00:00To be continued...
00:09Brendan, hold up!
00:12Why'd you run out of there like a bat out of hell?
00:16Someone called me. They need my help.
00:18Who?
00:19Dr. Palance, an old psychiatrist friend of mine.
00:21Wow. I'm impressed.
00:23I think it's high time you start to deal with your inadequacies.
00:27Very funny.
00:28Back in high school, I had a choice between juvie or court-appointed therapy.
00:33Dr. Palance, the first person I told about my mutant ability,
00:37is the head of the psychiatry department at St. Pastors.
00:40What? St. Pastors?
00:46Someone I know spent some time there.
00:49What's going on?
00:51About 15 years ago, there was a fire.
00:53Wiped out the entire psych ward, killed eight people, mostly children.
00:57Now, since then, there's been talk that the place was haunted.
01:00Now, it's been vacant until now, but since it's reopened,
01:02there's been reports of paranormal activity.
01:06You know, bizarre stuff that defies explanation.
01:08I'm going with you.
01:10I didn't know you believed in ghosts.
01:11I don't.
01:12Then why are you so anxious to tag along?
01:15Let's just call it research.
01:18Fine. I have no idea what to expect.
01:22Yeah.
01:24Well, what?
01:30Well, what's she doing?
01:31Let's just leave it with me.
01:39It's real.
01:40No.
01:40You, baby, don't say hi to her.
01:44No.
01:45No.
01:46No.
01:49Yes.
01:51I'm walking for a whole thing
01:55Mama's gonna buy you a light and ring
01:59If that's a light and ring
02:02I'm gonna buy you a looking glass
02:35Oh no!
02:38Get away!
02:41A little bit of a horse and a cart break down
02:45This can be the sweetest little baby in town
02:51It's just that ever since you got that call, you've been a little edgy
02:53Well, Dr. Palance isn't the kind of guy to ring the panic bell easily
02:57I mean, you should have heard him, you sounded really scared
02:58I told you to leave
03:01This place is mine
03:17Scientist Adam Kane was a pioneer of genetic research
03:22Manipulating DNA to save human lives
03:25But in many, their genes unexpectedly mutated
03:29And they developed superhuman abilities
03:32And they developed superhuman abilities
04:02Together, four of the most powerful fight to protect a world that doesn't even know they exist
04:10They are Mutant X
04:19I really didn't know who else to turn to
04:21I understand
04:22Look, I'm glad you called me
04:24Guess our timing couldn't be better, huh?
04:27You know
04:28It's kind of a brutal way for a patient to commit suicide, though, isn't it?
04:31It wasn't a patient, it was an orderly
04:33As far as I know, he had no history of mental illness
04:36Did anyone see what happened?
04:37I did
04:40I was mopping the halls when he ran past me
04:42He looked really out of it
04:45How do you mean?
04:47Terrified
04:48It was like he was running from something, but nothing was there
04:51Well, did you try and stop him or call for help?
04:53No, it happened so fast
04:57Bad things happened at this place a long time ago
05:00Horrible, unspeakable things
05:04I should get back to work
05:07Dr. Palance, the police need a statement
05:12Ah, Dr. Ouellette
05:13These are investigators from the state board
05:15Brennan Mulray and Lexa Pierce
05:18Dr. Ouellette is head of our administration
05:21No one's more surprised about this tragedy than I am
05:24Yeah, and we were told he had no history of mental illness
05:26That's not uncommon
05:27Often suicidal tendencies are hard to predict
05:29Wouldn't you agree, Dr. Palance?
05:34Well, however I can help you in your investigation
05:36Please let me know
05:41She's wound a little tight
05:43Ever since the hospital reopened
05:45She's been trying to distance herself from the negative publicity
05:48What negative publicity?
05:50That same past is cursed
05:53So many children's lives were lost in the fire
05:56That people began to proclaim that the place was haunted
06:02And I take it you agree
06:04Well, let me show you something
06:08Maybe it's just some neighborhood kids playing a prank
06:11Well, this is not the first time it's happened
06:13It started the day the hospital reopened
06:16But no matter how many times we paint over it
06:18The words always bleed through
06:20We'll never think of hanging a picture
06:23For some reason, this is where most people claim to see the strangest activity
06:27The cleaning crew swears
06:28The place is infested with cockroaches
06:32We've had exterminators comb through the building
06:34They never found a thing
06:35Who's room was this before the fire?
06:38Well, it was all part of the children's psych ward
06:43If you'll excuse me
06:51Maybe it's a message from a patient's health insurer
06:55You know, maybe you could reserve judgment until after we've had a chance to look around
07:02Well, I can certainly try
07:09Hey, Jess
07:10Yo, what's up?
07:15Do me a favor
07:16Can you start digging up everything you can in the fire of St. Pastor's?
07:19Sure
07:21What's that all about?
07:22I don't know
07:24Just let me know whatever it is that you find out, huh?
07:26Fact or fiction
07:28All right, I'm on it
07:30So, um
07:32Are they still at that place?
07:34Yeah
07:37Show what's up with you in psychiatric hospitals
07:40Look like you'd rather walk into a wall of fire
07:43Yeah, well, if you spent half the time I did
07:45In the place my father threw me
07:47You'd probably feel the same way
07:50Just the thought of setting foot in a hospital like that again
07:52Just makes my palms sweat
07:56Crazy, huh?
07:57No, not really
07:59Lots of people are nosochomophobic
08:02A, uh, intense fear of hospitals
08:06You're kidding, right?
08:11You spent the night in your chat room talking to people about panic disorders, didn't you?
08:16You say that like it's a bad thing
08:26You're welcome
08:46You're welcome
08:51You're welcome
08:52I mean, it's kind of like it's a bad thing
08:53Kind of so
09:08And that, like, you were welcome
09:11I know
09:12It'suerse
09:23I'm not losing my mind.
09:24Nope.
09:36I'm curious, doctor.
09:37Why did you call the board without first consulting me?
09:40I'm the head of psychiatry.
09:41I felt it was warranted.
09:43You realize the media frenzy this is going to stir?
09:45I'm surprised Channel 6 isn't outside right now
09:47doing a piece about the ghost of St. Pastors.
09:49You'd like that, wouldn't you?
09:51What are you talking about?
09:52Victor, this is a small hospital.
09:54You don't think I know you're the one responsible
09:55for this growing hysteria.
09:57A man has died.
09:58You can bury your head all you like.
10:00I'm not going to stand by and do nothing.
10:02If I were you, I'd tread very carefully, doctor.
10:05I'd hate for the psychiatric community
10:07to catch wind of some of your fantastic theories.
10:18Joanne, do me a favor.
10:19Call the board and find out whatever you can
10:21about the team they sent over.
10:35Did you find something?
10:39I wish.
10:55Excuse me.
10:56I want to ask you a question.
10:58I'm looking for one of the other janitors here.
10:59He's a tall, lanky guy, mid-20s.
11:02Nobody here fits that description.
11:04You sure?
11:05I was just talking to him outside.
11:07Buddy, I've been here since 8.
11:08The only janitor on duty is Carl,
11:10and he's in his 60s.
11:16Ah, forget it, I found him.
11:18Hey, buddy.
11:19Hey, buddy, wait up.
11:35I did a general search for St. Pastor's in the net.
11:39I know.
11:40I can't believe all the stuff you found.
11:41Oh, read it.
11:42It'll make you think twice about things
11:44that go bump in the night.
11:47So they never determined the cause of the fire.
11:49No.
11:50No.
11:51All it says is that the ward was cut off
11:53by a wall of flames.
11:56Oh, this is creepy.
11:58It says that cleanup workers claim
12:00to have heard a child's voice
12:01echoing through the corridors.
12:03Yeah.
12:03It's just the tip of the iceberg.
12:05Over the years, there have been countless stories
12:07of paranormal activity.
12:09It's part of the reason the hospital
12:10remained closed so long.
12:13Oh, my God, these were just kids.
12:17They weren't even in their teens.
12:19Yeah.
12:21Yeah.
12:40Aren't you a brave boy?
12:44Haven't you heard?
12:46Strange things have been happening around this place.
12:49Yeah.
12:50I guess it's a good thing I don't scare easily.
12:53I see that.
12:56They look lost.
12:57Can I help you?
12:59Yeah, I'm actually looking for one of your janitors.
13:02About, uh...
13:0223.
13:03Sad eyes.
13:05Yeah.
13:06He's down below.
13:08I'll take you there.
13:11They actually let you smoke in here?
13:13Shh.
13:14I have to sneak them.
13:19Hush, little baby, don't say a word
13:23Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
13:27And if that mockingbird won't sing
13:32Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
13:36And if that diamond ring turns brass
13:41Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass
13:46You have a really nice voice
13:48Thank you
13:53A compliment like that deserves a kiss
14:02Watch out!
14:09What are you doing?
14:11What happened?
14:12Well, Brandon was just about to take one giant leap from mankind
14:16She was just taking me down to see the janitor
14:19Who?
14:20The nurse.
14:21She was right here
14:22What did she look like?
14:23Was she wearing an ID badge?
14:26Uh, no, not that I remember
14:28Um, she, uh, she had short dark hair
14:31Um, with, uh, short sleeve, uh, uniform
14:34Kind of purple and green
14:36Well, that can't be, Brandon
14:37Those uniforms have been phased out
14:39After the fire
14:47Your personal files dating back before the fire
14:49I think so
15:03Guess I'm not the only one who likes to spend time on the net, huh?
15:08Did you know that all the children that died in the fire were wards of the state?
15:12They were all being treated for different phobias?
15:14Yeah, I read that
15:16I would like to know what they were doing to those kids
15:19Well, you might get your wish
15:22I found the only survivor from that ward
15:26Her name is Sandy Fetko
15:28She was nine years old when it happened
15:52That's her
15:55Donna Campbell
15:56Are you sure this is the woman you saw?
15:59Positive
16:00She died in the fire
16:01There's a notation right here in the record
16:04I see that
16:08Well, I'm telling you, Lex, she was real
16:09Yeah, I could practically taste the smoke from her cigarette
16:15Well, it says here she was head nurse at the children's psych ward
16:19Hey, what's Project IET?
16:21It's got her initials all over it
16:22I'm not sure
16:23It must be one of the studies they were working on at the time
16:25How do we find out more about it?
16:27Well, the fire was contained at the children's ward
16:30I believe all the records were boxed up, labeled, and then put down into storage
16:34We should be able to find them there
16:36Let's go
16:40You know, for a skeptic, you're starting to sound awful lot like a believer
16:53You know, she might not be here
16:55I can hear her in there
16:56I know she's home
17:03Miss Vetco?
17:05Yeah
17:06Hi, I'm Shalimar Fox, this is Jesse
17:09Hi
17:10We wanted to ask you a few questions about St. Pastors
17:15That was a long time ago
17:17I mean, I was barely ten years old then
17:22Well, you must remember something
17:26Uh, well
17:28Actually, it turns out that I block most of it out
17:32Doctors say that's really common after a traumatic event
17:37Yeah
17:39Most, but not everything, right?
17:42Well, no, I mean, all I remember is
17:45I was waking up and there was smoke all around me
17:50How'd you manage to get out?
17:52Nurse Campbell, she saved my life
17:54She went back in for the others, but
17:58But she never made it out
17:59Um, look
18:00I'm really sorry, I wish I could be more help, okay?
18:02I'm sorry
18:03I think she's holding out on us
18:08How could you tell?
18:10Call it feral intuition?
18:20This place was built during the Cold War in case of a bomb attack
18:24The idea being that the entire hospital unit could be mobilized from down here
18:29I think we'll have better luck if we split up and search
18:32Shout if you find anything
18:36Since Sandy won't talk to us
18:38I thought we might find some answers by looking into her medical records
18:42Apparently, Sandy was agoraphobic
18:45And after the fire, she was transferred to another clinic
18:48Where they discovered she had been given a steady diet of cortisol
18:53Stress hormone
18:54Yeah, but that doesn't make any sense
18:56I mean, a phobic is stress 24-7
18:58Why would they give her something to increase her fear?
19:00I don't know
19:00It explains why she doesn't want to talk to us about it, though
19:03It must have been living hell for her
19:05Yeah
19:34What do you want?
19:36You're not welcome here, doctor
19:52No!
19:54Brandon!
20:12This place is mine!
20:14This place is mine!
20:18This place is mine!
20:35Help me!
20:43Dr. Peltz!
20:47Oh God
20:50There's no heartbeat.
20:51I'll go get help.
20:52There's no time.
20:57Stay with me.
21:09Doc, come on!
21:17Relax, Dr. Bellis. Just breathe, okay?
21:18Now, don't speak.
21:20Wait.
21:21Bring the little boy.
21:24Did you see him?
21:26I did.
21:29Earlier when we were looking around.
21:32Now, just let him take care of you, okay?
21:41Why didn't she say something earlier?
21:45Because it doesn't make any sense.
21:49I guess I'm just not ready to start believing in ghosts just yet.
21:52Then how do you explain what the hell is going on here?
21:55Okay, fine.
21:57Let's say the boy is a ghost.
22:00Probably one of the kids that died back in the fire.
22:02Maybe Jesse can get an ID?
22:04Yeah, it's worth a shot.
22:07Hey, what's wrong?
22:09I never should have left Dr. Palance alone.
22:11None of this would have ever happened.
22:13You really care about him, don't you?
22:16I was really messed up back in high school.
22:18I was going down a really bad path.
22:22He was the first person that really gave a damn about me.
22:28Well, don't worry.
22:29He's going to pull through.
22:36Alright, I got a match to the boy from the hospital.
22:40Thanks.
22:42There we go.
22:43His name's Johnny Cummings.
22:45He's among the original patients in the psych ward.
22:47Yeah, but according to this, he's listed as one of the victims of the fire.
22:51He's dead.
22:52Yeah.
22:53So what?
22:54We really are dealing with ghosts?
22:56Well, there's one way to find out.
23:07Anywhere in his condition?
23:09He's stable at the moment.
23:10What were you two doing down there in the first place?
23:12Well, we were looking for records on Project IET.
23:15For what possible reason?
23:17Well, we think there may be a connection to what's been going on here.
23:20I take it Dr. Palance has shared some of his theories with you.
23:23Look, like it or not, there's definitely something going on at your hospital.
23:26Yes, a phenomenon known as collective delusions.
23:29Mass media, rumors, so-called eyewitness accounts are all contributing factors.
23:34Hold on.
23:35What you're trying to say is that the orderly's death, Dr. Palance's heart attack?
23:39I'm certain they convinced themselves that what they were seeing was real,
23:42but I believe it's all simply part of the collective delusion.
23:45Yeah, I think that's a very possible scenario.
23:48Look, if you really think looking over those files will be helpful,
23:50I'll print out everything I've got.
23:52Thank you. That'd be great.
24:30Oh, you really had me worried, Doc.
24:32Yeah, me too.
24:35He was so real, Brennan.
24:38He wasn't a figment of my imagination.
24:40I could reach out and touch him.
24:42I believe you.
24:44Yeah.
24:46Doc, the boy you saw was Johnny Cummings.
24:49Does that mean anything to you?
24:51Why should it?
24:53I'm just trying to figure out why he targeted you.
24:57Whatever it is, spiritual or otherwise,
25:02doesn't want us here.
25:04I sensed an incredible amount of anger.
25:08He wanted me dead.
25:10Yeah, well...
25:12He almost got his wish.
25:14What's going on here, Brennan?
25:16I don't know.
25:19But I plan on finding out.
25:29That's odd.
25:29According to the hospital database,
25:31all files pertaining to Project IET
25:33were destroyed in the fire.
25:34Isn't there some sort of backup?
25:36I'm sorry.
25:37Excuse me a moment.
25:39Yes?
25:40You don't look too busy with you right now.
25:42The state board didn't send you.
25:45I see.
25:49All right, who are you and what are you doing here?
25:52I'm sorry?
25:53According to the state board,
25:54there's no record of anyone investigating this hospital.
26:09That's weird.
26:10What?
26:12I mean, Johnny was an orphan, right?
26:14No next of kin?
26:16We'd leave him flowers.
26:17Good question.
26:22I think I've hit something.
26:26So there's no knowing what this body's going to look like.
26:29It might not be pretty.
26:32No.
26:35All right.
26:53Dr. Ouellette, please.
26:55You're lucky I'm not pressing charges.
26:57Where's your friend?
26:58Escort her out.
27:00I'll find him myself.
27:05It's okay, boys.
27:06I can take it from here.
27:12Dr. Lawrence, find a tree.
27:47I can take it from here.
27:51Oh, my God.
27:59I can take it from here.
28:46Hey, come on.
28:47Come on, let's go.
29:00Doesn't make sense.
29:02Why would they bury an empty casket?
29:04Maybe they didn't know the casket was empty.
29:08I've got to leave him to his mother.
29:10Her name is Wanda Morgan.
29:13Little Johnny was born in the summer of 1980.
29:17Right around the time Genomex's embryo research was in full swing.
29:20That's right.
29:21His mother's being treated for infertility problems.
29:25Johnny's a mutant?
29:26I'm thinking of psionic.
29:27Who else would have the power to cast delusions?
29:29But what I don't get is if Johnny didn't die in that fire,
29:32then what's he been doing with his life?
29:34Maybe he never left the hospital.
29:36I mean, think about it.
29:38It's all he knows.
29:40In a sick way, that's home.
29:41Yeah, but all this time hiding in the shadows.
29:45Any hint of threat, he goes into ghost mode.
29:46Scares away any intruders.
29:48Until now.
29:49The hospital reopened.
29:50He must think it's all starting up all over again.
29:53That's what this is all about for him shutting him down.
29:57And I bet I know who put the flowers on Johnny's grave.
30:01Who?
30:04Look, I already told you everything I know.
30:06What about Johnny Cummings?
30:08He's dead.
30:09No, he's not.
30:12No, that can't be right.
30:16Look, Sandy, I need you to help us before anybody else gets killed.
30:50What is she doing?
30:58It's supposed to be a new kind of treatment for panic disorders.
31:03They called it intensive exposure therapy.
31:07Thanks.
31:09The idea was to have a patient repeatedly confront their fears in a controlled environment.
31:16So the cortisol was given to enhance anxiety?
31:20When the drugs were off, the theory was that phobia would be cured.
31:26Hey.
31:34Johnny was entomophobic.
31:37It's an intense fear of insects.
31:40They terrified him.
31:44It was horrible.
31:46It was like living in a 24-hour nightmare.
31:51And the worst part was listening to all the screams of the others, but there was nothing we could do.
31:56There was nothing that any of us could do, and Johnny just had it the worst.
32:06Let me out!
32:09He was in the room next to mine.
32:13He used to scream until he could barely speak.
32:21The only way I could calm him down was if I would sing Hush Little Baby to him.
32:28Sometimes I'd sing for hours until he finally fell asleep.
32:39He's the one that started the fire, wasn't he?
32:45He's the one that started the fire with me.
32:47Nurse Campbell used to go for a smoke between sessions in the supply room.
32:54Johnny knew it.
32:56And so one day he snuck down, and he turned on all the valves on all the oxygen tanks.
33:05So her cigarette would have become an instant torch.
33:10That room must have gone up in seconds.
33:16Johnny's the one that saved you, isn't he?
33:23Look, Sandy, I need you to come back with me to St. Pastor's.
33:29You're the only one that can get through to him.
33:32One man has already died.
33:33I can't go back there!
33:36I know how you feel.
33:37No, you don't!
33:38I do.
33:41Trust me.
33:42I've got my own war wounds when it comes to institutions.
33:46We need to stop him.
33:54How could any doctor watch this and not realize this project was a complete failure?
33:58The manufacturer of the synthetic form of cortisol prescribed to the patients was Trendall Labs.
34:04It's the same company that owns St. Pastor's.
34:07Talk about a conflict of interest.
34:10Using these poor kids as guinea pigs.
34:13Who's in charge of all this?
34:19Dr. Denise Ballette.
34:47Dr. Denise Ballette.
34:47Where is everybody?
34:48Where is everybody?
34:54Something wrong, doctor?
34:58You look a little surprised.
35:00Dr. Denise Ballette.
35:00This isn't happening.
35:02Dr. Denise Ballette.
35:02Oh, but it is.
35:05So you're the one who's responsible.
35:08I don't know what you're talking about.
35:10Project IET?
35:12You ordered the experiments.
35:16Sorry, Doctor.
35:17This time you can't get away.
35:21I won't let you.
35:27Guess who got over his fear of bugs?
35:58I'm going down.
36:19No, I can't.
36:20I can't do this.
36:21I can't.
36:23She all right?
36:24Yeah, I got her.
36:25Just get in there.
36:26All right.
36:30Hey, I'm not going to let anything happen to you, OK?
36:32Promise.
36:36Come on.
36:39I can't find Dr. Bullett anywhere.
36:41Three guesses where she went.
36:43We had to destroy what evidence is left of Project IET.
36:49Forget it. Stairs.
36:55Anybody call for a locksmith?
37:00How does it feel to be helpless, huh?
37:04No way out?
37:07I wanted to hear you scream.
37:13You can pay for what you did to us.
37:19Stay away.
37:22I'm not playing with you anymore!
37:29This is as real as it gets.
37:32Yeah, maybe we should do what he says.
37:34You drop satellite, we're all toast.
37:39Come on, Johnny.
37:41Come on, you don't want to do this, man.
37:43You know what I want.
37:44You know what they did to you.
37:47Yeah, but this isn't going to solve anything.
37:50It ends right now.
37:56Well, baby, don't say a word.
38:01But he's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
38:05If that mockingbird don't sing.
38:11He's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
38:14Sandy.
38:16Johnny.
38:18No, please don't do it.
38:21I have to put an end to this, Sandy.
38:27I'm tired of being afraid.
38:32I can't live like this.
38:36I know.
38:38But this isn't the way.
39:07You're never meant to hurt the other children.
39:09You gotta believe me.
39:11I know.
39:14I just wanted to stop.
39:28What happened to Dr. Ouellette?
39:30Well, she'll survive.
39:33But she's finally gonna have to answer for what went down here 15 years ago.
39:37Well, I'm not a vindictive person, but I think there'll never really be any true justice here.
39:42Well, I am a vindictive person, and if it were up to me,
39:46I'd pump her sorry ass so full of cortisol it'd make her hair turn white.
39:53But that's just me.
39:56I should let you get some rest.
40:06Look, Doc, I never really had a chance to say this years ago.
40:10I know, Brandon, I know.
40:16Thanks.
40:19I always knew you'd turn out okay.
40:34Now it's gonna happen to him.
40:40I guess now he'll get the help he deserves.
40:47He's not a bad person, you know. He's just...
40:50He's just broken.
40:51Okay.
40:55I think we're a little broken from time to time.
41:28What happened to his handcuffs?
41:31What happened to his handcuffs?
41:47Oh, by the way...
41:48...
41:53Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
42:00Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
42:07And if that mockingbird won't sing
42:13Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
