CALLIE: Okay, so we decoded a secret message
from Dr. Burelli to Gloria.
It was dated almost 10 years ago,
and it mentioned an experiment called Project Midnight
that happened in a place called The Sleep Room.
FRANK: There wasn't any information about what the experiment actually was,
but it required vessels.
We think it might be the crystal. JOE: No.
- No, it's not the crystal. The vessels are kids.
I overheard Burelli talking to the Shadow Man.
He said he wanted to use Dennis as a vessel.
He must be trying to restart the experiment.
What for?
Revenge.
Burelli was scared. She said she was sorry for what they did to him.
There is a kid in my vision.
Burelli had him strapped to a chair.
She was experimenting on him with some strange machine.
Wait, that's gotta be the Shadow Man, right?
- Okay, so if we figure out what Project Midnight was,
we could figure out who Shadow Man is. BIFF: How?
The kid only exists in visions.
- Now, sure, but he was a patient back then.
He's either Patient A or Patient B.
He exists somewhere.
FRANK: You think there might be records?
It's possible.
We need to figure out exactly where the experiments took place.
We need to find The Sleep Room.
PHIL: I mean, what's with that scroll anyways?
Like, the calligraphy's so weird. What language even is that?
Shh! I'm trying to think!
- Oh... Okay. - I could just trigger another vision.

Dude, I'm telling you, they will.
