PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal (1996–2000): Season 3, Episode 10 - Chango - full transcript
MITCHELL?
PRESERVED ME,
O GOD,
FOR IN THEE
DO I PUT MY TRUST.
WE SHARE THE GRIEF
OF MITCHELL'S MOTHER,
HIS FRIENDS,
AND HIS COLLEAGUES.
MISS KANIKA NAZARIO
WOULD LIKE TO PLAY
A PIECE OF MUSIC
IN TRIBUTE
TO MITCHELL.
WHO'S THAT?
WE ALL GRIEVE
IN OUR OWN WAY
AND I ASK THAT
WE RESPECT
MISS NAZARIO'S
REQUEST.
*
MITCHELL,
YOU MAY HAVE LEFT US
IN BODY,
BUT YOUR SPIRIT
SURROUNDS AND PROTECTS US.
IBAE BAYE T'ORUN.
MITCHELL?
*
ELEOA, WE7LA3AoS
MUCH OF LATIN AMERICA BELIEVES
IN THE TENETS OF SANTERIA.
THE POWER OF THIS RELIGION
IS UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED,
RESPECTED AND FEARED,
AS WE SEE IN THE FOLLOWING CASE.
MITCHELL.
THANK YOU.
YOU GAVE US QUITE A SCARE THERE,
BUDDY.
MITCHELL?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
HI.
MY NAME'S
PETER AXON.
I WORK
WITH MITCHELL.
KANIKA?
WHERE'S KANIKA;
IS SHE HERE?
SHE WAS.
SHHH, REST.
PETER,
THEY THOUGHT
I WAS DEAD.
I COULD SEE
AND HEAR,
BUT WHEN I TRIED
TO MOVE--
NOTHING.
I THOUGHT
I WAS SCREAMING,
BUT NO SOUND
CAME OUT.
I PRAYED THAT
THEY WOULD REALIZED
THAT I WAS IN HERE
BEFORE
THEY BURIED ME ALIVE.
IT'S OKAY, NOW.
*
THE DOCTOR SAID IT WAS
A HEART ATTACK, BUT IT WASN'T.
YOU MAY HAVE
A SLIGHT ARRHYTHMIA.
WHEN YOU COLLAPSED,
DID YOU FEEL
A CONSTRICTING, VICE-LIKE PAIN;
A CRUSHING PRESSURE
ON THE CHEST?
NO.
NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN;
LOOK, I'M FINE NOW.
YOU'RE STILL RUNNING
A TEMPERATURE.
I'LL TAKE
AN ASPIRIN.
RIGHT NOW,
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.
YOU'RE PART OF THE O.S.I.R.,
YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE
HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.
WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED
WAS REALLY EXTRAORDINARY.
IF YOU'RE EXPECTING ME TO
DESCRIBE THE CLASSIC BLACK VOID,
LONG TUNNEL,
BRIGHT LIGHT SCENARIO,
YOU'RE WASTING
YOUR TIME.
SO, IT WASN'T
AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE?
I WAS TRAPPED INSIDE MY BODY,
ALRIGHT?
I COULDN'T MOVE,
I COULDN'T BLINK.
HOW MANY TIMES
DO I HAVE TO GO OVER THIS?
I WASN'T DEAD.
MITCHELL?
WHERE YOU GOING?
I'M MEETING KANIKA.
WE STILL GOT
STUFF TO DO.
NO THANKS,
I'M PUNCHING OUT.
SHE MUST BE
SOMETHING SPECIAL.
SHE IS.
A GUY LIKE ME DOESN'T EXPECT
TO FIND SOMEONE LIKE HER.
WHERE DO YOU
FIND THE TIME?
I DIDN'T, SHE WAS ONE
OF MY RESEARCH CONTACTS.
YOU KNOW
HOW THEY SAY,
WHEN YOU MEET THE RIGHT ONE,
YOU JUST KNOW?
THAT'S
WHAT IT WAS LIKE.
YOU EVER FELT THAT?
WELL, YEAH,
ONCE OR TWICE.
I WAS ENGAGED
BACK HOME.
WHERE'S SHE NOW?
SHE'S BACK HOME.
YOU SHOULD
LOOK HER UP.
THANKS, PETER,
FOR BEING AROUND.
COMPANY MEN
GOTTA STICK TOGETHER.
I'M NOT A COMPANY MAN
ANYMORE.
I QUIT.
HOW CAN YOU
MISDIAGNOSE DEATH?
THAT BOOSTS MY CONFIDENCE
IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
DON'T LOOK AT ME;
HE WAS D.O.A. AT THE HOSPITAL.
IN THE 36 HOURS BETWEEN
THE HOSPITAL AND HIS FUNERAL,
NOBODY SAW HIM BREATHE;
NO ONE DETECTED A PULSE?
DEATH CERTIFICATE INDICATES
HEART FAILURE.
AT 34?
LUCKY FOR MITCHELL
THEY NEVER DID AN AUTOPSY.
MORE THAN JUST LUCK,
HIS FAMILY REFUSED PERMISSION.
IT CONTRAVENES
CONSERVATIVE JEWISH TRADITION.
THERE A CASE FILE?
DOUBT IT,
JUDGING FROM THE FUNERAL.
SO, TECHNICALLY,
NO ONE'S CALLED US IN.
MITCHELL DID
WHEN HE CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD.
HE'S A FRIEND;
SOUNDS LIKE
YOU GOT IT COVERED.
MAYBE I'LL PLAN
A VACATION.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
LIFE IS SHORT,
PETE.
ASK YOUR FRIEND,
MITCHELL.
MITCHELL KLEINMAN WAS STUDYING
THE MYSTERIES OF LUKUMI,
BETTER KNOWN AS
SANTERIA.
SANTERIA
IS A BLEND OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM
AND THE RELIGION
OF THE YORUBA PEOPLE.
WESTERNERS CONFUSE IT
WITH VOODOO BUT IT'S UNRELATED.
WAS HE WORKING
A SPECIFIC CASE?
NO,
JUST ROUTINE RESEARCH.
CASE MANAGER?
SHARLOW.
ONLY SHE'S SEND AN OPERATIVE
INTO THE FIELD FOR NO REASON.
SHE ALWAYS HAS HER REASONS
ALBEIT, NOT GOOD ONES.
SHE'S IMPOSSIBLE.
SOME MANAGERS
JUST REQUIRE SPECIAL HANDLING.
MATT, THE BUNNY
COMES OUT OF THE HOLE,
AROUND THE TREE
AND BACK INTO
THE HOLE.
HERE'S
MITCHELL'S RESEARCH.
IT DOESN'T EXPLAIN
HIS APPARENT DEATH.
I'LL TALK TO HIS GIRLFRIEND
IN LITTLE CUBA.
LET ME KNOW
WHAT YOU FIND.
SOMEBODY'S SHOULD
TALK TO SHARLOW
ABOUT WHY HER TEAM
WASN'T AT THE FUNERAL.
LET ME KNOW
WHAT YOU FIND.
MATT,
THAT DUTY FALLS ON
THE CASE MANAGER.
SINCE, I'M A LOWLY
CHIEF SCIENCE ANALYST...
I WAS GONNA TAKE THE AFTERNOON
OFF AND GO SAILING.
SHE COULD HELP YOU
WITH YOUR KNOTS;
OR NOT.
50 LASHES.
SHE'S OUT IN RICHMOND.
HE WAS 34.
YOU DIDN'T THINK A HEART ATTACK
WAS UNUSUAL?
KAROSHI, WHAT THE JAPANESE CALL
A STRESS-RELATED HEART ATTACK.
MITCHELL
FIT THE PROFILE.
YOU MISSED
HIS FUNERAL.
I WAS ON ASSIGNMENT.
OUT OF TOWN?
NO, LOCAL CASE,
TURNED OUT TO BE A HOAX.
86 PERCENT ARE;
WHAT ABOUT YOUR TEAM?
I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU RUN YOUR SHIP,
BUT IF I'M BUSY,
SO ARE MY PEOPLE.
YOU MUST BE RELIEVED HE'S ALIVE;
HE CAN GET BACK TO WORK.
I PUT MITCHELL ON EXTENDED
STRESS LEAVE 2 MONTHS AGO.
I THOUGHT YOU HAD HIM
RESEARCHING SANTERIA.
NO, NOT ON MY CLOCK.
*
WHY DON'T YOU TALK
TO MITCHELL?
WE HAVE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM
THAT NIGHT?
DID HE EAT ANYTHING
UNUSUAL?
I DON'T THINK SO.
DID HE DRINK ANYTHING;
TAKE ANY DRUGS?
NO; I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT HAPPENED.
WE WERE DANCING
AT THE RUMBA.
THE STREET PARTY?
NO, THE RUMBA
IS A SANTERIAN CEREMONY.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
IT'S ABOUT
GOOD AND EVIL.
IT'S A CALL TO OUR ANCESTORS
TO WATCH OVER US.
OKAY, SO ONE MINUTE HE'S DANCING
AND THE NEXT HE DROPS DEAD?
IT MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE A SHOCK
TO SEE HIM COME ALIVE AGAIN.
I ONLY FELT RELIEF
AND JOY.
THERE'S NO WAY
TO DESCRIBE IT.
IT WAS MIRACULOUS.
THEN WHY DID YOU
LEAVE THE CHAPEL
WITHOUT EVEN
TALKING TO HIM?
ALL THE DOCTORS
AND THE PEOPLE--
IT WAS TOO BUSY.
THEY ARRIVED
AFTER YOU LEFT.
IT WAS CROWDED.
I KNEW
I WOULD SEE HIM LATER.
I LOVE HIM.
WE'RE GOING
TO GET MARRIED.
*
*
*
*
HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO CALL.
WHEN I DIDN'T HEAR
FROM HIM,
I GOT WORRIED.
I WANTED
TO SEE MY SON.
LOOK WHAT SHE DID
TO HIM!
*
*
*
*
*
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY MITCHELL
RECOVERED LAST TIME, RABBI.
WE HOPE THAT IF WE CAN DUPLICATE
HIS EXPERIENCE EXACTLY,
HE MAY RECOVER
AGAIN.
IF HE'S STILL ALIVE,
WHY AM I CONDUCTING
A FUNERAL SERVICE?
IT'S ALL WE HAVE
TO GO ON.
WE HAVE TO PROCEED
EXACTLY AS WE DID BEFORE.
ALRIGHT.
[ Donner
I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK
SHE WOULDN'T#A SHOW.
MRS. KLEINMAN,
I'M SO SORRY.
SHE SHOULD BE SORRY.
*
*
*
O GOD,#A FULL OF COMPASSION,
WHO DWELLS ON HIGH,
GRANT TRUE REST
UPON THE WINGS OF SHECHINAH,
IN THE EXALTED SPHERES--
WITCH!
YOU KILLED HIM!
WITCH!
NO, NO.
A WITCH?
WHAT HELEN VIEWS AS WITCHCRAFT
WAS SANTERIA.
MITCHELL'S BODY WAS LAID OUT
WITH RITUAL OBJECTS
IN A CLEANSING CEREMONY;
THE CANDLES, THE AMULET,
POWERED EGG SHELL.
WHAT KILLED HIM;
NO IDEA.
WE WON'T FIND OUT UNTIL WE GET
PERMISSION FOR AN AUTOPSY.
LINDSAY,
TALK TO HIS MOTHER.
SHE'S LOST HIM,
AGAIN,
I DON'T THINK
SHE WANTS TO TALK TO ANYONE.
IT MIGHT HELP IF SHE FINDS OUT
WHAT A HAPPENED TO HIM,
GIVE HER PEACE.
PETE,
I'M SORRY
ABOUT MITCHELL.
YEAH, I JUST WISH
WE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING.
PICK UP
WHERE HE LEFT OFF.
GO TO THE MARKET,
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND.
YEAH,
OKAY.
YOU LOOKING
FOR KANIKA?
SHE'S GONE.
*
*
*
NO, THANKS.
HAVE YOU SEEN
THIS WOMAN?
KANIKA NAZARIO.
NO?
OKAY,
THANKS.
*
WE'VE ALREADY HAD
THE FUNERAL.
MITCHELL
IS AT REST.
IF WE DON'T EXAMINE
HIS BODY,
WE'LL NEVER BE SURE
WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE MURDERED
MY SON.
HIS FACE WAS PAINTED
WITH ANIMAL BLOOD.
I KNOW KANIKA'S SPIRITUAL
PRACTICES MAY SEEM UNUSUAL.
IN MANY RELIGIONS,
BLOOD REPRESENTS LIFE:
PASSOVER,
COMMUNION.
SANTERIA
IS NO DIFFERENT.
KANIKA
IS A SANTERA,
A SPIRITUAL ADVISOR.
I DON'T CARE
WHAT SHE IS.
MRS. KLEINMAN,
WHY DID YOU CALL US
WHEN YOU FOUND MITCHELL'S BODY?
MITCHELL GAVE HIS LIFE
TO THE O.S.I.R.
HE TRUSTED YOU.
THEN LET US FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENED.
BASED ON THE EXTERNAL EXAM,
I SEE NOTHING UNUSUAL.
THE SYMPTOMS KANIKA DESCRIBED
SUGGEST BACTERIAL MENINGITIS.
THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT
WITH HIS RAPID DEGENERATION.
DEATH CAN OCCUR
WITHIN 24 HOURS.
YOU'RE SURE HE'S DEAD
THIS TIME?
POSITIVE.
IT'S YOUR LAW SUIT.
STARTING Y-INCISION.
*
WHAT COULD CAUSE THAT?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
GIMME A SWAB.
WOW.
*
12, THESE BIRDS
AREN'T WORTH 6!
KANIKA?
I'LL TAKE HIM.
WHAT ELSE
DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
MITCHELL ISN'T EVEN BURIED YET
AND YOU'RE SHOPPING.
DID HELEN SEND YOU?
NO.
PETER, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME
ABOUT MITCHELL'S DEATH.
WHAT WERE THOSE RITUAL OFFERINGS
YOU LEFT HIM?
YOU HAVE YOUR RELIGION
AND I HAVE MINE.
ACTUALLY,
I'M NOT RELIGIOUS.
DID YOU WISH FOR MITCHELL
TO RETURN AT THE FUNERAL?
OF COURSE.
THEN YOU BELIEF IN SOMETHING,
PETER.
KANIKA.
HELP ME OUT HERE,
I'M TRYING
TO PIECE THIS TOGETHER.
I WAS TRYING TO SAVE HIM,
PETER.
THE SHRINE I MADE FOR MITCHELL
WAS MY OFFERING TO CHANGO.
WHAT IS THAT,
A GOD?
NO,
IT'S AN ORISHA.
IT'S MORE LIKE
A SPIRIT--
PATRON OF FIRE,
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
WHAT WAS THAT SYMBOL
ON MITCHELL'S FOREHEAD.
CHANGO'S
DOUBLE-HEADED AXE.
IT'S TO PROTECT HIM.
FROM WHAT?
I WAS TOO LATE.
KANIKA IS FRIGHTENED.
MAYBE SHE JUST KNOWS MORE
THAN SHE'S TELLING.
BACKGROUND SHOWS
NOTHING OF NOTE,
EXCEPT SHE DIVORCED HER HUSBAND
ABOUT THE SAME TIME
SHE MET MITCHELL;
HE'S A MUSICIAN,
NAME'S OLAVO LOPEZ.
COULD BE THE JEALOUS TYPE,
IT'S WORTH ASKING.
I'M MEETING KANIKA
AT THE RUMBA TONIGHT.
NOT A BAD GIG FOR
A LOWLY CHIEF SCIENCE ANALYST.
JUST FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
BE CAREFUL, OKAY;
I DON'T WANT YOU DOING
THE DEAD MAN'S SHUFFLE.
I'LL BE BACK
IN A COUPLE HOURS.
*
YOU SEE THAT MAN
TAPPING THE STICKS TOGETHER?
THE CLAVE PLAYER?
HE SETS
THE RHYTHM AND THE TEMPO
FOR THE REST OF THE BAND.
WITHOUT HIM,
THE MUSIC WOULD FALL TO CHAOS.
HE'S VERY GOOD.
HE'S THE KEY TO THE RUMBA.
WHAT DOES OLAVO PLAY?
YOUR EX-HUSBAND;
WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION HIM?
I HAVE BROTHERS,
YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THEM?
HE KNOW ABOUT MITCHELL?
IF OLAVO THINKS HE CAN SCARE ME,
HE'S WRONG.
HE CAN'T HARM ME,
I'M PROTECTED BY CHANGO.
LIKE MITCHELL WAS?
*
*
*
*
OLAVO.
KANIKA?
KANIKA!
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
MITCHELL'S
TOX SCREEN.
SCORPION VENOM?
THERE WAS
NO SWELLING
OR DISCOLOURATION
ON THE EXTREMITIES.
NO INTERNAL HEMORRHAGING.
IT DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE.
IT EXPLAINS THE ARRHYTHMIA AND
THE SUDDEN ONSET OF PARALYSIS.
BUT THE UNUSUAL
BLOOD GASES?
GOTTA BRING COOPER IN ON THAT;
WAY OUTTA MY LEAGUE.
I THINK, MAYBE,
MITCHELL SUFFERED A SEVERE
ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE VENOM.
I WON'T BE THERE WHEN YOU TELL
COOPER YOU DON'T HAVE THE BUG.
IT'S NOT A BUG,
OKAY?
IT'S AN ARTHROPOD.
AND THERE'S NOT MUCH
I CAN TELL YOU
WITHOUT A SPECIMEN.
SCORPIONS ARE SHY AND SECRETIVE
BY NATURE.
THEY ONLY STING
IN SELF DEFENSE
OR TO SUBDUE PREY.
WHAT ABOUT
ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK?
YES,
IN SEVERE CASES,
I'VE SEEN THROAT SPASMS,
CONVULSIONS,
RESPIRATORY FAILURE--
BUT IF THIS SCORPION'S STING
CAUSED BLOOD TO BOIL,
IT'S UNLIKE ANYTHING
I'VE EVER HEARD OF.
*
YOU PRETEND
YOU DON'T LOVE ME.
I KNOW
YOU DON'T MEAN IT.
IF ONLY YOU HAD BEEN
MORE FAITHFUL, MY DARLING.
BUT
WE WILL BEGIN AGAIN.
SUCH A PRETTY,
YOUNG FACE.
IT GROWS MORE BEAUTIFUL
EVERY DAY.
I KNOW.
I'VE BEEN
WATCHING YOU.
WERE YOU
TRYING TO MAKE ME JEALOUS?
WHY DON'T YOU
ANSWER IT?
NO ANSWER.
IT'S BEEN TOO LONG.
RAY'S TEAM
IS OUT LOOKING FOR HIM.
THIS ISN'T
LIKE HIM;
LET'S CHECK
THE MARKET.
*
WE HAVE TO GET YOU READY;
WE'RE GOING HOME.
BUT 1st
I WANT EVERYONE TO SEE MY BRIDE.
NO.
THERE WE ARE.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
HOW IT FEELS TO BE HUMILIATED.
*
ANYTHING?
NO SIGN OF HIM.
*
EYES AHEAD,
MY LOVE.
*
DON'T.
*
YOU KNOW BRIDES,
THEY ALWAYS CRY
ON THEIR WEDDING NIGHT.
*
*
STAY WITH HER.
ARE YOU ALRIGHT;
YEAH.
*
MATT!
WHERE IS HE?
HE'S BACK THERE.
WE'VE GOT PETER.
THIS WAY.
*
HE'S IN HERE.
THE SCORPION.
BE CAREFUL,
LINDSAY.
I GOT IT.
HOW LONG?
I DON'T KNOW.
COME ON,
LET'S GET YOU OUTTA HERE.
ANY MOVEMENT?
NOTHING.
PUPILS ARE FIXED
AND DILATED.
HANG ON,
PETE.
I WANT
ROUND THE CLOCK SECURITY.
NOBODY SEES HIM
WITHOUT MY AUTHORITY.
NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE
YOU'RE STILL ALIVE, MY FRIEND.
I WANT BLOOD SAMPLES
AND I WANT THEM TO CENTRAL LAB,
STAT.
TREAT HIM
AS A PATIENT,
NOT A CORPSE.
LOOK AT THIS.
PARABUTHUS TRANSVAALICUS.
THAT IS THE MOST VENOMOUS
SCORPION IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE ALIVE
BEFORE.
SOMEONE WENT TO A LOT OF TROUBLE
TO IMPORT THIS BEAUTY.
COULD THE VENOM
HAVE CAUSED THE PARALYSIS?
IN AN INSECT, YES;
IN A HUMAN, VERY UNLIKELY.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
ANTIVENOM HAS TO BE ADMINISTERED
WITHIN MINUTES.
CAN YOU GET IT?
IF I ORDER IT
FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
WHAT CAN YOU DO HERE?
IT WOULD TAKE
MONTHS.
MATT, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH VENOM
IN A SCORPION'S STING
TO CAUSE A REACTION
LIKE PETER'S.
SOMEONE TOOK THE TIME
TO INJECT IT.
OLAVO ADMIRES SCORPIONS.
THEY SEE SOMETHING THEY WANT
AND THEY TAKE IT.
NO APOLOGIES.
DID OLAVO
KILL MITCHELL?
OLAVO USES THE CLAVE
LIKE THE SCORPION
USES ITS TAIL.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THE RHYTHM STINGS YOU AND
IT TRAVELS THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM.
HE SLOWS YOUR HEART,
HE PARALYSES
YOUR BODY.
YOU THINK THAT YOUR BODY
WAS AFFECTED BY OLAVO'S MUSIC?
I STARTED TO HEAR
THIS TAPPING.
IT WAS LIKE A CLICKING,
ALMOST.
IT TOOK ME A MINUTE
TO RECOGNIZE IT WAS THE CLAVE.
IT WAS LIKE I WAS DRUGGED;
AND THEN I SAW HIM.
HE WAS HIDING
IN THE SHADOWS.
I COULDN'T MOVE.
DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING
WHEN YOU WERE IN THAT STATE?
SI.
I REMEMBER EVERYTHING.
SCORPIONS
PREFER THEIR PREY ALIVE.
*
WHAT'S DRIVING
THIS GUY?
WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES IT MAKE?
WE FIGURE OUT
WHAT TURNS HIS CRANK,
WE CAN FIND A CURE
FOR PETE.
MAYBE HE'S LIKE THE SCORPIONS
HE USES.
YOU KNOW,
LIKE THE FABLE.
A SCORPION ASKS A FOX
TO TAKE HIM ACROSS THE RIVER.
THE FOX SAYS,
NO, YOU'LL STING ME.
IF HE STINGS THEM,
THEY BOTH DROWN.
BUT THE SCORPION
STINGS HIM ANYWAY.
CAN'T HELP IT.
IT'S HIS NATURE.
KANIKA, WE NEED TO KNOW,
HOW DID OLAVO BRING YOU BACK?
WHEN HE STARTED
TO PLAY THE CLAVE,
I FELT
MY HEART SPEED UP.
IT FELT LIKE
IT WAS RACING.
IT STILL DOES,
NOW.
SO, THE CLAVE
REVIVED YOU?
YOU PLAYED A PIECE OF MUSIC
AT MITCHELL'S FUNERAL.
IT WAS THE MUSIC FROM THE RUMBA
THE NIGHT HE DIED.
WAS THERE A CLAVE
IN THAT;
SI.
KANIKA,
I NEED THAT TAPE.
CASE LOG UPDATE.
DONNER CONTINUES TO WORK
WITH KANIKA NAZARIO.
THERE'S NO CHANGE
IN PETER AXON'S CONDITION.
WE'RE STILL WAITING
FOR COOPER'S ANTIVENOM.
PRAEGER OUT.
THE ANTIVENOM
NEEDS TO BE ADMINISTERED
NEAR THE SITE OF THE STING.
WE HAVEN'T FOUND
ANY PUNCTURE POINTS.
NO INFLAMMATION,
NO BLISTERING?
NOTHING LIKE THAT.
OKAY,
I KNOW THIS MAY SEEM STRANGE,
BUT
IT'S WORTH A SHOT.
BEAR WITH ME.
ALRIGHT.
THIS HAS GOTTA WORK.
*
PETER,
PETER, COME ON;
I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR IT.
*
OH, GOD.
IT SHOULD HAVE
REVIVED HIM.
MAYBE
WE'RE TOO LATE.
*
I'M SORRY,
MATT.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT WE WERE EXPECTING.
SOMETIMES, YOU THROW AWAY
WHAT YOU KNOW AND PUT YOUR FAITH
IN THE IMPLAUSIBLE.
HOW CAN A GUY
BANGING 2 STICKS TOGETHER
CAUSE A HUMAN BODY
TO SHUT DOWN?
IT'S BEEN DOCUMENTED
THAT PULSATING LIGHTS
CAUSE
PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY.
ANY CASES OF EPILEPSY
BEING TRIGGERED BY SOUND?
NO.
*
INTENSE FEAR HAS BEEN KNOWN
TO CAUSE PARALYSIS.
GRACIAS, THANK YOU
FOR EVERYTHING.
I'LL BE FINE, NOW.
I'M NOT LEAVING YOU ALONE,
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
WE DON'T KNOW
WHERE OLAVO IS.
I DON'T WANT
YOUR HELP.
WHEN MITCHELL DIED,
YOU SENT PETER IN WITHOUT EVEN
KNOWING WHAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST.
KANIKA,
I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL,
BUT PLEASE,
LISTEN TO ME.
I KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING HERE.
WE'VE ALREADY LOST MITCHELL,
I'M NOT GONNA RISK LOSING YOU.
I'M GONNA
BRING PETER BACK.
HOW?
*
THAT'S ALL THE ANTIVENOM.
COOPER IS NOT OPTIMISTIC.
ANTON,
WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO?
WAIT A MINUTE,
WAIT A MINUTE.
EVERY HEART
HAS ITS OWN RHYTHM.
THE CLAVE
IN THAT MUSIC
THAT JUMP STARTED
MITCHELL'S NATURAL BODY RHYTHMS,
IT MUST HAVE BEEN ATTUNED
TO HIS HEARTS RHYTHM.
WHAT, YOU'RE SAYING MITCHELL
DANCED HIMSELF TO DEATH,
AND CAME BACK TO LIFE
WITH A DOSE OF THE SAME MUSIC?
I DON'T KNOW,
IT'S JUST A THEORY.
OKAY, SO,
WE MATCH PETER'S HEARTBEAT
TO A SYNTHESIZED ONE,
INCREASING
THE HEART RATE,
BRINGING HIS BODY
BACK UP TO SPEED?
AND COUNTERACT THE FEVER
BEFORE IT STARTS.
LET'S TRY IT.
LIKE HUMANS, PLANTS
ARE ALIVE WITH DIVINE POWER
AND EACH
HAS ITS OWN PERSONALITY.
THIS ONE
IS VENGEFUL.
CHANGO AJUBA!
MAFEREFUN
CHANGO!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M CALLING ON CHANGO
FOR HELP.
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
WHAT IS THIS FOR?
WE CREATE A LINK
BETWEEN
RITUAL OBJECTS
AND
THE INTENDED VICTIM.
VICTIM?
THE SCORPION
REPRESENTS OLAVO.
*
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
*
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
*
AMIGO.
SI.
COME ON.
COME ON!
CHANGO AJUBA!
KANIKA?
ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
YES.
*
MAFEREFUN
CHANGO!
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
I LOADED A SAMPLING PROGRAM
ONTO THE COMPUTER.
I COULD HAVE USED PETE
ON THIS.
OKAY,
THIS IS THE COMPUTERS HEARTBEAT.
THIS IS PETER'S HEART RATE
ACCORDING TO HIS LAST PHYSICAL.
ALRIGHT.
READY?
YES.
NOTHING.
TRY
SLOWING THE RHYTHM DOWN.
OKAY,
HOLD IT THERE.
GOT IT.
*
*
WELCOME BACK,
PETE.
IF YOU THINK THE OLD
BACK FROM THE DEAD EXCUSE WILL
GET YOU OUT OF DOING PAPER WORK,
YOU'RE SADLY MISTAKEN.
CHANGO
AJUBA!
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
ARA!
INA;
IKU!
CHANGO AJUBA!
*
KANIKA?
*
CHANGO
HAS ANSWERED OUR CALL.
MITCHELL
IS AVENGED.
*
I THOUGHT
I WAS INSANE.
EVERYTHING WAS BRIGHTER
AND LOUDER
AND MORE IRRITATING.
I HAD AN ITCHY ELBOW
FOR 8 HOURS STRAIGHT.
YOU SHOULD #AHAVE SAID SOMETHING
I'D HAVE SCRATCHED IT FOR YOU.
YOU JUST DON'T REALIZE
HOW MUCH WE TAKE FOR GRANTED.
PETE,
TAKE SOME TIME OFF.
HAVE A LIFE FOR A WEEK OR 2,
OKAY?
YEAH.
I THINK I'LL GO HOME.
GO VISIT A FRIEND.
PRESERVED ME,
O GOD,
FOR IN THEE
DO I PUT MY TRUST.
WE SHARE THE GRIEF
OF MITCHELL'S MOTHER,
HIS FRIENDS,
AND HIS COLLEAGUES.
MISS KANIKA NAZARIO
WOULD LIKE TO PLAY
A PIECE OF MUSIC
IN TRIBUTE
TO MITCHELL.
WHO'S THAT?
WE ALL GRIEVE
IN OUR OWN WAY
AND I ASK THAT
WE RESPECT
MISS NAZARIO'S
REQUEST.
*
MITCHELL,
YOU MAY HAVE LEFT US
IN BODY,
BUT YOUR SPIRIT
SURROUNDS AND PROTECTS US.
IBAE BAYE T'ORUN.
MITCHELL?
*
ELEOA, WE7LA3AoS
MUCH OF LATIN AMERICA BELIEVES
IN THE TENETS OF SANTERIA.
THE POWER OF THIS RELIGION
IS UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED,
RESPECTED AND FEARED,
AS WE SEE IN THE FOLLOWING CASE.
MITCHELL.
THANK YOU.
YOU GAVE US QUITE A SCARE THERE,
BUDDY.
MITCHELL?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
HI.
MY NAME'S
PETER AXON.
I WORK
WITH MITCHELL.
KANIKA?
WHERE'S KANIKA;
IS SHE HERE?
SHE WAS.
SHHH, REST.
PETER,
THEY THOUGHT
I WAS DEAD.
I COULD SEE
AND HEAR,
BUT WHEN I TRIED
TO MOVE--
NOTHING.
I THOUGHT
I WAS SCREAMING,
BUT NO SOUND
CAME OUT.
I PRAYED THAT
THEY WOULD REALIZED
THAT I WAS IN HERE
BEFORE
THEY BURIED ME ALIVE.
IT'S OKAY, NOW.
*
THE DOCTOR SAID IT WAS
A HEART ATTACK, BUT IT WASN'T.
YOU MAY HAVE
A SLIGHT ARRHYTHMIA.
WHEN YOU COLLAPSED,
DID YOU FEEL
A CONSTRICTING, VICE-LIKE PAIN;
A CRUSHING PRESSURE
ON THE CHEST?
NO.
NO PRESSURE, NO PAIN;
LOOK, I'M FINE NOW.
YOU'RE STILL RUNNING
A TEMPERATURE.
I'LL TAKE
AN ASPIRIN.
RIGHT NOW,
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.
YOU'RE PART OF THE O.S.I.R.,
YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE
HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.
WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED
WAS REALLY EXTRAORDINARY.
IF YOU'RE EXPECTING ME TO
DESCRIBE THE CLASSIC BLACK VOID,
LONG TUNNEL,
BRIGHT LIGHT SCENARIO,
YOU'RE WASTING
YOUR TIME.
SO, IT WASN'T
AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE?
I WAS TRAPPED INSIDE MY BODY,
ALRIGHT?
I COULDN'T MOVE,
I COULDN'T BLINK.
HOW MANY TIMES
DO I HAVE TO GO OVER THIS?
I WASN'T DEAD.
MITCHELL?
WHERE YOU GOING?
I'M MEETING KANIKA.
WE STILL GOT
STUFF TO DO.
NO THANKS,
I'M PUNCHING OUT.
SHE MUST BE
SOMETHING SPECIAL.
SHE IS.
A GUY LIKE ME DOESN'T EXPECT
TO FIND SOMEONE LIKE HER.
WHERE DO YOU
FIND THE TIME?
I DIDN'T, SHE WAS ONE
OF MY RESEARCH CONTACTS.
YOU KNOW
HOW THEY SAY,
WHEN YOU MEET THE RIGHT ONE,
YOU JUST KNOW?
THAT'S
WHAT IT WAS LIKE.
YOU EVER FELT THAT?
WELL, YEAH,
ONCE OR TWICE.
I WAS ENGAGED
BACK HOME.
WHERE'S SHE NOW?
SHE'S BACK HOME.
YOU SHOULD
LOOK HER UP.
THANKS, PETER,
FOR BEING AROUND.
COMPANY MEN
GOTTA STICK TOGETHER.
I'M NOT A COMPANY MAN
ANYMORE.
I QUIT.
HOW CAN YOU
MISDIAGNOSE DEATH?
THAT BOOSTS MY CONFIDENCE
IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
DON'T LOOK AT ME;
HE WAS D.O.A. AT THE HOSPITAL.
IN THE 36 HOURS BETWEEN
THE HOSPITAL AND HIS FUNERAL,
NOBODY SAW HIM BREATHE;
NO ONE DETECTED A PULSE?
DEATH CERTIFICATE INDICATES
HEART FAILURE.
AT 34?
LUCKY FOR MITCHELL
THEY NEVER DID AN AUTOPSY.
MORE THAN JUST LUCK,
HIS FAMILY REFUSED PERMISSION.
IT CONTRAVENES
CONSERVATIVE JEWISH TRADITION.
THERE A CASE FILE?
DOUBT IT,
JUDGING FROM THE FUNERAL.
SO, TECHNICALLY,
NO ONE'S CALLED US IN.
MITCHELL DID
WHEN HE CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD.
HE'S A FRIEND;
SOUNDS LIKE
YOU GOT IT COVERED.
MAYBE I'LL PLAN
A VACATION.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
LIFE IS SHORT,
PETE.
ASK YOUR FRIEND,
MITCHELL.
MITCHELL KLEINMAN WAS STUDYING
THE MYSTERIES OF LUKUMI,
BETTER KNOWN AS
SANTERIA.
SANTERIA
IS A BLEND OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM
AND THE RELIGION
OF THE YORUBA PEOPLE.
WESTERNERS CONFUSE IT
WITH VOODOO BUT IT'S UNRELATED.
WAS HE WORKING
A SPECIFIC CASE?
NO,
JUST ROUTINE RESEARCH.
CASE MANAGER?
SHARLOW.
ONLY SHE'S SEND AN OPERATIVE
INTO THE FIELD FOR NO REASON.
SHE ALWAYS HAS HER REASONS
ALBEIT, NOT GOOD ONES.
SHE'S IMPOSSIBLE.
SOME MANAGERS
JUST REQUIRE SPECIAL HANDLING.
MATT, THE BUNNY
COMES OUT OF THE HOLE,
AROUND THE TREE
AND BACK INTO
THE HOLE.
HERE'S
MITCHELL'S RESEARCH.
IT DOESN'T EXPLAIN
HIS APPARENT DEATH.
I'LL TALK TO HIS GIRLFRIEND
IN LITTLE CUBA.
LET ME KNOW
WHAT YOU FIND.
SOMEBODY'S SHOULD
TALK TO SHARLOW
ABOUT WHY HER TEAM
WASN'T AT THE FUNERAL.
LET ME KNOW
WHAT YOU FIND.
MATT,
THAT DUTY FALLS ON
THE CASE MANAGER.
SINCE, I'M A LOWLY
CHIEF SCIENCE ANALYST...
I WAS GONNA TAKE THE AFTERNOON
OFF AND GO SAILING.
SHE COULD HELP YOU
WITH YOUR KNOTS;
OR NOT.
50 LASHES.
SHE'S OUT IN RICHMOND.
HE WAS 34.
YOU DIDN'T THINK A HEART ATTACK
WAS UNUSUAL?
KAROSHI, WHAT THE JAPANESE CALL
A STRESS-RELATED HEART ATTACK.
MITCHELL
FIT THE PROFILE.
YOU MISSED
HIS FUNERAL.
I WAS ON ASSIGNMENT.
OUT OF TOWN?
NO, LOCAL CASE,
TURNED OUT TO BE A HOAX.
86 PERCENT ARE;
WHAT ABOUT YOUR TEAM?
I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU RUN YOUR SHIP,
BUT IF I'M BUSY,
SO ARE MY PEOPLE.
YOU MUST BE RELIEVED HE'S ALIVE;
HE CAN GET BACK TO WORK.
I PUT MITCHELL ON EXTENDED
STRESS LEAVE 2 MONTHS AGO.
I THOUGHT YOU HAD HIM
RESEARCHING SANTERIA.
NO, NOT ON MY CLOCK.
*
WHY DON'T YOU TALK
TO MITCHELL?
WE HAVE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM
THAT NIGHT?
DID HE EAT ANYTHING
UNUSUAL?
I DON'T THINK SO.
DID HE DRINK ANYTHING;
TAKE ANY DRUGS?
NO; I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT HAPPENED.
WE WERE DANCING
AT THE RUMBA.
THE STREET PARTY?
NO, THE RUMBA
IS A SANTERIAN CEREMONY.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
IT'S ABOUT
GOOD AND EVIL.
IT'S A CALL TO OUR ANCESTORS
TO WATCH OVER US.
OKAY, SO ONE MINUTE HE'S DANCING
AND THE NEXT HE DROPS DEAD?
IT MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE A SHOCK
TO SEE HIM COME ALIVE AGAIN.
I ONLY FELT RELIEF
AND JOY.
THERE'S NO WAY
TO DESCRIBE IT.
IT WAS MIRACULOUS.
THEN WHY DID YOU
LEAVE THE CHAPEL
WITHOUT EVEN
TALKING TO HIM?
ALL THE DOCTORS
AND THE PEOPLE--
IT WAS TOO BUSY.
THEY ARRIVED
AFTER YOU LEFT.
IT WAS CROWDED.
I KNEW
I WOULD SEE HIM LATER.
I LOVE HIM.
WE'RE GOING
TO GET MARRIED.
*
*
*
*
HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO CALL.
WHEN I DIDN'T HEAR
FROM HIM,
I GOT WORRIED.
I WANTED
TO SEE MY SON.
LOOK WHAT SHE DID
TO HIM!
*
*
*
*
*
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY MITCHELL
RECOVERED LAST TIME, RABBI.
WE HOPE THAT IF WE CAN DUPLICATE
HIS EXPERIENCE EXACTLY,
HE MAY RECOVER
AGAIN.
IF HE'S STILL ALIVE,
WHY AM I CONDUCTING
A FUNERAL SERVICE?
IT'S ALL WE HAVE
TO GO ON.
WE HAVE TO PROCEED
EXACTLY AS WE DID BEFORE.
ALRIGHT.
[ Donner
I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK
SHE WOULDN'T#A SHOW.
MRS. KLEINMAN,
I'M SO SORRY.
SHE SHOULD BE SORRY.
*
*
*
O GOD,#A FULL OF COMPASSION,
WHO DWELLS ON HIGH,
GRANT TRUE REST
UPON THE WINGS OF SHECHINAH,
IN THE EXALTED SPHERES--
WITCH!
YOU KILLED HIM!
WITCH!
NO, NO.
A WITCH?
WHAT HELEN VIEWS AS WITCHCRAFT
WAS SANTERIA.
MITCHELL'S BODY WAS LAID OUT
WITH RITUAL OBJECTS
IN A CLEANSING CEREMONY;
THE CANDLES, THE AMULET,
POWERED EGG SHELL.
WHAT KILLED HIM;
NO IDEA.
WE WON'T FIND OUT UNTIL WE GET
PERMISSION FOR AN AUTOPSY.
LINDSAY,
TALK TO HIS MOTHER.
SHE'S LOST HIM,
AGAIN,
I DON'T THINK
SHE WANTS TO TALK TO ANYONE.
IT MIGHT HELP IF SHE FINDS OUT
WHAT A HAPPENED TO HIM,
GIVE HER PEACE.
PETE,
I'M SORRY
ABOUT MITCHELL.
YEAH, I JUST WISH
WE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING.
PICK UP
WHERE HE LEFT OFF.
GO TO THE MARKET,
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND.
YEAH,
OKAY.
YOU LOOKING
FOR KANIKA?
SHE'S GONE.
*
*
*
NO, THANKS.
HAVE YOU SEEN
THIS WOMAN?
KANIKA NAZARIO.
NO?
OKAY,
THANKS.
*
WE'VE ALREADY HAD
THE FUNERAL.
MITCHELL
IS AT REST.
IF WE DON'T EXAMINE
HIS BODY,
WE'LL NEVER BE SURE
WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE MURDERED
MY SON.
HIS FACE WAS PAINTED
WITH ANIMAL BLOOD.
I KNOW KANIKA'S SPIRITUAL
PRACTICES MAY SEEM UNUSUAL.
IN MANY RELIGIONS,
BLOOD REPRESENTS LIFE:
PASSOVER,
COMMUNION.
SANTERIA
IS NO DIFFERENT.
KANIKA
IS A SANTERA,
A SPIRITUAL ADVISOR.
I DON'T CARE
WHAT SHE IS.
MRS. KLEINMAN,
WHY DID YOU CALL US
WHEN YOU FOUND MITCHELL'S BODY?
MITCHELL GAVE HIS LIFE
TO THE O.S.I.R.
HE TRUSTED YOU.
THEN LET US FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENED.
BASED ON THE EXTERNAL EXAM,
I SEE NOTHING UNUSUAL.
THE SYMPTOMS KANIKA DESCRIBED
SUGGEST BACTERIAL MENINGITIS.
THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT
WITH HIS RAPID DEGENERATION.
DEATH CAN OCCUR
WITHIN 24 HOURS.
YOU'RE SURE HE'S DEAD
THIS TIME?
POSITIVE.
IT'S YOUR LAW SUIT.
STARTING Y-INCISION.
*
WHAT COULD CAUSE THAT?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
GIMME A SWAB.
WOW.
*
12, THESE BIRDS
AREN'T WORTH 6!
KANIKA?
I'LL TAKE HIM.
WHAT ELSE
DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
MITCHELL ISN'T EVEN BURIED YET
AND YOU'RE SHOPPING.
DID HELEN SEND YOU?
NO.
PETER, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME
ABOUT MITCHELL'S DEATH.
WHAT WERE THOSE RITUAL OFFERINGS
YOU LEFT HIM?
YOU HAVE YOUR RELIGION
AND I HAVE MINE.
ACTUALLY,
I'M NOT RELIGIOUS.
DID YOU WISH FOR MITCHELL
TO RETURN AT THE FUNERAL?
OF COURSE.
THEN YOU BELIEF IN SOMETHING,
PETER.
KANIKA.
HELP ME OUT HERE,
I'M TRYING
TO PIECE THIS TOGETHER.
I WAS TRYING TO SAVE HIM,
PETER.
THE SHRINE I MADE FOR MITCHELL
WAS MY OFFERING TO CHANGO.
WHAT IS THAT,
A GOD?
NO,
IT'S AN ORISHA.
IT'S MORE LIKE
A SPIRIT--
PATRON OF FIRE,
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
WHAT WAS THAT SYMBOL
ON MITCHELL'S FOREHEAD.
CHANGO'S
DOUBLE-HEADED AXE.
IT'S TO PROTECT HIM.
FROM WHAT?
I WAS TOO LATE.
KANIKA IS FRIGHTENED.
MAYBE SHE JUST KNOWS MORE
THAN SHE'S TELLING.
BACKGROUND SHOWS
NOTHING OF NOTE,
EXCEPT SHE DIVORCED HER HUSBAND
ABOUT THE SAME TIME
SHE MET MITCHELL;
HE'S A MUSICIAN,
NAME'S OLAVO LOPEZ.
COULD BE THE JEALOUS TYPE,
IT'S WORTH ASKING.
I'M MEETING KANIKA
AT THE RUMBA TONIGHT.
NOT A BAD GIG FOR
A LOWLY CHIEF SCIENCE ANALYST.
JUST FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
BE CAREFUL, OKAY;
I DON'T WANT YOU DOING
THE DEAD MAN'S SHUFFLE.
I'LL BE BACK
IN A COUPLE HOURS.
*
YOU SEE THAT MAN
TAPPING THE STICKS TOGETHER?
THE CLAVE PLAYER?
HE SETS
THE RHYTHM AND THE TEMPO
FOR THE REST OF THE BAND.
WITHOUT HIM,
THE MUSIC WOULD FALL TO CHAOS.
HE'S VERY GOOD.
HE'S THE KEY TO THE RUMBA.
WHAT DOES OLAVO PLAY?
YOUR EX-HUSBAND;
WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION HIM?
I HAVE BROTHERS,
YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THEM?
HE KNOW ABOUT MITCHELL?
IF OLAVO THINKS HE CAN SCARE ME,
HE'S WRONG.
HE CAN'T HARM ME,
I'M PROTECTED BY CHANGO.
LIKE MITCHELL WAS?
*
*
*
*
OLAVO.
KANIKA?
KANIKA!
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
MITCHELL'S
TOX SCREEN.
SCORPION VENOM?
THERE WAS
NO SWELLING
OR DISCOLOURATION
ON THE EXTREMITIES.
NO INTERNAL HEMORRHAGING.
IT DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE.
IT EXPLAINS THE ARRHYTHMIA AND
THE SUDDEN ONSET OF PARALYSIS.
BUT THE UNUSUAL
BLOOD GASES?
GOTTA BRING COOPER IN ON THAT;
WAY OUTTA MY LEAGUE.
I THINK, MAYBE,
MITCHELL SUFFERED A SEVERE
ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE VENOM.
I WON'T BE THERE WHEN YOU TELL
COOPER YOU DON'T HAVE THE BUG.
IT'S NOT A BUG,
OKAY?
IT'S AN ARTHROPOD.
AND THERE'S NOT MUCH
I CAN TELL YOU
WITHOUT A SPECIMEN.
SCORPIONS ARE SHY AND SECRETIVE
BY NATURE.
THEY ONLY STING
IN SELF DEFENSE
OR TO SUBDUE PREY.
WHAT ABOUT
ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK?
YES,
IN SEVERE CASES,
I'VE SEEN THROAT SPASMS,
CONVULSIONS,
RESPIRATORY FAILURE--
BUT IF THIS SCORPION'S STING
CAUSED BLOOD TO BOIL,
IT'S UNLIKE ANYTHING
I'VE EVER HEARD OF.
*
YOU PRETEND
YOU DON'T LOVE ME.
I KNOW
YOU DON'T MEAN IT.
IF ONLY YOU HAD BEEN
MORE FAITHFUL, MY DARLING.
BUT
WE WILL BEGIN AGAIN.
SUCH A PRETTY,
YOUNG FACE.
IT GROWS MORE BEAUTIFUL
EVERY DAY.
I KNOW.
I'VE BEEN
WATCHING YOU.
WERE YOU
TRYING TO MAKE ME JEALOUS?
WHY DON'T YOU
ANSWER IT?
NO ANSWER.
IT'S BEEN TOO LONG.
RAY'S TEAM
IS OUT LOOKING FOR HIM.
THIS ISN'T
LIKE HIM;
LET'S CHECK
THE MARKET.
*
WE HAVE TO GET YOU READY;
WE'RE GOING HOME.
BUT 1st
I WANT EVERYONE TO SEE MY BRIDE.
NO.
THERE WE ARE.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
HOW IT FEELS TO BE HUMILIATED.
*
ANYTHING?
NO SIGN OF HIM.
*
EYES AHEAD,
MY LOVE.
*
DON'T.
*
YOU KNOW BRIDES,
THEY ALWAYS CRY
ON THEIR WEDDING NIGHT.
*
*
STAY WITH HER.
ARE YOU ALRIGHT;
YEAH.
*
MATT!
WHERE IS HE?
HE'S BACK THERE.
WE'VE GOT PETER.
THIS WAY.
*
HE'S IN HERE.
THE SCORPION.
BE CAREFUL,
LINDSAY.
I GOT IT.
HOW LONG?
I DON'T KNOW.
COME ON,
LET'S GET YOU OUTTA HERE.
ANY MOVEMENT?
NOTHING.
PUPILS ARE FIXED
AND DILATED.
HANG ON,
PETE.
I WANT
ROUND THE CLOCK SECURITY.
NOBODY SEES HIM
WITHOUT MY AUTHORITY.
NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE
YOU'RE STILL ALIVE, MY FRIEND.
I WANT BLOOD SAMPLES
AND I WANT THEM TO CENTRAL LAB,
STAT.
TREAT HIM
AS A PATIENT,
NOT A CORPSE.
LOOK AT THIS.
PARABUTHUS TRANSVAALICUS.
THAT IS THE MOST VENOMOUS
SCORPION IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE ALIVE
BEFORE.
SOMEONE WENT TO A LOT OF TROUBLE
TO IMPORT THIS BEAUTY.
COULD THE VENOM
HAVE CAUSED THE PARALYSIS?
IN AN INSECT, YES;
IN A HUMAN, VERY UNLIKELY.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
ANTIVENOM HAS TO BE ADMINISTERED
WITHIN MINUTES.
CAN YOU GET IT?
IF I ORDER IT
FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
WHAT CAN YOU DO HERE?
IT WOULD TAKE
MONTHS.
MATT, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH VENOM
IN A SCORPION'S STING
TO CAUSE A REACTION
LIKE PETER'S.
SOMEONE TOOK THE TIME
TO INJECT IT.
OLAVO ADMIRES SCORPIONS.
THEY SEE SOMETHING THEY WANT
AND THEY TAKE IT.
NO APOLOGIES.
DID OLAVO
KILL MITCHELL?
OLAVO USES THE CLAVE
LIKE THE SCORPION
USES ITS TAIL.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THE RHYTHM STINGS YOU AND
IT TRAVELS THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM.
HE SLOWS YOUR HEART,
HE PARALYSES
YOUR BODY.
YOU THINK THAT YOUR BODY
WAS AFFECTED BY OLAVO'S MUSIC?
I STARTED TO HEAR
THIS TAPPING.
IT WAS LIKE A CLICKING,
ALMOST.
IT TOOK ME A MINUTE
TO RECOGNIZE IT WAS THE CLAVE.
IT WAS LIKE I WAS DRUGGED;
AND THEN I SAW HIM.
HE WAS HIDING
IN THE SHADOWS.
I COULDN'T MOVE.
DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING
WHEN YOU WERE IN THAT STATE?
SI.
I REMEMBER EVERYTHING.
SCORPIONS
PREFER THEIR PREY ALIVE.
*
WHAT'S DRIVING
THIS GUY?
WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES IT MAKE?
WE FIGURE OUT
WHAT TURNS HIS CRANK,
WE CAN FIND A CURE
FOR PETE.
MAYBE HE'S LIKE THE SCORPIONS
HE USES.
YOU KNOW,
LIKE THE FABLE.
A SCORPION ASKS A FOX
TO TAKE HIM ACROSS THE RIVER.
THE FOX SAYS,
NO, YOU'LL STING ME.
IF HE STINGS THEM,
THEY BOTH DROWN.
BUT THE SCORPION
STINGS HIM ANYWAY.
CAN'T HELP IT.
IT'S HIS NATURE.
KANIKA, WE NEED TO KNOW,
HOW DID OLAVO BRING YOU BACK?
WHEN HE STARTED
TO PLAY THE CLAVE,
I FELT
MY HEART SPEED UP.
IT FELT LIKE
IT WAS RACING.
IT STILL DOES,
NOW.
SO, THE CLAVE
REVIVED YOU?
YOU PLAYED A PIECE OF MUSIC
AT MITCHELL'S FUNERAL.
IT WAS THE MUSIC FROM THE RUMBA
THE NIGHT HE DIED.
WAS THERE A CLAVE
IN THAT;
SI.
KANIKA,
I NEED THAT TAPE.
CASE LOG UPDATE.
DONNER CONTINUES TO WORK
WITH KANIKA NAZARIO.
THERE'S NO CHANGE
IN PETER AXON'S CONDITION.
WE'RE STILL WAITING
FOR COOPER'S ANTIVENOM.
PRAEGER OUT.
THE ANTIVENOM
NEEDS TO BE ADMINISTERED
NEAR THE SITE OF THE STING.
WE HAVEN'T FOUND
ANY PUNCTURE POINTS.
NO INFLAMMATION,
NO BLISTERING?
NOTHING LIKE THAT.
OKAY,
I KNOW THIS MAY SEEM STRANGE,
BUT
IT'S WORTH A SHOT.
BEAR WITH ME.
ALRIGHT.
THIS HAS GOTTA WORK.
*
PETER,
PETER, COME ON;
I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR IT.
*
OH, GOD.
IT SHOULD HAVE
REVIVED HIM.
MAYBE
WE'RE TOO LATE.
*
I'M SORRY,
MATT.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT WE WERE EXPECTING.
SOMETIMES, YOU THROW AWAY
WHAT YOU KNOW AND PUT YOUR FAITH
IN THE IMPLAUSIBLE.
HOW CAN A GUY
BANGING 2 STICKS TOGETHER
CAUSE A HUMAN BODY
TO SHUT DOWN?
IT'S BEEN DOCUMENTED
THAT PULSATING LIGHTS
CAUSE
PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY.
ANY CASES OF EPILEPSY
BEING TRIGGERED BY SOUND?
NO.
*
INTENSE FEAR HAS BEEN KNOWN
TO CAUSE PARALYSIS.
GRACIAS, THANK YOU
FOR EVERYTHING.
I'LL BE FINE, NOW.
I'M NOT LEAVING YOU ALONE,
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
WE DON'T KNOW
WHERE OLAVO IS.
I DON'T WANT
YOUR HELP.
WHEN MITCHELL DIED,
YOU SENT PETER IN WITHOUT EVEN
KNOWING WHAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST.
KANIKA,
I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL,
BUT PLEASE,
LISTEN TO ME.
I KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING HERE.
WE'VE ALREADY LOST MITCHELL,
I'M NOT GONNA RISK LOSING YOU.
I'M GONNA
BRING PETER BACK.
HOW?
*
THAT'S ALL THE ANTIVENOM.
COOPER IS NOT OPTIMISTIC.
ANTON,
WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO?
WAIT A MINUTE,
WAIT A MINUTE.
EVERY HEART
HAS ITS OWN RHYTHM.
THE CLAVE
IN THAT MUSIC
THAT JUMP STARTED
MITCHELL'S NATURAL BODY RHYTHMS,
IT MUST HAVE BEEN ATTUNED
TO HIS HEARTS RHYTHM.
WHAT, YOU'RE SAYING MITCHELL
DANCED HIMSELF TO DEATH,
AND CAME BACK TO LIFE
WITH A DOSE OF THE SAME MUSIC?
I DON'T KNOW,
IT'S JUST A THEORY.
OKAY, SO,
WE MATCH PETER'S HEARTBEAT
TO A SYNTHESIZED ONE,
INCREASING
THE HEART RATE,
BRINGING HIS BODY
BACK UP TO SPEED?
AND COUNTERACT THE FEVER
BEFORE IT STARTS.
LET'S TRY IT.
LIKE HUMANS, PLANTS
ARE ALIVE WITH DIVINE POWER
AND EACH
HAS ITS OWN PERSONALITY.
THIS ONE
IS VENGEFUL.
CHANGO AJUBA!
MAFEREFUN
CHANGO!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M CALLING ON CHANGO
FOR HELP.
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
WHAT IS THIS FOR?
WE CREATE A LINK
BETWEEN
RITUAL OBJECTS
AND
THE INTENDED VICTIM.
VICTIM?
THE SCORPION
REPRESENTS OLAVO.
*
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
*
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
*
AMIGO.
SI.
COME ON.
COME ON!
CHANGO AJUBA!
KANIKA?
ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
YES.
*
MAFEREFUN
CHANGO!
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
I LOADED A SAMPLING PROGRAM
ONTO THE COMPUTER.
I COULD HAVE USED PETE
ON THIS.
OKAY,
THIS IS THE COMPUTERS HEARTBEAT.
THIS IS PETER'S HEART RATE
ACCORDING TO HIS LAST PHYSICAL.
ALRIGHT.
READY?
YES.
NOTHING.
TRY
SLOWING THE RHYTHM DOWN.
OKAY,
HOLD IT THERE.
GOT IT.
*
*
WELCOME BACK,
PETE.
IF YOU THINK THE OLD
BACK FROM THE DEAD EXCUSE WILL
GET YOU OUT OF DOING PAPER WORK,
YOU'RE SADLY MISTAKEN.
CHANGO
AJUBA!
ARA!
INA!
IKU!
ARA!
INA;
IKU!
CHANGO AJUBA!
*
KANIKA?
*
CHANGO
HAS ANSWERED OUR CALL.
MITCHELL
IS AVENGED.
*
I THOUGHT
I WAS INSANE.
EVERYTHING WAS BRIGHTER
AND LOUDER
AND MORE IRRITATING.
I HAD AN ITCHY ELBOW
FOR 8 HOURS STRAIGHT.
YOU SHOULD #AHAVE SAID SOMETHING
I'D HAVE SCRATCHED IT FOR YOU.
YOU JUST DON'T REALIZE
HOW MUCH WE TAKE FOR GRANTED.
PETE,
TAKE SOME TIME OFF.
HAVE A LIFE FOR A WEEK OR 2,
OKAY?
YEAH.
I THINK I'LL GO HOME.
GO VISIT A FRIEND.
