Synopsis

Episode #201: "Threads"
Case File #262-201
Written by James Nadler
Directed by Milan Cheylov

In a frightening and bizarre late-night incident, two electricians at work on a building suddenly disappear, along with a huge part of the construction. A third electrician (Kathleen Laskey) survives, after responding to a mysterious phone call -- but not before she witnesses a blinding light enveloping her co-workers as they vanish with blood-curdling screams. Was it an alien attack? A lethal time warp? Or was it a more sinister, man-made weapon of destruction?

The Office of Scientific Investigation and Research (OSIR) arrives to investigate, but it appears some secretive tenants below the damaged floor are denying the team access. Chief Science Analyst Peter Axon (Barclay Hope) seems determined to find a way to test his theory of apportation, or is he just trying to prove himself to the new Case Manager, Matt Praeger (Matt Frewer)? Praeger soon shows his mettle when he saves Axon's life in the crippled building. Meanwhile, emotions come to the surface when it becomes increasingly obvious that Senior Analyst Lindsay Donner (Nancy Anne Sakovich) still blames Axon for their previous Case Manager's death.

The team finds two more players involved in the catastrophe; a homeless man (Bill Tarling) who witnessed the blinding light, and the building's manager, Andre Brock (Tony Nappo). But time is running out on solving the case when Praeger and Security Coordinator Ray Donahue (Peter MacNeill) determine the building is highly unstable, with other sections of the building in danger of disappearing. Finally they get a trace on the anonymous phone call which saved the electrician's life -- and track it back to Michael Kelly's (Michael Moriarty) base in Halifax. While Donner and Axon are sent to find out Kelly's connection, Praeger and Chief of Medicine, Dr. Anton Hendricks (Colin Fox), discover that a secret experiment with a digital beam may be the key to the mystery. When they trace the beam's arch, they find only grisly remains, including human flesh melted into electronic components.

Michael Kelly helps the team put the pieces of the case together by pointing them in the direction of Digiknight Industries -- a huge, faceless conglomerate capable of using human lives to test a potential weapons product. Donner links up Andre Brock as the Digiknight agent, but will the team get to him before the whole structure disintegrates and disappears?
