"The Fog"

Episode 118 - Part 1
(aired the week of 4/19/1997)
Case # 55-9146

Log line: A dense fog, mass hallucinations and a serial killer arrive simultaneously on death row.

Synopsis: Hedeon Mishenka, a Russian immigrant and convicted killer renowned for his brutal slaying of 100 people, enters death row at Flatrock Maximum Security Prison. Upon his arrival a mysterious fog shrouds the prison--inmates and prisoners alike begin having hallucinations.

On the night watch, as the strange fog creeps into the prison from outside, prison guard Mark Sullivan believes he sees Mishenka prowling the grounds, and shoots to kill. Upon examining his dead victim, he discovers that he has actually killed prison guard Harvey Kent.

The O.S.I.R. must determine whether Mishenka is somehow controlling the hallucinogenic fog or whether his arrival, the weird fog and the string of strange occurrences are merely coincidental.

With tensions running high and no definitive explanation for the fatal hallucinations, O.S.I.R. Case Manager Doyle authorizes investigator Lindsay Donner to interview the enigmatic Mishenka for clues. As the interview unfolds, the prison is engulfed in a thick, damp cloud of fog which causes the main power generator to short circuit. The ensuing power outage causes a blackout and traps Donner in an interrogation room with Mishenka.

Donner's only hope for survival is that Mishenka's mind is on something other than murder.

"House on Garden Street"

Episode 118 - Part 2
Case # 81-0126

Log line: An apparition appears to a couple under stress.

Synopsis: A young couple, Adam and Lauren Cooke, witness the appearance of a mercurial humanoid entity in various rooms in their home. The trespassing presence maliciously attacks Adam but tenderly seduces his wife Lauren.

The O.S.I.R. find that due to a soured financial situation Adam feels inextricably tied to the home, while Lauren, fearing the entity, wants to abandon the house at any cost. This disagreement and several other difficulties within their marriage put the Cooke's under an enormous amount of stress.

Psychological and physical profiles of Lauren and Adam Cooke indicate nothing out of the ordinary. The historical profile on the house on Garden Street also checks out clean.

An old boyfriend of Lauren's, Mark Zane, surfaces in several places in her O.S.I.R. background check, so the O.S.I.R.s Lindsay Donner visits the flirtatious Zane to gather some information. It turns out that Zane, a musician, is in town for a show and has invites Lauren to see him. When Lauren goes to visit Zane, she sees him with Donner and storms off in a jealous rage. Later, when Donner returns to the Cooke house, she is attacked by the haunting entity.

The O.S.I.R. suspect a connection between the Cooke's emotional stress and Donner's assault by the entity--it seems that Lauren's quickly changing emotions and the uncontrolled psychic energy that accompany them may be the root of the entity that threatens to wreck the Cooke's marriage and home.
