1 The Key and The Clock
8/27/07
Season-only
Det. Joe Miller (Peter Krause) and his partner Det. Lou Destafano (Christopher Bauer) are called upon to investigate the most bizarre crime scene either has ever seen — a double homicide in a pawn shop where the victim's bodies have been cooked from the inside out. Just before the prime witness to the crime dies in Joe's arms, he leaves Joe with a motel room key and a cryptic message: "The Key opens every door." What Joe soon discovers is that he can use the Key in any pin-tumbler lock ... and the door will open up to a Motel Room that seems to exist in a different dimension. Yet when he turns to exit the Motel Room ... he can go any place in our world where there is a door. MMVI Lions Gate Television Inc. All Rights Reserved
2 The Comb and The Box
8/27/07
Season-only
In his quest to save Anna, Joe is thrust into the world of the Object-seekers. He is apprehended by Karl Kreutzfeld, who reveals the history of Room 10 and his personal motivation for collecting Objects: he is trying to save his own young son, who suffers from leukemia. Kreutzfeld believes that the key to helping Anna lies with the Collectors, a group of people who discovered the Objects back in the 1960s and were the first to attempt to bring all the Objects back together. The Collectors were said to have located The Prime Object — a much-theorized, potentially mythical Object that many believe can control all the others. MMVI Lions Gate Television Inc.

About this show

In the 1960s, there still were hundreds of motels with thousands of rooms along Route 66 as it twisted its way from Chicago to L.A. and back. None of them stood out from the rest until one day when some unknown event at the Sunshine Motel transformed ordinary things into items of wonder. Room 10 of the Sunshine Motel and many of its mundane contents - a pair of scissors, a comb and so on - gained unique and inexplicable properties on that day, transforming them from ordinary objects into indestructible Objects. The Scissors can turn and rotate any item in three dimensions. The Comb stops time for 10 seconds when you run it through your hair. The Eyeglasses inhibit all combustion in a 20-foot radius. The Room itself is an unchanging haven and a portal to any destination. But it can also take that which you value more than your own life. To possess an Object is to possess its power.
