Original subtitles

Last time we raced, you weren't this fast.

What's happened?

Oh, you have? Well, that's getting a head start then, isn't it?

Okay. Picture time.

Pat, it's my turn to take your picture. No, next time. I get this one. You get

the next one.

Next one. Over by that. I can take one of the both of you.

Sorry.

I don't mean to intrude.

You know what? It'd be great. I'd really like a picture of the two of us

together. That's fine.

All right. Up we go.

Ready?

Right there?

Right here. All right. Don't look so smug now.

Here we go.

Good one.

All right. That's great. Good one.

It's probably just a stray. Are you all right?

I think so.

A little shaken, but we're okay.

Oh, yeah, thanks.

Thanks for everything.

It's all right. Don't mention it.

I'm David Court.

David, hi.

Rachel Corrigan. This is my daughter, Catherine. Hello, Catherine.

Listen, you know, I'm renting the cabin up the road there.

You want somebody to walk you back?

Yeah, someone to walk us home. I think that's a... No, no. What? No? It's okay.

You sure?

It's only a dog.

It's only a dog.

Uh, so, looks like we got things handled here.

Hey, thanks for offering and everything, you know.

Maybe I'll see you again. Yeah, maybe.

Helluja -

Impressive.

I join you about exercises against my religion. I'm a practicing non

-participant. How long have you been standing there?

Long enough to see that you're really good. Thank you.

I hope you didn't have any more trouble from that stray.

What, the dog? Oh, no, he's... You know what?

I'm really glad you're here because it gives me a chance to say thank you very

much. Don't mention it.

You're going to be around long.

Actually, no. We've got to leave tomorrow. You know, Kat's got school and

get back home. Yeah, I know what you mean. I've got to head back to the Bay

myself. What? You live in San Francisco?

More like Sausalito.

We're almost neighbors.

We're just over the bridge south of the park.

It's our last night and everything.

Do you want to have dinner with us?

Oh, I wouldn't want to impose.

No. No imposition. Believe me, it's very casual. I promise.

Seven o 'clock, okay?

Seven.

That's right. We'll get back to you as soon as we have an answer, okay?

Well, that was the legacy team in Barbados. I told them the shipment just

arrived, but they're still pushing for answers.

Yeah.

It's hurricane season.

They need to pinpoint the wreck before the first storm hits.

Oh, look at these barnacles.

Well, assuming it is from the Alba Maria, it's been down there for over 400

years.

Since 1534. If I remember correctly, the ship was lost with all hands.

Among them, Joseph Delacorte, the first legacy priest ever sent to New World.

Well, why don't we start with x -rays and spectrographic analysis?

Yeah, we'll have it brought upstairs and we'll clean it. Once we know what it

is, maybe we can compare it with the ship's manifest.

Okay.

You know, I'd forgotten how good a home -cooked meal could be.

Spend all your free time in the kitchen?

Not hardly.

You used to. Well, once upon a time.

You can cook for me anytime.

He's not a cook. He's a doctor.

Is that what you want to do? You want to become a doctor like your mother?

I don't know. I haven't decided yet.

Who did it?

You're a contractor, right?

No, actually an architect.

An architect?

Yeah.

My late husband was an architect.

Really? What was his name? Patrick Corgan. I mean, you wouldn't have known

David Korn?

Yeah.

The David Korn? Mm -hmm. We met in Minneapolis, the Lee Gallery in Atlanta.

Sometimes you get lucky, you know? You'll be in the right place at the

time. No, no, no. Your work is incredible.

I was in Atlanta last year, and I went to the gallery, and, uh... Oh, the way

you use space, it's just... That fountain in the courtyard, it moved me.

Your mother's being very kind.

I'm really tired. May I be excused? Hey, we got brownies.

I'll pass.

You know, I do hope I get to see you again sometime.

Probably not. We're going home. The vacation's over.

You know what?

David lives in Sausalito, so maybe... Yeah, you have to let me buy you both

dinner. Night, Mom.

Oh, girl.

All right, you go brush your teeth, and I'll come back in, all right?

Night, Catherine.

Night.

She's a terrific kid.

But I gotta apologize for her. I don't know what's up.

She must be tired again. Look at this. The color came out really well.

No question where she gets her good looks.

How do you take your coffee?

Cream.

No sugar.

Isn't it?

Yep. Too big to be a door knocker, too small to be a door.

Kind of odd shape.

Looks like a platter.

Yeah, well, perfect for serving barnacles du jour.

What are the dimensions?

22 inches wide and an inch thick.

Composition? Well, the spectrographic analysis indicates pure silver, but I'm

going to have to clean it up to be sure.

All right, well, you get started, and I'll call London and tell them we've

begun. Okay.

God, you remind me so much of Patrick.

You know, he gave me this ring in Venice, found it in Piazza San Marco.

Beautiful. Very beautiful.

I'm sorry.

I must be making you really uncomfortable.

Not at all. It's kind of proves that love is like energy. You know, it's not

created or destroyed. It just changes forms.

Oh, my God, look at the time.

1 .30. I don't believe it. I can go on and on. I'm sorry. That's my fault.

I enjoyed myself.

Thank you.

I am really glad you came.

So am I.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm not.

Listen, I'm...

When we get back? In a couple of days? Yeah.

Would you mind if I give you a call?

Great.

I mean, so would I.

Okay.

You did very well. Yes.

You did very well. Very well.

Yes.

But... But what?

Well, I don't know.

I didn't think it was going to be like this. You wanted wealth and power to be

somebody. I know.

Such things have a price.

But just exactly what is it that you want?

Did you bring the photograph?

This isn't right.

Show me your hands.

Have you forgotten so soon?

The bargain you struck cannot be breached.

The photograph.

The photograph.

I don't understand.

Why Rachel Corrigan? She didn't do anything.

It's not the mother.

It's the daughter I...

He's sending flowers.

Hello?

Yes, she is.

Mom, it's him.

Him who?

Him, him.

David?

This is incredible. These flowers, they're beautiful.

Oh, I'm glad you like them.

Actually, I was just calling to make sure you and your daughter got home all

right. Oh, yeah. No, we just got here, and everything's fine. Thanks for

thinking about us. Well, to be honest with you, um...

I've had a hard time thinking of anything else.

Well, that's really sweet of you. I'm really glad we met, you know.

It's a good thing, I think.

I was thinking, you probably don't want to cook, so I could drive over, pick you

and Kat up, and buy you dinner.

What, dinner tonight?

Yeah.

That's kind of the idea.

Mom, you promised we could order pizza.

You know what?

David, I don't think dinner's going to work tonight. Cat, honey, why don't you

see if you can find some water for those guys?

I understand.

Yeah, maybe some other time.

Well, absolutely. It's just, you know, tonight, having just got in the door and

everything, and Cat's got to get back to school, it's kind of hectic.

Look, you know, it's no problem. I understand completely.

Okay, how about tomorrow, during the day, when Cat's in school, I could drive

over and pick you up. We could go for coffee.

You want to have coffee?

Yeah, I'd love to.

About 11?

Pretty good, yep.

My God, I'm in trouble here, aren't I?

What am I going to do with you?

I'd say that's an open question.

See you at that?

At 11 then, okay?

Great. Bye.

So, how's it coming?

Well, it's sort of like opening an oven to find a souffle that exploded 400

years ago.

Well, hopefully it won't take the same number of years to clean it up. Oh, no

kidding. Did you find the right chisel?

Yes, right here.

So, did you hear from Nick?

Yes, apparently he reached the Singapore house and met with the priestess.

They plan on leaving in the morning for Dunhuang.

Ah, cave of a thousand Buddhas. He must be psyched.

Jet -lagged is more likely.

He said he would call if he had anything worth reporting on the missing monk.

How about Rachel?

Oh, well, she called this afternoon. Apparently she met someone.

She's going to bring him by tomorrow to meet us.

Sounds serious.

After everything she's been through.

Yeah. It would be nice to see her find someone again.

Can you believe how fast this weather has changed?

Look at the way the fog's starting to roll in.

What a fantastic old house.

I thought you'd like it. What exactly does the Luna Foundation do?

Mostly research.

Rachel, you're back.

Alex, great. I want you guys to meet David Kord. This is Alex Moreau and

Rain.

Of course, your reputation precedes you.

My pleasure.

I've got to tell you, that steel town complex you designed in Pittsburgh, the

simplicity of it... Oh, you're being very kind.

You know what? David and I were having coffee, and you can actually see this

house from Ghirardelli Square.

No apologies, no attempts to be politically correct.

I've often admired myself from the mainland. When was it built?

The end of the last century.

It withstood quite a few earthquakes, a storm or two.

Not to mention fires.

You know, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love a tour.

You know what? I've got to get back to pick up Kat after school.

But I'd like to show David the grounds, if that's okay.

Of course.

I

really

appreciate you taking the trouble to bring me out here. No, it is no trouble.

wanted you to see this place.

These people, because, you know, they played a huge part in my life since my

husband died. Look, you don't have to talk about it.

No, no, I do. I... Look, I know that we don't know each other very well, and I

can't explain the way I feel, but it's just... God, I'm really attracted to

Well, that sounds like a good beginning.

But there's things that have happened to me in the last few years, and...

I can't talk about it. Don't be.

It's not that easy.

Yes, it is. Why don't we just let whatever's going to happen, happen?

I want to be around you. You want to be around me.

To start.

Let's just see where it takes us.

What I'm trying to say is that maybe you should just think twice before you

decide to get involved.

I already have.

That's why I'm here.

There is a, just on the other side of that pond, an amazing sculpture.

Sculpture.

Looks like Rachel may have finally found someone.

Though I must say that I expected someone a bit more mature.

Really?

Yes, didn't you?

Derek, we are approaching the 21st century. Don't you think that's being a

little chauvinistic?

Look, there are two people attracted to each other.

Now, if it were you and a younger woman, would you feel the same way?

You're absolutely right.

Yeah. Rachel is a remarkable woman. I can see why any man might be attracted.

Still, we need to run a background check on him.

Just in case.

Just in case of what? Bad credit?

Rachel may be part of the legacy, but her private life is her own.

When you join a legacy, you enter the inner circle.

Everyone outside that circle is suspect.

You mean that every time someone asks me out, you run a security check on them?

Absolutely. I wonder I can't get a date. Derek, how come I didn't know about

this before?

I don't know.

It's protocol.

It's the same for everyone.

For the good of Zoom.

You were with her.

Tell me.

She's a beautiful woman.

Very intelligent.

We went for coffee, we talked.

She took you to Angel Island?

What does all this have to do with her daughter?

The girl has powers like no other.

Once in a hundred years will such a child be born.

Then why not just take her?

Because the mother protects the child from harm.

In Rachel Corrigan's mind, her love remains focused on her daughter alone.

As long as this is true, no harm can come to the girl.

Others have tried and failed.

So I seduce the mother, and you take the daughter?

Yes.

You learn quickly.

Her needs make her vulnerable to your touch.

In the throes of passion, she'll forget her child.

What do you do with the girl once you have her?

She must be turned.

Turned?

Away from the light.

Away.

Mm -hmm. Where's that picture of me and you that guy took?

You and me. And that guy's got a name. It's David.

You promised I could have it for my room.

I know.

I can't find it anywhere.

Kat, if you'd just give me a minute, I'll help you look for it.

Rachel Corrigan.

Hey, David.

Hey, David.

Just calling to say how much I enjoyed the other day.

We have to do it again?

Well, I'd love to.

Tomorrow's Saturday.

There's a house.

Actually, I designed it for myself. I thought maybe you'd like to come out and

see it.

It's not that far, less than half an hour. Well, that sounds pretty fabulous.

But you know something?

Saturday's the day I spend with Kat, so that... Well, bring her along.

Good idea. We'd love to.

I'll call you tomorrow with directions.

Okay, that'd be great. I'll talk to you then. Bye.

Spend all day at some stupid house.

You said we were going to the Legacy this weekend.

I did.

It's over.

Okay, you're right. I should have asked you before I said yes.

I got an idea.

Why don't I call Derek, find out what they're doing, and maybe I can take you

out to the Legacy and pick you up on Sunday.

You won't be there?

Catherine, you can't have it both ways. I mean, I just told David that I would

come see his house. I can't really call him back and...

cancel. That'd be rude, wouldn't it?

I guess.

Listen, honey, I know you didn't like him very much when you first met him,

David is a really nice guy.

He is.

And I want to spend some time with him, so would you just like to give him a

break? Maybe a second chance for me?

Okay. Okay.

Be too fine in that picture. One, two, three, go!

It looks like you're making progress.

Any idea what we're looking at?

Oh, just a guess, but I say it's some sort of a shield.

Oh, Rachel called.

She wants to know if Kat could spend the weekend because David wants to show her

some house he designed.

A house?

Where? I don't know. Not far. You're...

So suspicious.

What's this?

Well, according to this, around 1300, a prince in Venice sold his soul for

wealth and power.

And as part of the bargain, he was made to wear a silver band on each wrist.

All right, so that when his time came, the dark side would always know where to

find him. What's the connection?

Well, when I shook David Court's hand, I thought I saw something similar.

People do wear silver bracelets, Derek.

David Kord in league with the dark side.

I only saw one, but it was very close.

What are you going to tell Rachel?

Nothing.

Nothing until we know for sure.

Thanks for taking her for the weekend.

No problem. I'm only sorry you won't be staying here as well.

Give your mom a hug. You've got a lot of work to do.

Bye, Mom.

Somebody's excited.

Don't forget to do your homework.

Bye, Mom.

You have a minute?

No, well, actually, I... What?

David Court.

You like him a lot, right?

Yeah, I do.

Oh, please don't take this the wrong way, but just be careful.

Exactly what about David do you object to?

Nothing. It's just that his rise to sudden celebrity seems exceptionally

and there's always a possibility he may be using you. You did a background check

on him.

Rachel, please. It's standard procedure. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Standard procedure for who? For you?

Damn it. Derek.

How dare you pry into my personal life?

I have given so much of my life to the legacy as it is. And David and me and...

That... That's my business. And if you cared about me, you'd respect that.

Rachel.

Please.

I'll be back for Cat in the morning.

It's been underwater so long that it's taken all this time just to scrape away

the gunk and barnacles just to see what's underneath it.

Everything all right?

Not really.

Want to talk about it?

Mom's met this guy.

You don't think he fell hot, huh?

He's just... such a phony.

Phony? Like what?

Like everything he says.

When he came over for dinner, Mom's an okay cook.

Just pasta, you know.

And it's like a big deal to him.

He really barfed me.

Barfed you?

That's how phony he is.

And my mom didn't even notice.

Hmm. I see.

Rachel, no!

You know, when my mother died, my father must have dated a

hundred women.

Tall ones, short ones.

Pretty ones, not so pretty ones. And it really bothered me.

Because no matter how hard they tried to be nice, they just weren't my mom.

What did you do?

Well, there was nothing I could do. But every time he would show up with a new

one, I'd get worried. Is this going to be the one? How am I ever going to call

her mom?

It was really hard until I realized that he wasn't going to marry any of them.

They were just dates.

Just dates?

Yeah, just dates. Nothing serious. Nothing that lasted.

So all my worrying was for nothing.

But this is different.

My mom's serious.

Well, maybe, but don't you think it's a little too soon to tell?

The important thing is not to judge. Just give this guy a chance.

I guess.

Tell you what.

Why don't you give me a hand with this?

What is this thing, anyway?

Well, it's a mystery, and in order to solve it, you have to make it shine. So

want you to start working on this end.

Okay. Rub it right here real hard.

There we go. Now I'll start on this end, and we'll meet somewhere in the middle.

You made it? Yeah. I'm starting to worry. Sorry, I'm late. I had to drop

at the Lunar Foundation.

Oh, my God, it's so beautiful.

I mean, you said you designed it, but I had no idea.

Well, who knows? It could be yours.

Come on, let's not get carried away here.

Anything's possible.

Yeah, anything's possible.

Oh, Mary.

Thank you.

I mean, the light and the faith.

Then you like it, don't you?

Oh, I love it.

Take a look around.

I can just help myself?

You see, everything's working out.

Just like you planned.

No.

It isn't.

What do you mean? She's here. But the girl isn't.

Of course not. What do you expect me to do? Seduce the mother with the daughter

in the next room?

Next time, I'll make sure she brings her.

There won't be a next time.

What do you mean?

Just keep her here.

Take the girl to me.

David?

Fantastic, where are you?

I'll be right there.

That stand of tree?

Yeah, yeah. Oh, those are Japanese maple chips.

I could have sat all afternoon.

Well, that's the whole tour.

Soup to nuts.

The world stands out on either side.

No wider than the heart is wide.

And above the earth, stretch the sky. No higher than the soul is high.

Okay.

Well, I don't believe you know that poem. This is kind of getting out of

control, isn't it?

Right. How about something to eat? You know, it's not quite up to the dinner

made me, but... Best I can do.

Coat of arms.

So this guy must have been a knight or something, right? Yeah.

Something like that.

Primus inter pares.

What does that mean?

Well, it's Latin for...

All little girls must do their homework.

It does not. Yes, it does.

Now, come on. We promised your mom, remember?

But it's a weekend.

Okay.

You get started on your homework. I'll let you come down and help me later,

okay? Promise?

Promise.

Okay. Come on.

You don't ever drink?

Ever? Or is it just that you don't drink with strange men on blankets on the

floor? No, ever. I mean... I must admit, the blanket is unique.

Is that for you being strange?

I don't think so.

Is that right?

I mean, a little odd, perhaps, but strange.

What way do you get to know me better?

Will I?

What do you want?

Get to know you better.

Oh,

yeah. We're just going a little too fast here.

What do you mean? Well, I feel like I'm in high school again.

No, that's not right because I hated high school. No, come on. Don't lie to

I can see all those little girls just hanging off you.

Absolutely untrue. I was a complete geek.

Finally got that ball of energy up doing her homework.

She wouldn't go until we finished polishing the entire piece.

She did a very good job of it, too.

Primus inter pares.

First among equals.

It's the motto of the De La Corte family quest.

Then it has to be from the record album, right?

No. Notify Barbados.

I know.

Dad?

Mom?

It's okay, honey. I'm here.

I was having such a real feeling.

But it's all right.

Don't worry.

Come on.

I'll take you home.

Home? And everything's going to be all right.

What about my mom?

Beastie.

I had to have it.

Then why didn't you just ask me?

In Cat's face, what... Why is everything else all dark?

Something you're not telling me. Something about Cat?

Oh, don't be silly.

Oh, wait a minute.

This is not silly.

I'm serious.

Why did you take this without asking, and then why did you do this to it?

Better start explaining.

I can't.

Oh, God.

Oh, God, I can't believe I've been this blind.

Rachel, listen. Don't you touch me.

This has got nothing to do with me. This is about my daughter. All you wanted

was to get to my daughter. That's not true.

Rachel, you cannot stop her. Stop who?

Your daughter has already been taken. Don't move.

do as I say.

I don't think so

She'll kill you.

Kat, listen to me, honey.

Mommy.

Honey, she has no power over you.

Don't I?

Mommy.

Let her be.

No.

This is no concern of yours.

I had you forgotten, not Larkin.

Larkin?

I've always done everything you asked.

I agree to this.

You disobey.

Forgive me.

I'm not doing what you say anymore.

And it's time.

Sometimes our lives take such an unexpected turn.

Two strangers meet, find some comfort in each other's touch, and then move

on.

Not quite love.

And yet there are times I wonder what might have been.
