[x] Remove Ad
A series of murders mirrors a crime spree by a seemingly dead bio-terrorist who claimed he could kill with “hellfire.” The FBI and the pompous reporter who covered the original story think it’s the work of a copycat, but Kolchak is convinced the murders have more supernatural points of origin.

Episode Quotes
 
Carl: (opening voiceover) They’re in the news every day. Warnings about what you should eat, drink, breathe, think. In the modern world, fear of death isn’t a distant anxiety reserved for old age – it’s daily life. The ordinary no longer offers comfort – not when death can come any time. From any thing.
 
Perri: How long have you been working here?
Carl: Umm, about two months.
Perri: And in that time I’ve witnessed more freaky things then I’ve seen my entire life.
Carl: Thanks.
 
Carl: That would be the real-world explanation.
Anthony: I live in the real world, Carl – that’s the explanation I’m looking for.
 
Carl: Thanks for cutting us some slack, Tony.
Anthony: Try not to hang yourself with it.
 
Carl: (closing voiceover) Doug Pinaro lived with the fear he finally came to see. A fear I know too well, of a question that holds a terrible answer. Should I ever look into the eye of the monster I’m chasing…whose face would I see?
 
 
Analysis
 
This episode goes with a concept that series creator Jeffrey Grant Rice, and Darren McGavin, wanted to see done with the original Kolchak series: Kolchak investigating a case that didn't involve the supernatural. Writer Noah Baylin plays with the audience's expectations (and Kolchak's) by making it appear to be a case that does involve the supernatural. What really happens is that Kolchak is forced to look into the mirror as he deals with someone who has fought evil so long that he's become evil.
