"[Banging on door]" " Vincent." " Yeah." "We need you to see something." "Leave The Cape." "We need the cop." " Who's Janet Peck?" " Rollo knew her." "We dated two months back." "Real sweet girl." "They found her body a couple days ago up by where she worked." "We think she was strangled." "But the family's real religious so they didn't do an autopsy." " The funeral was yesterday." " And someone dug her up today." "No." "She did that herself." "That's scratch marks on the inside of the box." "Blood." "Broken fingernail." "She's clawed her way out." "That's impossible." "That's what the evidence is telling me." "[Cell phone rings]" " They found Janet." " Alive or dead?" "We're talking about half the developable waterfront in Palm City." "Underlying the largest port in the Western hemisphere." "That's why I'm paying you $7 billion for it." "The price is not what we're worried about." " What Patrick is saying" " What is Patrick saying?" "In fact, why is Patrick saying anything?" "I am not, to the best of my knowledge, buying a prison." "The ports fall into the jurisdiction of the port authority." "That's my bailiwick." "Ark transports weapons," "I want to know who's gonna inspect the ships." " The customs police." " Ark is the customs police." "So let me just get this straight." "You're gonna check your own passports and then set sail?" "Do I have that right?" "Maybe I'll just take my money to a more welcoming city like Kyoto." "Well, Japan is 17 hours ahead." "Would you like to use my phone?" "Come off the horse, Patrick." "Live down here with the rest of us." "We're done here." "In 48 hours, I pull the offer." "You, Mr. mayor, better decide if you work for your constituents or for your secretary." "Believe me when I tell you I will kill this deal." "Are you--?" "Take a bite of your sandwich." "We've got an audience." "I asked for Orwell." "The man himself." "Orwell didn't save you from red dart frog toxin." "I did." "Start talking." "These are Fleming's clients." "He wants to find a cheaper way to send the stuff he's producing-- a chemical, biological, God knows what--overseas." "His solution, he wants to buy his own port." "Turn Palm City into a narco-terrorist way station." "So I've been combing the statutes." "You know, looking for anything to throw a wrench into his application." "Environmental hazards." "Zoning." "There's nothing." "It's spotless." "But then I looked at chain of title." "The Chandler family owned this land, but they were all killed in a plane crash in 1976." "No heirs." "The city set up shop without ever actually purchasing the land." "And hidden in the back of the title insurance file," "I found this." "Conrad Chandler?" "Who's that?" "No one." "Legally speaking, he doesn't exist." "No birth certificate." "No social security number." "But then I found this." "Look at this." "Just before the plane crash," "Chandler's wife was eight months pregnant." "And then all of the sudden, there's no baby." "Papers are speculating she had a miscarriage." "Uh, the baby had a terrible disease." "He was kidnapped and held for ransom." "So what am I thinking?" "What if there was a kid?" "What if out there somewhere, as we speak, there is an heir?" "Find Conrad Chandler." "Give him his rightful inheritance." "Kills Fleming's bid to buy the port." "We'll post this live on the site in an hour." "No, wait." "Hold on." "Just--really?" "Is that--is that-- is that necessary?" "A loud public call is the best way to find him if he's out there." "I get your concern for your safety." "Fleming sees this, you'll have reason to be." "Am I posting this or not?" "Oh, man." "Oh, man, it's her." "What did she do?" "What did she do?" "Easy." "I can talk to her." "Janet." "Baby, it's Rollo." "Hey." "The last time I saw you, you were singing karaoke at 2:00 a.m." "Total Eclipse of the Heart." "Remember?" "Does this bus go to the parade?" "The what?" "No." "No parade." "Come on." "No!"

"We put her in a coffin." "She wasn't dead, Rollo." "I've seen this before." "In sub-saharan Africa." "Especially in Haiti." "It's a mix of a synthetic neurotoxin and a more natural component like the venom of a puffer fish." "It causes paralysis and a deep, suggestive state." "You could tell the victim of a neurotoxin to jump off a bridge and they'd say "yes, sir." "Where would you like me to land?"" "Initially, it slows the vital signs so completely that to the outside eye, well, you might as well be dead." "I know that feeling." "The name she said." "You said you knew it." "Every precinct in Palm City has a file called "The Lich."" "It's kind of like having a file called "the boogeyman."" "If there was ever a particularly awful, unsolved murder, a ritual killing, a kidnapping that was so strange it seemed supernatural, it landed in that file." "And there were rumors-- scary rumors of a cult." "A bunch of fanatical followers." "Like I said, it's just the boogeyman." "Ain't no boogeyman." "Two cons from owl island told me about some psycho with a face like a corpse." "He hired them to rob some hospital or something." "They struck out." "He took a finger off each of their hands." "I don't like this, Max." "Voodoo is not my speed." "She needs a doctor, Max." "No." "What she needs is a surgeon." "A surgeon?" "What kind of surgeon?" "Surgeon of the mind." "Neurotoxin's a blunt tool." "The girl is trapped inside her own psyche." "We have to get in and get her out." "Hey." "Dana." "Come get a drink with us."

" No." "I--well..." "Okay." "My legs don't work too well." "That window has a breeze." "It's not really a breeze." "It's just a small shift in air pressure." "How long have you been here?" "Ronald, is it?" "Uh, yes." "Not--not so long I'm getting out soon." " Lindbergh baby." " Charles, Jr." "He was 20 months old when he was taken from his family." "Time enough to crawl, then walk." "Know your mother's face." "Your father's voice." "I don't understand why they call it a tragedy." "20 months with the people that love you." "That wouldn't be so bad." "That wouldn't be so bad at all." "I have it on good authority that Conrad Chandler is here." "That this is his room number." "No, please!" "It took me a long time-- to collect those."

"This attack you're on about, what is the source of your information?" "We had a tip from The Cape, sir." "The omnipresent cape." "Has it occurred to you, Chief Voyt, that The Cape is the terrorist?" "Instead of trying to shut down my parade, you should be properly protecting it by arresting The Cape." "And I'm open to that, sir." "But you have to recognize that this threat is real." "You are "open to it"?" "No." "You will do it." "Or you can leave your gun and badge on the table." " Kill him." " Go away." "Kill them all." "[Laughter]" "[Door creaks]" " I don't mean to stare." " That's all right." " This is a strange day." " This is a good day." "I make plans." "I make a lot of plans in my mind." "I rely on my plans." "You are not in my plan." "And I'm--I'm staring at you because everyone in here looks so broken and you look so strong." "Looks can be deceiving." "Are these yours?" "No." "Please don't look at those." "I'd really prefer you didn't." "They're beautiful." "You really understand how Palm City's changed over the years." "Anyone can see how it's changed 'cause of him." " Because of who?" " Peter Fleming." "He's a criminal." "He's dismantling everything my father created." "Fleming wants the ports to move drugs and bombs and the people just let him do it." "Blind like sheep." "They'll follow anyone with a loud enough voice." "You have a voice too, Conrad." "You could stop him." "You could turn these blueprints into real places." "Now that--that's unkind." "I have spinal degeneration from the beatings." "I have tremors from the restraints they put me in at night." "I have bad vision, two charcoal pencils, and one torn hospital bracelet." "But I have no delusions." "To be an heir, one has to be born." "According to the law, I wasn't." "There's a record of birth." "It just needs to be registered with the city clerk's office." "If your hospital bracelet number matches the number on the record, gets you in the door." "DNA tests will be conclusive." "You know that feeling when you're on a train, you see the train next to you start moving, but it's not moving, you're the one that's moving?" "You're the one in motion." "I didn't plan for this." "Have you been on a train?" "It's a passage from tolstoy." "Why are you doing this for me?" "Because you're not the only one who's an orphan." "[Cell phone dials]" "Orwell, it's me." "I need you to tell me about this Conrad Chandler thing." "I got some questions of my own." "So, uh, get me back, okay?" " Bad energy everywhere." " [Coughs]" "Dude, it's like a forest fire in here." "It's sage." "Breathe it in." "The ancient Aztecs did." "Yeah." "Look what happened to them." "He represented the Chandler estate." "He was their lawyer." "Who was?" "Henry Dawson." "He's one of the unsolved murders that ended up in the Lich file." "He was the estate lawyer for the Chandler family." "That's the city founders." "Now, the Lich is targeting the founder's day parade." "There's a connection here." "But what?" "[Vibrating] What the hell was that?" "Dude, relax." "That's my phone." "[Beep] Yeah." "It's Chief Voyt." "We found the truck." "Freeze!" "Move, move, move!" "Go ahead, now!" "All right, show me your hands!" "You're under arrest." "Cuff him in the front." "I want to see his hands." "Mr. Fleming wants me to deliver him personally." "Why am I not surprised?" "I want you to haul this truck in, dust it for prints." "I want a toxicology on the tank." "Take him to the car." "Get down." "Go ahead." "Lose the cuffs." "You're welcome." "What do you want, a "thank you"?" "For what?" "For wasting time?" "For giving the suspect an hour head start so you can show off to your boys?" "Hey, I got a lot of eyeballs on me." "Dealing with all kinds of things you couldn't begin to understand." "I understand the parade starts in two hours." "I've got every unit on the ground." "Got three layers of checkpoints at every intersection." "It's like the damn green zone in there." "Nothing that isn't supposed to be there is getting in there." "Look, they knew we saw the truck." "They've obviously changed their plans." "It could be a gardening truck or backpacks-- wait." "Go back." "You said nothing that isn't supposed to be there." " Yeah." "So?" " Turn the car around." "Trust me." "[Tires screech]" "[Footsteps]" "Join us." "Watch his hands." "[Handcuffs fasten]" "Conrad." "Are you all right?" "I'm perfect." "Kidnappers didn't bring me to this place." "My mother did." "Why the Chandler family?" "You hit their parade." "You kill their lawyer." "Why?" "The dead will rise." "The, uh, specialists call it morgellons leiche." "Which means the, uh, skin of the dead." "But I'll let you in on a little secret." "The dead can rise." "He has risen to punish the traitors." "To claim his birthright." "This guy's dosed." "Look at his eyes." "Hey." "Who?" "Who has risen?" "Conrad Chandler." "The Lich?" "She dumped me here." "Gave me two orderlies who strapped me to the bed, burned me with cigarettes." "They gave me a new name." "They call me the Lich." "But a smart boy knows how to wait." "A smart boy knows where they keep the drugs." "Makes potions." "The employees here regret their behavior now." "They're atoning for their sins." "Especially the medical director, Preston Holloway." "We've missed it." "We've missed everything." "They said when my mother first laid eyes on me, she didn't stop screaming for two days." "When will you stop screaming, my darling?"
