Captain Law. What exotic trade from the Far East are we transporting today?

Dried goods. Shrimp, squid, salted preserved fish.

Everything seems to be in order here. Good luck with your salted fish.

Put your hands up and do not move!

You're under arrest for illegally entering this country!

Federal agents! Drop your weapons!

I wonder what's behind door number one.

He says don't go in there.

Something bad. Very bad.

Oh, my God!

Let it out, Diane.

It was so powerful.

It was like it wasn't even a dream.

It was like it was happening for real, again.

It's telling me something.

It's telling me that you haven't finished grieving for your loss.

You were the victim of a terrible act.

You have to give yourself time to process those feelings inside you.

I'm sorry, Diane. It's ten after.

No, that's OK. That's OK. Take all the time that you need.

I'm just going to see if my daughter's here.

- Hey. - Hi!

Catherine, hi. They had a great time. But I gotta go. Zo� has gymnastics.

- Oh, that's OK. Thanks, Terri. - Bye.

- Bye, sweetie. I'll see you tomorrow. - Bye.

- Listen. Can you give me one more minute? - Sure.

OK, you just wait right over there with Ellen. OK?

- Can I get a drink of water? - Sure. Do you know where it is?

Yep. Turn left at the end of the hallway.

Radiology technician to ER.

Any radiology technician, report to ER.

Jordan?

Jordan, come on.

Jordan, do you hear me?

Sweetie?

I'm sorry.

That was very rude.

You know better than to stare at people, especially in a hospital.

- Mom, you have to help her. - I don't even know who she is.

- She probably doesn't even need my help. - You have to help her.

Come on, let's go.

- Promise you'll help her. - Jordan!

- Promise. It's very important. - Why?

She's gonna save Daddy's life.

Point taken. It was staged to look like it wasn't.

Which leads me to believe

this murder was committed by someone familiar with the case.

Law Enforcement?

Not the first time that a new crime has been blamed on a past murder.

Frank, point taken. You can get up now.

Working in this business sometimes makes me wonder

if my last portrait will end up being the subject of a crime-scene photo.

That's why I always wear clean underwear.

Well, it's not the only reason.

Catherine.

I'm sorry I didn't call before I came over. I...

I... I didn't know I was really coming over until I was standing in front of your door.

Well, come in.

- This is Lara Means. You remember her? - Yeah. Hi.

- How are you? - Good.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were working.

Oh. Oh. Oh, we're not. I mean, we are, but we're done. Almost.

I'll just...

- Can I have a minute? - Yeah, sure.

- You have something for me? - I do.

This is so silly. But Jordan was relentless.

I've never seen her like that. I mean, about something like this.

- There's this woman. - Yeah?

She was brought into our hospital

from this ship that was smuggling people into the United States.

They gave her a complete checkup - blood work, x-rays, everything.

She had no ID. No one knows anything about her,

only that maybe she suffered abuse from the smugglers.

OK, Catherine, what do you want me to do?

I don't know.

I sort of made this copy of her file.

It's got her blood type and fingerprints. Maybe you can find out who she is.

- Catherine, you stole her history. - I know. It's crazy. I...

It's crazy. But I had to do it.

There was just something in Jordan's voice.

She was serious. And I took her seriously.

Jordan wants you to find out who she is?

Jordan wanted me to help her,

because this woman is going to save your life.

We're dealing with the Chinese government now.

The ones with a criminal record are weeded out and sent home.

The rest are given their day in court.

- What's the Millennium Group's interest? - To be perfectly honest, none.

- Geibelhouse said you work with them. - I do, but this is a private inquiry.

I need to know anything you have on this woman.

- A civilian request? - Yeah.

We have no information on her.

How was she discovered? Why is she still in the hospital? I know she was chained.

We have no information.

- Sorry. Is there anything else? - No. Thank you.

Do you recognize her? She was on the same ship you were on.

Can you tell me anything about her? What about you?

You recognize her, don't you?

Hi. My name is Catherine.

I'm a counselor here at the hospital.

This is Jennifer. She is the Chinese language interpreter.

We just wanted to make sure that everything was OK.

Maybe she speaks another dialect?

Just ran out of dialects.

From where the ship originated,

she should have responded to one of my questions.

My daughter, the little girl who was staring so rudely at you last night,

she wants me to help you.

But I don't know how.

Not of this earth.

Thanks, Geibs.

Sorry about that INS guy. I didn't think he was gonna be such a pain in the ass.

- What exactly are we looking for? - We don't know.

OK. Besides the smuggling of human beings, for which we got the perps,

you suspect another crime?

- Not necessarily. - Give me a reason why we're goin' up there.

- We're collecting evidence. - For a crime to be named later.

I'm gonna stay up here to look for my evidence.

Can you imagine coming across the Pacific Ocean in this?

Knowing that there's a great possibility

that you will be caught and sent home, only to start all over.

That's the power of a dream.

People consider this country a beacon of hope.

They'll use any means, Lara. Go to any lengths to get here.

Because humans always gravitate toward the light.

Humans will always find a way to exploit other humans.

These people are usually so indebted to the smugglers who bring them here

that they become virtual slaves, working for years to repay their debt.

I bet they'd do anything to wake up from that nightmare.

You know, it's refreshing to hear someone even more cynical than I am.

According to the report, cargo hold 38 is where they found the woman.

The ocean.

Collect any evidence?

OK, take a look.

What is it?

It ain't salted preserved fish.

Yep. Same as the other three.

Cause of death: ventricular fibrillation due to hypothermia.

There's evidence of acidosis, increased formation of lactic acid,

depression of renal function.

No indication of trauma to the head or neck. No wounds of any kind.

No signs of puncture marks. These people died from exposure to the elements.

It's not like they were in the middle of nowhere. They could have sheltered.

Maybe they were forced to stay on deck.

In which case, it's murder. Or at least manslaughter.

Is it possible to tell if these victims were subjected to the elements just once,

or many times before they died?

It's hard to say, but if you look at the extremities here...

I see signs in these cuticles that indicate

a previous frostbite had been healing.

That indicates more than one exposure.

Frank, do you think they were, like, tortured?

Repeatedly exposed to the cold until they died?

Or rescued again and again until it was too late.

Either way, I can understand if maybe one person died like this. But four?

What could have possibly happened on that ship?

14 years. That's a long time.

You could have a whole career in 14 years.

Or you could start a new career.

Go back to school, get your bachelor's, master's, PhD two times over.

14 years is enough time to watch a boy grow into a man.

What are you talking about?

The next part of your life. Are you interested?

Hey. I know that your lawyer told you to plead no contest.

The most you'd do is 15 months.

That's when it was smuggling. Now... Now, it's different.

Yeah. Now it's murder.

- Four counts. - No.

We found four bodies crammed into a crate on your ship.

- You wanna tell me how they got there? - They died.

- You kill them? - No. I don't know how they died.

But I do know the people I transport would not want to be thrown into the sea.

I was bringing them back to their homeland to be buried.

Who is she?

When you answer that, you will know what killed the men.

Tell me about the first time you saw her.

I was alone on the bridge, making a routine check.

I notice we are off course.

I have to make an adjustment, which loses us maybe an hour.

I think nothing of it.

The sea often takes you to where she wants you to go.

It was late at night,

which will make what happened next even more impossible.

In the middle of the Pacific, with nothing around for miles, I heard her.

Against the roar of the sea, I hear her voice.

It sounded close, like it was just beyond the lights of the ship.

But, thinking back now, it was closer.

It was as if she stood next to me.

Her voice went beneath your skin.

With hands seductive and powerful.

Hold onto your spine.

I was walking back to my cabin when I heard laughter. A woman's laugh.

Women are not allowed in crew quarters.

Naturally, I was curious.

They were in a passionate embrace.

Which was not in itself unusual, because it was Fung Lum.

He considers himself a conqueror of women.

But it looked to me like it was she who had conquered him.

So this was the first time that you saw her?

I thought Fung Lum had smuggled her on board.

What? He didn't notice the rescue?

Nobody was rescued from the sea.

She came as the answer to his prayer.

My brother believe in divinity.

He believe the forces of the world is foretold.

Only we are blind to the future.

But she... She have the gift to see.

- So how did your brother meet her? - A voice.

He heard her voice.

He heard her voice and was seduced before he saw her.

Yes. She sang to him.

Did you see this woman before the journey started? Was she part of a group?

No. She just appeared.

That's when everything started going crazy.

We found Fung Lum on the bow, frozen.

On his face was an expression I'll never forget.

A scream caught inside a smile.

He was an experienced seaman.

It was impossible for him to die in this way.

I don't know how. I have no proof. But I believe now this woman killed him.

The next day and night passed without incident.

But the next morning we found another body.

For our own safety, I put the woman into chains,

and locked everybody into their quarters.

We was frighten. Nobody know why they lock us together.

My brother is very angry.

When we go to sleep he would tell me "We have to get out."

When I wake up, the door is still lock, but Ming is gone.

I never see my brother again.

Mr Chin, I'm sorry you have to find out in this way.

Was one of these men your brother?

Here's my thing. I'm captain of a ship smuggling aliens into the United States.

Bodies start showing up dead on board. First thing I look for is a scapegoat.

If I also happen to be a misogynist

who spends my time at sea in the company of other men,

then it wouldn't be a stretch for me to blame all my troubles on a beautiful woman

because subconsciously I got a lot of problems relating to women.

And I'm scared to death of anything resembling lust.

- What about the other stories? - Yee Chun is part of his crew

and he disputed his captain's story of the rescue at sea.

- Chin believes she's supernatural. - That only strengthens my position.

Soylent green is people.

I sent the mystery woman's picture and prints to the Group's database for analyzing

and apparently they came up with a match.

"Tamara Shui Fa Lee. Chinese national, Hong Kong resident."

"Lost in the East China Sea

50 miles south of Sakishima Island, November 1988."

She's been dead for ten years.

I played the tape for every interpreter in the hospital.

Nobody knows what - or if - it's an actual language.

But the funny thing is, even though I couldn't understand her,

I had the feeling that she totally understood me.

Did you find out anything?

Maybe. The only match the computer came up with was a girl that died ten years ago.

Well, that's not her. She's not only alive, she's amazingly healthy.

All of her tests came back negative. They're gonna send her back to the detention camp.

And then probably back home to China soon.

Could you get me in to see this woman?

Frank, I've been thinking.

I shouldn't have brought you into this. I shouldn't have been involved in it myself.

I know that Jordan is sensitive and that she's special.

But she's still only a child.

And to do what we did because of something that she said, that's... it's insane.

- You want me to forget about it? - I think we should.

Can I borrow this?

- Don't forget dinner tonight. - I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Last chance for the truth.

I've been waiting for you.

You know me?

Frank Black.

How many acts by how many men did it take before our two points intersect?

- You speak English. - No. You understand English.

Are you Tamara Lee?

If you want me to be, if that makes you comfortable,

yes, you can call me that.

If who you are is not important, then what are you?

- How did you get on that ship? - They must have told you.

Three different versions. Which one do I believe?

They're all true.

Because, as you must know by now, Frank, there's no such thing as a single truth.

Everything must be seen from its own point of view.

No. There's good, and there's evil.

Is there, Frank?

So, tell me, was it good for you to kill that man?

To leave your family?

Or was it evil?

But this is not why we came together. I'm not here to talk about your past, Frank.

I'm here

because I'm more concerned about your future.

- You're gonna save my life? - Exactly. Your life.

You know, you're either living or dying.

Living is doing whatever you wanna do.

Dying is everything else.

So, which are you?

At this moment, I'm not very sure.

Well, then, you'd better figure it out.

There are only 652 days left.

I can offer you anything, Frank. Just tell me what you want.

Wealth? Power?

Sex?

Believe me, greater men have fallen for less.

I can make you so very happy, Frank.

Just tell me what you want.

Is this your idea of a seduction?

You tell me.

- Is it working? - Not in the least.

Then keep thinking.

Why do we have to eat food with sticks?

Because it's Chinese food. Look, watch what I'm doing.

You hold it like that with your thumb and then you pinch the food like that.

- See, I'm an expert. - Look! I did it!

- Very good! - That's cheating but...

No, they say that the test of a true chopstick master

is to pick up a peanut.

Hey.

- Here, sweetie. - Thank you.

It's great to have you home.

I'm worn out. I've got to get some sleep.

Frank? Frank?

I'm sorry. Did I fall asleep downstairs?

- What's the matter? - We're sleeping together.

We've been sleeping together since before we were married.

You're sensing things again.

Again?

It hasn't happened since you resigned from the FBl.

- What about the Millennium Group? - What?

I don't know what you're talking about.

My Millennium Group icon has been deleted. There's no ouroboros.

Honey, tell me what this is about.

Come here, listen to me. You, Catherine, you tell me.

Who am I? Who am I?

Your name is Frank Black.

You have a wife and daughter who love and adore you.

You own a successful private investigative consulting firm

with Fortune 500 clients.

You live in this beautiful yellow house, with money in the bank, and you're very happy.

- I am? - Yeah.

Peter. I tried to page you about ten times.

That was you? How'd you get my number?

It's Frank. Frank Black. The guy that you got into the Millennium Group.

Oh. Oh, yeah, the Millennium Group.

How was the meeting last night? I was busy at work, so I couldn't go.

Why don't we all go down to headquarters? I gotta pay my dues this month, anyway.

You're playing right into my delusion. It's the oldest trick in the book.

I won't play games if you won't. I don't know who you are or how you know me.

But you stay away. You got no idea what you're dealing with here.

I checked out all the bank accounts,

recent credit apps, large purchases,

anything that would indicate a sudden influx of money.

I may have found our embezzler.

On a $53,000 annual salary,

she recently purchased two Ski-Doos, a trailer...

Excuse me.

Jordan?

Jordan?

Getting a body temperature of 93�. He's been out here way too long.

This guy's in a lot of trouble. Come on, let's go.

Frank, what are you doing?

You almost died of exposure 12 hours ago. You should be in bed recovering.

- I've got to see her. - Who?

The woman. Tamara.

Thank you.

It's too late. She's already been sent back to the internment center.

They'll never release you in this condition.

No doctor in his right mind is gonna sign you out.

- Do you wanna tell me what's going on? - Catherine, who am I?

- Who am I? - Your name is Frank Black.

You have a wife and daughter who love you.

- You work with the Millennium Group. - Good.

- Honey... - I'll be all right.

Frank.

- Mr Black, where are you going? - Frank?

- Frank? Frank, it's me. - I have to talk to her.

Frank, get in!

Frank, are you OK?

Catherine called Peter Watts. She's really concerned.

She said you walked out of the hospital in a delusional state.

- From what I can see, she's right. - I have to talk to her.

Tamara Lee? What did she do to you?

Look, I don't know what's going on here, but I think I have a good idea.

Somehow, whatever killed those men on that ship is affecting you.

She's at the internment center. I have to talk to her.

- What part of that don't you understand? - Some of those men died from exposure.

- Frank, you are following that pattern. - Either take me there or leave me alone.

- Get in the car. - I'm driving!

- I'm not gonna let you take me back. - You are in no condition to drive.

OK! All right! Fine!

Get in.

Frank! What?

- I'm just gonna lay it on the line here. - Go ahead.

You're acting irrational. There's no reason why we have to see this woman tonight.

She's under custody.

And you really need to go back to the hospital.

Have you ever been given a second chance at life?

Tamara gave me a vision of a new path.

A vision full of grace and horror.

And I've got to find out if my association with Millennium

is bringing that horror to my home and my family.

Or has the Group been keeping it at bay?

- I'll find an agent in charge to let us in. OK? - Yeah.

Hey! Hey!

Frank, no!

Federal agent!

Help the girl!

Are you OK?

Are you OK?

Hey. Frank Black. I've got to ask you a very important question.

- This woman doesn't understand English. - No, she understands.

Come on, listen to me. Listen to me.

Frank, she's been through a lot. We'll set up an interview tomorrow. Take her away.

I recorded the whole interrogation.

You know me?

How'd you make sense of what she said?

You speak English.

I heard what I wanted to hear.

She was sent here to tempt me with a question about...

- About the Millennium Group? - About my life.

And I didn't know until this moment

that she didn't have the answer.

Do you?
