"The Underneath"

Episode 107 - Part 1
(aired the week of 11/9/1996)
Case # 28-120

Log line: The O.S.I.R investigates what could be a mutant creature lurking - and killing - in the city's sewers.

Synopsis: A French city's murky subways house an unlikely, unwanted threat: a mysterious creature allegedly killing people by pulling them into the dank, threatening underground. Through his initial evidence study, O.S.I.R. zoologist L.Q. Cooper devises the theory that two animals are at work, an alligator and grizzly bear. While the organization eliminates that possibility, it does come up with a similar, yet impossible, idea: the killer could somehow be a mutant cross of the two. Coincidentally, O.S.I.R. chemist Sandra Miles' discovery of a genetic research facility in the area leads the group to wonder if the monster is an experiment gone wrong.

The O.S.I.R comes up against resistance from Rene St. Cyr, a French military officer providing security to them, who urges that the group work toward destroying - rather than capturing - the creature. Her pressure mounts when, after two of her soldiers are murdered, she threatens to pull all military support.

Finally, O.S.I.R. Case Manager Professor Connor Doyle leads the team into the terrifying darkness of the sewers. Armed with only tranquilizer guns, ingenuity and courage, the investigators face down the monster.

"Phantom Limb"

Episode 107 - Part 2
Case # 52-113

Log line: After a farmer loses his arm in an accident, a series of strange occurrences - many seemingly connected to him- happen at his Pennsylvania home. The O.S.I.R. must investigate.

Synopsis: After a hardworking farmer, Matt Peck, loses his arm in a grisly accident, a series of strange occurrences - many seemingly connected to him - happen at his Pennsylvania home.

To determine the cause of the inexplicable events, Case Manager Curtis Rollins and his team set up a surveillance at the farm. MattĒs son, Brad, explains that his father, once so physically active, has been unable to accept the loss. MattĒs wife, Sarah, reveals more startling information: once, when walking with her husband, she stumbled...only to feel an invisible hand steady her.

In a confrontation with Rollins, Matt - angry at the O.S.I.R.Ēs presence - accidentally knocks over a glass of beer. Instead of falling off the table, however, it flies across the room. Caught on surveillance thermal image videotape, the incident reveals a secret energy that shapes itself into a human arm. Even faced with the evidence, though, Matt refuses to believe the action is connected to him.

Although the O.S.I.R. wants to stay and teach Matt how to control the power they believe he possesses, the farmer orders them off his land. Moments before they depart, Matt discovers his grandson, Joshua, hanging helpless from a beam high in the barn. Climbing up to save the childĒs life, Matt must either work with his limited facilities...or believe in, and take control over, his mysterious power.
