Episode description

Can anyone truly outrun time itself, and what dark bargains might immortality demand? In "Long Live Walter Jameson," a history professor's uncanny knowledge of historical events draws suspicion from his colleague. The truth reveals he's actually centuries old, having gained immortality through an alchemist's intervention. His past catches up with him when an aged former wife discovers his engagement to a young student, leading to his dramatic aging and death.

"Queen of the Nile" follows a reporter investigating an ageless actress who mysteriously maintains her youth. He discovers she's actually an ancient Egyptian queen who uses a scarab to drain others' life forces to maintain her immortality. The reporter becomes her latest victim in her endless quest for eternal youth.

This month these episodes lead us to explore the price of immortality and the moral consequences of achieving eternal life through supernatural means as they share themes of time, aging, and the ultimate price paid for attempting to cheat death.
