Fringe (2008–2013): Season 3, Episode 8 - Entrada - full transcript

Peter grapples with the aftermath of recent events as Olivia desperately searches for an ally. Meanwhile, the Fringe Team discovers a critical device that communicates between universes.

NARRATOR:
Previously on Fringe:

Whatever they needed from you,
they have it.

It's not safe for you here anymore.
You have to go home.

- You know who you are, don't you?
- What happens now?

WALTER:
She can move between worlds.

If we can learn what she already knows...

COL. BROYLES:
We can defend ourselves.

- What if her new identity doesn't hold?
- Then she'll no longer be necessary.

COL. BROYLES: What about our Agent
Dunham? Has she made contact?

WALTER: She's on the Other Side,
focused on the task at hand.

- Good night.
- Good night.



(BUZZING)

MAN (ON TV):
He's dead.

PETER:
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Hello?

Walter, is that you?

I can hear you breathing.

WOMAN:
Is this Peter Bishop?

Yes.

I'M calling from New York.

I know this is gonna sound crazy...

...but I just saw a woman disappear
in front of my eyes.

- Who is this?
- Her name was Olivia.

She has a message for you.
She's trapped in the other universe.

(LINE CLICKS)



Who is it?

Apparently I'm eligible
for unprecedented savings.

Unprecedented savings at midnight?

Well, it's never too late for savings.

Apparently not.

I think you should save
their number...

...and call them back
when they're sleeping.

- Blocked.
- Oh.

What you doing?

Just sending an e-mail.

At 2:15?

Well, it's not 2:15 in Greece.

Thought I'd catch up with a friend
in Corinth.

- You got a friend in Corinth?
- Yeah.

And like he always says:

(SPEAKING IN GREEK)

What does it mean?

It means, "Be a better man
than your father."

His dad's not great at communicating,
so we have that in common.

I vowed I'd stay in touch.

Ah. I'm going back to bed. You coming?

Be right there.
Just gonna grab a glass of water.

Okay.

I failed the test, didn't I?

What did it mean?

The Greek phrase.

It meant exactly what I said it meant.

But it was Olivia who said it to me,
not some friend.

How'd you figure me out?

Had something to do
with that phone call, didn't it?

How'd you do it?

How'd you replace our Olivia?

You were with us when we came back
from the Other Side, weren't you?

You have a lot of questions.
I understand.

But you can understand
that I can't give you the answers.

This from the woman standing in front
of me in pajamas who just shared my bed.

I guess answers
is where you draw the line.

It's not realistic to think that
I wouldn't do what I came here to do.

Is this gonna kill me?

Not if you do it right.
Five cc's should be enough.

So why are you here?

What was the assignment?

That's all right. I
wouldn't tell me either.

Because if you're telling the truth
and this doesn't kill me...

...the last thing you want me to have
is information.

You gonna come after me?

You gonna kill me?

No, I'm gonna get answers.

And if I find out
that you did anything to Olivia...

...then I'm gonna kill you.

The effects of the paralysis
will wear off in a few hours.

(GASPS)

WOMAN:
Any nausea?

Yeah. Bit of a headache too.

On a scale of one to 10.

Tequila hangover. Something like that.

Eight weeks
and none of us suspected anything.

Did she give any indication
where she was headed?

- Anything you overlooked?
PETER: Not that I can think of.

PARAMEDIC: I'll get
this to the lab, sir.

- I'd like samples sent
to my lab as well...

...as quickly as possible.

Any luck running that call
that came to my cell phone?

All we know is it was made from
a Manhattan payphone at 12:21 AM.

- No way of knowing who placed it.
- Odd.

It seems Olivia was able to cross over
momentarily, but unable to stay here.

Well, we gotta get her back.
So how do we get Over There, Walter?

Crossing over is out of the question.

Not without Olivia's help.

But there may be something
I haven't thought of yet.

Peter, you said she administered
the paralytic at 2:15 AM.

Now, what were you doing here
at 2:15 AM.?

Olivia called our house.

She thought she heard someone
trying to enter her apartment.

Walter, you don't have to cover for me.

Since we came back from Over There...

...Olivia and I became something
more than friends.

- I see.
- It's perfectly understandable, son.

In the '70s, I innocently wandered
into the wrong home...

...and it was three days before
I realized my mistake.

And unlike Olivia...

...the woman with whom I was sharing
a bed didn't look like my wife at all.

She took the wrong computer.

I searched her computer. She caught me.
I convinced her it was mine.

- What's on it?
- I don't know. It was encrypted.

BROYLES: Hernandez, I want access
to every file on this computer.

OWNER:
That's what they do, isn't it?

They make you wait for them.

I've been waiting for seven years.

Your kind isn't so good
at keeping promises.

But I guess you've got it
all under control.

Agent Dunham hasn't completed
her mission yet.

No, but we can't worry about that now.

We need to provide her
with an extraction point.

Well, sir, last time we swapped
an entire steel bridge with you on it.

The principle is the same.

You simply need to narrow the harmonic
field to focus on something smaller.

A single person. We'll use the girl.

We've gotten all we need from her.

And obviously
they have equivalent mass.

Pull your team off what they're doing.
I need a time and a location for Dunham.

Alive or dead?

Do you wanna send back their Olivia?
Alive or dead?

Because I feel there are very
valuable parts for study.

And I would just have to replace
their mass.

He's ready for you.

Someone helped her get past our patrols,
onto this island.

Whoever the traitor is,
they don't understand our goals.

To save our world from destruction.

Our people, our families.

I know that you know this
as well as I do, Phillip.

For the past 20 years,
our world has been breaking apart...

...because of what they did.

And now with what we've discovered
about how that girl crosses over...

...we're about to turn the tide.

Only one world can survive.

And finally we have made strides
so that it can be ours.

Our Olivia will be returning shortly.

Her mission Over There was a success.

To her safe return.

OLIVIA:
No, no, no. Please, no.

Please, no.

Please, please, please, help me.

Let me go.

So far, despite his obvious eccentricities,
Dr. Bishop has been very helpful.

BROYLES: And Peter?
- He's been helpful too. I like him.

So this is how she learned about us.

Anything in there about how she
communicates with the Other Side?

So far, besides Olivia's debriefs,
just files on all the cases we handled.

I'm a fraud. A failure.
Four hours of intense meditation...

...augmented by a precise two-gram dose
of Brown Betty and I've got nothing.

There is no way to cross over safely.

I'm afraid I have failed you. I am sorry.

And I have failed Olivia.

Walter, you haven't failed us or her.

(DOOR OPENS)

Any news?

So far, our task force has recovered
17 pieces of Walternate's device.

The other Olivia used her clearance...

...to access the aircraft hangar
where they're being stored.

She took this.

That's why. Walternate couldn't find all
the machine's pieces on the Other Side.

So he sent her here to retrieve it.

BROYLES: But if her mission is complete...
- She may be going home.

Not only may Walternate
complete this device...

...but if we lose her, we lose our chance
to use her to get Olivia back.

Dr. Bishop, any thoughts on how
she would cross to the Other Side?

No. Nothing.

And I have no idea how to bring
our Olivia back.

It's all because of that temptress.

She tricked my son
with her carnal manipulations...

...and he fell right into her vagenda.

Vagenda?

Like Mata Hari using her feminine wiles
to accomplish her evil ends.

And I, too, fell prey.

She used my stomach...

...to get through to my heart.

Hey, Walter.

Didn't she tell you
she brought these back...

...when she went
to the Federal Building?

This bakery is in the Bronx.
Why would she go there?

- She must know somebody there.
- Let me see that address.

You want new legs?

There's one more thing
I need you to do for me.

So why would she be coming here?

Let's split up
and show her picture around.

I'll take the pastry shop.

(BELLS JINGLE)

- Help you?
PETER: Yeah, I hope so.

I'm looking for a woman who frequents
this area. You seen her before?

No, can't say as I have.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Typewriters, huh?

Seems like a high-rent area
to be selling something so retro.

People come from all over the city.

I specialize in stuff
that's hard to find.

Yeah, I can see that.

Can also see my computer right here.

Hey, they promised me new legs.

- How does it work?
OWNER: I don't know.

No, really, I don't. They just come here.

It's a quantum-entangled telegraph.

A machine that could communicate
between universes. Fascinating.

Well, if it works anything
like a normal typewriter...

Penn Station in Newark.

(EASY-LISTENING MUSIC
PLAYING ON STEREO)

Oh, no, no, no.
Your money's no good here, sir.

Times are tough.
It's nice to know we have heroes.

Thank you.

I wanted to come and see you.

Thank you for not giving me up.
You easily could have.

How's your son?

He's sleeping through the night again.

We owe that to you.
I want you to know that I realize that.

Is there anything I can do
to make you more comfortable?

That's not why you're here.

You're here to make yourself
more comfortable.

Maybe.

Do you know
what they're gonna do to me?

Why I have these marks
on my forehead?

They're sending me back.
They're gonna swap me for your Olivia.

But they're gonna kill me first.

They're gonna cut out my brain...

...and study it.

Please, help me.

If you can get me out of here,
I can get myself home.

I can't.

My world is dying because
of what your side is doing to us.

- If I help you escape...
- No.

Despite what you think,
my universe is not at war with yours.

This all began because a man
came over here to save a boy.

And 25 years later,
I came back to save that same boy.

But if you let me die, then we will
strike back and we will fight.

But if you let me go...

...both universes can survive.

There must be another way
and I promise you I will find it.

Two floors up. There's a lab there.

If you can get me in there,
then I can get myself back home.

And if you're lying?

You'd say anything right now
because your life depends on it.

But what if your side has every intention
of our destruction?

Am I supposed to just hope
you're telling me the truth?

If you don't trust me...

...then there is no hope.

(DOOR OPENS)

I'm sorry.

Please. Please.

DIANE:
So are you gonna tell me?

Or are we gonna keep on pretending
that there isn't something on your mind?

I have a decision to make.

Okay.

Remember when I joined
Fringe Division?

Mm-hm.

Two weeks into the job,
we had that vortex in the East River.

A hundred and sixty-five people
swallowed up. Half of them kids.

But now we may actually have a chance
to start to put our world back together.

Only thing is, to do that,
we're gonna have to go to war.

A lot of lives would be lost.
An unimaginable number.

And I don't know if I could live with that.

There may be another option,
but it could put everything at risk.

Either way, who am I to play God
with other peoples' lives?

Who am I to make that choice?

Twenty years ago, I knew that you were
the right man to protect our world.

After all these years,
I've never stopped believing that.

I think this world has seen
as much pain as it can stand.

We need to restore hope.

Tell your people she's armed,
but she has to be taken alive.

She may be the only chance
to recover our agent.

OFFICER (OVER RADIO): Understood, sir.
- Good. I'll call you when we get close.

Dr. Bishop, any thoughts?

Several.

Not many of them pleasant, however.

BROYLES: I meant, do you have any idea
why she's headed to Penn Station.

Do you think she's trying to cross
to the Other Side? Is there a soft spot?

No, not as far as I know.

Peter, we'll get her.

And we're going to bring Olivia home.

Glad you're feeling so confident.

She was strong enough
to get us a message.

And if there were anyone I would bet on
to survive Over There, it would be her.

Spin her.

What's her heart rate?

BRANDON:
Sixty, resting.

Should I give her more sedative?

No. If her heart rate lowers any more,
we won't be able to preserve her organs.

Why don't you go prepare the coolers
in the receiving room?

(SAW WHIRRING)

(DOOR OPENS)

Excuse me. You're not allowed to be...

(SILENCED GUNSHOT)

BROYLES: We don't have much time.
We have to get out of here.

Come on, get up.

- You came back for me.
- Don't thank me yet.

- I have to give you adrenaline.
- Oh, no, please, don't do...

(SCREAMS)

- Man, that hurt.
- I'm sorry.

Don't be.

- The ground floor. What's there?
- The lab.

- They have a deprivation tank.
- That'll help you cross over?

Yeah. It's something to do with
the lack of sensory input.

What is it?

I'm not positive
but I think it's Cortexiphan.

What's that?

Long story. If I'm right, it's why
they stopped their experiments on me.

They found what they needed. It could
help your people cross over to my side.

They emptied the tank.

I can't cross over.

(ALARM BLARING)

(ALARM BLARING)

- Come on. We have to go.
- No. You've done enough.

If I can get to the other side
of the island, I could swim for it.

I've done it before.
I've gotta get to Boston.

- What's in Boston?
- The Secretary has a lab at Harvard...

...like my Walter Bishop
on the Other Side.

Your Walter has a tank,
so you think the Secretary had one too?

They're genetically identical. They think
alike. I can't think of anything else.

They've changed the harbor patrols.
You'll never make it.

But I can get you there.

Come on.

Hello?

MAN (OVER PHONE): Sir, there's been
an incident at Liberty Island.

What kind of incident?

Olivia Dunham is gone.

BARISTA: Here you go.
Best coffee west of the Passaic.

- You want cream and sugar?
- No.

You can keep the change.

LUKE: Some things are gonna be hard
to leave behind.

Come on. Time for you to go home.

You know, I sometimes dream about it.

The Other Side.

Sadly, for my kind,
coming here is a one-way ticket.

I thought your kind didn't care.

Give me your right hand. Palm up.

Eight identities in the last five years,
but this has been my favorite.

I seem to be a big hit with the ladies.

You may wanna close your eyes.

(GROANS)

- Have you spotted her?
- No.

There are six entrances to the building.
We've got a team on each one of them.

Don't shoot yourself.

No gun for me.

Good idea.

Okay. Turn around.
Lift up the back of your shirt.

Let's split up. You three with me.

The transfer is scheduled for 4:00.
That's in precisely 23 minutes.

Oh, I'm sorry. I know you're cleaning,
but I really have to...

Dunham. Freeze.

(CROWD SCREAMING)

I got her.
She's in the northwest bathroom.

She's in there with another guy.

I want two teams. One from the west
and one from the east.

Put your guns down
or I will shoot her.

Put your guns down
or I will kill her.

Put them down.

Oh, my God. Mom. Mom!

- Don't you make me kill her.
- Mom!

What's your daughter's name?

Your daughter's name. What is it?

(CROWD GASPS)

Mom!

BROYLES:
Drop your weapon now!

Take her.

Where is she?

Where's Olivia?
Tell me how we get her back.

I don't know.
That wasn't part of my assignment.

Whatever happens to me, I want you
to know this started as an assignment...

- ...but it became...
- Something more.

That would be so much easier to believe
if you weren't in handcuffs right now.

OFFICER: Mr. Bishop.
- Yeah?

We found this in the bathroom.

No sign of the component she stole.

Thank you.

So, what do we do now?

Okay, I think that's it.

OFFICER:
Move in. Go, go, go.

On point.

(CLATTERING NEARBY)

- They're here. How did they find us?
- Subcutaneous tracker.

I'm too important to lose.

Look, I've seen war.
But if what you're saying is true...

...in the end, I have to believe in hope.

Please, make this worth it.

Go.

(GUNSHOT)

OFFICER: Colonel Broyles, you are
under arrest. Where's the girl?

Freeze. Don't move.

She's in the tank.

Open it up.

(CLATTERING NEARBY)

Olivia?

Olivia. Oh, God.

I want a three-car escort, half-mile
buffer zone all the way to Boston.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

WALTER: Mm.
PETER: "Mm," what?

These look familiar.

PETER:
Familiar how?

I don't know yet.

(HIGH-PITCHED RINGING)

E minor. It's pretty.

- That was Astrid. Olivia's back.
- She's what?

She crossed over into your father's lab.

They're in an ambulance
to Boston General.

- Why Boston General? She okay?
- She had some kind of seizure.

- I'm going to see Olivia.
- Peter.

- Walter, just stay...
- No. I remember why this is familiar.

They're harmonic rods.

Like Belly and I used to use
to help objects cross between universes.

- This was found in their Olivia's bag?
- Yes.

Broyles! Broyles, stop.

I don't think you wanna see this.

Hey, Liv.

Check this out. No more pain.
No more burns.

I'm as good as new.
It's like nothing ever happened.

Just like nothing ever happened.

Ha.

ASTRID:
Excuse me, agents.

Have you seen Broyles?
He's late to work this morning.

Have you tried calling him?

Yes, I tried calling him. At home too.

His wife said he did not come home
last night and that is very unlike him.

I've never been a big fan of needles.

Doctors, needles, hospitals.

Make a fist.

You know, when you're a kid
and you're sick, you know, you just...

You come to hate them all.

(GRUNTS)

Go ahead. Try them out.

That's it?

Only one way to find out.

(CHUCKLES)

Thank you.

Thank you.

Peter.

I'm sorry, Olivia.

Don't apologize.

You were the only thing
that got me through.

If it wasn't for you,
I would never have made it back.

You saved my life.
