Episode Summary:

The Fringe team investigates a crime victim that had his heart surgically removed but stayed alive for several minutes after EMTs arrived. They discover the crime follows a pattern of organ theft from several different people who received organs from one donor. The team realizes that the abductor is injecting the victims with a protein that prevents the bodies and organs from degrading, and surmise he is reuniting the organs to possibly reanimate the donor.
