Inner Child

While checking whether a building is empty for an implosion, two workers find a boy locked in a sealed tunnel in the underground. The boy is hospitalized and the Fringe Division is assigned to visit him since the tunnel had been sealed for 70 years. Meanwhile Olivia is unsuccessfully trying to find a serial called The Artist, who kills woman and improves their appearance. Soon the boy that does not speak gives clues about The Artist to Olivia and Dr. Bishop discovers that the boy is mentally connected to Olivia. Soon Olivia learns that the CIA is interested in the boy and she is powerless to change the situation. Who might be the boy?

"Inner Child" is an intriguing episode of "Fringe" divided in two great segments: one about a mysterious bald boy that does not speak and has powerful ability and the other about a serial-killer called The Artist. The conclusion of the storyline of the boy is totally unexpected. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Inner Child"

HORRIBLE make-up on that poor kid. Red eyes made with pink blush, "bald" head where you can see hair under the latex cap. Even for a show on a shoe-string, this is WAY too sloppy.

A boy is found in an ante-room in a condemned building, a place where light can't penetrate. We have no idea how long he has been there. He has no pigmentation, but for the most part he is healthy.

With certain quirks due to his condition. He does have the gift of empathy which comes into play when a man known as "the Artist" is killing women and posing them artistically. The boy senses when he is doing his evil deeds. Of course, a deadline is thrown in the way of the gang due to efforts to analyze the boy--red tape again. The whole plot is nicely developed as they attempt to understand what he is thinking since he doesn't speak.
