Fringe Episode 2.06 Earthling Recap

Back to Fringe Episode 2.06 Earthling FRINGE, EPISODE 2.06 EARTHLING RECAP ORIGINAL AIRDATE: 11.5.2009 In Boston, a cell phone rings and man answers from his apartment. It’s his wife…he tells her he’s in an airport lounge waiting to board a flight, but in reality, he’s in their home, preparing to surprise her for their anniversary. He wishes her a happy anniversary and says they just called his flight. She says she’s almost home. The TV turns on with static. The man walks over and turns off the TV. He enters the living room and looks around. A silhouette is behind him. The lights go off down the hall. The man starts to look down the hall. He turns back on the lights and there is nothing there so he walks away. He places a vase of roses on the side table to surprise his wife. The lights turned off in the hallway again. He flips them back on and sees a shadowy, transparent figure in the hallway. The figure comes toward him and he backs up. The wife enters the apartment. She sees the roses and reads the card from her husband. She smiles and walks in. Her husband Randy is sitting on the couch, facing her. She speaks to him, but he’s still. She becomes nervous. She reaches out to touch him and shockingly, he disintegrates into dust and ashes. Agent Broyles is sitting in a restaurant alone. He’s facing a small boy who’s mimicking him. He plays with the boy and gives him a playful smile (What?! Yes, that’s right…Agent Broyles smiled!) Broyles answers his cell phone. The Fringe team is in Randy’s apartment and Walter is examining the body. Walter says it reminds him of Christmas when a log burns so hot that it holds its form, however the chair isn’t burned, so it rules out any type of combustion. Walter wants to transport the “body” back to the lab, so he asks Peter for a Dust Devil or two. Broyles enters the scene and asks if Randy had been in a hospital in the last 24 hours, because he’s seen this phenomenon before. As it turns out, Randy Dancik visited his mother in a hospital the day before. Broyles reveals that several victims were turned to dust like Dancik, about four years ago. By the time the killings ended, five were dead. Each of the victims worked at or recently visited Tyson General Hospital in D.C. After the third death, a man contacted Broyles with details of the murders, and offered to turn himself in if he they could decipher a chemical formula that he gave to Broyles. At that time, nobody could figure it out. In the hospital where Dancik previously visited, a shadowy figure comes up behind a nurse. It turns the corner before it reaches her, and walks down the hall. At this same hospital, Broyles and Olivia are looking through employee records for an Eastern European man who might’ve worked in the DC hospital four years ago. Back at the lab, Walter is playing with Dancik’s ashes in a jar. Walter reaches for a Geiger counter to test the remains. He says that even reduced to this state, there should be some trace amounts of radiation, but there are none. Olivia calls to ask about Walter’s progress. Walter tells Olivia that the formula is a “different matter entirely” and that “she” is a complex chemical puzzle and that he needs to break her into her organic and inorganic parts. Walter notes the presence of “titanium tetrachloride, you sly temptress,” and then begins scribbling away on the chalkboard. Back at the hospital, Olivia is looking through files. She asks why the killer called Broyles and he tells her that the killer was distraught and couldn’t control it. He thought the killer wanted it to end but he couldn’t stop it. Another nurse is in the hospital working on a computer. The patient behind her is lying in a bed. She takes out a syringe. The shadowy figure walks away from the body, and the body disintegrates from a fly’s touch. Another FBI finds the name of an employee who was at both hospitals -- Tomas Koslov. Broyles and Olivia raid his apartment but find nothing. In the apartment, Olivia and Peter are looking at some wiring remnants, soldering remains, etc. Broyles can’t find any info on this man. They do, however, find fingerprints. Back in Broyles office, he’s listening to the phone recordings of the killer from before. The man demands that they solve the formula. He receives a call from a Senator. Broyles and the Senator meet in person in a park. He tells him that the suspect is in the middle of an investigation led by the Russians and he’s wanted by the CIA and the Russian government. He supposedly took some property belonging to the Russian federation, and now they want Broyles to cease investigating. Koslov is removing a car battery from the back of a van and brings it into a motel room where he has a number of them on a table. He also has other equipment set up in the room. The equipment has Russian writing. Olivia is looking at video footage before the last incident. They spot a shadow, but discover there is no face. The entire crew is reviewing the video tape at the lab. Walter suggests that the shadow is from another world, and that this might be from Russian Fringe science. At the FBI, Broyles opens a file from the Senator with information on Koslov. The file says that Koslov abducted his brother a Russian cosmonaut from the secret facility where he’s been in a coma from his return from space. In the lab, Walter explains it’s not the radiation that’s killing the victim, it’s the radiation that the entity is after. All of the victims were undergoing radiation treatments or had been exposed to it at some point. At the hospital, the lights turn off. A shadow passes behind a nurse, she’s startled and then she turns around and sees Koslov. He tells her he wishes he hadn’t seen her. The team enters the ward and sees a nurse’s shoe on the ground. They see a bed with the nurse in it. Koslov has taken his brother and left the nurse instead. Koslov drives away with his brother. At the lab, Walter theorizes that the cosmonaut might have brought something back from space with him, like seeing a shadow that never really leaves the cosmonaut’s body. Broyles wants to know if we can gell Koslov that the’ve solved the formula. Walter believes he can “dominate her.” In Koslov’s motel room he’s working on his brother listening to phone messages. Broyles says he has information about the formula they spoke about 4 years ago. He straps his brother down and connects him to the car batteries telling him this is the only way they can stop the shadow. He turns the battery on and the shadow is emerging from the body. It dissipates. He turns it off, but the shadow comes back. He uses stronger current but is conflicted at hurting his brother. His brother flat lines. A heart beat comes back and Koslov is relieved. Walter says he’s been thinking too linearly. In the apartment, he digs out his tinker toys. Astrid is in the lab and sets up a phone trace. Olivia and Broyles talk and she asks him “why this one? Why is this case so important to you?” Broyles tells her that four years ago, Fringe division had fallen out of favor, but at a certain point he just wanted to make the world a safer place. He became obsessed for the case and for his wife it was the straw that broke the camel’s back and it ended their marriage. He took the job to make a safer place for his family, but instead he lost them. Walter and Peter are building a huge structure with Tinker Toys, representing the formula. As Walter examines it, he and Peter separate the structure into two. “Oh no,” Walter says. Back at the motel, Koslov tells his brother he’s tired of running too. Broyles answers the phone in the lab. Koslov tells him he say him at the hospital and asks if he’s solved it this time. Olivia in the meantime asks Walter if he’s solved it. He says yes, but it’s bad news. He thinks the Russian tried to remove the organism fromt eh cosmonaut, but you can’t separate the organism from the cosmonaut without killing both of them. Broyles tells him he may be able to help but they need to see his brother. He tells Broyles he’s not going to hurt anybody else, he’s managed to keep it at bay. The fan turns in the motel room and Koslov disintegrates. The shadow is seen leaving the motel room. In the lab, the trace is successful. The team shows up at the motel room. They see the van door open and think that he’s moving his brother, who is inside the van. They enter the motel room and find Koslov half disintegrated. Walter examines the brother and checks the Geiger counter. There’s no radiation so the shadow isn’t here right now. A little girl watches TV, which goes to static. She senses something in the closet. Walter is fiddling with machinery. A little girl screams. Broyles shoots the brother in the head. The girl is still on the bed, still. She tells her mom there was a man, a shadow man who disappeared. Broyles knocks on the door of his ex-wife. He wants to tell her that he closed that case, the one four years ago. “Hmmm,” she says, “I’m happy for you. I mean that.” As he walks to his car, a man says, Agent Broyles, you’ve got a real friend in the Senator. When the CIA says Cease and desist we really mean it. He urges Broyles to not generate a report. He asks what they did with the cosmonaut. The man tells him they had no choice once he started breathing again. He then looks up to the stars.
