Recap
A car pools up to a manor on the outskirts of Los Angeles, and a tattooed man gets out. He goes up to the door and after being frisked, is allowed inside. He turns over a bag of money to a man and asks to be left alone. They're interrupted when they hear the sound of motorcycles outsides. The security men go outside but are gunned down by the four cyclists. The leader and the others think the tattooed man set them up, but before they can kill him the motorcyclists gun down everyone except the tattooed man, who is wounded but makes his escape out the back.

Episode Quotes
Carl: (opening voiceover) Before time, before light, before life itself, they say the Earth was formless, empty, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. That darkness hovers there still. Eternity whispering in the crash of the waves. Mysteries about who we are and where we come from. We suffer, we toil, we live and die. Never knowing why we're born into this life. Whether it's to serve good... or evil.
Perri: So what happened?
Jain: Why do you ask.
Perri: Because Kolchak's been acting crazy. Crazier than usual, anyway.
Carl's Contact: You of all people should know what the police find means nothing.
Agent Fain: You don't know... what you don't know.
