ACT 2: McDonnell tries some unorthodox means to more fully access The Gateway. Is there really magic in mushrooms? Meanwhile, Nurse Field’s visit to the Institute basement reveals the sad reality of previous failures. Broken eggs from the past, squirreled away from prying eyes in forgotten rooms. We meet the mysterious Dr. Alexander, a man of little charm but many secrets. Nurse Fields spends a little off-the-clock time with McDonnell, giving advice. This right before he goes to visit his mother in an elder care facility. Mom thanks him for his visit the previous week, but it’s been months since he made the trip. And yet somehow, she knows things she couldn’t possibly know.




Back at the Institute the following week, Monroe offers McDonnell extra help searching for the truth about his father. But Monroe needs something in return. Extra risks for extra rewards? McDonnell finally gets info on that Russian base, but at great cost. And he meets some friends, new and old. One named Bentov, carefully smuggled there. Everything builds to a crescendo and McDonnell ends up dodging a German MG-42 machine gun on a beach. Not just watching, but actually there. All this and more in Episode 2, be sure to be there with us.
