Brother Thomas.

Brother Wyatt.

You're late.

Forgive me.

I lost track of time. No, no, it's all right.

The portal.

Have you found it?

Yes. I mean, perhaps.

I'm confused.

Confused? About what?

Whether we are truly doing God's work.

That is a judgment you must leave to me.

The important thing is that you've located it. Where?

Out in the bay.

On Angel Island.

There's a mansion.

A legacy.

A legacy?

No, no, it's called the Lunar Foundation.

The portal is somewhere beneath the main house.

The Lunar Foundation is only for dark.

How do you know?

That is not your concern.

The important thing is, are you sure?

Yes.

16th century church records tell of four Franciscans being attacked by demons.

He flowed out of an opening in the earth.

The sole survivor claimed he was saved when an angel appeared and filled the

opening with the rock.

What was the name?

Angel Island.

Did you find anything more recent?

Various accounts.

The present house was constructed after the great quake of 1906.

One thought the portal was at the epicenter. Yes, of course.

Father?

I'm afraid. Afraid of what?

That our mission was misconceived.

The Lunar Foundation.

I met with the precept, Derek Rain.

They work for good, not evil.

Without me...

What can I do?

Give you a demonstration, I suppose, of my sincerity.

Yes. I don't mean to impugn... Oh, no, of course not.

It's simple, really.

Have you not served me well in this life?

Oh, yes, Father.

Then you must serve me well.

But once the legacy finds you, I will find them.

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.

But look at the weather pattern.

It's not that I don't believe you, but don't you think you're reading a little

too much into this? I'm just trying to make sense of the facts.

Earthquakes, violent storms, fires, it's barely even hard news.

It's not the events themselves.

Taken in isolation, each one isn't anything more than a passing interest.

you put them together, I think there's a legitimate case here. For what?

The end of the world?

Okay, well, let's not overstate things, but if you look over the past 18 months,

record rain, floods in the south, more tornadoes recorded than any year on

record, fires throughout Australia, a freak snowstorm right here in San

Francisco, famine in Africa and India. I mean, back here, better coverage, more

cable channels needing to fill, more air time. Come on, Alex. You know these

things go in cycles. Yes, but it's the coincidence of the cycle that's

troubling. Why?

Because of a...

Biblical prophecy?

No, no, no. If I have to choose between physics and metaphysics, I go for

science every time.

Okay, well, maybe you're right, but if you're not... Hello, Rachel Corrigan.

Yes?

Uh -huh.

When?

I see.

Yeah, we'll be there as soon as we can.

Francis Carlton.

At the coroner's office, Francis said to call it. A body came in.

A monk, St. Portius.

Francis asked me to reiterate.

What I'm about to show you doesn't leave the trail. No, of course, we

understand.

Must be.

According to this, his name's Brother Thomas Sebastian.

Now, did it live to his religious order?

No, but his body was found on the grounds of St. Porch's. You can keep

of the police report. You didn't get it from me.

It says here that the official cause of death was a heart attack. What's the

unofficial? I'm not really certain.

That's why I wanted you to take a look.

Notice the cyanic color on his face?

But he didn't die of asphyxiation.

Or from the fall he took from the bell tower.

As far as I can tell, he was dead before his body ever hit the ground.

His skin.

It appears that there's some internal hemorrhaging here.

And given the condition of his cardiovascular system, his blood must

expanded rapidly under extreme heat.

Blood vessels literally burst beneath the skin.

Caused by what? A high fever?

Or like a microwave.

But obviously that's not it.

How old was this guy?

25. He appears to be much older.

Oh.

It smells even worse.

Is it possible that we can have a tissue sample so that we can do some testing

of our own? We were hoping you'd say that.

Dr. Carlton asked me to prepare this.

It says here that he was found just below the bell tower at St.

Portia.

Why don't we go over and have a look? Thanks.

You'll mention it.

Let me know if you find anything.

Yeah.

Well, that was less than illuminating. I checked the bell tower. No sign of a

struggle. No sign of anything, really.

Did you talk to the parish priest?

Yeah, Father Vlasnik was in Denver at a conference. He just got back today.

Well, he's no help. Anyone else?

Not really. I mean, no one was here at the time of death.

Well, that's organized religion for you. They're never there when you need them.

Aren't you being a little harsh?

Well, how do you see it?

You just have to have faith.

I think that's the difference between you and me. The only faith I have is in

myself. Kat, you, Derek, Nick, of course, but beyond that...

For me, it seems like faith is the only thing that gets me through it.

Didn't help Brother Thomas much, did it?

Now, listen, assuming he was dead before he fell,

how'd he end up way out here?

I know it's got to be at least 30 feet from the base of the tower here.

And short of being first cousin to the flying nun, it doesn't make any sense

that he'd end up this far.

Unless he was pushed.

By the person who boiled his blood?

Listen,

I've got to go because Kat gets out at 3 o 'clock. But will you let me know what

you find out when you test those samples? Absolutely. I'll call you

Okay, good.

I said I could.

What I said was if you want to see a movie with a group of your friends on

weekend, maybe we could work it out. This is none of the above.

How could you say that? Listen, Kat, if these are such good friends of yours,

how come I've never met them?

Second, when the movie turns out to be a double feature, that's not our deal.

And third, Thursday night, not a weekend.

It's just not fair.

If that's how you feel, then I guess it's not fair.

How could you be this mean?

I'm your mother. I work at it. Go do your homework.

It's done.

Please, Kat. We just got home. Your homework is not done.

Do your homework, and we'll talk about your social life later.

You never believe me.

Kat, honey, listen.

I don't feel very well, all right? So please, can we argue about this later?

I'm not arguing.

Miss Baker was absent, and the substitute told us we could do whatever

wanted. That's why I did my homework.

Here.

Math, science, and English. Very good.

Well, I guess I owe you an apology.

I'm sorry.

So could I go to the movies or not?

I told you no.

Mom. End of discussion.

I decided to clean my room.

Good idea.

Well, I'm getting too old for a bunch of stuffed animals.

Uh -huh.

Well, yeah.

Look at them.

They're really pretty dumb, don't you think?

It's your call, but getting rid of them sounds pretty drastic to me.

Well, Mom, if I want to be treated like I'm older, don't I have to act like it?

What are you going to do with them?

Maybe give him to the little girl across the street.

You're going to give Tuffy away, too?

The old tough bear?

Well, I don't need him anymore.

Besides, he's all beat up and his nose is chewed off.

Jumping's coming out.

Yeah, but... Do you remember when we got him?

You were like three years old. Just turn three.

We were in that big hotel in Chicago, and you told your daddy and me that you

couldn't sleep because you were too scared. So we said, okay, we'll get you

dog.

Dogs weren't allowed in the hotel. That's right. So we went across the

Marshall Fields.

We went to the toy department.

And there he was. Oh, take me, take me.

You saw him.

Carried him back to the hotel.

Two minutes you were asleep. No problem.

Well, Mom, I'm older now.

I get to sleep fine now.

I guess you do.

Oh, Catherine, honeybunch, I know you're growing up. You don't have to prove it

to me.

Yeah, I do.

Well, maybe you're right.

But you know what we could do?

We could just leave him here.

Look good in that chair? Just put him here in case you ever change your mind.

You know, you might have a little girl one day who needs a bear.

What do you think?

And I have another idea, too.

How about from now on, you and I listen to each other a little better, huh?

Hello? Rachel, it's me.

Everything okay?

I don't know. Maybe I'm just working too hard.

Yeah, well, I'm not feeling too hot either. What's going on?

I thought I saw Kristen.

Kristen? Our Kristen?

Yeah, it was just for an instant. I was going down the stairs. I heard her

voice, and when I turned around, I saw her hovering outside the second -story

window. And then she was gone.

Uh...

Sounds like you need a second opinion.

Yeah, I guess.

It's just that everything has been so strange here lately.

Anyways, that's not why I called. I think there's something here that you

to see.

Okay.

Why don't Kat and I take a drive and come over there, okay?

A ride would do us some good anyway.

Great. I'll see you when you get here.

What do you think?

Drive to the legacy?

Whatever.

Cat, whatever?

Hey.

Hi, how are you holding up? Fine.

So, Cat, I hope I didn't tear you away from your homework.

Why is everybody making such a big deal about my homework? It's done, okay?

Pat! Alex was joking, and that is no way to talk to her friend.

Sorry. I just finished it at school.

I feel like Helen had a tough day.

Haven't we all?

Are you all right?

I don't know. Maybe it's the touch of the flu. Anyway, you said you found

something? Yeah, it's up in the control room.

Come on, Kat, let's go.

Do I have to?

Yes, you have to.

I really don't feel like it.

Fine.

Do whatever you want. Come on, this won't take long.

Now, I know you're skeptical, but I've just been downloading this report from

the IGS about the polar ice cap melting just below the Antarctic.

Oh, that sounds fascinating. So what's your point?

Well, three other legacy houses have been reporting strange events from the

that we've seen here.

The house in Istanbul, the one in Chile, and the house in Cape Town.

I'd say it sounds pretty random.

That's what I thought, too, until I started connecting the three houses with

polar ice melt.

An inverted pentagram.

Exactly. Now, in the Bible, the portents were like fire, famine, and pestilence.

Now, they all seem to be announcing God's return, but what if the opposite

true? What are you saying?

What, instead of God, it's Satan's return?

Okay, I know this sounds totally crazy, but I remember Derek mentioning once

that certain legacy houses were built to guard what were known as portals. I

didn't know what he meant until now.

Portals, you mean like gateways?

Yeah, they were sealed off to stop evil from taking over.

All right, Alex, you're right. This sounds crazy. You can't be serious.

Actually, I found a precedent a thousand years ago.

The first millennium? Yeah, 999. The forces of evil tried to breach the

at Byzantium.

And who stopped them? The Legacy and a religious order called the Rosicrucians.

They managed to repel the dark side and to seal off the portal.

So...

Are you saying now it's our turn?

That's what it seems.

Okay, all right. So, assuming you're right, how much time do we have?

Oh, that's really hard to tell, but soon.

Yeah, but, I mean, this is all speculation, right?

Call it an act of faith, but all these events have a common thread.

I got you. It's all right. It's all right. I got you. I got you. Mommy?

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It touched me.

What? What was it? What touched you, honey? I don't know.

Mommy? Mm -hmm. I don't feel good.

Don't worry, Kat. Whatever it was, it's gone now.

You're burning up.

And she's shivering. Come on. I'll go get something to bring that fever down.

How's she doing?

Hopefully she's the flu, but... Thanks.

Take these. They'll make you feel better. I'm not a baby.

Come on, Kat. Your mom didn't mean it like that.

Can everybody stop treating me like I'm two years old?

All right.

There you go, sweetie. Now just lie back there. Good girl.

Relax.

and I know she's upset about what just happened, but I mean, sometimes...

Believe me, I know, but there's something else.

Listen, you stay here with Kat. I'm going to try to reach Derek.

Alex, if you find Derek, tell him the minute her fever's down, we're leaving.

I'm not going to stay here tonight. You should come with us.

No, I really need to get to the bottom of this.

Yes? This is the guard at the front gate.

There's a priest here looking for Dr. Rain. I told him he wasn't available,

he insists.

Well, put him on video secure. I'll speak to him.

Yes, may I help you?

I hope so.

I'm trying to reach the precept, Dr. Derek Rain.

Dr. Rain isn't here right now, but I'd be happy to take a message.

My name is Father Elias of the Rosicrucian Order.

It's imperative I speak to whomever's in charge.

A Rosicrucian?

Please. It's extremely urgent.

Yes, of course. Come up to the house. I'll have security pass you through.

Father Elias. Yes.

I'm Alex Moreau.

How do you do?

Fine, thanks. Please come in.

Thank you.

You mentioned the Rosicrucian order.

Yes.

Exactly what is so urgent?

I'm sorry.

I can only speak of this to the preceptor.

The preceptor? Yes.

Well, I told you Dr.

Rain is out of the country. When is he due back?

I'm not quite sure, but he will be calling in.

Well, until he gets back, who's in charge?

I am.

This concerns a young monk, Brother Thomas Bacton.

Brother Thomas?

You know him?

Oh, I saw his body in the morgue.

I'm so sorry. I just assumed that you knew.

No.

But if it's true, the portal may already be beyond repair.

The portal?

Yes. How do you know about the portal?

Brother Thomas came to this house last week. He met with Derek Rain.

Together they went to check the portal. When he returned, he was very upset.

That's why he asked me to come and think for myself.

Brother Thomas came to this house? Yes.

Do you have any idea what may have killed him?

When he came to me, he had chills and fever. He was very sick.

I wanted to help him, but he wouldn't let me. I told him, that's how this

begins. What begins?

Like a disease.

At first you think it's the flu, and then, in truth, it attacks the human

soul.

Is it contagious?

No, not everyone that comes into contact is infected.

Some are simply carriers.

So you may be infecting others without knowing it. Yes, exactly.

Would you come with me? There's someone I'd like you to take a look at.

Yes, of course.

Please, this way.

It's all right, honey.

Can you hear me?

Talk to me, baby.

Cat.

Cat.

I'm right here, honey.

Come on. I need you to wake up now, Kat.

How is she?

I'm not sure. I just... I can't wake her up.

Kat.

Kat, talk to me.

Talk to me, Kat.

She can't hear you.

Who are you?

Rachel, this is Father Elias. He's a Rosicrucian. Please.

From what I know of such things, Miss Moreau thought I could be of some help.

What are you talking about?

A child has been infected.

Let's talk outside.

Please.

Remember Brother Thomas, the monk who died?

His condition was very similar to that of your daughter's. That's ridiculous.

How could you possibly know that?

Because if I'm right, he with him. Infected in that house.

He was here when?

A week ago.

He spoke to Derek.

And Derek failed to tell us? Oh, that's perfect.

You must help me to find the source of this evil and pray.

It's not too late.

I'm sorry, Father, but prayer is for the passive.

My daughter has a fever. She is getting worse, not better. I need to get her to

a hospital before it is too late. You don't understand.

If you don't listen to me, your daughter will die.

Now, whether you want to believe it or not, this house is built above a portal,

an entrance to hell.

Somehow, that portal has been breached.

Whatever infected Brother Thomas has also infected your daughter and others.

Perhaps even yourself.

Please, our only hope is to find the portal and to reseal it.

Please, Father.

My daughter needs medical attention, not... religious dogma. Your daughter

has a gift.

She can see things that others cannot.

Am I wrong?

How do you know she has this gift?

Because if the portal is unsealed, they are the first to be struck down.

Then why didn't it hit me first?

Because adults have greater resilience.

Yet the children, the children are so vulnerable.

I need to get her to an emergency room.

Excuse me, we just need a minute. I'll be right back.

Look, I'm sorry, but I have to do this for Kat.

Agreed. But what if he's right? If whatever killed Brother Thomas came from

house, we need to find its source and seal it off for Kat's sake.

For all of our sakes.

How much do you know about the Luna Foundation?

You mean the legacy?

The Rosicrucians.

We've always shared your battles.

Yes, that's true.

But without Derek, I really don't know where to begin to look.

Are there blueprints, plans of the house? Surely there must be some record.

Well, plans are no problem, but I've never seen anything like a portal.

Let me examine them.

Please.

Okay, wait here. I'll bring them right down.

What happened?

I'm not sure. I heard a noise.

And then there was a strange white light.

It attacked me.

A race?

I've never felt such rage in my life.

How did you stop it?

The cross.

It's my power.

You found them?

Yes.

Now, there are several levels.

to this house, starting with the basement, see?

And below that, there's a series of tunnels. It's almost like a maze.

Well, if the portal is here, there must be a key somewhere.

Let's see, a thousand years ago at Byzantium, the Legacy and the

worked side by side.

According to legend, yes.

So, the key is possibly in the collaboration.

Your cross.

Let's see.

If you align the markings here on the rosette right here so that they

match the markings on the plan.

The portal itself must be here.

Behind that wall.

Okay, assuming that we find it, how do we reveal it?

Leave that to me.

I need it to go down right to him.

and leave the child naked.

Hurry.

Come on, just help me, Annie. Please, there you go. I know, I know. Rachel,

What are you doing?

What I should have done before I'm taking her to San Francisco General.

They're not going to be able to help her. Maybe not, but I'm not going to

stay here and do nothing.

Rachel, I think I found the portal.

Listen, I don't have time to argue with you right now. I've got to go.

Why?

Trust me, nothing in the South is what it seems.

Heather, there's a passageway behind there. Come on.

I know that, but we just...

I'm going to get you better. It's all right.

No! No!

No, you get away!

Get away!

You can't have her! Rachel, no.

Rachel.

Please.

I can't stay.

You can't...

One of the Chosen Ones. Chosen Ones?

Sent to defend the portal.

You... The way you gave that cat, we... I was trying to protect her.

I thought you were evil.

Alex is in great danger.

The portal.

Yes, we know it. It must be resealed.

Alex is with the priest.

Not a priest.

Evil.

He murdered a Rosicrucian and stole his cross.

It's all a sham to reach the portal.

What's wrong?

I can't sustain human form.

What can I do?

Go and help Alex and leave Kat with me.

She's so sick.

Rachel, your only chance to save her is to stop the priest.

And refuel the portal.

How? How do I stop him?

You must have faith, Rachel.

Before it's too late.

All these tunnels start to look the same to me.

It must be somewhere just up ahead.

The entrance to the portal should be down this tunnel.

Are you sure?

Can you hear me?

Come on.

Come on.

What happened?

Oh.

Father Elias.

I don't have time to explain, but we've got to find him.

That way.

Chanting. It's a black...

Father Elias, stop!

Don't interrupt me.

Because you are the trespasser here.

The temporary state.

Afraid of the fire?

You must have faith, Rachel.

Rachel, don't.

Deliver me from evil.

You can't do this.

Yes, I will.

No!

You should have done that.

Sorry to disappoint you.

But you won't. No.

Chosen one.

What are we doing over here?

I'm going to be late for school.

Yep, I guess you are.

I'd like to sleep in.

You don't care?

Hey, everyone needs a day off every once in a while.

Yeah, just to smell the roses.

Seeing Kristen again.

Her willingness to sacrifice herself to save us, to save Kat, made me think.

Perhaps there is some greater good that shapes our lives and inspires us to be

better than we are.

True faith remains elusive.

But now I wonder if indeed it is simply all we have.
