The Crypt is the seventh episode of the Logan's Run television series. It first aired 7 November 1977.
She assumes that the air has cleared. She recorded the massage in March of 2120, and that below this building there is a complex of scientists. But the plague came. There was radiation above. Infection below. But not all of them died. Six were chosen though they were victims of the plague. They had been frozen , but by the time they found a cure the power had gone out on the elevator and they could not reach them. She placed the serum under the screen and begs that the serum be taken to those six people below as they may be mankind's salvation. The tape cuts off.
Rem and Logan talk about the serum and being frozen. Logan provides Rem with some more light, by blasting a filing cabinet, while Rem works on fixing the elevator. Rem has it working again very quickly. The elevator stops and they enter a long hallway lined with some nifty vacuformed panels. Logan notices that the air down below feels fresh enough. Rem notes that he was not worried about it because he does not breathe.
As they walks there is an earthquake. Logan drops the serum box and it is crushed by a pillar. Rem and Jessica are huddles against one wall. Jessica's knee hurts. They panic while looking for Logan. Logan starts looking for the case. Rem finds the case only to discover one of the two vials is broken. There will be only enough serum for three of the the frozen scientists. While the trio contemplates this another aftershock happens. Rem quickly closes the case that covers it with himself to protect the remaining doses of the serum. Logan tries to protect Jessica. Rem is pelted by some bits of Styrofoam. In the cryo chamber a piece of ceiling falls onto a console causing a counter to start counting up. It stops when it reads 713. back in the hallway Rem speculates that the plague may have been eliminated by the freezing process. Logan wonders what they will do if it has not. Jessica is still having a hard time walking so Rem carries her. Logan goes off exploring the corridors. Jessica asks Rem if he is heavy. Rem makes a comment about her being heavy, the realizes it may have not have been the right thing to say so he quickly adds on that she is pleasantly heavy. As they come around a corner a large red screen is flashing "More to come..." on it. Rem and Jessica stop to look at it. Logan walks down another corridor and a heavy metal door opens to reveal the six frozen bodies. Rem abandons the machine and carries Jessica to where Logan is watching the people wake up. At the same time all of the doors open.
When we next see the people they are thawing out around the room. They are full of questions but Logan does not have good news to deliver. Victoria Mackey ( a robotics expert) notices that Rem is a machine and is amazed. Dr. Greenhill, the medical member of the group, looks at Jessica's knee. Logan tells them of the complication. Mr. Kim is psychic, he realizes how the flask was destroyed. They impart the information that they are all past the contagious stage. They think about diluting the injections but discard that idea. The Kim ( a telekinetic psychic) asks Dr. Greenhill how much time they have left as the freezing process just arrested the disease. She tells them that they have two days maximum. Dr. Greenhill decides that the trio should make the decision as to who lives and who dies. The administrator, Mr. Liman, offers to hang onto the serum. David ( a city designer) does not like the idea of a bureaucrat holing onto the serum. This idea is not popular with the others. They finally agree to have Logan and Rem hide the flask.. ( a stupid idea with a psychic around) The group splits up to do various things from changing clothes to checking the generators. Logan and rem hover around Jessica for a moment with a look of concern.
Logan and Rem are looking for a place to hide the flask. As Logan approaches a wall a door opens up. Logan walks in. Rem turns back and walks towards the room. Logan walks on. Rem opens another automatic door. Logan finally finds his way to a long crematorium. Rem explains what they did with their dead. They agree that they would not be likely to search that room. the find and empty urn and stick the vial in. As they leave they have another aftershock.
In a comfortable living area Jessica asks Dr. Greenham about being frozen but she does not remember. Dr. Greenham asks Jessica about why she left the City of Domes. Jessica tells about sanctuary. In the background are 4 other survivors talking about something. As he tries to walk, Logan and Rem come in the room. The other Move to join Logan and Rem. Mrs Mackey talks for the group. They do not want Rem involved in the final decision. Logan is upset. the psychic decides that they need Mr. Liama for a vote. Rem goes to fetch him. He is upset too, but not willing to admit it.
