Episode 12— The No-Brainer
Aired January 27, 2009 · 50 min
Synopsis
Olivia, Walter, and Peter are called in to investigate the death of a car salesman who was found in a pool of "goo," similar to another man discovered in the same condition across the country. Walter identifies the "goo" as brain matter, prompting the team to determine how the killer is able to liquefy human brains. As more deaths occur, the investigation uncovers a common link among the victims in a disturbing way. Meanwhile, Olivia becomes increasingly distressed as the case puts a loved one at risk.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
