Fringe (2008–2013): Season 1, Episode 18 - Midnight - full transcript
When a second victim is discovered with injuries to the back of the neck, Fringe division is called in to investigate. Walter does an autopsy and discovers that the injury was inflicted by a human bite; the wound is infected by a rare genetically modified syphilis virus and all the spinal fluid has been drained. Tracing users of the virus leads the team to a scientist with connections to ZFT. His story leads the team to find more victims and a desperate race against time to track down a killer with a dangerous addiction to human spinal fluid.
MAN (ON TV): I'm Mike Filgenberg,
WNKW 10:00 news.
We're gonna take you live now
to Janice Langis on the scene...
...at another Boston homicide.
WOMAN:
The body was found here, by Pier 7.
Police are canvassing the area.
No witnesses have come forward at this
time, and authorities are baffled...
...by what appears to be one of the most
gruesome murders in Boston's history.
The media has been blocked
from the crime scene.
All we've been told
is a body was found mutilated...
...by what might have been
a hunting knife.
Police are withholding the name of the
victim until their family can be contacted.
There are a number of nightclubs,
it's not the safest neighborhood.
There haven't been violent crimes
of this nature before.
Until someone with information
comes forward...
...police have no clues in this bizarre
murder that occurred here tonight.
- Hello, beautiful.
WOMAN: Finally. Where have you been?
- Did you get my message?
- I did.
But you didn't call me back.
No, I thought I'd call you later.
- How was the conference?
- Where were you last night, Bob?
Where would I be? I was at home.
I was catching up on my sleep.
- But I called.
- I turn off the phone to get some sleep.
You're starting to go down
that road again.
Before you know it, you'll be all upset.
This has more to do
with the miles between us.
All that dreary weather you have
in Portland.
You'll feel better when you get back
tomorrow. Hey, we'll do something nice.
In fact, we'll stay in.
I'll cook for us.
I'd like that, Bob.
Listen, love,
I'll call you when I get home tonight.
Right now, I gotta go have dinner with
these insufferable suits from Hong Kong.
I hope it won't be too awful.
You never can tell.
Bye.
(SHE WANTS REVENGE'S "TEAR YOU
APART" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
You know what's funny?
Before I came in here,
I thought I was good looking.
(LAUGHS)
Seriously.
I can tell you're my type of girl.
How do you know?
I know these things.
(MAN CLEARS THROAT)
Cheers, mate.
I can tell you're my kind of girl.
(BUZZING)
Fringe
s1e18 Midnight
(PEOPLE LAUGHING)
RACHEL: Oh, Olivia, you have to hear
how Neil and Helen met.
This could be good for my sister.
NEIL: We're both single,
we're in our 30s, hadn't met anyone.
We wanted to have kids.
Then I heard about this program
called Two Singles Together.
Two Singles Together
was the answer for us.
I'm sorry. Two...?
- Two Singles Together.
RACHEL: It's a matchmaking service.
Not just a matchmaking service,
Rachel.
- A way of life.
- Two Singles Together?
I have my own schedule.
Works for me.
I have no interest
in controlling Neil's either.
I like vacations in the sun and...
- I like the snow.
- Right.
Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose
of being in a relationship?
Well, there are things we agree on,
of course.
Like, um, where to live.
NEIL: Yeah.
HELEN: The appropriate kindergarten.
Friends we both enjoy.
Incidentally, I wanna make sure Ella
can attend Graham's birthday party.
Oh, I already RSVP'd
on the class sign-up.
No, no. That was for Neil's
rock-climbing party for Graham.
My party for Graham
is the following Saturday.
We are doing Science Center.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Excuse me for one minute.
HELEN: I wish you would stop talking
about Two Singles Together.
NEIL: I thought they'd be interested.
I mean, Olivia's single.
Oh, thanks, Olivia.
HELEN:
I think you had enough to drink, Neil.
What?
Greg's filing for divorce.
- Oh, Rach.
- Not now. Not in front of them.
They'll make me join
Two Singles Together.
(PHONE RINGING)
RACHEL:
Okay, where were we?
I'm sorry.
I've just been called into work.
Oh, what kind of work do you do,
Olivia?
CHARLIE: Victim's name was Bob Dunn.
He was 33 years old.
His girlfriend got back
from a business trip in Portland...
...couldn't reach him.
She found him here.
We confirmed her trip.
No forced entry, no witnesses.
So this matched the victim that Boston
PD found two nights ago at the pier?
- The one that's been all over the news?
- They don't know what to make of it.
So now they have another one.
Now it's ours to make something of.
- You know what this reminds me of?
- No.
But I'm gonna guess it's something
unbelievably disgusting.
Shrimp cocktail.
You see, shrimp must be deveined by
putting a shallow cut down the back...
...to expose the vein,
which in fact is not a vein at all...
- ...but the crustacean's intestinal tract.
- Great. Thanks for that.
Another foodstuff
I can cross off the menu for life.
- Hey, are you okay?
- What?
Well, you were awfully quiet
on the car ride...
...and you just don't seem your normal
chipper self at a bloody crime scene.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm...
It's just home stuff.
Well, I know from home stuff.
I live with the guy
inspecting a severed spine.
WALTER:
This is fascinating.
These appear to be bite marks.
See how the flesh is ripped
in the jagged markings.
Canine or even ursine. But human?
You're suggesting
that someone chewed his spine?
Yes. And with a jaw strength...
...well in excess of that
of a normal human being.
Great.
Well, maybe we're looking for Dracula.
Ha-ha! Finally, son, you are opening
your mind to new possibilities.
But no, there are no vampires, sadly.
But it will be something exciting,
I'm sure.
We have another monster
on the loose?
No, sir. Walter says that the teeth marks
are definitely human.
I can just about remember a suspect
being human was a given, not an option.
Bob Dunn's girlfriend said
that he had a car, an Audi A4.
It wasn't in the garage, and we couldn't
find it when we did a two-block sweep.
- Local PD is on it?
- We could get lucky.
- Maybe the killer took it.
- And Dr. Bishop?
He's at the lab with both bodies
doing autopsies.
Okay.
Well,
let me know if you learn anything.
Is there something else?
This may sound impolitic, sir...
...but I was wondering if you were
satisfied with your divorce attorney.
I've heard you talking on the phone
to your kids, but never to your wife.
I was satisfied.
Except for the bill.
I was wondering if I might be able
to get the name and number.
It should be waiting in your inbox.
- Thank you.
- I hope things work out for your sister.
I pay attention too, Agent Dunham.
C1 cervical vertebrae is connected
to the C2 cervical vertebrae.
The C2 cervical vertebrae is connected
to the C3 cervical vertebrae.
- Walter, that's enough.
- When you meet a nice girl...
...I would avoid bringing her home
for as long as possible.
This is the lab work you requested
on the victims.
Excellent.
It may help us understand
why their spinal columns...
...have been completely drained
of spinal fluid.
The killer took the victims' spinal fluid?
Why would they do that?
Where would the fun be
if we already knew all there is to know?
(WALTER CHUCKLES)
This is interesting.
Traces of Treponema pallidum.
That's the syphilis bacteria.
In the victim's neck and back.
Most likely from the killer's saliva.
So the killer has syphilis?
WALTER: Seems so.
PETER: Great. I should have worn gloves.
And what's even more fascinating...
...this particular strain of syphilis
is extinct.
Has been for decades.
How could the killer be exposed
to an extinct strain of syphilis?
See, isn't this fun?
I appreciate the CDC's prompt response
on this matter.
Of course. I ran an index search.
A sample of that particular
strain of syphilis...
...was shipped out four weeks ago
to a Lubov Pharmaceuticals.
They have a local address in Brighton.
Well, thank you,
but a phone call would have sufficed.
Actually,
I'm not sure that it would have.
Because their address
is in a residential area.
I took the liberty of running the rest of
Lubov's research requests...
...over the past few years.
This isn't the first contagion
they've ordered from us.
In fact, there have been quite a few.
We need to show this to Broyles.
PARDUE: Any reputable scientist
with appropriate credentials...
...can procure samples of bacteria
and viruses for their research.
In addition
to the extinct syphilis bacterium...
...Lubov Pharmaceuticals also procured
a sample of a substance called RUD 390.
- Which is?
PARDUE: A chemical compound...
...used in the construction of
bioweapons.
You suggesting
whoever is behind these killings...
- ...may be planning a biological attack?
- Or has before.
RUD 390
was one of the components...
...of the rapid-skin-growth toxin
that killed Agent Kent.
You're saying this is ZFT?
ZFT?
What's that?
We believe ZFT
is a terrorist organization...
...responsible for a number of bioattacks
in the last year.
I see.
Why? What is their agenda?
That's what we wanna find out.
Assemble an assault squad.
- Move on Lubov.
- Yes, sir.
(OLIVIA GASPING)
(BUZZING)
(BUZZING STOPS)
Federal agents. You're under arrest.
Dr. Nicholas Boone. Advanced degrees
in hematology and biochemistry.
Founder of Lubov Pharmaceuticals.
A multinational biotech firm
whose corporate offices...
...turn out to be in a split-level,
in Brighton.
Now, we know that the strain of syphilis
that you ordered was found on his spine.
And you see these?
They're human bite marks.
What is out there doing this?
What happened to these people?
How long have you been a follower
of ZFT?
That's right, Dr. Boone.
We know about ZFT.
What do you know?
Enough to know they're using the world
as a testing ground for experiments.
We wanna know more about
David Robert Jones...
...about who funds ZFT and why.
We wanna know
what we're dealing with.
I don't have to spell it out for you,
Dr. Boone.
You talk to us, give us information...
...help us with whatever's out there
killing people...
- ...it'll go better for you.
- What is doing this?
What have you done?
- Someone was dosed.
- With what?
Dosed with what?
I know a lot about
the things you want.
And more.
And I'll answer your questions.
But you have to help me first.
Help with what?
They have my wife.
I want you to get her back.
ZFT has your wife?
BOONE:
Agent Dunham...
...what counts with punishment is the
ability to know whom to hurt and when.
You're telling me ZFT is coercing you
to conduct these experiments...
...by threatening to harm your wife?
Why would they be punishing you?
Because when I realized what my work
was being used for...
...I tried to get out.
I'll tell you everything
you want to know.
But first you have to
get my wife back.
BROYLES:
Do you believe him?
- I don't.
- Boone's wife is a nurse.
I checked and she hasn't been to work
in three weeks.
- Proves nothing.
- I'm inclined to agree with Agent Francis.
Everything we know about these guys
suggests that they're zealots.
Why don't we go back,
ask why the sudden change of heart?
Can't ask a thing until we get his wife.
- Could be a trap.
- Could be the truth.
I'm sorry, since I've been
working in Fringe Division...
...81 people have lost their lives.
And that's not including the 147
on Flight 627.
In my entire career, only nine people
had died on cases that I worked.
This is the closest that we've ever come
to getting traction...
...on stopping these people.
Getting a handle on ZFT, Jones...
...or more.
This guy could be our chance.
(DOOR OPENS)
BROYLES: What is it?
- The address Boone gave us...
...where he says
they're holding his wife...
...it's a restaurant, in Chinatown.
Doesn't exactly scream
ZFT hive of activity.
MAN: They've been tagged by Edison.
- Meaning?
They're burning five times
more power...
...than they should
making Moo shu pork.
They could be using the power
for something else.
To facilitate a laboratory?
This could be our chance
to get to ZFT.
Go get her.
OLIVIA:
I'll get a team together.
PETER:
Peter and Walter Bishop.
We're here to catalog the evidence.
WALTER:
Walter Bishop. Nice to meet you.
Hello. Hello. Please, sit down.
Bishop. Walter Bishop.
You don't have
to shake everybody's hand.
He gets a little nervous
around authority figures.
Oh, boy.
Look at that.
Benzyl alcohol.
A colorless liquid used as a bacteriostatic
in solutions for injection.
Topically as a local anesthetic.
Personally,
I like to use it as a mouthwash.
What did this guy create?
From what I've seen so far,
I am forming a hypothesis.
Would you care to hear it?
Well, I don't know. Would I ever be able
to sleep at night again?
- That depends.
- Depends on what?
On whether the light is on or not.
CHARLIE:
There's four exits.
Risk and Walken, you take the rear.
Taub and Brown, you take the side.
Dunham and I
are gonna be in the front.
Remember, this is a hostage situation
in a contained environment.
So retrieving the hostage unharmed
is our top priority.
MAN: Yes, ma'am.
- Dunham.
Greg wants full custody of Ella.
- What?
- Another process server just came by.
Greg is claiming
that I am an unfit parent.
(RACHEL CRYING)
That the minor's mental and physical
well-being would be best served...
...under the sole custody
of the petitioner.
- He can't be serious.
- I won't let that happen.
I will run if I have to.
I will take her and I will disappear.
- I swear to God.
- Okay, Rachel?
Rachel, just calm down.
You're not running anywhere,
you're not gonna lose Ella.
He's just doing this to hurt me.
Okay, Rachel, listen to me.
This is one of those things
you're gonna look back on...
...you're gonna say, "I beat that too."
Do you hear me?
I hear you.
Okay.
So look, let's talk when I get home.
I've got a...
I gotta go to a meeting.
Okay.
We got that meeting.
MAN 1:
Freeze! Federal agents!
- Stay where you are!
OLIVIA: FBI.
MAN 2:
Get your ass on the floor!
- Clear?
MAN 3: Clear.
OLIVIA:
Valerie Boone.
(IN CHINESE)
(IN CHINESE)
Your wife isn't there.
I know that.
I need to talk to Agent Dunham.
- Dunham.
BROYLES: I'm putting him on.
- Agent Dunham.
- What the hell's going on?
There's a room in the back.
Can you see it?
Yeah, we checked. She's not there.
I know, but what I need is.
Okay, I'm here.
In front of you, you should see a row
of refrigeration units.
- Third from the right.
- Yeah, I see it.
Open it.
I'm not gonna do a thing
until you tell me why we're here.
- We're getting to that.
- No, you tell me now.
Inside that cooling unit...
...you'll find a contagion.
Five vials marked XT43.
The person who's out there killing
has been dosed with this.
- I need it to make an antidote.
- You lied to me?
No.
Agent Dunham,
they didn't kidnap my wife...
...they infected her.
That was my punishment
for trying to leave ZFT.
It's she who's out there killing.
BOONE:
Valerie Boone.
Valerie Boone,
you turn March into June.
- Lovely.
- That's enough.
You be on camera. I always do this.
BOONE:
I have no interest in being on camera.
VALERIE:
Come on, you.
BOONE: Okay. Are we both in?
Okay, that's me.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Us in the park.
(CAR ALARM CHIRPS)
You are so beautiful.
You are really warm.
You're burning up.
What? What's wrong?
You're my kind of guy.
I'm sorry.
(SIRENS WAILING)
MAN: That corner, stop traffic.
Stop the cars coming in.
Keep them on the sidewalk.
BROYLES:
Dunham.
Charlie's running a check
on the body found in the Mustang.
Peter said you had something
I should see.
We found this at Boone's house.
You want to pay specific attention
to the date.
BOONE: Whoever wore a lab coat
and rubber gloves?
Valerie Boone.
Valerie Boone,
you turn March into June.
- Lovely.
- That's enough.
You be on camera. I always do this.
BOONE:
I have no interest in being on camera.
VALERIE:
Come on, you.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Us in the park.
- Okay, look up. Okay.
VALERIE: Okay.
BOONE: There, okay, that's it.
VALERIE: No, no, no. That's not it.
- I'm running away.
VALERIE:
There he goes.
(VALERIE LAUGHS)
Oh, my God,
you look like you ran in the trash can.
That video was taken three weeks ago,
Dr. Boone.
Can you explain to me
why you're in a wheelchair today?
She needs to feed.
She can't control it.
I began to feed her
my own spinal fluid.
The more I gave,
the more she craved, until...
...I couldn't give any more.
The contagion burns
through her spinal fluid...
...faster than her body can replace it.
When she kills, it's simply...
...to refuel.
I tried to synthesize the antidote
on my own...
...watching her suffer the effects
of being infected...
...but I couldn't do it.
Not without a dose of the bacteria
to work from.
And for the rest of my life, this chair
will remind me of what I've done.
Why would ZFT want you
to create something like this?
To create a human nightmare.
The syphilis was just a platform.
A carrier for other attributes.
- Attributes that changed her.
- For what purpose?
For the same reason they asked me
to create the skin-growth toxin.
To show off.
- To who?
- Other scientists.
- You mean nothing to them.
- So how many vials were created?
- Just the ones that I took?
- I made six, now accounted for.
I can't guarantee
they won't pick up where I left off.
If they did figure out how to make it...
...could they weaponize this bacteria?
You really don't know
who you're dealing with.
The answer for both of us
is to let me make a cure.
Now that you've recovered
the dose samples, I can make it.
My offer still stands.
I'll tell you everything I know
when you find her.
If the cure works, we both win.
Now, I'll need access to a lab
with a blood analyzer.
I'll also need a spectroscope
and a centrifuge.
You might wanna write this down.
That won't be a problem.
Think it's a good idea
to let him have free rein...
...in Walter's
Believe-It-Or-Not emporium?
And this is something my son,
Peter, is working on.
I haven't got the faintest idea
what it is.
Your centrifuge is 20 years old.
Twenty-five. It's an oldie but a goodie.
I also have a cow.
And just for the record,
one mad scientist is my limit.
Think that having him help Walter
is our best chance at saving lives.
(PHONE RINGING)
- Dunham.
CHARLIE: It's Charlie.
We found Bob Dunn's missing car.
- Where?
- Clear across town in Mission Hill.
It's completely stripped.
Quarter panels, radio, everything.
- And the GPS?
- No, it's gone.
We got no way to track
where he picked up Boone's wife.
Okay, thanks, Charlie.
Good news, Peter. Nicholas and I
are in agreement about this penicillin.
Yes, we need to purify the mold,
then ferment it.
Into the highest
possible concentration.
Agent Farnsworth,
we're going to need a rat.
OLIVIA: Can you call me
if something else turns up?
- Okay, bye.
- Great news. They made a breakthrough.
They're gonna fight
super-syphilis with
super-penicillin. Syphilis
was the platform.
They kill the syphilis,
they stop the contagion.
I did the same thing once
against super-pneumonia.
Right. Well, Charlie just found
Dunn's car stripped in Mission Hill.
- Excellent. He check the GPS?
- Stolen.
Everything stolen
is not necessarily lost.
Meaning what?
If there's a car found
stripped in the Boston area...
...I can guarantee Mako
has his big toe in it.
- You have a friend who runs a chop shop?
- Yeah.
You make that sound so illegal.
PETER:
Come on, man, just trust me.
She's with me. I'll owe you one, okay?
Dunham.
Let's just say the GPS is here,
allegedly.
But it's useless because it's been
wiped for resale, hypothetically.
We're trying to track a killer,
Mr. Mako.
No, it's just Mako.
You know, like Cher.
Theoretically, if the GPS is wiped, then
that would put you in a rough spot...
...because you'd be hampering
a federal investigation.
- Come on...
- I'm trying to work with you.
We need the GPS
to find out where the victim was.
- But you stole his car from Brookline.
- I didn't steal his car from Brookline.
Where did you steal it from?
If I tell you
where we boosted that car...
...can we just say
that this conversation never happened?
Hypothetically?
Sure.
Route 18 in Weymouth, by the water.
(SQUEAKING)
Fascinating.
One hundred and five degrees.
And the rat's successfully infected.
This strain of syphilis raises
a body temperature well above normal.
Now, the cure is nearly complete.
Once this penicillin concentrates,
we can test it on the rat.
Where did you study, Nicholas?
At the Curie Institute, in Paris.
King's College, Aberdeen, Scotland.
It's quite a fall.
It's an honor to have your intellect
in my lab.
That's high praise.
Because I know very well who you are.
Well, that makes one of us.
A little memory loss
is often kind to the soul.
Is that a figure of speech,
or do you believe there is such a thing?
The soul?
There are days when I wish I did.
There are days when I wish I didn't.
I often wake up at night, frightened...
...with the understanding that
there are things man shouldn't know.
That the scientific trespasses
I've committed...
Will one day be judged.
Belly and I...
...would often debate this very thing.
William Bell, you've heard of him?
Of course.
Founder of Massive Dynamic.
- Richest man in the world.
- We used to share a lab.
Quite a fall.
If indeed there is a soul...
...we must consider then
that there is still time for redemption.
We're not being hauled off
to be judged yet, Nicholas.
PETER: This must be
where Mako boosted the car.
All this shattered glass.
So we're thinking what?
Boone's wife kills this guy,
steals his car and then drives it out here?
Yeah. But what was she doing here?
And where did she go?
You know what I hate
worse than the cold?
- What?
- Not much.
Olivia, I think I know
why she came out here.
The camera, Astrid.
ASTRID:
Okay. Ready.
(WALTER CLEARS THROAT)
We are about to inject the infected rat
with an antidote.
Should it prove effective,
it will no doubt work on humans as well.
Nicholas?
Now we wait.
Marvelous. You can bring the bodies
right this way, gentlemen.
We've been expecting you.
Right over here is fine.
May I offer you a Peek Frean?
A delicious vanilla wafer
with raspberry center and lemon cream.
PETER:
He doesn't want a cookie, Walter.
Apparently you're wrong.
OLIVIA:
That's two more bodies.
One we found in the forest
in Weymouth...
...the other on a street in Roxbury.
Where is she getting her victims? You
must have some idea where she'd go.
BOONE: The person out there killing
people is not thinking like my wife.
She wouldn't recognize me...
...let alone find comfort
in places she knows.
This one's been drinking.
He smells like a brewery.
- Hey, Peter, will you turn out the lights?
PETER: Seriously?
It's all right, Peter.
(HUMS)
(LAUGHS)
I ordered it on television.
ASTRID:
It's an entry stamp.
He's got the same one.
It's a place called the Cavern.
Industrial area is happening
in the underground club scene right now.
So she's going to the club
to find these victims?
Look, I need more time
to make the cure.
Please.
If you take her alive,
I know I can save her.
I'll see what I can do.
(NINE INCH NAIL'S " DISCIPLINE"
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
OLIVIA: Dunham. FBI.
And him too. He's with me.
WOMAN:
Now, you're my kind of guy.
What is that?
It's a handheld
thermo-imaging radiometer.
It tells me if you're hot.
So?
Oh, you're definitely hot.
But...
...I'm looking for someone with
syphilis.
Ha-ha. Okay.
I don't understand.
Something's wrong.
Something's missing.
The rat's body has rejected the cure.
- Perhaps a protein incompatibility.
- No, it's not that.
I know what's wrong.
The contagion required
cerebrospinal fluid as a catalyst.
And the cure
must require some as well.
Bond the cure to the contagion.
Yes, and the only spinal fluid we know
for a fact is compatible...
...is my own.
That's out of the question.
It's too dangerous.
If you lose more spinal fluid,
it could cause a brain hemorrhage.
No, I was very careful to monitor
the amount of fluid I removed.
Another 25 milliliters should be safe.
Walter, we can't.
We have no other choice.
ASTRID:
Walter.
Prep the table, Agent Farnsworth.
Thank you.
(LADYTRON'S "BURNING UP"
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
Anything?
PETER:
No, not yet.
I got her.
She's moving along the back wall.
OLIVIA:
Peter, I can't find her.
She was right there,
but she's gone now.
Okay. All right, keep looking.
I'm gonna check in with Charlie.
Hey, Charlie?
We had her but we lost her.
You got the exit?
Nobody's leaving yet.
She's still in there with you, Liv.
(BOONE SNIFFLING AND COUGHING)
WALTER: Would you prepare
this spinal fluid, Agent Farnsworth?
Come on up.
Here we go. Gently.
Gently, gently, gently.
- All right?
- Yes, thanks.
Charlie?
Charlie, I think she's headed to you.
- What's she wearing?
- Black dress.
- Freakishly blue eyes.
- On it.
Valerie Boone? Are you Valerie Boone?
It's her! Take her down!
All right, we got her. Clear the area.
WOMAN:
Oh, my God. They just shot that woman.
ASTRID:
I just got off the phone with Olivia.
Good news, Dr. Boone. They have her.
WALTER:
Oh, excellent.
Dr. Boone?
Walter.
Get me a TPA injection.
You lied to me.
You let me take too much spinal fluid.
How far would you go...
...for someone you love?
How's she doing?
She's gonna be out for hours.
Where's the siren on this thing?
There.
Is that why you wanted to drive?
(SIREN WAILING)
(CHUCKLING)
Everybody should get to do this
at least once before they die.
That look says more than just,
"I wish I hadn't have let him drive."
I was just thinking about
Nicholas Boone...
...and what he did for his wife,
or what he is doing.
Just that kind of love...
Greg asked Rachel for a divorce...
...and now he's fighting her
for custody.
- I never liked that guy.
- You've never met Greg.
But I met your sister,
so I know she deserves better.
And I thought you were
a card-carrying cynic.
I am. World-class.
But there's an argument to be made...
...that beneath every cynic
is a frustrated romantic.
(OLIVIA GRUNTING)
(TIRES SQUEALING)
Peter.
Peter, my tranq gun.
Thank you.
PETER:
I think she liked you.
WALTER:
Good. Bring her in, strap her down.
- Walter, what happened?
- He had a stroke.
- Pulse is strong.
- Yeah, so is she.
WALTER: Agent Farnsworth,
30 cc's of the antidote, please.
Peter.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Okay, now what?
- Now we wait.
(SCREAMING)
Walter?
No, let her.
Is she...?
Seems to be working.
Agent Farnsworth...
...prepare a solution of 30 parts saline.
And some adrenaline
and perhaps a cup of coffee.
Walter?
He's gone.
Dr. Boone asked me to give this
to you personally, Agent Dunham.
What is it, Walter?
Agent Dunham...
...if you're watching this,
I suspect I didn't make it.
But you and I had a bargain
and you held up your end.
Now, I have made many mistakes
in my life...
...but in the end,
I should at least be a man of my word.
And I promised you answers.
With any luck, you will use them
to rectify some of my misdeeds.
Now, in the time I worked with ZFT...
...I never dealt with anyone
of significant rank within the movement.
But I was able to gather some names.
Including some, I suspect,
you've already heard of.
(PIANO MUSIC PLAYING
OVER SPEAKERS)
Dunham.
Hey.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Uh, Nicholas Boone talked.
He told us everything he knew
about ZFT.
Did he mention David Robert Jones?
No. He said he'd never heard of him.
But he did mention another name
that we've heard before.
According to Boone,
the man who's funding ZFT...
...is William Bell.
WNKW 10:00 news.
We're gonna take you live now
to Janice Langis on the scene...
...at another Boston homicide.
WOMAN:
The body was found here, by Pier 7.
Police are canvassing the area.
No witnesses have come forward at this
time, and authorities are baffled...
...by what appears to be one of the most
gruesome murders in Boston's history.
The media has been blocked
from the crime scene.
All we've been told
is a body was found mutilated...
...by what might have been
a hunting knife.
Police are withholding the name of the
victim until their family can be contacted.
There are a number of nightclubs,
it's not the safest neighborhood.
There haven't been violent crimes
of this nature before.
Until someone with information
comes forward...
...police have no clues in this bizarre
murder that occurred here tonight.
- Hello, beautiful.
WOMAN: Finally. Where have you been?
- Did you get my message?
- I did.
But you didn't call me back.
No, I thought I'd call you later.
- How was the conference?
- Where were you last night, Bob?
Where would I be? I was at home.
I was catching up on my sleep.
- But I called.
- I turn off the phone to get some sleep.
You're starting to go down
that road again.
Before you know it, you'll be all upset.
This has more to do
with the miles between us.
All that dreary weather you have
in Portland.
You'll feel better when you get back
tomorrow. Hey, we'll do something nice.
In fact, we'll stay in.
I'll cook for us.
I'd like that, Bob.
Listen, love,
I'll call you when I get home tonight.
Right now, I gotta go have dinner with
these insufferable suits from Hong Kong.
I hope it won't be too awful.
You never can tell.
Bye.
(SHE WANTS REVENGE'S "TEAR YOU
APART" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
You know what's funny?
Before I came in here,
I thought I was good looking.
(LAUGHS)
Seriously.
I can tell you're my type of girl.
How do you know?
I know these things.
(MAN CLEARS THROAT)
Cheers, mate.
I can tell you're my kind of girl.

RACHEL: Oh, Olivia, you have to hear
how Neil and Helen met.
This could be good for my sister.
NEIL: We're both single,
we're in our 30s, hadn't met anyone.
We wanted to have kids.
Then I heard about this program
called Two Singles Together.
Two Singles Together
was the answer for us.
I'm sorry. Two...?
- Two Singles Together.
RACHEL: It's a matchmaking service.
Not just a matchmaking service,
Rachel.
- A way of life.
- Two Singles Together?
I have my own schedule.
Works for me.
I have no interest
in controlling Neil's either.
I like vacations in the sun and...
- I like the snow.
- Right.
Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose
of being in a relationship?
Well, there are things we agree on,
of course.
Like, um, where to live.
NEIL: Yeah.
HELEN: The appropriate kindergarten.
Friends we both enjoy.
Incidentally, I wanna make sure Ella
can attend Graham's birthday party.
Oh, I already RSVP'd
on the class sign-up.
No, no. That was for Neil's
rock-climbing party for Graham.
My party for Graham
is the following Saturday.
We are doing Science Center.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Excuse me for one minute.
HELEN: I wish you would stop talking
about Two Singles Together.
NEIL: I thought they'd be interested.
I mean, Olivia's single.
Oh, thanks, Olivia.
HELEN:
I think you had enough to drink, Neil.
What?
Greg's filing for divorce.
- Oh, Rach.
- Not now. Not in front of them.
They'll make me join
Two Singles Together.
(PHONE RINGING)
RACHEL:
Okay, where were we?
I'm sorry.
I've just been called into work.
Oh, what kind of work do you do,
Olivia?
CHARLIE: Victim's name was Bob Dunn.
He was 33 years old.
His girlfriend got back
from a business trip in Portland...
...couldn't reach him.
She found him here.
We confirmed her trip.
No forced entry, no witnesses.
So this matched the victim that Boston
PD found two nights ago at the pier?
- The one that's been all over the news?
- They don't know what to make of it.
So now they have another one.
Now it's ours to make something of.
- You know what this reminds me of?
- No.
But I'm gonna guess it's something
unbelievably disgusting.
Shrimp cocktail.
You see, shrimp must be deveined by
putting a shallow cut down the back...
...to expose the vein,
which in fact is not a vein at all...
- ...but the crustacean's intestinal tract.
- Great. Thanks for that.
Another foodstuff
I can cross off the menu for life.
- Hey, are you okay?
- What?
Well, you were awfully quiet
on the car ride...
...and you just don't seem your normal
chipper self at a bloody crime scene.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm...
It's just home stuff.
Well, I know from home stuff.
I live with the guy
inspecting a severed spine.
WALTER:
This is fascinating.
These appear to be bite marks.
See how the flesh is ripped
in the jagged markings.
Canine or even ursine. But human?
You're suggesting
that someone chewed his spine?
Yes. And with a jaw strength...
...well in excess of that
of a normal human being.
Great.
Well, maybe we're looking for Dracula.
Ha-ha! Finally, son, you are opening
your mind to new possibilities.
But no, there are no vampires, sadly.
But it will be something exciting,
I'm sure.
We have another monster
on the loose?
No, sir. Walter says that the teeth marks
are definitely human.
I can just about remember a suspect
being human was a given, not an option.
Bob Dunn's girlfriend said
that he had a car, an Audi A4.
It wasn't in the garage, and we couldn't
find it when we did a two-block sweep.
- Local PD is on it?
- We could get lucky.
- Maybe the killer took it.
- And Dr. Bishop?
He's at the lab with both bodies
doing autopsies.
Okay.
Well,
let me know if you learn anything.
Is there something else?
This may sound impolitic, sir...
...but I was wondering if you were
satisfied with your divorce attorney.
I've heard you talking on the phone
to your kids, but never to your wife.
I was satisfied.
Except for the bill.
I was wondering if I might be able
to get the name and number.
It should be waiting in your inbox.
- Thank you.
- I hope things work out for your sister.
I pay attention too, Agent Dunham.
C1 cervical vertebrae is connected
to the C2 cervical vertebrae.
The C2 cervical vertebrae is connected
to the C3 cervical vertebrae.
- Walter, that's enough.
- When you meet a nice girl...
...I would avoid bringing her home
for as long as possible.
This is the lab work you requested
on the victims.
Excellent.
It may help us understand
why their spinal columns...
...have been completely drained
of spinal fluid.
The killer took the victims' spinal fluid?
Why would they do that?
Where would the fun be
if we already knew all there is to know?
(WALTER CHUCKLES)
This is interesting.
Traces of Treponema pallidum.
That's the syphilis bacteria.
In the victim's neck and back.
Most likely from the killer's saliva.
So the killer has syphilis?
WALTER: Seems so.
PETER: Great. I should have worn gloves.
And what's even more fascinating...
...this particular strain of syphilis
is extinct.
Has been for decades.
How could the killer be exposed
to an extinct strain of syphilis?
See, isn't this fun?
I appreciate the CDC's prompt response
on this matter.
Of course. I ran an index search.
A sample of that particular
strain of syphilis...
...was shipped out four weeks ago
to a Lubov Pharmaceuticals.
They have a local address in Brighton.
Well, thank you,
but a phone call would have sufficed.
Actually,
I'm not sure that it would have.
Because their address
is in a residential area.
I took the liberty of running the rest of
Lubov's research requests...
...over the past few years.
This isn't the first contagion
they've ordered from us.
In fact, there have been quite a few.
We need to show this to Broyles.
PARDUE: Any reputable scientist
with appropriate credentials...
...can procure samples of bacteria
and viruses for their research.
In addition
to the extinct syphilis bacterium...
...Lubov Pharmaceuticals also procured
a sample of a substance called RUD 390.
- Which is?
PARDUE: A chemical compound...
...used in the construction of
bioweapons.
You suggesting
whoever is behind these killings...
- ...may be planning a biological attack?
- Or has before.
RUD 390
was one of the components...
...of the rapid-skin-growth toxin
that killed Agent Kent.
You're saying this is ZFT?
ZFT?
What's that?
We believe ZFT
is a terrorist organization...
...responsible for a number of bioattacks
in the last year.
I see.
Why? What is their agenda?
That's what we wanna find out.
Assemble an assault squad.
- Move on Lubov.
- Yes, sir.
(OLIVIA GASPING)
(BUZZING)
(BUZZING STOPS)
Federal agents. You're under arrest.
Dr. Nicholas Boone. Advanced degrees
in hematology and biochemistry.
Founder of Lubov Pharmaceuticals.
A multinational biotech firm
whose corporate offices...
...turn out to be in a split-level,
in Brighton.
Now, we know that the strain of syphilis
that you ordered was found on his spine.
And you see these?
They're human bite marks.
What is out there doing this?
What happened to these people?
How long have you been a follower
of ZFT?
That's right, Dr. Boone.
We know about ZFT.
What do you know?
Enough to know they're using the world
as a testing ground for experiments.
We wanna know more about
David Robert Jones...
...about who funds ZFT and why.
We wanna know
what we're dealing with.
I don't have to spell it out for you,
Dr. Boone.
You talk to us, give us information...
...help us with whatever's out there
killing people...
- ...it'll go better for you.
- What is doing this?
What have you done?
- Someone was dosed.
- With what?
Dosed with what?
I know a lot about
the things you want.
And more.
And I'll answer your questions.
But you have to help me first.
Help with what?
They have my wife.
I want you to get her back.
ZFT has your wife?
BOONE:
Agent Dunham...
...what counts with punishment is the
ability to know whom to hurt and when.
You're telling me ZFT is coercing you
to conduct these experiments...
...by threatening to harm your wife?
Why would they be punishing you?
Because when I realized what my work
was being used for...
...I tried to get out.
I'll tell you everything
you want to know.
But first you have to
get my wife back.
BROYLES:
Do you believe him?
- I don't.
- Boone's wife is a nurse.
I checked and she hasn't been to work
in three weeks.
- Proves nothing.
- I'm inclined to agree with Agent Francis.
Everything we know about these guys
suggests that they're zealots.
Why don't we go back,
ask why the sudden change of heart?
Can't ask a thing until we get his wife.
- Could be a trap.
- Could be the truth.
I'm sorry, since I've been
working in Fringe Division...
...81 people have lost their lives.
And that's not including the 147
on Flight 627.
In my entire career, only nine people
had died on cases that I worked.
This is the closest that we've ever come
to getting traction...
...on stopping these people.
Getting a handle on ZFT, Jones...
...or more.
This guy could be our chance.
(DOOR OPENS)
BROYLES: What is it?
- The address Boone gave us...
...where he says
they're holding his wife...
...it's a restaurant, in Chinatown.
Doesn't exactly scream
ZFT hive of activity.
MAN: They've been tagged by Edison.
- Meaning?
They're burning five times
more power...
...than they should
making Moo shu pork.
They could be using the power
for something else.
To facilitate a laboratory?
This could be our chance
to get to ZFT.
Go get her.
OLIVIA:
I'll get a team together.
PETER:
Peter and Walter Bishop.
We're here to catalog the evidence.
WALTER:
Walter Bishop. Nice to meet you.
Hello. Hello. Please, sit down.
Bishop. Walter Bishop.
You don't have
to shake everybody's hand.
He gets a little nervous
around authority figures.
Oh, boy.
Look at that.
Benzyl alcohol.
A colorless liquid used as a bacteriostatic
in solutions for injection.
Topically as a local anesthetic.
Personally,
I like to use it as a mouthwash.
What did this guy create?
From what I've seen so far,
I am forming a hypothesis.
Would you care to hear it?
Well, I don't know. Would I ever be able
to sleep at night again?
- That depends.
- Depends on what?
On whether the light is on or not.
CHARLIE:
There's four exits.
Risk and Walken, you take the rear.
Taub and Brown, you take the side.
Dunham and I
are gonna be in the front.
Remember, this is a hostage situation
in a contained environment.
So retrieving the hostage unharmed
is our top priority.
MAN: Yes, ma'am.
- Dunham.
Greg wants full custody of Ella.
- What?
- Another process server just came by.
Greg is claiming
that I am an unfit parent.
(RACHEL CRYING)
That the minor's mental and physical
well-being would be best served...
...under the sole custody
of the petitioner.
- He can't be serious.
- I won't let that happen.
I will run if I have to.
I will take her and I will disappear.
- I swear to God.
- Okay, Rachel?
Rachel, just calm down.
You're not running anywhere,
you're not gonna lose Ella.
He's just doing this to hurt me.
Okay, Rachel, listen to me.
This is one of those things
you're gonna look back on...
...you're gonna say, "I beat that too."
Do you hear me?
I hear you.
Okay.
So look, let's talk when I get home.
I've got a...
I gotta go to a meeting.
Okay.
We got that meeting.
MAN 1:
Freeze! Federal agents!
- Stay where you are!
OLIVIA: FBI.
MAN 2:
Get your ass on the floor!
- Clear?
MAN 3: Clear.
OLIVIA:
Valerie Boone.
(IN CHINESE)
(IN CHINESE)
Your wife isn't there.
I know that.
I need to talk to Agent Dunham.
- Dunham.
BROYLES: I'm putting him on.
- Agent Dunham.
- What the hell's going on?
There's a room in the back.
Can you see it?
Yeah, we checked. She's not there.
I know, but what I need is.
Okay, I'm here.
In front of you, you should see a row
of refrigeration units.
- Third from the right.
- Yeah, I see it.
Open it.
I'm not gonna do a thing
until you tell me why we're here.
- We're getting to that.
- No, you tell me now.
Inside that cooling unit...
...you'll find a contagion.
Five vials marked XT43.
The person who's out there killing
has been dosed with this.
- I need it to make an antidote.
- You lied to me?
No.
Agent Dunham,
they didn't kidnap my wife...
...they infected her.
That was my punishment
for trying to leave ZFT.
It's she who's out there killing.
BOONE:
Valerie Boone.
Valerie Boone,
you turn March into June.
- Lovely.
- That's enough.
You be on camera. I always do this.
BOONE:
I have no interest in being on camera.
VALERIE:
Come on, you.
BOONE: Okay. Are we both in?
Okay, that's me.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Us in the park.
(CAR ALARM CHIRPS)
You are so beautiful.
You are really warm.
You're burning up.
What? What's wrong?
You're my kind of guy.
I'm sorry.
(SIRENS WAILING)
MAN: That corner, stop traffic.
Stop the cars coming in.
Keep them on the sidewalk.
BROYLES:
Dunham.
Charlie's running a check
on the body found in the Mustang.
Peter said you had something
I should see.
We found this at Boone's house.
You want to pay specific attention
to the date.
BOONE: Whoever wore a lab coat
and rubber gloves?
Valerie Boone.
Valerie Boone,
you turn March into June.
- Lovely.
- That's enough.
You be on camera. I always do this.
BOONE:
I have no interest in being on camera.
VALERIE:
Come on, you.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Us in the park.
- Okay, look up. Okay.
VALERIE: Okay.
BOONE: There, okay, that's it.
VALERIE: No, no, no. That's not it.
- I'm running away.
VALERIE:
There he goes.
(VALERIE LAUGHS)
Oh, my God,
you look like you ran in the trash can.
That video was taken three weeks ago,
Dr. Boone.
Can you explain to me
why you're in a wheelchair today?
She needs to feed.
She can't control it.
I began to feed her
my own spinal fluid.
The more I gave,
the more she craved, until...
...I couldn't give any more.
The contagion burns
through her spinal fluid...
...faster than her body can replace it.
When she kills, it's simply...
...to refuel.
I tried to synthesize the antidote
on my own...
...watching her suffer the effects
of being infected...
...but I couldn't do it.
Not without a dose of the bacteria
to work from.
And for the rest of my life, this chair
will remind me of what I've done.
Why would ZFT want you
to create something like this?
To create a human nightmare.
The syphilis was just a platform.
A carrier for other attributes.
- Attributes that changed her.
- For what purpose?
For the same reason they asked me
to create the skin-growth toxin.
To show off.
- To who?
- Other scientists.
- You mean nothing to them.
- So how many vials were created?
- Just the ones that I took?
- I made six, now accounted for.
I can't guarantee
they won't pick up where I left off.
If they did figure out how to make it...
...could they weaponize this bacteria?
You really don't know
who you're dealing with.
The answer for both of us
is to let me make a cure.
Now that you've recovered
the dose samples, I can make it.
My offer still stands.
I'll tell you everything I know
when you find her.
If the cure works, we both win.
Now, I'll need access to a lab
with a blood analyzer.
I'll also need a spectroscope
and a centrifuge.
You might wanna write this down.
That won't be a problem.
Think it's a good idea
to let him have free rein...
...in Walter's
Believe-It-Or-Not emporium?
And this is something my son,
Peter, is working on.
I haven't got the faintest idea
what it is.
Your centrifuge is 20 years old.
Twenty-five. It's an oldie but a goodie.
I also have a cow.
And just for the record,
one mad scientist is my limit.
Think that having him help Walter
is our best chance at saving lives.
(PHONE RINGING)
- Dunham.
CHARLIE: It's Charlie.
We found Bob Dunn's missing car.
- Where?
- Clear across town in Mission Hill.
It's completely stripped.
Quarter panels, radio, everything.
- And the GPS?
- No, it's gone.
We got no way to track
where he picked up Boone's wife.
Okay, thanks, Charlie.
Good news, Peter. Nicholas and I
are in agreement about this penicillin.
Yes, we need to purify the mold,
then ferment it.
Into the highest
possible concentration.
Agent Farnsworth,
we're going to need a rat.
OLIVIA: Can you call me
if something else turns up?
- Okay, bye.
- Great news. They made a breakthrough.
They're gonna fight
super-syphilis with
super-penicillin. Syphilis
was the platform.
They kill the syphilis,
they stop the contagion.
I did the same thing once
against super-pneumonia.
Right. Well, Charlie just found
Dunn's car stripped in Mission Hill.
- Excellent. He check the GPS?
- Stolen.
Everything stolen
is not necessarily lost.
Meaning what?
If there's a car found
stripped in the Boston area...
...I can guarantee Mako
has his big toe in it.
- You have a friend who runs a chop shop?
- Yeah.
You make that sound so illegal.
PETER:
Come on, man, just trust me.
She's with me. I'll owe you one, okay?
Dunham.
Let's just say the GPS is here,
allegedly.
But it's useless because it's been
wiped for resale, hypothetically.
We're trying to track a killer,
Mr. Mako.
No, it's just Mako.
You know, like Cher.
Theoretically, if the GPS is wiped, then
that would put you in a rough spot...
...because you'd be hampering
a federal investigation.
- Come on...
- I'm trying to work with you.
We need the GPS
to find out where the victim was.
- But you stole his car from Brookline.
- I didn't steal his car from Brookline.
Where did you steal it from?
If I tell you
where we boosted that car...
...can we just say
that this conversation never happened?
Hypothetically?
Sure.
Route 18 in Weymouth, by the water.
(SQUEAKING)
Fascinating.
One hundred and five degrees.
And the rat's successfully infected.
This strain of syphilis raises
a body temperature well above normal.
Now, the cure is nearly complete.
Once this penicillin concentrates,
we can test it on the rat.
Where did you study, Nicholas?
At the Curie Institute, in Paris.
King's College, Aberdeen, Scotland.
It's quite a fall.
It's an honor to have your intellect
in my lab.
That's high praise.
Because I know very well who you are.
Well, that makes one of us.
A little memory loss
is often kind to the soul.
Is that a figure of speech,
or do you believe there is such a thing?
The soul?
There are days when I wish I did.
There are days when I wish I didn't.
I often wake up at night, frightened...
...with the understanding that
there are things man shouldn't know.
That the scientific trespasses
I've committed...
Will one day be judged.
Belly and I...
...would often debate this very thing.
William Bell, you've heard of him?
Of course.
Founder of Massive Dynamic.
- Richest man in the world.
- We used to share a lab.
Quite a fall.
If indeed there is a soul...
...we must consider then
that there is still time for redemption.
We're not being hauled off
to be judged yet, Nicholas.
PETER: This must be
where Mako boosted the car.
All this shattered glass.
So we're thinking what?
Boone's wife kills this guy,
steals his car and then drives it out here?
Yeah. But what was she doing here?
And where did she go?
You know what I hate
worse than the cold?
- What?
- Not much.
Olivia, I think I know
why she came out here.
The camera, Astrid.
ASTRID:
Okay. Ready.
(WALTER CLEARS THROAT)
We are about to inject the infected rat
with an antidote.
Should it prove effective,
it will no doubt work on humans as well.
Nicholas?
Now we wait.
Marvelous. You can bring the bodies
right this way, gentlemen.
We've been expecting you.
Right over here is fine.
May I offer you a Peek Frean?
A delicious vanilla wafer
with raspberry center and lemon cream.
PETER:
He doesn't want a cookie, Walter.
Apparently you're wrong.
OLIVIA:
That's two more bodies.
One we found in the forest
in Weymouth...
...the other on a street in Roxbury.
Where is she getting her victims? You
must have some idea where she'd go.
BOONE: The person out there killing
people is not thinking like my wife.
She wouldn't recognize me...
...let alone find comfort
in places she knows.
This one's been drinking.
He smells like a brewery.
- Hey, Peter, will you turn out the lights?
PETER: Seriously?
It's all right, Peter.
(HUMS)
(LAUGHS)
I ordered it on television.
ASTRID:
It's an entry stamp.
He's got the same one.
It's a place called the Cavern.
Industrial area is happening
in the underground club scene right now.
So she's going to the club
to find these victims?
Look, I need more time
to make the cure.
Please.
If you take her alive,
I know I can save her.
I'll see what I can do.
(NINE INCH NAIL'S " DISCIPLINE"

OLIVIA: Dunham. FBI.
And him too. He's with me.
WOMAN:
Now, you're my kind of guy.
What is that?
It's a handheld
thermo-imaging radiometer.
It tells me if you're hot.
So?
Oh, you're definitely hot.
But...
...I'm looking for someone with
syphilis.
Ha-ha. Okay.
I don't understand.
Something's wrong.
Something's missing.
The rat's body has rejected the cure.
- Perhaps a protein incompatibility.
- No, it's not that.
I know what's wrong.
The contagion required
cerebrospinal fluid as a catalyst.
And the cure
must require some as well.
Bond the cure to the contagion.
Yes, and the only spinal fluid we know
for a fact is compatible...
...is my own.
That's out of the question.
It's too dangerous.
If you lose more spinal fluid,
it could cause a brain hemorrhage.
No, I was very careful to monitor
the amount of fluid I removed.
Another 25 milliliters should be safe.
Walter, we can't.
We have no other choice.
ASTRID:
Walter.
Prep the table, Agent Farnsworth.
Thank you.
(LADYTRON'S "BURNING UP"
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
Anything?
PETER:
No, not yet.
I got her.
She's moving along the back wall.
OLIVIA:
Peter, I can't find her.
She was right there,
but she's gone now.
Okay. All right, keep looking.
I'm gonna check in with Charlie.
Hey, Charlie?
We had her but we lost her.
You got the exit?
Nobody's leaving yet.
She's still in there with you, Liv.
(BOONE SNIFFLING AND COUGHING)
WALTER: Would you prepare
this spinal fluid, Agent Farnsworth?
Come on up.
Here we go. Gently.
Gently, gently, gently.
- All right?
- Yes, thanks.
Charlie?
Charlie, I think she's headed to you.
- What's she wearing?
- Black dress.
- Freakishly blue eyes.
- On it.
Valerie Boone? Are you Valerie Boone?
It's her! Take her down!
All right, we got her. Clear the area.
WOMAN:
Oh, my God. They just shot that woman.
ASTRID:
I just got off the phone with Olivia.
Good news, Dr. Boone. They have her.
WALTER:
Oh, excellent.
Dr. Boone?
Walter.
Get me a TPA injection.
You lied to me.
You let me take too much spinal fluid.
How far would you go...
...for someone you love?
How's she doing?
She's gonna be out for hours.
Where's the siren on this thing?
There.
Is that why you wanted to drive?
(SIREN WAILING)
(CHUCKLING)
Everybody should get to do this
at least once before they die.
That look says more than just,
"I wish I hadn't have let him drive."
I was just thinking about
Nicholas Boone...
...and what he did for his wife,
or what he is doing.
Just that kind of love...
Greg asked Rachel for a divorce...
...and now he's fighting her
for custody.
- I never liked that guy.
- You've never met Greg.
But I met your sister,
so I know she deserves better.
And I thought you were
a card-carrying cynic.
I am. World-class.
But there's an argument to be made...
...that beneath every cynic
is a frustrated romantic.
(OLIVIA GRUNTING)
(TIRES SQUEALING)
Peter.
Peter, my tranq gun.
Thank you.
PETER:
I think she liked you.
WALTER:
Good. Bring her in, strap her down.
- Walter, what happened?
- He had a stroke.
- Pulse is strong.
- Yeah, so is she.
WALTER: Agent Farnsworth,
30 cc's of the antidote, please.
Peter.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Okay, now what?
- Now we wait.
(SCREAMING)
Walter?
No, let her.
Is she...?
Seems to be working.
Agent Farnsworth...
...prepare a solution of 30 parts saline.
And some adrenaline
and perhaps a cup of coffee.
Walter?
He's gone.
Dr. Boone asked me to give this
to you personally, Agent Dunham.
What is it, Walter?
Agent Dunham...
...if you're watching this,
I suspect I didn't make it.
But you and I had a bargain
and you held up your end.
Now, I have made many mistakes
in my life...
...but in the end,
I should at least be a man of my word.
And I promised you answers.
With any luck, you will use them
to rectify some of my misdeeds.
Now, in the time I worked with ZFT...
...I never dealt with anyone
of significant rank within the movement.
But I was able to gather some names.
Including some, I suspect,
you've already heard of.
(PIANO MUSIC PLAYING
OVER SPEAKERS)
Dunham.
Hey.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Uh, Nicholas Boone talked.
He told us everything he knew
about ZFT.
Did he mention David Robert Jones?
No. He said he'd never heard of him.
But he did mention another name
that we've heard before.
According to Boone,
the man who's funding ZFT...
...is William Bell.
