Tell me about the first people.
Start with why those books
seem to indicate that you wrote them.
Then move on to what the device
is intended for.
Previously on Fringe...
Whatever is happening between the two universes...
Whatever our fate is,
I'm right at the center of it.
When I touched that device,
it came alive in my hands.
How can you expect me to ignore that?
I asked you
not to work on that device in my lab.
You're playing with fire.
They're working on it
on the other side.
We need to understand exactly what it does.
You are the mother of my grandchild.
Did you get the sample?
So where do we stand?
We've doubled the thickness of the lead shielding
around the machine.
Good. You let me know as soon as the Faraday Cage is completed.
I'm told they're almost done.
You really think this is all necessary?
We're standing underneath a giant lightning rod.
It's unclear what kind of electrostatic discharge
the device may give off.
Good morning.
If you'll all excuse us, please.
Based on Olivia Dunham's DNA profile,
we were able to identify 23 chromosomes
your grandson inherited from his mother
and strip them out.
Of course, that leaves us with only half
of Peter's full genetic profile.
But hopefully that's enough to activate the machine.
How long before we're ready?
It should be within the hour.
Sir, history may never fully know what we've done here.
How we've saved our universe.
I'm proud to be a part of it.
Oppenheimer saved us too.
But at what cost?
He couldn't bear the nightmares--
the screams of all the innocents he had killed.
"Now, I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
Only in our case, that really is true.
We destroyed their world to save ours.
May God have mercy on us.
Hey, Joe, come in.
You know what time it is, don't you, Rich?
Listen, you've got to get up here.
6:00 a.m.
That means I'm having my breakfast right now.
This is serious. You've gotta get up here.
Something's spooking the sheep.
They're going crazy.
All right. I'm on my way.
♪ ♪
I just hit a swarm of locusts!
It's like the blessed apocalypse.
Yeah, well, the sheep are acting like it is.
I tried to round 'em up, get 'em back to the barn,
but they won't budge.
Gimme your walkie.
Everybody listen up.
This is Joe.
I need all hands in the north field.
What is that?
♪ Fringe 3x20 ♪ 6:02 am EST Original Air Date on April 22, 2011
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
Damn it!
Some days you've got it, Donnie,
some days you don't.
I'm gonna go get a cup of coffee.
Good morning, Olivia.
I didn't know you were spending the night.
What a lovely surprise.
Oh, no, the surprise is all mine.
I am going to pop another mushroom frittata into the oven.
I got some morels from the market
with the biggest caps you've ever seen.
Sure.
- Olivia. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
You should get some slippers for when you stay over here.
This house can get very chilly.
Right. Okay.
♪ And some magic mushrooms and they put them in the stew ♪
What time is it?
- It's 6:30 in the morning. - Oh, God.
And, uh, your father
is walking around the house naked.
Oh, yeah, it's Tuesday.
He always cooks naked on Tuesdays.
Is that safe?
Uh-uh. It's not pretty either.
But you get used to it.
Hmm.
I could get used to this.
This is my favorite time of day.
The sunrise,
when the world is full of promise.
Well, that's not.
Oh, my.
A ranch foreman and a farmhand
are confirmed missing,
along with an entire herd of sheep.
Over 500 head gone.
How is that possible?
You tell me.
No hurricanes or tornadoes in the area.
Barometers remained steady.
There's an army base about 20 miles from here.
I thought that too, but we ruled out weapons testing.
Whatever happened here, we didn't cause it.
I wouldn't bet the farm on that.
When did this happen? Do we have a time on the incident?
6:05 a.m., give or take a few minutes
depending on the individual report.
That man owns the neighboring property.
He was outside when it happened. I'd like you to question him.
Sure.
Peter! A hand! Come quickly!
This granite contains quartz crystals.
My electrometer.
Quartz crystals only develop an electrical potential
when they're put under physical pressure.
Extreme physical pressure
caused by a major gravitational event.
Highly charged, of course.
And I suppose you have a theory?
I believe that a vortex appeared above this field,
consuming everything in its path.
My worst fear is realized--
our world is breaking down around us.
Well, let's not jump to conclusions.
I'm not.
Even if that is true, Walter, why now?
What would trigger a vortex?
That's a good question.
This is clearance double a.
I want all unnecessary personnel sent home.
I've issued the bulletin.
All right. How many on duty when it started?
Four. It was a skeletal crew.
And we're sure it wasn't tampered with?
It wasn't. We reviewed the footage.
With all due respect, there's no way.
Get me Agent Broyles.
Yes. Hello, Nina.
Phillip, the machine came on.
Can you hear me?
I can hear you. Go on.
The machine came on by itself, without Peter.
When?
6:02 a.m. there was no warning.
Is that noise the machine?
Tell Walter it's on. He needs to know.
What do you mean, the machine is activated?
Apparently, it powered up by itself.
It appears our assumptions were wrong.
What time did this happen?
Just after 6:00 this morning.
Of course. That's the reason.
The machine activated just after 6:00,
just minutes before the vortex opened.
So you think it caused this?
Yes, and if it's the end of the world...
This is just the beginning.
- Anything? - This is worthless.
Peter.
Up until now, we've been operating
under the assumption that I was somehow
the power source for this machine,
but clearly that was wrong.
You're the only one that the machine's responded to.
You've said so yourself.
And yet it turned itself on while I was 200 miles away.
So how do we explain that?
I think I understand.
The machine's magnetic field is warped in a pattern
I've only seen one other time.
The typewriter that the other Olivia used
to communicate with the other side.
What are you suggesting, Walter?
Quantum entanglement. I'm afraid so.
You think the Walternate turned the machine on over there?
Which triggered a sympathetic response
from the one over here. Yes, it makes sense.
But how? I mean, how could he do that without Peter?
There's not much we do know for sure.
I just got off the phone with Broyles.
Three more reported incidents.
Massive colonies of bats
were spotted above the New Jersey Turnpike.
Mini quakes in Florida.
And in Newton, 30 acres of woodland completely decimated.
All organic life just dead and desiccated
in a matter of hours.
The blight.
At this point, I believe that the events
will begin to increase exponentially.
And there's no way to stop it.
He's won.
Walternate has won.
Oh! It's chilly!
Well, Dr. Marna said two weeks,
and he's three weeks old yesterday.
You worry too much.
Besides, the fresh air's gonna do him some good.
Look at him, just kind of sizing up the world.
He's alert, that one.
You know, it is kind of windy.
So will you humor me?
Here. Oh, nice and warm.
Oh. Let me.
See, it's supposed to be my day off.
Not the first time we've heard that.
No.
Kids, let's go!
We'll be okay if you have to go.
Heh! You are such a nugget.
Oh, I know. Mwah!
I love you.
All right, I'll call you
when I have some idea of what time I'm gonna be home.
Okay. Don't worry, I'll keep him safe.
You just keep the rest of us safe.
Okay.
The Lookers have detected a spatial discontinuity.
Okay. How bad?
Power density spikes
reaching over 3,000 milliwatts per square meter,
and that's 200 meters away from the focal point.
This is a class nine event?
No, it's a ten.
The power spikes are coming from Liberty Island.
The D.O.D. complex.
Charlie and the evacuation teams are en route.
Okay, air quality normal. No need for oxygen. Let's go.
This is Agent Lee.
We're still seeing dangerously high levels.
Understood, Mr. Secretary.
False alarm! Let's pack it back up!
Yeah, stand down. Let's go, come on.
What's going on?
We've been ordered to stand down.
But what about the energy surges?
They're still happening.
Well, did they give you any reasons as to why?
Explanations are above my pay grade.
I think I know who to ask.
Damn it.
No measurable improvement?
Environmental degradation levels haven't changed
since the device was activated.
Reversing this many years of damage
will take longer than a few hours.
Mr. Secretary, Olivia Dunham is here to see you.
Send her in.
Let me know if anything changes.
Olivia.
I'd hoped you brought Henry.
Uh, he's with the nanny.
I'm actually on duty at the moment, sir.
So this is a professional visit?
Fringe Division identified a class ten energy surge
emanating from this complex, which would normally justify
evacuating a ten-mile radius around the epicenter.
There's no danger for the general public.
We've taken proper precautions.
Of course. I wasn't suggesting otherwise.
When I was returning from over there,
you had me steal a piece of tech.
Tech that you said was part of a weapon
that could destroy the other side.
What exactly are you asking, Olivia?
Have you activated that weapon?
Is that what's causing the surge?
That's classified.
What's going to happen to the people over there?
My concern is for the people of our world.
But your son is over there.
I'm aware.
Peter chose to leave.
He chose his allegiance.
I chose to give up my son so that you could keep yours.
Now, if there's nothing further...
So what do we do?
What if we just broke it back down into its component parts?
With the amount of energy this machine is generating,
I don't know what would happen.
The machine is quantum entangled.
It could tear us apart
with the energy from the other side alone.
And is that more dangerous
than vortexes putting holes in our universe?
Walter, our world is tearing apart at the seams.
Still, I'm afraid anything we might do
could have devastating consequences.
I just spoke to Nina. I was right.
They picked up an electromagnetic spike
at 5:47 this morning in upstate New York.
15 minutes before the vortex opened.
Is that how they predict anomalies on the other side?
They also look for odd thermal patterns
and radiation spikes.
I've got Nina tracking all three.
An early warning system.
Well, at least we'll be able to warn people.
And maybe save some lives.
Okay, I'm gonna go to Massive Dynamic
and help Nina with the protocol.
Olivia.
I'll call you when I get to New York.
Can you let me know if Walter comes up with anything?
There's got to be a way to stop the machine.
Perhaps if we encased the entire machine in lead,
contained the energy it's emitting.
Walter.
We both know there's another way.
It makes sense, Walter.
We all thought that I could turn the machine on.
Maybe I can turn it off.
Maybe that's what the drawing means.
We don't know what the drawing means.
If your theory is accurate,
we're running out of time.
And the way that machine responded to me
after I touched it,
it's like it's been calling out to me.
Every piece of data we have about the machine
points to one conclusion.
Somehow, that machine was made for me.
Peter, you could die.
And if we do nothing, we're all gonna die.
"Give him the keys and save the girl."
What?
This is what he was doing. He was preparing me.
Who?
The observer.
He was preparing me
because he knew I would have to let you go.
That I would...
That I would have to sacrifice you
to fix the problems I'd created.
I think this is what I'm supposed to do.
But I can't do it without your help.
Police and fire departments have been responding
to unexplained weather phenomena
up and down the eastern seaboard
for the last 24 hours.
The National Weather Service has released a storm advisory
for the entire east coast.
What do you mean, he's gone? He has to be somewhere.
He didn't just disappear.
There's always a trail. Keep looking.
Yes?
Agent Dunham has arrived.
Oh, good. Send her in.
Nina. We're moving forward as you requested.
I've assembled a team.
I've briefed them on the protocol you outlined.
Okay, good. So where are we in terms of coverage?
Well, I've tasked all of our satellites
to focus on the northeast states.
So this is where the thermal detection is up and running?
Yes, but it's far from complete.
It does give us lead time, however,
if a vortex starts forming in a densely populated area.
What about the electromagnetic disturbances?
We've recalibrated our entire cell tower network
to warn us if any are detected.
And amber?
All right, there we've hit a wall.
We have enough amber
to contain eight, maybe ten events.
But beyond that,
our chemists are having a great deal of difficulty
finding some of the more rare elements.
Without the amber, early detection is irrelevant.
Yes, well...
It wasn't supposed to be this way.
What do you mean, it wasn't supposed to be this way?
I was told on good authority
that if you and Peter were together,
it would all work out.
What are you talking about?
On whose authority?
There's a man that William knew.
I'm not sure where they met.
But he had great confidence in him.
He trusted him implicitly.
He advised me to do the same.
After William went missing, when circumstances warranted,
I would consult with him.
This man knows a great deal about the machine.
And you didn't think it was worth mentioning until now?
No, he said if I divulged what he had told me
that I would never see or hear from him again.
I didn't want to risk losing that connection.
Nina, our universe is breaking down.
If this man has any information about the machine,
then I need to know who he is and what he told you.
You've already met him.
Sam Weiss.
William told me he possessed knowledge
beyond anything I could fathom,
but even I never suspected anything
of this magnitude.
So how'd you find out?
The authors. Anagrams.
I figured it out a few weeks ago.
Even the Hebrew and Russian ones
are phonetic scramblings of his name.
We've been through these books hundreds of times.
So what else does he know?
I think you and I both know that Sam will reveal
only what he wants to.
Not this time.
If you track him down.
We don't have an address for him.
He disconnected his phone, shut down the bowling alley.
Nobody has seen him since.
If there's even a chance that he can turn this machine off,
then I have to speak to him.
I'll find him.
I need the keys, Jeanie.
Catch me.
Jeanie.
Nope.
Jeanie. No.
You're--
I didn't mean it.
Yeah?
Then what did you mean?
I meant that you mean a lot to me.
You're kind of amazing.
Jack.
What?
What is that?
I have no idea.
♪ I see the moon, the moon sees me ♪
♪ shining through the old oak tree ♪
♪ please let the light that shines down on me ♪
♪ shine down on the one that I love ♪
That's you.
Remember this?
Yeah.
That was my first commendation.
Yeah, for dragging my ass out of a class 4 vortex.
Well, you actually owed me 50 bucks,
so I was going for your wallet.
Seems like a million years ago.
You can't do this alone, Liv.
Let me come with you.
As much as I would love to have you watching my butt,
I need you here.
Now if I'm not back tomorrow,
you're gonna take Henry to my mother's, right?
You're coming back.
Yeah, but if I don't,
I need to know that he's safe.
You're the only one that I trust.
You really think Peter Bishop can stop this?
That he can heal both worlds?
I don't know,
but if anyone can change the Secretary's mind
and get him to turn that machine off,
then it's his son, right?
I'll see you when you get back.
Okay.
It's a beautiful night
here at Ebbets Field, bottom of the fifth.
The Dodgers are leading the Expos 2-0.
Is yet to give up a hit.
Agent Dunham, this is a restricted area.
Ten months ago,
the Secretary brought Peter Bishop back
from the other side.
How?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Maybe if you just put the gun down.
Lie to me again and I'll shoot you in the knee.
I read the mission logs.
I know that the Secretary developed technology
to cross between universes and bring back Peter Bishop.
Show me where it is.
Now.
The watch commander patrols this area
every five minutes.
It's every 12, actually. Nice try.
You realize this is never going to work, right?
I did not ask for your opinion.
The technology you want never made it out of the test phase
because it breaks down the molecular cohesion
of the person crossing over.
The Secretary took a huge risk using it once.
In some test subjects, even that proved lethal.
I appreciate your concern. Now open the door.
This stuff is not organized.
You've got five seconds. Four...
Here it is.
One will get you there and back.
If you make it to the other side,
just stay there,
because when the Secretary finds out you're a traitor--
I'll take my chances.
Stop!
There she is!
Put your hands up.
Let's go!
The other side!
Suspect northeast tunnel.
Hold your position!
Show us your hands, or we will fire on you.
Son of a bitch.
What do you want?
FBI.
Seamus Wiles, now that you mention it,
never struck me as an Irish.
Sam Weiss, that makes sense.
Well, he went by a few different names,
but only one of them rented an apartment in Boston.
You're not gonna tell me what he did?
I just need to ask him a few questions.
So long as there's no dead bodies in there.
What? Did he move out?
If he did, he didn't tell me.
Last guy who bailed on the apartment
ended up being a hoarder.
Took me three weeks to clear out the trash.
Here you go, sir.
Do you really think this could work?
That Peter can turn off the machine?
The machine's emitting an energy signature
almost like an electric current.
Peter thinks that
because of his relationship with the machine,
that if he goes into it,
the current will run through him,
creating a kind of a closed circuit.
And if he can complete the circuit,
then he can also break it or turn it off.
What do you think?
Excuse me?
Peter's your son.
As a father, do you think this is a good idea?
It's because of my selfishness,
my inability to let my son go 26 years ago
that this is happening.
My opinion as a father, it doesn't matter.
Walter, it matters to me.
I honestly don't know what's gonna happen, Phillip.
And the current of energy is so powerful.
It's unlike anything I've ever seen.
And the thought of what that could do to my son...
I don't want him to suffer.
You're all set, Mr. Bishop.
Are you sure you don't want me to call Olivia?
If it doesn't work,
she's gonna find out soon enough.
Just tell her that--
Whatever it is, you'll tell her yourself.
Can I get you anything, son?
A sedative? Something to calm you?
- I'm calm. - You're sure now?
I'm okay, Walter.
The techs said they're ready when you are, Peter.
Good luck.
If this works and I save both universes,
I want you to consider me officially retired.
I'll think about it.
We'll be here waiting for you.
Wait. Give me your hands.
What is that?
Electro-conductive gel.
If there's an energy current,
it will pass through the hand holds
and this gel will keep it from burning your skin.
Walter...
I'm okay.
I was never good at letting you go.
This time, you have to.
Son...
I know.
Peter!
Male, 32 years of age,
closed head trauma, possible concussion,
non-responsive.
He suffered a massive surge of electricity.
Vitals? BP 80 over 50.
Pulse 45, regular.
Gail, what's open? Trauma Bay 2.
His blood type is A-positive.
Let's take him to 2. We'll do an MRI.
And you need to do an echocardiogram as well.
You have to wait here, sir.
No, no, no, no, no. You listen. No, no.
You listen to me.
This is my son.
I understand, sir. We'll take good care of him.
Excuse me, miss.
This area's for staff and immediate family only.
I'm looking for Peter Bishop.
He was brought in about an hour ago.
He's a white, 32--
Olivia! She's with us.
How's Peter?
He's still unconscious, but his vitals are stable.
They just-- they can't wake him up.
He's with the doctors now.
Oh, God.
They did an MRI.
They said that there is no apparent brain trauma.
They're just hoping that he's gonna come out of it soon.
What happened?
Peter tried to go into the machine.
It wouldn't let him.
It's like it's protecting itself or something.
Is Walter here?
Yeah.
He's taking it pretty hard.
I don't know my way around here.
Other people, I suppose,
find comfort being in chapels,
speaking to you.
I have no other place to turn.
I asked you for a sign,
and you sent it to me.
A white tulip.
And I was so grateful.
Since then,
in moments of deep despair,
I have found solace in believing
that you had forgiven me.
I was willing to let him go.
I was willing to let Peter die.
I've changed.
That should matter.
God, I know my crimes are unforgiveable.
So punish me.
Do what you want to me.
But I beg you,
spare our world.
Hello, Olivia.
Sam, I've been looking for you everywhere.
The machine is on.
I know. And I need you to take me to it.
Sam, what is going on?
Olivia, you have to trust me now, please.
We don't have a lot of time.
I know this is hard for you.
Oh, you don't know anything about me.
Don't I?
This morning in my office,
you asked how I could be willing to let my son die
to heal our world.
But you understand sacrifice
better than anyone, Olivia.
You were willing to leave your son behind,
to risk your life
for what you perceived to be the greater good.
We're more alike than you think.
I don't understand how killing billions of people
could possibly be
in the interest of the greater good.
That's because you still have the luxury of your ideals.
I have to be pragmatic.
You've put me in a difficult position.
Anyone else would be rotting away in a stockade for treason,
but you are the mother of my grandson.
You'll stay here for your own good until this is over.
