This is a mistake!

Yes?

Yes, I understand.

I'm sorry, eli,

Your stay of execution
has been denied.

Is there anything you wish
to say before...?

Please, I'm innocent.

This is a
horrible mistake!

No!

He's not dead.

My god,
he's still alive!

Put him back in the chair.

You can't do that.

Judge avery.

He's right.

He was sentenced to die.

And he was declared dead.

You can't execute
a man twice.

I want to know
what it did to him.

Hey! Bobbidy-do-bop!

What are you doing?

I'm trying to make my lightning
lamp sensitive to music.

Why should your lamp
be any different than you?

I'm talking about ohms
and watts here.

I'm talking about electricity
and music meeting together

As one in harmony.

I'm talking
about the visual

Extension of the...

Electronic music age.

Ah, a modern-day version

Of the van de graaff
generator, huh?

You know how to make this, uh,
work in time with the music?

Yes, of course, but we've
something more pressing to hand.

One of the query letters
that we sent out

To lewis' old customers
came back stamped

"no forwarding address."

Well, that happens
all the time.

Ah, yes, but this time
and in this case

I think that that particular
purchaser of antiques

Chose not to be followed.

No, they're using an alias:
Dr. Christian lindheim.

I checked with
the medical association.

They never even heard
of a doctor by that name.

What did lewis sell him?

An electric chair...

A real one.

All done.

I hope that didn't hurt
too much.

I've always been opposed
to causing pain.

Didn't feel
a thing, doc.

This gas is ultra euphoric.
Very '60s.

Nitrous oxide.

It tends to take the edge off.

I gotta tell you,
the muzak is a plus idea,

But generic pop is a void.

Try somethin'

More progressive.

Okay.

How long you been
a dentist?

It's a semi-grim job.

A long time.

I studied dentistry
back in the '70s,

But I got sidetracked.

I went back to school because
I like this profession.

Kids-- you fill me with energy.

Bizarre.

I like it.

Dr. Lindheim?

Please,
come in.

I, uh... Just wanted
to tell you how lucky

We all feel to have
had you with us

At haverstock
this last year.

Most dentists of your caliber
wouldn't come near

A reform school.

Well, I'm happy to hear that,

But it's really no sacrifice
on my part.

These kids, they give me just
the kind of... Stimulation

I need now.

Well, they sure seem
to like you, too.

Which, uh, makes
it all the harder

To tell you the news:

The school's closing
down in two weeks.

Why?

You know
the bureaucrats;

A matter of funding,
among other things.

I'm just as sorry
about it as you are.

� �

I'm sorry, eli.

Your stay of execution's
been denied.

No!

The electric
chair hadquite a history.

It was installed
in 1937.

There were 19 men executed
in it, 18 of them successful.

You mean,
someone survived?

In 1978.

Fellow by the name
of eli pittman.

He was convicted
of murdering his girlfriend.

The chair gained
a certain... Notoriety

After pittman lived through
his execution.

That's where
it used to be.

The chair was never used
after the pittman incident.

It was sold to a private
collector, I believe.

Uncle lewis?

Uh, whatever happened
to pittman?

Oh, that's the sad part.

Turns out
that he was really innocent.

Another man confessed
to the killing.

I always had a feeling
about pittman.

Even tried to get him
a stay of execution.

Can you imagine being innocent
and still getting executed?

Mm. Well, he must have been
in pretty bad shape, hmm?

Yeah, he was.

A little while later,

He was transferred to the
temple hills mental hospital.

Well, I'd like to stay

And help you some more on your
book on infamous antiques,

But the wife says dinner
6:00 sharp,

And I don't like
to keep her waiting.

Oh-oh, of course not.
Thank you very much, warden.

You've been more help
than enough.

I'm dr. Lindheim.

Nice meeting you.

Open.

Yeah.

I'll bet you chipped that
lateral incisor in a fight.

Same thing happened

To me once.

You get in plenty of fights
when you're an orphan.

You're an orphan, too?

Yeah.

Tough break, isn't it?

No family, no friends,

No one who cares
whether you live or die.

I had a girlfriend,

But she's been gone a long time.

Now all I have is my work.

You and the other kids,

You help me to live
a full life again.

You give me the juice I need
to go on, and I appreciate that.

You're okay, doc.

Power...

Please...

I'm innocent.

Put him back in the chair.

This is a
horrible mistake.

He was sentenced to die.

Yes?

Mr. Kendricks...

I'm dr. Christian lindheim.

We spoke on the phone.
Oh, yes. Come in.

Sit down-- can I get you

A cup of coffee?
No, thank you.

I must say,

I'm thrilled to have
a former district attorney

Willing to
discuss my case.

Normally I wouldn't,
but it sounded so intriguing

I could hardly resist.

You say you have proof

That an innocent man
was convicted of murder?

Indeed I have.

I'm most interested.

A potential settlement

For any lawsuit
would be astronomical.

Excuse me, dr. Lindheim...

H-have we met before?

Ten years ago.

I'm eli pittman.

That was not

My fault.

The evidence was...
Was conclusive.

Oh, I know.

I think that, um...

That under the circumstances--
excuse me--

It would be best if
you would leave now.

Yes.

I think it would
be best, too.

Jack.

We found all kinds of stuff
on pittman in the library.

I made xeroxes
of everything.

It's terrible
what happened to him.

Yes, yes, it was.

He was discharged
from the hospital

About eight months
after the failed execution.

Apparently, he was something
of a legal embarrassment.

There was no precedent
to hold him.

Where is he now?
Well, nobody really knows.

He was an orphan,
so there were no relatives.

Let me have a look

At those clippings,
would you, micki?

Dear god!

What is it?

Daniel kendricks.

He was electrocuted
in his office last night.

It was on this morning's news.

He was the d.A.

Who prosecuted pittman?

Yes, uh, this is
speed demon courier service.

We have a package here
for judge joseph avery.

We need to verify when
he'll be home for delivery.

Thank you.
You've been very kind.

Get this, eli pittman was a fourth-year
dental student at state university.

Phi beta kappa,
no less.

How could I be
so stupid?

Dr. Christian lindheim,

The man who bought
the chair from lewis.

I'd assumed that he was
a medical doctor.

Never even thought
about him being a dentist.

What are you saying?

No wonder
the medical association

Didn't have any record on him.

The dental association
just might.

You're not thinking
that dr. Lindheim

And eli pittman
are the same person?

That's exactly
what I'm thinking, micki.

You just scared
the hell out of me.

I'm sorry, melissa--
I didn't mean to.

I knocked, and I thought I
heard you tell me to come in.

I was just
on my way out.

Yeah? You're not a narc
or anything, are you, doc?

Come on. I just came by to see
why you missed your appointment.

What appointment?

They didn't tell you?

I have to check that crown
I cemented last week.

You've been excused from class.

So... History
class is history.

Uh-huh.

I like it.

You gonna give me some more
of that funny gas?

Of course.
Anything you want.

Look, if pittman is lindheim
and he's got the chair...

Yeah, but what's the chair
got to do with it?

I'm not even sure
right now.

But first thing we have
to do is find pittman.

Or lindheim. And warn all the
people that he may be after.

All the people in those photos?
Mm-hmm.

But what are
we gonna tell them?

Well, first, micki,
let's hope that they're still alive.

Now, let's have a look
at that lower cuspid.

Can we crank it up a bit?

No, not the music.

I'm talking gas.

Melissa?

You in there?

That crown's just fine.

You know, doc...

You're a nice guy,
not like the suits.

Sorry to disturb you, doctor--
have you seen melissa duvall?

She didn't show up
for her history class.

No, I'm afraid
I haven't, mr. Downing.

Hmm. Well, if you should see her,
would you give me a buzz?

Absolutely.

Judge joseph avery,
24 west 59th street.

You sure he's gonna be home?

Yes, I talked to him--
he said he's gonna be home.

No way was I gonna talk to him
about this stuff over the phone.

Can't wait to see you
explain it to him in person.

Judge avery.

Yes?

Who is that?

An old friend
with an ethical question.

Are you the young man I spoke
to on the phone earlier?

I'm afraid we haven't spoken
in ten years.

The ethical question
I mentioned

Is as follows:

What would be the proper...

Or rather,
the judicial form of punishment

For someone who wrongfully
executed an innocent man?

I want to know...
I want to know...

What it did to him...
What it did to him.

I want to know...
I want to know...

What it did to him...
What it did to him.

I want to know...
I want to know...

What it did to him...
What it did to him.

You!

Don't you come any closer!

Gladly.

Get out of the water!

What's wrong?

You got the keys?!
Give me the keys!

You've got the keys!

I must have dropped them.

He's going to
electrocute us!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Lock the doors.

I saw this on the news.

Lightning...
Lightning hit the car,

And the guy inside
wasn't hurt.

There was something
about it, uh...

Grounding out
or something.

Just don't touch
anything metal.

It seems to be stopping.

I'll go find the keys.

Jack, I'm telling you,
it was unbelievable.

I mean, this guy
had a zillion volts

Coming out of
his fingertips.

Did you see his face?

No. I didn't get
a good look at him.

Well, this is hardly
what I expected.

You mean, this man is becoming

Some kind of a transformer
or capacitor,

Using electricity to kill?

Jack, every single
person in those photos

Has turned up dead--
accidental electrocutions.

All of them?

Of all the ones we've
been able to track down.

I mean, there is a group photo
with not everyone captioned.

Here it is.

Now, we haven't been able
to I.D. This man

And a couple of guards.

Well, warden hobbs should
be able to help us there.

Ryan, you'd better
check with him.

I've also been able
to discover the whereabouts

Of dr. Christian lindheim.

You're kidding.
Where?

The dental association had
a record on him, all right.

He's on staff at that old
haverstock reform school.

I've made arrangements for us
to pay them a little visit.

Buying antiques?
What else?

Well, if lindheim and
pittman are the same person,

You guys better be wearing
your rubber boots and gloves.

Yes. Some storm.

And, like a fool,
I forgot my rain boots.

They certainly
can come in handy.

Yeah.

Tell me, why exactly is
this facility closing down?

Oh, funding mostly.

See, most of our kids are
runaways and orphans.

That's not high on a
politician's priority list.

And, of course,
there's a high rate of escapes.

We lost three
kids last month.

Down here, we've got

Turn-of-the-century
wall fixtures,

Beveled leaded glass.

We've even got an
antique french bathtub.

I'm sure you'll find
something interesting.

That's what we hope.

I understand
that you even

Have your own
staff dentist here.

As a matter
of fact, we do.

Mr. Downing,
please pick up extension 440.

Excuse me.

Downing here.

Oh, of course. Yeah.

I'll be right over.

Thanks for seeing
me again, warden.

Just had a few more details to
pick up for the last chapter.

Certainly. Anything
I can do to help.

Now, these are
all the people

Who witnessed eli pittman's
execution, right?

Yeah. That's correct.

This guy right
here-- we haven't

Been able to I.D. Him.

That's
patrick streidall.

He was the jury foreman
during the pittman trial.

These people must feel
terrible about what happened.

No doubt about that.

So do you know
where we might be able

To find mr. Streidall?

Not really. He originally
lived in brookville.

Brookville. Well,
that may be able to help.

I have some
more information

In my personal
files at home.

You're welcome
to come over tonight

To go through
them if you want.

Maybe after we
have some dinner?

6:00 sharp, as usual?
Well, I...

Peggy's making
meat loaf.

That sounds delicious.

Why don't you
let me give you a call?

I gotta get together
with my partner,

See what he came up with.

Good. Yeah.

According to
that directory,

His office is in the
main building, room 144.

Well, it's a good
place to start.

Eh...

Dr. Lindheim,
you wanted to see m...?

Dr. Lindheim?

You look like
a classical fan to me.

How about a canon
in d major?

Fine.

What did you tell them?

Tell who?

I don't understand.

Open.

The two who were
asking questions...

The old man and the girl--
who are they?

What did you say to them?!

Antique dealers.

Why... Why are you doing this?

No, no.

No, no.

This way.

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry,
mr. Downing,

But I had to be sure
no one suspects.

I assure you,
all pain

Will be gone
in a matter of seconds.

Look, there it is.

Jack, he must have
gone out this door.

Yeah.

Micki!

This is the
electric chair.

He's using this
for dental work?

Look at this.

Pass me that syringe.

See if you can
find a small cork

From one of
those bottles.

Here.

What are you doing?

Magnetizing
this needle.

You're making a compass.

Pittman obviously has a huge
charge of electricity.

Well, this may just
draw the needle.

But we found the chair. Why do
we have to go after him?

The chair's not going
anywhere for a while,

But pittman
evidently is.

His business must
not be finished.

Look.

Do you hear that?

Yeah.

It's just a transformer.

Whoo!

Well, at least
we've recovered the chair.

Whatever charge he has
is gonna have to last him.

I still don't understand
why he didn't try

To electrocute us.

He's saving it
for his next victim.

You got the chair back.

Yes, indeed we did.

What did you turn up?

Well, the guy in the photo,
he turned out to be

The jury foreman.
He's dead.

We should've found
some way of stopping pittman.

Well, no, it wasn't pittman.

He died ten years ago,
right after the trial; cancer.

So, we've got no more victims
and we've got the chair.

So it looks like
our job is done, huh?

There is a killer
on the loose.

There's no way
to prove it.

You don't understand!

Ah, ryan,
we think he's been getting his energy

From killing kids.

You know, those
supposed escapees

From the reform school?

Great! Just great.

And we're not at all

Sure that he has
no more victims.

He left without trying
to electrocute us.

He's obviously not finished.

Well, who-who could it be?
I mean, everybody

In that photo is dead.

Who says it has to be someone
in the picture?

That's right!

Who was in charge
of the execution?

Who gave the, uh, go-ahead
to throw the switch?

The warden.

It's a recording.

All the lines are down in the
area because of the storm.

We have to warn him somehow.

I'm afraid we have
to do more than that.

Warden hobbs invited me
over for dinner tonight.

He said he'd be home
at 6:00 sharp.

It's almost 5:30.
We can just make it.

What time is it?

It's 5:57.

How was the office
today, dear?

Good. Good.

Not as good as being
home with you, though.

Aw...

Has our dinner
guest called?

No, but, uh,
the phones are out.

I'm sure
he'll be here shortly.

Okay. I'll be up
in the study.

Okay, you turn left
at the next corner

And it should be down
two blocks.

You said he was weakened

When he grabbed hold
of the hood ornament, huh?

Yeah, yeah.
He barely had enough energy to run away.

Must've been grounded out or
short-circuited in some way.

We must try and find a way
to make that happen again.

Oh, you must be
ryan dallion.

I'm glad you could join us
on an awful night like this.

Is something wrong,
mrs. Hobbs?

No, no, not at all.

I, uh, I just pictured you

Much younger from my
husband's description.

I'm sorry, that must have
sounded terrible.

Don't give it a second thought.

Is the warden around?

He's just upstairs.

I-I'll let him know you're here.

No!

I'd like to surprise him.

I think he'd appreciate it.

Of course.

Dinner's almost ready.

Who are you?

I'm so sorry, eli...

Your stay of execution
has been denied.

Is there anything you wish
to say...

...Say before...?

Eli...

Good god!

Yes, may I help you?

Mrs. Hobbs, I'm ryan dallion.

But who is that man upstairs?

It's pittman.

Eli pittman?

Yes. No, wait, wait.

Call the police.

The-the-the phones
are still out!

Micki, take her and go
and get some help.

Yeah. Come on, let's go.

Ryan, get the jumper cables
out of the car,

And then attach
one of the claws

To the plumbing,
to the radiators,

Furnace, anything.
Anything that'll ground it.

I wondered about you, eli.

Warden hobbs,

Get away from him!

Stick around.

I'm sure there'll
be enough of me

Left over for you.

It's not gonna
work, pittman.

I've witnessed the whole thing.

You're more than welcome
to watch.

And I'd love to hear your
explanation to the police.

Pittman,

We've got the chair.

It's all over.

You're a dead man!

Ah, nothing like the sun.

Yeah, can't say
I miss the storm,

But the lightning
was kinda fun.

Speak for yourself.

Yeah,

Electricity is one of nature's
most powerful elements.

Used properly, it can save
millions of lives

Through modern medicine.

Maybe someday
even take us

To the farthest reaches
of the universe.

Not to mention
power my stereo.

Thank you very much.

I guess the list of applications
does go on into infinity.

But used wrongly, ooh!

How's it coming, jack?

It's finished.

It looks the same to me.

Well, there are a few
little delicate adjustments.

Put your hand
on the globe.

Go on, go ahead,
it won't shock you.

No pun intended.

Ooh...
This is pretty cool.

It kinda gives me
a tingling feeling.

Yes, I'd say
it's a success.
