Original subtitles

From the world of death may cross, call upon your deepest pain

and come into this world again.

There.

It's done.

I let tape out. I like hearing Dad's voice.

Don't you?

Of course I do.

Of course I do, sweetheart.

Mom? Mm -hmm?

It's that girl.

What girl?

The girl by the tree. Never been there before.

Hmm. Huh.

Maybe we never noticed her before.

Mom, please. I've seen this video like a hundred times. Never been there.

Kind of creepy how she just stands there watching us.

Yeah, it is, but she must have been there.

Mom, I just said she wasn't.

Why don't you listen to me?

Kat, I am listening.

So it doesn't make any sense because...

Neither Kat nor I ever saw the girl before, and Kat must have watched the

dozen times.

Why that particular one?

Well, we shot this tape the weekend before the accident, so it's, you know,

last tape we got of us as a family.

I watched it a lot myself four years ago. It's just kind of my way of

you know?

I understand.

Okay.

There. Go back a little bit.

There she is.

Wait a minute.

My God.

I saw that.

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 society, known as Legacy, created

to protect the innocent from those creatures that inhabit the shadows.

Hey, Nicky, wait up.

I think they should have a leash law

for boys instead of dogs. I think you're right.

And you know the scary thing about boys?

They grow up.

You're new here. I haven't seen this school before.

We just moved here from Oakland.

My name's Paige.

I'm Kat.

So, do you want to eat lunch with me? I already had lunch.

Besides, I think yours has footprints all over it. It won't be the first time.

So, have you been dating your friends yet?

Just one so far.

Well, maybe two.

No chemical alteration.

Okay, last resort.

Yeah, Timothy there would love this.

Gotcha.

Who the hell are you? You know what I'd do if she were my mother?

I'd go and lock myself in my room and listen to my music as loud as I can.

Hi, Paige. Sorry I'm late. I forgot your earrings, so I had to go back to my

house to get them.

Hey, no problem.

Kat, this is my best friend, Miranda.

We know each other.

Yeah, we used to be friends. Right, Kat?

Right. Look, I'm really sorry about what happened with your mom.

I know it got kind of out of hand.

I wish we could be friends again.

Don't you miss all that cool stuff we used to do together?

Not really.

Listen, you guys, we're going to be late. We have to get to class.

I got to go do some things.

Sure, whatever.

Okay, Kat. See you later. Bye.

You can see the aura is completely different than yours and Kat's.

Might indicate that it's not even corporeal. Yeah, but if it's a spirit,

it get on the video?

The tape is just a thin layer of molecules. Maybe it's easier for the

appear there than in real life.

But why this video, and why at that moment?

Maybe she's trying to tell you something.

Looks like she's just standing there watching us.

Yeah, it is kind of nasty, isn't it?

Sure is.

I'll give you a copy of the tape and the printout.

Maybe it'll jog Kat's memory.

Yeah, sure.

Even have a conversation with me. You know, she's entered that attractive

of I hate my mother and everything she thinks is stupid.

Lovely. Yeah, well, I'm beginning to accept the fact that it is a normal rite

passage for kids her age. I think I was 13 when I entered mine.

Yeah, when did it last?

I'm almost over it. You know, I thought I was going to be better prepared to

deal with it just because of my training, but I am not.

Can't really make out of faith.

No, neither can I.

Oh, hi, Mom. How are you doing? Thank you. How are you?

What you working on?

English, history, I don't know.

With TV on, I don't think so.

It works for me.

Well, it doesn't work for me.

You know the rule of cat.

Homework first and then TV.

Excuse me.

Have you developed selective hearing? I said turn off the TV.

I'm old enough to do my homework any way I want.

If that's your judgment, apparently not. Now go to your room, cat.

Be sure to lock my cell door once I'm inside.

That was maybe when I was playing the table.

I don't know.

Maybe I was dreaming or tired or maybe it was just anxiety. But I'll tell you

what, it sure seemed real enough to me.

Is Sean Catt the printout yet?

Oh, no.

But it's right here.

Do you remember the name of the park that you shot the video at? I thought

I'd check into the history of it and see if anything unusual turned up.

Yeah, it was called Dunlinden Park. But you know what? I think it closed down a

couple of years ago. Something to do with the development?

I gotta go. I'll talk to you later. All right.

Good morning, sweetie.

Let's sleep.

I made your favorite.

Waffles and whipped cream.

Listen, Kat, I was thinking.

I owe you an apology.

You do your homework.

You get good marks.

Where and when you do it, I think it should be your decision.

So from now on, it will be okay.

I guess.

Good. Listen, I went to the legacy house yesterday, and... Catherine, where are

you going?

I have to get to school early today.

You haven't eaten your breakfast yet.

And I really want to talk to you, honey. I'm not hungry right now. Listen,

Catherine.

Okay, eat your lunch, all right?

Hey, Cat.

Is everything okay?

Look, Kat, I wish we could be friends again.

Listen, I only have two friends in the whole entire world.

You and Miranda.

We have to get along.

It's okay. I'll catch you after school, Paige.

Miranda, you were right.

I do miss the cool stuff we used to do together.

We can hang out.

If you want.

Great. It was torture not being your friend.

So, what's up? You look kind of glum.

Okay, my mother.

She gave me permission to watch TV.

Oh, God.

She acts like I'm five years old all over again. Mine too. It's like it gives

them the pleasure to think that they can totally control it. I don't even talk

to my mother anymore.

Really? I can never get away with that. She totally ground me. I'm not afraid of

getting grounded.

She's done part of my life. I didn't say I was afraid.

Hey, come on, Paige.

Cat's the bravest girl I know.

Really? Well, did you ever play chicken, cat, you know, where a dairy turner

does things to see who's bravest?

I know what it is.

What's the point?

Well, to see who you can really trust.

That's what real friendship's all about.

Not backing down.

Come on, just you and me.

Who goes first?

I will.

You give me a dare and I have to do it.

Miranda can judge.

I know.

You have to draw something on Miss Wickersham's blackboard.

Oh, oh, oh, okay. Get this.

You have to draw a picture of her with gross, funny teeth and a nose just like

pig.

When? Well, during lunch so she won't see it until we're all in our suits.

Oh, my gosh. This is going to be so frightening.

This has got to be the only park in California where nothing happens.

Police reports.

I can't go yet. Miranda's not here.

We're playing the game, Kat.

Not Miranda.

Look, there's Miss Wickersham.

It's now or never. Where have you been?

Oh, helping a friend find something. What did I miss? Nothing.

She just came out.

Here I go.

If she gets caught, we could all get in trouble.

Don't worry.

Paige won't get caught.

Just look how she just stands there watching the kids.

It's like she's going to attack.

Like a hawk or something.

Or the might.

Oh, my God. He's going back in.

Oh, my gosh. What are we going to do?

Watch.

You've got to try one page.

That's not how the game works, Kat.

Well, I'm cheating.

Kat!

How did you get out of there?

Same way I went in.

It's your turn, Kat.

And I know the perfect bear.

We all meet after school by the old stone church.

No more decaf for this boy.

What?

Okay, Kat.

Do you remember what you have to do?

Um, climb up and put this in the rectory window.

Fine, at least tell me what's in it.

You'll find out when you get up there.

Ask the cat. And remember, if you see him inside, just signal. And we'll go

knock on the door.

Okay.

Good luck.

Be careful.

Let her get out of it herself.

She might get killed.

That would be too bad.

That wasn't part of the deal.

Miranda, help me!

Miranda! Help me, I can't hold on!

Miranda!

So I don't know what happened. Please, Father, accept it.

Thank you.

And I promise you it won't happen again.

I'm glad you grasped the situation, Miss Corrigan.

Do you have any idea of how dangerous that was, Catherine?

What do you think would have happened to you if Father Michaels hadn't grabbed

you?

I would have fallen.

Yes.

You would have been seriously hurt or worse.

But I wasn't.

That's not the point.

Nothing happened, Mom. That's the point. Take a chill pill.

You do not speak to me like that.

Don't.

Why, you speak to me any way you want. No, I always speak to you with respect,

and I expect the same respect back. I am your mother.

Thanks for reminding me.

Catherine, I... Oh, hi.

Bad time?

Oh, come on in.

It's no good time around here anymore.

So what do you got?

Well, I was researching Dunlendon Park, looking for any unusual deaths involving

young girls. You found something?

Yeah. Nothing to do with the park, but the computer had some sort of weird

glitch. I don't know how, but it opened up a private file.

Whose private file?

Yours.

Sorry.

Mine.

So what, they find out that I used to do a lot of drugs and drink?

You know, I had a few really wild years, Nick.

No, the, uh, you know about your daughter.

The one you had before you married Patrick.

I was like 19 years old.

I barely knew the father, and I sure wasn't ready to be a mother.

When you were young, it wasn't a crime.

Yeah, you've never been.

I mean, as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I stopped everything. I

up my act. I was... And then I felt her move inside me, and I

knew what I had to do.

So I made the decision I was going to give her up.

And I did. I just... I never even held her. I just...

I tried not to think about her. And, you know, life went on.

And I met Patrick.

I convinced myself that I was protecting him by not telling him. And, I mean,

I know.

I was protecting myself, and I just, I figured I'd tell him someday.

And we had a baby of our own.

But then, when Connor was born, it was really

painful, and I couldn't.

So I didn't.

And I didn't, you know, didn't tell anyone.

Ever.

You know where she is now?

Well, Sid, all I know about her is my baby.

You know, I was working on the tape when I passed out and when I woke up.

Your file was just there.

Mm -hmm. So what are you saying?

Maybe it wasn't a computer glitch.

Maybe some force put it there for a purpose.

What do you mean? The girl in the video?

It's a possibility that she was trying to communicate with you.

She was your daughter.

Man, that was a really close call, Kat. I got in so much trouble for it. And I

said it was all my idea. I didn't even mention you guys.

Not even to your mom?

Told you Paige Kat would never tell.

Good. Now it's time for round two to prove who's really the bravest.

I don't know, Paige.

Pat almost got hurt last time.

That's why they call it chicken.

It's the only way to seal the bond between us. To make us real sisters.

It's okay, Miranda. I'm ready.

Good. They'll meet tomorrow at the clearing in the woods.

And we can set up the final dare.

Sure.

Well, I'd better get home. My mom will be waiting for me.

Bye.

Look, Kat, we really need to talk.

When I was in college, before I met your daddy, I had a baby, Catherine.

A baby?

Mm -hmm.

A little girl.

I was really young. I was 19.

I wasn't married.

And I was very confused.

It was hard.

I made a choice which I thought was the best possible choice for this baby.

And I put her up for adoption.

You gave her away?

Mm -hmm.

Did Daddy know?

Honey, no. This was before I met your Daddy.

And I never told him.

Why not?

Why didn't you tell me?

You always tell me we shouldn't have secrets between us.

No, we shouldn't have secrets between us. I believe that, Catherine, but

Honey, this was a really long time ago.

You do a lie.

You lied to me and you lied to my daddy.

You're right.

You know what? If I could go back there and just change that, if I could tell

him the truth right now, I would, Catherine, but I can't.

So I just... I have to move forward from here.

You're gonna do.

I want to find the family who adopted her.

You want to find her?

Why? You know the video, Catherine?

The little girl in it?

I think that's her.

And that she's trying to reach me.

I need to know.

Because she's still my daughter.

Mommy, what about me? I'm your daughter.

Of course.

daughter, honey, but... Oh, Catherine, I love you so much.

Nothing's gonna change how much I love you, but... I gotta do

this. Let me come with you.

No. Can I come with you?

No, Catherine, you can't. Why not? I gotta do this by myself, Catherine.

Oh, man.

According to the adoption aid, see, this is the address.

You sure you're ready for this? No, but I've got to do it. I mean... Oh, God,

you have no idea how many times I've just thought about her and imagined

her voice and what she looks like.

This is too good.

Hi, I'm Rachel Corrigan and I'm very sorry to bother you at home But I I was

wondering if we could just talk to whatever it is. I'm not it. It's about

daughter.

I I I'm her birth mother

I'm sorry. This really must be a shock to you and I I wouldn't do this but Look

miss Corrigan

Our daughter died eight years ago.

I'm sorry.

How?

It was an accident.

My husband's not very well.

See, this is my card, and if you would just call me sometimes so we could talk.

Sorry, Rach.

Miss Corrigan.

This was taken just before she...

She fell down a flight of stairs.

What was she like?

Oh, she was beautiful and smart and full of life.

She was a gift you gave us.

Even if just for a little while, she looked a bit like you.

Light of day.

Dark of night.

Angry spirits come to light.

Let injustice set you free.

And use your rage to come to me.

Maybe you brought me back, Miranda.

But I go where I want to now.

Why did you call me?

To make sure we understand each other.

What's to understand?

I know what I want.

Listen, the idea is to get revenge on the mother who left you. Hurting Kat was

never a part of it. What do you care if she gets hurt? I have plans for Kat.

Remember, she's not the one you want to destroy.

I'll keep it in mind.

Hey. Looks like someone didn't get a lot of sleep last night.

Not a wink.

So, I heard Kat, she left, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, she said she was going to the library.

Mm -hmm.

How about you? You find out anything about Paige?

Well, I did a little bit of footwork.

Traced her school.

Talked to her teacher and principal.

Local hospital.

Okay.

All right, I'm ready.

She was everything that her adopted mother said she was.

Smart and pretty and popular with her classmates.

She's a lot like Kat, right?

And when she was around eight, she started to become withdrawn.

Her teachers labeled her problematic.

Eventually, they diagnosed her with a mental illness.

Possibly schizophrenia.

Oh, Nick, I... I hate this.

I've been thinking about this all night long. I just... Listen, if she inherited

the site like Kat, then nobody would have known what it was. They would...

easily think that she was mentally ill. I mean, she probably thought she was

mentally ill herself. I mean, how do we know anyone even told her that she was

adopted?

If she was the girl in the video, then she was able to find you and Kat. She

must have known something.

The question is, what does she want?

We both did our dares. Now it's time to set up a challenge.

Why? What are we proving?

Courage and loyalty, Kat.

Sisters, remember?

We have to trust each other no matter what.

So what's the challenge?

We meet at the bridge at the park at 10 o 'clock.

10 o 'clock?

We'd have to seek out.

Look, if we can't handle that, we may as well just forget it.

I didn't say I couldn't handle it, okay?

I'll be there.

Hold out your left hand.

This makes it official.

We're sisters.

But the first one to back out is banished.

Kat?

Honey, can we talk?

You know, girl...

So, Catherine, I understand why you're mad at me.

I really do.

I know you're upset and you feel like I lied to you.

And I'm very sorry.

Anyway, I want you to know I went to see your sister's family.

And I found out that she's dead.

So, it's just you and me again.

And I promise, no more secrets about anything.

That's right.

No more secrets.

Why didn't you love me?

Why didn't you even try to find me?

Why? I wanted to. I was afraid.

Of what?

You're doing the wrong thing. I was afraid you wouldn't understand why I let

go. And why did you let me go?

Because I couldn't give you the kind of life I wanted you to have.

Did you even know what kind of life you gave me?

I'm so sorry.

Oh, baby.

I know you suffered.

I'm so sorry.

I just wasn't ready to be a mother.

Oh, baby.

I thought that if I gave you to people who loved you, I can't

change the past, honey.

But I never forgot you. I will never forget you.

I will always remember you.

The second girl.

What about Kat?

She has the life I deserved.

No, no. Kat doesn't have anything to do with this. This has nothing to do with

Kat, Paige.

I'll be sure to tell her that.

Where is she?

Where's Kat?

Where do you think?

My two favorite girls.

It's not getting caught.

It's this cliff.

I've always had a fear of heights.

Hey, Kat.

I didn't think you'd come.

Well, I guess we're wrong.

So what's the challenge?

We have to cross that?

It looks like you could fall down any minute.

Not... Backing out, are you?

Who goes first?

Me.

Miranda will stay over here and watch.

Just kidding. No sweat.

Which way?

I don't know.

They could have gone either way.

Nick, there's an old bridge in the park. It's really dangerous. All right, I'll

go through here. You take the car.

Your turn, kitty

cat.

um

watching ball better hurry cat why are you doing this we're supposed to be

sisters we are sisters look at me cat don't you

see a family resemblance i am your sister the one our mother never wanted

you're dead and you're gonna find out what it's like

Use your magic, Kat.

Use your magic.

Why are you doing this?

Please talk to me, Paige. I knew you'd want to be here for this, Mommy, since

you weren't there when I fell to my death.

easier than what you're feeling now

use your magic Kat

use your magic she's a spirit use your powers to destroy her no

you're right Paige I am your sister I'm sorry we never knew

each other and I know what it's like to be alone and if this makes it right

I forgive you, Paige.

I forgive you.

Pat!

Pat! What's going on, honey?

I'm sorry, Paige.

I'm so sorry.

Don't forget me.

I could never forget you.

I love you, Paige.

A child is life's greatest gift.

In giving up Paige, I abandoned that gift.

Yet she's found it in her heart to forgive me.

There's no greater love than that between a mother and her child.

There's also no greater pain.
