 SEASON 1, EPISODE 17 THE ELECTROCUTIONER After jolts of electricity surge through his body, accused murderer Eli Pittman (Angelo Rizacos) is declared dead. But then, to the horror of prison staff, the man's hands begin to twitch. Believing that a man already declared dead cannot be executed twice, officials hastily dispatch Pittman to a mental hospital. Over time, the prison's electric chair falls into the hands of Dr. Lindheim, a dentist at Haverstock Reform School. Unbeknownst to anyone, Lindheim is really Pittman, freshly released from the mental hospital after another man confessed to his crimes. Now Lindheim, hellbent on revenge, uses his new purchase with a shocking twist-- to electrocute young patients and make his way toward those who wronged him years before.
