Bascom) MAURICE DEAN WINT (Winger) MARIA DEL MAR (Sam Houston) NATALIE RADFORD (Nika) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE 1: SELLOUT When a television mogul enlists Beth Kittridge to head a research project aimed at eliminating Tek, Beth finds that she has been conned into a scheme to addict millions of unwitting viewers to a new form of Tek. Marty Dollar is a television mogul who owns an interactive cable-shopping network that rakes in millions. Claiming that he's also a humanitarian who wants to stamp out Tek use, he hires scientist Beth Kittridge to come up with a way of making Tek non-addictive. However, Dollar is merely using her for his own devious plans. She'll have to synthesize diphenarine, the addictive substance in Tek, in order to experiment. Dollar plans to put the diphenarine into the music players he sells over the air, turning millions into addicts and creating a world of demand for a product only he can sell. GUEST STARS: TORRI HIGGINSON (Beth Kittridge) BARRY FLATMAN (Marty Dollar) CYNTHIA BELLIVEAU (Trudy) BELINDA METZ (Hooker) MICHAEL CARUANA (Lyle Krebs) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE 2: UNKNOWN SOLDIER Jake befriends a beautiful young woman who turns out to be an enhanced "killing machine" - a military veteran with a resolute determination to kill Jake's boss, Walter Bascom. Electra is an attractive young woman - and a military veteran who was turned into an "X-Class Soldier." X-Class Soldiers are biologically enhanced "killing machines" with subcutaneous armor implants and cybernetically-augmented strength. After Electra assists Jake in a fight, he helps her get a job at Cosmos. Jake does not suspect that, by night, Electra is using her skills to assassinate those she believes are responsible for the atrocities of the war and the massacre of her fellow soldiers. GUEST STARS: JENNIFER GRIFFIN (Electra) BRETT HALSEY (Frederick Braymar) DANA BROOKS (Government Agent Shelley Grout) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE 3: TEK POSSE Jake is enlisted by the Tek Posse, a government-sanctioned military SWAT team chartered to hunt down Teklords. However, Jake becomes troubled when he witnesses how the Posse achieves its extraordinary success. Clean-cut, charismatic ex-attorney general John Grant creates a military SWAT team to hunt down Teklords. Informally dubbed the Tek Posse, it has a powerful new tool - a prototype mind prober that can act as a super lie-detector and confession-inducer. Grant recruits Jake away from Cosmos to join the elite Tek Posse. However, after an innocent civilian is accidentally killed during a raid, Jake begins to suspect that Grant's "door-kicking, no-warrant-needed, brute force" means aren't justified by the ends. GUEST STARS: TORRI HIGGINSON (Beth Kittridge) RON LEA (John Grant) CHRISTOPHER BRITTON (Janus) PATRICK McKENNA (Falcon) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE 4: PROMISES TO KEEP Jake is forced to choose between losing Beth to her college sweetheart or risking her death at the hands of the Teklords. Beth Kittridge gets a call for help from Tom Weston - the lost love of her life, who has been presumed dead for five years. Tom has stayed in hiding because his research has led him close to a means of eliminating Tek and, for this reason, the Teklords want him dead. Jake has to come to terms with his feelings for Beth and ultimately let her go where both her heart and sense of duty lead her. GUEST STARS: TORRI HIGGINSON (Beth Kittridge) DAVID CUBITT (Tom Weston) PATRICIA GAGE (Eleanor LaFerre) RICHARD SALI (Deekum) BILLY NEWTON-DAVIS (Haskell) TEX KONIG (Sagar) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE 5: ALTER EGO When a ruthless Teklord is imprisoned, Jake and Sid discover that they must outwit an even deadlier foe - a computer program that has taken over the likeness, personality and ambition of the jailed felon. Miles Connor, a powerful Teklord busted by Jake and Sid , has been sent into cryogenic incarceration for his crimes. However, Connor soon reappears in person and begins killing those responsible for putting him away. When Jake and Sid check the freezer to see if Connor has escaped, they find that he is indeed still in prison. They discover that the new Connor is a computer program - an artificial intelligence personality simulation that the "real" Connor developed in order to maintain his empire. The program, having inherited Connor's ambition, ruthlessness and desire for revenge, proves to be far deadlier than any human opponent. GUEST STARS: TOM McCAMUS (Warden) FRANK CRUDELE (Dallas Del Marco) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE 6: STAY OF EXECUTION When terrorist Alec Seeger takes over the global weather control system, Jake heads the manhunt for Alec, teamed up with a former terrorist who may very well be working against Jake. Terrorist Alec Seeger (BILL MACDONALD) has managed to take control of Weathercon, the global weather control system, and is threatening to unleash deadly storms unless his demands are met. Jake (GREG EVIGAN) is drafted to help in the manhunt for Alec, and is paired with Lianna Cruz (JENNIFER DALE), a former terrorist comrade of Alec's who has been serving out a prison sentence in the "freezer." If Lianna cooperates, the government will reduce her sentence. Their mission is to follow a lead to Yeltsingrad (one of Alec's old haunts), and use Lianna's knowledge of the city and Alec's other ex-comrades to find him. As they race against the clock, Jake has to find out whether Lianna is on his side - or simply setting him up for a fall. GUEST STARS: JENNIFER DALE (Lianna Cruz) DANA BROOKS (Shelley Grout) BILL MACDONALD (Alec Seeger) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE 7: KILLER INSTINCT Jake tracks down a deadly virus that incites people to commit random acts of violence. A street cop is gunned down in cold blood - by a clean-cut teenage boy. His father blames a controversial and ultra-violent interactive virtual-reality game in which cops and Teklords battle for supremacy. The game's manufacturer (JAMES MILLINGTON) denies responsibility for the killings. He claims that it is merely a game, and he can't help it if a few lunatics are going off the deep end. Jake (GREG EVIGAN) and Sid (EUGENE CLARK) soon discover that an unknown hacker has introduced a virus into the game to incite violent acts. Worse still, the game is only the beginning. The virus also shows up on the Adway and even on the police network, pushing normal people to commit enraged, destructive acts. Jake must find the hacker - before his own exposure to the virus pushes him over the edge. GUEST STARS: JAMES MILLINGTON (Harris Booth) ANITA La SELVA (Tanya) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE 8: CHILL FACTOR Jake and his fellow hostages must risk death by entering a deep level of cryofreeze and facing terrifying communal nightmares that can kill. Lowell (LAWRENCE BAYNE), a convicted felon who is about to be "frozen," injects himself with an inactive, non-virulent form of a deadly virus. The freezer's computer, believing a real infection is underway, automatically aborts Lowell's incarceration and "unfreezes" several other convicts to whom the virus has spread via the cry-support systems. Lowell, mobilizing these other convicts, takes the warden (JULIE KHANER) and several observers hostage. Unknown to Lowell, the freezer's computer has recently been upgraded to assume complete control of security - and is attempting to neutralize the virus by sterilizing the facility and killing everyone inside. Jake (GREG EVIGAN), who is one of the hostages, must convince the others that their only hope for survival is to fake death - by entering cryogenic freeze at a level deep enough to fool the computer into thinking they have died. However, at such a deep level of cryofreeze, the trerrifying communal freezer nightmares will also be intensified - and Jake and the others will have to endure hellish hallucinations that can literally kill them with their own fear. GUEST STARS: LAWRENCE BAYNE (Lowell) JULIE KHANER (Warden Caruso) NICOLE DE BOER (Tara) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE 9: DEADLINE Jake is hired by his arch-nemesis on the police force -- the android Winger -- in order to save Winger's life. Police android Winger (MAURICE DEAN WINT) is attacked by an assailant who steals his Cortical Relay Unit (CRU), a critical biochip, from his brain. Without the CRU, Winger's brain will deteriorate and he'll die within 18 hours. Winger cannot replace the biochip since a new law, "The Thornton Act," has outlawed the production of new androis and their replacement parts. Since the police force's policy is to phase out androids, he can't reveal the truth to them. Instead, he hires adversary Jake Cardigan (GREG EVIGAN) to find his assailant and recover his CRU. In his search for Winger's assailant, Jake is continously hampered by news commentator and media demagogue Gerald Rhodes (CARL MAROTTE), who is an avid anti-android activist and follower of the late Senator John Thornton. Rhodes is on a crusade, convinced that Thornton was killed by an android in revenge for his anti-android legislation. As he races against time to save Winger's life, Jake discovers that the most likely suspects are innocent while the most unlikely are guilty -- and, Rhodes campaign is different than it appears to be. GUEST STARS: BROOKE JOHNSON (Lucinda) CARL MAROTTE (Gerald Rhodes) DONALD BURDA (Norris) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE #10: CARLOTTA'S ROOM Jake is determined to learn the truth about a prostitute who appears too real to be the interactive computer-generated image her promoters claim her to be. Jake (GREG EVIGAN) is approached by his politician friend David Lane (GARY KRAWFORD), who has been frequenting a brothel and has fallen in love with Carlotta (CALI TIMMINS), one of the prostitutes. Carlotta is supposedly a virtual reality prostitute -- an interactive computer- generated program of a woman. However, David is convinced that Carlotta is not a creation of virtual reality technology...she is just too realistic. He believes that Carlotta is a real woman who is somehow being held prisoner and forced into virtual reality sex, transmitted by remote. When David approaches the brothel's madam (CHERYL MACINNES) to buy the "Carlotta" program, the madam refuses and instead attempts to blackmail David to vote affirmative on an upcoming cyber-property bill. A desperate David has turned to Jake as a last resort. Then, when David is murdered, Jake takes on the strange case in earnest and uncovers the sad story of Carlotta who, although not exactly a computer image, is not exactly the imprisoned woman David had in mind. GUEST STARS: CALI TIMMINS (Carlotta) DAVID CALDERISI (Rossi) GARY KRAWFORD (David Lane) CHERYL MACINNES (Honey Duran) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE #11 "DEEP COVER" Sam's first day at the Cosmos Agency may be her last when she is assigned to infiltrate a powerful mafia-style family. Cassandra Del Amo (MARLISE CHARLEEN RICARDOS) and her brothers Ian (MICHAEL RHODES) and Michael (VINCENT CORAZZA), the remaining members of a once powerful mob family, are determined to reign once more -- and by gaining access to a deadly nuclear arsenal, they'll have the tools to consolidate the Tek industry and rule again. The Del Amo organization is tight and Cassandra's favorite tool, a deadly mind-probe, makes it virtually impossible for outsiders to penetrate. Sam Houston (MARIA DEL MAR), the newest member of Cosmos and Jake's (GREG EVIGAN) new partner, agrees to infiltrate the family by allowing herself to undergo mind-sculpting, the only known method around the mind probe. Implanted with an alpha wave oscillator which stimulates her dormant personality with a new personality, Sam becomes Sabrina Daniels -- an outlaw whose father once worked for the Del Amos. Planted in a jail cell with the recently incarcerated Michael Del Amo, Sam/Sabrina ingratiates herself into the family by helping Michael escape and soon becomes Cassandra's protege. When a leak within the police department blows her cover, the Del Amos destroy the oscillator that keeps her true identity in check and Jake must race against time to keep from losing Sam forever. GUEST STARS: MARLISE CHARLEEN RICARDOS (Cassandra Del Amo) MICHAEL RHODES (Ian Del Amo) VINCENT CORAZZA (Michael Del Amo) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE #12 "CYBERHUNT" Nika finds herself on the other side of the law when an old friend from her renegade days lures her into using her expert hacker skills to locate and claim a long-lost shipment of bullion hidden in cyberspace. When Nika gets too deeply involved, Jake must defy orders to save his friend from the government, an underworld crime lord and the shipment itself. Nika (NATALIE RADFORD) feels that her expert hacker skills are taken for granted at the Cosmos Detective Agency and becomes enticed when Fab (FAB FILIPPO), her former partner-in- crime, gives her the ultimate challenge: find a long-lost shipment of bullion hidden in cyberspace. Nika accepts the challenge but soon discovers that she has violated Government Special Services cyberspace and is considered a felon. Meanwhile, Carlyle Rossi (DAVID CALDERISI), a terrifying underworld figure keeps a close watch on Nika and plans to let her find the shipment so he can claim it. Jake (GREG EVIGAN) desperately tries to get Nika to trust him in order to save her from the government, the crimelords and the shipment itself, which carries with it hidden danger.

Jake (GREG EVIGAN) is contacted by a mysterious man named Peter (PETER SPENCE) who praises him for his efforts in the war against Tek. Sensing a connection between his mystery caller and the recent deaths of two Teklords, Jake soon discovers that Peter, together with his sister Rachel (DEBORAH RENNARD), has concocted a potion that rapidly kills anyone who has ever used Tek. Although diabolical Teklords are the initial victims of this potion, Jake quickly realizes its dire implications. Asked to join in their cause, Jake, a former Tek user, must tread carefully as he tries to unravel Peter and Rachel's twisted plot before it ensures death of millions of innocent citizens. GUEST STARS: PETER SPENCE (Peter) DEBORAH RENNARD (Rachel) ----------------------------------------------------------------- EPISODE #14 "FORGET ME NOT" When Jake's memory is extracted by a former "freezer" cellmate -- who needs it to locate a hidden shipment of solid rocket fuel -- he risks falling into a permanent state of dementia. A dazed Jake (GREG EVIGAN) awakens from an alley bruised and bloodied and shows up at Cosmos with a significant memory loss. A doctor reveals to Jake that his memories have been extracted and that in a short time his brain will essentially short-circuit. Nika (NATALIE RADFORD) manages to identify a man named Artie (MAURICE GODIN) as another victim of memory extraction. Jake and Sam (MARIA DEL MAR) pay Artie a visit and discover that, although he is slow, he has total recall and has received many of Jake's memories as well as those of other people. Jake soon realizes that he, in turn, now has some of Artie's memories. Jake gets to the bottom of this mystery and finds out that during his term in cryogenic prison, the memories of the cellmates were inadvertently shared. All of those memories were then downloaded into Artie by Hermano Lobo (JOHN BOURGEOIS), a fellow inmate, so he can locate a hidden shipment of solid rocket fuel. Jake must prevent Lobo from getting to the shipment and regain his memory before its too late.

Feeling stressed by parental expectations and academic pressures, Dan (CHRISTIAN CAMPBELL) and his best friend Peter (MICHAEL GABRIEL) take a break from their studies and follow a mysterious girl named Tina (TANYA ALLEN) to a party. Tina lures Peter into a portal where he dons a headset and disappears. Jake (GREG EVIGAN) is rebuffed by Dan when he tries to help him find Peter. On his own, Dan locates Tina, enters the portal, wears the headset and disappears just as Peter did. Dan arrives at a self-contained "Utopia-like" environment where he meets Tina and Peter. Although this world looks real to them, they are, in fact in a comatose state and dreaming the experience. Dr. Golden (KATE TROTTER), the creator of this cybersphere, escapes before Jake can confront her. Jake and Sam (MARIA DEL MAR) soon discover that Dr. Golden is using the teenagers' minds to fuel an advanced computer and that it will eventually kill them. Faced with the prospect of losing his son, Jake risks his own life and enters the cybersphere, even though there may not be a way out.

Jake (GREG EVIGAN) can't believe it when Sharon Neville (STARR ANDREEF), a love lost many years ago, walks back into his life only to report her own murder. He's even more skeptical when she turns out to be a professional identity double who says the killer was none other than Sharon's husband -- Police Commisioner Bob Neville (GEORDIE JOHNSON) -- and that Sharon was murdered because she had evidence he was dealing Tek. When Sharon's body is found, Jake realizes the woman is telling the truth and goes after Neville. However, the Police Commisioner is one step ahead of him and uses his position and power to frame Jake for Sharon's murder. On the run from the police, Jake must turn to Sam (MARIA DEL MAR) to help prove his innocence and prevent Neville from releasing a massive shipment of Tek into the city.

Bascom (WILLIAM SHATNER) orders a reluctant Jake (GREG EVIGAN) to provide security for Frank Avery (RICHARD COMAR), a former mayor and Tek addict who is running for re- election. Jake, an admitted cynic who mistrusts politicians and Tek users, is slowly "won over" by Avery after the candidate saves a suicidal Tek Head and upon witnessing his daughter Gwen's (TARA ROSLING) genuine devotion to her father. Meanwhile, the Teklords have sent in Trask (WAYNE BEST), known as "the fixer," to foil Avery's campaign and ensure a victory for their figurehead candidate Kyle Brackett (PETER KRANTZ). Jake and Sam (MARIA DEL MAR) realize that Avery is being set up by someone with an advanced morph mask and frantically search for a nullifier to reveal his identity.

While monitoring an illegal weapons shipment at Teklord Julian Lambert's hideout, Jake and Sam find themselves in the middle of an ambush. Someone leaked information about the bust to Lambert. Suspecting a spy in their midst, Bascom hires security specialist Jeffrey Spader to plug any leaks that may be coming from inside Cosmos. Spader has carte blanche to keep an eye on everyone's activities and he's paying particular attention to Jake who, coincidentally, has been at the scene of every bust that's gone awry. He even knows that Jake has been having recurring nightmares - a side effect of his days spent in the freezer - and has been seeing therapist Janet Blake. When the subject of a security trace requested by Jake turns up dead, Spader figures Jake as the leak. And when Spader is found murdered after an altercation with Jake, even Bascom has a hard time believing Jake's innocence. Unbeknownst to Jake, he's become a pawn in a deadly game.
