WALTER: There is an alternate universe. And in it, another version of us.
NARRATOR: Previously on Fringe:
DECEMBER: You were right. They don't remember Peter.
He was erased. The timeline has been rewritten.
And yet, traces of him continue to bleed through.
Does this remind you of anything? Biological mechanical hybrid.
- They're human. - Heard you got something to show me.
It was powering the new form of shapeshifters.
The ones we've encountered before answered to Walternate.
I was important to you, wasn't I? I mean, the other version of me.
PETER: She is. - Well, I hope that you get back to her.
Clearly, I'm in the wrong place...
...and all the people that I know and love are somewhere else.
Now I just gotta figure out how to get home.
[TOMMY JAMES' "CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
Walter?
Your waffle machine isn't working properly, Peter.
- So instead... - You're talking to me.
I don't understand.
Chocolate chip and banana pancakes. What could be clearer?
Sit.
The sun is a-risin'
Most definitely
A new day is comin'
Good morning.
Good morning, Walter.
I thought you were making waffles.
The waffle iron is broken.
Oh, but you were so looking forward to them.
It's okay.
This is fine.
Being back with the two of you.
This is very, very fine.
WALTER: Don't worry, son.
I'll get this infernal machine working. Then we can have waffles every day.
I just need to adjust.
Walter.
[HAIR DRYER WHIRRING]
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
It's incredible. Astrid, come quickly. You've got to see this.
Oh. Pastries. How nice. Thank you, Astrid.
Hello, Walter.
I have to talk to you about the machine.
Walter, the machine was powerful enough to pop me out of my timeline.
I think it's the only thing that can get me back to where I belong.
And you built the thing. You're the only person who can help me.
That machine is staggeringly dangerous.
- It's capable of destroying universes. - I know.
And maybe I am too.
I have tried to respect your boundaries. I have stayed away, Walter.
But I've gotta get home now.
And you're the only person who can help me do that.
I have been separated from my family.
And you of all people should understand how desperate I am to get back.
The water was still running in the sink.
She must have come to her decision while she was washing the dishes.
What?
I knew almost immediately.
Even before I found the body.
The car's engine was still running.
There was no note. There didn't need to be.
We had just lost our only child.
I should have mourned with her, been there.
But instead I let her grieve alone...
...so that I could focus on finding a way to the alternate universe...
...to save someone else's child.
My actions caused the death of my wife...
...unspeakable damage to two universes.
I lost my career...
...and my sanity.
All because I tried to help another Peter.
I may be the only man that can help you.
But I'm also the only man that cannot help you.
Your office told me you were on leave. You okay?
Uh, yeah. It's just a migraine. I think exhaustion.
Broyles told me to take the day, rest up.
- What are you doing here? - I need to ask you a favor.
Mind if I come in?
Uh, sure.
Please.
[SIGHS]
Ask Broyles to get me permission to use the bridge...
...so I can cross into the alternate universe.
Why would you wanna cross over?
Because I think the machine is my best chance of getting home.
Walter created it, but clearly he's not gonna help me recalibrate it.
So I'm hoping that Walternate will.
Walternate is an untrustworthy son of a bitch...
...who is responsible for sending shapeshifters to our universe.
So, what makes you think that he'll help you?
I really don't have any other choice.
Okay, in any case, Broyles isn't gonna let you near that bridge.
You may have gained some trust here, but to him you're still an unknown entity.
Besides, Peter, they don't know that you exist.
And Walternate is their secretary of defense.
I mean, how are you gonna get to him at the DOD?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
LINCOLN: Hey. - Hey.
I brought you chicken soup. I thought maybe you could use a little company.
- Which I see you already have. - Him.
- Me? - You're how I'm gonna get into the DOD.
Fringe Division reports directly to the secretary of defense.
- Their lead agent... - Is Lincoln Lee.
- Yeah, that could work. - It will work.
All I need is a way to get over to the Other Side.
I'm sorry, what are we talking about?
Here it is.
A Massive Dynamic requisition form?
- What's ltem 317? - It's Walter's portal device.
The one he used to cross over in 1985.
- That's at the bottom of Reiden Lake. - Massive Dynamic recovered it years ago.
It's been in storage ever since.
And you just happened to have this handy?
I've been thinking about crossing over myself. Doing a little recon.
What do you need Walter's device for when you can just cross by yourself?
- When I can what? LINCOLN: Smart.
You were gonna go over, find out what the shapeshifters are after.
See if I can expose Walternate's entire agenda.
- Peter's just given us a way in. - That's not what we're about to do.
I understand that you guys are dealing with dangers from the Other Side.
If we get busted, no way Walternate's not gonna think I'm involved.
I'm gonna lose the chance to get back to my timeline...
...to my people. You gotta understand that.
Of course. Getting you home is a priority for us as well.
So right now this is about you.
Lincoln and I will secure a van...
...and collect the device from Massive Dynamic.
Well, all right then. Let's go get our ride.
Got something on your mind?
OLIVIA: Yup.
- Sure you don't want me to come in? - Yeah.
WOMAN: Okay. I'll be right here if you need me.
[CHUCKLES]
[THUD]
MAN: Let go.
[MEN GRUNTING]
Mom?
WOMAN: Excuse me, officer.
Um, there's inappropriate behavior in the men's restroom.
And my 8-year-old was just subjected to it.
OFFICER: Hey, Transit P.D. Come on out of there.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[BUS HORN HONKING]
WOMAN [OVER INTERCOM]: Mr. Secretary...
... Brandon Fayette is here to see you, as requested.
Send him in.
[DOOR OPENS]
Mr. Secretary. I was told you wanted me to bring you the shapeshifter tech.
You've been working on this for weeks. How much longer will it take?
I'm not sure, but I've identified a signal that we might be able to trace.
It should lead us to whoever is responsible...
...for these new shapeshifter prototypes.
I want you to forward me your diagnostic protocols...
...and leave the disk with me. I'll handle the backtrace myself.
Sir, are you sure? I feel I'm close. I would like to see this through.
I shouldn't have to remind you that I am also a scientist...
...and perfectly capable of completing the task.
No, sir. Of course.
I'll send for you if I need anything else.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
So the guy scales the bus and then jumps 30 feet off its roof?
That's what the witness report said.
Gets a 9.5 for the attempt, but he failed to stick the landing.
KANE: May I have your attention, please?
All Fringe Division and ancillary personnel...
...are required to withdraw from the area immediately.
Excuse me, you wanna tell me what you think you're doing?
I'm Sergeant Elias Kane, Department of Defense.
This investigation is the jurisdiction of military command.
- The hell it is. On whose orders? - The secretary of defense.
All right, everybody. Pack it up, clear it out.
- You're gonna let that happen? - Out of our hands.
We work for the DOD too.
Why would Secretary Bishop remove us from what is clearly a Fringe case?
Ours is not to question why. Ours is just to get the hell out.
[THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT'S "CHANGING" PLAYING OVER CAR RADIO]
I've heard enough about
[PHONE RINGS]
OLIVIA: Dunham.
LINCOLN [OVER PHONE]: I was able to get the equipment. I'll meet you at the theater.
OLIVIA: Great, we'll see you there.
What makes you sure that there's a soft spot between universes in this place?
Well, we've used it before.
In another timeline.
The next part Just got in the way
You were just always talkin'about Changin'
We're still about 40 miles out.
What if I was the same then
It's fine. We still got plenty of range.
The same I always was?
- You all right? - Yeah, I'm okay.
- You really don't have to be here. - No. We have an arrangement.
If something happens and you two can't get back...
...then I have to be here to let Broyles know.
LINCOLN: So this look about right?
Yeah, you look good.
[CHUCKLES]
OLIVIA: Okay. You're clear on everything, right?
What you need to do?
PETER: Are you ready?
[MACHINE POWERING UP]
Just out of curiosity...
...um, if this thing closes while I'm still crossing through, what happens?
Lt'll cut you in half. I killed a guy like that once.
Don't worry. He was a bad guy.
Olivia, thank you.
I owe you one.
Good luck.
You okay?
One piece.
[ALARM WAILING]
Colonel Broyles. Sensors detecting a class three breach.
Impossible. We haven't had degradation since the universes were linked.
None the less, redundant systems are confirming a breach...
...at an opera house in lower Brooklyn.
- Where are Lee and Dunham? - En route to HQ, 10 minutes out.
Notify them of the breach, redirect them. Dispatch an amber team to meet them.
This place isn't all that different from our...
Hey. Scarecrow, come on.
The flying monkeys are coming.
WALTER: Thank you, gentlemen. Bring the body in here.
Sir, may I ask what's going on?
Nothing to concern yourself with.
I need you and your staff to vacate the lab until further notice.
Sergeant Kane. Please stand guard at the door.
Make sure no one disturbs me.
How's it going?
WHEELER: Agent Lee. Good to see you again.
Got a prisoner here I need to transport to Liberty Island.
WHEELER: I don't have any transport order. - No, you wouldn't.
Secretary Bishop wants this one off the books.
We're keeping it quiet for security reasons.
- You think I'm making this up? WHEELER: No, not at all, sir.
- I can call the SECDEF's office. - You speak to somebody there.
They clear it with someone else, who clears it up.
That's three people you included in a classified interrogation.
But you go right ahead. It's your ass, not mine.
I see what you mean.
You know what? I'll send for the ferry.
- Good idea. - I'll just need your Show Me.
Yeah, uh, about that. I had to jump into the East River to catch this scumbag.
- Must have lost it in the drink. - That's fine.
Your handprint will do.
[DEVICE BEEPS]
Well, the ferry should be at the pier shortly.
Agent Lee.
- I'll report your Show Me lost. - Thanks.
I'm impressed. You've quite a knack for deception.
Colonel, we've checked our readings again. They're still negative.
If there was any degradation here, it's gone now.
Copy that. The breach is no longer registering here, either.
LINCOLN: Looks like a false alarm.
- Maybe there was a glitch with the sensors. BROYLES: Maybe.
Recall your team and report back to HQ.
LINCOLN: Dreaming of a life in the theater?
You know, that body at the bus terminal. His face was pretty messed up.
Guy was pancaked by a bus.
I mean his features. They didn't add up.
They were all mismatched. His hair, his eyes, one blue, one brown.
Okay?
You add that to the fact that he ran up the side of a bus...
...then jumped 10 yards and landed on his feet.
I think he might have been a shapeshifter.
You mean those human shapeshifters the Other Side's accusing us of sending?
I guess once the DOD confirms that with the autopsy...
...Secretary Bishop will let us know. - Unless he doesn't.
Their Olivia said he was responsible for these new shapeshifters.
When do you listen to anything they have to say?
She's a paranoid who doesn't trust anyone.
Yeah. That doesn't mean she's not right.
Think. What if the secretary had us removed from the scene...
...so he could cover up his involvement? - Now who's paranoid?
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
Okay, why won't the car start?
Lost? I never reported it lost.
It said the report came from the DOD checkpoint at the pier.
Checkpoint 5. Corporal Wheeler.
Wheeler, I understand somebody there reported my Show Me lost.
Agent Lee?
Once I get in to see Walternate, take off. Head to the opera house.
Before they figure you're not who you say.
You've been there before, their DOD.
It was in your debrief after you showed up.
Walternate wanted me close when working on the machine.
In a secure room. You said that's where he kept his classified files.
If you worked in it, you must know how to get into it.
- Why are we talking about this, Lincoln? - Just tell me where it's located.
Ah, I don't believe this.
- You don't have to be involved. - They're gonna think I'm involved.
- You're about to ruin the best chance... - I didn't come to go back empty-handed.
LINCOLN: Don't move. OLIVIA: Put your hands behind your head.
PETER: Give me a chance to explain.
Look, I know how this looks, but it's a misunderstanding.
Agent Lee, I presume?
We can straighten this out. I have to talk to Secretary Bishop.
Who the hell are you?
[INTERCOM BEEPING]
Yes?
BROYLES [OVER INTERCOM]: Mr. Secretary, it's Colonel Broyles.
You need to know there's been an incursion from the other universe.
We've apprehended two men who are on their way to you.
One is their Fringe Division's Lincoln Lee.
The other man...
...he claims to be Peter Bishop, your son.
- My son? - That's what he said, sir.
We'll attempt to ascertain his real identity once we have them in custody.
Lee and Dunham are convoying the prisoners to Fringe HQ for questioning.
Do you want me to contact the Other Side, demand an explanation?
No.
Tell them nothing until you've had a chance to interrogate these men.
And keep me informed with what you learned.
- This was Olivia's idea, wasn't it? - Doesn't matter much now.
Yeah, it matters to me. I thought I could trust you two.
I get it, Peter. You wanna go home, to your people.
Well, we are fighting for our people.
Whatever these shapeshifters are up to, we have to stop them.
Sorry if I thought you wanted that too.
It's not my fight.
Agent Murphy.
Affirmative, sir. As a matter of fact, I have them in my transport right now.
All right, sir. I understand.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
LINCOLN: What just happened?
We lost the transport.
Agent Murphy, Agent Cole, do you copy?
- Agent Murphy, Agent Cole, respond. COLE: Murphy, what's going on?
Transport 1, this is Dunham. Do you copy?
Agent Murphy, come in.
Where's the locate on that prisoner transport?
Still looking. Stand by.
MURPHY: Get out.
Your cuffs. Take them off.
Make this look like an escape attempt? Like we killed your partner?
MURPHY: Your turn. Let's go.
That call you got, was that Secretary Bishop?
Did he tell you to do this?
He's making a mistake. I just came here to talk to him.
He doesn't understand why I'm here.
It doesn't matter why you're here. I have my orders.
[GUNSHOT]
PETER: We gotta get out of here now.
Give me the gun. Give me the gun.
We're doing this my way now.
ASTRID: You're a hundred meters from the transport.
- Wait. They're on the move again. - What?
Take the next alley. There are two transponders still in the alley.
Okay, you let me out. You stay with the transport.
We got two agents down.
All units, the suspects are headed north down the alley by Franklin and Broadway.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
Out of the vehicle now!
On the ground.
OLIVIA: So where is he?
I have no idea. I told you, he ran.
Agent Murphy's Show Me was used at the subway turnstile 20 minutes ago.
You led us on that diversion so your friend could get away.
Broyles put his description out to Transit and Metro P.D.
He won't get far.
You and your pal murdered two Fringe agents.
Every cop in the city is gonna be looking for him.
Right, that's what happened.
We came all this way to kill two Fringe agents. That's brilliant.
No wonder you're a detective.
Makes a lot more sense than Agent Murphy shooting his own partner...
...then trying to kill you two because somebody called him and ordered him.
So who on our side would want you dead?
Your boss.
The secretary of defense.
So, clearly, in the other universe, I'm a nut job.
What makes you sure it was the secretary on the end of that call?
Our universe has been infiltrated by shapeshifters from your side.
They've killed a lot of people, including a friend of mine...
...for reasons I still don't understand.
And your defense secretary's behind them.
He's obviously got people inside your division working for him.
You take me in, he's gonna see to it I disappear.
Trace the call.
Trace the call made to Murphy. If it leads to Secretary Bishop, you know I'm right.
If our division's compromised, why trust us?
Because of her. Peter said I could trust you.
He doesn't even know me.
Peter said, at the end of the day, you're a good person.
You'd do the right thing.
LINCOLN: Liv?
We'll sort it out at headquarters.
- Oh, God! - I'm sorry. I'm not here to hurt you.
- I have money. - You don't understand.
I just need to speak with your husband.
It's very important.
Peter?
Over the years, my husband has opened my mind...
...to things that I never thought possible.
And still I never thought that...
As soon as I looked into your eyes, I knew.
They, um...
They told me that you died the night that you were taken from me.
And they told you the truth.
I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
I'm not the Peter that you think I am.
I'm from another place.
It's all very complicated.
But I have people there that I care about very, very deeply...
...and I have to get back to them.
That's what got me through it, you know.
I told myself that if another universe exists...
...and there's got to be more...
...then somewhere...
...you would grow up and be happy...
...and fall in love.
Somewhere you would have a life.
Just not here.
That's why I came here. That's why I need to speak to Walter.
- He's the only person who can help me. - Of course. If your father...
If Walter knew that you were here...
...he would do everything he could to help you.
He's, um... He's at work. I'll call the office.
Oh, no, no.
No, I'm sorry, you can't do that. You can't let anybody else know I'm here.
When I crossed over, people who worked for your husband tried to kill me.
What? Why would anyone try to...?
I don't know, but clearly someone thinks my being here is a threat.
Then, Peter, we need to protect you.
Walter has to know about this.
I think that he already does.
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
ELIZABETH: The alarm. Oh, God, I'm sorry.
Before I knew it was you, I hit the alarm.
- Peter, why have you got a gun? MAN: Mrs. Bishop?
[BANGING ON DOOR]
- Give me the gun. MAN: Mrs. Bishop?
Peter, if you don't give me the gun, they will shoot you.
[BANGING ON DOOR]
MAN: Mrs. Bishop, are you all right?
I won't let anything happen to you.
Not this time.
- Don't shoot! Don't shoot. - That's him. Hands in the air.
- Don't shoot. - Step away. This man is dangerous.
- He's killed two Fringe agents. - No.
Anyone who fires on this man will have my husband to answer to.
A mistake has been made.
I need your men to transport us to the Department of Defense.
You heard me. We are going to see my husband.
- He'll have to be restrained. - That's fine.
Walter will straighten all this out. You'll see.
LINCOLN: What the hell is this? - This is where we're holding you.
- It's a maintenance closet. - That's very astute.
No wonder you're a detective.
We looked into Murphy's phone logs.
He did receive a call just before the vehicle disappeared from the convoy.
Like I said.
We're gonna trace the call.
And if it leads back to the secretary of defense, then we can talk.
If not, this isn't the last windowless room you're gonna find yourself in.
Make yourself comfortable. Nobody knows you're here but us.
We're breaking five different general orders right now.
- I hope you know what you're doing. - Me too.
Walter.
It's Peter.
It's a miracle.
Of course it is.
I've dreamt about this moment for so many years.
Now you're actually here...
...standing in front of me.
- Take these restraints off. MAN: Sir...
Take them off.
And then leave us.
I know...
I know that you don't wanna hear this right now, Secretary Bishop...
...but I'm not your son.
I know that.
How could you be?
He came to ask for your help. I promised him you would.
- Would you leave us for a moment? - L...
I'd like to speak to Peter alone.
Just a few moments, please, dear.
All right.
Thank you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I must say, that was a brilliant performance.
You almost looked genuinely surprised to see me...
...which we both know is not the case.
I've known about you for some time.
[BOX BEEPS]
I've been monitoring the intelligence feeds from the other universe.
Yeah, if by "monitoring" you mean spying.
You have a very ill opinion of me.
- Where I'm from, I know you all too well. - Really?
[DEVICE WHIRS]
What do you know?
For starters, I know you've already tried to have me killed once today.
- And why would I do that? - I don't know, Walter.
Maybe you see me as a threat.
They know you created the human shapeshifters.
You're responsible for sending them to the alternate universe...
...in violation of your accord with them.
So you have come all this way to bring me to justice?
No.
Whatever disagreements are between this universe and theirs...
...are none of my business.
I'll tell you exactly what I told them. It is not my fight.
All I want is your help to get me back where I belong.
To get me home.
If you wanna get rid of me, just help me.
If you believe that I am to blame for all those terrible things...
...your decision to come here must have been difficult.
I didn't really have any other choice.
I see.
Well, no one knows more about the burden of difficult decisions than I.
[DOOR OPENS]
Sir, Sergeant Kane said you wanted to see me.
Doctor, come in.
Dr. Fayette, this man is from the Other Side.
He's making serious accusations against me.
He believes, among other things, I am responsible for the shapeshifters...
...that are plaguing the other universe now.
You are my chief scientist.
You know me and my operation better than anyone.
Is it possible?
Is there any way that what he is saying could be true?
I don't see how, sir.
I examined the shapeshifter tech in detail.
I saw nothing to indicate you had anything to do with it, sir.
There. You see?
BRANDON: If I may ask...
[GRUNTS]
Not everything is as it seems.
WALTER: I've suspected for some time...
...that Fayette had been replaced by a shapeshifter.
My men have been following him for some weeks...
...monitoring all of his communications. - What are you gonna do with him?
Interrogate him.
Get what information I can to find out who's behind this.
Earlier today, a State Department employee was the victim...
...of another shapeshifter trying to acquire his identity.
It's become all too clear that elements of our government are being infiltrated.
If you've known this, why haven't you done anything?
Done what, exactly?
If word got out that elected officials and other authorities...
...were not who they claimed to be...
...it would cause widespread panic and society would collapse.
No, trust me on this.
You have to find the shapeshifters, expose them for what they are.
- And how do you propose I do that? - That device seemed to do the trick.
Yes, and I spent weeks convincing myself that Dr. Fayette had been replaced.
And if I had been wrong...
...this tech would have killed a human being.
Why are you telling me all of this?
Because you are the only person I can trust.
You have no alliances to our side or theirs.
I'm telling you this because I need you to deliver a message.
I appreciate what you're up against, but...
- It's not your fight? - Exactly. It's not my fight.
I came here because I needed your help to get home.
The Walter on the Other Side refuses to help me.
But you understand that machine. You share his mind.
You're the only person who you can help me get back.
And I will do everything in my power to help you get home.
But you must go back to the Other Side and tell them that I am not their enemy.
Whoever is behind this is a threat to us all.
I was wrong about you.
You're not the man I thought you were.
You are exactly the man I thought you would be.
Please, do this for me, Peter.
Help us.
Agent Farnsworth traced the call to Murphy's cuff...
...back to an industrial park in the Flatiron District.
The area has been abandoned since the Amber Riots of '06.
- The Flatiron District? - Mm-hm.
That doesn't sound connected to the DOD or Secretary Bishop.
Maybe it isn't, but we should still check it out.
How much longer are we gonna keep Broyles in the dark?
- We're following a lead. - No.
We're chasing the story of a suspect who may have murdered two of our agents...
...and who we locked in a broom closet instead of holding, where he belongs.
- What if he's right? - What if he's not?
We have to tell Broyles something.
Did you process the prisoner into holding?
He's been secured, sir.
But that's not why we're here.
I take it this is about the trace you ran on Agent Murphy's ear cuff.
Agent Farnsworth told me.
You wanna tell me what it is you're looking for?
Uh, well, it may be nothing, but until we know more...
...we would like some leeway on this.
[SIGHS]
Okay. Keep me posted.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
[SIGHS]
[KEYPAD BEEPS]
[LINE RINGING]
MAN [OVER PHONE]: Colonel Broyles. - They're on their way to you now.
Excellent.
We'll be waiting for them.
[IN UNISON] Who are you?
Show me your hands.
How did you...?
Stop doing that.
Who the hell are you?
I have come to tell you something, Olivia.
How did you know my name?
How do you know my...?
[OBSERVER GROANS]
You've been shot?
I came to tell you.
I have looked at all possible futures.
And in every one...
...the result is the same.
[GASPS]
You have to die.
[GASPS]
I'm gonna get you to a hospital.
