SEASON 2, EPISODE 25
THE PRISONER


Dayton Railsback (Larry Joshua) waits in prison for the day he can claim the millions
he and three accomplices stole in an armored car robbery ten years earlier. In
exchange for a favor, Dayton accepts an unusual Japanese kamikaze jacket from a
fellow inmate. When a deadly fight erupts between two prisoners, blood splatters on
Railsback's new garment, and to his amazement, he is rendered invisible. He gleefully
walks out of prison and heads to the hidden loot. Once there, the invisible Dayton finds
an empty locker and realizes his pals have double-crossed him. When night watchman
Vince Ventura (Sean McCann) and his son Johnny (Steven Monarque) investigate the
strange noises coming from the locker, Railsback grabs Vince's gun and kills him. The
police soon arrive and arrest Johnny for his father's murder. Realizing that no one will
believe his story of an invisible attacker, Johnny appeals to Micki and Ryan for help.
