"Says the guy that lives here mentioned a potential incident about the bus before it happened." "So, what do we know about him?" "Name's Roy McComb, high school graduate, no criminal record." "He's been pushing papers at an escrow company for the last couple of months." "I got BPD picking him up from there right now." "Doesn't seem like the profile of a mass murderer." "No." "I didn't think so either." "What?" "CHARLIE:" "You're looking at depictions of dozens of attacks accidents, disasters we've seen over the last year." "And look, all of them are dated before the incidents took place." "Is that the flight from Hamburg?" "PETER:" "So this guy drew Flight 627 the Angel suicides in Baltimore and the Birmingham Bridge collapse?" "Clearly the man is disturbed." "But do you really think he could be involved in all this?" "No, I don't." "But that doesn't make me any less interested to know where he got his information." "Several of those incidents have never been made public." "Based on the evidence, every one of them was either drawn or constructed before the event depicted." "Mr. McComb, I'm Special Agent Charlie Francis of the FBI." "You're not officially being charged with anything right now." "I'd like to ask you a few questions." "Is that okay?" "Um, yeah, okay." "Sure." "Uh..." " Call me Roy." " Okay, Roy." "Start with this drawing of yours." "OLIVIA:" "Fourteen different chemical compounds were used in the incident on the bus." "Three of them manufactured exclusively by your subsidiaries." "You've done your homework." "We supply them to a dozen labs around the world." "It could've been stolen from any of them." "I'll need a list of those labs, then." "Of course." "Anything you need." "Thank you." "So is there anything else?" "When we first met you said that science and technology had advanced to such a state that..." "Your words." "...they were "running out of control."" "That sounds about right." "Well, so far, all the science and technology that I've come across has been very tightly controlled by Massive Dynamic." "Every case I investigate has a tie back to this company." "Well, I think maybe you have it backwards." "Massive Dynamic is, well, so massive that just about everything in the world of science and technology has a tie back to us." "Of course, I could say something of the same to you, couldn't I?" "You've been investigating these cases for a short while." "At least three of them have occurred right in your own backyard." "I might suspect that you, yourself, were somehow responsible." "(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)" "I hope it will help you find whoever's behind these attacks." "Attacks?" "Apparently, Broyles hasn't told you." "Yes." "The technology was used once before, in Prague." "Although there were fewer casualties." "Then, I suppose if you had access to the case files you'd know that we'd already shared all the information we have with the government." "Thank you for the information." "CHARLIE:" "What about this one?" "This one gonna happen too, Roy?" "Ahem, look I know that this sounds crazy..." "In fact, I think I am crazy." "...But I can be anywhere, at home or at work and, uh, just all of a sudden, I get this..." "I don't know how to describe it." "This feeling." "And the only way that I can get it out get rid of it, is to try to draw what I see." "Or to try to build it." "Sometimes that works." "How long have you been getting these feelings?" "Maybe nine months." "Nine months." "Roy's feelings, or whatever they are began roughly when we became aware of the Pattern." " Meaning what?" " I'm not entirely sure yet but it's hard to say he's lying." "PETER:" "He's not." "I'd like to consider myself a fairly good poker player." "Which requires me to have the ability to read my opponent's tells." "Know when he's bluffing." "He's not bluffing." "Regardless of what the actual explanation is he believes that what he's saying is the truth." "What do you suggest?" " How has he learned of these incidents?" " I don't know." " Hey, I just saw Charlie." "He told me..." "WALTER:" "Ockham's razor." "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best." " And what is that?" " The man's psychic." "Theoretically, it's all quite possible." "So you're saying Roy can read people's minds." "I posit that Roy has no control over his abilities that he's linked psychically with someone or less likely, but still possible a small group of people responsible for these events." "Equally possible, someone who is merely discussing them." "Perhaps he's communicating with you, Agent Broyles." "Forgive me, Dr. Bishop I like to think I have an open mind, but I have a hard time accepting that that man is hearing another person's thoughts." "Yes, so do I, which is why I would like to prove it." " And here we go." " And how would you do that?" "Am I required to keep him alive?" "That would probably be best." "Can we, uh, talk a moment?" " Go ahead." " Nina Sharp just told me this isn't the first time that material from the bus has been used." "I'd be skeptical of anything coming from Nina, but in this case she's correct." "So, what?" "I don't have clearance to know background on a case I'm investigating?" "Agent Dunham, if I'm not always completely transparent with you there's a reason." "This little task force you and I call our day job now it sometimes requires some, shall we say, bureaucratic maneuvering to keep it alive and free from meddling." "Which means sometimes I don't tell you everything, for your own protection." "With all due respect, that's not good enough." "Now, I've been trained for a lot:" "hostage crises, terror campaigns suicide bombers, chemical attacks but the things I've seen since I started working for you..." "If I'm gonna do this job, I need to know what it is I'm dealing with." "And you will." "When you're ready." "Till then, I suppose you'll need to trust me." "So, what are we looking for?" "If my hypothesis is correct if he is picking up the thoughts of another human being it will leave a distinct signature." "PETER:" "And you think we'll be able to identify whose thoughts they are?" "That's preposterous." "But I may be able to intercept them." "Magnificent machine." "You mind if we view the axial images?" "His vitals are spiking." "(GROANING)" "PETER:" "What's happening?" " No idea." "But I'm extremely interested to find out." "Something's wrong!" "Shut it down now!" " Get up." "Are you okay?" " I don't know." " I think so." "What did that?" " Something in the blood." "A magnetic compound of some kind, dormant, perhaps a parasite." "What...?" "I don't understand." "The machine is a magnet, and you've got metal in your blood." "If we hadn't turned it off..." " ...it would've ripped your body apart." " Quite a mess." "Why would there be metal in his blood?" "That's not normal, right?" "You wanna see everything from 1989." " Uh, hmm, no." "Perhaps '79." " Fantastic." "That's very helpful." "WALTER:" "Oh, stop." "(CHUCKLES)" "I was right." "Belly and I worked on this very problem." " Belly?" " Yeah, as in William Bell." "Founder of Massive Dynamic, one of the richest men on the planet." "He and Walter used to share a lab together." "Loved cloves." "Awful odor." "We posited a spectrum of waves lying outside the range of those already discovered." "We hypothesized that these waves could be used to communicate information." "The government, of course, was extremely interested." "It was a brilliant idea." "A theory, but a good one." "They wanted to use the network to send their most clandestine information." "If no other government knew the spectrum existed..." " ...they couldn't listen in." " Yes." "And they called it "The Ghost Network."" "But they asked us to take it one step further:" "To develop a method where they could transmit directly from one person to another." "I surmised that I could introduce an iridium-based organometallic compound into the subject's brain." "You have got to be kidding me." "What?" "Roy McComb was one of your test subjects." "Of course, yes." "That explains it, doesn't it?" "Explains it?" "Yes, that explains why he almost died today because you injected something into his brain 20 years ago." "No." "What I gave him was not nearly enough to cause that reaction." "The compound must have multiplied in his bloodstream over time." "Environment, perhaps diet." "He was a sophomore volunteering for psych experiments." "Did you bother to explain to him what you were doing?" "Well, it wouldn't have been a very secret experiment if I had." "What's going on?" " How's Roy McComb?" " He's fine." "No thanks to my father's attempts to turn him into a human walkie-talkie." " Wait a second." " Don't try and change the subject!" "What you just said is on subject." "The iridium-based compound that multiplied in his bloodstream has turned him into some kind of receiver." " A receiver of what?" " Transmissions." "Someone else, it seems..." "And I'm somewhat jealous of this." "...Has perfected our Ghost Network and is using it to communicate." "Our dear Roy is merely overhearing what they say." "You'll note that the rotary movement gives the impression of a 3-D tunnel when, in fact, it is not." "Next slide, please." "That's an oldie but a goodie." "As you observe this image, your brain perceives first a duck a rabbit, a duck again." "It always comes back to the duck." "In truth, the image is neither." "But it illustrates the brain's need to take random sensory input..." " ...and construct it into a meaningful..." " Great." " Thank you, we get it." " Uh, I'm sorry, I don't think I do get it." "Well, neither do I. I just want him to stop." " I'll get the lights." "WALTER:" "I suspect someone has continued my research." "But they've taken the easy way out merely using the Ghost Network as a secure telecommunications channel." "You're suggesting Roy's listening to someone's telephone network." "Yes." "But, no, not listening." "Roy's brain is trying to interpret the sensory input much as our brains grapple with the duck-rabbit." "I told you, it always comes back to the duck." "So, if Roy's receiving this frequency is there any way we can tap in and hear them?" "Or maybe even ID them?" "Construct a receiver using that spectrum, it's possible, of course but it would take months." "But it may be possible to redirect the transmissions from his visual centers to his auditory cortex." "Wait, you wanna rewire his brain?" "Not without his permission." "It would be a minor surgery." "Minor brain surgery, emphasis not on the "minor."" "I would need a specific piece of equipment:" "A magnetic neurostimulator I built in 1983." "With a few adjustments, it would work." "We'll just go back in time and get it for you." "No need to." "It's most likely where I left it 17 years ago:" "Hidden in a wall in our old house in Cambridge." "PETER:" "Blast from the past." "What's the game plan here?" "We're just gonna knock..." " ...ask if we can tear out their walls?" " Pretty much." "I guess the badge is the "pretty please" in that equation." "There's no lights on." "I'm gonna call in, see if we can track down the owner for consent." "What are you doing?" "What?" "This is barely even a crime." "I used to live here." "Normal pupil response." "Taking any medications, prescribed or illicit?" "You can be truthful, I won't judge." "In fact, if the answer is no, I may encourage some drug use." "No, none." "Ahem." " Any food allergies?" " Not that I'm aware of." "Good, good, good." "This all checks out." "Strap him down, I'll get started." "God." "Strap me down?" "There's nothing to be worried about." "I guess, uh, I must seem pretty silly thinking God was talking to me and everything." "ASTRID:" "What were you supposed to think?" "That I was just crazy." "I considered that too." "It's gotta be sort of a relief, right?" "Knowing there's a rational explanation?" "I wouldn't exactly call any of this rational." "Do you really think that this is going to help you catch the guys that killed those people on the bus?" "You're our best lead." "No pressure, huh?" "(BUZZING)" "Lived here when I was a kid, but after Walter was institutionalized my mom couldn't afford the mortgage so we moved to Allston." "OLIVIA:" "So where's your mother now?" "That's a story for another time." "So tell me, of all the possible career choices how did a girl like you end up in law enforcement?" "I pretty much knew this is what I wanted to do by the time I was 9." "When I was 9 years old, I think I wanted to be a brontosaurus." "You know, they say the psych profiles of cops and criminals are pretty much identical." "Ever consider a life of crime?" "No dental." "Nothing." "Of course." " Huh..." " What?" "My mom had this covered up." "I used to hide in it all the time." "WALTER:" "You'll need to be awake for the procedure but I'm going to give you a mild sedative to reduce any anxiety." "Dr. Bishop you look really familiar to me." "Hmm." "I hear that a lot." "In the mental institution where I lived..." "He'll need a moment." "Oh!" "You've returned." "How was the old house?" "How was Rufus?" "The house is just like we left it." "But we put Rufus to sleep almost 20 years ago, Walter." "Oh." "That's terrible news." "We found your equipment." "This brings back some memories." "Of what?" "I think it's time for some intracranial penetration." "This won't hurt just feel a touch odd." "Okay." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "Is this Poli Sci 101?" "Not remotely." " Who was it?" " Freshmen." "(DRILL BUZZING)" "I need you to keep this dial steady at 60 hertz, 10 gauss until I tell you otherwise." "I believe there are clusters of metal in the visual centers of your brain." "I'm going to attempt to move them to those regions which process sound." "You'll be shown a series of images." "I need you to tell me any sensations you experience as you see each image." " Sounds easy enough." "WALTER:" "First image, please." " It's a horse." " Wonderful." "Fifty gauss." "(EQUIPMENT HUMMING AND ROY GRUNTING)" "What the hell was that?" "That was your body's normal muscle responses." "Perfectly natural." "You may also experience an involuntary bowel movement." "Great."

"We're getting close." " Next image, please." "ROY:" "I don't know." "Heh." "It's a beach." " Well, no sensations at all?" " I don't think so." " Well, damn it, don't you feel anything?" " I'm a little scared." "I don't understand." "This should be working." "Walter, take a deep breath." "It's gonna be okay." " You, increase the level to 200 gauss." " Don't do that." "Stop, I said." "(SPEAKING IN LATIN)" " What did you say?" " I don't know." "I can hear voices." "(ROY SPEAKING IN LATIN)" " I think that's Latin." " It is." "He just said, um..." "Damn, what's that word?" "" Hour."

"Um, "it was on her from the start," maybe, or..." " She had it on her the whole time." " Oh, yeah, that's a possible translation." "Hey, where you going?" "I've been asked to officially ID her body." "There was a 3-inch incision in Evelina's right palm." "Whatever she had, Davidson cut it out." "(OVER PHONE) She was hiding it in her hand." "I'm heading to South Station." "He's planning a hand-off at 5." "Davidson's working for the people who hit the bus." "I'll notify Cl." "In the meantime, I'm sending field assist your way." "Plainclothes only." "We don't wanna tip him off." "WALTER:" "Oh, my God." " What's wrong?" "I believe, with proper demodulation, you could receive satellite television for free."

" ...we know nothing about." " Do you ever smile, Dunham?" "We ID'd the shooter." "Matthew Ziegler." "When we ran his fingerprints he popped up on two other Pattern-related cases." "We're digging into his financials, travel records." "Linkage, Dunham." "Not only can we now put a face to these people but we know they're communicating, and how." "I'd say that's an impressive day's work." "Which brings me to this." " What is it?" " Of all the models in Roy's apartment three are incidents we haven't been aware of." " Pattern cases?" " It would seem so." "Take a look, if you want." "Let me know if you have any thoughts." " I'll do that." " I'll see you tomorrow." "(PLAYING NOTES ON PIANO)" "ROY:" "Yeah, I mean, he was pretty clear." " How are you feeling?" " My head hurts a little but, um, Dr. Bishop gave me something for the pain." "Vicodin."
