BROYLES: The first attacks were three days ago.
All we know is their heart stopped.
NARRATOR: Previously on Fringe:
WALTER: Does this remind you of anything? Biological and chemical hybrid.
These are different. They're human. And for whatever reason, they don't work.
Walter?
It's all right. The area is completely numb.
- What are you seeing? WALTER: A person. A young man.
OLIVIA: Does he look like this?
BROYLES: A father and son pulled a man from the middle of Reiden Lake.
Whoever he is knows a lot of classified information.
Things no one outside this division could possibly know.
Olivia. Thank God you're here.
Who are you?
[DOOR BEEPS THEN OPENS]
[SCOFFS]
Walter?
Astrid?
[MACHINE BEEPING]
Walter?
Walter.
[OLIVIA GASPS]
- What the hell are you doing? - Sleeping.
One syringe has sodium thiopental.
- Well, that sounds... - It's a barbiturate, yes.
I was going to say dangerous.
Nonsense. And I have the adrenalin to wake me up.
Who sleeps like this?
Well, what choice do I have?
I've been haunted for weeks by visions of a strange man.
And now the stranger is here, in the flesh...
...in our midst, and no one will let me examine him or see him.
I'm kept in the dark, knowing nothing.
How is a man supposed to get some rest with all these uncertainties?
[CLEARING THROAT]
- Is he talking? - No.
He stopped cooperating with us at the hospital.
Broyles moved him to a holding facility in the Federal Building.
He says that you're the only one he'll speak to.
Me?
[DOOR OPENS]
MAN: Hello.
Hi.
Thought you said you hated that sweater.
I thought I'd give it a second chance.
What's all this?
Looks like a cyclone went through here.
I can't find the electric bill.
You okay?
KAREN: Yeah.
You're probably hungry. I should start dinner.
I'll be right down.
[SHOWER RUNNING]
Karen?
[SCOFFS]
What are you doing?
Your face.
Are you sick? What's wrong with your skin?
Karen, what's...?
- Your files, are they in the safe? - What?
Your files, where are they?
MAN: Karen!
Dear God.
What the hell are you?
[IN DISTORTED VOICE] I'm only going to ask this once.
Tell me where the files are.
I don't know what you're talking about.
[SCREAMING]
WALTER: What makes you think there's any basis to his claims?
We were able to obtain a DNA sample from his IV at the hospital.
There's a 99.7 percent probability that this man is, in fact, related to you.
We've discovered another universe...
...there's no reason that there shouldn't be more out there we're yet to find.
Logic would dictate that this man could be another version of my s...
Another version of Peter from a third universe where he didn't die as a boy.
People from other universes don't show up in your dreams.
He asked for my theory.
I never claimed it was flawless.
In any case, how did he get here?
The only way to find out is to ask him.
My thoughts precisely.
We've prepared a list of questions.
This man possesses classified information...
...about our division and all of us.
I wanna know how he got it.
Look, I'm fairly sure I'm not the one best suited for this.
You will be fine, Walter.
We'll be listening on the intercom.
If at any point you wanna leave, you just have to say so.
Hello, Walter.
You don't know who I am, do you?
I know this must be confusing for you.
But something's happened.
And you're the only person who can help me.
- What do you want? - Help me figure out...
...why no one remembers me.
Why you don't remember me.
I'll try.
There are two universes...
...ours over here and another one that's just like it, just slightly different.
The other universe is dying.
Because they're interconnected, ours is dying as well.
- How does he know all this? - You built a machine to save us.
To form a bridge between the worlds so we could work together to heal them.
And you created it so that I was the power source.
Only I could activate it. You told me when I did...
...there'd be consequences. - There is a machine.
But I didn't build it.
I don't know who you are, what your agenda is...
...or why you claim to be my son.
Do you have a son, Walter?
You and Elizabeth, did you have a son?
Yes.
He died.
A long time ago, when he was just a boy.
And then you found another version of him in the other universe.
And he was dying too.
So you crossed over to save him.
Yes. But I couldn't.
What do you mean you couldn't?
The lake where we crossed over was frozen.
The ice broke, we fell through.
I tried to hold onto him...
...but he drowned.
The Observer didn't pull us out of the lake that night?
That must be it, Walter.
- What's an Observer? PETER: It all makes sense now.
That has to be what happened.
I was supposed to die that night, in both universes.
But when I didn't, I became a paradox. Now for the two worlds to heal...
...I had to be deleted.
But if I'm already dead in both universes, then why am I here? How am I back?
Something's gone wrong. Something's happened.
We're finished here. Take me back to my lab. Please. I'd like to go now.
PETER: No. Please. I need your help. WALTER: I want to leave.
Help me figure out what went wrong.
If I'm not supposed to be here, then how am I back?
[PHONE RINGING]
Dunham.
Where are you?
Wanna tell me why you dragged me to a robbery/homicide?
Victim's skin is translucent.
Since Robert's murder, I've been keeping up with police bulletins...
...looking for anything with a similar MO.
I thought we killed the last of these things at the train yards.
Apparently not. Her heart was stopped. Same as the others.
I think the shapeshifter took on the wife's form to get access to the home.
I ran background on the victims.
You are standing in the home of Dr. Malcolm Truss, a research scientist.
He worked at Massive Dynamic, in their biotech department.
- Left the company 10 years ago. OLIVIA: Huh.
Interesting. He was tortured.
So he must have known something the shapeshifter wanted.
- There's grease under his finger... - Fingernails. Yeah, I know.
Not too many bioscientists work at garages.
So this is...?
Mrs. Truss' unlucky boyfriend, Donald Kellen.
Dr. Truss doesn't live here.
They separated a few years ago, but the house is still in his name.
The shapeshifter came here for Truss, didn't find him...
...which means it's still looking. - Problem is, we can't find him either.
After they separated, uh, Dr. Truss went off the grid.
We're still trying to pull an address.
Well, we should hurry on that.
[MALCOLM HUMMING]
Sebastian.
SEVEN [AS NADINE]: Malcolm Truss?
You're Dr. Malcolm Truss? You worked at Massive Dynamic, correct?
Okay, look, I don't know who you are, young lady.
But I suggest you leave. You're trespassing on priv...
I'm gonna need your help.
Hey, Olivia, this photo, the girl with the riding ribbon, is that you?
- Yeah. - Okay.
You're gonna have to do better than that.
Why does Nina Sharp have your photo in her office?
After our mother died, my sister and I were due to go into the foster system.
Instead, Nina pulled some strings and we went to live with her.
So the acting CEO of one of the richest companies in the world...
...was your nanny?
Something like that.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Nina Sharp. You must be Agent Lee.
Phillip tells me you're a welcome addition to our team.
Lincoln. It's nice to meet you.
Phillip also told me about the man claiming to be Peter Bishop.
- How's Walter handling it? - Not very well.
Well, that's unfortunate. Is there anything I can do to help?
I don't think so.
Uh, we're here on a different matter, though.
Dr. Malcolm Truss.
He used to work for Massive Dynamic, but he left the company 10 years ago.
Name doesn't ring a bell. Let's see what we can find.
Ah, I remember Dr. Truss. Graduated MIT in '82...
...came to work for us in 1993, left in 2001.
- What projects was he working on? - Well, several.
If you told me why you're interested in him, I might be a better help.
Uh, he was abducted from his house in Vermont this morning.
We think a shapeshifter was responsible.
NINA: A shapeshifter.
But what would a shapeshifter want with Malcolm Truss?
We were hoping you could tell us.
There was one project Malcolm was working on.
Cellular replication.
It was designed to help patients with extensive tissue damage.
Burn victims, cancer patients, amputees.
It copied the genetic data of the healthy cells of the patient...
...and used it to replace the damaged ones.
Malcolm was in charge of it.
Did it work?
No, he never had a chance to find out.
William shut the project down, citing ethical concerns.
LINCOLN: Ethical concerns.
Yes.
I only bring it up because the project was based on copying human tissue.
Kind of like shapeshifting.
Mm.
SEVEN [AS NADINE]: There are people who think very highly of your work, and you.
- What people? - You don't know them...
...but they know you.
They share your vision. They will pay you to continue your research.
You always bring a gun to a business proposal?
I couldn't take the chance you'd say no.
- We need your help. - Help with what?
I don't know what you're hoping to find in those files.
That work never went anywhere. It's useless.
I was terminally ill...
...stage IV melanoma, when they came to me.
Cellular replication? They did it?
The cancer went into complete remission.
It was a miracle. At least for a while.
But the procedure didn't fully take.
The cells, they aren't stable. My cancer's gone, but I'm still dying.
[SIGHS]
There are no files.
- What? - It's all up here.
I'll do it, Nadine.
I'll help you.
But just so you know, I don't do my best work at gunpoint.
Walter said the shapeshifters that we encountered at the train yards...
...weren't able to complete their shifts. That they were flawed.
And this has to do with Dr. Truss, how?
Uh, well, the, uh, cellular replication project he was working on.
They might require his expertise.
Truss was kidnapped so the shapeshifter could perfect itself.
If the shapeshifter needs Malcolm to fix itself...
...they need equipment, medical supplies. They're on the move.
Malcolm's car was missing from his home.
We put the, uh, plates and car's make out to local P.D.
Well, if the shapeshifter's flawed, it might have something to do with the tech...
...Dr. Bishop pulled from inside the two we killed.
- Maybe that's what's malfunctioning. - I checked with Tech Services.
They don't know what the device is, the purpose it serves...
They're memory discs.
I've seen them before.
Those devices you're talking about, they're memory discs.
- What do you know about shapeshifters? - Quite a lot, actually.
Enlighten me.
- Well, I know they bleed mercury. - Those were the old ones.
What about the new ones? The human shapeshifters?
- The what? - The prototypes. Human hybrids.
Tell us about the memory discs.
Well, they're a lot more than that, actually.
The discs are divided into three partitions.
Cognitive functions, biochemical functions and mission objective.
And you know all this, how?
Because I've decrypted a couple of them myself.
- You think you could do it again? - I'll ask the questions, Agent Lee.
We've been sitting on this tech for weeks.
What's the harm in letting him try?
You about done?
Lincoln has a point. What is the harm in letting me try?
What is it that you're after?
You're not doing this out of the goodness of your heart.
- So, what is it that you want? - I wanna talk to Walter again.
We tried that already. In case you didn't notice, it didn't go so well.
I don't see the point in letting you upset him.
I'm sorry about that.
I was talking to him like he was the man I knew. He's not. He's different.
Just like you are. But I need his help and you need mine.
Anyone have a better idea?
I'll see what I can do.
MALCOLM: I hope you have money.
You're bleeding.
You should wash up. I'll take care of this.
I told you I would help you, Nadine. I meant it.
She's adorable. Is that your little girl?
Yes.
My daughter, Hayley.
That's a pretty name.
Karen, my wife, she always wanted kids.
I was too busy with work.
When that ended, I guess I was just too angry to think about what she wanted.
Still, I guess I'm hoping that one day...
...she'll let me be a part of her life again.
OFFICER: Dispatch, this is Sierra-Two-Four.
I think I've got a visual on that stolen plate they put the BOLO out on.
MAN [OVER RADIO]: Go ahead, Sierra- Two-Four.
Plate reads Five-Lima-Tango-Three-One-Six. Over.
MAN: Yeah, that's the plate. Be advised, the suspect is armed and dangerous.
Stand down and wait for backup, over.
OFFICER: Roger that, waiting for backup. Sierra-Two-Four out.
And, uh, 20 on Pump 2.
- Ready? - Yep.
LINCOLN: Okay, our mystery man is all set up...
...with the device we got off the shapeshifter...
...and I requisitioned all of the equipment he asked for.
Think he's confident he can do something with it?
He seems pretty confident in general.
Olivia. I may have only met you a few weeks ago...
...but I know you well enough to know that this guy's gotten to you.
You didn't ask me to take him that tech because you had a dentist appointment.
He was in my dreams and now he's here.
I can maybe understand why he would be in Walter's head...
...if he's some iteration of his son, but why mine?
We got a hit on Truss' plates. Two hours from here.
Rutland, Vermont.
OLIVIA: Truss comes in at 11:53 a.m.
- Pays for his gas in cash, alone. LINCOLN: Not the behavior of someone...
...being held against their will. Seems more like an accomplice.
Unless he doesn't know he's with a shapeshifter.
SEVEN [AS NADINE]: People I work for built this lab...
...according to the specifications in your file.
Automated tissue microarrayer, blood gas analyzer, centrifuges.
I think you'll find we've everything you'll need.
MALCOLM: This is amazing.
The artificial tissue has adapted remarkably well.
Considering the extent of the grafting, it's lucky your body didn't reject it.
The fact that you're even alive is nothing short of a miracle.
Then I suppose that would make you a miracle worker.
After all, the grafts were based on your research.
I never thought I'd say this...
...but I wish William Bell were alive.
Just so he could see you.
I truly believed that the work that we were doing...
...was going to change the world.
And just like that, Bell shut down the project.
And all he could say was:
"Some things are not ours to tamper with.
Some things are God's."
One man shouldn't stand in the way of progress.
Not even William Bell.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
Well, the good news is I've found the source...
...of the cellular degeneration.
Your genome isn't fully propagating through the artificial tissues.
Can you fix it?
I had hoped this day would come.
Yes, I can.
Hello, Walter.
Nina.
I'm probably the last person in the world you want to see right now.
But Olivia said you weren't doing so well.
This man claiming to be your son, Walter...
If there was ever a time to get past our differences...
...it seemed like now.
I'm fine. The man is a scientific anomaly. Nothing more.
Walter, you're making Peter's favorite dessert.
I find that baking custard calms me.
Seeing this man has brought up many things I've tried to forget.
That night at the lake, you begged me to stop but I couldn't.
I couldn't watch Peter die. Not again.
I couldn't stand by and do nothing.
- Walter... - I've hated you.
For 25 years, I hated you. Had you not been there...
...the vial wouldn't have broken, I would have healed Peter on the other side...
...he wouldn't have fallen through the ice.
I blamed you for the death of my son.
I blamed you.
I couldn't live with myself.
Because you were right. I'd crossed the line.
For the sake of one life...
...I destroyed two worlds.
Over the years, I've come to terms with the fact that I deserve to be punished.
- To suffer. - No.
Walter, you're not that man anymore.
I've watched you.
Working with Fringe Division...
...you've done everything in your power to heal the damage.
I saw him, Nina.
The man.
I saw my boy in that man's eyes.
The way he looked that night in the ice...
...floating away from me.
God help me, I saw the eyes of my boy in a man's face.
And it filled me with indescribable joy.
But I don't deserve joy.
For anyone else, this would be received as a miracle...
...to get a glimpse of their dead son...
...but why should I be rewarded for what I've done?
Because maybe you've suffered enough. No, I can't explain it, Walter.
I don't know why he's here, I don't know where he came from...
...but maybe you've just been given a second chance.
I was told you found something.
- It's a DNA sequence. - Meaning what, exactly?
Meaning I found six distinct genetic profiles...
...on that memory from the shapeshifter tech.
These things are able to switch between every single identity they've ever taken.
That's going to make it more difficult.
It's gonna make them impossible to find.
New models do a lot more than take on the appearance of another person.
They replicate their victims to the molecular level.
Including every last strand of DNA.
You're saying these shapeshifters will be completely indistinguishable...
...from whoever they're impersonating? - They're the perfect infiltrators.
By transforming their DNA, they can become anyone.
If they perfect this technology and they can get close to us...
...they can replace any one of us.
And short of performing surgery to find those memory discs...
...you would have absolutely no way of knowing.
Okay.
You should lie back.
You may feel a little nauseous.
[GASPING]
Nadine?
Okay.
What the hell?
What is it?
Why do you look like my wife?
You said you were going to help me, Malcolm.
And you will.
Get me Broyles. Now.
- Progress? - This thing is broadcasting...
...some kind of signal. - To whom?
That's the problem. Can't break the encryption without...
...a significant increase in CPU cycles. - Meaning?
I need a bigger computer.
Just like old times. Sort of.
How long is this gonna take?
PETER: Not long at all.
- Those are coordinates. - To what?
Could you pull me up a map of the city?
What do luxury cars and shapeshifters have in common?
They both have LoJack systems, apparently.
You saying these things have tracking devices?
Whoever's in charge wants to keep an eye on his agents.
That's the one that you guys have, the one that we hooked up.
There are two different sets of coordinates being broadcast.
- That's by the port. - Think you found our shapeshifter.
For the time being. Whoever's monitoring...
...they're gonna know I breached. They could shut down.
We should move.
[COUGHS]
MALCOLM: How did you do that?
Why did you look like my wife?
My offer was sincere...
...to continue your research with people who'd provide the resources...
...to complete you work. - What people?
- Why did you look like my wife? - Malcolm.
- It's not important now. - Why did you look like my wife?
Malcolm.
Great progress requires great sacrifice.
Your work created me.
Malcolm, you need to step back and see things objectively as a scientist.
You let go of Karen long ago for a greater purpose.
Don't let that all be for nothing.
I'm offering you something precious.
An opportunity to take back what William Bell took from you.
Your legacy.
It may be possible...
...to alter the compound...
...to accommodate...
...multiple genomes.
How?
We need to induce a state of permanent hyper-replication.
[GRUNTS]
- What are you doing? - I'm...
...adding a bonding agent.
I'm familiar enough with biochemistry to know that restriction enzymes...
...would fragment my DNA and trigger a massive internal hemorrhage.
Aah!
[GASPING]
Finish what you started. I won't ask again.
Okay, we'll take front. You go on my signal.
How much longer?
Five minutes for the centrifugation process...
...and then we'll know if the serum's complete.
OLIVIA: Team one in position. MAN: Team two in position. On your go.
OLIVIA: I got her.
Oh, my God.
She's headed for the roof.
[GUNSHOT]
[POLICE SIRENS WAILING]
Uh, this is Agent Dunham.
Agent Warrick is down, we need paramedic on the roof now.
She jumped.
Mr. Truss?
Agent Olivia Dunham.
Uh, I understand that it's been a long day.
We're just gonna need a statement from you...
...and then an agent will take you home.
What that...
...thing said about Karen...
...it's true, isn't it?
She's dead.
H.P.D. Found your wife in her home this morning.
I'm so sorry.
It's my fault.
"Some things are not ours to tamper with."
Excuse me?
It's something someone said to me once.
I didn't understand it at the time...
...but I do now.
LINCOLN: Dunham.
Excuse me.
The dive team, they just found a body.
OLIVIA: That's not our shapeshifter.
That's Agent Warrick.
Get dispatch on the line.
We need all available units on that ambulance now.
Agent Dunham. I have those hourlies you asked for.
Thank you, Jill.
I sent the reports to Broyles, so all the paperwork is done.
Thanks.
We're gonna find her, Lincoln.
I mean, look at how much more we know now than we did this morning.
Yeah.
Do you wanna go get a bite to eat or something?
No. Uh, thank you. I, um...
I'm gonna head back to the hotel.
- Good night. - Night.
Agent Dunham. I have those hourlies that you asked for.
Uh, didn't we already do this?
- I'm sorry? OLIVIA: You already gave me the...
- Agent Dunham, are you all right? - Yeah. Ha, ha.
Just a little tired, I think. Thank you.
[DOOR BUZZES]
- Are they feeding you? - Yeah.
Walter, I know how strange this all is.
How hard it must be for you.
But I don't know what to do.
Nobody remembers me here.
Olivia looks at me like I'm a stranger. Like she's afraid of me.
I know what you're capable of.
I need your help, Walter.
To fix this.
Every day...
...for the past 25 years...
...l've tried to imagined what you would look like as a man.
My son.
But I don't deserve this. I don't deserve you.
I realize now. This was my punishment.
You were sent to tempt me.
To see if I would repeat the mistakes of the past.
- You shouldn't be here. - Walter, no.
Wherever you came from, however you got here, it doesn't matter.
- I can't help you. - Walter, you don't understand.
I tried to help a boy, a version of my son, 25 years ago.
But that boy was never my son.
And neither are you.
