All language subtitles for Psi-Factor-S1E8

These stories are inspired
by the actual case files

of the Office of Scientific
Investigation and Research.

Any who wish to remember those
that have left us, please rise.

Reeta, what is the meaning of this?

Let's get her to the ante room.

Judaism, one of the oldest
religion in our world culture.

Hebrews were among the first who
recognized for the potential for humans

to be invaded by a negative
external spiritual force.

And yet, after thousands of years, attempting to
comprehend the battle for the soul,

we still seek answers as to why malevolent
entities consume unwilling individuals.

In the case involving Rabbi Rothstein's
synagogue, the OSIR was compelled

to employ Judaism's mystic rituals
in the fight between good and evil.

Let's not jump to conclusions.
We need clarity, not hysteria.

Please, I know what I saw.

In the middle of the prayer for the dead,
she attacks all of us.

Ruben, she's a dybbuk.

Save the old superstitions
for your grandchildren, Carl.

Demons don't visit us in the 20th century.

Look at your neck.
She tried to murder you.

Carl, please.
I'll have it taken care of.

You must perform the
ritual of the Baal Shem.

Cast out the evil in her.
It's your duty as Rabbi.

Don't be so melodramatic.

Do you have a better
explanation for what happened?

No.

But there are others who
understand matters such as these.

Case number 64131,
Case Manager Connor Doyle.

Hours after closing case
file 621-589 in Toronto,

we were contacted by a member

of the Department of Religious
Studies at the University.

We are now investigating
the reported appearance

of an ancient and powerful phenomenon known
as a dybbuk, a Hebrew term for demon.

Professor Doyle?

Sir.

I'm Ruben Rothstein, Rabbi of Beth-Ha.

This is Carl Ohrenbaum of the Board
of Directors of the Synagogue.

Connor Doyle. We came as soon as we heard
from Professor Wolfe at the University.

Rabbi, my team and I would like
to begin a basic inspection.

Talk to the members of the
congregation to witness the attack.

Of course.

Rabbi, are you a specialist
in mystic Judaica?

It's not the central concern of my belief,
but it's a side interest of mine, yes.

Can we get down to business?

Rabbi Rothstein is qualified to deal with
this problem according to our Talmudic laws.

Carl, these people are professional scientists.
We should let them investigate.

Rabbi, do you mind if we have a look around?

Go ahead. Nothing has been
touched since the incident.

Thank you.

Where will we find the
woman who attacked you?

This way.

Her name is Rita Naiman,
a member of our congregation,

though we haven't really seen her at synagogues
since her husband died nearly three years ago.

Do you know anything
about her background?

She and her late husband worked at
the Royal Ontario Museum, I believe.

Research into early Aramaic writings,
ancient scrolls, that sort of thing.

How long has she been unconscious?

A couple of hours.
Hasn't moved a muscle.

Though, it isn't really unconsciousness.

It's as if she's in some
kind of trance-like state.

I take it you have some medical training.

I was a medic in the Israeli army.

How did you sedate her?

Vasovagal syncope.

Made her brain think it had too much blood,
put her out like a light.

Nice trick.

She was completely out of control.
I had to do something.

Rabbi, your contact mentioned something
about the possibility of a dybbuk.

Yeah. It's an ancient superstition.
I prefer to take a more modern approach.

You reported kinetic activity
surrounding the attack.

Biophysical distress amongst the victims.
Superhuman strength?

Yeah. Well, true.

And with no logical explanation,
that's why I contacted your office.

I began to choke. As if all the air
was being sucked out of my lungs.

All of us, all of us were suffocating.

I saw Josh Wise as he was
thrown across the room.

I looked over and saw this woman
standing in front of Ruben.

Staring at him with such poison.

Suddenly, she had him by the throat.

We knew we had to help him, but trying to
restrain her was like fighting ten men.

It took far of us to hold her down.

The strange thing is,
I thought she was trying to say, help me.

Did you find anything that could have
caused the burn mark on the rabbi's throat?

No, nothing so far.

Hendricks and the medical team are working on the
physiological assessments of all the witnesses.

We'll know more when they finish.

Rita Neiman is still semi-conscious,
making it impossible

to collect any detailed data on her
physical or psychological state.

What about her family?

According to her co-workers at the museum,
she has no close relatives.

What was it that she was working on?

Nobody could really tell me for sure.

I recognize the text on
Eastern European Kabbalah

but the ancient Aramaic scrolls,
they were beyond my ability to translate.

Is there any logic to these dybbuk?
I mean, what would it be after?

According to lore, the perfect host.
Traditionally, a young girl.

On-site inspection revealed nothing.

Are the other assessments completed?
Psychological?

All normal.

DEP tests of the witnesses reveal
honest accounts of the incident.

Meaning they believe that
what they saw was real.

And most members of the congregation believe

that what they saw was in some way
a kind of Kabbalistic possession.

Physiological assessments?

The examinations of the bio-functions
was normal on all witnesses.

Rabbi Rothstein sustained a second degree
burn in a localized area on his neck.

Origin?

Unknown.

We found no chemical or energy
traces that could have caused it.

And we still know very
little about the subject.

She's been in this strange state of
semi-consciousness for almost four hours.

After the environmentals are completed, let's
run a full background check on Ms. Naiman.

Medical, employment records, family history,
next of kin, contact the authorities as well.

If she is in fact host to some unnatural,
possibly predatory force,

I don't want to risk taking
her to a public hospital.

Let's see what we can do for her here.

Understood.

Still, all we have is
circumstantial evidence.

It could be simply some neurological
disorder or some form of extreme psychosis.

According to Rabbi Rothstein, there is an
ancient ritual used in cases like this.

The Rite of the Baal Shem. It's used to
cast the dybbuk from innocent host bodies.

Look into this Baal Shem ritual.
Find out exactly what it entails.

Professor Doyle, have you found any
rational explanation for this incident?

Not yet, no.

That's because the whole thing has nothing
to do with scientific tests or theories.

Rita Naiman has been possessed by a dybbuk,
and only we can help her.

Carl, no one has performed a Baal Shem
ritual in this synagogue for over 75 years,

because in every modern case like this,

a rational explanation has been
found for the so-called possession.

Professor Doyle just finished telling
you his team has found nothing.

Our investigation is ongoing.
We haven't tried everything we can yet.

Reuben, Rita Naiman is a member of our shul.
It's our responsibility to help her.

She's mishpucha.

Professor Doyle,
would it interfere with your investigations

if we were to consider
performing the Baal Shem?

My team does need a little more time to
complete her environmental assessment,

but after that we could observe
the ritual as it's taking place.

It's the only logical
course of action, Reuben.

I don't believe logic is at work here, Carl.

But it's our duty to try and help her.

No tox traces, no energy fields.
The place is clean.

How odd.

Het eyes are open,
she seems to be aware of us, but...

Rita !

Rita !

Hold on !

My readings are up, climbing fast.

Where's your point of origin?

It's coming from her.

Her temperature just shot up
to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

I'm picking up hazardous toxins.

Sulfurosoxide, multiple free radicals.

We're climbing into the red zone.

Let's get everyone out of here.

Help me !

Sedate her, now!

It's as if the scans themselves
set off the reaction.

Tox levels are redlining.

Now we got nothing.

It's all normal baselines.

Connor, I'm concerned.

Her condition is going to continue to
deteriorate as long as she remains here.

Tell Rothstein we're ready to
observe the Baal Sham ritual.

Case log update.

After checking into the subject's
personal and professional background,

we still cannot explain Ms.
Naiman's violent behavior.

We are now in the process of observing an
ancient Hebrew exorcism rite, the Baal Sham,

in the hope that it may help
us understand this phenomenon.

Building is secure.

We have you on visuals,

and everyone on biostats.

Kinetic activity is climbing.
I'm reading increasing energy levels.

I can't identify them.

Body temperature is rising fast.

Help me !

Constantine, does anybody copy?

Must be code red.
Keep monitoring the biostats.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

Rabbi Rothstein.

You all right?

You all right?

Yeah. What was that?

You all right?

Secure the premises.

Connor, you all right?

Just a few bruises.

Peter, what happened?

I don't know. He grabbed me and
he said something in Hebrew.

His touch was like a blowtorch.

Get yourself checked out as soon as you can.

Okay, I'm gonna wrap you. Hang on.

We're still getting a reading
on the Rabbi's biostats signals.

So he can't have gone far.

Peter, what's the range
on the biostat remotes?

Two hundred, three hundred meters.

Let's put a monitor in each of the vehicles.

We can track him by triangulating his
signal with a monitor here in the lab.

Police and paramedics are on their way.

Let's divide up into teams of two.
You two, stay here.

Monitor the police radio frequency
and wait for them to arrive.

- Peter, you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

Anton, you ride with me.
Natasha, you go with Peter.

Let's split up and cover
the radius of his signal.

The quicker we find him, the better.

Assuming the dybbuk hasn't
changed hosts again.

What did you mean,
assuming it hasn't changed hosts again?

You think this thing can
change hosts at will?

At will? No, I don't think so.

From what I could find out, the dybbuk
only migrates when the host is dead.

This is Beta One. You copy?

Yes, we copy. Go ahead.

Our signal is breaking up.
Peter, do you have him on your monitor?

Yeah, I still got him.
It appears he's heading toward the lake.

Turn south on Keele Street.

Wait a second. Stop. I see something.

This is Beta Two.

We're proceeding on foot through
the alley at Inglis and McLean.

Copy. We're converging on your position.

We found the talus.

Do not approach him. Wait for backup.

Must be right around here.

Take the east side.

Rabbi?

No, stay back. Stay back.

I don't know how long I can control it.

This is Constantine. I've located the subject in
the west end of the alley at Inglis and McLean.

Constantine, back away from the subject now.

We're on our way.
All units converge on Beta Two's location.

Rabbi, stay calm. Help is coming.

It's too late.

I can feel it in my bones.

The dybbuk doesn't want me.

Stay back, Natasha.

He's struggling with it.

Rabbi?

Natasha!

Are you all right ?

This is Beta Two.

Subject, we've lost subject on Inglis.
He appears to be headed east.

We're pursuing on foot.

This way.

This is Beta Two.
We're now on Chestnut with Inglis.

Subject is down and injured.

Stand back.

Rabbi, can you hear me?

It's gone.

We arrived just after it happened.
He's dead.

Who's Doyle?

That's me.

What happened?

This guy witnessed the whole thing.

The cab hit him dead on, knocked the
poor guy about 15 feet across the street.

Did anyone approach the victim?

Well, yeah, the cabbie jumped out and
ran over to the guy, and so did I.

Sir, may we examine you?

It's just a thermometer.

Sure.

No increase in levels. He's clear.

Where's the driver now?

Rogers, where's that cabbie?

Mike, he's gone.
He said he was going for an ambulance.

I told him to stay put,
then he sucker punched me.

I can't believe it.

Anthony Valenzuela, room 7842.

Access the data bank. Bring up his address.

Constable, we'd like to monitor your
radio frequency to coordinate the effort.

All right, those are my instructions.

It appears to be the same carbon
traces we found at the synagogue.

Apartment 2601. Yep, got it.

Is this information accurate?

Right so.

Please have your people surround this building,
but do not enter until we get there. Let's go.

What makes you think
Valenzuela would go home?

Dybbuk keep search
out for pure souls.

Right, that's why he possessed the rabbi.

Rothstein resisted.

Maybe the dybbuk's looking
for a more malleable host.

Valenzuela has a young daughter.

A hostage situation?

It just got off the police frequency.

It seems Valenzuela spotted the SWAT
team as they got into position.

What else?

At least two hostages.
Situation volatile.

Just hope we can get there before
the situation gets out of control.

And before another transference.

- Professor Doyle?
- Yes?

You'll have to wait here.

What's the situation with Valenzuela ?

- I had to send in a team to this lodge.
- You knew we were en route.

I'm sorry, but he's got two kids in there.
Shots were fired.

Ready.

Drop it now or i'll shoot !

Come on, drop it !

Get those kids out of here.

Come on, you two. Let's go.

I took one bullet in the upper torso.

Did everyone in this building check in?

So far, I got Sergeant Turner
doing a roll call for his team.

Good. I'd like to secure the building
until everyone is accounted for.

You got it.

- How are the children ?
- Temperature normal.

According to Sergeant Turner, there was no
actual direct eye contact with Valenzuela.

At the time of death,
but we're not taking any chances.

Those kids are going to
Toronto Western Hospital.

Ongoing case log entry.

In the aftermath of the hostage situation,

we have yet to isolate another
host and a transient demon.

We still have no method of
dealing with the phenomenon,

except to prevent transference
at the time of the host's death.

This file remains open.

Connor Doyle out.

Where is it today?

This demonic entity capable of moving
from living host to living host.

Does it dwell in someone walking
the streets of your city or town?

Well, the Office of Scientific Investigation
and Research has kept this case open.

And the search continues on an ongoing basis

for this particular powerful and
dangerous supernatural threat.

Totally irresponsible.

Hello? Anyone here?

How can you be so ignorant?

Larkin to Coatsworth.

Larkin to Coatsworth.

Over.

Do you remember issuing an open fire
permit for this area of the park?

Out.

Hey buddy, is this your fire?

Help me.

What's wrong?

My friends, Katie and Perry.

What are you talking about?

In the woods back there.
Everything is dead.

All right, slow down.

What are you doing up here?

We're planting trees. We're tree planters.

Look, we've got an open campfire here.
That's a big no-no.

May I have a look at your ID
and your camping permit, please?

My friends.

I'm going to get them some water.

Give me your ID.

Is this your wallet?

Yeah.

Are you Doug Kilmartin?

Yeah.

This ID says that you're 21 years old.

Uh-huh.

What's happening to me?

What's happening to me?

One of the most intriguing
North American myths

is the quest by Ponce de Leon for
the Fountain of Eternal Youth,

a quest which mankind has
never truly abandoned.

Cosmetics, plastic surgery, there are many
methods man attempts to employ to delay aging.

Today,
scientific researchers seek genetic keys

that could unlock a human lifespan
of 150 years or more.

Well, for Doug Kilmartin,
his was exactly the opposite discovery.

Nothing less than a
fountain of aging and decay.

Found him.

Huh?

Over here.

This is the guy Kilmartin described,
Barry Struthers.

Another 21-year-old?

File number 86126,
case manager Connor Doyle.

After being contacted by Ontario Provincial
Police, we're launching an investigation.

Two men claimed to have aged nearly
50 years following an encounter

with an unexplained zero-growth zone
in the Canadian Northern wilderness.

So we had the OPP run a
check on both their names,

and it turned out that the
second guy we found, Struther,

he'd had a little run-in with
the law when he was younger.

He'd had a break and enter
five years ago when he was 16.

And the guy looks like he's 70, right?

But the thing is, his fingerprints, they actually
match the ones in the Struther kids' file.

When we got Kilmartin to
St. Agatha's Hospital,

he was hysterical, telling us that
there's somebody still out there.

Kilmartin, for a man in his 70s,
is in pretty good shape.

Struther, markedly less so.

But for two men, for 21 as they claim,
they're in trouble.

They found this place in the woods.
Just sand. Nothing growing. A dead zone.

I'm Dave Burton, foreman for this area.

Our crew split up to handle
a bunch of small contracts.

Some stayed back at the base camp,
some moved into this plantation.

That's why the three of them,
just the three of them,

Doug Kilmartin, Barry Struther,
Katie Fitzgerald,

were here on a little Sunday contract.

Tomorrow was supposed to be
the end of their Sundays.

Kilmartin's effective age is 70.
Struther is 85.

With IDs of 21-year-olds.

We're trying to locate their families.

According to the pictures we
took from his helicopters,

it's oval-shaped and just
about 8,000 square meters.

An oasis in reverse.
Desolation in the middle of a living forest.

This rock formation is extraordinary.

Peter, keep your distance until the
initial inspection is completed.

I just want to get a couple of shots.

It appears harmless enough.

It's not that harmless.

12.3 seconds from point of entry
to discovery of the skeleton.

Remarkable.
Where's the aerial video mapping going?

We're working on it.
We shot the zone from multiple angles.

Let's see what you've got so far.

The boundaries of the dead area
appear to be clear and defined.

On one side, there's green growth,
and on the other, nothing.

Enlarge the image on number three.

Pan right.

Come out to the left.

Increase magnification two times.

Five.

Ten.

- It's our missing tree planter.
- I wouldn't be surprised.

Anton, speak with Kilmartin.
See if he remembers what happened.

Right.

Let's start a Tuesday morning, Doug.

The three of you were flown to the site.

Katie, Barry, and me with a
bunch of new seedlings to plant.

What time did you arrive? Approximately.

Six. Six-thirty. Pretty early.

We set up camp.

You said before that you found a
place in the woods, nothing but dirt.

The dead zone. I think I walked in.

- But...
- Did you all go in?

No.

I mean...

I'm sorry.

It's very hard to concentrate these days,
you know?

It's all right, Doug. It's okay.

We'll, uh, we'll start again shortly.

Dr. Hendricks, where are Katie and Barry?

Are they okay?

Your friends aren't doing
as well as you are, Doug.

We need your help.

I want to.

I just don't remember.

All right, let's try the probe POV.

What's that?

With any luck,
the dental records should give us an ID.

The corpse is in a very
advanced stage of decomposition.

It looks like it's been there a while.

We'll know more once we get it out.

Let's take it nice and slow...

The skeleton is Catherine Fitzgerald,
age 21, cause of death unknown.

Our team physician's examination
reveals no specific illness or injury

in either Kilmartin or Strother.

They are suffering from high blood pressure,

but that could be explained by the
stress brought on by their confusion.

Anton?

Strother remains despondent
and unresponsive.

Kilmartin, on the other hand,

presents no abnormalities
other than memory loss.

You mentioned limited and specific amnesia.

Yes, Kilmartin remembers everything vividly

up until his encounter with the anomaly,

and after that it's almost blank.

But that's consistent with the
repression of a traumatic experience.

Is it consistent with a senile delusion?

We saw what happened to the
bird that flew in there.

You mentioned the unusual wrinkling
of Kilmartin and Strother's skin.

Could there be a straightforward
medical explanation?

Progeria, you mean?

That's accelerated aging.

Yeah. It's extremely rare and
invariably begins in early childhood.

And it's a genetic disease,
it's not environmental.

Maybe we found some environmental toxin

that causes spontaneous mutations
in the cell's cycle-control genes.

Perhaps,
but our scans have revealed no toxins.

We've also eliminated several
of the obvious explanations

for the lack of vegetation.

There's no radiation traces,

and the site itself has no past connections
with any toxic substances whatsoever.

Anton, what does DEP testing tell us?

Kilmartin is telling the truth,
as he understands it.

Dr. Gray...

Barry, my purpose here is to investigate,

to help you in any way I can.

But I can't unless you talk to me.

Doc?

Yes, Barry?

I'm going to die, right?

That's an inevitability we all have to face.

But I'm only 21 years old.

Aren't I?

I remember the night before we flew in.

We were sitting around,
talking, the three of us.

I couldn't hear a word she said.

She just looked so beautiful.

I loved her so much.

My name is Sarah Kilmartin.
I'm here to see my son.

Yes, someone's expecting you.

Mrs. Kilmartin, I'm Lindsay Donner.

We spoke on the phone.

I'd like to see Douglas.

Oh, I don't know this man.

He's not my son. Look at him.

You remember Gypsy?

You remember the day Gypsy
stole Mr. Telford Sandman?

Gypsy was our dog, purebred German shepherd.

Mr. Telford lived four houses down.

He'd caught this 30 pound salmon.

Well, I guess Gyp went over for a visit.

Because the next thing we knew, he was
burying the damn thing in the backyard.

I must have been about six years old.

I remember saying to you,

"I guess we have to tell Mr.
Telford the truth now, don't we?"

You said,

"Maybe we can just keep this our secret.

Nobody ever has to know.
Except us."

Hi, Mom.

I want you to relax.

And just let the light play on you.

You'll feel sleepy.

File update.

Douglas Kilmartin, effective age 70, appears
to be the son of Sarah Kilmartin, age 45.

Hendricks is attempting another regressive
hypnosis session with Kilmartin,

in an effort to shed some light on
what exactly happened to himself,

Barry Strother and Katie Fitzgerald.

Now...

Doug, I want to go back to Tuesday.

It's eight o'clock in the morning.
Where are you?

We're...

in the woods.

Are the three of you together?

I'm alone.

Katie and Barry have gone on ahead.

I can hear them whispering to each other.

What do you see?

She kissed him right there in the woods.

Now she's gone on ahead by herself.

Hey guys, come check this place out.

Wow, it's wild !

Come on, Barry.

I've never seen anything like it.

What do you think that...

I don't know.

It's an area.
There's... nothing alive at all.

Is Katie in the zone?

Yes.

She wants us to follow her in.

What are you guys waiting for?

Chicken?

It's really freaky.

Just laughing like being paranoid.

So I go in.

- Oh my God.
- What is it ?

She's changing, Katie. She's changing.

Barry?

- Barry, what is happening to me ?
- Katie !

Barry !

This has got to be a dream.

This can't be real.

- Doug!
- Let's get out of here !

Now!

But Katie...

Move it! It's too late.

I'm trying to run. I can hardly lift my leg.

I've got to get out.
I have to get some help.

I left them behind.

I left Barry behind, and Katie...

Case file update.

Our medical team is searching for ways
to reverse the effects of the hazard.

But we have been unable to isolate the means
by which it triggers the aging process.

We've done an aerial geodetic survey
using infrared and microwave technology.

There's no evidence of any unusual
geothermic activity or geomagnetic fields.

And still no traces of hazardous
materials or toxic gases.

So in other words,
we still have no idea what's causing it.

Not yet, but...

The probe itself isn't triggering
any reaction from the hazard.

So, whatever it is, it only affects the
biochemical nature of living organisms.

A bioreactive phenomenon is quite possible.

And let's try to pinpoint exactly why.

Connor.

What is it?

I've been reviewing some of
the preliminary interviews.

Listen to this.

I remember hearing stories
about it when I was a kid.

Rumors about a bad place in the woods.

A place where nothing lives.

Stories about some of our tribal
members who just disappeared.

This much we already know.

Horizontally, the zone covers an
area just under 8,000 square meters.

We've mapped it by a helicopter and charted
the height at which the disintegration begins.

Elliptical. Which could suggest some
sort of energy patterned phenomenon.

Yeah, but the configuration's unstable.
We're picking up slight fluctuations.

Well, what if we were to chart these
fluctuations over a period of hours?

That's a good idea.
See if the pulses are consistent.

- It's almost like...
- Just a second, Lindsay,.

The hospital just contacted us.

It's Strother.

I'm sorry.

We'll have to do an autopsy, of course.

But I think it's simply
generalized systemic atrophy.

Come on, man. Speak English!

Old age. He died in his sleep.

He was only 21.

Doug...

A week ago, I was a young man.

Hell, Katie and Barry were alive.

Now look at us!

We're looking to reverse the process, Doug.

We're trying our best.

Oh, good.
I got plenty of time to hang around.

Spare me the science lesson.

Look,
we've got people working around the clock.

It's just that this thing is...

My whole life has been stolen from me.

It's not fair.

No, it's not fair.

But let me tell you, it wasn't fair when...

When my brother found out that he
had an operable cancer last year.

You and Jerry are now
effectively the same age.

Only at most he has two years left.

You might just have another two decades.

Look, I'm sorry about your brother.

At least he had 30 years. I didn't.

Secondly, if Katie and Barry just died,

how do you know I might
have another two decades?

You're right. I don't.

And I doubt that we can
recover the years you lost.

Only you can decide what to do
with the time you have left.

We've already lost one subject,
Barry Strother.

Time's running short. Any theories?

The phenomenon could be extraterrestrial.

That's why it's not reacting
to Earth-based technology.

Or maybe it's just not reacting to
any known Earth-based technology.

Meaning?

It could be some as-of-yet
unspecified geophysical phenomena

that sub-atomically accelerates
all form of living matter.

Conceivably.

Or it could be a rare mutated vortex

that absorbs concentrated life-form energy.

I mean, that would be consistent with the
results of the physiological assessments.

Or maybe the answer lies in
another direction completely.

The fluctuations could be
caused by almost anything.

Changes in wind patterns?

What I found, if you speed up the sequence,

it almost replicates
breathing as if it were alive.

Well, I guess you won't have to worry
about how I'll turn out when I grow up.

Good luck.

Thanks, Doc, for doing what you could.

Look after him. We'll be in touch.

That's a hell of a way to live
out the rest of your days.

Probably die before his mother does.

Professor Doyle.

I'm here, sir.

Professor Doyle, I'm responding to
your request for additional analysis

of the phenomenon in file number 86126.

Thanks for getting back
to us so quickly, sir.

Well, unfortunately, government
officials have already asked us to design

and implement a method of sealing
off the hazard permanently,

effective immediately.

But sir,
we're just beginning to make some headway

as to understanding this phenomenon.

Oh, I realize that.

But priority number one is
the protection of human life.

With all due respect, sir,

we need to know exactly what
this phenomenon is about.

Who knows how much we might
be able to learn from it?

We've reviewed the data
provided to this point.

It is final.

I'm sorry, Connor.

I'm just passing on what
we've already decided.

Yes, of course.

Final case log entry.

As per your instructions and following
consultation with government officials,

a giant cage of steel rebar has been
constructed to encase the hazard,

lowered into place by helicopter,

and covered with tons of pour concrete.

Geophysical anomaly,
paranormal manifestation, or alien bio-force?

The answer lies hidden forever in a
concrete vault, no longer a threat.

At last report, Doug Kilmartin
was working at a crisis center,

counseling trauma victims and
living each day to its fullest.

I'm Dan Aykroyd for Psi Factor.
