Synopsis

Episode #207: "The Warrior"
Case File #371-211
Written by Rick Drew
Directed by Clay Borris

O.S.I.R. Case Manager Matt Praeger (Matt Frewer) and Senior Analyst Lindsay Donner (Nancy Anne Sakovich) attend a reception at the Abbott Museum of Art. Dr. Jeffrey Tompkins (Michael Burgess), curator of the museum, and Victor Sang (Robert Ito), the Consul General of China, unveil their latest acquisition: an ancient Chinese terra cotta statue. The statue is a rendering of a great warrior; one that is, however, missing its head. Dr. Sang returns to the statue its original sword.

When Dr. Tompkins returns to the museum later that evening, he's decapitated by an unknown assailant. At the same time, the warrior statue goes missing. And, in a macabre twist, the murderer has taken Dr. Tompkins' head. Donner and Praeger return to the scene of the crime, joined by Chief Science Analyst Peter Axon (Barclay Hope). Unable to find any firm forensic leads, Donner and Praeger turn to the academic genius Hamilton Darwell (David Fox). Darwell is an expert in ancient artifacts, despite the fact that he's completely blind. He confirms that Tompkins was using the museum to sell off antiquities, and gives them background on the statue, which they discover is a likeness of General Tse, a ruthless warrior for the first emperor of China.

Under strict orders from Director of Operations Frank Elsinger (Nigel Bennett), the team keeps their investigation quiet. But the upstart British journalist Jonathan Tucker (Peter Cockett) has reported the full story for his Internet tabloid, including O.S.I.R. case notes. As the team tries to find Tucker, Darwell meets a gruesome end when he's beheaded in his office, with the killer leaving Tompkins' head on Darwell's body. But this time the team has a solid lead: Darwell's voice-activated computer has recorded the murder.

Praeger consults Michael Kelly (Michael Moriarty) for more insight on the case, and together they lay a trap for Victor Sang, Tompkins' partner in crime. When Praeger and Donner pose as art buyers, they realize all their movements are being recorded by Tucker, who's been following them in an unmarked van. Tucker tells them he believes the warrior statue is searching for his missing head, a theory the team agrees with. Donner and Praeger discover Victor Sang has the head for sale, but before they can catch Sang with their ruse, Tucker becomes the next victim of the warrior's sword.

When Donner and Praeger meet with Sang in the Consulate basement, they are attacked by the warrior, now bearing Tucker's head. The warrior gravely injures Sang, who, at the last minute, shoots the warrior, shattering him to pieces. The O.S.I.R. case is closed on the warrior, the beheading murders officially unsolved.
