Rain's gone.

Are you certain he's dead?

Oh, absolutely.

And his death will cause turmoil within the entire organization. But then, of

course, Franklin Croft can step in and fill the vacuum.

Don't forget why you were there.

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.

It's all my fault, isn't it? Alex, don't talk like that.

No, I'm... I'm the one who brought Cross in.

I'm the one who pushed Derek to the edge.

Alex, for Cross, that is true.

Derek got himself in this jam.

It's not your fault.

How could you do this, Derek?

How could you nurture me all these years?

Encourage me to be my best?

Teach me right from wrong?

And be living this double life?

I hope you find peace.

Oh, this will do quite nicely.

Especially considering you'll tend to.

I just got off the phone from Detective Escalante.

They still haven't found the body yet.

Yeah, well, I'm not sure we should... even hope to find the

body. By now, the tide's probably carried him miles from here.

Yeah, I think that we pretty much have to give up hope that he has survived.

I just can't imagine this place without Derek.

Yeah, I can't picture him taking his own life.

No, he was the last person I would have thought would have committed suicide.

Well, the fact that he killed himself has to be seen as a demission of his

guilt.

In honour...

You're like rain.

How are you holding up?

Oh, I feel pretty awful.

I can't believe Derek's gone.

Perhaps it's for the best.

How can you say that?

Because he was living his life as a lie.

And obviously it was a tremendous burden on his conscience.

Look, I know how close the two of you were.

But he's at peace and his death has paved the way to make the proper changes

within the legacy.

The first step is to find out which of your associates we can work with.

What's that supposed to mean?

We're going to need a loyal and dedicated team to transform the San

house. And then after that, we can work on the other houses one by one.

Well, I think everyone here will welcome the changes that we've been talking

about. I hope so.

By the way, is Nick proficient with computers?

Yeah, why?

I was just thinking what an asset he is. Well, don't underestimate Rachel and

Kristen.

I don't underestimate any of you.

You've got an incredible teammate.

Yeah, well, I always thought that we'd all be together for years.

Sometimes change comes when you least expect it.

Don't worry, it'll all work out in the end.

I got off the phone with Peter Wallace in London. He's asked if I could stand

as interim preceptor of this house.

Don't you already have a job?

Yes, but there are so many loose ends here. It was thought best if I stay on

a while.

I won't give Peter my answer until I know I have your support.

Talking about Derek's replacement.

That makes me feel strange.

Well, I understand.

But we can make it work.

Only if you want it to.

After all, this is your house, not mine.

Chris, can I count on you?

Actually, I was thinking of going back to Boston.

Well, I don't blame you, but London's asked if you could stay on for a while.

Help effect a smooth transition.

Well, then I'll do whatever's necessary to help.

To be perfectly honest, I have a little bit of a problem.

We haven't even found Derek's body yet, and you're already taking measurements

on his office.

I understand your reaction.

But let's face it.

Somebody has to step in and fill the void.

Put this house back on track.

I was unaware that we had derailed.

Everything is coming together marvelously.

Wallace offered me the job.

As we knew he would.

Franklin Cross was the logical choice.

I hope our friends of the house are coming to grips with Derek's infamy. The

guest appearance of Arthur Middleton certainly did the trick.

It is very conceivable that Derek not only killed an innocent man...

But it was the assassin all along.

You were very convincing.

Child's play.

I'm assuming now that Derek is out of the way, you will be able to deliver a

result quickly.

Well, I'm afraid we have a few problems.

Nick Boyle, for one.

If he's a problem, deal with him.

How's my Alex doing?

Her acceptance of Derek's guilt is helping to win the others over.

We waited a long time to find someone who would give us the advantage we

in the San Francisco house, so let's use her to the fullest before we have to

discard her.

You sure that'll be necessary?

Right now.

Alex thinks she's doing something noble for the legacy.

Once she finds out our true intentions, she'll become our worst enemy, and

she'll have to be terminated.

Do you have any idea how to rig this up to an IV drip?

What were you up to last night?

I stopped looking at the clock around three.

But the good news is that we are fully functional again. We lost a few thousand

files.

But as luck would have it... Let me guess.

We lost all the files regarding Reed Horton.

Somebody give that woman a prize.

Does anybody know anything about this?

Yeah. That's why their favorite mementos took it off Warlock.

Five years back.

Where did you find it?

It was stuck in my headboard this morning when I woke up.

What is this?

Some kind of primitive initiation right you have here.

Oh, you think I did it?

Who else would have put it there?

Maybe Derek's ghost is a little bit restless and he wanted to tell you

like, don't sleep in my bed.

Thank you for your very recent analysis, Mr. Boyle.

You'll find that I run things a little differently than Derek.

First off, I know you all work on several cases simultaneously.

So I'm going to start the practice of getting together at 8 every morning to

review the status of each case so that we're all up to speed.

I have a bit of a problem with that.

Oh, I'm sorry, Rachel.

Between your daughter and your practice, you have other obligations.

Right. Well, we'll keep you in the loop with email or memo.

Email and memo? You don't think this is getting a little bit Big Brother -ish? I

know it sounds very structured, but it'll actually give you more freedom.

And it will allow me to keep tabs on what's going on without having to look

your shoulder all the time.

Well, that's good, because I get very uncomfortable when people are looking

my shoulder all the time.

Understood.

All right.

Let's all meet in the control room in one hour.

Got it?

The blood of the innocent victims.

All right, let's get started, shall we?

Nick, I would like you to spearhead the investigation into Derek.

You know, I spent my fair share of time questioning Derek's motives, but I never

saw him do anything contrary to the principles of the legacy.

Well, that's what makes your job all the more important, Mr. Boyle.

And I'm sure you'll perform it to the best of your ability.

Kristen, I'd also like you to do a similar probe into your former house.

You want me to investigate Jane Witherspoon?

Not Jane per se, but as part of a Horton investigation, we found that both

houses were guilty of disseminating false information, and I want them both

scrutinized. I was at the Boston house for three years. I find it really hard

believe anything underhanded could be going on there.

Well, we all thought that about this house, didn't we?

Listen, um...

Isn't this a job for the chief investigator's office?

Well, I'll be wearing two hats for the time being.

I've downloaded all of the Boston files onto our main thing.

Does Jane know about this?

No. And no one here is at liberty to discuss this investigation with her. Is

that clear?

Well, one thing is clear, and that is I'm not participating in this witch

Chris, hands off.

Don't you touch me. Hey!

Bring it on.

Okay, okay. We all need to cool down a little bit.

Nick can get very worked up sometimes, okay?

Not off to a very good start, am I?

He's not helping.

Hello, Nick.

I'm not a ghost.

I know this must be a bit of a shock.

That's the understatement of the decade.

You need to know that the man posing as Franklin Cross is actually

Reed Horton.

So he isn't dead either?

The dark side obviously brought them back to be part of their plot to

our house.

Dark side called them up from hell?

What, did they run a farm team down there? How do you know this?

Well, when Cross came to the house, I suspected things weren't as they

I couldn't figure out why he was so intent on pinning the murders on me.

So I forked his hand.

By dazing your own death?

I set everything up beforehand.

Like loading my own gun with blanks and waiting for high tide so when I...

Went up the cliffs.

I wouldn't smash into the rocks below.

How is faking your suicide supposed to help?

It wasn't a suicide.

Horton shot me.

Pardon me for having a bit of a problem with all of this, but how do I know that

Cross isn't who he says he is and you didn't make a deal with the dark side?

You don't.

But if you doubt me, you better shoot me now, because with or without you, I'm

going after Horton.

I'll see what I can dig up.

I gather that you're the guy responsible for the knife.

Did you appreciate it?

No, but I did.

So how have you been getting in and out of here without tripping any of the

alarms? Oh, there are more hidden passageways in this house than you could

imagine.

You've got to be kidding me.

You've heard something new every day.

Talk to you tomorrow.

So, not off to a very rousing start as a preacher.

It's important to see how they would react.

It appears there are some personal issues to deal with.

You mean Nick?

Oh, I'm afraid he's beyond to hope.

No, I was referring to Kristen.

Do you think she can be brought around to our way of thinking?

Well, it's possible. She's very bright, but very sensitive.

Well, if you feel she's worth it, I think we can win her back.

Well, not if you ask her to look for dirt on Jane Witherspoon.

What is the purpose of digging into the Boston house?

It's an opportunity we cannot pass up.

Where did you come from?

Alice, the Boston house is in turmoil as a result of the revelations about

Derek. Now is the time for us to make our move and instigate a reorganization.

I feel certain that we can end up with a membership much more sympathetic to our

cause. Well, can we do it without attacking Jane?

Unfortunately, when you want to bring about change, people who refuse to bend

find themselves, well, broken.

It'll all work out, Alex.

Remember, our goal is a new beginning for the legacy.

Have faith, Alex.

My itinerary is inaccessible without prior approved clearance.

I took a correspondence course in computer hacking.

Well, did you find out anything interesting?

Any anomalies, incongruities, discrepancies?

No, not yet.

Just what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

Oh, I'm just trying to learn all I can about my new boss.

When are you going to get a grip on reality, Nick?

Derek betrayed you. He betrayed all of us.

Now, we have a job to do here. Your energy would be better spent finding out

and where to combat evil.

Yeah, you never know where evil's going to turn out, do you?

You know, you've had a chip on your shoulder ever since I got here.

You might be better off transferring to another house.

The last time I actually looked around, this was my house.

Not anymore.

I want you out.

What, you think you can just kick me out? Just like that?

That's the beauty of being preset.

I can.

Now get your gear and get out.

Hey, hey, hey.

What's going on here, Nick?

Nick's just leaving.

What just happened here?

Mr. Boyle and myself.

Didn't see eye to eye on how he should be spending his time.

We started out talking, and he attacked me.

Without provocation?

Look, he's very hot -headed.

I'm sorry.

I know he's your friend, but it's just not going to work out for him here.

Not going to work out for him here? What are you trying to say?

I've told him he's no longer welcome.

What, so you just fired him? No, I'm not going to... I'm sorry.

This is not negotiable.

No. Kristen and Rachel?

They may work out.

Well, I sure hope so, because I'm beginning to feel very lonely around

It's Dad Rain.

Arthur?

And either of you have seen Nick?

Yeah.

He's gone.

Gone where?

I don't know. He's just, he's gone for good.

How do you know?

Me and Franklin got into it a little while ago and he asked me to leave.

Can he do that?

Well, he is the precept.

Excuse me.

Can you explain something?

Understand you and Nick butted heads and what, you forced him to leave?

My short relationship with Nick Boyle far surpassed what you would categorize

head -butting.

He had a severe problem dealing with my authority.

Nick is stubborn, but that doesn't sound like him.

Well, I'm not saying one day we might welcome him back into the fold.

But for right now, Nick is no longer a member of the legacy.

This is crazy.

First Derek, and now Nick.

What is going on?

The legacies needed are good shaking up for years.

We have the ability to transform this house into something wonderful.

And if we're lucky, use the lesson we've learned to rejuvenate the whole

organization.

What he's saying does make sense.

Doing research on an old case?

Never seems to end.

I just wanted to personally let you know how sorry I am it didn't work out for

Nick.

So am I.

The group that I've depended on from my friends who've been supporters quickly

falling apart at the seams.

Well, I'm sure if we all pull together, we can get back to the tight -knit team

you were before.

I think you expect too much.

Are you familiar with the story of Procruste's bed?

Greek mythology.

Procruste's invited travelers to spend the night and then chain them to the

And he wanted everyone to fit that bed exactly. So if they were too short, he

stretched them too long and he chopped off their legs.

So your point is that I shouldn't make you all try to conform to my rigid point

of view. I would say that is a fair interpretation.

Didn't Theseus chain Procrustes to his own bed and chop off his head?

And if I'm not mistaken, Theseus was an early member of the legacy.

So you figure Arthur got attacked in this room?

Yes, brutally attacked.

Did you get any kind of a flash on who it might have been?

No. I only felt and saw Arthur's painting.

What are you looking for?

Well, I figured legacy albums are all wired for sight and sound. There's no

reason why Arthur might have done it to his.

I'm not mistaken.

There's a little camera right here.

Oh, excellent.

I hope that he activated before he was attacked.

If you've got the toys, you're probably going to play with them, right?

There's got to be some sort of receptor or something around that thing.

It's a pretty cool setup. We should get one of these for the house.

Yeah.

If Horton killed Arthur four days ago, then who was at the house?

An accomplice.

Stop it there.

Looks like he's having a hard time keeping it together.

Yeah. We may have found his Achilles heel.

So he's some kind of mass of spectral power.

Looks like when he expends energy, it weakens him.

We may need to test him.

See how much he can take if we really push him.

I think I'd enjoy doing that.

I thought you were gone, Mr. Boyle.

Neat trick.

Can I teach you that on the other side?

What are you doing here?

We just had a little bit of unfinished business.

I told you, I'm not somebody you want to provoke.

No, I'm a slow learner.

Let's have some privacy, shall we?

Whatever turns you on.

Don't force me to kill you, Nick.

Alex would be so disappointed.

And for whatever reason, she's really fond of you.

Isn't this the part where before you kill me, you confess to everything?

Like who you really are?

Are you murdered, Arthur Middleton?

Oh.

I underestimated you.

You wouldn't be the first.

I'm going to have to disappoint Alex after all. You figure?

You're looking a little pale, Cross.

Franklin! What's going on in there?

Franklin, open the door!

Should I let her in?

Should I let her know how crazy you've become? How you're actually trying to

murder a legacy precept?

Yeah. Yeah, let her in.

So she can see the real you.

Alex, come here. Come here. Listen, listen.

I can't get the door open. It's locked.

Mary?

So what did you do with the real cross?

You won't live long enough to find out.

What just happened?

Your friend was insane.

He tried to kill me. Why would he try to kill you?

Well, he snuck in here and started ranting on about how I was trying to

him and Derek.

And then he lunged at me.

What's going to happen to him?

Well, he's far too dangerous for us to deal with.

We'll have to call London and let them handle the situation.

I just hope there aren't any more surprises laying in wait for us in this

My God, are you all right?

I've been better.

Had a little electroshock therapy from our boy.

Did it weaken him?

I don't know, but when I stuck him with the K -bar, it really got him going.

Didn't draw any blood, but he was flickering like a TV set.

Excellent. And what about you?

Well, I just spoke to a friend at the police department.

Seems when they're directing the baby from my body, they pulled out the

of someone else.

From what they told me, it could be Cross.

They're going to do a DNA match.

Well, they couldn't make a positive ID?

No. Thought he was badly mauled by sharks or who knows what.

Maybe he's going to lay off the charter at Fisherman's Wharf for a while.

So you think we have enough to convince the others?

Well, once they see this videotape of Middleton's death, they'll have to

And how are we going to deal with Horton?

Yeah.

I thought that these might do the trick.

You want us to go in there and shoot him?

Mm -hmm.

You know, Derek, maybe that little fall off the cliff rang your bell a little

bit more than you thought. You see Buddy back at the house? He's a spirit. He's

not flesh from Biden. Last time that I checked, bullets don't do much damage to

ectoplasm. I know.

But these aren't ordinary bullets.

I loaded him with a pinch of Horton's remains.

You didn't dig him up?

No, no, no.

Fortunately, he was cremated.

Let's just borrow a few of his ashes.

I'm hoping that a combination of physical force and metaphysical contact

his former corporate self will do the trick.

Well, I hope so, too. I mean, it'd be nice if this time when you killed me,

stayed dead.

Yeah.

London wants a detailed report on what transpired with Nick.

How are they planning on handling it?

Well, they put all the houses on full alert, and they're calling in a team of

specialists to help contain the situation.

Don't you think that's a little bit of overkill?

Well, normally I'd agree with you, but...

Nick's a special case.

He's a trained killer.

And worst of all, he's gone over the edge.

See, there you go.

Talking behind my back again.

I can't believe you come back here.

I missed the plate.

Alex, call security.

I want Mr. Boyle taken into custody.

I heard you called an entire team in to contain me.

I'm flattered.

Nick, why did you come back?

Because this time I brought a friend.

Rain?

Franklin said you committed suicide.

He lied.

All lies, Alex.

No, don't listen to him.

I saw him die with my own eyes.

He's done a deal with the dark side.

And they've allowed him to come back.

Nothing quite so dramatic.

The bullet you shot me with was a blank.

This isn't Cross.

It's Reed Horton.

Horton?

That doesn't make any sense.

This is the way, Kirsten, it gets better.

I have a tape of this man murdering Arthur Middleton the day before he came

see you all.

This is exactly... He's

erased it.

Your prophetic attempts to discredit me are getting more desperate by the

minute. But you and I know the truth.

You killed Arthur just like you killed Cross.

The police pulled Cross's body out of the bay this morning.

This is preposterous.

I got sloppy weed.

Admit it.

You never were as clever as you thought you were.

You made mistakes 20 years ago.

And you're still making them today.

You made the mistake coming back here.

Both of you.

I don't think so.

Derek, no.

Since it's come down to this, has it?

You're going to kill me for the second time.

Oh, my God.

I don't believe this.

They used you, Alex.

And when they were done with you, they would have killed you.

Don't listen to him, Alex.

No, you're the one who deserves to die.

You sick, twisted creature.

Since you had a taste for power, you thought you were God. You thought you

murder me and get away with it. You were the one who turned to the other side,

not me.

I've seen your father over there, rotting in hell.

He's saving your place, my friend, right by his side.

Next time you see him, Tell him I say hello.

Tell him yourself.

No!

Alex! Alex!

You can't dispatch me that

easily.

We still have a score to settle.

This is where I knit her own cloth.

Are you certain this is the same place?

Yeah.

I'm positive.

Well, I don't get it. It looks like no one's been here for years.

We have to find her, Derek. She was the one behind all this.

I have a feeling she'll find us.

I wouldn't be surprised if she or Horton will make another attempt on the house.

I'm so sorry about all this, Derek.

There's no need to be sorry.

You

think?

The place was empty.

I spoke to the San Francisco police on the way back. They confirmed that the

body they found was Cross.

I am so sorry, Derek. I just... I am sorry I didn't believe you.

Or you, Nick. It's... The facts were pretty persuasive.

Horton played all of us.

Well, Horton was always a very powerful and very seductive person.

I don't blame anyone for falling under his spell.

Let's just forget about it, put it behind us, and learn from it.

Yeah, I don't know how easy it's going to be to just put it behind us.

Yeah, I know. I'm struggling with some pretty intense negative emotions.

So am I.

Well, it's been a long night, so I think we're going to need to sack.

That's a good idea.

Everything always looks better in the morning, right?

Hey, Derek.

Hi.

So am I.

Thanks.

Well, Derek, what more can I say?

You don't need to say anything.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I think so.

Get some rest.

There are things in all of our pasts that would alter our perceptions of each

other.

Some of these may come to light, and some will go unspoken forever.

I only hope, when we are confronted by these revelations, we don't forget the

trust and bonds we've worked so hard to forge.
