Tonight, on The Sentinel.

They do research on insects there.

Are any of the insects that you work with here poisonous? Absolutely not.

Oh, yuck! Looks like spider bites.

What are those?

Barley weevil larvae. Are they dangerous?

Lethal.

I got a feeling something's going on at that X farm that I intend to

investigate. Drop it or he dies!

In the jungles of Peru...

The fight for survival heightened his senses.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before others see.

Sensing what others can't.

An ever -vigilant watchman in the war against crime.

What the hell is this place?

What are you doing?

I'm just fixing a fight.

I didn't see nothing, okay?

I didn't see... Look

at her

shapes. Look at her curves.

She's beautiful.

She's perfect.

You see, that's where we differ, Chief.

Those are adjectives that I'd reserve for something more female, you know,

something more human. Jim, we're talking about a 12th century Mayan urn from the

city of Chichen Itza. Looks like a bod that my Aunt Jean had on her counter.

This is a very significant piece, Jim.

You see, the Mayan people were the first people of the New World to keep written

historical records.

This was made for a member of the Royal Retinue, otherwise known as the King's

Watcher. The King's bodyguard. It could be, it could be, or it could be a

reference to an ancient Mayan fentanyl.

See, I'm going to try to pull clues off the urn itself, and the Yucatan

Institute has been nice enough to lend it to me. To me, for six weeks.

And it's supposed to arrive today.

I'm sure you two will be very happy together.

Ellison!

There's been an accident over at the university. I want you to handle it.

You figure that since I work on campus, that Jim will have the inside track.

No, his name was next on the roster.

Look, the head of campus security will meet you at the scene. I'm sure Sandberg

will be able to point out who he is with his inside track and all.

Pardon. Thank you.

Right.

Hey, Serena. How are you? I've never seen anything like this before.

Nothing.

Well, looks like spider bites. The welts have puncture wounds in the center of

them and lymph nodes are swollen.

So what do you do? Stick his head into a nest?

Mind keeping down your voices, please.

Nothing travels faster than rumors on a college campus.

Suzanne Tamaki.

How you been, Jim?

Fine, thanks. Nice to see you. You're with the campus police now.

And chief of security.

This is Serena Baxter. She's with the medical examiner's office.

Blair Thinberg is my associate.

Oh, Hargrove Hall, room 211. Yeah, how'd you know where my office is? I know

where everybody's office is.

Suzanne and I met on a counterfeiting case three years ago.

She was a detective with the Tacoma Police Department at the time.

That was another life.

His name is Fred Turlock.

Works for Buildings and Grounds.

He may have been drinking.

So what do you think, he passed out and fell in a spider's nest?

The question is, where's the nest? I haven't seen any sign of one.

Maybe he wasn't bitten.

May I see your tweezers for a second?

Find something?

This grass that's lodged in his boot might indicate that he was dragged from

someplace after he died.

Would you check his wrists for me?

It's got abrasions on both of them.

Yeah, that's how the body got here.

Let's not get carried away.

This is one of the safest campuses in the Northwest.

And a maintenance man running into a spider's nest is a far cry from murder,

Jim. No doubt. But even if there isn't foul play here, it's possible that

something dangerous is still running around that campus.

Looks to me like something a good exterminator could take care of. Yeah,

hope so.

Why don't you go ahead and call the pest control? We'll continue with the

investigation here.

You'll keep me informed?

Of course.

I'll check in with you later.

Good to see you again.

Nice to see you too, Suzanne.

Bye -bye.

Tacoma PD to campus security. What's the story there, man?

Sometimes the cops can't take the stress.

Got it.

Mr. Buckingham.

Oh, oh, here.

It's just a minute.

Yeah, okay.

Look, I'm sorry to bother you. I know that you're busy, but Central Shipping

said that they sent you my crate from the Yucatan by mistake.

You mean the Mayan urn, 12th century Chichen Itza?

Sorry, no, I haven't seen it.

This is crazy. They were pretty certain.

Well, I'll keep an eye out.

Okay, thanks.

Blair? Yeah? While you're here, I want to ask you... You know who Alex

Summers is?

Uh, yeah, yes, that kid genius from Canada. Came up here on a big

Physics major, right? And architecture, and neurolinguistics, and anthropology.

Come on, this kid must love to study. No, he hates to study. Nothing holds his

interest. He misses classes.

He doesn't turn in assignments.

He's in danger of flunking out. Are you kidding me? With his IQ?

Well, he needs a faculty advisor.

I'd say.

No, not me, Hal. Come on. No, don't do this to me. Just meet with him. I'm sure

he's a nice kid. He's a brat.

He's headstrong, stubborn, utterly convinced he is the only soul on earth

has a clue.

In short, exactly like... Like me when I first got here and you were my faculty

advisor? I guess what goes around comes around, huh?

Oh, I prefer to think of it as repaying a debt.

Can't I just default on a loan or something?

All right, I'll talk to him now.

Toxicology tests were positive for a traxotoxin, which is a spider venom,

specifically from a species called the funnel web spider.

A single bite could kill him.

Trolloc had 30 of them.

Much as I hate to face it, it sounds like you were right. We're probably

at foul play here. Yeah, but the kicker is this particular species is found only

within a 160 -kilometer radius of Sydney, Australia.

Well, the dean of science told me that there are no insect or arachnid studies

underway on campus. But now that we've identified the species, we'll start

investigating the possibility that they were brought in secretly.

Maybe on some plant from Australia or something accidentally?

By the way, here's Fred Turlock's work log you requested.

Thanks.

Monday, broken lock, science building.

Replaced circuit breaker, student union, stuck air vent, theater arts building.

Pretty standard stuff.

Tuesday, irrigation repairs, ex -farm facility.

What's the X -Farm facility?

It's an experimental farm. It's an off -campus research facility the university

runs. Where is it? A couple of miles north of the city. They do agriculture

research. What about insects?

I don't know.

Well, thanks, Suzanne.

It's very thorough.

You always were on top of your game.

Listen, I've got to get to a meeting at the Dean's. Why don't you meet me here

in an hour and take a drive out there?

All right.

See you.

Oh, I like kissing you so much.

Enzymes in your saliva.

You know every time you swap a bit, the chemicals in your mouth tell you if

you're compatible?

That's why it's so gross to kiss your sister.

Your enzymes can't hang.

Are you Sandberg?

Yes, I am. Hi, you must be Alex Summers. Thanks for stopping by.

Right, whatever.

Hello there.

Any time you'd like to explore our salivary compatibility?

Aren't you a little young?

Well, chronologically, maybe, but... From a genetic point of view, you're

better off pairing your zygotes with a genius like me than, you know.

Where did you learn to talk to girls? On the playground?

Hi, folks.

Hey, Jim. How you doing? You remember Molly, right?

Sure. And this here, this is Alex Summers. Alex, this is Detective Jim

Guess the Keystone Campus cops needed the big boys to help with that diff they

found in the quad.

What do you know about that?

I know. I saw you there yesterday, working the scene.

Rumor around campus says killer bees got them. Well, that's an interesting

hypothesis.

Yeah, and if I had the brains of most of the schmoes around here, I might even

buy it.

Killer bees are a media myth, but poisonous spiders aren't. You know, I

arachnids on a research grant when I was 12.

Look, if you fill me in, I'll help solve the case.

Well, maybe another time, kid.

Look, I'm not a kid, dog breath.

I bet my IQ's bigger than yours and his put together.

No doubt.

You don't want my help?

It's your loss, Sherlock.

Hey, wait a minute. What about our meeting?

Meeting's adjourned.

Appreciate you showing us around, Mr. Carlin. I'm always glad to show off my

company's facility.

But I'm not sure I can help you with your investigation.

We've been going over the victims' movements for the last few days.

our records, Sherlock was out here two days.

Right, to fix an irrigation pipe in the greenhouse.

Which he took care of and left.

You said your company's still in here.

I thought this was owned by the universe.

It is.

But Milford Technologies put the bill for the research.

It's our way of investing in education.

What sort of business are you in?

We do genetic engineering for agribusiness.

Crop hybrids, yield enhancers, things like that.

What about insect research?

Well, we do have a small entomology lab.

It's in the greenhouse.

Mind if we have a look?

Not if bugs don't bud yet.

These are my graduate assistants. This is Jaron Howell and Kate Freeman.

They're working on viruses designed to kill crop parasites.

This is Detective Ellison and Chief Tamaki.

What are those?

Barley weevil larvae. Are they dangerous?

Lethal. It's your crop of barley.

That's why we only work with sterile insects.

That way, if they escape, they can't reproduce.

Are any of the insects that you work with here poisonous?

Absolutely not.

Well, I think we've taken enough of your time.

Thanks again.

Let me show you out.

What are we going to do now? About what?

Darren, they know Trollock was here. They're on to us.

Look, they're just asking questions. I mean, we certainly haven't done anything

wrong.

Darren, a man is dead. A man who was nosing around where he shouldn't have

and was accidentally bitten.

Look. If it was an accident, then why did Carlin move the body?

He was scared that negative publicity might cause the university to shut down

research program.

What?

You don't believe him? Look, Sharon, the only thing I know is... What do you

know, Mr. Freeman?

Nothing,

Mr. Carlin.

I'm... I'm just not feeling very well today.

Why don't you take the rest of the day off?

All right.

One bite, and you'll be dead before you can dial the phone for an ambulance.

If I were you, Ms. Freeman, I'd be less concerned about Fred Turlock, more

concerned about myself.

Understand?

You know, your detective friend was pretty rude to me the other day.

Not to mention that, uh, baby we're smooching. Hey, hey, you weren't exactly

perfect picture of social grace as yourself, are there?

Look, the only reason I agreed to see you is because you said you'd give me a

driving lesson. The only reason I agreed to give you a driving lesson is because

Professor Buckner really wants this to work. Now, get in.

This is it?

Just get in. Hey, hey, hey, hey, be careful.

It's a classic.

You have to be gentle.

How about the key?

First, a few fundamentals.

Hey, save your breath. I wrote my first computer driving simulation when I was

10. Well, this is no simulator, my friend. You crashed a thing. You do not

depressed. Reset.

Okay.

Okay, all right, good. Now be gentle. Put it up in first gear. Put the clutch

in. Let her out.

Take it easy. Take it easy.

Hey, man, what are you doing? I'm driving.

Does Alex see what you made me do? Get out. You know, your shock's a little

mushy, eh?

Alex, get out of my car now.

Now! All right, fine.

Whatever.

Okay, Sandy, thanks for trying.

Jim,

it's been 36 hours since Turlock's body was found, and we still don't know if

we're dealing with some kind of natural infestation, a fugitive from an insect

experiment, or murder.

According to the medical examiner, Trelok's body had bruises on the neck

back, which indicated somebody was probably holding him down while the

bit him. Oh, great. All we need now is a suspect emotive and we're home free.

Tamaki is doing all she can to find out the sources for the spiders at the

university. I'm checking what sources I can, sir. We're going to come up with

something soon. I promise.

There are over 20 ,000 kids in that institution.

University president is all over me. He wants answers. I can't even give him a

spider.

This is not going to work. I mean, this kid, he's like fingernails on a

chalkboard. He goes out of his way to make people mad.

He's in a tough spot, Larry.

Intellectually, he is light years ahead of 99 % of his college peers.

Emotionally, he's still in the ninth grade.

Why stick him with me?

Because you were taking college courses when you were 16. If you think back to

what it was like, I am sure you can relate.

This kid, he's a social menace.

Try meeting him on his own terms.

Maybe he doesn't need a mentor. Maybe he just needs a friend.

Rock there?

Uh, just a minute.

Ah, right. Sorry.

His own terms.

Thanks, honey.

It's about time you called.

That shipment has been here for days.

You are not the only one who has to be careful.

I want it out of here.

Look, this is the last time.

After tonight, I want you to leave me the hell alone.

I want you to get that vase.

And while you're at it, I want you to have a little talk with Professor

Hey, Rafe, could you track down a report for me from Sandy Conover, Cascade

Pack, the local bug expert over there? I've got a feeling he's going to be the

one for me. Give me.

Bob Carlin just called me about our little visit yesterday.

What about it?

Milpa Technology spends over a million dollars a year on research at our

with another half a million in endowments.

If Carlin withdraws his support, there are people who will lose their jobs and

students who won't be able to afford to attend.

So that should stop me from pursuing a legitimate lead?

No, of course not.

It's just that politically it's a very sensitive situation. You need to be

of that.

Oh, I see.

Well, I'm aware of that.

It's just I got a feeling something's going on at that Axe farm and I intend

investigate it.

Then all I'm asking you is that you let me work with you on this, all right?

All right. I guess I could use your help, Suzanne.

It's your turf.

What are you doing?

I just came to hang out. What are you doing to my computer?

Just making some corrections to your notes on the somatic value of the

Mayan emblem glyphs. I'm sorry, you're doing what?

Oh, by the way, this Mayan urn is fake.

I'd say Mexican counterfeiters from the 1930s. Look, Alec, why don't you take

some of your smart -ass energy and apply it to what you came to college to do?

Oh, I forgot.

I'm supposed to be a good little boy.

do all my assignments, collect my little degrees, when the fact is I already

know more than you could learn in three lifetimes?

Academically, probably, yes.

But listen, man, you have got a lot to learn about life.

I don't need this crap.

I'm going to tell Buck and I want a different advice.

Great. Save me a phone call.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

How did I miss that?

Mr. Buckner?

What a mess.

Somebody really should clean that up. What are you doing in here?

Um... I, um... Come here, kid.

What are you doing over, huh? Spit it out.

Is it that obvious?

This kid, Alec Summers, man.

He breaks into my computer and he fixes a mistake that I made.

And then he tells me that my buy and earn is a fake.

How do you know that?

Jim, this isn't funny.

Goodbye. He's just trying to get your ghost.

He got a bunch of them.

All units in the vicinity of University and West. Reckless driver reported

heading west on University Drive. Possibly underage.

Suspect's vehicle is a gray 62 Corvair, plate number 743SFU.

Jim, that's my car. Yeah.

Force equals mass acceleration.

So...

All right,

chick, take it easy now. Come on.

Settle down.

What did you do to my car?

Why don't you go after that maniac?

What maniac?

The guy who was chasing me. What guy?

He was. I swear, I was in Buckner's office.

I found your phony Mayan urn. There was this cylinder in here.

Walk. I had it, I swear. It must have fallen out in a chase.

Yeah, right.

The urn was there. Ask Buckner. Oh, I'm going to ask Buckner. You can count on

that. But until then... Ellison here is going to put you under arrest for auto

theft.

Come on, come on. Chief, you were ignoring the facts.

Witness reports seeing a second car.

Jim, witnesses get things wrong.

Why are you letting this kid get under your skin like this? Because he stole my

car, and why didn't you arrest him? That's not what this is about. Jim,

exactly what this is about.

What?

Professor Buckner?

Professor Buckner?

Hello?

Does he usually leave his door wide open?

No.

No, he doesn't. That's weird.

Let's see. Look, there's no urn or nothing. I told you Alec made the whole

up.

What is this?

It's a piece of my Mayan urn. How did it get broken?

So I guess the kid was telling the truth, huh?

But I just asked Buckner about this yesterday.

Why would he lie to me?

Nelson.

Yes, sir.

When?

All right, we're on our way.

We got a problem with the professor.

Yuck! Gasgate PD?

It has all the earmarks of a suicide.

Hose running in from the tailpipe, window closed, engine running.

There was no sign of a struggle.

There was a note found on the passenger seat.

Apparently it was a victim of a major depression.

No. No, I don't believe that.

Hal was six months away from retirement. He even put down a down payment on a

house in the mountains.

I'd have to agree with him.

I don't think it was suicide.

Notice the way he's sitting.

Carbon monoxide would have made him more relaxed, put him to sleep. His body

wouldn't be so contorted.

Possibly. His jaw's clenched.

His fists are knotted up.

What do we have here?

It's a mark at the hairline.

I don't see anything.

It's a needle mark.

I'd bet an autopsy would reveal this guy's been injected with some sort of

paralyzing agent.

I thought when I took this job, I'd get away from crimes like this.

You think this could be tied into what happened to Turlock?

All I know is that you've got two deaths in four days on your peaceful campus

here.

Let's go, Chief.

Uh -huh.

Yes, ma 'am. I got it. Thanks.

Medical examiner says the guy was killed with a paralytic poison called Mercy

Quick. Evidently, veterinarians used it to put down sick animals.

I told you it wasn't suicide.

I still think they're covering up something for that experimental farm.

Research on insects there.

Turlock also did some maintenance work out there at one time.

Jim, but none of the insects are poisonous on the farm.

Well, that's what they tell you. You know, if Buckner was killed because of

Mayan urn, I bet they're after Alec and whatever this cylinder is. Who's Alec?

It's this... Teenage brat genius with a college I'm advising.

Why don't you see if you can track him down?

Right.

Jim, help me out a minute here.

So far we have two murders, poisonous spiders, a Mayan urn, a mysterious

cylinder, and a teenage genius.

I mean, this whole thing is really beginning to bug me.

You didn't just say that, sir, did you?

Yeah,

hi, listen.

I'm a work -study student from the anthropology department.

Yeah, the other day there was a crate from Yucatan that was supposed to be

delivered to Blair Sandberg in 211, but instead it was delivered to Professor

Buckner in 314.

Oh, really?

He asked you to?

Oh, no, no, no, everything's fine.

No, I'm just supposed to send a thank -you note to the sender only.

Stupid me, I forgot their address.

How hard can it be to find a 14 -year -old boy at a university?

I've been looking.

He's not in his dorm room, and he hasn't been to class today. I don't want to

hear any excuses.

I want you to go out there, get him, bring him back.

What?

Yeah, yeah, this is Bob Carlin. How did you get this number?

All right, I'll meet you.

Yeah, I know where that is.

Four o 'clock.

Looks like we're not going to have to go out and find that boy.

He just found us.

So, I'm curious.

Alec, is it?

How did you track me down?

Well, once I found out that the errand came from the Yucatan Science Institute,

I hacked onto their server and downloaded the shipping records from

email. And what did you discover?

That you and Buckner have been using the university's artifact shipments from

Mexico, smuggling exotic insects.

The question is, why?

Well, that's my business.

Where's the cylinder?

In a safe place.

How much do you want?

How much are you willing to pay?

You know, this is a little too public for this kind of negotiation.

Why don't we go someplace more private?

I like public.

Makes me feel safe.

Well, looks like you got it all figured out.

Looks like.

If you guys try anything rough, people will see.

You're right.

But you know what?

We don't care.

Hey, Mom. Hi there, stranger.

I haven't seen you for a couple days.

Yeah, look, I'm really sorry about that. I'm sorry I haven't called. A lot of

things going on.

How are you and the boy Wonder doing?

Yeah, the boy Wonder, right? That's actually who I'm looking for right now.

I gotta find him.

Do you need some help? Yes. I think that's him right there.

Come on. It's all right.

Right here in the car.

You'll be okay.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's the matter with Al? He only passed out in front of

the student union. We're gonna take him to the clinic.

Help me. Are you okay?

In fact, why don't you come with us?

Blair?

Blair, where are you going?

Where's the cylinder?

Blake, I'm going to tell you.

Listen, you little punk. You blowed out your ear, you oversized steroid -induced

mutant. Hey, Alec, let's not provoke these guys, all right?

Relax. They're not going to hurt us. And if they do, they'll never see their

precious cylinder.

What are you doing?

Don't count on it.

Come on, man.

This isn't funny.

I've got to think about spiders.

You're arachnophobic?

Well... You know, I'm sure you're smart enough to know how deadly these guys

are.

I'm going to start counting.

I get to five, and you're going to find out that your fears are totally

justified.

One. Come on, let him go.

I'll deal with you later.

Two.

Three.

Four. Right!

I hid it in Blair's office.

Hargrove Hall, 211.

Taped the underside of his desk. Go get it.

You better be telling me the truth.

Hey, Jim.

Hey, Suzanne. What's going on?

I took a drive out to the X -Farm like you asked me to.

No sign of Carlin. In fact, the whole place looked pretty deserted.

Excuse me.

Allison.

Yeah, Molly.

No, I haven't seen him yet.

But do you know what they look like?

Well, what kind of car were they driving?

All right, just sit tight. Don't worry, we're going to find him.

Thanks.

That was Sandberg's girlfriend.

Said she and Sandberg saw a couple of guys putting Alex into a car.

And Sandberg went to find out what was going on and got in the car with him and

they took off.

What kind of car?

A Jeep Cherokee, green.

Do you know anybody at the university that drives one of those?

Paul Carlin.

Let's go.

Right where you said it was.

Call Jaron and Kate.

Tell them to go back to work.

We got the breeders.

I still don't get it.

We got a whole lab full of insects here. Why smuggle more in and less?

All the insects here are sterile. And the ones in the cylinder, huck.

Why don't we just drop this, okay?

You're developing some kind of super breed, aren't you? An insect that kills

crops and that nobody can stop?

Well, what's the value in that? Alec.

I've got it. You've also developed a virus to kill it. So you unleash the

then sell the virus. The farmers will have to pay whatever you want because

you're the only ones with the solution.

Smart kid.

I try.

Think about this, genius.

If I had any doubts about killing you before,

They're gone now.

We don't have a warrant. We don't have probable cause.

Do you want to turn around and call it a night?

No.

Here.

Take my backup.

That's not my style anymore, Jack.

If they've got hostages, it might be your only choice.

I know Captain Hollander in Tacoma. He told me what happened.

The rest of the dispute and how we threatened to kill her if you didn't put

your gun. I know about it.

I thought if I did what he said, he'd let her go.

Instead, he picked up my gun and he shot her.

And then he shot himself.

I wanted you to stay on the force.

I couldn't afford to make that kind of mistake again.

Then this job comes up.

University campus, I think. What could possibly happen?

Then Turlock dies, you show up.

And all of a sudden, my favorite little college world starts to fall apart.

The only way to deal with your past is to face it.

Check the perimeter.

You've already killed two people and the police are suspicious.

If you kill us, you're finished.

Wrong.

If I don't kill you, I'm finished.

The way I see it, there's not a whole lot of difference between two murders

four.

Freeze! Put it down.

You put it down.

Now!

I don't think so.

That's got to be the police.

The best thing that you can do right now is to put your gun down and give

yourself up.

The best thing I can do right now is get the hell out of here.

Here.

Even I and my friends, will you?

You've got to get me out of this.

Oh, jeez.

Those are funnel -up spiders.

Bad news.

All right, now just calm down.

Don't look at them.

Don't look at them and just breathe, all right? You don't bother them, and they

won't bother us.

Oh, yeah?

Should I call for an ambulance?

No, don't bother.

I just wanted to stop him.

Look, you did what any good cop would have done.

You all right?

Yeah. All right, use the radio in my truck and call for backup. I'm going to

inside. Sandberg and the kid are in there somewhere.

All right, just don't freak out, man.

Don't let him get me.

Don't let him get me, man.

What the hell did you do to that arachnid study with this phobia?

My shrink said that it would help, but it didn't.

All right.

So try not to move.

Try not to move.

Keep breathing. Don't look.

Mind of yourself.

All right, take him covered.

If he tries anything, blow his kneecaps off.

Not that close to your face.

They're on your jacket, but you're calmed down.

It looks like too close for comfort here. I know.

Calm down.

They won't.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Alec, just calm down. They're perfectly still.

They won't bite you.

Oh, please.

Clara, I think I'm going to be sick.

Well, that wouldn't be good. Now, I got an idea.

All right? Now, stay calm.

Now, just straight back, just like I told you, all right?

Tell me when to go.

Now, there's one on your foot. Don't move. Don't move your feet, Jess.

Get off his foot.

Now?

No, no, no, no.

No, not quite. Almost.

Get me out of here, Officer.

Detective.

It's a good game, boys.

Aren't you in the showers?

It's fun, James.

It's real fun.

Nice job. Hey.

All right, just relax, man.

Can't believe you've never done this before. Well, COVID can affect my
