Since the beginning of time, mankind has existed between the world of light and

the world of darkness. This journal chronicles the work of our secret

known as the Legacy, created to protect the innocent from those creatures that

inhabit the shadows and the night.

Do you feel like talking about her a little bit?

Actually, I'd like that.

Jennifer and I met when I came up here to do research.

So you work together?

No.

But the minute I saw her, I knew it was destiny.

This must be very hard for you. I'm sorry.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can't stop the inevitable.

Yeah, I knew what you mean.

So what kind of research?

Uh, forensic medicine.

Hmm. Thought maybe I could help stop tragedies like this from happening.

Talk about ironic.

Listen, for what it's worth, we're gonna find her killer.

We?

You're with the police?

Uh, no, it's, um, I work for a private foundation, a sort of think tank that

focuses on cases like this.

You think you'll find the one who did this? If it's possible, we'll find him.

Look, if there's any way I can help, I mean, for Jennifer's sake.

Well, we usually work alone, but, um, if you can think of anything, you can

always reach me at this number, okay?

Thanks. Okay.

We'll see you, okay?

Mm -hmm.

I hope you get him.

Before he gets you.

Still thinking about Corvus? Mm -hmm.

Can't seem to shake this feeling.

It's not like it's the first time I've ever been threatened by a patient. It's

just the first time I've ever condemned one to death.

You did what had to be done.

Did I?

Corvus said that he could see a little bit of the killer in me.

Maybe he was right.

Rachel, we all have to make hard choices.

Ultimately, what you did was justified.

Is that how you rationalize your actions, Derek? I don't have to

doing the right thing.

Derek, we justify so many things we do in the name of the legacy, but we're not

infallible.

No, we're not.

There will be mistakes. We're not perfect.

We must accept that, do our best, and get on with our mission.

I guess that's the difference between you and me.

I don't find it so easy playing card.

Unfortunately, self -doubt isn't the luxury I've been provided.

I'm going to Mendocino until we understand the connection between Corvus

murders. We have work to do.

Do you have to pay your respects?

Yeah, I suppose I have.

What brings you here at such an ungodly hour, Father?

His name was Raymond Corvin.

The whole thing has been very troubling.

Did you know him? There was no one closer.

Have we met?

You seem very familiar somehow.

I hear that all the time.

Must have one of those faces.

Such a terrible waste.

Afraid I disagree.

See, I think he served a higher purpose.

You're right, of course.

Even someone like Raymond Corvus must be part of God's plan.

What makes you so certain that he was evil?

Perhaps he was just doing what came naturally to him.

How could something so monstrous be natural?

When it's what I need to survive.

You?

I don't understand.

About two minutes.

And I'm not your son.

Sound familiar, Father?

No.

No, that's impossible.

According to the ornithologist at Humboldt University, it comes from a

coastal raven. Nothing unusual about it. Other than the fact they keep finding

him near the eyeless victims.

After what happened to Rachel, I'm convinced Corvus is responsible.

Well, shouldn't the killings have stopped since Corvus' execution?

His body may be dead, but the spirit that took over his body is a different

matter.

What did you find?

According to Chiapasi legend, the raven transports the spirit of the evil one to

reach its victims while the body remains behind.

Well, it sounds like we need to find someone familiar with the Chiapasi

then.

Given that the last member of the Chiapasi died 300 years ago, it won't be

Hello. Nick, where are you?

Okay, we're on our way.

Another victim just south of here. The priest at San Quentin.

Well, looks like our guy again. I reckon he's a handiwork anywhere.

His name's Father Norman, and apparently he gave Corvus his last rites.

No, I found this in the woods.

Corvus?

He started killing again.

Corvus is dead, but the spirit that inhabited his body isn't.

We must look for a killing pattern.

Of course.

The spirit will kill the same way Corvus did because it has the same needs.

It's the ritual.

It allows the spirit to feed off its victim's life force.

You know, this guy's having a feast, man, because he wasn't the first.

There was another body found a couple hours ago. Pops found it. Dr.

Reeves, he was the guy who pronounced Corvus dead.

And they were both with Corvus before he died.

They were the last ones who talked to him.

But not the only ones.

There was someone else.

A reporter named Megan Torrance.

I suppose you're here to show me the police station, or is this another

coincidence?

I wish it was.

This is my associate, Nick Boyle. Nick, it's Megan Torrance. Mr. Boyle. Howdy.

So, another member of the Luna Foundation.

Which degree qualifies you for membership?

Would it be art history or anthropology?

Black belt.

I had a very liberal education.

If this is about the doctor who was killed, I already know.

It's not only the doctor. They just found a priest who offered corporate and

last rites.

That's two in one day.

Yeah, it also means he's killing witnesses to the execution, so... Maybe

time for you to consider leaving the area for your own good.

I'm afraid I can't do that, Derek.

This story is about to break, and I'm right in the eye of the storm. This

like anything you've ever dealt with before.

Trust me.

Reporters run to stories like this, not away from them.

Nice meeting you, Nick.

Gatsby. No sense of self -preservation, but Gatsby.

Where'd you meet her?

Oh, that's a long story.

She interviewed Corvus an hour before he died.

Well, I guess that qualifies her as a possible victim.

Alex Moreau. Hi, it's Jeff Sandor. Oh, Jeffrey. I didn't think you'd still be

town. Yeah, I'm staying just up the road.

I can't leave till it's over.

Hey, I just heard the news about the latest killings.

I was hoping you'd made some progress.

Sorry, but there's nothing I can tell you yet. Oh, no, no, no.

No, of course not.

Look, I don't want to get in the way, but... If there's anything you think I

could do to help...

Well, thanks.

Right now, it's pretty hard to tell, but if there's anything I could think of,

I'll let you know. Is there a number I can reach you at?

Well, actually, it's easier if I call you.

Okay, well, tell you what. Give me a chance to talk to the others, and we'll

talk in the morning. Great.

Any way I can help, I will.

Okay, thanks.

The Lord help those who help themselves.

What was that?

Jennifer Hollybrook's friend, a grad student named Jeffrey Sandor. He's in

forensics, and I thought that he might be some help down the road.

Leave him out. It's for the time being.

We don't want to endanger anyone else.

Female.

A daughter. She must be, what, 12 years old?

I'd like to spend time with both of you.

a whole new world for you.

Miss Jennings, yes, hi.

It's Rachel Corrigan. I'm sorry I'm calling you so late. Can I talk to Kat

minute, please?

Hey, baby, how you doing?

So, how was the Smithsonian?

Well, I guess it's about as old and dusty as it gets, huh? That's why you're

there.

Well, I wish I was there with you, too.

Speaking of which, I've got a favor to ask you, okay?

Kat, I just want you to stay really close to the other girls.

Right? You do that for me?

Because Washington's a big city and you're a little girl. My little girl.

That's a good enough reason, isn't it?

So I'll talk to you tomorrow and see you really soon, okay?

That's a girl.

I don't want to end up like the others.

Can you tell me where the body is?

Wait, no, don't hang up.

Listen, why don't we discuss this in person?

It'll be private.

You choose the place. I promise not to bring the police.

Okay.

Okay, Crescent Park, just south of town, off the main road. Meet me in the

parking lot in a half an hour.

I will. Hey, thanks for calling.

Why, hello, Mr. Boyle.

Hello.

Aren't you supposed to be out with Derek somewhere, catching a killer?

Mm -hmm.

But I'm also trying to stop the next murder. It's sort of a package deal.

Well, I'm all right by myself, thanks. I don't need you to watch my back.

Maybe not.

But you're gonna need 50 bucks, unless you can talk that cop out of giving you

ticket.

Uh, officer?

Oh, officer, you know, I've been looking for you.

We're at the station and everything. You'd think that I could have... Listen,

the man in the car behind us there in the red muttering, he's been following

Really?

I feel much better.

Thank you.

Step out of the car.

You gotta be kidding me.

Miss Torrent.

I wondered if you'd really come.

Where's the bottle?

Over there.

Right next to the sign. You'll see.

Must be Corvus.

Corvus? You mean a copycat? No, not a copycat.

It's a real thing. See for yourself.

What are you saying? The guy's Corbett?

You must be confused.

I saw Raymond Corbett die.

He's old.

That's not the way I remember it.

You... You were there.

At the execution.

Kill me now.

And set me free.

So... Where is the body?

Right where you're standing.

How are you feeling? Like a million bucks in East German marks after the

came down.

Were you able to see his face?

No.

It was too dark.

He must have been at the execution.

He said he remembered it.

I think it was one of the guard.

One of the witnesses from New Corvus.

Hmm.

That's the logical explanation.

Derek.

It happened so fast.

It was awful.

Try not to think about it.

Derek. Hmm? What's really going on here?

Well, we don't know.

I've spoken to the sheriff, and they'll post a guard at your door around the

clock, just to be safe.

I can't stay here.

I've got a story to write. Megan, you were nearly killed.

Nearly doesn't count.

Remind me to show you my bulletin someday.

I was out. She's got a line. I'm an expert.

Expert?

You get some sleep. I'll stop back as soon as it's over.

Promise.

Derek!

So, who's this Oliver Hathman?

He's the assistant curator at the Tribal Museum. It's just south of Eureka. I

went by this afternoon, but it was closed.

Well, any idea when they might be open?

I tried calling. All I got was an answering machine.

Well, why don't we stop by there for a second more morning?

Assuming this Hathman's our man.

Oh, he's our man. I spoke to my friend Charlie in anthropology down in

and he told me that Oliver Hathman did his dissertation on the Chiapasi.

Now, he also explained why we haven't found anything more recent than 300

And that's because when the Spanish tried to convert them, they resisted and

were consequently wiped out.

Mighty Christian of them.

Now, I've been thinking about Corvus. Obviously, his powers must have limits

because he was unable to escape from prison.

Not with his human body.

But if I'm right, he used a raven to find new victims.

And once his body died, he was able to possess a new body.

So in executing him, it actually helped him to move on, start over.

He manipulated Rachel into declaring him sane, so did I execute him. So, if this

evil spirit originated with the Chia Posse and they were wiped out over 300

years ago, where has it been hiding all this time?

Rachel Corrigan.

Hi, Rachel, it's Derek. Sorry to call you so late, but I'm here with Nick and

Alex, and we were wondering if you had any luck tracking this spirit of ours.

Well, not much.

I ran a worldwide search using Corvus's M .O., and other than war atrocities,

nothing matches.

But somehow we have to find a way to come close to him, predict what his next

move will be.

Corvus said his victims were predestined to be his prey.

We have to figure out who his next victim is before he does.

Oh, I spoke to Jeffrey Sander today, you know, Jennifer's friend. Maybe she said

something to him prior to the attack that might help us.

Do you think he'd talk to me?

I think so. He seemed pretty anxious to help.

You know, because if we could figure out what made Jennifer Hollybrook a target,

then maybe we could stop this entity.

Before he kills again.

Now, maybe it's strange, but since she died, I feel closer to Jennifer than

ever.

Do you still want to help us find her killer?

Absolutely.

Well, then I'd like you to meet a colleague of mine.

She's a psychiatrist, Dr. Rachel Corrigan, and she'd like to ask you a

questions that would help us identify the killer.

Yeah, I'd be happy to help in any way.

After all, I knew Jennifer better than anyone.

Great.

Okay, we'll call you when we're ready, okay?

Bye -bye.

It keeps getting better and better.

This is it.

Oh, yeah. This is where Corbis killed his psychiatrist.

Did you know her?

No, no, not really.

Her name was, uh, Mavis Beauchamp.

You know, we crossed paths a couple times at, uh, conferences in California

through a rock -hidden analyst.

She told me once that she'd never met a patient she couldn't cure.

Then she met Corbis.

Sometimes goodwill is not enough.

You need a bulletproof vest and a taser.

So who'd you have to call to get us in here?

An old friend of mine at the medical board. I told him I needed to see

old file.

Wouldn't the police have gone through them all?

Sure, but Derek's right.

Please don't look for the legacy.

What about Jeffrey Sandor?

Oh, he wants to talk. In fact, I was supposed to meet him in town.

Why don't I bring him around here instead?

Good idea.

Okay, I'll be back.

I'll be here.

Oliver Hatham.

I'm Doug Rain. This is my associate, Nick Boyle.

How are you?

I didn't recognize the ritual.

It's called golf?

Hard to work on my backswing in here. Too much valuable stuff.

How can I help you?

Charlie Three Trees said you could help us.

Charlie's a good man.

What can I do for you? We're interested in the Chiapasni raven ritual.

Did my dissertation on them.

Who made you choose them?

Every other tribal group was worked over. Apache, Navajo, there's a zillion

papers on them. The Chiapasni, on the other hand, are hardly known.

That's because they were wiped out by the whites.

Yeah.

Bummer.

But their extinction earned me a degree.

Why the interest in the raven ritual?

We sort of specialize in obscure rituals.

The transmigration of souls.

That's pretty obscure.

How much do you know about the raven transformation?

Mostly what the Spanish recorded.

They didn't even understand what they were seeing.

Tried to exorcise the Chiapasi demons with Christian dogma.

White eyes can be pretty stupid.

No offense.

None taken.

So what is it that they didn't understand?

According to legend, an evil soul called the Hunter resided within the chief of

the Chiapasi.

Supposedly, he'd leave his body using the raven to transport his spirit in

to gather the souls of his victims.

To what purpose?

Power.

I kill you, I take your power.

Chiapasi were okay with that?

No choice.

Chiapasi legends say the hunter's been around since the world was young.

An elemental spirit.

So can the hunter be killed?

You mean hypothetically?

Yeah.

It's hard to say.

I mean, there must be some way of destroying him.

You won't read this in my thesis, but I heard it from a few of the old -timers.

Just rumors, really.

Said that while the hunter's out of his body looking for victims, the body he

leaves behind is vulnerable to only one thing.

What's that?

Fire.

With an oral tradition, you take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks for your help.

Tell Charlie Three Trees I said hello.

We will.

Rachel Corrigan, Jeffrey Sandor.

Mr. Sandor, pleasure to meet you.

Jeffrey, the pleasure's mine, Dr.

Corrigan.

Have we met before?

No, really, I mean, there's something very familiar about you.

People tell me that a lot. I guess I just have one of those faces.

Listen, I'm going to leave you two at it.

I'll catch you later. I'm going to go talk to Derek. Thanks, Alex.

Listen, do you mind? I'm just about finished here.

Not at all.

all the time in the world.

Something wrong, Dr. Corrigan?

No, of course not.

It's, um...

So, I understand that you and Jennifer Holybrook were very close.

Yes, we were intimate at one time.

I'm sorry.

That must not be very easy for you.

But Alex tells me that your specialty is forensic pathology.

It's my chosen field.

Right, so I'm sure you're aware that serial killers often seek out a certain

type of victim.

There's a pattern.

And in the most recent cases that we're studying, all the people were either

involved in the sentencing or the execution of Raymond Corvus.

And you think Jennifer was different?

Well, yes, she was. She had herself excused from the jury, so she doesn't

the pattern. And, you see, I think that that could provide us a clue.

I think I see where you're going, Dr. Corrigan.

But are you familiar with the theory that certain people are victims?

From the moment they're born, life singles them out.

And you think that that was true of Jennifer?

Very much so.

That's why she withdrew from the jury.

Because she was afraid of being killed.

Terrified.

But I think in a way she was also strangely attracted to him.

Attracted?

Like moth to flame.

When he looked at her, it was like a snake.

A tearing in her mouth.

She was paralyzed.

Said she could feel him inside her.

Could feel as if he was already entering her.

She told you that?

Of course she had a vivid imagination.

You're staring, Dr. Gargan.

Sorry, I... Sorry,

you were saying?

I think... between the killer and his victims, there's a bond.

See, the killer may even love his victims in a way.

And you think that this kind of attraction existed between Jennifer

and Corvus?

Well, like they say, it takes two to tango.

Do you like to dance, Rachel?

Like dance, Rachel?

The tango?

You sent down a very great insight into the state of Jennifer. mind

at the moment of her death like I said I'm a student of forensic

pathology you might say I study the art of killing

I'm sure you've heard this before

Rachel anyone ever tell you that you have very

beautiful eyes

So it all fits.

Whatever possessed Corvus must have taken over Jeffrey right after the

execution.

Oh, here we go.

Jeffrey Sandor is listed as a grad student from Stanford.

The description matches. Wait a minute. What did Jeffrey say he was studying?

Forensic pathology.

Look at his thesis.

The psychology of the serial killer. That's how he met Corvus. And us. We

invited him right in.

Then it's up to us to take him out.

Hey.

Look out for the warden.

Jeffrey Sandor interviewed Corvus regularly over the past two years as

his research.

That's how he met Jennifer, and next thing you know, they're an item.

We've got to get this guy.

Well, Halfman said her best chance of killing it is when it went in search of

its next victim.

So you're sure you're both up to this?

Yes, only way.

We'll lure his spirit away long enough for you and Nick to locate and destroy

his body. Just don't miss.

Call us as soon as you get to the legacy.

...in the Mendocino area fell into a general pattern.

After he was executed, they continued there.

He's a predator.

He hunts an area until there's no more prey in any movement.

So what's keeping him here?

Us.

He knows that we're a threat to him.

Which means he'll stay here until he stopped us.

Or we stopped him.

Where's Jeffrey?

We checked his last address. He hadn't been there since Jennifer died.

I have a better question. Where do you park a body overnight when you're not

using it?

Somewhere it won't be disturbed like... like St. Quentin.

Corvus' last address.

That's it.

Corvus' last real address.

We're not looking for Jeffrey, just his body.

Where was Corvus living when he was arrested?

According to the court record, he had an old house.

If I'm not out of town, who is the best thing?

Let's go.

An entire platoon killed in ten offenses at the name.

An unusual number of mutilations, including missing eyes.

Just like Corda.

Okay.

Okay.

Assuming it was him, where did he go?

Villagers, various states of dismemberment, many missing eyes.

That has to be it. Acts of war are almost never reported as crimes. Which

I would have missed it.

Group to room.

We don't have much time.

Derek, it's here.

Well, keep it at bay. We're very close.

We might not have much time.

Find him. We're not going to have another chance. Check the east wing.

it's all locked. I'll check the west.

Okay, I'll meet you in the library.

Thank you. I'll see you upstairs.

Nothing. Same here. Got to be somewhere.

Alex?

Nothing. Eric?

It has been one time.

Was it that Edgar Allan Poe said about the Raven?

Nevermore.

A few bruises, a little downtime in the hospital.

It's really no big deal.

You are very nearly killed.

Like I said, nearly doesn't count.

Hey, and aren't you forgetting something?

You promised me an explanation.

Oh, well, it's over. I was hoping it would be enough.

Nice try.

You know, while I was recovering, I did a little research.

Stories of unexplained events, strange disappearances, and guess which names

kept popping up on the computer.

Surprise me.

Rachel Corrigan, Alex Moreau, Nick Boyle, and Derek Rain.

You shouldn't trust computers.

Tell me about your bulletin.

Did I say something about a bulletin? Yeah.

You remember?

No. It must be your imagination playing tricks on you.

Someone

once said

that the death penalty makes victims of us all, if that's true.

Then Raymond Corvus and Jeffrey Sander were perhaps the greatest victims of

For not only were they killed,

But they were made the instruments of evil.

As someone sworn to save life, not to take them, I can only hope that somehow,

somewhere, their souls survive.
