Épisode Jacksonville S02E14 - Fringe Saison 2

Dans le Manhattan de la réalité alternative, Ted Pratchett et Pauline Hess sont en train de travailler sur une forme architecturale, discutant de la réserve de vrai café de Ted importée illégalement d’Hawaï, et réexaminent leurs plans pour l’annexe du Pentagone. Une série de micro-secousses font trembler le bâtiment. Ils s’en plaignent, mais remarquent aussi que les infos avaient dit qu’elles étaient sans danger. Pauline rentre chez elle, et une autre secousse fait de nouveau trembler le bâtiment : très forte cette fois-ci. L’électricité est coupée et Ted est jeté au sol. Quand il reprend conscience, il découvre que son corps a fusionné avec une poutre du bâtiment et le corps de quelqu’un d’autre.

Olivia appelle Peter et Walter et leur dit qu’il y eu un évènement Fringe majeur dans Manhattan. Quand ils arrivent, Broyles explique ce qui s’est passé et qu’ils n’ont trouvé aucun survivant. En allant à l’intérieur, il est clair que le bâtiment a fusionné, d’une manière ou d’une autre, avec un autre bâtiment, et que les gens à l’intérieur ont subi le même traitement, fusionnant les uns avec les autres et des parties du bâtiment. Walter suggère qu’une sorte de tremblement de terre subatomique a eu lieu, redistribuant les molécules de tout ce qui se trouvait à l’intérieur, humain ou non. Pendant qu’ils sont en train de parler, les paramédicaux trouve Ted, tout juste en vie ; Olivia essaye d’obtenir des réponses de sa part et il décrit les micros tremblements. Personne n’a ressenti de micros tremblement dans la zone. Ted leur demande de contacter sa femme, mais Broyles affirme que Ted Pratchett n’a pas de femme. Réalisant ce qui s’est passé, Walter parle à Ted et lui fait décrire les évènements du 11 Septembre. Quand Ted dit que la Maison Blanche a été détruite, ils se rendent compte qu’il vient du monde alternatif. Alors que Ted commence sort son dernier souffle, ils repèrent une bosse sous sa chemise. En l’ouvrant, ils découvrent… un autre Ted. Seulement la tête, par contre. Les deux Ted meurent, et Walter avoue que ce qu’ils viennent de voir est la conséquence de la fusion d’un même bâtiment avec son double de l’autre dimension.

Walter fait envoyer les corps au labo et Astrid n’arrive pas à s’en occuper. Walter la fait travailler sur les preuves matérielles et elle découvre une pièce avec Richard Nixon et un modèle réduit de voiture à double étage. Walter comprend ce qui s’est passé, et ce qui doit inévitablement arriver par la suite.

Olivia rencontre Broyles et lui explique que Bell l’avait prévenue du fait que Newton essaierait d’ouvrir une porte entre les dimensions. Ils vérifient les photos de surveillance et confirment que Newton et ses soldats changeurs de forme se trouvaient sur le site les jours précédant l’évènement, déguisés en travailleurs. Walter demande à Olivia de retourner au labo et explique que lui et Bell avaient mené une expérience de transposition dimensionnelle 25 ans auparavant. Le résultat fut qu’ils envoyèrent une voiture dans l’autre dimension. Une autre revint, à moitié incrustée dans la statue du campus. Walter explique qu’il doit toujours y avoir un équilibre, et ainsi un échange égal de masses. Puisqu’un bâtiment est venu sur cette Terre… un autre disparaitra bientôt.  Les objets transposés ont une signature énergétique, un scintillement, et Walter et Bell faisaient des expériences sur les enfants avec du cortexiphane pour leur donner la capacité de voir ce scintillement. Olivia fut la première et la plus douée de leurs sujets tests, mais elle lui fait remarquer qu’elle ne peut plus voir ce scintillement aujourd’hui. Walter conclut qu’elle a bloqué cette capacité, et qu’ils auront besoin de la restaurer pour trouver le bâtiment appelé à disparaitre. Cependant, il insiste sur le fait qu’ils doivent se rendre au centre de soins de Jacksonville, en Floride, où lui et Bell menaient leurs expériences.

Olivia vérifie et découvre que Bell avait acheté la base militaire contenant le centre de soins, et que la propriété appartenait aujourd’hui à Massive Dynamic. Elle demande à Broyles de commencer a traquer les incidents sismiques, et il accepte que Nina Sharp utilise les ressources de Massive Dynamic pour détecter les secousses. Il se demande si elle va revivre l’expérience une nouvelle fois, et Olivia avoue qu’elle n’a pas vraiment le choix.

L’équipe arrive au centre de soins, qui est abandonné depuis longtemps. Ils vont dans une salle de classe et Walter demande à Olivia de trouver les objets transposés de la collection éparpillée à travers la classe. Elle les regarde mais n’est pas capable de voir quoi que ce soit. Walter s’apprête à recréer l’expérience et trouve une salle remplie de chaises où les enfants étaient tenus. Pendant que Walter trouve son ancienne paire de lunettes  et les essaye, Peter sort dans la cour de récréation et parle à Olivia. Elle dit ne pas se souvenir de cette partie de son enfance malgré son excellente mémoire. Walter sort et leur dit qu’il est prêt. Il branche Olivia et explique que lui et Bell pensaient que les sensations accrues pouvaient améliorer les perceptions spéciales. Il lui injecte du cortexiphane et explique qu’elle va subir une hallucination. Dedans, une sorte d’obstacle unique apparaitra devant elle. Le confronter augmentera les signes de vie d’Olivia et par la même sa perception spéciale.

La drogue prend effet et Olivia se retrouve dans une forêt. La lumière disparait rapidement et le vent se lève ; elle trouve une petite fille de dix ans assise par terre. La fille refuse de faire ce qu’ « ils » lui demandent de faire. Olivia essaye de la réassurer mais un bruit effrayant émerge des bois. La fille s’enfuit et Olivia part à sa poursuite. Quand elle rattrape la petite fille, elle lui dit que tout ira bien. Cela semble aider et la fille dit que son nom est Olive, et Olivia réalise que la fille est elle-même. Les yeux de la fille commencent à briller et Olivia sort brutalement de son hallucination. Walter insiste sur le fait qu’ils ont réussi, mais Olivia se demande comment il a bien pu infliger ce genre de terreur qu’elle a vu chez elle étant enfant. Walter insiste sur le fait que c’était nécessaire et qu’ils ont besoin de confirmer le succès de l’expérience. Olivia examine la salle de classe une fois de plus mais est incapable de voir le scintillement des équipements transposés.

Les gens de Nina sentent l’activité sismique de Manhattan. Elle appelle Broyles, qui informe Olivia. A Jacksonville, Olivia trouve Walter regardant des enregistrements d’Olivia pendant les expériences. Il explique que quand elle voyait le scintillement, cela déclenchait un épisode psychique qui allumait le feu à la salle. Il insiste qu’ils essayaient d’aider les enfants en leur donnant des capacités spéciales, mais Olivia n’est pas impressionnée. Walter réalise que la re-création a échoué car Olivia n’est plus une petite fille effrayée, et qu’elle transforme sa pur en colère. Il la prévient que pour retrouver le bâtiment et sauver tous ceux qui s e trouvent à l’intérieur, elle devra retrouver cette peur et l’utiliser. Elle regarde les alentours et trouve la pièce où elle avait déclenché l’incendie, des années plus tôt. Quand Peter la retrouve, elle avoue qu’elle n’a plus peur aujourd’hui.

Le trio retourne à New York et se rendent chez Massive Dynamic. Nina les prévient que les micro-secousses augmentent et qu’ils seront bientôt à court de temps. Ils compilent les images satellites pour essayer de trouver le bâtiment, et Peter propose son aide pour les aider ; Lui et son père rencontrent le scientifique de Nina, Brandon, qui essaye de trouver un schéma. Walter l’avertit qu’il n’y a pas de schémas et que les objets transposés se changent de façon aléatoire. Cependant, Peter pense que les items qui disparaissent sont de masse égale aux items ayant provoqué le déséquilibre. Walter est d’accord et commence à calculer la masse des bâtiments de New York City afin de trouver ceux correspondant au premier bâtiment. Ils réduisent le nombre de possibilités à 147 bâtiments, et Broyles prévient Olivia que certains d’entre eux sont des hôpitaux. La perte de vies causée par une évacuation d’urgence pourrait bien causer plus de morts que celle causée par la disparition du bâtiment, et il avoue que s’ils ne trouvent pas le bon bâtiment, ils ne peuvent pas ordonner d’évacuation de masse.

Peter travaille avec les ordinateurs pour améliorer leurs performances quand Olivia arrive pour le voir. Elle est bouleversée que son incapacité à redévelopper sa perception spéciale condamne de nombreuses personnes à mort. Peter essaye de la réassurer et ils commencent à s’embrasser… et Olivia se rend compte qu’elle est maintenant terrifiée parce qu’elle est en train d’échouer. Elle monte sur le toit et regarde la ligne d’horizon de New York, et voit un immeuble scintiller près de la rivière. Elle conduit jusqu’au bâtiment et informe Broyles et les autres en route. Ils confirment qu’il s’agit du Braysen Place Hotel et ordonnent une évacuation. Olivia arrive alors que le sol commence à trembler.

Elle aide le dernier homme à sortir, le directeur de l’hôtel, mais le bâtiment disparait et le vortex menace de les engloutir. Olivia attrape un lampadaire et le directeur l’attrape. Elle s’accroche suffisamment longtemps pour que le vortex disparaisse. Ils découvrent qu’un énorme cratère se trouve à la place de l’hôtel.

Plus tard, Broyles et Olivia regarde un reportage d’infos sur l’incident, que le gouvernement a transformé en effort de démolition. Quand il demande pourquoi elle avait finalement regagné sa vision spéciale, Olivia suggère que c’était juste le bon moment.

Peter appelle Olivia et arrange un rendez-vous aux chandelles, puis demande à Astrid de venir jouer au Monopoly avec Walter. Walter est heureux d’entendre qu’ils sortent ensemble, bien que Peter insiste sur le fait que ce n’est qu’un diner. Quand Olivia arrive, elle regarde Peter… et sa vision spéciale la laisse voir que Peter vient de l’autre Monde. Réalisant ce qu’elle a vu, Walter lui parle en privé et lui demande de ne pas révéler ce qu’elle sait à Peter.

Manhatan - Working Late

(a group of alternate universe business people work into the evening at Dodst & Rathje Architecture Ltd.)

PAULINE HESS: Hey. Thought you were getting out of here.

TED PRATCHET: Afraid not. It's gonna be a late one.

PAULINE HESS: Wait a second. Is that -- is that real coffee? Where did you get that?

TED PRATCHET: I don't know. I have my sources.

PAULINE HESS: Aha.

TED PRATCHET: I've got a cousin in Hawaii. She has a secret stash. She sends me stuff every - (building shakes) - this is getting nuts. What is that, six since yesterday?

PAULINE HESS: Yeah, well, I'm from California, so I'm used to it, you know?

TED PRATCHET: But this is New York. Don't you think it's strange?

PAULINE HESS: Hmm.

TED PRATCHET: What are they saying on the news?

PAULINE HESS: That they're just these little quakes, you know? Microquakes. Probably just some byproduct of global warming. Well, see you tomorrow. Oh, and if you, uh, have any extra coffee... call me.

TED PRATCHET: Good night, Pauline.

PAULINE HESS: Night.

(the building shakes harder, Ted covers his prized real coffee, car alarms sound outside, dust and debris fall from the ceiling. his coffee spills onto a set of engineering plans to rebuild the New Pentagon Annex IV. lights shatter. pipes erupt. all of the tremors stop. Ted recovers... pierced in the shoulder by a metal beam and pinned to the floor. Ted is not in his universe anymore - he has collided with this universes' Ted. four arms... four legs... the works)

ACT I

Bishop Residence - Call To Duty

(2:03 AM and Peter wanders downstairs with the phone to his ear)

PETER: You've got to be kidding me.

OLIVIA: Congratulations, Mister Bishop. (on the phone, putting on her work shoes at her home) You've just won an all-expense-paid trip to New York City.

PETER: I thought I told your people to take me off your contestant list. (pouring coffee in kitchen)

OLIVIA: Not according to our records. (putting on jacket) It says here that you're a fan of fine dining and excitement.

PETER: Do you have a supervisor? Anybody there I could complain to? This has to stop.

OLIVIA: Did I mention there's excitement?

PETER: (enter his fathers' sleeping area) Walter, wake up. We just won an all-expense-paid trip to New York City.

WALTER: That's fantastic. (delighted at the good news) I've never won anything before.

Manhattan - Inspecting The Building

WALTER: (sitting in the back of the vehicle as they approach) An earthquake in Manhattan. It's possible, but highly unlikely. Perhaps a small comet.

OLIVIA: Any witnesses?

BROYLES: (driving the vehicle) Witnesses outside felt the ground shake, but no one saw what happened.

OLIVIA: (after they park among the emergency vehicles and exit the car) What about the people inside?

BROYLES: Emergency Services secured this entrance into the building, scouring the place for survivors.

PETER: How many did they find?

BROYLES: Zero.

OLIVIA: (staring up at the exterior of the five-story brick building) It looks...

WALTER: ...rearranged. Extraordinary.

OLIVIA: (after entering and searching with flashlights, two faces fused together) Oh, my God.

BROYLES: I don't suppose you have any idea what could have caused this?

WALTER: Quantum tectonic event would be my guess. Until now, this phenomenon has just been theoretical.

BROYLES: A quantum tectonic event?

WALTER: Well, yes. Imagine a sudden momentary disturbance at a subatomic level. The energy disperses the atoms, literally tearing the very fabric of reality itself.

PETER: Meaning that all the atoms come apart, but when they reassemble, they come together all wrong.

OLIVIA: So what are the odds of something like this occurring naturally?

WALTER: Oh, it's possible. But if so, God has a far more disturbed sense of humor then even I could have imagined.

FIREFIGHTER: We've got a survivor.

PARAMEDIC #1: Third floor! Let's move!

(all personnel race up the stairwell, passing mangled corpses as they go)

PARAMEDIC #1: He says his name is Ted Prachet.

TED PRATCHET: Help, please.

PARAMEDIC #1: (to the man impaled by a metal beam) Hold still, sir. It's important you try not to move, okay?

TED PRATCHET: Please help.

PARAMEDIC #1: I don't know if we can cut him loose from that beam. He might not survive.

TED PRATCHET: Call my wife. Someone please call my wife. I just want to hear her voice.

BROYLES: Mister Pratchet, I'm Special Agent Broyles with the FBI. This is Agent Dunham. We're going to do everything we can to find your wife and get you out of here safely. (to Olivia) I'll call this in.

OLIVIA: Mister Pratchet, it would help us a lot if you could describe what happened here.

TED PRATCHET: Tremors. Just like the other ones. Then a really big one that just kept getting worse. (struggling) I'm so thirsty.

PARAMEDIC #2: He can't drink anything. Maybe some ice, but no liquids.

PETER: I'm on it. (as Walter examines the damaged artwork on the wall)

OLIVIA: Mister Pratchet, did anything unusual happen before the disaster? Maybe someone in the building who shouldn't have been here.

TED PRATCHET: No. Just the same things everyone saw. Yesterday, the dogs all started howling. Then all those little tremors. The microquakes.

PETER: Did you hear about any tremors in New York? (as Walter examines a blueprint for the New Pentagon Annex)

BROYLES: (returning to Olivia) Ted Pratchet doesn't have a wife, and it appears he never did.

OLIVIA: Makes sense. Trauma from his injuries. He must be delirious.

WALTER: I don't think so. (to Paramedic) Excuse me, Miss. Thank you. Thank you. (to Prachet) Sir... what year is it?

TED PRATCHET: Two thousand ten.

WALTER: Good. Good.

OLIVIA: (warning) Walter...

WALTER: And who is The President?

TED PRATCHET: President Obama.

WALTER: Mm-hmm. Good. Good. Good, good. Now, I'm sorry to do this --

PETER: (intervening) Walter. Hey, Walter. What's the point of this?

WALTER: (cautioning) Peter. (to Pratchet) I'm sorry about this, but it is very important. On September the eleventh, when the terrorists struck, which buildings did they attack?

TED PRATCHET: The Pentagon.

WALTER: Uh-huh. And...

TED PRATCHET: (dying words) The White House.

WALTER: I think I know what happened here.

OLIVIA: (moving lump under Pratchet's shirt) Walter, what is that?

(opens the shirt and sees the face of Ted Pratchet from Manhattan as it gasps for air and dies)

WALTER: (after closing two sets of eyelids) My theory was wrong. This wasn't a quantum event at all. We're standing in two buildings. One of which comes from the alternate universe.

ACT II

Manhattan - After Daybreak

WALTER: (standing outside the damaged structure) I've asked them to send Mister Pratchet's bodies back to the lab. Maybe they'll provide some insight into how this thing happened.

OLIVIA: I already know how this happened.

WALTER: Oh?

OLIVIA: Two universes colliding. This is what William Bell warned me about. He said that Newton would try to open a doorway from our universe to the other side and that when it happened this would be the consequence.

PETER: Two objects trying to occupy the same space at the same time.

OLIVIA: This was Newton. I'm sure of it. He was here.

Walter's Lab - Autopsy

ASTRID: Walter, I don't think I can do this. I've seen some pretty disturbing things in my time working with you, and I think I've handled them pretty well, but this... I can't do.

WALTER: Awful, isn't it? Those boxes over there have evidence from the building. You can go through them.

ASTRID: Thank you. Alright, so what am I looking for?

WALTER: Anything that looks like it doesn't belong.

ASTRID: Okay. I think this qualifies. Richard Nixon on a silver dollar.

WALTER: That's disturbing.

ASTRID: So when you separate them, Walter, how are you going to tell them apart?

WALTER: Mister Pratchet from over there was married. He was wearing a wedding ring.

ASTRID: So as far as his wife will ever know, he just disappeared? That is so sad.

WALTER: Yes, it is.

ASTRID: Wow. Look at this. It's a double-decker car. Does this mean that they drive these over there?

WALTER: I suppose so.

ASTRID: What?

WALTER: I know what Newton did. And I'm afraid I've just remembered what's going to happen next.

Federal Building - Security Camera

OLIVIA: Newton. He was there. This was taken two hours before the incident. He and his men disguised themselves as a construction crew.

BROYLES: So how do we find him?

OLIVIA: We're running down VIN numbers. We're looking into equipment rental, but I would like to take a crew back to New York.

PETER: It's Walter. Hey.

WALTER: Peter, I need you back at the lab. Agent Dunham as well.

PETER: Walter, we're right in the middle of something.

WALTER: Don't argue with me, son. Get back here now, both of you.

Walter's Lab - Scrap Book

PETER: That is what's so important?

WALTER: This happened almost twenty-five years ago right here on campus.

PETER: I know. I've heard this story before. M.I.T. students fused a car to the statue of John Harvard. It was a prank. They had to cut the car away. They never figured out how they did it.

OLIVIA: This wasn't M.I.T. students, was it? This was one of your experiments?

WALTER: When Belly and I first tried to generate a stable door between universes, our first test subject was a car -- Belly's old Monte Carlo -- and it did not go well.

PETER: First times are always sloppy.

WALTER: It wasn't our first time. Eleven minutes after we successfully made the car disappear, this car appeared from another reality.

PETER: How do you know that wasn't just pulled from down the block?

WALTER: It was in 1986. The car had a CD player. It wasn't an option at the time.

OLIVIA: Okay, assuming what you're saying is true, why? I mean, how did the car appear?

WALTER: The universe seeks balance. We sent a car over there, so a car of equal mass came back. Now, a building from the other side appeared here. The laws of physics demand both sides of the equation balance. I calculate that a building from this side will be pulled over there, inhabitants and all... within the next... just under 35 hours.

OLIVIA: Okay, so how do we stop it?

WALTER: That's the thing, Agent Dunham. We can't.

OLIVIA: Okay, then we need to evacuate the building. So how do we identify which building it's going to be?

WALTER: Well, the one thing that Belly and I learned from our experience is that when objects from the other universe cross to our side, they have an energy. Someone once described it as a glimmer. I believe that in the moments before the event when the fabric of the two universes is rubbing together, that the building on this side will begin to take on that glimmer.

PETER: So then we'd be able to see it?

WALTER: Well, unfortunately, no. It's not visible to the human eye.

PETER: Then how the hell are we going to find it, Walter?

WALTER: We can't, Peter! But you can, Agent Dunham.

OLIVIA: How can I see it?

WALTER: Because you saw it once before.

ACT III

Walter's Lab - The Glimmer

OLIVIA: Walter, when did I see things from the other side?

WALTER: Twenty-six years ago when you were a little girl. The Cortexiphan Trials. As I've said, the drug worked on perception. Of the thirty children that William Bell and I experimented on, you were the first with the ability to identify things from the other side. We gave you the ability.

PETER: Walter, you were conducting illegal drug trials on children. Don't make that sound like charity work.

OLIVIA: Was it me who described it as a glimmer? Well, I can't see it anymore.

WALTER: Because I believe you stopped wanting to. When you did, there were consequences, but I was able to elicit the ability once. I believe I may be able to do it again.

PETER: Don't be ridiculous. You're not experimenting on Olivia, and besides...

OLIVIA: ...Okay, I'll do it.

PETER: Olivia!

OLIVIA: We don't have time, so just tell me what it is I need to do.

WALTER: First, I need a plane. I need to go to Jacksonville to the lab where Belly and I first conducted the Cortexiphan Trials. It's a daycare center you attended as a child. I should be able to recreate the procedure there.

PETER: Walter, Jacksonville's a thousand miles away.

WALTER: It's a thousand sixteen to be exact, not counting the trip to the airport.

PETER: Look, Walter, I'm sure whatever you need, we can get it here.

WALTER: What I need is in Jacksonville! Jacksonville is where the process worked. If I am able to do it again, it has to be there.

Federal Building - Supervisor Approval

BROYLES: A building in Manhattan is just going to disappear?

OLIVIA: Yes, that's what Walter believes.

BROYLES: What makes him think whatever he needs to trigger this ability of yours is still inside the facility in Jacksonville?

OLIVIA: When William Bell founded Massive Dynamic, he bought the building and the entire military base it was sitting on from the government. He shut it down and closed it off. I believe that everything is still inside.

BROYLES: And you're sure you want to do this? Submit yourself to Doctor Bishop's experiments?

OLIVIA: I don't see another choice.

BROYLES: Then how can I help?

OLIVIA: The events that Ted Pratchet said led up to the incident -- the dogs howling, the small earthquakes -- Walter thinks that they will likely occur again and that we can use them to infer when it's about to happen.

BROYLES: I'll contact Nina Sharp, ask to her to have Massive Dynamic enlist their Geologic Division to track any seismic activity.

OLIVIA: Thank you.

BROYLES: And Dunham... stay in touch.

OLIVIA: I will.

Jacksonville - Daycare Center

WALTER: Five... twenty... ten... I always use the same combination, though I can't remember the significance. Come. Do you see anything?

OLIVIA: Like what?

WALTER: Sixteen items in this room... are from the other side. Perhaps if you look a little closer. Come. Go ahead.

OLIVIA: Nothing.

WALTER: Well... we should get started. I was hoping to avoid this.

OLIVIA: I have a freakishly good memory. I remember everything. But not this. There's just nothing that's familiar.

PETER: Maybe that's a good thing.

WALTER: You just about ready? You may want to change into something more comfortable. Perception is largely an emotional response. How we feel... affects the way we see the world. And so Belly and I reasoned that extreme emotions would stimulate this perception, that acute feelings of fear and love or anger would heighten the awareness. Open the mind, as it were. The drugs help, of course.

OLIVIA: Is that Cortexiphan?

WALTER: Start the I.V. drip, please, and lift up.

PETER: You sure you want to do this?

WALTER: Oh, wait! Right arm. No, left arm, left arm. When you're under, the drugs will generate an obstacle. I can't tell you what it will be. It will be uniquely yours. Do you understand?

OLIVIA: I think so.

WALTER: It will make more sense when you're under. The point is this. That facing that obstacle will elevate your emotional state. Much as running on a treadmill will elevate your heartbeat. And then when I've got you to the proper level, well, then I'll pull you out, okay?

OLIVIA: I am singing in the rain.

WALTER: Oh. The drugs are working fast. Perhaps it was the right arm.

PETER: What?

WALTER: She'll be fine, Peter. Peter... would you turn that around? Thank you. Olivia, I want you to open your eyes. Olivia, can you hear me? If you can hear me, open your eyes. Where are you?

OLIVIA: I'm in a forest. I can see very tall trees.

WALTER: That's good. That's good, Olivia. Theta rhythms are normal. Stable neocortex active. It's working.

OLIVIA: There's someone else here.

PETER: Is she alright?

WALTER: No, but she's not supposed to be. In my bag, Peter.

PETER: Yeah?

WALTER: The pretzels.

PETER: Pretzels.

OLIVIA: Hey. It's alright.

YOUNG OLIVIA: Please. I don't want to do this anymore.

OLIVIA: You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. Wait! Hey!

PETER: Walter?

WALTER: Shh. She's close.

OLIVIA: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! It's okay. Shh. Shh. Shh.

YOUNG OLIVIA: Please. Make them stop. Please make them stop it.

OLIVIA: It's okay. I'm here now. Nothing can hurt you. It's okay. That's better. What's your name?

YOUNG OLIVIA: Olive.

POSSESSED YOUNG OLIVIA: Olivia.

OLIVIA: Ah!

WALTER: Good news. It worked.

OLIVIA: What the hell is wrong with you? You did this to little children?

WALTER: We should get to work.

ACT IV

Jacksonville - Daycare (cont.)

WALTER: Anything?

OLIVIA: Nothing. Now what? Should we find some more kids to scare?

WALTER: I have no idea.

NINA: Phillip, it's me.

OLIVIA: (answers cell phone) Dunham.

BROYLES: It started.

OLIVIA: Okay.

WILLIAM BELL: Is she okay?

WOMAN: She's fine.

WILLIAM BELL: Hell, do we know what triggered it?

WALTER: (on video) Obviously she was upset, William. It's okay. It's alright, Olive.

OLIVIA: That's me. What happened?

WALTER: This was the first time you saw the other side. You were frightened. Started a fire with your mind. It should have worked. This is the very sort of thing that William and I were preparing for.

OLIVIA: You abused us, Walter -- me and those other children.

WALTER: No, we -- we were trying to help you. We were trying to make you more than you were.

OLIVIA: Is that what you were doing? Or were you searching for answers to questions that you shouldn't have been asking in the first place?

WALTER: I was a different man then.

OLIVIA: I was a defenseless child.

WALTER: Yes, you were. Yes, you were. Olivia, I think I'm starting to understand why the process didn't work. You are different. You're not that frightened child anymore. I thought all we needed was a heightened emotional response from you, but I was wrong. We needed a specific one. Fear. And you're not capable of that anymore. Well, not like she was. What we did to you -- you found a way to protect yourself. You channeled your fear into anger, which is why you are so good at your job. But if you want to save those people, you have to find your way back to that scared little girl.

OLIVIA: And how do we do that?

WALTER: I don't know.

PETER: Hey. Is this a part of Walter's test? Are you alright?

OLIVIA: No. I'm not afraid of anything anymore.

ACT V

Massive Dynamic - Nina's Office

NINA: Let me know if anything changes. Four tremors in the last two hours. Most recent measured two-point-six.

BROYLES: They're increasing in frequency.

OLIVIA: I'm sorry.

BROYLES: You didn't send that building over here.

PETER: So what's Plan 'B'?

BROYLES: We're compiling data. Trying to predict where the next incident will take place. Satellite images, seismic activity, weather patterns.

PETER: You need a fresh set of eyes?

NINA: Yes. I'll take you to the lab.

BROYLES: We've still got time.

Massive Dynamic - Geologic Division

BRANDON: We've been plotting the epicenter of each microquake looking for some sort of pattern.

PETER: Can you regress any of the data points?

WALTER: It's a waste of time. Useless attempt to impose order on random, meaningless data. Tried the same thing twenty-five years ago when the car came over, and tried to tell them why. Why there? Why'd it land in the middle of the Quad? The answer is there was no answer.

PETER: Except mass. The two cars. You said they were the same mass.

BRANDON: Okay, you two have something going on? Do you want to fill me in?

PETER: Walter seems to think that the two universes have to be in balance. So a building from over there travels over here. That means a building over here of exactly the same mass has to travel back.

BRANDON: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Raiders Of The Lost Ark. he bag of sand and the idol.

PETER: Not the metaphor I would have used, but, yes, exactly.

WALTER: Do you have a pencil?

BRANDON: I have a pen.

WALTER: I need satellite data and 3-D imagery to calculate the cubic feet. I'll also need a comprehensive list of all building materials used during construction.

BRANDON: For every freestanding structure in New York City?

WALTER: Oh, I think we can rule out the Empire State Building.

OLIVIA: Hey, Peter. Anything?

PETER: Good news. We have a plan.

BRANDON: Okay, he can eliminate the three buildings in Tribeca, because they're way too big.

PETER: Are they lofts?

BRANDON: Yeah, why?

PETER: Lofts have no interior walls. Even though one of the buildings might be bigger, they could be the same mass.

BRANDON: Yep.

OLIVIA: Okay, well, the guys downstairs on the supercomputer are crunching numbers on the first six buildings, but it's gonna take some time. What else can I do to help?

WALTER: It's time. It could happen any moment now. Olivia...

OLIVIA: ...how many buildings are we down to?

BROYLES: A hundred and forty-seven buildings spread out all over Manhattan. Three hospitals, a cancer treatment center, a nursing home.

OLIVIA: The NYPD and the Fire Ddepartment have a standing evacuation protocol. With our help, they could clear most of those buildings...

BROYLES: ...the evacuation itself would kill a lot of these people. Not to mention cause a city-wide panic that might kill thousands more. The largest building on this list has, what, five hundred people?

OLIVIA: So you think we should just let the building disappear? Let those people disappear?

BROYLES: There are times when the only choices you have left are bad ones.

PETER: Hey, I figured if I could shut down all the non-essential functions, I can make these things run faster.

OLIVIA: It's too late. I failed. I failed and I'm supposed to be the one who can stop things like this.

PETER: Olivia. You... I've never met anyone who can do the things that you do.

OLIVIA: Peter. I'm scared.

PETER: Don't be. What?

OLIVIA: Peter, I'm scared.

ACT VI

Manhattan - Saving Souls

OLIVIA: (it was in the West Village, near the Hudson, I think. I couldn't see exactly where.

PETER: Was it near the piers?

OLIVIA: Yeah, a couple of blocks from the river.

BROYLES: Were there any landmarks? Other buildings nearby there?

OLIVIA: Yeah, that new tower, the one near the elevated tracks.

BROYLES: The High Line.

WALTER: Still too many potential candidates.

PETER: Whoa! whoa! Hey, Olivia, we need you to narrow it down --

OLIVIA: I'm trying. Okay, I see it. It's on Washington.

WALTER: Peter, there was a hotel on Washington.

BROYLES: What do we have on Washington?

PETER: No, he's right. Brayson Place Hotel. 13th and Washington, number's right there.

BROYLES: Call Chief Solomon at the NYPD. Call the Fire Department, and -- hello, yes. This is Special Agent Phillip Broyles with the FBI. You need to evacuate everyone from the building immediately.

OLIVIA: Is everybody out?

HOTEL MANAGER: I think so.

OLIVIA: I guess it's safe to say that you've got the rest of the night off work.

Federal Building - Aftermath

TV ANNOUNCER: ...not a single casualty when hundreds miraculously escaped what Federal authorities an unscheduled controlled demolition at the Brayson Place Hotel...

OLIVIA: The conspiracy nuts are gonna have a field day.

BROYLES: You'd be surprised what you can make the General Public believe. You saved a lot of people.

OLIVIA: We all did.

BROYLES: Dunham... this ability you've demonstrated... what finally activated it?

OLIVIA: I think it was just time.

Bishop Residence - Evening Plans

PETER: Yeah, Monopoly is great. He loves the colored money. Okay. Thanks again. I'll see you soon. Hey, Walter, that was Astrid. She's gonna come over and play some games with you.

WALTER: Oh... good. I hope she likes Monopoly. Where are you going?

PETER: Me? I'm going out for drinks.

WALTER: Oh, who are you drinking with?

PETER: Olivia.

WALTER: Agent Dunham? A date?

PETER: No, just drinks. Apparently, that's what normal people do. They go out for drinks. If you need to reach me, I'll leave you the number of the restaurant right here, okay?

WALTER: She's here, Peter.

PETER: I know, I heard it too.

WALTER: Shall I get the door?

PETER: Absolutely not. In fact, it would be my preference if you could be someplace else all together.

WALTER: Oh... where?

PETER: Chicago?

PETER: Hey.

OLIVIA: Hi.

PETER: Come on in. I know a great place. It's just a couple blocks away. I thought we'd walk.

WALTER: Agent Dunham.

PETER: I'll go get my coat.

WALTER: Olivia. Please don't tell him.
