Come forth and rejoin the living.

Make your way through the veil and back into the world.

Come forth now.

Why have you brought me back?

A simple plan for you.

Derek Ray?

In time.

There are other things to attend to first.

How do you feel?

Excellent.

Considering I've been to hell and back.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I really didn't mean to frighten you.

Who are you?

What do you want?

My name's Reed Horton. I'm an old friend of your father.

Is he here?

No.

Too bad.

I heard he was in from London. I've got something for him.

Do you work with my father?

We came up through the legacy together.

He's never mentioned your name.

I guess that's understandable.

It's been a long time since we last saw each other.

Franklin's real lucky to have such a lovely daughter.

Thanks.

Listen, he's not here.

My own little girl would be just about the same age as you.

I've not seen her in 20 years.

I'm sorry.

She was such a beautiful child.

But I never got to see her grow up.

Never got to experience the joys of fatherhood.

Listen.

I'm sorry if anything happened to your daughter.

Not to her.

To me.

Here. The very least I can do is give you a hand.

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.

Hello,

Franklin. You remember me?

As I recall, you joined the negative at the same time they signed my death

warrant.

You're dead.

Hard to keep a good man down.

How's it going? Mm -hmm. Anything new on Alex?

Well, she hasn't used the credit card since she's been gone.

No word from SFPD, and I even called Frances.

You checked the morgue?

No sign of her.

Well, that's relief.

I'm really worried about her, Nick. It's been almost a week.

Maybe she's just walked away from this, and she's sitting on that sunny strand

in St. Bart's.

In the past three days, we've learned that we share so many of the same

But I still sense a whisper of hesitancy in you and unwillingness to

commit fully to our cause.

I do believe legacy is fraught with problems, but we agree that it is run by

self -righteous individuals who no longer see clearly what is best for the

organization, yes?

So how do we effectively bring about these changes?

I have asked a friend of ours to join us. Perhaps he can shed some light on

questions.

Franklin Roth?

You're a part of this?

Alex.

As the head of Legacy Internal Affairs, I've known for some time that there's

been a cancer growing inside this organization and that it would need a

group of people to cut it out.

I was hoping that I could count on you to join us.

Can I say no?

Do you have any luck locating any of your old contacts?

Mm -mm.

However, late last night when I was going through the database, I did come

across a very interesting article about Derek when he was a professor at the

university. Ooh, I bet that's a real page -turner. What is it, a gripping

account of one of his class's field trips to zoom old bones?

Yeah. Well, actually, I think you might find this interesting.

Why didn't you ever tell me that Derek was suspected of murder?

Because it's the first I ever heard of it.

What's the bottom line on this story?

This archaeology professor, Reed Horton, was shot and killed.

One bullet through the heart. Derek was the primary suspect until he was

released. Hmm.

She's never mentioned it.

Well, I guess it's not the kind of information you share at cocktail

Yeah. You got anything else in the story?

Mm -mm.

I was tempted to do a bit of digging, but I didn't want to violate his

Go for it. I might spice up our next cocktail party.

Somebody looks busy.

Well, well, well, well. We can call off the APB. She's alive.

Where you been?

Need a little time off.

Well, you ever heard of a telephone, Miss Moreau? You were all worried sick.

Well, I guess not too worried.

Looks like business as usual to me.

Unfortunately, when we're short -handed, it means that the workload increases.

Hope you escape to someplace exciting.

I said Mexico, but Nick said, nah, Bahamas.

Yeah, this wasn't a vacation.

It was more like a sabbatical. I needed to clear my head, think about the

future.

So what brought on this sudden urge to reflect?

It's been building up for some time.

You must wonder if what we do here actually makes a difference.

Alex.

You're back.

We were going crazy trying to find you.

Well, thanks for your concern. I appreciate you guys worrying about me.

So, where have you been?

She's been off pondering life.

Alex is questioning whether the work we do here is worthwhile.

What do you think?

Actually, I think we do a lot of good.

Plus, we get those great legacy benefits.

Sure.

Like free travel to exotic and glamorous places, you know.

Snake -infested tombs and haunted catacombs.

Oh, and don't forget the interesting men we get to meet.

Even if they're dead?

Oh, well, I almost forgot about the wonderful Ferg. Not to mention the

opportunity to work with our esteemed leader.

Speaking of Derek... Um, have either of you guys seen this?

Derek was a suspect in a murder investigation?

Yeah, in Boston.

Where'd you get this?

In the archives of the Herald. I was trying to track you down, looking for

contacts, and I stumbled across this.

Did he ever mention this to you?

Not a word.

It's our esteemed leader, a suspected murderer.

Well, actually, the Boston police only called him in for questioning. He was

never really charged.

Of course he was.

I'm sure he had.

The best lawyer's the legacy goodbye.

What is that supposed to mean?

Well, I'd like to believe Derek was innocent.

We all would, but let's face it, in the eyes of the legacy, it wouldn't matter

if Derek gunned someone down in cold blood.

Listen, he is a valuable commodity, and the legacy protects their own.

At any cost.

Hey, Derek.

Hey. Did the police get any new leads on that grave robbery?

No, it was a very professional job.

That's such a thing as a professional grave robber.

Well, I hear you can find anything in the Yellow Pages.

But the question is, why would someone want the body of Samuel Rosen?

He was a shoemaker.

You've got to be missing something here.

Well, keep digging.

Oh, Jonathan told me Alex is back.

Yeah, she just got in.

Did she tell you where she's been?

No, she was kind of tight -lipped about it, but maybe you can get something out

of it.

But you're implying he could be a cold -blooded killer.

Alex.

It's good to have you back.

Oh, thank you.

So, who could be a cold -blooded killer?

Well, someone's been checking into my past.

I came across it when we were trying to track Alex down.

Derek, why didn't you ever mention it?

Because there was nothing to talk about.

So you weren't intentionally hiding it?

Why would I?

So with the real story with Horton, nobody can be as clean as these

articles make them out to be.

Well, it's because Legacy wide -washed his past.

He was one of our best agents until he was co -opted by the dark side.

I assume you recruited him when you worked together at the university.

Reed was a natural -born leader and quickly became an integral member of the

organization.

He was one of those people who could...

Light up a room.

And when the situation called for action, he proved to be a superior field

marshal. And he became a mole for the dark side?

Worse. He became an assassin.

His first victim was the preceptor of the Philadelphia House.

We all thought it was a mugging gone awry. And it was Laura Cahill, a woman

stationed in the York House for less than a year. Same MO, one shot to the

heart.

Six others were killed before Horton was finally stopped.

So what was your part in all this?

Well, he was a trusted colleague and close friend.

I eventually discovered it was all a lie.

So it fell to me to deal with him.

Deal with him?

Yeah, there was a joint investigation by Arthur Middleton of San Francisco

and... Jane Witherspoon in Boston. I leaked information to Reid that Jane had

come across evidence as to the identity of the assassin.

Then I went to Boston and waited to see if he took the bait.

I was outside the Boston house and watched as Horton arrived and stalked

Witherspoon.

He pulled out a gun.

I surprised him and told him to drop his weapon and he refused.

Reid!

In that moment, I saw the madness in his eyes and the hatred that had grown in

him.

Suddenly, he fired at me.

I had no choice but to

shoot back.

So you called it self -defense.

The article said that you had nothing to do with his death.

I was never charged.

But the truth is, I killed Reed Horton.

He was your close friend, and you had to shoot him?

He left me no options.

Are you certain that he was the assassin?

I mean, isn't it possible that he could have been waiting for the real killer as

well?

I wish they were true.

There's no question in my mind that Reid had turned.

So basically when the police brought you in, you lied.

What else could I do? I couldn't compromise the legacy.

Besides, Reid was our problem and we had to deal with it.

I think his point's made, Alex.

No, his point is that the legacy gives us license to kill someone, whether or

not that person is guilty.

And on top of it, we're made to feel that it's the right thing to do.

What is this?

Some sort of mock trial?

Why do you suddenly feel the need to question my actions from 20 years ago?

Because maybe it's time that your actions from 20 years ago were held up

light.

I don't see how both Derek and his lawyer could have looked the police

in the eye and lied.

I'm not sure the situation called for a certain amount of discretion.

Well, there's discretion and then there's obstruction of justice.

Can't get enough of the story, huh?

Well, I did some more digging into Reed Horton's background.

And? And he just doesn't fit the profile of a killer.

What, because he married a cheerleader and had a cute kid?

And because he's a well -respected professor and held him very high esteem

within the legacy.

Okay, so he's certainly acceptable, but then so is Ted Bundy. Just because he

was well -liked doesn't mean he wasn't susceptible to being turned.

However, if things in his life were going so well, then it would be much

difficult for them to bring him under their influence.

Okay, there's something else.

I had to dig through layers of security codes, but I found an internal memo from

Horton to Jane Witherspoon dated two days before he was killed.

Horton said he wanted to meet with Jane because he knew who the real killer was.

Well, that would explain what he was doing in Boston, but it's a totally

different story than the one Derek told us.

Yeah, but I mean, Horton could have sent the memo just to cover his trip to

Boston. Yeah, but what if Horton was telling the truth and would stop before

could reveal the assassin's identity?

You mean shot by the real killer?

Do you know what you're saying?

Yeah, I do.

Rachel, what's wrong?

Have you seen this?

Where did you get this?

Alex uncovered it.

Are you familiar with it?

I've never seen this, but it's relevant.

Rachel, why are you dredging this up?

I told you before, it's ancient history. I know, but maybe that history needs to

be corrected.

So what are you saying?

The legacy was wrong about Horton?

That I killed an innocent man?

I hope not.

Well, then why in God's name are you taking it upon yourselves to reopen this

case? Derek, there have been some very serious questions raised here. Questions

about my guilt or about my integrity?

You yourself have always told us that we must seek the truth, regardless of the

consequences. So my word no longer equates to the truth? That is not what I

saying. That's exactly what you're saying.

Do the others share this opinion?

Derek, look, I am not going to speak for them, but you should know. Kristen is

on a plane right now. She's going to Boston.

She's going to speak to Jane Witherspoon in person.

Oh, that's how it is now? My friend's running behind my back trying to crucify

me? Or desperately trying to corroborate your story.

Derek, we want to believe you.

Do you really?

Jane, I came to Boston because I need information.

What can you tell me about Reed Horton?

One of our brightest stars, or so we thought.

He became one of the most insidious agents the dark side has ever developed.

You're certain of that?

It was a long time ago, but people like Reed Horton are not easy to forget.

Why has his name come up after all these years?

Well, the case has aroused some serious debate.

About Derek's actions?

Kristen, I have known Derek for more years than I care to admit, and I trust

him. Whatever he did was done out of necessity.

Well, I've always trusted him as well.

But recently we found this.

I never felt it.

If this is genuine, it certainly throws a very different light on this case.

You know, I'm not really crazy about digging through Derek's background.

What makes him suspicious?

Well, if you have to ask, I guess there's nothing I can say.

Yes, Jonathan?

Oh, yes, we're expecting him. Will you send him up to the library, please?

Thank you.

I'm sure all this will resolve itself and things will soon be back to normal.

Are things here ever normal?

Oh,

Rachel, I'd like you to meet... Franklin Cross.

Hello, Derek.

It's been a long time.

Um, Cairo.

Nine years ago.

You always did have a head for dates and places.

Franklin's in charge of legacy internal affairs.

I see.

And what brings you here?

I was handling a situation at the Vancouver house. I got a call from

Evidently, there are some questions regarding the Horton case they want

up.

So you're here to investigate me? I wouldn't be overly concerned.

I'm well -versed in that case. I think London's overreacting.

But someone called the ruling council because they think...

The case bears reopening.

Yes, and of course that person's identity will have to remain

There's no need for that.

Derek, it was me.

I owe you an apology for calling the London house without talking to you

it first.

It's your prerogative.

As a matter of fact, it's your responsibility if you have reason to

there's a problem within our house, which you obviously do.

It's not just our house. I think the entire organization has problems.

Would this have something to do with your week off?

Well, I spent the time contemplating my life in the legacy.

I know I had some great years here, but I've just come to realize that I've been

blindly following orders and tradition for too long.

And you think our traditions should be questioned?

Absolutely. I think we've all gotten out of touch with reality. We just go along

day by day doing the organization's bidding without any regard...

as to whether it's the right thing to do.

You're not referring to the situation with Reed Horton, are you?

Because if you are, you are wrong.

He was an agent for the doctor.

Reed.

That's what you keep saying.

But face it, Derek.

You killed a man in typical legacy fashion. Shoot first, ask questions

Or better yet, don't even ask the questions, because you may not like the

answers you get.

There you are.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

No, it's just two old friends and an afternoon walk.

Alex, if you'll excuse us, Derek and I have some business to discuss.

Yeah, no problem.

I hope we can pick this up later.

She was troubled.

She is.

She's questioning her place within the organization.

It happens to us all at some point.

It'd be a shame to lose her.

I fear we already have.

I, um, looked at all the information.

And I haven't found anything new that would give us cause for concern.

So your investigation is over?

Almost.

I'm going into the city to pay a visit to Arthur Middleton.

Oh. He's back from Hong Kong?

Yes, he just got in a few days ago.

I think he'd set the money up. You only need to clean it.

Good. I have total faith in Arthur.

He knew exactly what Horton was up to.

Well, rectify the situation, and you can put your house back in order.

I sincerely hope you're right.

So, how's your treasure hunt coming?

Have you come across anything that would give you reason to question our

original findings?

Not yet.

But I still have one more box to go through.

You won't find anything there, either. It was a very thorough investigation.

Yeah.

This doesn't make any sense.

What is it?

It's a report from Horton about an assignment he was on in Rome.

But the dates coincide with the death of Laura Cahill in New York.

Yes.

Horton flew to New York, killed her, and then flew back to Rome.

We have verified travel logs and eyewitness accounts.

Who authenticated the accounts?

Derek.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone double -check his report?

We saw no reason to.

So it is possible that Horton never left Rome at all.

Kristen, you're playing a dangerous game.

According to this report, Horton was debriefing a priest on a number of

sightings in the Vatican.

Do you have any idea where we can reach that priest?

He died shortly after Horton interviewed him.

Convenient. For Horton.

Or Derek.

There have been questions about the Horton case and Derek's involvement in

Well, as his supervisor, I approved every move Derek made.

His actions were not only exemplary, they were heroic.

We came across a memo from Horton to Jane Witherspoon in which he states he

information regarding the identity of the Dark Side assassin.

Are you making the presumption that Derek was the assassin and that he

Horton to protect his identity?

It's possible, Arthur.

It's ridiculous!

Once Derek started digging into Horton's past, it broke his heart to find that

this man, this man he revered, was a traitor and a killer.

But if Derek was guilty, then playing the role of the concerned best friend

would have been a perfect cover.

Oh, spoken like a true chief investigator.

Trust no one.

Always assume a person is guilty until proven innocent.

So you have no doubts.

As to Derek's innocence?

None whatsoever.

Well, that's good enough for me, Arthur.

Thank you.

And thank you for validating Derek's actions in this case.

Oh, Ross has you digging up information in foreign languages, huh?

He's very thorough.

I don't feel good about doing this, you know.

Well, is he asking you to do anything illegal or unethical?

No. No, but I just can't help but have the feeling that we're trying to build a

case that isn't there.

Oh, the other way to look at it is once you have collected every piece of

information, the facts will speak for themselves.

You're doing me a favor.

Hello?

Yeah, he's standing right here. Hold on, I'll put you in the box.

Kristen. Kristen?

Derek? I found some inconsistencies in some of your reports regarding Horton's

whereabouts. What kind of inconsistencies?

Well, I'm going to transmit them to you right now so you can see for yourself.

In the meantime, I'll call up my files so we can compare information.

We've got some kind of a problem here.

Yeah, there's a problem on my end, too.

Nick, somebody's attacking my hard drive.

Yeah, I see it in our systems. You shut down your computer.

I can't. It's like it's got a mind of its own.

Oh, no.

50 emergency system override.

Now!

Nick!

You okay?

Yeah.

What happened there?

Show me your true form.

I can't bear to look upon the face of someone I despise so much.

I don't blame you.

I assume you disposed of Cropper's body?

It'll never be found.

Tell me how things are progressing at the house.

The evidence against Derek is mounting very nicely.

And the seeds of doubt have been firmly planted.

amongst his formerly loyal staff.

How long will that take?

Well, I think it must play it out efficiently.

Allow Alex and the others to be fucked in as they make their own discoveries

about their precious Mr. Raine.

Very well.

Tell me about your meeting with Arthur Middleton.

Arthur Middleton.

Arthur stood by Derek 100%. Pity.

If a man of such stature in the Legacy were to speak out against Derek, it

seal Derek's fate.

Do you think you could arrange that?

Yes, I can.

But I may need your help.

I've read all the reports from Boston and they just don't add up. The evidence

proves that Horton wasn't in the cities where three of the murders were

committed.

Do you think it's possible that Derek and everyone else at the Legacy was

about him?

Definitely not.

Now, many questions have been raised about me in the past few days.

But I can assure you, Horton was guilty.

Yes, but these documents clearly show that he couldn't have murdered everyone

was accused of.

Well, then the documents are wrong.

Well, what about these letters from the people he met in Mexico?

The evidence keeps mounting and mounting, coming out of nowhere.

Isn't it obvious to you that I'm being set up? By who? And why?

That's what I intend to find out.

Derek, we're trying to believe you.

It's not difficult.

It's a simple matter of trust.

Well, I wish it were that simple. Only the evidence weren't so damaging.

Clearly somebody didn't want this evidence used.

Ah, this whole situation with Derek has us all upset.

You're aware Arthur was not only Derek's mentor, but also his control in the

Horton case, which I think you'll agree gives him a very unique perspective on

what happened.

Well, yeah, absolutely.

Arthur, would you be so kind as to tell them what you told me?

Yes. Our suspicion of Reed Horton began as a result of a situation at the

Amsterdam house.

And after that, we began to monitor Horton's movements.

Derek led that investigation, and he turned up some very damaging evidence.

We were convinced that Reed Horton had defected to the other side.

So you were convinced that Horton was guilty?

Well, Derek was convinced, and that was good enough for us.

After all, what reason could there be for him to brand his best friend a

traitor? Unless he wanted to take the heat off of himself and put it on

else.

That's not the case here, is it?

Let me be blunt.

Derek found the assassin in our midst. He took him out.

The killing stopped and we went on with our business. There was no reason to

doubt that justice had been served.

But the fact is that we were never positive that Reed Horton was in

league with the dark side.

What are you saying?

Well, that there's a possibility Horton may be innocent and that he may have

been on to the truth.

And as a result, he was made the victim.

in an elaborate frame.

And the only person who could have benefited from that frame was the actual

killer, Derek Ray.

Is that right?

I haven't wanted to face that possibility for 20 years, but yes.

It is very conceivable, especially given the new evidence, that Derek not

only killed an innocent man, but was the assassin all along.

You all right?

You tell me.

Arthur Middleton, sir.

Oh, perfect.

He's just in time to corroborate the evidence abroad.

I wouldn't count on that.

And why's that?

Well, his story doesn't exactly jive with yours.

So they've gotten to Arthur as well?

At this point, I don't know who's gotten to who.

I think I can clear up your confusion.

Arthur, you look well.

Oh, I'm managing.

I just wish I were here under more pleasant circumstances.

Well, there's no reason for this to be anything other than a celebration of the

truth. That's what we're all seeking.

I'll cut right to it, Derek.

The evidence against you is very compelling.

I would be disappointed if it was anything less.

Well, after evaluating the material and speaking to Arthur...

I've come to the conclusion that you're responsible for the murder of eight

legacy members.

And that when Horton stumbled onto that fact, you set him up and killed him.

And you concur with this?

Oh, I make no accusation.

But I do have to admit that Cross's scenario is possible, even plausible.

It is true, Derek.

Now's the time to tell us.

Well, it appears to me that nothing I say will convince you of the truth.

I always knew that the situation with Horton could have repercussions down the

line, so I protected myself.

I kept a set of documents in a secure place in the house here.

But today I discovered it wasn't as secure as I thought it was.

The documents had been stolen.

And do you think someone in this house stole them? Oh, yeah.

I'm convinced of it. So the only thing that could prove your innocence is

suddenly missing.

I didn't say it was the only thing.

I also kept a file in a safety deposit box in San Francisco.

Fortunately, it hadn't been tampered with.

In it, you'll find all the original memos and reports that will prove that

Horton was indeed the murderer.

So if we can authenticate this, then it proves what Derek said.

And just how do we authenticate this? We only have Derek's word that it's real.

Oh, I admire your resourcefulness.

But the evidence that damns you is from the legacy files, a highly protected

database. The evidence that supposedly proves your innocence is from some

mystery safe deposit box.

Plus, the former preceptor of this house, the man who led the

admitted that you may be culpable.

It's over, Derek.

It seems like Cross is right. You need more tangible evidence.

Derek, you're my friend. You're my mentor. But in spite of all that, I am

sickened by what I believe to be the truth.

And you think I'm capable of such treachery?

Yes.

By the authority of the ruling council, I'm forced to detain you.

Keep your hands off me!

Derek!

You still think he's not in league with the dark side?

Derek, don't do this.

Derek!

I cannot explain this.

It must be stopped.

Stay here.

It's dangerous.

I'm going with you. This is my responsibility.

He's my friend. I want to know what's going on with him.

Hello.

Hello, Franklin.

Why have you done that?

It's my job.

And my pleasure.

Reed Horton.

So your associates of the dark side brought you back.

I must admit, it's very nice having friends in low places.

How did you get Arthur to go along with you?

It's much easier than you could possibly imagine.

So you planted the evidence here and in Boston?

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you really put your mind to it.

If

you

kill me, there will be an investigation.

That's why you're going to take your own life.

When I got there, Derek was at the top of the cliff, right at the edge.

I tried to talk him back, of course, but he wouldn't listen.

He just kept on going on about it.

How he couldn't live with the guilt any longer.

You really think they believe that?

I can be very persuasive when I want to be.

Since I had no idea there would be in this fortuitous location, I brought

your weapon of choice.

Who's daring?

Your gun that you used to kill me 20 years ago.

One through the heart.

I love the symmetry.

Don't you?

Now, you can either choose to jump or force me to shoot you.

The very least that I can do for an old friend is give you the option.

Well, I have to admit, I don't find either choice very attractive.

Well, then, in that case, I guess I get to choose.

taken 20 years, Derek, but it was well worth the wait.
