===Episode 1===
We saw into the strange stalking dreams of San Francisco homicide detective, [[Bryan Clauser]].  The dreams began when he and his partner [["Pookie" Chang]] started investigating a string of gang related disappearances.  The three disappearances are all marked by two common things: There are signs of violence but no bodies and someone has urinated all over the crime scene.  Tong member [[Johnny Yee]] is the fourth such crime figure to vanish. Rival mob boss [[Frank Lanza]] phones [[Johnny Yee|Yee]] to tell him he had [[Johnny Yee|Yee's]] wife and child right before someone attack [[Johnny Yee|Yee's]] hideout and killed his crew.  A heroin addicted bummed by the name of [[Aggie James]] was grabbed off the streets.  He was too high to see who had taken him but in the few moments that he could actually open his eyes, what he saw of his abductors made him think he must be hallucinating.  Lastly teenage outcast, [[Rex Deprovdechuk]], is severely beaten by [[BoyCo]], a gang of teenage toughs that have tormented him for years.  The [[BoyCo]] gang savagely broke [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex's]] arm leaving [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex]] to walk to the hospital alone.

===Episode 2===
Street bum [[Aggie James]] wakes up in a white painted dungeon along with crime lord [[Johnny Yee]], [[Johnny Yee|Yee’s]] wife and his seven year old son Eric.  Chained at the neck the adults were left in their cells force to watch as strange, small men dressed in hooded robes came into the dungeon and dragged the boy away.  Meanwhile, [[Rex Deprovdechuk]] went from one bully to the next when his foster mother, [[Roberta]], arrives to pick him up from the hospital.  [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex]] ended up in the hospital as a result of [[Alex Panos]], the leader of the [[BoyCo]] gang, breaking his arm when he put two wooden chunks beneath his wrist and his elbow and stomped down on the arm section in between.  The bad dreams also continue for Detective [[Bryan Clauser]].  This time his dreams grew from bad to worse as the recurring dream of stalking the teenage boys leaps to cornering and butchering one with his teeth.  The dream seemed so real and so usually satisfying that [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] finds he wakes up with an erection.  Upon waking, he again feels an unseen presence and quickly scribbles a symbol on a pad of paper.  After calming down he phones [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] who listens to his dream and banters boyish insults with [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] to help him laugh it off.

===Episode 3===
[[Bryan Clauser]] and [["Pookie" Chang]] arrive at a murder scene and realize that the victim is the teenage boy [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] dreamt of killing the night before.  Every aspect of the murder scene matches [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan’s]] dream leading him to wonder if he could have done the grisly deed.  [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] cautions [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] not to talk to anyone about he dreams as it could land him as the primary suspect.  Police Criminalist [[Sacha "Sammy" Burzon]] and Crime Scene Photographer [[Jimmy Chang]] deliver the body of the murder victim to Medical Examiner [[Robin Hudson]], [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan’s]] ex-girlfriend.  She began her preliminary examination and immediately saw what she thought were tooth marks on the victim, one [[Alex Panos]], leader of the [[BoyCo|Boys Company]] gang.  The marks looked deep and jagged as if someone had bit down on [[Alex Panos]] and shaken him as a dog shakes a chew toy.

===Episode 4===
Homicide detectives [[Bryan Clauser]] and [["Pookie" Chang]] had to report to SFPD of Police Chief [[Amy Zou]].  We learned that [[Amy Zou|Chief Zou]] and Sub Chief [[Sean Robertson]] have some knowledge of the strange symbols that appear in [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan's]] dreams and at the crime scenes of the murder of [[Alex Panos]].  [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] had the symbols analyzed by [[John Smith|John "the Black Mr. Burns" Smith]] a member of the Gang Task Force of the SFPD.  [[John Smith|Smith]] found no history of the symbols; they appeared to be new.  The symbols ''do'' have a history however -- a history that has been erased from the computer system.  [[Sean Robertson|Robertson]] knows that history and calls an unknown contact to inform him that [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] and [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] are investigating.  The contact asks if [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] should be eliminated and [[Sean Robertson|Robertson]] says, ''"No...not yet."''

===Episode 5===
[[Rex Deprovdechuk]] skips school and revels in his previous night’s dream he has of being something less than human and killing the bully he hated so much, [[Alex Panos]].  When [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex]] learns of [[Alex Panos|Alex’s]] death from the headline of a newspaper, he finds the latent courage to intimidate a bum for change and attack a good Samaritan. [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex]] had wished for respect from others and this time he hadn’t run; he hadn’t cowered; he had attacked and fought back – he was feared and he liked the way it felt.

[[Robin Hudson]] runs genetic fingerprinting on the saliva of [[Alex Panos|Alex’s]] murderer, and what she finds seems quite strange. She finds signs that the killer was male but also finds evidence of [[Wikipedia:Klinefelter's syndrome| Klinefelter's syndrome]].  She calls her mentor and former professor Dr. Stone Mason to confirm her suspicions but Dr. Mason gives her another possibility – that the killer could have been a brother and a sister.  Meanwhile, an update on [[Aggie James|Aggie’s]] withdrawal reveals that the tiny robed men once again dragged away a prisoner – this time it was Barbara Yee.

Bryan dreams of stalking yet another [[BoyCo]] gang member but this time he hears the voices of [[Sly]] and [[Pierre]] who Bryan describes as being thick with a green snake-like face – a nightmare.  [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] wakes and calls [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] hoping to stop the murder from happening, but instead he watches as the boy in his dreams falls off a roof.  Feeling detached and controlled by an external force, [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] pulls out his gun nearly kills the boy. 

===Episode 6===
San Francisco Homicide Detective [[Bryan Clauser]] continues to doubt his sanity as the murders that haunt his dreams parallel real life corpses.  Two boys from a high school gang are dead and two more are missing.  [[Bryan Clauser|Clauser]] and his partner [["Pookie" Chang]] tried to find out more about the strange symbols that accompany the murder sites.  They consult [[Mr. Biz-Nass]], a [[Wikipedia:Tourette syndrome|Tourette’s]] afflicted fortuneteller who knows more about the San Francisco occult scene than anyone else.  [[Mr. Biz-Nass]] said that the symbols were from a cannibalistic cult known as Marie's Children.  The symbols should be in the police database with a serial killer known as the ''Grand Park Slasher'' but they are not.  Another mystery that [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] and [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] have to check out.  Medical investigator [[Robin Hudson]] is running DNA analysis on saliva samples found on one of the murdered boys.  The samples reveal a bizarre YZ chromosome pattern instead of the normal XX for female or XY for male.  Stumped by these results she consults with [[Stone Mason|Dr. Stone Mason]], a renowned geneticist and her former professor.  Street bum [[Aggie James]] remains trapped in a white dungeon.  He doesn’t know where he is and he doesn’t know who put him there.  All he knows is he's trapped with gang lord [[Johnny Yee]].  He was trapped with [[Johnny Yee|Yee]] and his wife and son but strange whispering little men took away first the son and then the wife.  [[Aggie James|Aggie]] is left chained to a wall wondering if he will be taken next.

===Episode 7===
Mafia kingpin wannabe [[Frank Lanza]] had Tong leader [[Johnny Yee]] removed.  No one really knows what [[Frank Lanza|Lanza's]] plan is or how he is making his move but key crime leaders from many different syndicates have been disappearing leaving only blood shell casings and urine left by unknown assailants. San Francisco Medical Examiner [[Robin Hudson|Robin Hudson's]] genetic analysis of the murder victim, [[Alex Panos]], turned up a bizarre Z chromosome.  She's called in geneticist [[Stone Mason]] for help and together they try to analyze what this mutation could mean. Galileo High School Principal [[Kyle Souller]] was brutally murdered outside his San Francisco apartment.  Someone punched a hole right into [[Kyle Souller|Souller's]] heart and left him on the sidewalk to die.  He is the third victim from, Galileo so far, including [[Alex Panos]] and [[Paul Fischer]].  [[Kyle Souller|Souller's]] murder was witnessed by [[Marco Gastineau]].  Gastineau had been kicked in the testicles and taken to the emergency room.  He walked out of the hospital at 3:00am.

===Episode 8===
Mafia boss [[Frank Lanza]] met with [[First Born]] and Tricky Dick, two members of ''[[Marie's Children]]''.  ''[[Marie's Children]]'' had been running hits for the mob, taking out [[Frank Lanza|Lanza's]] competition before they even knew [[Frank Lanza|Lanza]] was back in town. ''[[Marie's Children]]'' had been holding [[Johnny Yee]] and his family in a secret white dungeon somewhere in San Francisco.  First they took [[Johnny Yee|Johnny's]] son, then his wife and now [[Frank Lanza|Lanza]] has given the order that it's time for [[Johnny Yee|Yee]] to himself to go.  San Francisco Medical Examiner [[Robin Hudson]] is suffering a bumper crop of bodies connected with the strange symbols first discovered by Homicide Detectives [[Bryan Clauser]] and [["Pookie" Chang]].  With two bodies already in her morgue, she now has to perform an autopsy on [[Kyle Souller]] who was killed by someone driving a foreign object directly into his heart.  [[Bryan Clauser|Clauser]] and [["Pookie" Chang|Chang]] travel to the Western Edition to talk to the only witness of that murder, [[Marco Gastineau]].  When [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]] came to the door [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] felt a strange sensation, a warmth he only ever felt once before, when he had seen [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]] at the scene of [[Kyle Souller|Souller's]] murder.  Before [["Pookie" Chang|Chang]] could convince [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]] to come downtown the air hissed with the sound of a striking arrow, which buried itself deep in [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau's]] heart.  [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] turned and four stories up he saw a glimpse of a green hood and a curved bow.  He drew his weapon and sprinted across the street in pursuit leaving [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] to deal with the collapsed [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]].

===Episode 9===
Marco Gastineau, the only witness to the murder of [[Kyle Souller]], was killed by an unknown assassin who fired a broad head arrow from 80 feet away, burying the shot in [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau’s]] heart.  Homicide Detective [[Bryan Clauser]] gave chase up to the fifth story roof from where the shot was fired but the killer was already gone.  [[Bryan Clauser|Clauser]] found evidence of a stakeout.  Someone had been stalking [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]] and was just waiting for an opportunity to murder him.  Meanwhile, word has come down from mafia boss [[Frank Lanza]] that it's time for [[Johnny Yee]] to go -- when the Little Men come for [[Johnny Yee|Johnny]], he makes an attempt to escape and seek revenge for his wife and son.  [[Johnny Yee|Johnny]] succeeds in killing two creatures but soon he is overpowered and carried away.  [[Aggie James]] gets his first clear look at his captors who, when unveiled from their robes, appeared to be bent, misshapen, rearranged men.

===Episode 9.5===
San Francisco Medical examiner [[Robin Hudson]] performed the autopsy removing the arrows to find it engraved with more strange symbols.  The arrowhead was obviously custom made but [[Robin Hudson|Hudson]] could find no record of a similar arrow ever being used in a crime.  [[Bryan Clauser|Clauser]] and his partner Pookie Chang decided to take the arrow to their source in the San Francisco occult world.  If anyone would know what the symbols might mean, it's the [[Wikipedia:Tourette syndrome|Tourette’s]] afflicted, larynx-cancer-surviving, fortuneteller known as [[Mr. Biz-Nass]].  

===Episode 10===
San Francisco Homicide Detectives [["Pookie" Chang]] and [[Bryan Clauser]] try to track down the murderer of [[Marco Gastineau]], who was the only witness to another murder, that of [[Kyle Souller]].  [[Kyle Souller|Souller]] was slain by the unknown ''Symbol Killer'' while [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]] was taken out by a silver arrowhead shot into his heart.  An interview the San Francisco cult expert [[Mr. Biz-Nass]] revealed that a similar arrowhead may have been used to kill a serial killer known as the ''Golden Gate Park Slasher'' back in the 1970’s, as evidenced by an old clipping [[Mr. Biz-Nass]] had from the ''[[Wikipedia: San Francisco Chronicle|San Francisco Chronicle]]''.  There’s no mention of a silver arrowhead anywhere in the SFPD’s files, something that doesn’t add up for [[Bryan Clauser|Clauser]].  [[Mr. Biz-Nass|Biz-Nass]] points out the obvious, that the information isn’t in the police files because someone removed it.  [["Pookie" Chang|Chang]] and [[Bryan Clauser|Clauser]] identify the maker of the arrow as [[Adam Jessup]].  Interviewing Adam and his grandfather [[Alder Jessup|Alder]] reveal that the arrows were made for one and only one customer, [[Jebidiah Erickson]].  The Jessup family, in fact, has been making identical arrowheads for the Erickson family for over a hundred years.  [["Pookie" Chang|Chang]] and [[Bryan Clauser|Clauser]] visited [[Jebidiah Erickson|Erickson’s]] house but no one answered the door.  [[Bryan Clauser|Clauser]] decides to stakeout the house overnight while [["Pookie" Chang|Chang]] uses the SFPD computer system to look up information on Erickson.  Meanwhile Medical Examiner [[Robin Hudson]] is finishing up her final autopsy in the ''Symbol Killer'' case, the body of [[Kyle Souller]]. 

===Episode 11===
San Francisco Police Detective [["Pookie" Chang]] was researching the background of murder victim [[Marco Gastineau]] who was killed by an arrow to the heart but [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] couldn't find anything on [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]] -- no driver's license, no work history, no social security record -- the man seemed to be a non-person with no history other than the fact that he paid double rent in cash on time every month.  [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] and his partner [[Bryan Clauser]] traced the arrowhead to a [[Jebidiah Erickson]].  Research on [[Jebidiah Erickson|Erickson]] revealed that he had been convicted of murder thirty years ago and sentenced to the California State Medical Corrections Facility-- the prison for the worst psychopaths in the country.  Records show that [[Jebidiah Erickson|Erickson]] served less than a year, though, and was released to the responsibility of Detective [[Francis Parkmeyer]] in 1976.  Sub Chief [[Sean Robertson]] is closely watching [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie’s]] investigation efforts and he is reporting [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie’s]] progress to an unknown person.  That unknown person has already asked if [["Pookie" Chang|Chang]] needs to be eliminated and thus far, [[Sean Robertson|Robertson]] has said no.  [[Bryan Clauser]] meanwhile has set up a one man stake out of Erickson's house, patiently watching at night from a nearby rooftop for hours on end.  At the end of the last episode, [[Bryan Clauser|Clauser]] was called away from his midnight stakeout by [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]].  Medical Examiner [[Robin Hudson]] found something connecting the murders of [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]], [[Alex Panos]] and [[Kyle Souller]] and she demanded to see [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] and [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] right away.

===Episode 12===
A series of missing persons and brutal murders has ripped through San Francisco -- all the crimes tied together by a series of strange symbols. Medical Examiner [[Robin Hudson]] examined four of the corpses and through DNA analysis of the saliva, learned that two of the killers were brothers as was one of the victims.  She shared that strange family connection with Detectives [["Pookie" Chang]] and [[Bryan Clauser]], [[Robin Hudson|Robin's]] ex-boyfriend.  The symbols connected the string of murders to an old serial killer case of the early 1980's, the ''Golden Gate Park Slasher''.  [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie’s]] analysis of the police files of the Slasher showed missing crime scene reports… someone had removed information -- its a cover up but [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] doesn’t know what exactly is being covered up.  In his search [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] learns two key things:  The first is that retired SFPD Detective [[Francis Parkmeyer]] was the lead investigator on the Slasher case; the second, that Parkmeyer's junior partner on the case was none other than current San Francisco Police Chief [[Amy Zou]].  [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] and [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] decide to pay [[Francis Parkmeyer|Parkmeyer]] a visit but before they can they are summoned by that same Chief [[Amy Zou|Zou]] -- Coincidence? Possibly not.  She wants to see both of them immediately.

===Episode 13===
San Francisco Homicide Detectives [["Pookie" Chang]] and [[Bryan Clauser]] finally develop two key leads in a series of brutal murders.  The first lead was the discovery of [[Francis Parkmeyer]], a retired detective who had investigated a very similar string of murders some thirty years ago, a case known as the Golden Gate Park Slasher.  They visited [[Francis Parkmeyer|Parkmeyer]] at his retirement home, but the old man suffered from periodic dementia and was in no state to answer questions.  The second key lead was a person of interest in the killings, 13-year old [[Rex Deprovdechuk]], a student at Galileo High.  Four murder victims were either students or faculty at Galileo, as were another 3 people who were missing.  [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex's]] school files show he had fights or disciplinary action with all of the victims missing or dead.  Despite the late hour Pookie and Bryan were just about to visit [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex's]] house when they got a call from [[Chuck Baker]], the manager of [[Francis Parkmeyer|Parkmeyer’s]] retirement home.  [[Francis Parkmeyer|Parkmeyer]] was awake and cognizant of his surroundings, if [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] and [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] wanted to have a conversation with the man, they had to come quick.

===Episode 14===
San Francisco Homicide Detectives [[Bryan Clauser]] and [["Pookie" Chang]] just finished talking to retired Homicide Detective [[Francis Parkmeyer]] who told them that a shadowy group within the Police Department has been covering up murders committed by [[Jebidiah Erickson]] also known as [[The Savior]].  [[The Savior]] kills by bow and arrow, the same weapon used to kill murder witness [[Marco Gastineau]] three days earlier.  [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]] witnessed the murder of [[Kyle Souller]], Principal of Galileo High School.  More students and teachers from the school have been murdered in the past week and another three are still missing.  Four students and teachers have been murdered from the school in the past week and another three are missing.  [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] and [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] have been tracking those murders and finally have a prime suspect, thirteen year old [[Rex Deprovdechuk]] also a student at Galileo.  That same night [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex]] had visitors - strange visitors - three men that can only be described as monsters - and one tortured captive, Isaac Moses, one of the missing high school students that has tortured [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex]] over the past few years.  The tables were turned and now Isaac is at the mercy of [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex]].  [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] and [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] are on their way to [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex’s]] house but will they get there in time to save Isaac Moses?

===Episode 15===
[[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex's]] strange journey continued as he crosses San Francisco from rooftop to rooftop riding on the back of a monster.  His new family took him underground at the Broadway Tunnel, where for the first time, [[Rex Deprovdechuk|Rex]] descended into a secret subterranean realm. Containing the remains of buried ships. Despite being warned about pursuing the case, San Francisco Homicide Detective [[Bryan Clauser]] continued to stake out the house of [[Jebidiah Erickson]], who [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] suspects is the murderer of [[Marco Gastineau]].  [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] saw a man in a green cloak kill [[Marco Gastineau|Gastineau]] with a bow and arrow and while staking [[Jebidiah Erickson|Erickson's]] place, saw a cloaked man exit the house.  [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] made his partner, [["Pookie" Chang]] call in a favor and ask for a search warrant at 4:00am from [[Gretchen Rodriguez|Judge Gretchen Rodriguez]], with whom [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] had slept with a couple of months ago.  [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] made the call and was told to come pick up the warrant.

===Episode 16===
13 year old [[Rex Deprovdechuk]] is now the leading suspect in a multiple murders and disappearances.  The police can’t find the boy but they do have a sample of his DNA, which was sent to Medical Examiner, [[Robin Hudson]], for analysis.  San Francisco Homicide Detective [[Bryan Clauser]] had been staking out the house of [[Jebidiah Erickson]], thought to be the vigilante known as [[The Savior]].  [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] saw a man exit the house, a man that looked like the one Bryan saw kill murder witness Marco Gastineau.  [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan’s]] partner [["Pookie" Chang]], tried to get a search warrant to go into the house but he was denied by none other than Chief of Police [[Amy Zou]].  [[Amy Zou|Zou]] orders [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] and [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] off the case, but the two men have had enough of the chief’s suspect meddling.

With the allies aligned, [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] and [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] illegally broke into the house, instantly setting off an alarm.  The house’s automated security system made one silent phone call to an unknown number.  As the call went out, [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] and [["Pookie" Chang|Pookie]] found a black door that led into a dark basement.  [[Bryan Clauser|Bryan]] had seen this door before – in his nightmares.
