[[caption-width-right:350:Someone has the wrong idea about what a severance package is.]]
Roger Lassen (Creator/ClancyBrown), president of a chemical company, is called to the morgue to identify a body. It turns out to be Dan King (Creator/CostasMandylor), who co-founded the company with Roger and who was killed with a massive injection of its newest, long-acting preservative. The police have found a note in Dan's pocket - "I have not forgotten or forgiven" - and a photo in his apartment of him, Roger, and their friends Kevin (Brian Wimmer) and Alex (Creator/JonTenney). The photo was taken during a trip to Brazil six years earlier, during which Alex died.
While in Brazil, the four men took part in a tribal sacrifice in which a native drank an herbal potion and was then buried alive. Roger had quieted the others' objections by saying that all of them had an evil side; the trick was to keep it under control. Later, he secretly made a deal with the tribe to sacrifice Alex's life in exchange for the formula, which his company eventually developed into the preservative.
In the present, Roger returns to his home and finds the message from Dan's note spray-painted on the wall. A voodoo doll rests on a table among his collection of tribal artifacts, one half showing him as himself and the other as a demon. Roger insists to the police that he doesn't know anyone who would want to see him dead, but mutters "Nobody alive" to himself after they leave his home.

* BodyHorror: Roger's bloody, decaying half of his body is enough to make his secretary scream...
* EnemyWithout: Alex's curse causes Roger's evil side to escape and act on its own volition, killing Dan and Kevin. Roger has an exorcist perform a ritual on him in order to mitigate this, but the result leaves [[BodyHorror his body in a half-mangled state]].
* ExactWords: When the police interrogates Roger about who might want him dead, Roger insists that he doesn't know anyone who would fit the description, before muttering to himself "nobody alive" after the police leave. He's referring to Alex, whom Roger had sold out as a HumanSacrifice in a tribal ritual years ago, but he has no idea about the extent of the truthfulness of his words...
* HereWeGoAgain: The episode ends with a ruined Roger preparing to inject himself with a batch of the preservative so that he could survive longer.
* HumanSacrifice: What the tribal ritual includes. Roger secretly sold Alex out in exchange for the formula from the tribe. Unfortunately for Roger, Dan, and Kevin, Alex didn't stay dead...
* OffWithHisHead: Roger decapitates Alex late in the episode.
* PoliceAreUseless: Their usefulness in this episode consists of calling Roger to identify bodies and investigating the scenes. Beyond it, they're no better at finding the culprit behind the deaths than Roger is.
* RevenantZombie: What Alex has become after Roger sold him out to become a HumanSacrifice. Revenge is his sole motivation as the result, and he does so by laying a curse on Roger.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Roger and Alex were best buddies in the past. After Roger sold Alex out for the tribal formula, however, Alex has only vengeful hatred against Roger in mind.
to:
* AmnesiacDissonance: Roger has no idea that his evil side has escaped his control and is killing his friends.
* AndIMustScream: Roger ends up destroying his evil side, but half of his body is left a rotted mess. He injects himself with Exthion-B to preserve himself, but that won't ease the pain that having a half-rotted body will bring. The police are also hinted to have found him out, so he'll be spending his eternal life behind bars.
* ArcWords: "I have not forgotten or forgiven.", which Roger begins seeing in nearly every piece of paper or wall that he looks at.
* BANGFlagGun: The Crypt Keeper fires one off in his closing segment.
* BigRedDevil: Half of Roger's voodoo doll appears as one, representing his evil side.
* BodyHorror:
* BodyPaint: Roger's evil side leaves black illustrations of tribal markings on the bodies of his victims.
* BuriedAlive: This is how the natives accomplish their human sacrifices. Alex was duped into meeting the same fate by his best friend.
* CallingCard: The tribal markings and "forgotten or forgiven" notes that Roger's evil side leaves behind on/with his victim's bodies.
* ChromosomeCasting: The episode's cast is composed almost entirely of men, the only female present being Roger's secretary.
* ColdHam: Dr. Beneloy, who can deduce Roger's advanced curse by observing him and the voodoo doll. He goes full on LargeHam during the ritual to destroy Roger's evil side, dolling himself up in tribesmen's apparel and apparently levitating to Roger as it commences.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Roger is the president of a major chemical company, and he tries to be a respectable businessman in the office. When his evil side escapes his control and kills his friends, he plays the trope partially-straight.
** Even before his evil side escaped, Roger was shown to be a villainous man in Brazil, entering the country illegally, stealing sacred healing herbs, and sacrificing his best friend to the natives in exchange for ''more'' herbs.
* DeadpanSnarker: Roger is quick with the snark, being the stressed-out corporate honcho he is.
* DeathActivatedSuperpower: Being sacrificed to the natives and coming back as a zombie apparently caused Alex to be given voodoo powers, as he places a curse on Roger that makes his evil side able to escape his mind.
* DirtyCop: The Brazilian police are hinted to have been bribed by Roger to allow him and his friends into the country so they could steal the natives' herbs. When the bribe wasn't big enough for their tastes, they decided to bust them for entering the country without work visas.
* DownerEnding: Even though the Crypt Keeper says the episode had a happy ending, it's clear that the episode's real ending is anything but:
** Roger destroys his evil side, but doing so has rendered him half-dead.
** He uses all of the Exthion-B samples left in stock to keep himself alive (which may not even succeed), leaving him virtually penniless.
** His secretary notes that the police have found the bodies of Alex and his aide in his office, which reveals that he's the killer. So even if Roger ''does'' survive injecting himself, he's going to be spending eternity in prison.
* EnemyWithout: Alex's curse
* EveryoneHasStandards: Roger's friends clearly weren't jovial while witnessing him joining a native tribe into performing a human sacrifice, even telling him that they were going straight to hell for their association with the act.
* ExactWords: When the police
* FantasticDrug: Exthion-B has shades of this trope, given that it's used to kill Roger's friends and business partners via overdose.
* {{Flashback}}: We get a couple of scene of Roger and his friends in Brazil six years ago, one of them showing the moment where Alex was sold out as a human sacrifice.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The voodoo doll of Roger depicts him as half-businessman, half-devil. When Roger destroys his evil side at the end of the episode, he appears half-rotted, similar to the doll.
** In Brazil, Roger told his friends that everyone has an evil side. And the trick is to keep it under control.
** Roger also suffers from headaches when he brings up his trip to Brazil and his friends, and has been known to miss entire days. This is because his evil side has been escaping his psyche, thanks to Dan's curse.
* Roger's aide also tells him that everyone needs at least one person to dish out a little truth. This is exactly what Alex reveals himself to Roger for.
* FoulFlower: The herbs that produce Exthion-B grow these kinds of flowers. They are able to turn any liquid they come into contact with blue, and are utilized for ritual sacrifice by the tribesmen who harvest them. As Exthion-B, they allow for any organic matter they come into contact with to stay preserved for all time.
* GilliganCut: A shot of a mask-wearing native in Brazil allows for the scene to change to Roger's office, where the same mask sits.
* HeadacheOfDoom: Roger suffers from headaches whenever his friends die, or when he remembers his trip to Brazil, hinting that his evil side is returning to his mind.
* HealingHerb: The herbs that the natives used in their formula are hinted to be these. When Roger's company processes them into Exthion-B, they allow for anything organic to be kept preserved forever.
* HealingPotion: Exthion-B was processed from an herbal formula from a Brazilian native tribe. Anything organic that's injected with it will be kept fresh for all enternity.
* HereWeGoAgain: The episode ends with a
* HollywoodVoodoo: The natives in Brazil were shown to practice this. Their magic allowed Roger's evil side to escape Roger's mind and go on a killing spree.
* HumanSacrifice:
* TheIllegal: Roger and his friends are revealed to have been these six years ago, where they illegally entered Brazil by bribing crooked police officers. The cops are shown to have been unpleased with Roger's meager bribe and began looking for them, hoping to bust them for entering the country without work visas.
* IndestructibleEdible: Exthion-B turns any food that's injected with it into one of these, allowing it to stay fresh forever.
* IronicEcho: As Roger tells Alex, just before he sacrifices him, "We came down here to go all the way!"
* TheKillerInMe: The actual killer turns out to be Roger himself, his evil side having escaped his control after a curse from his undead former friend Alex.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Even if Roger survives whatever he intends to use Exthion-B for, the police have figured out it was him who killed his friends and his aide, so he'll be spending his extended life in prison.
* LaughingMad: Roger maniacally laughs after Beneloy's ritual, thinking he's beaten Alex's curse.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: A variation of the trope comes into play with Roger's evil side. Even though it's been established to have escaped his control, it's never seen controlling Roger or seen killing his friends, but Roger does throw out a factoid that he's blacking out for entire days because of this.
* MysteriousNote: Roger finds one in Dan's pocket that reads "I have not forgotten or forgiven." The statement keeps turning up in different places Roger looks.
* NoodleImplements: Roger observes surgical tools next to him as the ritual to destroy his evil side begins. We never learn what they're used for, but we see a puddle of blood surrounding them after the ritual.
* NothingIsScarier: Whatever Dr. Beneloy did to Roger that got rid of his evil side, and therefore destroyed half of his body, is never revealed at any point.
* OffWithHisHead: Roger decapitates Alex
* OneDoseFitsAll: A single syringe of Exthion-B is enough to keep anything organic preserved forever. It's also enough to kill a man and turn his body into a zombified husk.
* OneSceneWonder: Dr. Beneloy, the witch doctor played by Cheech Marin who rids Roger of his evil side.
* PersonaNonGrata: Roger and his friends are shown to have snuck into Brazil without work visas by bribing some crooked Brazilian cops. The cops weren't satisfied with Roger's bribe and had decided to turn on them, barring them from the country by busting them for illegal entry.
* PleaseIWillDoAnything: Roger begs Dr. Beneloy to get rid of his evil side, saying that he'll pay him with everything he owns, including the profits of Exthion-B.
* PoliceAreUseless:
** The cops in Brazil were hinted to be even worse, having been bribed by Roger to let him and his friends enter the country illegally. They quickly turned traitor when they were unimpressed with his bribe, and aimed to bust them for not having visas.
* RedHerring: Alex is teased as being the killer of Roger's friends and is looking to kill Roger himself as revenge for being sacrificed. The undead Alex does come to confront Roger, but he admits that he isn't the killer, Roger himself is, thanks to a curse he placed on him that allowed his evil side to escape his control.
* RevenantZombie:
* RichesToRags: Roger gives all his money to Dr. Beneloy so he can destroy his evil side. He's implied to have become dirt poor in the final scene. He also aims to use all the Exthion-B samples he has left to preserve himself, costing him his opportunity at riches.
* RiddleForTheAges: We never see Roger's evil side in person, so we have no idea what it looks like. The voodoo doll Roger finds hints that it may be a BigRedDevil.
** What exactly happens during Roger's evil side-destroying ritual is also left intentionally vague.
* SarcasticClapping: Alex does this toward Roger as he introduces himself, right after Roger kills his aide.
* SuperSerum: Exthion-B, which keeps any organic material it is injected into permanently fresh. Clothing will never fade, wood will never rot, food will never spoil, etc. It's also hinted to do the same on human bodies, but it kills them in the process.
* UnnaturallyBlueLighting: Exthion-B emits a strong blue glow whenever it's shown.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Roger's interview describing how Exthion-B works shows that he's pretty well respected for all the shady dealings he committed.
* VoodooDoll: One of them is used to represent Roger and his newly-freed evil side, appearing as half-man, half-devil.
* WayPastTheExpirationDate: Food injected with Exthion-B can stay fresh long after its expiration date. Roger demonstrates this with a pair of apples harvested two years ago, still looking as fresh as when they were first ripe.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Roger and Alex were best
* WhamShot: The moment when Alex reveals Roger's handwriting is the same as the notes the killer has been leaving, revealing that the killer is Roger's freed evil side.
* WhatNowEnding: Roger ends the episode half-rotted, and preparing to inject himself with Exthion-B. We don't know whether he intends to live longer or overdose and kill himself by doing so.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The Crypt Keeper says that Roger's company was still successful after everything that went wrong in the episode.
* WitchDoctor: Dr. Beneloy, who Roger calls to perform a ritual that will destroy his evil side to get back at Alex. He looks like an ordinary doctor when he and Roger first meet, but he dons the traditional witch doctor outfit and makeup during Roger's ritual.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Alex has nothing but hatred towards Roger when he returns from the dead, since Roger sold him out to the natives as a human sacrifice.

->'''Crypt Keeper:''' Well, at least in the end, Roger knew ''rot'' from wrong. If only he learned a little ''fester.'' You'll be happy to know, kiddies, that our story has a happy ending.

* ExactWords: When the police interrogates Roger about who might want him dead, Roger insists that he doesn't know anyone who would fit the description, before muttering to himself "nobody alive" after the police leave. He's referring to Alex, whom Roger had sold out as a HumanSacrifice in a tribal ritual years ago, but he has no idea about the extent of the truthfulness of his words...

Roger Lassen, president of a chemical company, is called to the morgue to identify a body. It turns out to be Dan King, who co-founded the company with Roger and who was killed with a massive injection of its newest, long-acting preservative. The police have found a note in Dan's pocket - "I have not forgotten or forgiven" - and a photo in his apartment of him, Roger, and their friends Kevin and Alex. The photo was taken during a trip to Brazil six years earlier, during which Alex died.

Dan's death prompts the FDA to withhold its final approval for the preservative. Acting on advice from his lawyer Colin, a badly shaken Roger tracks down Kevin only to find him dead from a preservative overdose - and another note on the body. He accuses Colin of trying to frame him for the murder and fatally bashes his skull in, but finds that he isn't alone. Alex emerges from the shadows as a half-decayed zombie, the effect of the potion and sacrifice ritual. He points out that the handwriting on the notes and Roger's office memos is the same and accuses Roger of killing both Dan and Kevin.
