- I'm going for a week, not until the end of time. - Yeah.
(Male announcer) Previously on Fringe...
Our Agent Dunham... Has she made contact?
(Walternate) She's on the other side focused on the task at hand.
(Peter) Since you got back from the other side,
it's like you're a completely different person.
How'd you do it?
How'd you replace our Olivia?
Listen, whatever happens to me,
I want you to know that this started out as an assignment,
- but it became... - Something more.
That would be so much easier to believe
if you weren't in handcuffs right now.
(Astrid) Have you seen Colonel Broyles? He's late to work this morning.
His wife said that he did not come home last night,
and that is... is very unlike him.
(Woman over PA) Paging Ms. Levin...
your party is waiting for you at terminal 7, gate 3.
Final boarding for Gotham air flight...
Guess who. [Chuckles]
Uh... [Clears throat]
Well, the voice isn't familiar,
but, uh, the hands I like.
They're kind of... rugged and sexy.
Oh. No, sorry.
I... I... I don't recognize you.
No, it's my fault.
- I thought you were someone else. - Oh.
Well, you should probably leave,
because I'm waiting for my boyfriend,
and we haven't seen each other for a few months,
and he's really big and strong, so...
But, you know, actually, now that I think about it,
there is something in your face that's kind of ringing a bell.
Yeah, maybe...
- Maybe it's my, um, lips. - Hmm.
[Both murmuring]
It's so good to be home. You hungry?
(Woman over PA) Due to inclement weather over the midwest,
the following flights have been canceled...
Glatterflug flight 7 bound for Chicago.
Gotham air 3 bound for St. Louis.
"Everybody talks about the weather. Nobody does anything about it."
I'm quoting Samuel Clemens.
You stranded too?
In a way, yeah, I, uh...
I'm waiting on someone who got delayed.
Could you pass me the salt, please?
- Sure. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- How was the shower? - It was hot. I was beginning to think
there wasn't a hot shower anywhere in North Texas.
Well, welcome back to civilization.
Well, to what do I owe the honor?
You're a national hero.
I figured you deserve the good stuff.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Hmm. It's good.
Liv...
Everything all right?
What do you mean?
I don't know.
It's just, uh... Didn't say a word to me
on the drive back from the airport.
And when I'd call from Texas, you seemed a bit distant.
[Soft music playing]
Well, we were distant.
Yeah, I know.
Just you almost... didn't seem like yourself.
Oh.
You know, work's just been kind of crazy.
Look, I know when I'm away, we can be a bit off.
Just want to make sure it's not something more.
No.
It's just everything's a little overwhelming
since Broyles went missing.
(Frank) Do you have any leads?
No. They, uh, found his car at the edge of a no-go zone,
but nobody knows why it was in there.
Something classified?
Possibly, yeah.
Uh, Lincoln's taking over in his absence.
He keeps pressing all the official channels,
but we're not getting any answers.
They stopped the search.
I'm sorry I couldn't be here for you.
I know how you feel about him.
Well, you're here now.
- And I'm glad about that. - Me too.
[Giggles]
[Gasping, panting]
[Vomiting, coughing]
Help.
Please, help.
[Groaning]
[Continues groaning] [Thud]

You have any idea how much I missed
watching you get dressed in the morning?
[Chuckles]
What time is it?
Uh, it's about 8:00.
I thought you might like to sleep in.
Yeah. Thank you.
Hey, uh...
- You want to get away this weekend? - Uh, sure. Where?
I don't know. How about we hop on an airship
and go down to Annapolis like we used to?
- Annapolis? - Yeah.
We can go to the crab shack on the wharf or...
- Obrecky's? - Right.
[Laughs] Remember how great their jukebox was?
I would love that. [Ear cuff ringing]
[Ringing]
Dunham.
Okay. I'm on my way.
Bye.
[Door opens, closes]
[Elevator bell dings]
Hey. I heard they're rerouting all the flights from Newark...
Bomb scare?
Nope. Spontaneous bug eruption.
Guy named Harry Millman, 42 years old...
They found him in the bathroom.
Bugs had eaten their way from the inside out.
Oh, fabulous.
Gosh, I was just here last night picking up Frank.
- So, bugs. - Yep.
Ugh, you know how I feel about bugs.
Not Charlie.
Charlie loves bugs.
Look lively, people.
New boss is here.
How is it that when you say "boss,"
it sounds like insubordination?
You see, that's my tone.
Maybe that's why I didn't get the promotion.
Yeah, maybe, or else I'm better than you.
[Chuckles] Okay, so they're pretty, but what are they?
No idea. We've been through what...
Three different insect databases?
We still can't find a match.
What happened to the other passengers?
We contacted about half of them.
Apparently, the bugs don't live outside the body too long.
And if somebody had been infected,
we would have heard about it by now.
Yeah, maybe. Maybe not.
Maybe some kind of mutant insect bit him,
laid eggs under his skin?
That's comforting.
Looks like we got a live one.
Gotcha.
Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Secretary.
I see the piece that Agent Dunham obtained
was finally sent over.
Yes, and it seems to be functional.
We should have it integrated with the machine by week's end.
Good.
That's actually not why I asked you here.
The experiments with the chemical
we synthesized from the other Olivia's brain...
It appears there's been a breakthrough.
This subject was given his second dose of the day.
43 minutes later, this happened.
- Crossed over? - No.
(Woman) Danny?
How are you doing this?
(Danny) I... I don't...
Don't know.
I'm just...
Just thinking it... And it's happening.
Aah!
Oh, my God! Danny!
[Groans loudly]
Call Dr. Jackson!
[Continues groaning]
Nine test subjects get an injection and die within thirty minutes.
This one develops a telekinetic ability.
What's the difference?
We'll know more after we dissect his brain,
but I have a theory...
Age.
This subject was the youngest of the group,
which would make sense, given your notion
that the human brain is infinitely capable at birth.
We simply need younger subjects.
- I think that children... - No.
Sir, we may be close.
No children.
That is not an option.
You'll have to try something else.
Drop your file request on the table.
I'm a little busy right now.
Uh, Fringe Division.
I'm Agent Olivia Dunham, and this is Agent...
Agent Charlie Foster...
Francis.
I'm Foster...
Mona Foster.
We, uh... We... We met before?
I treated you for your arachnid infestation.
I'm not surprised you don't remember me.
You were in a lot of pain.
So how are the spiders?
Uh, they're good.
They... They... Sometimes they just itch a little bit.
Maybe you just need someone to scratch it.
Hmm.
So... [Clears throat]
What brings Fringe here today?
It's order Coleoptera, for sure,
Archostemata maybe, but species?
No clue.
Where did you find this?
Uh, the Empire Docking Station.
That's kind of an unusual habitat for beetles.
They ate their way out of a person.
Interesting...
Yeah.
Wait here a minute.
- Don't even start with me. - Oh...
- Don't... - Bug girl's got a crush on Charlie.
Bug girl has a crush on the fact
that I got spiders in my blood, kiddo.
Come on, everybody's looking for someone
that's gonna like them for who they are inside, right?
Are you kidding me right now?
[Laughing]
Skelter beetle...
Mansohnium boogliosus,
which answers one question
but raises a whole bunch of others.
- Such as? - Such as how is this here?
Skelter beetles are parasitic.
They lived exclusively in sheep.
Sheep.
And given that all the sheep died out ten years ago...
The bugs died with them.
What was it doing inside of a person?
(Silva) Specimen number 7 was harvested twelve hours ago
after a twenty-minute gestation period.
I have extracted the epigastric tissue
from the beetle's abdomen
and...
And placed it into the substrate.
I am now adding 10 milliliters
of the protein complex to catalyze a reaction.
If the enzyme is present...
The indicator will turn pink.
[Exhales sharply]
Come on.
[Slams table, object clatters]
Get local P.D. to check the house if she's not answering her phone.
(Man) Passenger 23 is clear.
Passenger 9 is clear.
We've also fully accounted for zeppelin crew
- and ground personnel. - The food for the airship...
It's supplied by an LFC Food Services.
And it checks out clean so far.
(Astrid) You're wasting your time.
We're not dealing with an outbreak.
We've cleared 62.237% of people
who could possibly have been exposed.
That's enough to make a statistical inference.
This is not an epidemic.
Where do I get one of you?
(Bolivia) I bet she drives a beetle.
You're not funny. [Laughs]
Listen, if you go on a date with her and you're late,
then at least you know that she won't bug out.
Wow. You're original.
- Hey. - Hey.
What are you doing here?
Uh, Lincoln requested a CDC liaison.
I said I could help.
Hey, Frank,
how's cow country?
Let's just say I'm happy to be back.
You find anything?
Yep, Mansohnium boogliosus.
Skelter beetle.
They died out with the sheep in '01.
Huh. Never heard of them. Let me look at that.
I guess for you two this kind of thing is romantic?
Brings back memories, huh?
- Hoboken? - Uh-huh.
There's nothing like a little cholera outbreak
to bring two people together.
I can only imagine what it is you see in a guy like that.
Oh, he's kind of perfect, isn't he?
No, I am perfect, but he's a close second.
- Right. - Right.
So still nothing on how our victim got infected?
- Nope. If you learn anything, you let me know. - Mm-hmm.
I'll be in Broyles' off...
I'll be in my office.
See, what's odd is
with the sheep they have a symbiotic relationship,
but now they're attacking their host.
They're eating their way out.
So they look the same, but they're not the same.
Yeah. Yeah, to put it simply.
The question is why. What... What changed?
(Astrid) Why don't you just ask?
What's that?
When you don't know the answer to something,
you ask someone who does.
Put out a Fringe Alert to the public.
Odds are that someone will recognize this beetle
and call in a tip.
In fact, statistics suggest
you will get at least two calls.
I don't know what they pay you here,
but I definitely need you in my life.
[Door bell jingles]
Uh, do you mind?
(Woman) Hi. What can I get ya?
A cup of Earl Grey and a piece of, um, cherry pie.
Okay.
That looks complicated.
What is it?
I'm a scientist.
This is my, uh, research, but, uh...
You probably wouldn't understand.
Well, try me.
Do you know the name Jonas Salk?
Sure. Who doesn't? He cured polio.
Have you heard of...
Watson and Crick?
They're those DNA guys, right?
That's right, yeah.
How about, uh, Dr. Armand Silva?
Armand Silva.
No. Don't know that one.
Oh.
You will.
[Buzzing on television]
(Man on television) Attention, citizens...
this is a Fringe Alert.
If you have seen or have any information
regarding this bug, known as a skelter beetle,
please call 711 and speak to Fringe Division.
(Woman) Have you decided?
Yeah.
I'll have what he's having.
Hey.
Got a minute? Can I ask a favor?
Of course. What's up?
I was hoping if the case wraps up this weekend
if Olivia could have a few days.
Why? You two got, uh...
Big plans or something?
Yeah. Yeah, you could say that.
Sure.
Can you, uh... keep a secret?
You kidding me?
I have my own, like... cone of silence
when it comes to secrets.
What is it?
Ma'am, nobody's gonna eat your dog, all right?
Thank you for calling.
No, sir, these bugs do not have control of your wife.
These people are freaks!
What's going on in this city?
I'm gonna get a sandwich.
Uh, no, sir, I promise that is not the way they work.
Yes, you can feel free to call us
if something changes.
Okay, thank you. [Beep]
How's it going?
[Laughs] Um, well...
We have had 200 phone calls,
mostly from nut jobs and scared...
Frank's gonna ask you to marry him.
I'm serious.
This weekend... He just told me.
I... I promised I'd keep it a secret,
but you know me, I can't... keep a secret.
(Charlie) Hey, I think I got a legitimate call here.
- Something up? - No.
- Uh-uh. - Okay.
Guy used to work at a biology annex.
Guy next door to him used to be an expert on skelter beetles.
Go. Go check it out.
Great.
So?
What are you gonna say?
To Frank?
What?
I can keep a secret.
(Man) Yeah, that's it.
Ah, I wish I could forget these things.
His name was Armand Silva.
He was in virology down the hall.
Those damn things were always getting out.
I'm a scientist, but I hate bugs.
You know what he was doing with them?
I don't know.
We were all working on our own projects.
I was harvesting sheep hearts for valve replacement surgeries.
So how are they back? The bugs?
Well, that's what we're trying to figure out.
Do you know where we can find Dr. Silva?
No. In fact, a few years ago,
I heard he tried to kill himself.
I didn't really know him that well, but, uh...
It was like those bugs were his whole life.
When the sheep died out, he was a mess.
But if he's not dead,
he's definitely the guy you want to talk to.
If anyone will know how those bugs have come back,
it'll be him.
(Bolivia) Jerry Bissell, aged 42,
worked as a data systems repairman.
It says that he ate at the Avenue Road Diner
about three hours ago.
(Charlie) Hey, I know that place. It's right around the corner.
No luck on Dr. Silva.
His last known address is outside of Boston,
but nothing in the system on him
since the city was ambered back in '04.
- No record of his death either. - No.
Okay, so that means that he's still out there somewhere.
Hey, look at this...
Right there.
These are so much different.
They're so much bigger.
I'm gonna take it to forensics,
see what they come up with.
Hey, can you send someone to the diner as well?
Maybe somebody saw something.
Oh, great. Now I got, like, two bosses?
What's wrong?
Keep feeling like I'm missing something...
That Broyles would see something I'm not.
Lincoln, you're doing fine.
Don't worry. We'll catch this guy together.
(Reiko) Do you want me to give you some time alone?
No. Please don't.
What is it?
You're lovely. You know that?
You're sweet.
And you're also avoiding answering my question.
It's... many things.
If you had asked me a week ago,
I would have told you
that I would sacrifice anything...
To save our world.
But in fact, there are lines I simply cannot cross.
[Sighs]
Does that make me weak?
No.
It's what makes you
the most brilliant man I've ever known.
And the fact you beat yourself up over these decisions...
Now, that's what makes me sure of this strength.
[Both chuckle]
I wish I had the same faith.
[Sighs]
I'm afraid I've failed, Reiko.
Peter was here, and...
He was here of his own choosing,
as he needs to be.
And I lost him...
I underestimated his attachments over there.
I hadn't factored in the girl.
But now you know about the girl.
And you know Peter better.
You'll get him back.
[Chuckles]
How could you be so sure?
Do you trust me?
More than anyone.
Well, then...
Trust my perspective on this.
I know you, Walter.
I've seen your determination, your will.
I don't have a single doubt in my mind
you'll find an answer.
You always do.
[Knife tapping rapidly]
- Hi. - You're home.
So I called Atlanta.
I found out some information on Dr. Silva.
CDC had a grant he applied for on file, back in '97.
Claims he was close to a vaccine for the avian flu.
Gosh, if that's true...
I know. It would have saved millions.
Thing is his research...
It reads a little off the wall.
Here, take a look at this.
The vaccine was based on an enzyme
that the skelter beetle produced.
And that got me thinking.
You think he's trying to bring
the skelter beetle back from extinction?
Is that even possible?
Possible, yeah. Certainly not easy.
He'd have to clone DNA from a preserved specimen.
But the real problem would be that the eggs would never hatch.
- Because they only live in sheep. - Exactly.
He'd have to modify them. He'd have to re-engineer them
- to live in a different host. - Like people.
Sheep and humans share 96% of the same DNA.
And that could account for the reason
why the bugs are killing their human hosts.
But I just called the lab.
They said the bugs they got from the first victim...
They weren't mature enough to create the enzyme.
But the bugs got bigger with the second victim.
- They did? - Yeah.
Maybe he is modifying his work.
Okay, so say you're right.
- What would he need? - Like equipment?
[Beep] Yeah. Call Lincoln.
- (Bolivia) Retro-viral samples. - Retro-viral samples.
- Plasmid array. - Plasmid array.
- Liquid spectrometer. - Okay, wait, wait.
- Slow down. - An electron microscope
and also liquid nitrogen... You got all that?
All right, I'm leaving now,
so I should be there in about twenty minutes.
Uh, Lincoln said that if you were here, he would kiss you.
Well, I'm glad he's not here.
Okay. And you will keep the list on you.
- Yes, of course, of course. Keys. - Keys. Yes. Thank you.
And my I.D.
- And you forgot this. - Oh.
I was gonna wait till this weekend.
I know we have a lot to figure out.
There's your job, and there's my job,
and there's my mother.
Look, being away from you made me realize
how much I can't stand being away from you.
[Sighs]
Olivia Dunham...
Will you marry me?
Yes.
[Ear cuff rings]
Seriously?
[Beep]
Hello?
(Lincoln) Hey. Where are you?
It's Lincoln.
I'm just leaving the house. What's up?
Don't come down here. We got a hit.
Six months ago, Silva purchased a plasmid array.
He had it shipped to a warehouse in Brooklyn.
I'm sending you the address now.
[Car door closes]
Silva's unit is number 21.
I already walked the perimeter.
No sign of any other cars.
What?
I said yes.
Frank asked me, and I said yes.
And?
You happy?
Yeah. I am.
Good.
Then I am too.
[Cracking]
Watch your step. [Laughs]
Thank you.
Hey...
[Whispering] I think someone's here.
[Door slams]
Hey!
Olivia!
[Grunts] Olivia!
Damn it!
[Beep] (Woman's voice) No signal.
Please try again.
[Creaking]
[Screeches] Aah!
[Coughs]
Where's Lincoln?
Come on, there's got to be something.
There's got to be...
[Clang] Yes!
There are more agents on their way here now.
I think we both know that's not true.
Come on, do yourself a favor and just let me go.
They'll thank me.
The whole world... will thank me.
Thank you for what... Your vaccine?
Is that what you're talking about...
Your vaccine?
For someone who wants to save lives,
you sure don't have much of a problem killing people.
How many did Salk sacrifice trying to get his answers...
Pasteur... In the name of science?
When the sheep died out,
I tried cows, goats, primates.
None of them could host the beetles.
Humans were my only option.
What about stopping the research?
- That wasn't an option? - No.
Because I was too close.
And now...
Now I'm...
My work is... is nearly complete.
Did you ever ask yourself what you're leaving behind?
I have an ability.
I was on a path.
I had a calling,
and the world changed on me.
It simply... changed and robbed me of my legacy.
This... world,
this decaying madness...
Robbed me.
Come on.
[Breathing heavily]
[Beep] This is Agent Lee.
I need a tactical unit immediately at my location.
(Silva) See, the second batch of specimen
were almost mature enough, but not quite.
And then I realized...
A queen can hatch her own eggs.
She can create a legion, enough for my vaccine.
One more human host... to bring the queen beetle to term.
But it's over now, 'cause we know who you are.
You don't understand.
The gestation has already begun.
What did you give me?
What the hell did you give me?
Don't move!
(Olivia) Lincoln.
- Lincoln, don't shoot him. - That's up to him.
No. We need his help.
I've been infected.
Don't worry, Liv.
I'm gonna take care of you.
Down! Now!
Down!
- (Frank) Olivia! - Frank!
Oh, Frank, Frank.
(Lincoln) He dosed her.
Oh, Frank, he made me drink the water.
Somebody bag that glass!
What do we do... to stop the infestation?
What do we do to stop it?
- (Lincoln) Get her to the hospital. - Let me go!
Get her to the hospital. You're running out of time.
Go. Go!
She's been infected with a deadly parasite.
The next ten minutes are critical.
In my kit, there's a vial of metrifonate.
It's an anti-parasitic.
- Liv. - Yeah.
I'm gonna do everything I can. Just hold on.
Everybody out...
Now!
Tell me how to save her.
Oh...
You have one more chance.
[Gun cocks]
(Lincoln) Tell me!
If you want your friend to live,
put down the gun and do exactly as I say.
Aah!
What do you want?
Bring me those panels over there...
And I'll tell you how to save your friend.
[Bolivia groans] (Man) B.P.'S 140 over 90.
Heart rate's elevated.
(Frank) That could just be the adrenaline.
Oh, Frank, my stomach...
(Frank) The anti-parasitic that I'm going to give you is powerful.
It's gonna kill the bugs inside you before they hatch.
Why do I sense that there's a "but" coming?
Because it's a lot for your system to take.
Uh-huh. So what do we do?
I don't think we have a choice.
Hand me the wand.
[Grunting]
Can you zoom in? What do you see, Frank?
I see movement!
Where?
What the hell am I putting together here?
You'll work faster if you don't talk.
I gave you what you wanted.
Now you tell me how to save her.
She doesn't need saving.
I didn't infect her.
- Uh-uh. She was sick. - Not because of me.
She's not the final host.
[Retches] Aah!
Oh!
Syringe is ready.
- Look at me. It's gonna be okay. - Okay.
- Stop! - What?
Take a look at this.
What is it? What is it?
Are you sure?
Look at the beta HCG levels in her blood.
- The picture on the sonogram... - Uh-huh?
You're not infected.
You're pregnant.
[Gasps]
[Groans] I've done it.
The queen is ready.
Uhh...
Aah!
[Wheezing]
Come here.
[Hoarsely] Make sure...
They...
[Wheezes]
Spell my name... right.
[Knock at door]
- Can I come in? - Of course.
What did the doctor say?
That the baby's healthy
and that the, uh... The fall and the adrenaline
triggered some kind of morning sickness.
How far along are you?
[Softly] Frank...
Liv, how long you been pregnant?
Six weeks.
Are you in love with him...
The father?
That's all I needed to know.
Frank.
You... were gonna marry me.
[Ear cuff rings]
[Beep] Hello?
(Brandon) Mr. Secretary,
there's been a development.
I think I might have another way
to bring Peter back from the other universe.
[Knock at door]
Sir.
Forgive my intrusion.
I hope this isn't a bad time.
Please come in.
I heard the news about your pregnancy.
Don't worry.
Your position with Fringe Division will remain intact.
You'll have whatever resources you need.
After all,
you are the mother of my future grandchild.
