"Oh yes, I had an observation team record the healing.It is quite remarkable. Now Anton, in following through...."

foreverday03.wav
"But you have to. You know this facility better than anyone. We must confirm Mosher's abilities under laboratory conditions. You know what finding a true, miraculous healer would mean!"

"Just run the test!"

"Sorry, Anton. Please do me this favor - as an old friend."

"On behalf of the OSIR, I would like to thank you for your cooperation. Good luck."

"Yes, I do, but his father insisted on the attempt to save him. He had unrealistic hopes. You're a father - you should know how that feels."

Axon: "That's understandable."
Elsinger: "Is it?"

"Do you have any idea how far-reaching this is? You don't disappoint the Committee. The Chairman has been most patient. We need you to complete your work on his project."

"You can't do everything. Sometimes we have to make choices."

foreverday15.wav
"Hmm...of course not. Especially as they truly appreciate your contributions."

"Grant...yes. What went wrong?

foreverday18.wav
"Who else should he call?"

"Grant had nothing to do with this. I'll be back soon."

"Matthew, I need your help. Grant called because he was frightened. He's afraid whoever did this would try to kill him next. Can your team protect him?"

Praeger: "Then get it."

"Every few seconds, that noise breaks her concentration - blocks her abilities."

foreverday29.wav
"it's not your life that's in danger, Anton."

"Perhaps we can find a more humane way to take care of her."

foreverday31.wav
"Good night."

foreverday32.wav
Elsinger: "Ah, no. I voted to release the information but the Chairman voted against it."
Praeger: "But what about a tiebreaker?"
Elsinger: "The final member of the committee voted with the Chairman."

"Perhaps you should ask him yourself."

Synopsis

Episode #321: "Forever and a Day" Part 1
Case File #298-321

Written by James Nadler
Directed by Ron Oliver

Psychic healer Nicholai Mosher (Victor Young) and his wife, Katrina (Tamsin Kelsey), have just successfully restored the sight of a blind woman when they are interrupted by a group of men who identify themselves as OSIR agents and take Nicholai into custody. Nicholai is taken to the OSIR central lab, where OSIR head Frank Elsinger (Nigel Bennett) has enlisted the aid of Dr. Anton Hendricks (Colin Fox) to test the man's healing powers. Michael Byme (Alex House), a terminally ill 12-year-old boy, is brought into the lab and Nicholai is asked to heal him. Not only is he unsuccessful, but the boy dies during the experiment.

The next day, case manager Matt Praeger (Matt Frewer) confronts Elsinger, furious that the boy had been involved in the experiment instead of being in the hospital. Frustrated by Elsinger's apparent lack of concern, Praeger decides to have his team investigate, and find out why Elsinger is suddenly so interested in psychic healing. Senior data analyst Lindsay Donner (Nancy Anne Sakovich) meets with Hendricks and asks who else attended the experiment. Hendricks says Elsinger had observed from a separate, darkened room with a couple of other men, but he couldn't see their faces. Donner then accesses the central lab's computerized security system, to find that Grant Tessler, the head of Tessler Industries, was on the list of visitors the night of the experiment. She also watches surveillance footage and sees the man who brought Nicholai to the lab is a military friend of Elsinger's. While Donner and her colleagues have encountered the man (Marcus Parilo) while working on other cases involving Elsinger, they do not know his identity.

Praeger and OSIR security coordinator Ray Donahue (Peter MacNeill) take a photo of the mysterious man to the Moshers, who identify him as the man who had taken Nicholai into custody, falsely identifying himself as an OSIR investigator. Thinking he is about to be charged with fraud given the boy's death during the experiment in which he took part, Nicholai strikes Praeger and flees. Praeger and Donohue give chase, only to find Nicholai dead on the street just seconds later. He had been stabbed.Chief science analyst Peter Axon (Barclay Hope) attains a copy of an OSIR surveillance videotape that was shot while the Moshers were curing the blind woman. He enhances the tape with infrared imaging, which shows that there was no aura of energy extending from Nicholai to the woman. Instead, it emanated from Katrina. She is the real healer.

Katrina decides to use the powers that help her heal in a very different way—to avenge Nicholai's death. She targets the observers who watched the experiment in the lab. The day after the military man dies in what appears to be a case of spontaneous combustion, Grant Tessler is killed in his office by an apparent windstorm. Katrina's next victim is Tessler Industries president Dr. Kristine Amrose (Janet Kidder), who inexplicably drowns while in a sealed room in which there isn't so much as a glass of water. It becomes apparent to the team that Katrina is using each of the four elements—earth, wind, fire and water—to avenge her husband. Praeger and Donohue take her into custody.

Donner receives a mysterious phone call requesting a late-night meeting in an alley to discuss the case. She attends the rendezvous and finds herself staring at her former OSIR colleague, Michael Kelly (Michael Moriarty). He tells her she and the team screwed up, and they should have let Katrina finish her work.
