Voicemails From Darkness - MSG 6: An Interested Buyer

Dr. Ryder gets a call from Julian Holloway, regarding a proposal to buy Danielles wallpaper.

Voicemail
Julian calls Malcolm so he can listen to what happens to Danielle as she tries to sell her wallpaper. During the episode it becomes more and more clear that he is the Traveling Salesman and he manipulates her mind on two obvious occasions:


 * 1) He doesn't let her remember where she's heard his name before
 * 2) He doesn't let her remember where she remembers the mention of pyramids on dollars from

Other than that he makes her trust him by stating he's "just a salesman". He later tries to get her to agree to a dubious deal, wanting to get her to say that she wishes for freedom in exchange for the wallpaper instead of the 20.000 dollars she initially asked for. When she asks for the money again he tells her that he could give her more: everything she wished for until the end of her life. She does appear to see the obvious red flags but she doesn't disagree after his last words.

The call ends before she can answer.

Continuity
Danielle appeared before on the previous episode 07 - Paisley, or: The Man Who Stands In The Shade Of The Cypress Tree. Julian Holloway as the Traveling Salesman has never appeared in person before but he is mentioned in almost every episode, excluding episodes 1, 2 and 5.
