went rafting, Justin took me, and I was only thrown out of the

twice. I kept on pulling you back in.

You just wouldn't stay put.

At least you lived to talk about it.

Yeah. First half of the trip, I was afraid I would drown. Second half, I was

afraid I wouldn't.

In weather like this, you better not fall out this time.

There'll be no coming back.

Give me your hand, Pop.

Easy there. Watch out for those rocks.

I love it.

Swinburne and Cable.

Yes? Okay.

Comparsing.

Five, five, five.

Five.

Can I help you? Yeah, I would like to speak to Mr. Swinburne.

I see.

Perhaps you'd like to speak with Mr. Cable.

No, we'd like to speak to Mr. Swinburne.

It's about the estate of Laura Dumont.

I beg your pardon?

Laura Dumont. He was the executor of her estate.

Can you wait here a moment?

Sure.

What the hell is going on?

Excuse me, Mr. Swinburne. Good question.

Ms. Stewart says you want to speak to Mr. Swinburne.

I'm afraid that won't be possible.

Why is that?

Because Mr.

Swinburne is dead.

He took his own life three weeks ago.

Hey, up ahead on the right.

I'm not so sure.

Snow makes everything look the same. No, I'm certain this is the place.

What are you talking about? The place for what?

Just a spot near the river.

Hop out.

We'll beat you here.

You two go ahead.

I'll stay with the raft.

I want to show you something.

Is this it?

Is this the spot where your mother found the fossil and broke it in two?

Beautiful.

I wanted you to see it.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure, anything.

Did you love my mother?

Yes.

Yes, of course.

So, what is it you did together?

What's this world that you live in all about?

Keep saying that there's these things that I need to know.

You never talk.

You're right.

You know, it's quite amazing and rather sad, but I, too, grew up without really

knowing who my father was or what he did.

When I was 15, he tried to change that by taking me with him on a business trip

to Peru.

Unfortunately, it was a big mistake.

Why? What happened?

It was an accident.

And I watched him die.

And afterwards, I blamed everything on his work.

Swore I would never follow in his footsteps.

So what did you do then?

Went back to school.

Threw everything into my studies.

And I found out that I was more like my father than I wanted to admit.

Driven. Obsessed.

I wanted to know everything about everything.

Science.

ancient civilizations, religions.

Then I fell into teaching.

Well, one thing led to another.

And you wound up at the Lunar Foundation?

Yes, I did.

In a very real sense, it was my father's legacy.

What changed your mind?

Passion.

I finally found something worth dying for.

By the look of it, not much more than an hour of daylight left.

Maybe we should call it a day before the current kicks in.

What current?

You guys said I was going to see some whitewater on this river. I haven't seen

anything yet.

We will.

Tomorrow.

All right.

We'll camp here for the night and run the rapids in the morning.

Come on. Why can't we run them now?

Always best to do the rapids at first light.

I agree.

I thought you said it was just going to be the two of us.

It is just the two of us, but we cannot run the rapids without a river guide.

He still makes three.

You and I depend on each other. I need you, so don't let me down.

How about letting me down?

Letting me down?

I wonder what's letting me down.

This is supposed to be my holiday.

You let me spend time together.

I don't believe you anymore.

Lucas.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

Hey. Oh, I found that letter from Swinburne asking Derek to scatter

ashes. It's dated the 20th.

Swinburne had already offed himself by then.

Or maybe he didn't kill himself.

You think somebody else murdered him and forged the letter?

His partner didn't even know who Laura DeMorme was.

I got a fax here from the Bureau of Records.

Lucas DeMond's birth certificate.

I guess that makes him real, huh?

It also gives us somebody else to talk to, a attending physician, Dr.

Jonas Griswold.

What exactly is the legacy?

I'll be down in a minute.

Who told you about the legacy?

My mother.

Just before she died.

What did she tell you?

That you would explain it to me.

It's not that simple.

Why?

A mother wouldn't lie.

No. Your mother wouldn't lie.

But your mother wasn't all she seemed.

I don't understand.

Just know that there are forces of evil in this world.

Forces that overwhelmed your mother and sent her to kill me.

Kill you?

It's ridiculous.

She loved you.

And I love her.

From the moment we met.

Why did she run away?

Because she did love me.

And because she was carrying you.

Because she was carrying me, she ran away from you? Not from me, but from the

evil that sent her.

I tried to find her and bring her back.

But obviously she didn't want to be found.

What a crock.

You must think that I believe anything.

No, Lucas.

I just ask you to believe what's true.

Answer your question?

Nope.

How long have you known him?

Since before your mama.

I knew her, too.

I had to find a doctor to bring you into this world.

What doctor?

Marie Glenn.

Good man.

Lived up the coast.

You never told my father?

He made me a promise.

He didn't want anyone to find her.

Or you.

Never told a toll.

Good.

Right, Dr. Risley?

Only one we got.

Be right outside if you have any trouble.

Thanks.

Dr. Risley?

I'm Dr. Corrigan.

My associate, Nick Boyle.

What kind of doctor?

I'm a psychiatrist.

No more tests.

Tell him I won't deny it. No more.

I'm not going to give you any tests.

I just want to ask you a few questions.

You probably don't remember.

20 years ago, you delivered a baby to a woman named... Laura Dumont.

Laura Dumont. How do you know this?

Has he been speaking to you too?

He?

But you're trying to trick me.

But I was not there. I do not remember.

I am not responsible.

Not responsible?

I don't want to talk about it.

Tell me what happened.

You're the attending physician.

She had a boy named Lucas.

They died.

She and the baby.

20 years ago.

It should be finished by now.

Are you telling me that Laura Dumont died 20 years ago with her child?

Both died.

Blood. Blood everywhere.

He told me not to say anything.

He said nobody would know. Just bury them down by the beach orchard and

would find out.

But... But somebody did figure it out, didn't they?

Lucas?

Don't force them. Force them? We need information.

I'm sorry for what you did.

Easy done.

Now you've done it.

Lucas?

Justin?

Justin, right here.

You

looking

for me, Father?

Where, Chuck?

I don't know.

Wasn't here when I woke up.

You break camp, and I'll check the river.

Alex got out of here at dawn to meet Derek.

Did he find anything?

It's all too neat.

Rizzling's crazy.

Twinburn's dead.

Derek's son just healed up out of nowhere.

He is in trouble. What are we going to do?

Take a look at this.

DNA cross -match.

The factories in Lucas' blood are all over the place.

It's not humanly possible.

He's still not here.

Something must have happened.

What now?

See anything?

I'm not sure.

I think you can see something.

Where?

Near that log.

I think it's him.

What are you doing?

You need to take a closer look.

That's crazy. There's nothing there.

Here, look at this.

Look at his arm.

What for?

We can't just leave him there.

Well, why not? If that is him, then he's already dead.

What kind of soulless person are you?

Let's go.

It's gonna be close enough to grab it.

Yeah. Rachel.

Any sign of Derek or Lucas on your end? No,

nothing yet. What's going on? Is Derek okay? We're not sure.

Look, we're taking the helicopter. We're going to follow the river down to you.

Let me know the minute you spot anything, okay?

Right. Let's hurry. We're running out of daylight.

There's River.

I'll take the break.

So who are you really? Not much

light left. What if we don't find them before it gets dark? I'd keep looking.

You lit a fire.

Sorry you wasted your time, Father.

You lit my sun.

So who the hell are you?

When you said that your mother told you to ask me about the legacy, I knew it

was a lie.

You're more like me than you could possibly realize.

No, not even close.

So what did you do with my real son? You kill him too?

No. Not that I wouldn't have enjoyed it.

But he died a long time ago.

So what do you want?

Kill me?

Get on with it then.

I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to become you.

Discard this body and take yours.

My God.

You want to destroy the legacy from within.

Yes.

And nobody will ever know.

I can't

see a thing.

They're firing and they gotta be down there somewhere.

Yeah. Now it begins.

Can you feel it?

Touching your fingers and your toes. It works.

Into your spine.

You cannot have what I do not willingly give.

You alone is not enough.

Soon it will affect your sight.

You can feel it, can't you?

So can I.

Nick wait down there

Since

my return from the day in the river I've known no peace

Though my mind assures me that Lucas was never real, my heart cannot forget his

face, and I long for all that might have been.
