In this city of night,

in this city of millions,

there are countless stories.

This is one...

of two loverswho shared a bond

that changed their livesforever.

It is my story.

How compassion opened my heart

to a world where goodnessand truth were stronger

than hate or fear.

Then... one day,

she was taken from me

by the forces of evilshe had battled so bravely.

And now, alone with her memory,

yet armed with her courage,

I have sworn to fightthose who would kill,

or harm, or destroy,

in the hope that one day

I will findwhat all men seek to find--

my destiny.

Please hold.

Hello?

Office of the District Attorney.

Yes, is Joe Maxwell there?

Who shall I say is calling?

It's Diana Bennett.

I'm with the police department. It's an emergency.

Hold, please.

Miss Bennett, where are you calling from?

Who is this? I need, I need to speak to Joe Maxwell.

He's tied up in court. Tell me where you are.

I'll send someone to pick you up.

His name's Julien.

Some names have power.

But you know that, don't you?

Vincent... conqueror.

Ordinary men write their names in water.

Each generation, there are a few stronger than the rest

who write their names in blood.

My son will be a man like that.

Gabriel,

you have no son.

It's been long enough. Remove the child.

Do it.

Lucas. Reed.

I want the child.

The doctor wants another blood sample.

If you resist, they'll fire, but not at you.

We understand each other?

Do it.

Draw your blood, Doctor.

I got her-- she's traveling west

along 14th.

Do you think he sleeps?

Well, surely. He must.

Well?

The results are the same.

The blood is not compatible.

A transfusion would be fatal.

Where do you suggest that we find a blood type

that is compatible?

The child's blood type is unique.

There isn't any.

I see.

Well, I'm very disappointed, Doctor.

If my son dies...

He's getting stronger.

I can't find any explanation, but...

the boy's fever has broken.

He's taking some formula.

Maybe the illness has run its course

or perhaps there could be

some sort of spontaneous remission.

No...

it's him.

I think she spotted me.

I thought you might want to know...

My son is recovering.

I feel it.

I feel him.

Oh...

by the way...

I thought you might want that back...

now that the woman's dead.

I'm sorry if we frightened you.

We never meant you harm.

Who are you?

When I was part of your world, my name was Jacob Wells.

Vincent is my son.

We're his family.

His friends.

Do you all live down here?

Well, some of us.

Last night,

you came down into the tunnels.

You called for Vincent.

Why?

If you know where he is,

why he left, please.

I brought him a message from Gabriel.

His son is sick.

He may even be dying.

Oh, dear God.

He surrendered himself to save the child's life.

Gabriel has men

inside the police department.

They're everywhere-- I... I don't know who to trust.

They took my gun; my badge is back at my loft.

They've completely cut me off.

I have no money, I have no clothes.

If they find me, they'll kill me.

The pattern is very unusual; it's very old.

I think if we can find this tile, we'll be able to find Gabriel.

I need to get this drawing to Joe Maxwell.

No problem-- I'm in and out of there all the time.

No, it's too dangerous-- they're gonna be

watching Joe.

In that case, I'll take it myself.

Do you know the meaning of "Veritas te Liberabit"?

Veritas...Yes.

"The truth will set you free."

Thank you, Jamie.

This was Catherine's gun.

She brought it to me.

It was during a time of great danger

here in the tunnels.

Now the danger is above.

Thank you.

I told him she was dead.

Are you making a liar out of me, Pope?

Oh, no, sir-- it's only a matter of time.

When it's over, bring her here.

I want him to see her.

I want him to learn-- the truth will set him free.

Gabriel.

I'm here, Vincent.

I can feel your eyes on me.

Does that make you uneasy?

I can feel my son, too.

Our bond is growing stronger, Gabriel.

There's only one bond that counts.

I gave this child life.

Catherine gave him life.

I kept her alive for months

when a word would have ended it.

I was there when Julien was born.

The first time he opened his eyes he looked at me.

He's mine.

He'll never be yours.

Hour by hour,

minute by minute,

our bond grows,

and nothing you do can stop it.

Your death would stop it.

Death...

shall have no dominion.

Tell that to Catherine Chandler.

She knew it...

even at the end.

She kn...

So what you're telling me is, there's no trace of her.

We'll keep looking, but I'm not holding my breath.

The guys who grabbed Bennett were pros.

And what the hell are you, the Campfire Girls?

Look, Joe... No, you look, Greg.

Joe, there's a man out here

insisting that he has to see you.

Tell him to come back tomorrow. He says it's urgent.

Andrea, the office is closed.

Give him an appointment. He says

he has information about Vincent.

Bring him in.

Maybe you better stick around for a minute for this.

On second thought, I think I'd like a minute alone

with Mister... Wells.

Jacob Wells.

You're very lucky you're not under arrest, Mr. Wells.

Have a seat.

There's not time for that, Mr. Maxwell.

Here.

What the hell is this?

A pattern of a floor tile,

from the home of the man who killed Catherine Chandler.

Diana Bennett said

you'd know what to do with it.

Diana?

Diana Bennett's been missing since last night

when she was taken out of a diner at gunpoint.

If you know her whereabouts...

I know she's safe.

I also know we're running short of time.

Why am I listening to you?

Because Catherine would want you to.

We have so much in common.

We could have been great friends.

Fire.

Leave us.

It doesn't have to end that way.

Even enemies can join hands.

I have so much to offer you:

your life, your freedom.

Nothing you could give me can replace what you took.

Love?

You don't know the meaning of love.

Julian needs both of us.

My son...

needs nothing from you.

You have nothing to give.

I can protect him.

I can, uh,

show him the way the world works,

the real world.

I can make him a king.

I've seen your kingdom.

It's a kingdom of shadows.

It's a kingdom of death.

It's ourkingdom, Vincent.

Remember.

Julian will see this one day.

It's important...

that a boy know who his father is.

He's going to kill himself.

No.

He won't die.

Death has no meaning for him.

He's not afraid of pain.

Perhaps he's not intelligent enough

to comprehend his own mortality.

He's more intelligent than you are, Doctor,

and less mortal.

No, the only thing he's afraid of is himself.

You sound like you envy him.

Do you feel sorry for him, Doctor?

Don't.

The day will come...

when he'll watch himself with pleasure.

He'll savor every murder...

and polish the memories like precious gems.

Life and death make a perfect circle,

like a ring that has no beginning and no end.

The serpent eating its own tail forever.

Violence feeds on violence...

...murder on murder,

vengeance on vengeance,

century after century,

through all...

eternity.

I want you guys to talk to building supply retailers,

importers, flooring contractors,

anyone who deals with tile flooring in any way.

Cover all the bases.

Also, real estate brokers.

We're talking about a big-ticket house here.

So check with all the guys who pull down

the million-dollar commissions first.

Also, cleaning services,

tax appraisers,

insurance companies.

Any questions?

There are copies all over the city.

Maxwell has half the NYPD out on the streets.

It must be that woman.

The woman who should be dead by now.

Somehow she's got to Maxwell.

I thought you had Mr. Maxwell under surveillance.

Well, we do, but, uh...

No more buts.

Let Maxwell lead you to her, and then eliminate them both.

No, we can't wait for the guy to get back from his honeymoon.

What, they don't have phones in Italy?

Fax the drawing. I want an answer.

I don't care what time it is there.

Do it.

Oh, damn.

Andrea, I'm stepping out for about an hour.

Are you, uh...?

Come on, mac, dinosaurs don't wait for nobody.

Joe.

You don't know how glad I am to see you.

The old man was on the level.

You really had me scared.

Me, too.

Look, um, you got any leads on those tiles?

No, nothing yet.

Talk to me, Maxwell.

Hey, pal, watch where you're walking.

I just mopped this floor.

Pardon me.

Wait a minute, I'm not through talking to you yet.

Get out of my way.

You know what, I don't like your attitude...

Not so fast.

Now what? What's going on?

Got a license for this?

What's the problem?

D.A.'s office.

This guy's got a gun.

Why don't you hold him till the cops come.

Who are you guys?

Uh... just dinosaur fans.

That's Greg Hughs. Come on.

You're not looking well, my friend.

Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable?

Better?

See?

I know how to be merciful.

We need more blood.

Lucas, the doctor needs help.

If you had not come to me, Julien might have died.

I owe you a life.

Look at him, Vincent.

Isn't he beautiful?

Catherine saw he was beautiful, too.

I let her hold him just as long as I could.

I'm sorry about Catherine.

She must have been a very special person.

Her death... well...

We all make mistakes.

Of course, it was the doctor who killed her.

What was it you used?

Morphine?

Well, at least the end was painless.

No, it wasn't me.

That's not very convincing, Doctor.

Please.

You told me to kill her!

You told me!

I didn't want to do it.

It was him.

I didn't want to do it.

I swear to you.

A life for a life.

His life is yours.

Please.

Please have mercy.

Catherine begged for mercy, too.

Oh, God...

Oh, no.

Go on, do it.

Do it for her.

Go on, do it.

Do it. Kill him.

Kill him!

No!

No!

No.

Get him out of there.

Vincent...

I always pay my debts.

All right, I got it.

Good. Thanks a lot, Greg.

Listen, we're going to have to move on this.

Get the Commissioner on the horn.

Meet me back at my office in ten minutes, all right?

Good. Bye.

Bingo.

Tiles are Italian made. Turn of the century.

They cost a fortune.

The importer gave us a list of addresses.

Hunter Point, Staten Island,

Westchester, the rest are all Manhattan.

Yeah, so?

So the chopper flew over water.

Montauk Point's too far, it's got to be Staten Island.

Then let's move.

Joe, this guy is going to have an army waiting for you.

Now, it's going to take you hours to get organized,

and by that time he's going to know you're coming.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to do whatever I can.

He's growing stronger.

Maxwell's organizing a raid.

We must evacuate. The sooner the better.

You handle it, Pope.

I've ordered a helicopter,

and your Learjet is standing by at Kennedy for you.

Look at him.

Those bars

are tungsten steel.

Order another generator... in case of emergencies.

If the current should fail...

Just kill him.

Let's go, before the police come.

Police don't concern me.

Forgive me, sir, but which of you is the captive here?

In ancient days...

men ate the hearts of fallen heroes

hoping that their power and strength

would pass into them.

On cold battlefields...

steam would rise from their open chest.

The heart would smoke in your hand...

hot with blood.

Still beating.

Almost as if...

Pope?

I want units here, here and here.

Seal every road that goes near the place.

And keep the civilians back.

We could have heavy resistance.

The city engineer says we got a helipad behind the main house.

Then I want choppers. Nobody gets out.

Got it?

Now, your men have to get over these walls fast.

All right, that's it.

We hit 'em as soon as it gets dark.

Okay, what about the sewer lines?

If you take this branch of the main Castleton Avenue conduit,

it could go... No, it doesn't.

You see, it does not go right through.

Wait a minute. What's this?

This line goes right under the wall.

Oh, yes, that's an old steam main.

It's inactive of course, but I mean, it's merely a pipe.

You know, the diameter's not...

Can I fit?

Barely.

I don't think we have a choice.

Any word from the commissioner?

We got a green light.

Chopper's on the way.

Let's go.

Now, you go straight on for one mile.

Then you turn east; that's right.

Now, the pipes are very corroded,

so try not to get rust in your eyes.

Here, take this.

Godspeed.

The police are coming.

Let them come.

If they find you, they'll kill you.

Or maybe they won't.

Maybe they'll just leave the monster in his cage

for the rest of his life.

Your words have no more power, Gabriel.

You're the only monster here.

Nothing happens by accident.

The woman, the child, that was meant to be.

Our destinies are linked... yours, mine, Julien's.

Do you believe in destiny?

I know the power of love.

There was a girl, she was 16, two years older than I was.

So beautiful. I loved her desperately.

She was the first person I ever killed.

I spent one perfect night in her arms.

Perfection must be cherished, protected.

Such beauty... passion.

I had to keep it pure.

Don't be afraid.

No one will take you from me.

I love you, Julien.

Vincent!

The child is crying.

There's not a lot of time.

Please, just hurry.

Under the building,

Father's waiting.

Hurry.

Thank you.

Do you know what prison is?

A place to grow stronger.

No court will convict me.

Jurors have families, too.

And even if they did,

you can rule the world from a prison cell.

I own nations, Diana.

I'll have the child back...

In the end, I always win.

Not this time, Gabriel.

This is Catherine Chandler's gun.

It has been said that the child is the meaning of life.

The truth of that has never been more apparent to me

than it is on this day when we celebrate the child,

this new life that has been brought into our world.

We welcome the child with love,

that he may be able to love.

We welcome the child with gifts, that he may learn generosity.

And finally, we welcome the child

with a name.

I've named my son "Jacob."
