Cats in the Pharmaceutically Altered Cradle

At the industrial park specified in the call, Olivia's crouched up on a catwalk with a pair of binoculars, a view of where Dr. Carson is waiting with the briefcase, and a team of sharpshooters. In fact, the whole site is surrounded by hidden SWAT agents. The brown sedan pulls into view, but Tyler's not in it; just the two car salesmen in the front seat. After the car parks somewhere out of sight and Beardo is seen walking towards Carson, Olivia gives the order for everyone to put on their headphones. At the end of the catwalk, Peter and Walter don their headsets like everyone else, and Walter activates the teddy bear, which is wired up to the bank of equipment they've toted out. Suddenly the entire soundtrack is that ultrasound noise, as Olivia uses her binoculars to watch Beardo accosting Carson. Still no sign of Tyler. Suddenly Beardo grabs the briefcase and makes a run for it. "All units, move, move!" Olivia barks into her microphone. The white noise continues as an otherwise eerily silent action scene commences, with Beardo continuing to flee with the case until he's cut off by a phalanx of armed agents chasing him into another warehouse. Olivia signals her men into a flanking movement, when suddenly that sedan crashes out through the wall of the warehouse, Squinty at the wheel and fighting for control (in more ways than one, as we'll soon learn). Olivia dives out of the way and her headphones come off, just in time for her to hear the car's engine roar. That is, until it plows into something solid enough to flip it end-over-end, catching fire and emitting a nifty smoke-ring before finally settling on its roof and going full carbecue. Not looking good for Squinty right now. Olivia looks around -- Beardo's still on the move, inside the warehouse. Grabbing her headphones and popping them back on (and effectively turning down the volume on the scene once again -- it's a really cool effect), she jumps to her feet and goes in pursuit.
