Episode Quotes

Opening Narration: In the troubled places of the world, the Devil's Hunter finds rare game. For man-made savagery is only the instrument for a secret terror stirring from its dark place of ambush...

Closing Narration: Man looks up at the stars, and dreams his futile dreams. Child of the universe, his toys are ignorance, his games, fantasy. Not even master of his own fate, it is the Devil's Puppeteer who stretches his fingers to answer the question: What will happen next?

Adam Ballard: Whatever that project is, I got the impression that these men hate what's happening to them! Hate what they're doing even if they're unwilling to do it! Not just frightening it but it is terrifying! These men are tormented and unable to control themselves...
