Fringe (2008–2013): Season 4, Episode 22 - Brave New World: Part 2 - full transcript

WALTER:
The escalator is infested with nanites.

The longer they're in the bloodstream,
the more sensitive they become.

Causing them to spontaneously
combust.

NARRATOR:
Previously on Fringe:

JESSICA: Am I gonna die?
OLIVIA: Jessica.

- I just want you to focus on me, okay?
- Okay.

[SOBS]

OLIVIA: Walter, what just happened to me?
- Cortexiphan has given you...

...certain kinetic powers.

Jones!

[BOTH GRUNT]



I knew Jones' plan was too ingenious
that it had to have come from Belly.

He's alive, Nina. I'll prove it to you.

ASTRID: Walter.
- What are you folk doing here really?

MAN: Unh!
ASTRID: Walter, come on.

[GUNFIRE]

WALTER:
Oh, no.

I'm not sure I ever thought
I would see you again.

Hello, old friend.

BELL: The Bible tells us God created
his universe in seven days.

[CHUCKLES]

It's taken me considerably longer.

Beautiful...

...isn't it?

Well, I can't wait for you
to see the real thing.



It's going to be magnificent.

As soon as I finish making it.

William. You can't do this. You can't...

It's done, Walter.

The final piece has been set
into motion.

I couldn't stop it now if I wanted to.

And I don't.

As scientists, we're taught that fate
is nothing more than the convergence...

...of a set of probabilities
into one potential outcome.

That there's no such thing
as divine intervention.

And yet, I'd be lying if I said that the
circumstances that brought you here...

...to witness this with me, my
trusted colleague, my dearest friend...

...didn't feel like the hand of God.

There was nothing divine about it.

- I found you.
- Heh, yes, you did.

After all these years.

[DOOR OPENS]

PETER:
Hey, Walter.

Walter?

ASTRID [ON RECORDING]:
You've reached Astrid Farnsworth.

Please leave a message.

Astrid, it's Olivia,
can you call when you get this?

[PETER CHUCKLES]

Whatever Walter was baking,
it didn't turn out too hot.

- You think they went out for breakfast?
- I don't know.

Speaking of breakfast,
I put on a pot of coffee. Want a cup?

Sure.

Here. Please, let me. Heh.

Yes, ma'am.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Talk about what?

The Jedi mind trick you pulled
on me back on the roof.

I can only attribute it
to Cortexiphan.

Liv. Suddenly you are able to do things
you were never able to do before.

- You saved Jessica and my shoulder.
- I don't know how I did it. I just did.

Here you go.

Liv.

When Walter gets back...

...l'd like you to let him run
some more tests.

You got it.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Dunham.
JESSICA [OVER PHONE]: Olivia?

It's Jessica Holt.

- Jessica?
JESSICA: Thank God you picked up.

I'm so sorry,
I didn't know who else to call.

OLIVIA: It's okay. Um, just calm down.
Tell me what's wrong.

I think someone's following me.

- Following you?
JESSICA: Ever since I left Harvard.

Ever since I met all of you.

Okay, where are you now?

JESSICA:
Um, I'm at home.

I sent Sarah to stay at her dad's flat.

Do me a favor. I want you
to lock all the doors and stay inside.

We're gonna be right there.

Heh. Okay.

Thank you, Olivia.

OLIVIA:
Jessica?

Jessica?

Jessica.

Her purse.

Her phone and her wallet,
they're still here.

Take a look at this.

She mention anything else to you
on the phone?

No, just that since she left us,
she felt like she'd been followed.

Liv.

You didn't put this woman's life
in danger.

You're the one that saved her.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Sir.
- Need you to meet me at Boston General.

Agent Farnsworth was just brought in
with a gunshot wound.

- What? When?
BROYLES: The only information I have...

... is that an anonymous call
was placed to 911.

The ambulance
found Agent Farnsworth.

- Well, how is she?
- She's out of surgery in stable condition.

OLIVIA:
Okay, and what about Walter?

You should bring him with you.

We aren't with him.
We thought that he was with Astrid.

ASTRID:
Where is Walter?

Right now, we don't know.

Do you remember
the last time you saw him?

At the warehouse.

We were looking for Bell.

Walter thinks he's still alive.

- What warehouse?
- By the waterfront.

Where I got shot.

You weren't found near the waterfront.

- Well, somebody must have moved her.
PETER: And called 911.

Which means they didn't
want you dead.

Do you know who shot you?

There was, uh, a crew of armed men.

They probably took Walter.

Peter, I tried to protect him,
but I couldn't get him out.

I know you did.

You said you were by the waterfront?

ASTRID:
The corner of 1st and Effie.

Right down by the docks.

There was something going on there.

I heard strange noises...

...animals that I didn't recognize.

They're probably gone.

They realized as soon as she regained
consciousness, she'd tell us.

Still, maybe we can find something.

B.P.D.'s got all the information
on Jessica Holt.

- I'll let you know if we find anything.
OLIVIA: Okay.

ASTRID:
Hey.

Be careful.

But even if Bell is responsible, what
does infecting people with nanites...

...and using the sun's light
to ignite an oil reserve...

...have to do with collapsing two universes
to create a new one?

I mean, how are they connected?

I have absolutely no idea.
Maybe Walter did.

What are you doing here?

I am not here of my own volition.

JESSICA:
Step back from him.

Set down your weapon.

Slowly.

- What are you doing?
- I'm sure many things...

...are racing through your mind
right now.

But none of them are as important
as what I'm about to say.

If you ever want to see Walter again...

...put down your gun.

You work for Bell.

You're here because this is important.
Why don't you do something?

JESSICA:
He can't.

The stasis runes at his feet
keep him stuck right where he is.

Unfortunately for you,
this was a future you didn't foresee.

It seems he's very concerned
about the events in your life.

Doctor Bell said that if we put you
in harm's way, he'd appear.

The day you were infected,
that was intentional.

- You never had a daughter.
- I hate kids.

Now let's see how concerned you are
about him.

They can operate
at hyper-attenuated time.

To us, it almost looks like magic.

It's not though.

It's just tech that essentially
lets them move very, very fast.

Now, this gun is an invention
of Dr. Bell's.

It shoots faster.

Okay, what are you doing?
What do you want?

Please, could you just put the gun down
and talk to me?

He feels no emotion.

Perhaps no pain.

This won't upset him.

But it appears to upset you.

Damn it! Stop.
Just tell me what it is that you want.

Here, can I stop the bleeding?
Can you sit down?

- I cannot.
- Huh?

It is impossible right now.

PETER:
We are in the warehouse. Hurry.

EMTs are on the way.

September, what is this thing?

SEPTEMBER: I am surprised they knew
of this methodology.

It is beyond them.

OLIVIA:
Oh.

- Will you let me check the wound?
- Walter. Uh, Dr. Bishop.

Do you know where he is?

No. I do not.

OLIVIA:
At least now we know how you got shot.

I've seen you shot before.
Just like this.

You came to me at the Opera house.

You said in every version
of the future...

...I would have to die.

I did not.

Or I have not yet.

I suspect I understand now.

The conversation you are referring to
has not yet happened for me.

I must investigate the future...

...and find out what I meant.

I hope...

...I get back to you in time.

[SIREN WAILING NEARBY]

Well, what are we gonna do about
finding Walter? Our only lead is dead.

That doesn't mean
we can't still question her.

PETER:
No, no, no. Not there.

Right here. Right in her thinker.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

How long has she been dead?

PETER: About 25 minutes.
- Quickly.

Use the negative prongs first
or she'll short out.

Start with a trickle of DC
and let it calibrate. No more.

Pretty.

[MACHINE WHIRS]

There will come a time when I'll ask you
how you knew about this technology.

Maintain her body temperature
at roughly 85 degrees.

I'll get the ice packs.

If she knows anything about
what happened to Walter, we will too.

She took a chance on dying at that office
building for whatever her mission is.

She was counting on me to save her.

They used Jessica
to play on my sympathies.

And then they used my feelings
for Peter...

...my fear that Jones would kill him.

William always talked a lot about the
powers Cortexiphan children might have.

But why is he activating me now?

Why is he doing this?

My dear.

You may have a different set
of memories now, but at heart...

...you're still the same girl I knew.

You've always
had incredible compassion.

It was your capacity for feeling...

...that made William and Walter
so sure...

...that you were the perfect candidate
for the trials.

And I don't know what it is,
but William must want...

No, he needs something from you.

Something only you can provide.

WALTER:
Why, William?

Why would you do this?

What can you possibly hope to gain
by destroying both universes?

Walter.

This was all your idea.

Peter died twice. You hated God.

"What kind of God
would cause so much suffering?"

That's what you said.

"So much pain."

You decided to create a universe
that would operate by your rules.

And then when you realized
that you were smart enough to do it...

...you got scared. You asked me
to cut out a portion of your brain.

- No.
- Yes, Walter.

BELL:
We cut those ideas out of your head...

... to literally put the genie back
into the bottle.

Then I grew older.

I grew cynical.

I grew cancer.

I realized that dosing myself
with Cortexiphan would slow it down.

But slowing is not stopping.

For me, it's just a matter of time.
The clock is ticking.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

And that's when it occurred to me.

You were right, Walter.

Walter, you were right, right, right.

Every rant you ever went on
made perfect sense.

Suddenly, I understood not just you...

...but everything.

God made us in his image.

If that is so...

...if we are capable of being gods...

...then it is our destiny to do so.

No. No, William.

My dear friend.

Even if you deny it now,
you have always been playing God.

I am.

Guys, we're ready.

PETER:
Jessica, can you hear my voice?

[MACHINE BEEPING]

[IN DISTORTED VOICE]
I can't... I can't feel my arms.

I can't feel my legs.

Oh, my God.
Why can't I feel anything?

Where is Walter?

What did you do to me?

- What just happened? Did she faint?
- That's not possible.

She's not alive, she can't faint.

Mom. Mommy.
Mommy, where are you, Mommy?

Mommy, where are you?

Jessica, we need you
to tell us where William Bell is.

Ding, ding, ding

My bicycle. My bicycle is blue
and has a little chimy bell on it.

Ding, ding, ding.

My bicycle is blue
and had a little chimy bell.

- I left it in the rain and it rusted.
- Jessica.

Jessica, look at me.

William Bell.

Where is he?

[JESSICA CHUCKLES]

He's all wet, I expect.

And a bore.

[SINGING] But a man must be blind
Or be out of his mind

To go out to sea once more

He's on a boat.

Probably close
to where he shot Astrid.

This is taking too long. Jessica.

Is William Bell on a boat?

William Bell is a great man.

A brilliant man.

But not just a man.

Birth to a new world,
born from the collapse.

Jessica, how is he going to give birth
to a new world...

[MACHINE BEEPING]

...if we closed the bridge
between the two universes?

- I'm afraid we don't have much longer.
- How is he going to collapse universes?

- He needed a new energy source.
- What energy source?

We are all expendable
in the wake of creation.

Jessica, how is he going to do it?

Noah was a righteous man...

...and he brought onto the ark every
creature to populate the new world.

- Two by two...
- Damn it, Jessica. What energy source?

What...?

What just happened?

Did I just do that?

Does Walter have a gaussmeter?

- Yeah.
- I think I know what's happening here.

The new energy source, it's me.

Bell's gonna try and use me
to collapse the two universes.

That's why he's been activating me.

[GAUSSMETER WHINING]

[OLIVIA SIGHS]

The electromagnetic energy
you're giving off is extraordinary.

But if William is using
the energy you're generating...

...I believe I may know
how to find him.

A cargo freighter left Boston Harbor
at 10:22 this morning.

The Talos.
It fell off radar 15 minutes later.

That's six hours ago. It could be
200 miles off the coast by now.

Talk to me.

It's not good. Olivia is giving off a strong
and specific electromagnetic field.

Now, I know how it sounds...

...but I believe she was activated
to power the universe collapse.

Lucky me.

And I assume you can't...

...turn her off.
- No.

But we can use her
to find Walter and William Bell.

The frequency at which
Olivia is resonating...

...will also be the frequency at the
epicenter of the dimensional intersection.

Meaning we should be able to
identify the exact location...

...where the two universes overlap.

Now, assuming Bell wants to survive
the collapse, that's where he'll be.

The calm at the center of the storm.

And how long will it take?

The satellites are almost online.

We'll find Bell.

SCIENTIST: We've got NAVSTAR.
NINA: Task the satellites at 392.6 Hz.

AGENT:
Weather service is reporting a squall.

Approximately 80 miles off shore,
due east of Boston.

Three microquakes. Albany, New York,
Waterville, Vermont and Worcester.

- All within seconds.
- It's started.

The universes are colliding.

Narrow your search
to the area of the storm.

OLIVIA:
Did you find Bell?

- Not yet.
- Wonder what he has in store for me now.

It's gonna be okay.

You know, for the first time
I don't think that it is.

I remember being in that lab
in Jacksonville when Walter...

...and William were doing
the Cortexiphan trials.

I remember how it smelled, how I felt.

How scared I was, how all alone I was.

And now, years later...

...nothing's changed.
I'm still that little girl.

And William Bell
is still doing experiments on me.

I'm just still being used.

No. Something has changed.

This time you're not alone.

BELL:
You have to see this.

Oh, don't look like that. If nothing else,
for pure scientific curiosity.

Trust me, you've never seen
anything like this. It's marvelous.

- How?
- Olivia.

We were right, Walter.

She truly is a remarkable girl.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Got it. Eighty-four miles
due east of Nantucket.

Call upstairs.
Tell them we need choppers.

Get suited up.

William.

Please.

- Don't do this.
- You may be sad now, Walter.

You may be frightened. But you'll see.

We deserve this.

These are the coordinates, ma'am.
But I've got no visual.

Well, it's not here.
Can you check the uplink?

- Maybe they're jamming us.
- Are you kidding me? It's right there.

OLIVIA:
I don't see anything.

- Nina?
- No, nothing.

- Am I losing my mind here?
- Still no visual contact, sir.

No, I think I know what's happening.

If William is collapsing the universes...

...it stands to reason the fabric
between universes is growing thin.

- Here, where his ship is.
- But there's nothing here.

NINA:
No, not in this here.

The ship already phased entirely
out of sync with our universe.

- No one here can see it. Peter...
PETER: I'm from the Other Side.

- I resonate at a different frequency.
- From the Other Side the ship is visible.

For how much longer
we can't be sure.

If it's already left our universe,
there's no way to get to it.

- Even if we had time, the bridge is closed.
- There is a way.

Me.

Yes. Olivia now has as much
activated Cortexiphan...

...in her system as the Olivia
from the original timeline.

If what you've both told me is accurate,
Olivia can jump between worlds.

You, Peter, you can see it.
Olivia, you can reach it.

But it will have to be done together.

What if I can't do it?

Heh, you've had the most extraordinary gifts.
The only one you were denied was knowing.

You've had the power all along.

You ready?

All right.

If you've lost your mind,
now would be the time to tell me.

PETER:
Take it to port! About three yards!

Now!

[PETER GRUNTING]

- It worked.
- You surprised?

Yeah.

It was the pilot's. You can't be the
only one who always gets to carry a gun.

What is this place?

I think this is his ark.

[CREATURES GROWLING AND HISSING]

I will arise and go, now

And go to Innisfree

And a small cabin build there
Of clay and wattles made

Nine bean-rows will I have there
A hive for the honeybee

And live alone in the bee- loud glade

Do you know it, Walter?

Yeats.

[DOOR OPENS]

OLIVIA: Walter, are you all right?
BELL: Well, this is unexpected.

You know I was not planning
on having any humans.

What a troublesome species
we can be, after all.

I had assumed that Walter and I
would die off...

...and my new universe would thrive...

...unencumbered
by the savage whims of mankind.

But I see I was wrong. Heh.
Look at the two of you.

Humans abide. They persevere.
They survive.

You have earned your right
in the new order.

A final breeding pair
amongst all others.

You will be the new Adam and Eve.

Stop this. Turn it off. Now!

Shoot me if you like, young Peter.
I cannot turn it off.

There is no escaping the inevitable.
The chain reaction has begun.

Olivia is a living uncertainty engine.

Every breath she takes
brings us closer to Nirvana.

Every beat of her heart
tears the world from its hinges.

She is the redeemer. Go ahead.

I will not be the first god
to be martyred for creation.

WALTER:
Forgive me.

[GUN CLICKS]

No!

No.

No. No.

You killed her.

Yes, indeed, he did.

Very clever, old friend.

If that's what you consider
learning a lesson from the past...

...you paid a steep price.

We could have all been so happy together.

[SOBBING]

PETER:
You killed her.

PETER: Don't touch her.
WALTER: Peter, this is no time for emotion.

We have to move rapidly
if we're going to save her.

Save her? She's dead.

You know very well know that hasn't
always stopped me. Peter, listen to me!

Go over there to the table,
get the letter opener...

...and clear everything else off the desk.
Do it now, Peter.

WALTER:
Olivia's brain is saturated with Cortexiphan.

The brain tissue is regenerative...

...so if I can get the bullet out
before the Cortexiphan wears off...

...and the non-regenerative tissue calcifies,
I'll be able to save her.

It's like my lemon cake.

Whoa, whoa, stop.
What are you doing?

I need an exit wound. There isn't one.

How much time do we have, Walter?

Not long.

Any damage I do should repair itself.

If I can get the bullet out.

I'm so sorry, Olive.

Walter.

It worked.

Despite full international cooperation,
there remains no sign of William Bell.

The biological materials from
Dr. Bell's ark...

...have been cryogenically
quarantined for future study.

Your team will of course
have full access if you so desire.

Thank you.

The committee would like
to acknowledge the work your team...

...have done in protecting the welfare of
the people of this nation. And the world.

As such we would like to grant
your request for significant funding...

...to upgrade your operational
and scientific divisions.

And thank you, Phillip...

...for keeping us all safe at night.

You're welcome, sir.

Well, that will be all, General Broyles.

- It's colonel, sir.
- Not anymore.

Congratulations, general.
You've earned it.

NINA: How'd it go?
BROYLES: Better than expected.

Fringe Division now finds itself
with a fully funded Science Division.

- And no one to run it.
- Ah.

Nina...

...you want ajob?

[NINA CHUCKLES]

You know, Peter, I've been thinking.

Due to the intense energy utilization...

...the Cortexiphan levels in her body
should be almost negligible.

Meaning what, Walter?

Heh. Meaning she won't be able
to run around...

...setting things on fire
or doing superhuman things.

Excuse me, miss, is that lemon Jell-O?

- These are urine samples.
- Oh.

Well, in that case, no, thank you.

I'm more peckish than thirsty.

You're saying Olivia's normal now?

Well, the treatments did leave
a biological signature...

...so I suppose some abilities
could one day emerge.

But for all intents and purposes, yes.

- I believe she may be.
ASTRID: Is she out yet?

- How you holding up?
- Ugh.

DOCTOR:
She's all done.

She's ready to go home.

[ASTRID GROANS]

Thank you, Astrid.

What?

You just called me by my real name.

Did I?

I found one.

It's perfect. Brookline.
Center hall. Two stories.

- Peter...
- I just figured after everything...

...we've been through in the last couple
of days, hell, the last couple of years...

[SIGHS]

...I thought we deserved
a little bit of normal.

It's, uh... It's perfect.

I suppose that he was right.

The Observer.

In every version of the future,
you had to die.

But I never want to lose you again.

What?

You're okay, right? The doctor
didn't tell you anything else.

Actually, he did.

What?

Peter, I'm pregnant.

[CHUCKLES]

[WALTER CLEARS THROAT]

[WHISTLING]

Ah... Ah.

I don't suppose
you are here for a sandwich?

We have to warn the others.

They are coming.

Who's coming?

[English - US - SDH]
