Previously on Siren.

It's Mom.

She in the emergency room.

Ryn help Ben's mother.

Stem cells from a deepwater marine creature.

Imagine what your father's going to say.

That's my mother.

Yes. A long time ago, she was part of the group.

What happened to your folks wasn't right.

I'll never forget it.

Was sleeping with me part of the job?

I'm here because I care about you.

Oh. Then you look me in the eye

and you tell me that you're here just to check on me.

You're not just a little bit curious about where they went?

- Ryn! - Raah!

Ryn!

Aaaah!

Ryn!

Ryn!

Ryn!

Ryn!

Ryn!

Ryn!

Ryn, where are you?!

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

She could be anywhere.

We can't stop, Maddie.

The area's too big.

How are we going to find her?

We need help.

From who?

Nicole.

You really think we can trust her?

We don't have a choice, Maddie.

She's out here, and she's dangerous,

and we need to find her now.

You got everything you wanted.

Two of my best friends eating out the palm of your hands.

Willing test subject for, I don't know,

whatever the hell your people are doing.

That's not everything I wanted.

Look, I don't expect you to forgive me.

I mean, how could you?

You don't even know me.

Look, I got to get this place ready for business, so...

My older brother was deployed two years ago.

Iraq.

I enlisted right after him.

Grew up in a military family,

so it was kind of the thing to do.

Yeah, family business, I get it.

First week there, his convoy was hit by an IED.

He survived,

but with lots of damage.

Wow.

I'm sorry.

I didn't see any action, but I had to do something.

I heard about this military program.

Supposed to help wounded soldiers walk again.

They said it involved the use of "exotic" stem cells.

Yeah, that must have been a weird day

when you found out what that meant.

I volunteered to help in any way that I could.

I was low level at first,

until the program's leader...

guy named Aldon Decker... killed himself.

Yeah, I met him.

Military asked me to go undercover in Bristol Cove.

If I could help figure out why Decker died,

they'd be able to continue his work.

I never wanted to hurt anyone.

Well, duty calls, I guess.

Hey.

We did this to her.

The stem cell extraction,

it caused Ryn to have some kind of reaction.

Her cortisol levels spiked.

Maybe some kind of defensive response.

Back someone in a corner, they're gonna react.

You should've told me sooner.

We thought we had it under control.

Clearly, you didn't.

I have to alert my C.O.

You should think about that.

What's to think about?

She's dangerous and on the loose.

She ran into the woods.

We can all find her and bring her back.

And do it without all of us, including you,

having to get burned.

How do you think your superiors

are gonna react to you letting this get out of hand?

My only mistake was putting Ryn back in your care.

It doesn't matter whose fault it is.

We need to find Ryn.

It's why we called you.

Got the satellite link,

just have to set the target area.

You're not gonna, like, nuke Bristol Cove from orbit are you?

It's thermal imaging.

Should help us pinpoint exactly where Ryn is.

Yeah, but how do you know it's her and not some rando campers?

Ryn's core body temp is different than ours.

Ninety-two degrees.

If that's her, she's moving fast.

Ryn!

Where are you?!

Well, so much for a quiet morning.

Dad, it's a person.

Rifle down, now.

Are you okay?!

You could get yourself killed out here!

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Easy, easy.

Careful, buddy. There's a girl out here.

I don't know what she's on,

but she's gonna get herself hurt.

Did you see where she went?

If you're smart, you'll get out of here.

What the hell, man!

Where is she?!

She didn't come this way.

Maddie.

- Come on. - Come on.

Ryn.

Ryn, it's Maddie.

Do you understand what's happening?

Ryn!

Ryn, please.

Please.

No, no, no, no, no!

Maddie, Maddie, Maddie! No, no, no!

No, no, no, no!

Look at me. You okay?

Ryn?

Can you hear me?

Ben?

What did I do?

You're sure you're all right?

I mean, no accelerated heart rate? Anxiety?

I mean, a little shaky, but other than that, I feel fine.

You don't remember anything, Ryn?

I remember, but could not stop.

It's okay. It's not your fault.

Not okay. This is not Ryn.

Something change me.

Know I do bad thing, but do it anyway.

How do you feel now?

Okay, now.

When I sing, I feel better.

Ryn told us before that the song does something for her, too.

Whatever it releases,

it seems like it's strong enough

to reduce the built-up adrenaline at a rapid rate.

Might be a good idea to keep the needles away from her for a while.

Yeah, right.

But what about you, Maddie?

What do you mean?

I don't know. How about the fact

that Ryn just did her thing to you?

You're acting like it's nothing.

Hey, we're working through it, Xan.

Says the guy who's had this song stuck in his head

for, what, the last couple months?

Look, can we just...

just fact check, yeah, for, like, a second?

So the three of you are working with the military

to get some genetic goo out of Ryn

and inject it into Ben's mom,

and because of all this, Ryn just went "beast mode."

I mean, I'm sorry,

but y'all need to get your damn heads checked!

That's just one guy's opinion, so...

He's not wrong.

About checking our heads.

Maybe it's time we considered it.

Decker's brain scans, the ones you showed me.

Can we do the same for us?

Yeah. Just got to get you back to the lab.

If we know exactly how the song's affecting us...

Maybe we can do something about it.

You should've discussed it with me.

Instead you go injecting yourself with another experimental treatment.

I mean, I know you want to get better, but...

I think it did make me better.

Those awful side effects

from the previous treatment are gone.

Even the nerve pain that I used to have is a little better.

I'm not going to be running marathons anytime soon, but it's a start.

You should've at least stayed in the hospital

so they could monitor you.

You know the chances of infection are higher there.

They said that I could recuperate at home.

I just... It got really, really close there

in the hospital for a few minutes.

I thought was gonna lose you.

But things are finally turning around.

And we have our son to thank for that.

What do you mean?

Ben is the one who found the new treatment.
