Announcer: Previously, on fringe:
Olivia dunham, fbi.
A series of events has occurred.
It's been referred to as "the pattern."
Anybody you need, you can have.
(olivia) his name's walter bishop.
He worked out of harvard,
In an area called fringe science.
Certain private inidividuals have been granted clearance
Regarding the pattern, including nina sharp.
(nina) massive dynamic is one of the ten largest
Economic entities in the world.
No matter where my investigations take me,
They always come back here.
You should know what you're getting into, agent dunham.
[sirens wailing]
[tires screech]
[sirens wailing]
Get out of the car! Hands on your head!
This is officer williams.
Hostage appears unharmed.
I said get out of the car, now!
Step away from the car. Then on your knees.
You okay?
You have no idea what you're dealing with.
(male officer) is that right?
What the hell are you doing?
(williams) gibson, I'm talking to you.
Gibson!

[police radio chatter]
(broyles) we're running the security photos
Through facial recognition software.
We should have the kidnappers' names within the hour.
(broyles) preliminary ballistics confirms that officer williams
Fired all three shots. Including the one that killed her?
Self-inflicted.
As far as we can tell, the kidnappers don't even have guns.
Who's the kid? Tyler carson. 15 years old.
According to nypd, he disappeared 36 hours ago.
They're still running leads.
Walter, remember that conversation we had
About personal space?
I'm bored.
No cadavers at this crime scene.
Or food.
Walter, they're transferring the bodies to your lab now.
There's no need-- I've already formed an hypothesis
As to what happened here.
Mesmerism. Hypnotism.
The victims have obviously been subjected
To subliminal suggestions of a violent nature.
Walter, hypnosis can't make you do anything
That you don't want to do.
Take a look at this.
The kidnapped kid's father-- he works for fleming-monroe.
The aerospace division of massive dynamic.
I already have a call in to nina sharp.
Ms. Sharp's office is right this way.
Dr. Carson is in there waiting with her now.
Uh, miss?
The screen in the elevator said there are 73 laboratories.
Is--is that right?
Yes.
Ms. Sharp's office is right this way.
It's amazing.
Dr. Carson, why didn't you call the police sooner?
I didn't even know he was gone
Until I got the call from them--
The men who took him.
Tyler and I don't talk much.
I--I just figured it's because of his age.
You know what teens are like.
I guess that's just an excuse, isn't it?
So what did the kidnappers say?
Just to wait for further instruction.
Ms. Sharp, the two men identified in those photographs,
Are you absolutely certain
They have no connection to your company?
(nina) yes, we cross-referenced their names
With our employee database.
Patrick hickey and tom dobbins have never worked for us,
And they've had no peripheral involvement
With any of our clients or partners.
According to the police, they're used car salesmen.
And there's been no indication of their demands?
No, not yet.
So is it possible that these men are trying
To extort secrets from massive dynamic?
We have come to the same conclusion.
Well, would you care to share what kind of secrets?
Dr. Carson performs sensitive and highly-classified work
On military aircraft designs, piloting software,
Guidance systems.
What I do here, it's-- it's my life.
It's the only--
Tyler's mother died when he was just a boy.
And now if-- if I lose him,
I don't know what I'd do.
I'll get him. Excuse me.
Dr. Carson, we will do everything we can
To try and find your son.
Hey, walter.
What are you doing?
Massive dynamic...
It was just a name until now.
Did you know that I once shared a laboratory
With william bell?
You might have mentioned that once or twice.
Look how much he's achieved.
You know, he introduced me to her.
To whom?
Your mother.
After the neurobiology conference in berlin.
It was our idea, you know,
That belly and I would one day
Form a company together.
He just couldn't wait, I suppose.
But thankfully she was still there for you
While I was gone.
I'm hungry.
[entry bell rings]
Give me all the cash in the register.
(clerk) you kidding me?
You don't even have a gun.
Just do it, before somebody gets hurt.
Hey, buddy, is there gonna be a problem here?
You really don't want to get involved in this.
I think I just did.
[water sizzles on hot plate]
[sizzling]
Aah!
[groaning]
Get out of my store.
You should have just given up the money.
[keys jingle]
[electricity crackling] unh!
Remind me to never get a job as a convenience store clerk.
Any witnesses?
Both victims are in intensive care
At university hospital.
So no statements anytime soon.
Stealing food and knocking over convenience stores?
These kidnappers don't really seem like
They have much of a plan.
No. There's a second feed on the door.
(olivia) he looks so scared.
(peter) so why doesn't he run?
He could just make a break for it.
Far too soon for stockholm syndrome to have kicked in.
Well, maybe your father's right.
Maybe one or both of them are controlling people
Through hypnotic suggestion.
Then they could just get the clerk to give 'em the cash.
Why all the carnage?
Maybe they're silencing the witnesses.
They don't want us to know how it works.
[cell phone rings]
Dunham.
Just talked to the owner of the car dealership
Where the kidnappers worked.
Said hickey and dobbins were his best salesmen.
So is there anything out of the ordinary
About these two guys?
(broyles) model employees.
The owner was completely mystified
As to how they got mixed up in this.
Says they each made a sale that morning,
Took one of his loaner cars out for lunch,
And never came back.
Okay. [phone beeps]
Broyles says the suspects were good at their jobs.
No criminal record. Boss loves 'em.
(olivia) so how do these two become kidnappers?
(peter) you think they could be spies?
Maybe they're hiding out in plain sight.
Foreign intelligence agents often take mundane jobs
So they can blend in while they're gathering information.
There's certainly nothing more mundane
Than being a used car salesman.
So throw in massive dynamic
And your father's theory on hypnotism
And it all starts to add up.
[bone saw winding down]
Chicken. You serious?
Just a hypothesis.
What do you think, more like pork?
Truthfully, I don't really spend a lot of time
Thinking about what human brains would taste like.
Then why did you ask? [bone saw grinds]
I was asking what you expected to find
With this brain.
Oh. And normally
Hypnosis would simply... [grunts]
Boost the alpha wave of the brain
With no visible effect.
But given the extreme nature of the suggestions
In this policewoman's case,
I suspect there might be lesions on the brain.
And visible damage.
[metal clangs]
Oh, yes...
Oh, my.
Thank you.
Now, this is not hypnosis. It is mind control.
There's a difference? Oh, yes. Peter was right.
Hypnosis can only go so far--
Suggesting, but not forcing behavior.
Look, look, look.
Hematomas on the brain matter.
Indicating actual trauma.
The result of conflicting neural impulses.
A conflict of mind and body.
Is that what killed them?
Oh, no, no, no. No...
The bullet took care of that.
(walter) no, but mind control could cause brain damage.
I theorize that the power operates
Through the cochlear nerve.
You mean sound. Yes.
An auditory trance is a far more effective
Path manipulation than the other senses.
But again, it's just a hypothesis.
Even if we find out where they are,
Nobody can get near them
As long as they have this talent.
Then I need you to work out how to block it.
The ransom call could come at any minute,
And we need to be ready. Right. Right. Right.
I don't understand. Why are we just standing around?
Shouldn't we do something? Dr. Carson...
I have my very best agents on the case.
But you need to be here when the kidnappers call.
[knock on door]
Special agent broyles?
We've just received a call for dr. Carson.
It's his son.
We're ready, sir.
Hello?
(tyler) dad...It's me.
Tyler, are you okay?
Just give them what they want. Please.
(man) you've seen that we won't hesitate to do
Whatever's necessary in order to get what we want.
Please, listen, I'll do anything you need--anything!
(man) $2 million, unmarked bills.
The industrial park off I-78, western newark airport.
5:00 p.M.
If you're even a minute late, your son dies.
No, please, listen-- [dial tone]
Tyler?
Money?
All they want is money?
I can sell the house. Cash in my stock options...
Massive dynamic will cover any ransom.
They're trying to squeeze a major international corporation
With a kidnapping.
It doesn't add up.
Money's the distraction.
They want something else.
(olivia) they took your son for a reason.
So what now?
We set a trap.
¶ have you any wool? ¶
¶ yes, sir, yes... ¶
Peter, we're running out of time.
You don't have any idea what your father's looking for?
No. He just muttered something about my childhood.
Aha.
Here it is.
It generates white noise,
Which simulates the sound of being in utero.
[pulsating white noise] huh? Huh?
Just what we need to block the mind control.
(peter) a teddy bear versus mind control spies?
Bad guys don't stand a chance.
(olivia) dr. Carson will meet the kidnapper
With the briefcase.
So take no action until the exchange is complete.
We want clean shots only.
We want them alive, if possible.
But the boy's safety comes first.
This is exciting.
You think the fbi will ever give me a gun?
Dr. Bishop will now explain how to use the equipment
That you've been provided.
Yes.
Hello. I am dr. Walter bishop.
You've been given a set of audio-adapting earphones
Like this,
Which will give off a steady stream of white noise.
The headphones will make it so the kidnappers can't
Control you with sound.
Now, put 'em on. We gotta do a sound check.
[white noise pulsating]
My son peter's teddy bear emits a sound...
[white noise pulsating]
(walter) as you listen, you may feel a sense of deep tranquility,
As if you returned to your mother's womb.
Um, walter, I think you're gonna need this.
Thank you, peter.
You will now be able to hear my voice.
Each of your team leaders will have a microphone
Like this one.
You will not be able to communicate
With each other directly.
All commands will come through the headphones.
Once you're given the order to put on the headphones,
Do not remove them under any circumstances.
If you do, you may die a gruesome and horrible death.
Thank you for your attention. And have a nice day.
(agent) alpha team in position.
(second agent) bravo team in position.
Agent dunham, we have a brown sedan
Entering in on the north side.
Do you see tyler in the vehicle?
That's a negative.
All teams stand by and hold position.
Bravo team, what's your status?
(agent) we have somebody moving in on foot.
(agent) copy that. Possible suspect en route to dr. Carson.
All units, headphones on.
(olivia) team leaders, move communication
To microphones.
[white noise pulsating]
(olivia) contact made.
Can anyone see the hostage?
This is alpha leader. Negative.
I've got nothing.
Bravo. Negative on my end too.
All units, move! Move!
[pulsating white noise]
[speech inaudible] [pulsating white noise]
[white noise stops] help me!
[trigger clicking]
Help me.
You can lose the stupid headphones.
They don't work.
Take me to your car.
Agent Balik? This is Agent Dunham. Copy?
(balik) copy. Go for balik.
Any sign of tyler carson?
Negative. We did two full sweeps.
This place is abandoned. Olivia?
Agent dunham. Where is he?
Tyler? We're still looking for him, walter.
No, no, no, I don't mean tyler.
I mean peter. I thought he was with you.
He's gone.
I can't find him anywhere.
Uh, has anyone seen peter bishop?
(man) I told you,
We were the hostages in that car.
Tyler carson wanted you to kidnap him?
I'm saying he made us do it.
He worked us like puppets. He forced us to drive.
He made us watch all those people die!
What about the ransom call?
I told you, he made us say what he wanted!
How did he do that, exactly? I don't know how he does it.
You think I wanted to saw off my own finger?
He made me do it when I tried to get away.
And that friend of yours you keep talking about.
You better pray he's not with that kid.
Head hurts pretty bad, huh? [groans]
That's what happens when you try to fight it.
I can make it stop if you do what I say.
[straining] yes.
[relieved] oh...Oh....
Keep driving straight.
You know, your father's worried about you.
Awesome.
Come on, kid, let's pull over and talk about--
Hey, bad idea!
What are you doing?
Let's see how fast this piece of junk can go.
[engine revving]
[tires screeching] kid, you're gonna get us killed!
[horns honking]
Are you ready to behave? Yes!
[tires screech]
Just so we're clear...
I can make you do whatever I want.
I can control all of you, or just part of you.
You know what, kid...
You're a real son of a bitch.
(olivia) it's tyler. Tyler is the kidnapper.
This was taken from a traffic cam on I-95.
He's the one controlling people,
And he's taken peter hostage.
How could this have happened?
The son of one of your top scientists
Can control people's minds?
Surely that's not a coincidence.
That doesn't seem possible.
But dr. Carson works in aerospace.
But on one of his projects, he's been collaborating
With the pharmaceutical division.
What project?
(nina) this is our flight simulation deck.
What you're watching is a live test
Of our prototype hands-free guidance system.
(olivia) hands-free navigation.
So who's controlling the jet?
(nina) electrodes in the pilot's helmet
Are picking up on his thought patterns,
Which send commands to an onboard computer.
The pilot has been given a pharmaceutical enhancement--
A drug to amplify his brainwaves.
Which makes it easier for the electrodes
In the helmet to read them.
(walter) dr. Carson, did you, perchance,
Expose your son to this so-called
Pharmaceutical enhancement?
Massive dynamic has strict testing protocols.
Family members are absolutely ruled out as test subjects.
Oh, my god.
I took some samples home for further research.
Tyler might have found them.
I got a question.
How far away can you control people?
You mean, how far do you have to run?
Nice try.
When did you figure out that you were able to--
I'm not telling you anything, all right?
Hey, genius, the second you took me,
They knew that you were behind it all.
Whatever. You had no idea
That I was the one in charge.
[chuckle] yeah.
You managed to kidnap yourself--congratulations.
You're a criminal mastermind.
Screw you.
You really haven't thought this out, have you?
I mean, you don't even have a plan.
Shut up. You sound just like my father.
Oh, come on. That's what this is about?
Some sort of vendetta against your dad?
Do you really think that you're the first kid
Whose father didn't think he was good enough
Or smart enough? Take a number.
(dr. Carson) but it doesn't make sense
Because even if tyler did take the drugs,
They're designed to work on computer systems,
Not on other human beings.
(walter) the brain is a computer, doctor.
It's an organic computer.
It can be hijacked like any other.
So how old is this boy?
15? Still going through puberty? Yes?
Yes. Yes!
(walter) his system flooded with hormones
Affecting his neural transmitters.
Opening up the pathways for the uptake
Of psychoactive chemicals, yes?
I suppose it's possible. Yes.
Oh, it is. It's possible, all right.
And was he, by chance, taking any prescription medication?
Psychostimulants, perhaps?
Yes. Yes!
Tyler was taking medication for attention deficit disorder.
All right, well, puberty,
A.D.D. Medication,
And an untested brainwave enhancer.
It's a mind control cocktail.
Because of this man's inability to be a proper parent,
His son has kidnapped mine!
Walter!
(peter) you know, I used to hate my father too.
I know what it's like.
I need a driver, all right?
Not a big brother.
[police siren blaring]
Don't stop.
Kid, this has been a ton of fun,
But let's get real here. It cannot go on forever.
I say it's not even close to finished.
[siren blaring]
Pull over.
[siren off]
(peter) let me take care of this.
If you don't, I will.
Evening, officer.
Sir, I'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle.
Sure.
Put your hands on the car.
I'm sorry, officer, did I do something wrong?
I said up against the car.
You got any kind of weapon on you,
You should tell me now.
Tyler! Tyler! Tyler, please.
Do not force me to shoot this man.
He'll tell them where we are. They'll try to stop us.
Please! Please!
Come on, tyler.
There's gotta be another way.
[strained grunts]
Unh!
Something like that?
We lost them at the New Jersey turn pike.
Heading south. towards swedesboro.
We have a chopper shadowing the vehicle.
We need all assets rerouted to that vicinity.
Let me know if you spot him.
Thanks. Astrid?
You tell the state troopers if they spot them,
To keep their distance.
Stay just within visual range.
And make sure they know that peter is not the target.
Yeah. [knock on door]
Agent dunham, you're needed in ms. Sharp's office.
What's wrong? The director's just classified tyler carson
As a national security threat.
Fringe division has been ordered to stand down.
Any intercept will be handled by special forces.
But we're the only reason they have any clue
What's really going on.
How can they take us off now?
New information has come to light
About tyler's plans.
Turns out he purchased two one-way tickets to costa rica,
Which he bought before abducting peter.
Headquarters believes the boy may be working
With a foreign handler.
With respect, all the evidence points
Towards an angry kid.
Best-case scenario, we have a highly intelligent malcontent
On a killing spree.
Besides, the director thinks it's worse.
Tyler may have been recruited to deliver
A multi-million dollar defense project
To our country's enemies.
"overwhelming force will be brought to bear if necessary"?
You know what this means.
Peter could be collateral damage.
But regardless,
We need to contain the situation on our own
Before it's too late.
[footsteps, door opens]
[door shuts]
Walter?
Have you made any headway?
I can't lose him again.
Walter...
I know you're worried. We all are.
But we can get peter back.
We just need you to find a way to disable tyler.
Peter always helps me.
I don't know what to do.
How do I do this without peter?
He always helps me.
He helps me too.
But you can do this.
Walter...
I know you're scared.
But you're the only one that can help him.
Maybe I could use an emf scrambler
To disrupt his beta wave transmissions.
Sounds like a good place to start.
Olivia, I think I found something.
They just brought tyler's computer in.
He's been doing some pretty strange searches.
This is what he was looking for?
Obituaries and death notices?
All of women who died 14 years ago in car accidents.
Look, all these women died in their mid-twenties.
Yeah.
So that would make them what, about 40 now if they were alive?
What are you thinking?
I don't know yet.
Can you pull up his most recent search?
Yeah.
(olivia) what do you know about renee davies?
Who is she?
[sighs] she's my ex-wife.
Tyler's mother.
Where'd you find this?
It was on tyler's computer.
This was a good idea.
Yeah, I was 15 once too.
But I had to talk my way into places like this.
You know, there are plenty of easier ways
To get money.
Yeah, but it wouldn't have been as fun.
Fun?
Faking your kidnapping...
Jacking your dad's company...
Killing cops and innocent bystanders--
That wasn't part of the plan. Okay?
They just... Got in the way.
You know, I get it.
I mean, you wanted to torture your dad, right?
But the thing just got away from you.
Blew up in your face. It's not done yet.
What'd your daddy do to you anyway?
Didn't pay you enough attention?
Forgot your birthday?
Didn't play ball with you enough?
He lied to me my entire life.
Let's not get dramatic.
He told me my mother was dead.
But you have to understand, she was a mess.
She was on drugs, off drugs.
I mean, I never knew what she was gonna do next.
When tyler was a baby, she would literally disappear
For weeks at a time.
And then finally she-- she just never came back.
Does tyler know what happened?
I didn't know!
I--I just always assumed that she would
End up dead of an overdose somewhere.
And then when tyler was old enough
To start asking about her,
I told him that she died in a car wreck.
I thought it was for the best.
So he wouldn't know that his mother abandoned him.
(tyler) about a month ago
I found my birth certificate.
Learned her name.
And then I tried to find her.
Guess what I found.
That she was never really dead at all.
She lives in maryland.
She's some sort of rehab counselor.
So what, you think if you find her
The two of you are just gonna live
Happily ever after? We're gonna be a family again--
Those cops you killed, they have families too.
They got wives, the got-- [pained grunts]
That would have been in your leg
If I didn't need you to drive.
Let's go.
Okay, we know where tyler's going.
Please tell me you've got something better.
To stop him with than what you're wearing.
Oh, this has nothing to do with the case.
[whispering] I don't trust them here.
I think they're trying to read my thoughts.
Massive dynamic gives me the creeps too.
According to dr. Carson's data,
The pilots that were treated with this drug
Were highly responsive to magnetic fields.
So we are modifying an electromagnetic pulse
To target his brainwaves.
What does that mean?
We're gonna crash his brain.
This device will wipe his brain of all thought.
Uh, for a short period.
He won't be able to think.
He will become severely disoriented.
He may even vomit.
Which, hopefully, will give you
The window you need to take him down.
Okay, let's pack it up. We're leaving.
Good.
Renee davies?
Yes. Can I help you?
Mom...It's me, tyler.
Your son.
Oh, my god.
I found you!
Who's this?
You mind if we go inside?
Of course.
Mom, listen, I don't blame you for leaving, all right?
I blame him. I don't understand--
Dad.
He didn't want me to be with you.
Oh, no, tyler. It wasn't like that.
But it's okay now.
I'm here. We can go.
Go? Go where?
Anywhere. Another country.
Hey, honey, what's going on?
Seth.
We have some guests.
Hi.
Who the hell's this?
It's about time for us to go, tyler--what do you say?
I think I see who's the problem here.
[straining] tyler...
Tyler, what are you doing?
You cover the back, i'll take the front.
(broyles) I need to disable tyler now.
No time to wait for dr. Bishop. I'm going in.
Tyler, it's over!
[electricity crackling]
[grunts]
[gunshot]
We're outta here.
And you're driving.
Sir!
He took peter. Go after them.
Sir, we need to stop the bleeding.
(astrid over radio) agent broyles, dr. Bishop and I are approaching the house.
The bullet went clean through, and I said go!
Yes, sir.
Tyler just took off with peter. Let's go.
[tires screech]
Olivia, is that my car?
It's them.
[tires screech]
If we can disrupt tyler's brainwaves,
How close do we need to be?
No further than 20 feet.
And the effect will only last a few seconds.
[beeping]
Ready.
Okay, do it. Do it now.
[device humming]
(walter) peter? Peter?
Peter, son... Are you with me?
Peter, son...
There you are.
That was quick thinking.
You always prove to be more resourceful
Than I give you credit for.
Is that supposed to be some sort of compliment?
How's tyler?
He was knocked unconscious in the crash.
Probably a concussion.
We gave him a sedative to make sure he stays under.
Agent broyles.
See what happens when you get out from behind the desk?
I've been shot before.
First time by one of the good guys, though.
Lucky for me you're a lousy shot.
The kid wanted to shoot you in the head.
Lucky for you I was able to pull it off-center a bit.
You're gonna hold this over my head
For a long time, aren't you?
Somehow, you'll make it up to me.
Okay, thanks, olivia.
Yeah, I'll tell walter. [beep]
Was I right?
Did tyler lose the power once the drug wore off?
Yeah, you were right. Which is a good thing, I guess.
That means he won't do any time.
Kid goes on a killing spree, and all they're gonna do is
Make him talk it out with a bunch of shrinks.
[pained sigh]
How many do you want?
I'm not hungry.
I don't need any crepes.
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
You were abducted. Of course you need crepes.
I'm okay, walter.
Whenever your mother made them,
You called them "creeps."
Drove her batty.
She was a strong woman, your mother.
"william, I don't know if you've been
"receiving these messages,
"but I continue to hope.
"I wanted to update you on the status
"of the penrose-carson experiments.
"one of the tylers did, in fact, display
"a rather dramatic ability for mind control.
"but before we became aware of his ability,
"there were some unintended consequences.
"among them, he was able to locate records
"of his surrogate mother, and, unfortunately,
"made a misguided attempt to reunite with her.
"in light of this, I am suspending the experiments
"indefinitely.
"you were right-- mind control is possible,
"given the right conditions.
"so despite the unfortunate circumstances,
"we can consider the project a success.
"as always, I hope this finds you in good health.
Warmest regards, nina."
