Part 2/7:
Murdoch, disheveled and panicked, discovers a briefcase containing a cryptic greeting card from a place called Shell Beach—a name that rings a bell yet remains elusive to him. The jarring moment escalates when he answers a ringing telephone, encountering Dr. Schrieber, who cryptically hints at a failed memory-erasing experiment and the danger Murdoch now faces. Throwing open the door to a sinister plot, Murdoch rushes out of his hotel room, only to stumble upon a gruesome scene—a disfigured corpse—and the impending threat of eerily tall, pale-faced individuals known as "strangers."
