Previously in Fringe...
The First People... You're holding one of the last copies.
What are we talking about? Adam and Eve?
No, before dinosaurs.
They were the first people.
"They were a people of great technological prowess
who made the ultimate discovery."
Walternate had said
that it was a very powerful piece of ancient tech.
This machine is dangerous.
Which is why we need to understand it.
When I touched that device on the other side,
it came alive in my hands.
How can you expect me to ignore that?
Walter didn't have brain tissue implanted.
He had it removed.
What are you doing, Walter?
I'm making myself smarter.
If I can think like Walternate,
I can figure out what he's trying to do
with that device.
The picture of me in the device.
What does it mean?
What's going to happen to me?

Clearance and I.D.
Do you have any chewing gum?
Excuse me?
I'm sorry.
He's got this thing with his ears.
It's not a thing with my ears.
I've got a blocked eustachian tube.
And it's a perfectly natural reaction.
Any flavor will do,
although I'm rather partial to grape.
Welcome back, colonel Broyles.
We've tried a dozen different power sources.
And there were no reactions at all?
We've run all the diagnostics.
The machine continues to be unresponsive.
Miss Sharp, your guests are here.
Expand the telemetry parameters and run the tests again.
I understand
you broke the encryption on the computer
the other Olivia left behind. A few days ago.
Peter gave us a number of password suggestions.
One worked.
Oh? Yeah.
It was a song lyric.
And Fauxlivia ruined u2 for all of us.
Fauxlivia?
That's what Walter's calling her now.
"Fauxlivia" as in "fake Olivia."
Ah. Uh, the data on the computer.
What did you find?
Unfortunately, it's one big file,
mission details buried in hundreds of pages
of mundane observations about our world.
We don't know what's valuable and what isn't.
And we can't identify any type of code.
Oh, my.
It's bigger than I imagined.
Well, I suppose...
It's just big enough to destroy a couple of universes.
So far, we haven't been able to figure out
how the machine works.
NASA, the CIA, the nih.
We've had the government's top people at our disposal.
Which are you? Excuse me?
Which agency do you work for?
Walter, this is Dr. James Falcon,
our lead scientist on this project.
Oh. Well, I suppose that makes me your boss.
I'm Dr. Walter Bishop.
Sorry for the interruption. Please continue.
As I was saying, we're confounded.
There doesn't seem to be an energy source
and nothing that suggests the machine
can hold or transmit any type of power.
Jack, are you getting this?
Yeah.
Some kind of electromagnetic spike.
Well, we think the problem must be the missing piece.
The one that the other Olivia stole.
That could be right.
The piece was right from the center of the machine.
So it could be the power source.
Did the other Olivia mention the machine
in her files?
We're still working through the data.
God.
It's like...
Something triggered it.
Something did trigger it.
Me.
Peter.
You've been out?
No, I just came downstairs. I couldn't sleep.
I thought I heard the door.
You must've been dreaming.
I don't think so.
I wasn't sleeping either.
Is that peanut butter? Can I have one?
Mm-hmm.
How you feeling? Any more nosebleed?
No. Headaches?
No.
But you're unable to sleep?
Yes, but I don't think that has anything to do
with the machine, Walter.
Might. We don't know yet.
We don't know anything.
The First Peoples book.
I read it cover to cover a dozen times.
There's nothing to suggest how that device works
or how it's connected to you.
Walter, stop, please.
I want answers too.
And I know you want to help me,
but I don't think that you can this time.
You can't protect me from everything.
Only a couple more, Mr. Bishop.
You still haven't convinced me that this is necessary.
Every human being gives off a unique
electromagnetic signature.
We're testing to see if it was indeed your son's
that triggered the machine.
I have a graduate degree from mit as well.
I don't need a test to know how unlikely it is
that this has got anything to do with electromagnetics.
Walter. Peter.
Do you have any idea how much radiation
you're about to be exposed to?
Well, I do now, Walter.
Walter, I think you're overreacting.
May I have a word in private, please?
We can't fire him, Walter.
He's one of the most gifted biomedical engineers
in the country.
I don't care who he is.
I don't want him poking and prodding my son.
I know you're worried about Peter.
I'm not worried, Nina. I'm terrified.
Did you see the way that machine reacted to him?
That is precisely why we're running these tests.
This is a waste of time.
It's not going to tell us anything.
Nina, I need you to do something for me.
I've been trying to regenerate my brain cells.
But William was too clever for that.
He not only took out pieces of my brain,
he inhibited their ability to replicate.
Walter... But Belly kept detailed notes
of everything he did.
I want to see his research to know how to reverse
what he did to me.
To regrow my brain cells.
Walter, that's more than 15 years ago.
I'm not whole, Nina.
If I'm to figure out
how Peter is connected to the machine,
I have to get smarter.
It's the only way I'll be able to help my son.
Yes. I'll get on it right away.
Thank you.
Hey.
You okay?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm great.
In fact, I think I might use my newfound superpowers
to make this machine levitate.
Oh, well, now that would be impressive.
I tried to call you last night and you didn't pick up.
Oh. Yeah. Walter was being Walter.
I had to go for a walk. (Dr. Falcon) We're ready.
Do you want something to help you to sleep?
This may take a while.
No. I'm okay. Thanks.
Peter, relax.
This procedure's perfectly safe.
I'm sorry, doc.
You'll forgive me if I'm a little bit leery
of machines right about now.
I understand.
Okay, well, I'm gonna be right outside.
I see Dr. Bishop leaves the high intensity work for you.
Agent Broyles.
You know they're all over at Massive Dynamic.
I know. I came to speak with you.
For the past two days,
an encryption team has been waiting
for the data on the other Olivia's hard drive.
Yeah. I hear it's one big mess.
More than 300 pages of material.
Details about this world.
Profiles on our people. Mission specifics.
It's difficult to know what information's important.
Well, I'm happy to help.
I knew you would be.
And we certainly could use your skills.
But there's a reason I haven't already asked.
Her mission logs are filled
with personal observations.
And many of them concern her relationship with Peter.
And given what Peter and our Olivia have been through...
I understand.
I'll be discreet.
The file is on the mainframe.
Broyles. I'll be right there.
Yes.
I admit his rate is a bit high.
130 beats per minute is hardly a bit high.
I want you to take him out of that machine right now.
Dr. Bishop, it's a very narrow tachycardia.
It's hardly life-threatening.
It would be ridiculous to stop testing for this.
Okay, so what is going on?
Peter's heart rate is a bit elevated.
I assumed it was nerves at first,
but he should've stabilized by now.
Are you saying that his heart rate
could have triggered the machine?
No, I don't see how it could have.
But it is curious and implies we should do more tests.
By all means.
Let's use my son as a new Massive Dynamic lab rat!
Walter, I don't think the doctor was...
Dunham.
I'm on my way.
Okay. I've got to go.
Can you call me if you learn something new?
His name was MichaelBaird.
He was found dead in the fountain by a colleague.
M.E. Thinks he was murdered some time around 3:00 A.M.
So what's with the dead fish?
He died of Mercury poisoning.
Mercury?
He's a shapeshifter.
That's not all.
Turn him over, please.
His data storage disk was removed.
Thank you.
Whoever did this knew what they were doing.
So why would someone kill a shapeshifter?
You mean someone other than us?
Okay. What if this was Walternate?
What if he sent over some type of cleaner
to tie up all the loose ends?
To kill this guy before we...
Before we learned what he knew.
What are you thinking?
This is Astrid.
Agent Farnsworth,
I need you to run a search
on the other Olivia's data file.
Okay. What's the name?
MichaelBaird.
Yeah, he's on here.
He's on a long list
of port authority employees.
Shut down the mainframe. Shut it down now.
And from this moment on, no one accesses that file
except you.
What's going on?
We cracked the encryption
on the other Olivia's hard drive 36 hours ago.
Among the info, she lists thousands of names.
MichaelBaird is one of them.
Suppose Walternate knew we were getting close
to identifying the list of shapeshifters on that drive.
How would he know that?
Because someone on our side may have told him.
We got a mole.
Well?
I'd cut back on fried foods.
But your lab work, the e.E.G. Readings,
it all looks pretty standard.
Nothing to indicate you and the machine
share an electromagnetic signature.
And there's nothing out of the ordinary?
Well, like I told your father,
your heart rate was a bit elevated.
But that could be adrenaline, nerves, stress.
Doctor, come on, when I got within 50 feet of that machine,
things started flying around the room.
My nose started bleeding.
You're honestly trying to tell me
that that's just a coincidence?
No. I'm telling you we still have no idea
how any of that happened,
but from a medical standpoint,
you seem perfectly normal.
I'm willing to run more tests.
But, frankly, I thought you'd be relieved.
Well, hey, you're the doctor.
Peter.
Agent Dunham called.
They found a dead shapeshifter.
She thinks someone on the inside
must be feeding Walternate information.
Let's go.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
We assume the shapeshifter was killed
because someone knew it was just a matter of f time
before we ID'd him.
We need to round up anybody who had access
to the other Olivia's hard drive. We're already on it.
All the FBI decryption teams.
Anybody in Massive Dynamic.
Okay, Peter. Trust me, we're on top of it.
We're questioning every one of them as we speak.
In fact, that's what Walter and Nina are doing
at Massive Dynamic now.
What about the rest of her file?
Does it mention any other shapeshifters
other thanBaird?
Well, Newton's mentioned.
And if there are two of them,
we're assuming there are more.
But there are hundreds of names throughout the file.
Just lists of government employees, local cops.
We're running profiles on all of them now.
We're looking for anything that might indicate
a recent change in behavior.
Anything which would suggest having been replaced
by a shapeshifter.
All right, well, it looks like a big job.
So how can we help you sift through the data?
Um, it's probably not a good idea.
Why not?
Because she wrote about me.
Yeah.
Some parts of this read like a diary.
You're quite prominent.
We should get to Massive Dynamic.
Okay, well, call me if you find something.
State your full name, please.
Special agent Matthew Nicholas Goldin.
Does the name "Michael Baird" mean anything to you?
No, it does not.
Where were you born?
Brooklyn, New York.
How many more are there?
22 of our people. Another 7 from the FBI.
So far, all the blood tests have come back negative.
But that doesn't rule out the possibility
of a human mole.
Lie detectors are unreliable.
He's right. People beat them all the time.
Not this one.
William designed it.
It measures the slightest shift
in facial muscles,
which allows us a link to stress
and a particular emotion.
His facial muscles tell us that his stress
is not connected
to feelings of guilt or shame.
Very clever.
I wish I'd thought of it.
We need to keep everybody in custody
until we find the leak.
There are nearly 30 people
on the list.
I'm not sure that's practical.
Do you actually want to catch this mole, Nina?
Do you know the identity of any shapeshifter?
No, I don't.
Do you know anything
about the murder...
Walter, do you have a moment?
Yes. Yes, of course.
Have you ever given anyone information
to assist in the murder of a shapeshifter?
No, I haven't.
You were right.
I found William's research.
His notes suggest that he designed
a retroviral serum based on your DNA
that will regrow your brain tissue.
That's wonderful.
Oh, thank you, Belly. Walter,
William experimented with lab animals first.
A rat and a chimpanzee.
Now, back in the '90s, we had a small lab fire.
The original labels were destroyed.
I'm going to ask the lab
to run diagnostics on all three.
Then they should be able to tell us which one
was made for you.
Walter.
Don't worry. I've snorted worse.
A few good whiffs
and my brain should be able to begin to regrow
its missing parts.
And what if the serum is not based on your DNA?
Well, I'll probably get a rash.
Well, I'm afraid we've got a bigger problem
on our hands.
I'm worried about Peter.
So am I. But that's what this is all about.
Peter has endured a lot recently.
Maybe he should talk with someone.
No, what I'm trying to say is there are people
that are trained to help.
Nina, he's my son.
I'm the one that needs to help him.
Do you know anything
about the murder of MichaelBaird?
No.
How long have you been in the FBI?
About five years.
Peter.
And you never heard of MichaelBaird
before I brought his name up...
About the other Olivia's files,
I know that you slept with her
and I know that you're trying to protect me.
But reading about it isn't going to make it worse.
Peter, I'm not doing any good here.
But if I could help Astrid with the files...
Olivia.
I've conned people.
And I know what I would've written about them.
She must've thought that I was a fool.
And I don't want you to see me like that.
All right, we're done.
That's it. We've talked to everybody.
We should call Broyles and tell him.
What about Dr. Falcon?
Dr. Falcon wasn't on the team
that worked on the hard drive.
Maybe not, but he was asking questions about it
yesterday at the hangar.
Hey, it's me.
Uh, could you send Dr. Falcon up, please?
Why not?
What?
Dr. Falcon left work early.
Clear.
The exact same as MichaelBaird.
Two shots in the head and his data storage unit
had been removed.
You're right. Dr. James Falcon.
He's on here.
He's part of a list of Massive Dynamic employees.
Dr. Falcon's name is on her computer.
So if Walternate's knocking these guys off,
they must know something important.
Damn. Yeah. Tell Walter I feel the same.
That's not about the shapeshifters.
Walter's giving himself an iq test.
Okay. Well, Falcon's body is being taken to the lab.
So when Walter finishes exercising his mind,
can you get him to take a look?
Maybe he can find something
that will help us identify the killer.
Of course.
Astrid's still going through her files.
But so far no luck identifying the remaining shapeshifters.
Yeah. The techs are drawing a blank too.
I don't think we're gonna find anything in here
that's gonna tell us who Falcon was working with.
God, it feels like every time we learn something new,
we're still a step behind.
If we could get to one of these shapeshifters,
maybe we could finally get answers.
My bone saw, dear.
The aspirator, voltmeter, and a ripe banana.
Please tell me the banana's for you.
I had a sudden craving.
It's odd though.
Bananas are typically my least favorite fruit.
Oh, news.
Yeah, but it's not good.
Another 20 names have been cross-checked
from Fauxlivia's files.
None of them are shapeshifters.
So you've read all of Olivia's files?
Yeah. Most of them.
What did she have to say about me?
She liked you.
She thought that you were kind and brilliant.
Would you help me with him, please, dear?
Walter.
Oh. I'm sorry. That was very rude.
I was displaying dominance. 'Scuse me?
The serum I took.
It must've been meant for a chimpanzee.
You mean it's growing chimp DNA in your brain?
Well, just a bit.
It's fascinating though, isn't it?
How the tiniest change in our composition
can yield such drastic changes in our behavior.
It's not surprising, really.
After all, we share 50% of our DNA with a banana.
You sure it isn't dangerous?
No. It'll pass.
My immune system
will recognize it as foreign
and reject it.
So...
The bone saw, please.
Hmm.
What is it?
I'm not sure. Magnify...
Looks like blood.
So this must've been how he got in.
It looks like he used a knife to Jimmy open the window.
Which would suggest that he and Dr. Falcon
were strangers or otherwise he would've used
the front door, right?
Hmm.
Peter.
I owe you an apology.
For what?
The last few weeks have been really hard for me.
I've been so focused on what the other Olivia
did to me that I just haven't thought
about what she did to you.
Look, Olivia...
And I want you to know that I'm sorry
and that I get it now.
That good news is is that she's gone.
I know it doesn't feel like that at the moment,
but she is gone.
And, um, we can get past it.
Thank you.
I got to do more tests at Massive Dynamic.
Do you want me to drive you?
No. I'll just take the train.
But could you call Walter and let him know
I'll be home late and not to worry?
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
Dunham.
It's me.
We just found blood under Dr. Falcon's fingernails.
So the killer is human?
Appears so. Type "A" positive.
It's fairly common.
I'm "A" positive along with 1/3 of the population.
I'm searching Massive Dynamics' personnel files now
and there is only one person with that blood type
who had access to Fauxlivia's files.
Brandon Fayette. Nina Sharp's chief scientist.
Spare some change, lady?
Yeah. Sure.
Don't move.
Can I swallow?
Hey, Bermudez.
Have you ever killed a shapeshifter?
No.
I've been going to the gym though.
I'm kind of stoked you'd think I'd have that kind of strength.
You can keep asking me questions.
The machine isn't gonna give you
a different answer because I didn't do it.
He's right.
Machine says he's telling the truth.
Hi. What have you got?
It's not Brandon.
We questioned him and he passed the polygraph.
Well, that's not unheard of.
Lots of people defy a polygraph.
Not this one.
Okay, which one of these haven't you gone through?
I understand why nobody wants me to read these files.
But what's written here is in the past
and what is important is the future.
Somewhere in here are the names
of the remaining shapeshifters.
And we're running out of options.
Yes. And we have to find them
before whoever's killing them does.
Believe me. I know.
Broyles is calling me every 20 minutes
to tell me the same thing.
At this point, it's not just the shapeshifters
that I'm worried about.
I mean, if we can find the next target
and surveil him,
maybe we can catch this guy.
Look, I am really thankful for your help. Seriously.
But I've been through this whole stack already.
But I'm not just another set of eyes.
We're the same.
The other Olivia and me.
I should be able to think the same way.
So maybe I'm gonna be able to find a pattern.
Hello?
Walter, it's Nina.
Nina. I was just thinking about you.
The first sample is definitely chimpanzee.
You can label it now.
First sample?
Belly's serum. I'm ready for round two.
Actually, I was calling for Peter.
He's not with you?
Has he finished the tests already?
Finished? No, no, that's why I'm calling.
I wanted to schedule a round of tests.
But Olivia said...
I must've misunderstood.
Walter, I understand how you feel about this testing.
And I know that Peter is reticent
as well.
But I also know that you understand
why these tests are so important.
Will you tell him I called?
Yes. I'll give him the message.
You okay?
"It's strange,
"but at moments when I'm with PB,
"I find myself forgetting what I'm here for.
"PB's different than I expected him to be.
"A sincerity behind his eyes.
"A deep-seated goodness.
"It's hard not to get caught up in it.
Not to get caught up in him."
You know, this may have started out
as a mission,
but it turned into something else.
She was starting to have real feelings for him.
Olivia... No, I mean,
and he's a great guy.
And, of course, we're the same.
She would see what I see.
We speak the same.
We use the same phrases.
I'm reading this and I'm thinking
"This is how I make sense of things.
Make sense of feelings. Of Peter."
We even use the...
Olivia?
Okay. I think I got something.
You need the original printout of the file.
Exactly what am I looking for?
When I was a little kid, my mother used to call me olive
and hers did too.
So I think this is a letter substitution code.
So o-l-I-v-e.
Uh, "O" is the 15th letter of the alphabet.
So on the 15th page, the 15th name is...
It's Newton.
"L" is the 12th letter of the alphabet.
12th name on the 12th page.
MichaelBaird.
And "I" is the 9th letter in the alphabet.
The 9th name on the 9th page.
James Falcon.
The 22nd name on the 22nd page
is Jackie Bermudez.
And the last one is Zach Alpert.
Okay, we got them.
Hello, my friend. I was expecting you.
Where you getting your information?
How did you find me?
I know who you are, Peter.
You might think
that we're not allowed to kill you.
But that doesn't mean that we can't hurt you.
We can get everything we need from you
even if you only have nine fingers...
Or one eye.
Peter.
Broyles.
Jackie Bermudez's apartment was empty.
We got a team sitting on it in case she comes back.
Damn it.
You okay?
Yeah.
So five shapeshifters.
How'd you break the code?
There's only five letters in "olive."
Newton,Baird, Falcon are dead.
Bermudez is missing.
So that leaves one.
How'd you find me, Walter?
I found your notes. Fauxlivia's file.
You left... They were right on your desk.
I'm smart enough to open a phone book.
I looked the man up.
You killed them all, didn't you, Peter?
And it's been useless.
I didn't learn anything
from the rest of the data disks.
But he's the last one. He must know something.
Peter...
I have to know what they know, Walter.
I'm tired of being reactive.
Son, this isn't you. You can't just...
They're soldiers, Walter. They're here to kill us.
Besides, they're not even human.
And I'm not doing anything wrong.
Then why didn't you tell us?
If you weren't doing anything wrong,
why didn't you tell us?
I don't know what's happened, but this is not you.
Hello. Peter, it's me.
Good news. We identified the last two shapeshifters.
We're heading to Zach Alpert's apartment.
It's in revere.
I'll let you know if we find him.
We failed. He got all of them and now he's gone.
We don't know who he was. We're always just a step behind.
Well, we still have the other Olivia's computer.
Maybe Astrid can learn something.
Okay. I should get home. Bye, Walter.
Bye.
Peter, I read her file.
And you should know that you have nothing
to be embarrassed about.
Thank you.
I think I know what's happening to you.
Every relationship is reciprocal, Peter.
When you touch something, it touches you.
You're changing, son.
When you touched the machine, it changed you.
It weaponized you.
So what do we do now, Walter?
I don't know.
I understand you have news on the device.
Not exactly, but we found these three copies
of the First Peoples book.
Where did we find them?
One was in a museum.
The others, private collections.
The owners did not want to part with them.
But it kind of helps when you have unlimited funds.
And they all say the same thing?
It's in three different languages
written by three different authors.
They're all published within two years of each other.
So forgiving for the translations,
they're almost literally word for word.
And what do you make of it?
A civilization that existed millions of years
before the dinosaurs?
The planet has been spinning for five billion years.
We've only been around for the past 250,000.
There were six major extinction events
before we even crawled out of the slime.
So who's to say that one of them
didn't wipe out a great civilization?
Hmm.
There's another thing.
When we put the word out that we were looking
for copies of the book,
we found out we weren't the only ones.
A few years ago,
somebody started a similar search.
Who?
William Bell.
Ah.
