Fringe

Previously on fringe

They're calling these events "the pattern,"

As if someone out there is experimenting.

Only the whole world is their lab.

Anybody you need, you can have.

His name's walter bishop.

You're saying I can talk to john?

You could access his memories.

You fall in love with your partner,

Who betrays you... he dies in your arms.

I saw him last night. hello, liv.

I grabbed my gun, but he was gone.

When you were in the tank, part of his consciousness

Crossed over into yours.

Sorry.

I've been calling your cell.

The west side highway was a parking lot.

Did they start?

Charlotte's been tap dancing for the last 20 minutes.

Wait, wait...the tie.

Oh. thank you.

Don't forget this. thanks.

Breathe.

And extenzalife's market has remained remarkably stable.

Especially given wall street's recent financial difficulties.

But let me turn things over to the man you've come to hear.

Mark.

Sorry. I'm late.

Thank you for your patience.

It's quickly fading.

Right. so let's get started.

Okay, as you can see from figure six,

The three-year rate of return on extenzalife products...

Well, Mr. young, a rocky start.

But I'll be letting the board know we're in good hands.

Thank you.

Bastard.

Son of a...

Lauren and Craig will be here.

Remember Craig? he's from south africa.

Yeah, I remember him.

Are you sure Bobby's gonna be okay with it?

You know, Beth, not everybody likes a surprise.

Oh, please, the man loves being the center of attention.

Do you know how many times he told me

The he didn't want a party for his birthday?

Anyway, I'm glad you're coming.

It's been ages since...

...had a chance to really talk.

Yeah, can you hold on one sec?

I've got another call.

Hello?

I need you to pick up the others

And get to Marlboro airport.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you something.

You're gonna think I'm joking, but I'm not.

I quit.

Only just for the next couple of days,

And I'm happy to rejoin the others after the weekend

Runway 14. the plane will be waiting.

So where are we going?

Multinational corporation. specializing in secret biological research.

Defense department's largest contractor.

Massive dynamic.

Seems like such an innocent name

For a corporation, don't you think?

Hmm. that's odd. what?

The lacerations on the body.

These, no doubt, were caused by shards of glass.

But these under the shirt...

If they were caused by the glass,

How come the shirt's not torn?

A fall of such height

Would cause compound fractures,

Massive internal bleeding,

All in evidence in this poor chap,

I'm sorry to say.

But wounds this delicate are most unlikely.

So what do you think caused 'em?

Too early to tell.

It's a shame I don't have a lab,

I'd like to examine him.

You do have a lab, Walter. your lab at Harvard.

Yes, I do, don't i?

Mark Young was a capable executive

Who displayed no signs of emotional dysfunction.

He was one of our more promising analysts, in fact.

Popular among his co-workers.

Then why do you think he would jump to his death?

I don't want to sound callous, agent Dunham,

But when you run a company of over 300,000 employees,

You sometimes see a small percentage

Who succumb to the stress of their responsibilities...

And on occasion, the nature of our work.

What do you mean by that,

"the nature of our work"?

I was simply referring to the pressure

To deliver results,

Which the private sector seems to require.

You would find it exhilarating.

Are you trying to change the subject

By offering me another job?

Well, I'd hate to sound like a suitor

Who is constantly being turned down for a date.

Just to be clear, as flattered as I am,

I'm going to go wherever this investigation takes me.

I would expect nothing less.

And I would expect more from you

Than the polite appearance of cooperation.

You knew this man.

He was a rising star in your company.

There must be something mo you can tell me about him.

When one's domain includes the cutting edge of science,

There is a risk of exposure to...

Ideas that aren't easy to reconcile.

Certain realities.

I'm sure you know what I mean,

Doing the work that you do.

For some, it's too much to take.

Do you ever wonder how we survived as a species

Without drugs?

The hard drive is password protected.

Once we break the encryption, we'll send you his data.

Okay. thank you.

Well, he wasn't planning on killing himself

Three days ago.

He just booked a plane ticket. to where?

Omaha, on the 22nd of december.

Christmas in nebraska.

Sounds depressing.

Yeah, well, maybe he's got family there.

Did you find something?

No.

Seems my suspicions were correct.

These wounds go all the way down

To the bone itself.

As if they originated on the inside

And pierced their way up through the body tissue.

How did that happen?

That is an excellent question.

Peter, do you know what I've been remembering?

Aspects of your childhood.

That's charming, walter. blood samples are ready.

Anything in there that explains those lacerations?

No, I don't believe so.

Typical medications.

All of them surprisingly legal.

So they wouldn't have harmed him?

That is correct.

Although they could have been used as a carrier

To transfer the foreign compound to the victim's brain.

What foreign compound?

Oh, didn't I mention? a synthetic in the blood.

An ergoline derivative.

Perhaps he was treated for migraines.

But it does not explain what caused these wounds.

Coffee yogurt.

The synthetic compound?

Peter.

When he was 13,

All he would eat was coffee yogurt.

Almost drove his mother to tears.

Walter, that wasn't me. that was you.

Hello?

If that's agent dunham,

Tell her to bring some coffee yogurt.

Can you hold on for one second?

He's right. about the yogurt.

In case you haven't noticed, I can be quite obsessive.

Really?

Hey, you still there?

Yeah. I'm sorry.

I just...i just didn't realize what it would do,

You know, hearing your voice.

Listen...

No, listen, don't bother making up a story, peter.

I know you're back.

I need to see you.

Peter?

I can't get away right now.

Well, then, when?

Hey, liv, what do you know about a bunch of frogs?

I just got a p.o. request from agent farnsworth

Asking to send a terrarium

And ten pounds of live insect larvae,

And charge it off to the mark young case.

There something you want to talk to me about?

I had some frogs transferred to the lab as evidence.

These frogs, you think they had something to do

With why the guy jumped out of the window?

Probably not.

Okay.

Charlie.

Yeah?

Come with me.

You know after john died,

You told me that I should maybe take some time off?

You said that what happened with him

Was going to affect me in ways

That I couldn't even anticipate.
