(W) Will Conrad, Rod Monteiro (A/CA) Will Conrad. A man can go by many names* and when someone has been around as long as Michael* he can gain more than just a few aliases. Now he's Michael Smith* but back in the 1940s he went by James. When the obituary for John* who Michael met during WWII* comes up in the paper* Michael finds himself reflecting on a lifetime he left behind-and the horrors and experimentation he* John* and others* endured at the infamous Manchuria-based Japanese facility known as Unit 731.
