'Counterpart': Let's talk about how the "Crossing" came to exist in the first place?

Yanek knows a lot more than he is revealing, and maybe he will be the final one to shut down the "Crossing".
PUBLISHED JAN 1, 2019

James Cromwell's character, Yanek, has been quite a dubious character, and his consistent bid to convince Howard Silk Alpha to spy on his wife had made the audience quite uncomfortable with him. Starring alongside JK Simmons as Howard Silk, Olivia Williams as Emily Burton Silk, Harry Lloyd as Peter Quayle, Nazanin Boniadi as Clare, and Sara Serraiocco as Baldwin, Yanek is the therapist assigned to extract the truth out of every prisoner in Echo, a prison in the Prime world of 'Counterpart'.

The STARZ show created by Justin Marks follows the characters as they get into a feud with their other selves who come into their world through the "Crossing".

While the biggest question on the show continues to be when did the "Crossing" actually open, the fifth episode which aired on December 30, revealed that Yanek was actually one of those who had first witnessed the opening of the "Crossing".
