Season One Disc Two

Ghost in the Machine

The teaser starts with two men in the company offices of Eurisko software.

One, a well dressed executive, the other a t-shirt clad programmer.

 They argue about the decision being made to lower research. The executive tells the programmer that it is no longer the programmer’s company. The programmer leaves telling the executive he will regret his choice.

 We next see the executive through the eyes of a security camera in the company’s main computer room.

The executive finds that the automatic faucet in his personal rest room has overflowed the sink. As he checks it out a phone rings(I wonder how many executive bathrooms have a phone in them-not to type of business I would want to do there). As he answers the bathroom door locks in him. His electronic key does not work.

 He uses a metal key in a keyhole. As he puts the key in, he is thrown across the room by and electric shock. He is dead.

 In the computer room, we hear the computer (C.O.S. for Central Operating System) announce “File deleted.”More on Season One DVD Two – Ghost In The Machine

A secretary is packing someone’s office belongings into a box.

The photographs on the wall show a man posed with various top government officials (like former President Clinton). She is nearly in tears. 

A coworker comes in to give her a paycheck. From their conversation we learn that the secretary’s boss had committed suicide. The coworker tells the secretary to go home.

 As she leaves, a quote from Benjamin Frankin, “One To-day is Worth Two To-morrows,” suddenly moves across the desk behind her back.More on Season One DVD Two – Shadows

The Jersey Devil

This episode starts with one of those scenes shot to look like it happened in the 1940’s.

A family car is stuck with a flat tire outside of Atlantic City.

At this point the man decides it would be faster to ask his wife to hold the flashlight while he changes the tire. Just as he asks the wife to hold it he is dragged off by something unseen. We last see his legs as he is dragged deeper into the woods, the wife screaming for him.More on Season One DVD Two – The Jersey Devil
