Episode 9: Veritas

When renegade covert operatives murder fellow agent William Ticknor (DEAN HAGOPIAN) because he refused to relinquish a film reel containing incriminating evidence against them, Sara becomes involved in an intricate deception and conspiracy that threaten the lives of both her and Gabriel. After Sara meets with her friend FBI agent Dick Arness (PATRICK GARROW) to seek help with the case, Arness is mysteriously killed--and the FBI believes Sara is to blame. With Gabriel's help, Sara locates the hidden film, becoming the next target of the assassins. The spirit of a slain U.S. President appears to Sara in her dreams, offering her encouragement, guidance and a warning of dangers to come. Danny questions Jake's loyalty when Jake appears to ally himself with the FBI agents who want to arrest Sara. Meanwhile, Nottingham finds a photo album that reveals hints of Irons' secret past. With the FBI and covert operatives pursuing her, Sara must use the Witchblade to save herself, at the risk of revealing its powers.
