Episode 0035 "Dead Man's Mountain"

Original Story by Sam Dann, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall

Firmly determined to turn a mountain in the Adirondacks into a resort, a New York developer sets out to prove that the peak is not as cursed — and life-altering — as the locals insist it is.

Dead Man's Mountain is what it's called. Going is really no problem. It's coming down that separates the living from the dead. R.J. Johnson sits at his desk. Yes, the RJ Johnson. The mysterious, the remote RJ Johnson. I better explain that. His ways are mysterious, except when his plans include you. He is remote, except when he wants something from you. Then his presence can become an overwhelming reality. Some say R .J. is the richest man in the world. Some say he's the second, the third, the fourth richest. Does it matter? All we need to know is that on this particular morning, R .J. Johnson sits at his desk as usual and is formulating plans to buy or sell what? An industry? A government? Somebody's Soul?
