Description:
PARENTAL WARNING: Because portions of today's "Adventures in Odyssey" may be a little too intense for young children, we recommend that kids under the age of 10 listen with their parents. Kids, if your parents aren't with you, please get them before you listen. Continued from Part 1... Millie Shanks has decided it's time to tell the truth and she begins by explaining to Jack and Joanne that her husband was very secretive about his business. He was a board member for Andromeda and he provided a grant for Eugene's position at the college. (This explains why the money mysteriously came through in "Malachi's Message.") Armitage never told Eugene about it, but Millie thinks the research is frightening. She says Andromeda will do anything in their power to get it back. Meanwhile, Whit confronts the Dean and demands to know more. Under pressure, the Dean tells Whit that he got a grant from Andromeda for the radio wave study. The study was to convert radio waves to brain waves; the research would have incredible benefits for the handicapped and society at large. Eugene had a major break-through just before he stole the research. While they're talking, AREM pops up on the Dean's computer. Whit talks to him and says he wants to meet. AREM reluctantly agrees and says for Whit to come to the Skyline Motel that night at 6:00. At the same time in Chicago, Arthur Dent comes to Jack and Joanne's hotel room and says he has information about Eugene and Katrina. He says he'll show Jack some information if he'll meet him at the Andromeda Building that night at 5:30. Jack halfheartedly agrees. Back at Whit's End, Connie tries to avoid Mitch by ducking into a broom closet, but Mitch follows her. They talk about their relationship and Connie says she can't trust him. She asks about the picture of the woman in Mitch's briefcase. Mitch dodges answering her, but asks her to meet someone on Whit's computer that night at 5:45. He says that she has to do it if she wants to find out about Eugene. Connie is unsure, but Mitch says he'll prove himself to her. That evening in Chicago, Jack has a cab drop him off at his meeting place. He's nervous and asks God for a little peace. At the same time, Connie waits anxiously on the computer for her mysterious contact. Alex happens in the room and asks Connie what all the weirdness around Whit's End is about. While they're talking, AREM pops up on the computer. Connie begs Alex to stay and AREM tells her to intercept a file that will be coming from Campbell College to Andromeda. Alex tells her not to download it, but AREM is persistent. Connie, deciding to trust Mitch, decides to download the file. Meanwhile, Mitch sits at his computer and breathes a sigh of relief as the download begins. Suddenly he hears crashing outside. A man breaks through the door and barks, "Freeze! Don't move!" Back at Whit's End, Connie tries in vain to talk to AREM, but he doesn't respond. She asks Alex if she can look at the download alone. In Chicago, Jack decides that he's waited long enough. Dent is nearly a half-hour late. He heads to the cab, but Dent rushes up just as he opens the door. He starts to explain to Jack what he needs, when a car screeches around the corner. Dent roughly thrusts a package into Jack's hands and yells for him to "GO!" The cab drives off just as another car arrives. Mr. Charles, the mysterious man last seen in "Grand Opening," pulls Dent into the car and tells the driver to follow Jack. Jack's driver, however, puts the pedal to the metal and loses Charles's car. Charles demands Dent tell him what the package was and where it was going. Dent isn't talking so Charles tells the driver that it's time for another experiment. He says, "You're going to help us Mr. Dent, whether you want to or not." Just then back in Odyssey, Whit pulls up to the Skyline Motel. He sees police cars and officers all around. Uneasy, he walks up and eventually meets FBI agent Peter Bourland. Bourland tells him that he was investigating Robert Mitchell for serious computer hacker crimes. He tells Whit that Mitch went by the name of AREM, which stood for his initials (R. M.). He even used the name back in Boston. Then he tells Whit even worse news-Robert Mitchell is dead.
