"Anasazi Cave"

Episode 112 - Part 1
Case # 28-8128

Log line: Deaths at an archaeological dig may explain the mystery of the lost Anasazi.

Synopsis: Archaeologist Simon Bonito and his assistants discover the remains of a hut belonging to the ancient Anasazi Indian Tribe in New Mexico. The discovery promises to shed light on the tribe's mysterious disappearance more than three hundred years earlier. Within the hut is a hidden passage to a cavernous chamber. While venturing into the cavern the assitants suffer painful and violent deaths at the hands of some unseen force.

Before the O.S.I.R. comes on the scene, two Disease Control Center agents in biohazard safety suits become the next victims of the mysterious cave. Autopsy reports on all four victims reveal that each suffered massive internal hemorrhaging and rupturing of internal organs. The O.S.I.R. is initially stumped by the deaths because there is no known substance capable of penetrating the biohazard suits worn by the second pair of victims.

Overnight, Bonito dreams of an Indian ancestor who beckons him into the cave. The next day, the O.S.I.R. watches in horror as Bonito, in a trance, approaches and then enters the deadly cavern. An O.S.I.R. operative attempts to retrieve him but dies in the process. Bonito wakes from his trance inside the chamber and realizes that he is free of the violent consequences suffered by the others.

The O.S.I.R. learns that Anasazi tribal folklore tells of a god leading the tribe to a peaceful place in the past and assuring their safety by leaving a spiritual guard at the doorway to the past.

Bonito's new-found connection with his ancestors and his inquiring scientific mind lead him to re-enter the cave laden with O.S.I.R. monitoring equipment. Serving as a human key to this puzzling case everyone wonders if he can unlock the mystery of the Anasazi Cave.

"Devil's Triangle"

Episode 112 - Part 2
(aired the week of 1/25/1997)
Case # 19-9137

Log line: A man claims he was adrift in the Devil's Triangle.

Synopsis: A lawyer and his client set out on a leisurely cruise through the Bermuda Triangle. When the lawyer returns to port without his client he tells authorities that he has been floating aimlessly for weeks with no food or equipment. A quick fact check reveals that the boat set sail only five days earlier and that the client is, indeed, nowhere to be found.

Further investigation reconfirms the five day length of the pleasure cruise gone awry. However, medical and psychiatric examinations of the lawyer and a survey of the boat's condition seem to confirm the lawyer's story that he's been adrift for three weeks and that the boat became almost totally inoperable after sailing into a freak tropical storm.

The Office of Scientific Investigation and Research (O.S.I.R.) suspects that the lawyer may have fabricated the story about the storm and the mechanical trouble to cover up the murder of his client by a Colombian drug cartel. The O.S.I.R. abandons this theory when weather data supports the lawyers claims of a tropical storm in the area. If the storm actually occurred and the lawyer is telling the truth, then his client could still be alive somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle.

Case manager Professor Connor Doyle leads his team into the Bermuda Triangle in search of the truth. En route to the Triangle, Doyle confides to the O.S.I.R.s Lindsay Donner that this case is of personal importance to him. While in the Navy he had an unexplained experience in the Triangle that nearly cost him his life.

Two days drift by before the O.S.I.R. investigative team locates a large, dark mass in the Triangle. They begin to probe the mysterious area for signs of the missing man, though it seems they might find a lot more than they bargained for.
