"The Hunter"

Episode 110 - Part 1
(aired the week of 11/30/1996)
Case # 63-1136

Log line: A werewolf is suspected in cattle mutilations.

Synopsis: After a farmer, George Collins, claims to have witnessed a frightening creature - half-man, half-wolf - on his Indiana property that might be related to a string of livestock mutilations in the area, his neighbors form a search party to hunt the animal down. As the group sets out after its target in the back woods, one of its volunteers disappears...and is found brutally mauled to death.

Under the direction of Case Manager Professor Connor Doyle, the O.S.I.R. sets up an investigation. Zoologist L.Q. Cooper discovers that hearts were stolen from all the mutilated cattle; he also unearths a set of wolf tracks near the attack area that mysteriously transform into human footprints.

Doyle sets up surveillance on Collins' farm, using a herd of livestock as bait to lure the creature out of hiding. Nothing happens...but, just as everyone is about to agree that the phenomenon will not recur, Sheriff Harrison Reed is viciously killed when he stops to inspect a savagely-attacked cattle carcass alongside the highway.

The O.S.I.R.'s research proves that all the incidents have occurred during a full moon - which means they now have only two days more before the next lunar cycle. Racing against the clock, the investigators don night-vision goggles, handguns and a motion scanner to lure the unknown killer out. But who is the hunter...and who is the prey?

"The Healer"

Episode 110 - Part 2
Case # 96-9121

Log line: A teen is credited with healing powers.

Synopsis: A teenager, Duwayne Morris, appears to miraculously heal severe burn victim Russell Wilson by merely laying hands on the suffering man - and the O.S.I.R. is determined to find out whether the teen's skills are faith or fraud.

Case Manager Professor Connor Doyle assigns an O.S.I.R. team to covertly monitor a so-called "healing fair" with Duwayne in a local barn, arranged by his mother, Marsha. As the 16-year-old performs miracles on all those awaiting his touch, Marsha collects a fee for his services. Suddenly, a local girl - severely injured after falling from a horse - is rushed in for Duwayne's help. As he places his hands on the girl's battered head, she is amazingly healed before numerous speechless witnesses.

The next day, however, Duwayne collapses during another session at the barn. At the hospital, tests reveal that the young man is inexplicably suffering symptoms of all the afflictions he has healed. As the youth quickly fades, the O.S.I.R. must figure out Duwayne's mysterious condition...before his life-saving skills turn into a life-ending tragedy.
