[Ryn]
Previously on Siren.

It's Mom.

She in the emergency room.

[moaning]

Ryn help Ben's mother.

Stem cells from
a deepwater marine creature.

[laughs] Imagine what
your father's going to say.

[Helen]
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.

[Xander] 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?

[banging]

-[Ben] Ryn!
-Raah!

Ryn!

Aaaah!

[Ben] Ryn!

[Maddie] Ryn!

[panting]

Ryn!

[Maddie] Ryn!

Ryn!

[ominous music playing]

[high-pitched call]

Ryn!

Ryn, where are you?!

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

[rustling]

[flapping]

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 gotta 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.

[cell phone buzzing]

Well, duty calls, I guess.

[buzzing]

[beeps]

Hey.

[Ben]
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.

[beeping]

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

[panting]

Ryn!

[Maddie]
Where are you?!

Well, so much
for a quiet morning.

[hisses]

-[sniffing]
-[twig snaps]

-[animal grunts]
-[hisses]

[soft hiss]

[gunshot]

[panting]

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.

[intense music playing]

What the hell, man!

Where is she?!

She didn't come this way.

Maddie.

-Come on.
-Come on.

[hisses]

Ryn.

[hisses]

Ryn, it's Maddie.

Do you understand
what's happening?

[hisses]

Ryn!

Ryn, please.

Please.

[singing ethereal Siren song]

♪ ♪

[song intensifies]

No, no, no, no, no!

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

[song stops abruptly]

No, no, no, no!

Look at me.
You okay?

Ryn?

Can you hear me?

Ben?

What did I do?

[sweeping]

[Ben] 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.

[Ben] 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."

[laughs]
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 gotta 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.

He even had a specialized
military doctor
to administer it.

These guys are
the best of the best.

So you've both been
keeping this from me.

Don't blame him.

His intention was to help me,
not to deceive you.

With everything
that's been going on.

Now is the perfect time
to put it to rest.

[dialing]

-[line ringing]
-[frustrated sigh]

Are you sure you're up
for entertaining right now, Mom?

Every day feels better
than the last.

I'll see what we can do,

but the timing right now is--

[Elaine]
Everything, Ben.

If I've learned anything,

it's that time is not something
I can take for granted anymore.

All of us could use
a fresh start.

That's easier said
than done.

Nonsense.

Tomorrow night, 7 PM.

Nothing fancy.

You can come
with Maddie, and

I want you to bring
that girl from the hospital,

the one who helped me.
I need to thank her.

Mom, uh...

Ben. Please.

Okay.

[beeps]

[MRI machine humming]

[humming stops]

[table clicks and whirs]

You okay?

Yeah, fine.

How's your mom?

Uh, she wants us to go
to dinner tomorrow night.

She wants me
to bring Ryn, too.

Ben's mother is better?

Must be, if she's feeling
good enough to see people.

Look, Ryn and I have to go,

but if you don't
feel up to it--

It's fine.

You sure?

Wouldn't want to upset her,

not in her condition, right?

Yeah.

How soon until
we see the results?

Doctor says
tomorrow morning.

[Nicole] Your turn.

Have to look
at Ben's brain now.

[clicks, whirring]

[MRI machine humming]

[movie projector clicking]

[knock on door]

Helen?

Oh.

-[Helen] Hi. [laughs]
-[Maddie] Is everything
all right?

Your message said you needed
to talk to us right away.

Yes. Thank you
for coming over so quickly.

Like TV, but not.

Uh, this is called film.

Those are my parents.

These are the only images
I have of them together.

That bun in the oven,
that's me.

My father died a few weeks
before I was born.

How did Helen's father die?

Brain aneurysm.

At least that's what
I was lead to believe.

What do you mean?

That's why I asked you
to come over.

We have a lot
to catch up on.

We couldn't agree more.

There are more people
like Helen?

More family?

Much more, but...

You think
they're dangerous?

[Helen]
I can't be sure.

The old man told me
that what happened
to my parents wasn't right.

I just wish I knew
what wasn't right about it.

What do you think they want?

As far as I can tell,
to know that
their secret is safe.

To protect themselves
from the outside world.

Secrecy hasn't been
a problem for us.

Assuming you can trust
your military friends.

If it wasn't
for their help,

Ryn might not be
sitting here right now.

I'm better now.

And just in time
for dinner tomorrow night.

She invited you, too?

Thanks for the tea.

Mm, all right.

[Ben]
Good night, Helen.

[somber music playing]

I can't believe it's real.

All those myths
about the song.

That it could do something
like this to the human brain.

Amazing.

Which one's which?

Decker's, yours,
and mine.

Decker's very dark.

Yes. Lesions of some sort.

Maddie's not so dark.

[Maddie]
Because it just happened,

and you just sang to me.

But there is
something there.

The damage to yours
seems to be somewhere

between hers
and Aldon Decker's.

Let's hope
it stays that way.

I do this to Ben and Maddie?

Make heads dark?

No. Well,
not intentionally.

The question is,
why is it doing that?

When Ben has struggled
with it,

he seems
to become more obsessive.

It seems to tap
into the prefrontal cortex,

which controls reason
and emotion.

Another way of saying
"impulse control."

That means how we choose
to act, good or bad.

Song makes you do things
you don't want to.

Like Ryn.

Not exactly.

I think in our case,
it might make us
do things we want to do,

but usually stop
ourselves from doing.

[Maddie] Just because it
makes you more obsessive

doesn't mean
it'll do the same to me.

If it does
anything at all.

[Ben]
Right. Like alcohol.

Drinking affects
everyone differently.

If we could record
the song itself,

we could look
into its effects.

I do this before.

Sing for recording.
For Ben and Maddie.

We've been
wanting to analyze it,

but not had the means.

Maybe it's the only way.

See if it's a bell
that can be un-rung.

[cell phone ringing]

Hey, Mom?
It's not a really good time.

Dad can't help?

All right.
I'll be right over.

I gotta get
over to my mom's.

She needs help,
doesn't want
to bother my dad.

I'll come with you.

No, you keep working.

I'll see you tonight.

Maddie?

Call me if anything...

You'll be
the first to know.

♪ Tell me where to hide ♪

[Ben sighs]

[keyboard clicks]

Incredible.

This is my song?

Yeah.
Broken down into pieces.

[fragment of Siren song plays]

Song is broken?

No, no, no.
The-- The pieces are,

mixed together
to make one sound.

One song.

[lower fragment playing]

[higher fragment playing]

One song composed of hundreds
of frequencies and layers.

This many layered frequencies
from one voice.

How is that possible?

All different levels,
polyphonics, amplitudes.

I've never seen
anything like it,

not even from whales
or dolphins.

[Nicole] Now that
we've isolated them,

we need to test them
individually.

Yeah, on it.

[fragments playing]

I could listen
in real time,

while you monitor each one.

What? Is that safe?

Ben is sure?

If we want answers,
we have to try.

-[light buzzing]
-Must be the circuit breaker.

I'm sorry, Maddie.

-I wouldn't have asked you--
-It's okay.

It's, uh, right here.

So... how are things?

[breaker clicks]

Not good.

I think all this wiring
might be shot.

No. I meant how are you?

How's Ben?
How's your other friend Ryn?

We're fine, Mom.

You don't have to keep me
in the dark, Maddie.

I'm not that old-fashioned.

People have all kinds
of relationships these days.

I just want to make sure
that yours is healthy.

That looks dangerous.

Not worth you getting hurt.
I'll call the electrician.

Maddie, just leave it.

No! I can fix it!

What a piece of crap.

-Maddie, just--
-Leave me alone!

Aah!

What's gotten into you?

Something's wrong.

Talk to me.

I have to go.

[screwdriver clatters]

Maddie!

Ben and Maddie
are very close to you.

Very protective of you.

Does your song have
anything to do with that?

Not just song.

With Ben and Maddie,
it is more.

More?

Yes. Ryn loves
Ben and Maddie.

Ryn makes love
with Ben and Maddie.

[over headphones]
Ready?

Yeah. Let's do this.

Here we go.

The song in full.

All frequencies.

[Siren song playing]

[monitors beeping]

My song does this?

[Siren song continuing]

Whoa.

[song continuing]

I'm going to play
the frequencies
I was able to isolate.

See how they affect you.

[beeping]

[varying pitches playing]

[Dawson] Incredible.

[Nicole] What?

Most humans can hear
frequencies between
20 hertz and 20,000.

Sea creatures,
like some dolphins,

can hear frequencies
up to 100,000 hertz,

while some whales can
hear infrasonic sounds
as low as seven hertz.

The range
of these frequencies,

they're unlike
anything I've ever seen.

[beeping]

[varying pitches playing]

[sound intensifying]

Ben is in pain?

[hissing]

-Stop this!

[rock music playing

[customers conversing]

So, uh,
anything show up?

When they were looking
at your brain, or whatever.

Still running
more tests, but...

everything looks okay.

Good.

This, um, song thing,

what does it do to you?

I mean, besides make you
drink before 5:00

or move to Iowa.

[laughs]

All depends on the person.

I know I feel good.

I think
that's the IPA talking.

[laughs] What?

Wanted to tell you,

I'm glad
you're doing better.

You're a good guy, Xan.

You deserve to be happy.

Thanks.

You know, so do you.

It's good to see
that you're

giving yourself
a break for a change.

You weren't always
the Maddie who felt like

she had to take care
of everyone else.

[laughs]

Not always having
to control everything?

Just doing what feels right
in the moment.

I forgot what it's like.

-Feels good.
-Yeah, I bet.

[laughing] Yeah.

[Siren song echoing]

Whoa. Hey.

What are you doing?

Maddie.

Maddie.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[boat horn blows]

Ryn, remember,
we're pretending

that we're
just friends, okay?

But more than friends.

Ryn lie?

Yeah, kind of.

But this is
for my mom's sake.

You helped her
in the hospital.

She wants to thank you.

She doesn't need
to know any more than that.

Not right now.

Brother!

-Hey, man.
-Hey.

And who might this be?

This is Ryn,

Maddie's exchange student
friend from Finland.

Wait a minute. You--
You look really familiar.

[snaps]

It was a pool party

at the Siren Song Motel
a while back, right?

Yes.

All right.
Well, let me take that.

-Come on inside, guys.
-All right.

I have to admit,
I was surprised
to hear from you.

[laughs]

Much less find myself
sitting in your home.

We're family, Helen.

It threw me for a loop
when I found out,

but I think maybe
it's time we started
acting like it.

I agree.

[soft jazz playing]

-Mom.
-Hey.

You look so good.

[laughs]

I'm so glad
you made it.

I see you brought
my favorite new person.

It's so good
to see you again.

Ryn-- friend from Finland.

How lovely.

Where's Maddie?

She's held up.

She'll-- She'll be here.

Ben.

Dad.

I'm sorry.
I don't think we've met.

I'm Ted, Ben's father.

This is Ryn, Ben's friend.

From Finland.

Oh, wow.
What city you from?

No city.

Mm. A country girl.
I like it.

Yeah.

Well, it's nice
to meet you, Ryn.

You mind if I steal him
for a second?

Stealing is bad.

[laughter]

It's okay.
I'll be right back.

So I don't know what kind
of strings you pulled,

but, uh,
your mother's recovery
is progressing

extremely well.

She told you.

Yeah. After the fact,
if you ask me.

Why the hell
didn't you tell me?

What were you thinking, huh?

Dad, there was no time.

If I had told you,

would you have ever
gone along with it?

Look, it was
Mom's choice, Dad.

She made it.

Your mother gets
her mind set on something,

trying to change it
is an exercise in futility.

Yeah.
On that we can agree.

So, you two met
in the hospital?

-Mm-hmm.
-Yes.

I help Ben's mother.

She sure did.

Visited me at my worst.

Alleviated the pain.

How did she do that?

I'm not sure, actually.

She just sort of placed
her hands above me and

sang.

She sang to you?

Not song.

Different sound.
For helping.

Well, whatever it was,
I need to download it,

because it worked wonders.

By the way,

I got a copy of that video
from Klesco Oil.

Want to get
your take on this.

They say no human can
possibly swim this deep.

You're the expert.
What do you think?

[drill grinding]

[Ben] Looks
like someone is playing

a very good trick
on Klesco.

What do you mean?

Like you said,
there's no other explanation.

It just makes no sense.

I'm curious, how did
you and Ben become friends?

Ben almost hit me
with car.

Um...

Avid bicyclist,
this one.

-Oh.
-[Helen laughs]

Thank God
she had a helmet on, hmm?

How are you guys doing?

Oh, just in time.

I need a drink.

Ryn?

Mom, I know
I already said it,

but, really,
you look so great.

Well, I can't wait to start
feeling even better.

Yeah, slow but steady.

I hope not too slow.

Do you know when I'll
be getting my next dose?

I'm not sure.

I'll talk to the doctor.

Great.

[brakes screech]

[panting]

[gasping]

[soft jazz playing]

I'm so happy
you could all join us.

Yeah. I'd like
to thank you all
for coming.

Our family's been
through a lot.

Means more to me
than you know.

Being
in the hospital, uh,

made me realize
what's really important.

To family.

Yeah.

[Ted] To new friends,

and to those
who matter most.

[footsteps]

[Elaine]
Maddie! Oh, you made it.

I'm so glad.

Um, please sit.
You're just in time.

So Sylvia has prepared
her world famous duck roast.

It should be one
for the books.

You okay?

Yeah.

All right.

You've known
Maddie the longest
out of all her friends.

Probably knew her
better than I ever did.

I guess I thought
if anyone can tell me

what's really
going on with her,

it might be you.

[sighs] Well, she's--

She's had
a rough few months.

Yeah.

Lots of work stress.

But you know Maddie.

She's a fighter, yeah?

Whatever's getting her
worked up, don't worry,

she'll bounce back.

I don't mean
to sound closed-minded,

and it's not that I care
that she's seeing
more than one person,

man or woman, it's just--

Um... Um, uh...

I'm sor--
What do you mean?

Her being
with Ben and Ryn?

They're...

You know, together.

[laughing]

Come on. No, no, it's--

Ryn's a-- She's--

Wait.

So Ryn and Maddie

and Ben--

Are in a relationship
together.

In the biblical sense.

Ryn told me herself.

You didn't know?

[coughs]

Ryn, when are you
going back to Finland?

Ryn is on a...
an extended visa program.

I stay on land.
My choice.

Ted, can I ask you
something?

The old well out the back,

how long's it been there?

Hmm?

By the garden.
I've seen it before.

[Elaine]
Maddie, I, uh...

I happened to see
your mother a few weeks ago.

She looked great.

Oh. Thanks.

I'm sure it's been
a-- a long road,

but I was really happy
to see her doing better.

Me too. Very happy.

[discordant music playing]

[voice muffled and echoing]
And if-- I mean,
when I feel up to it,

I want to come and see you
at the Research Center.

Been way too long.

[Elaine continues indistinctly]

[Ryn's voice echoing]
Is Maddie mad?

Maddie is not okay.

No. Not okay.

Because Maddie lie.

Ryn doesn't want to lie.

Not about being
with Ben and Maddie.

[Ryn]
Others should know.

But--

We are in love.

Yes. We're in love.

[discordant music
crescendos and ends]

We're in love.

The three of us!

Okay then.

No more pretend?

[clears throat]

[clears throat]

I...

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

Uh... [clears throat]

She hasn't been
feeling well.

-Oh.
-Excuse me. I should...

I should, uh--

Uh, well...

Thank you for food.

[rat squeaking]

-[keyboard clicks]
-[Siren song playing]

[squeaking]

[Siren song continuing]

You playing
the right one?

Yes, ma'am.

Turn it up.

[Siren song playing louder]

[distressed squeaks]

Shut it off!

[screeching]

I said--

[Siren song stops]

[clears throat]

Don't mean to disturb you.

Oh, no, come on in.

Sorry I was so, uh,
distracted at dinner.

It's understandable.

That was quite the show.

[laughs]
That's one way to put it.

I just hope those three
figure it out,

whatever it is.

Yeah.

You were asking
about the, uh...

the well?

It adds
a lot of character

to the property,
don't you think?

Oh, sure does.

There used to be
a cottage next to it,
am I right?

That's right.
How'd you know that?

I don't know
how to explain this.

I believe my mother
and father lived there.

What?

I have an old home movie
of them,

taken just
before I was born.

I must've watched it
a hundred times,

but I never knew it was
in your backyard.

The cottage, do you know
what happened to it?

[exhales]
Uh, fire, I think.

But, like I said,
it was before my time.

I remember seeing it
in a bunch of old
family photo albums,

but, uh, I never
really thought much of it.

I figured it was
for storage.

Seems that wasn't the case.

♪ Oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh ♪

♪ Oh-oh oh-oh ♪

You said I had discretion
in how I conducted
my relationship--

Relax, you're not in trouble.

I want to thank you,
actually.

You've been a big help.

Now, this... sound.

This song.
Whatever it is,

make it your top priority.

♪ Oh-oh oh-oh ♪

♪ This is gonna be
the death of me ♪

♪ The death of me, yeah ♪

I still can't believe
what I said.

Your mom probably thinks
I'm a basket case.

Look, the song affects
everyone differently.

It wasn't you.

Wasn't it?

Wasn't it what
I really wanted to say

and just didn't stop
myself from saying it?

Look, we have
to keep experimenting
on the recording.

Find a solution.

No more dark spots.

It won't be long
until your mom needs
another injection.

If we keep
taking stem cells,

Ryn will need to sing
to someone again

to counteract the effects.

She'll have
to sing to me.

I can't stop now.

We don't know how much more
your brain can take.

Then we better
figure something out,

and quick.
