The Key and the Clock

Detective Joe Miller finds himself on a case involving two men that are found burned to death in a pawn shop, apparently involving a mysterious key and a deal gone bad. After receiving the key, Joe discovers that it is just one of nearly one hundred objects with supernatural powers and a link to a hidden motel room.

Quotes


Joe: What about the bus ticket?
Wally: Not that useful. Unless you want to get to a little spot outside Gallup, New Mexico in a jiffy, which I don't.
Joe: Why Gallup?
Wally: Why not?
Joe: What happened in that motel room? Wally.
Wally: Something terrible. Look...Detective Miller, do you ever feel that there's something wrong with the universe?
Joe: Yeah, sure.
Wally: Well, you're right. Things like this shouldn't happen. But in that motel room, they did.

Wally: For your crimes against decency, and politeness, and common courtesy, I condemn you to hell!
Joe: According to the money transfer, someone tried to buy this key for two million bucks.
Lou: I'd pay three.
Joe: Well, we can't keep it. Three people are dead because of it.
Lou: I know. But let's enjoy it now. While we can. Okay?
(Joe laughs)
Lou: Who knows if we're gonna get another chance like this.
Joe: Yeah.
Lou: We can go anywhere?
Joe: Anywhere with a door, I think.
Lou: Penn State's playing.
Matt: What does the gun do?
Joe Miller: It shoots bullets really fast.
Anna: Stuff keeps disappearing in the room
Joe: What room?
Anna: The magic room.

Trivia

While Joe is in the hospital, Drs. Sonny Gupta and Traff are paged over the intercom. These are both characters from Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital. Craig R. Baxley worked on this series, as well. When Dr. Gupta is paged, his name is pronounced the way Dr. Stegman mispronounced it on Kingdom Hospital.
