SELLOUT
(Episode 1): 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. Story by Morgan Gendel, Westbrook
Claridge, Clifton Campell. Teleplay by Richard Manning, Hans Beiller, Directed by William

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

TEK POSSE
(Episode 3): 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. Writers Richard

PROMISES TO KEEP
(Episode 4): 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. Writer James Kahn, Director Allan Kroeker.

ALTER EGO
(Episode 5): 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.

(Episode 6): 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. Writer Marc Scott

KILLER INSTINCT
(Epidoe 7): 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. Writer Barry M. Schkolnick, Director Stefan Scaini.

CHILL FACTOR
(Episode 8): 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. Writer Robin Jill Bernheim, Director Bruce Pittman.

DEADLINE
(Episode 9): 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. Writers J. Larry Carroll, David Bennett Carren, Director Allan Kroeker.

CARLOTTA'S ROOM
(Episode 10): 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- enerated 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.

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. Writer Robin Jill Bernheim, Director Allan Kroeker.

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

and Sam (MARIA DEL MAR) pay Artie a visit and discover that, although he is slow, he has

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

cybersphere so she can use their minds to fuel an advanced computer. 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

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

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

(Episode 17): Jake reluctantly provides security for an ex-Mayor and

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

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. Writer Lisabeth
