Fringe (2008–2013): Season 4, Episode 6 - And Those We've Left Behind - full transcript

Previously on Fringe:

I've been seeing him in my
dreams for the past three weeks.

A shared vision like
this, he must be real.

A father and son just pulled a
man from the middle of Reiden Lake.

He knows things no one outside
this division could possibly know.

- Thank God you're here.
- Who are you?

He's saying that his
name is Peter Bishop.

- Walter.
- I don't know who you are...

or why you claim to be my son.

My son drowned.

This must be confusing for you.



Help me figure out why
no one remembers me.

Why you don't.

Wherever you came from,
however you got here...

it doesn't matter.
I can't help you.

I thought I'd gotten rid of you.

I don't think so.

It took me three years to finally get you.
You're not getting rid of me that easily.

Where'd you disappear to?

I was checking up on Walter.

He found the swing set. You know
how he feels about Newtonian mechanics.

You know what this is?

- The perfect day.
- Yes, the perfect day.

It's too bad it has to end.

And why would it have to end?



You can't ignore
the problem, Peter.

Ignoring it won't
make it go away.

I don't understand.
What's the problem?

What's wrong, Olivia?

You, Peter.

You're the problem.

Sorry if I woke you up.

It's all right, I was
already awake.

There's something going on, and we
think it has something to do with you.

With your appearance here.

Okay, what kind of something?

We're not sure, but we
think it has to do with time.

Mommy, Mommy,
look what I caught.

- Aah! Get it away from me.
- Got you.

It's fake, Mommy, see?

Thank goodness. You never
know when a spider's gonna get you.

I'm almost done here. Then
we'll read together, okay?

- What are you in the mood for?
- Burlap Bear.

Burlap Bear, that's my favorite.

Samantha?

Sam?

Sam, where are you?

Mommy. Mommy, what is it?

Oh, Sam. Sam.

So, what are you thinking?

First chance I've had to
look outside since I got back.

It looks exactly
like I remember it.

Uh, I meant, what do you
think about what I told you?

In regard to the time anomalies.

Oh. Uh...

People in Boston reporting
strange events of déjà vu.

Well, it's not just déjà vu. Some
of them are reporting time loops.

I don't know what that
means. What is a time loop?

Like Groundhog Day?

I'm not trying to be difficult, but what
does this have to do with me, anyway?

Shortly before you arrived...

we experienced our own
anomalies having to do with time.

Strange reversals
in cause and effect.

Is that why you're taking me to
Massive Dynamic? To run more tests?

You think these time anomalies
may be because of me?

Yeah.

So, what's Walter's theory?

Walter doesn't have a theory.

He's made it pretty clear that he doesn't
wanna have anything to do with you.

Dunham.

It's Lincoln. There's
been another incident.

Walter, I'm not sure
if I'm doing this right.

Hang on, here it is. "A short
emission should indicate...

universe breach and
extent of affected area."

- Did you spray?
- Yeah, twice.

No reaction.

Maybe third time's a charm.

Negative.

There's no change
in color or anything.

It would seem this
event is not caused...

by a bleed-through
from the other universe.

Hmm.

Well, it's a wonderful
device nonetheless...

despite the poorly
written instruction manual.

Okay, you just stay here.
Don't touch anything...

and don't talk to anyone, okay?

It looks like there was a fire
but with no apparent cause.

The damage just
happened in an instant.

- A flash fire? BROYLES:
Except there were no flames.

And that's not
the weirdest part.

According to the mother,
for the duration of the event...

her daughter went from
being a 5-year-old to an infant.

Mommy, where's Emily?

Samantha, it's okay.
We can buy a new one.

I don't want a new
one, I want Emily.

Are you sure you didn't
put her somewhere else?

She was here, I remember.

We were having a circus, and you
can't have a circus without an elephant.

Is that Emily?

Emily.

- A little smoky, but otherwise okay.
- Thank you.

Emily.

So you really think
I caused all this?

I don't know.

Fire marshal says they've
never seen anything like it.

Some areas burnt, next to places
that are completely undamaged.

The outside wall had scorch
marks that made a perfect circle.

It's almost like the fire
burned in the shape of a ball.

There was another
fire here four years ago.

Fits with what the woman was saying
about her daughter becoming an infant.

So we're thinking what? That this whole
place flashed back to four years ago?

We need to get
him back to the lab.

I want Dr. Bishop
to run those tests.

Walter is refusing to do
anything that involves him.

He doesn't get to choose which
cases he works and which he doesn't.

It's his job to
investigate fringe events.

And until something suggests
otherwise, he is a fringe event.

The subject can lower the arms.

You can call me Peter...

Subject does not have
an elevated radiation level.

Nor does it have any
trace chemical signatures.

Subject appears to be solid, not
phasing in and out of existence.

You can inform Agent Broyles that
I have completed the examination...

and I conclude
that this subject...

is not the cause of the
time-related phenomenon.

Walter, you couldn't
possibly know that so quickly.

If I was erased from this timeline
and then thrown back into it...

it stands to reason those
two things could be related.

I'll be in my bedroom
working on the problem.

I do not wish to be disturbed.

He lives here?

Since when?

Since I checked him out of a
mental institution three years ago.

Now this lab is the only
place that he feels safe.

Okay, well, if he won't
help me, I'll just do it myself.

Does he still keep all his notes
on wormholes in the bathroom?

You think this has something
to do with time travel?

No, not exactly.

I think this has something
to do with time displacement.

I think when I came back here...

I somehow damaged
the space-time continuum.

If that's the case, there may
not actually be any rules to it.

Like the apartment.
The fire and the baby.

The mother didn't revert to a
younger age, but her daughter did.

Yeah, precisely.

I can't explain it, but
as far as I can tell...

these anomalies are gonna
increase exponentially.

If we can judge anything by the damage
done by that fire in the apartment...

these things are
gonna get worse.

We're already over an hour late.
Why does this always happen?

Relax, we're totally gonna make it
in time for the bands that don't suck.

Whatever. You just think Aluminum
Rain rules the known universe.

They're gonna make it big and you two
are gonna say you liked them all along.

Heh. Dylan, this is my solemn promise: I
will never say that I liked Aluminum Rain.

Look out!

But leave your mind alone

This is not working.

I got too many competing
theories. I can't balance the equation.

There's too many variables
and not enough constants.

Look at this.

There have been 65 time
slips in the past 72 hours...

all of which occurred within a
40-mile radius of downtown Boston.

So because most people
don't call in déjà vu to the FBI...

we can assume that there's at
least twice as many unreported.

Now, I've categorized
all of the events.

Lost time, frozen moments,
time jumps, reversals.

What about the apartment fire?
How'd you categorize that one?

The spherical nature of it
makes it distinct from the others.

Maybe we should go back
to the site and get more...

To try and try again

Well, hear us now

Agent Dunham.

I was going to make a bologna
sandwich. Would you care for one?

Uh, no, but thank you, Walter.

I'm working on
the case with Peter.

We could really
use you on this one.

I'd be happy to join you...

as soon as my lab is
available to me again.

Ah.

My copy of Carroll's Cosmology.
I was just looking for that.

- Walter.
- It's okay.

Just let him go.

He can't even look at me.

Can you blame him?

Seeing the adult version
of the son that he lost.

I mean, the visions he was
having were unsettling enough.

What visions?

For weeks before you arrived,
you were appearing to him...

here in the lab.

You weren't aware
you were doing that?

No.

You were also showing
up in my dreams.

Almost every night.

How is that possible when I'd
never even seen you before?

Olivia.

Look, you can believe whatever you
like, but this is where I'm supposed to be.

This is my home.

I don't know, maybe you and Walter
saw echoes of the other timeline...

Just got word. A freight train
appeared out of nowhere...

almost took out a car full of teenagers.
- Are they okay?

They're fine. The
car stopped in time.

- Let's take my car.
- I'll come with you guys.

If I'm causing a
cosmic disruption...

then there's gonna be
heightened levels of alpha radiation.

I'm gonna need specific readings,
the full spectrum of EM waves, not just...

Did you have any warning
the train was coming?

No warning. It just
came out of nowhere.

No bells or anything.

When you say the train disappeared,
what do you mean exactly?

I know it sounds crazy,
but I could only see part of it.

Like it was passing
through a window.

- Curved, like looking through a bubble.
- Spherical.

I swear, I wasn't
smoking anything.

- Is something wrong?
- How did we get here?

Um, we drove.

You all right?

No. No, I am not all right.

I think I just had a time jump.

You're sure about that?

Okay. Thanks.

Transit Authority said that
line was decommissioned.

Last train to run on that
track was four years ago.

Sound familiar?

Fire in the apartment
building was four years ago.

Well, that's finally a
piece of good news.

We might actually have
the makings of a pattern.

Boston P.D. held a witness for us.
Let's hope he's got something useful.

I'll check with the CSIs.

This is gonna start
getting annoying.

Agent Olivia Dunham.
I'm with the FBI.

- Could I ask you a couple questions?
- What do you wanna know?

So you were with another
two people? Who were they?

A girl in the front
and a girl in the back.

When you say the train disappeared,
what did you mean exactly?

Hey, guys, I got some...

What?

Peter?

Uh, there are heightened levels of
neutron radiation at the train crossing.

Why didn't you tell us that
when we were at the scene?

I didn't know until I
was just back there.

- What? PETER:
It's not important.

A piece of the bumper
just crumbled into my hands.

Metal degradation, a
sign of neutron radiation.

Get those kids tested
for radiation poisoning.

I'm sorry, you lost me.

It doesn't happen in nature.

Cosmic radiation waves,
they're random, erratic.

Neutron radiation has to be
generated by human technology.

So you're saying you don't think
you're responsible for what's going on?

No, I'm not saying
that. I don't know that.

What I am saying is that somebody
has to be causing these time events.

Raymond, did you remember to change
the date on your dentist appointment?

Yup, I remembered.

- You took your cholesterol pill?
- Like always, Kate.

You know, you don't need to
remind me of things anymore.

I've turned over a new leaf.

Is that right? After 30 years?

What would I do without you?

- There you go.
- Oh.

- Thank you, honey.
- Mm-hm.

Success?

Well, not yet, but
close, you know?

I'm sure you'll get it,
honey, any day now.

Mm-hm.

Kate.

Would you like some tea?

- Who are you?
- Ha, ha.

I'm Raymond, sweetheart.

I'm Raymond.

Is it any wonder I've got
too much time on my hands?

Tickin' away with my sanity

I've got too much

Why would anyone develop technology
that would cause time collisions?

I don't know. Why would
Oppenheimer invent the bomb?

- You think this is a weapon?
- No, no, I don't know that, I just...

I mean, I hope not.

But the neutron pulse has
to come from somewhere...

in the vicinity of these
two time-bubble events:

the fire and the train crossing.

If we could find some kind of pattern,
maybe we could locate the source.

Yeah, but two points isn't
really very much to go on.

How about four?

We just got two new reports.

A perfect circle of trees
suddenly appeared...

in a parking garage
in Chestnut Hill.

Shortly after, an open pit
filled with rotting garbage...

suddenly appeared in the eighth
hole of the Franklin Park golf course.

- Course was built on top of the landfill...
- Let me guess, four years ago.

Yeah, but look at it. It's still
completely random to my eyes.

- There's no way to...
- I am ready to present a theory.

Snails.

Nautilus shells.

Rams' horns.

These all have one
thing in common:

Fibonacci's golden spiral.

I'll be damned.
Walter, that's it.

I believe the source
of these time slips...

must be located in
the center of this spiral.

You'll want to search
a 3-square-mile area...

in the vicinity of Brookline.

- I need to go Christmas shopping.
- You will, sweetheart.

There's plenty of time.
It's not even Thanksgiving.

I'll miss it and then it'll
be too late. I have to go.

- All the stores will be clear...
- Hey.

We're not gonna miss
Christmas. You hear me?

I'm not gonna let
that happen, okay?

I'm not gonna let that
happen. Don't worry.

We'll have all the
Christmases in the world.

I have some work
I need to do now.

I will see you soon.

Seeking out food
both day and night.

And though their diet
is primarily vegetarian...

Did you remember to change the
date for your dentist appointment?

- Yeah, I remembered.
- Mm, good. And you took your...?

My cholesterol pills in the morning.
Yeah, you don't need to remind me.

- Oh, really?
- But I do enjoy it.

If you do notice anything out of
the ordinary, please contact the FBI.

Thank you for your time.

If the source is around here,
then it must be well hidden.

You know, maybe
it's underground.

Or hiding in plain sight.

Is something on your mind?

Yeah. Yeah.

Those dreams that you were
having, the ones that I'm in.

Mm-hm.

Were we in a park,
Walter on a swing set?

What?

In the dreams, did you
feel like you knew me?

Did you feel anything?

You're a stranger,
so, what would I feel?

It's the red one. The one
on differential equations.

Yeah.

Got it.

Raymond!

- Raymond.
- Kate.

- I need to show you something.
- What?

- I need to show you something.
- What?

- Come.
- You're scaring me.

There's something you need
to know, something amazing.

I don't understand.
What is this?

I built it from your work.
I used your theories...

your concepts, your brilliance.

- Raymond, are you saying...?
- Time chambers are possible. Yeah.

I built it for you. It took
me almost three years.

It isn't perfect yet. It only
works for limited periods.

I got it up to 47 minutes now.

But it can't go longer until I program
it with the completed equation, Kate.

Kate. Kate, listen to me.

You need to complete it so we can
keep the chamber open indefinitely.

Raymond, what year is it?

- 2007.
- No, what year is it out there?

2011.

Agent Dunham!

Walter, I'm as close
as I'm gonna get.

Now you spray the fingerprint
powder towards the suspect area.

Walter, it's huge.

There's no end to it.

It Probably shrouds
the property.

This is a time bubble.

And if we're right, and what's
happening is originating from there...

it would be powerful, which is
why the agent was obliterated.

You can't just walk from
the present into the past.

- It's shattering the laws of physics.
- How do we get in?

There's only one way in.
We need a Faraday cage.

It's gotta be mobile. Something
that can block out the field...

so I can cross through and
turn off whatever's causing this.

- Walter, you need to build a movable...
- I heard the idea.

I know what a Faraday
cage is. A baboon would.

Astrid.

I need a computer battery.
And a spool of copper wire.

And a climbing harness
and some rubber cement.

I think it's in my
Spider-Man fanny pack.

Walter's working on
a way to get inside.

Did he mention when or where we
can expect another residual event?

I didn't ask.

What about Walter's
spiral? It led us to the origin.

Could we track where
the next event will occur?

- Yeah, that's a good idea. I need a map.
- Come with me.

- You need to stop this. Turn it off.
- No.

You don't understand. You
don't know what can happen.

We don't have much time.

- Finish the equation.
- Tell me why this is happening.

- I don't understand.
- You need to trust me, Kate.

Some things are
supposed to remain theories.

- It wasn't meant to be built.
- You don't understand.

- Tell me why you did it.
- We don't have time!

Raymond.

Why did you do this?

Did something happen to me?

Raymond?

I lost you, Kate.

I lost you.

We've identified the owners of the
house. Raymond and Kate Greene.

Raymond's an
electrical engineer.

Kate, professor emeritus of
theoretical physics at Boston University.

Theoretical physics.
Well, that makes sense.

She retired three years
ago. Early-onset Alzheimer's.

We have a problem.

If we extend the golden
spiral out to the next iteration...

we find the next event will take
place there, the Melville Tunnel.

- Which didn't exist four years ago.
- That tunnel goes under the river.

There's hundreds of
people in it at any one point.

If that tunnel ceases
to exist, they'll all drown.

Agent Lee, get down there. Coordinate
with Boston P.D. and start evacuating.

Here. Walter calls this "The
Walter Bishop Faraday Harness."

He wanted me to tell you that.

So how do I put it on?

I'm the one who goes in.

- What are you gonna do inside?
- Shut it off.

- How?
- Walter will talk me through.

We don't know if comms will work.
Need someone with a science background.

He's right.

Now, you...

The primary transistor goes
on the back of the neck...

with the prongs
either side of the spine.

- This goes into your neck.
- Of course it does.

This will get him across, but I'm not
guaranteeing what will happen inside.

Environment in the bubble
may override the device.

Walter, what happens if it
breaks down on the inside?

Exactly the same as happened to
the fellow who turned into confetti.

ASTRID: Walter, he's in.

Cage was a good idea.

He's very smart.

We have to hurry.

It's over, Raymond.

- They're outside.
- No, they can't come in. It's impossible.

All you have to do
is solve the problem.

I already solved it.

Upstairs. It's, um... It's
why I called out to you.

I haven't written it down yet...

but I have it.

Raymond, what have you done?

Peter?

Peter, can you hear me?

- Agent Lee.
- We've still got over 50 cars stuck here.

We're clearing out
the civilians, but...

You have to see this.

I thought this was impossible, but
I wouldn't give up. It wouldn't work.

And then something changed.
- What changed?

At first, I couldn't
get it to work.

And then three days
ago, I got results.

And five minutes turned
into 10, and 10 into 20.

And then I got it
up to 47 minutes.

- I know it can go longer.
- It's over, Raymond.

- They're not going away.
- We're not turning it off.

Don't make me hurt you.

No, no, no, don't. You can't.

The entire city block will be
evaporated along with all of us.

He's right. If it's not
shut down properly...

it will cause a rip in
the fabric of space-time.

Then shut it down properly.

An agent is dead
because of this.

Now there's a tunnel that's gonna
cease to exist, causing many more deaths.

What are you talking about?

Time displacement.

There are repercussions.
Repercussions I was afraid of.

- I'll shut it down.
- No, Kate.

On one condition.

I want immunity for my husband.

He didn't know. There's
no way he could have.

- Can you hear me?
- Yeah, go ahead.

They'll turn it off, but
they've got conditions.

I can't go on without you.
I don't want this for us.

Kate.

When you got sick,
it happened so fast.

And all the things
that you were for me...

and all of the things
that you did for me...

I didn't have a chance
to be that for you.

I thought we'd have more time.

This isn't living, Raymond.

Living is what's beyond this
room, beyond this house...

out in the world, where
you're supposed to be.

If not this, how?
How do I repay you?

I mean, what better thing
could I do for you than this?

You say that you shouldn't
change fate, but you don't know.

You don't know what's
waiting for you, how terrible it is.

Sweetheart, I'll never
give up, Kate. Never.

I'll build it again.
I can do it again.

We have your completed equation.
You did it. Look, all you have to do...

is write it in that book.

I'm not gonna give up.

I'm not gonna give up, Kate.

We would have to
move to another place.

Yes, far away, yes.

And I'm sure you'll find a way,
so that people won't get hurt.

Let them have the investigation, let
them take away all the equipment...

ask their questions.

I'll build it again.

I'll build it again.

They're drawing up paperwork. I have
assurances you will not be prosecuted.

I hate to break this up, but I held
up my end. We're running out of time.

I love you, Raymond.

Yeah.

It's all right.
Don't... Don't...

Don't worry about all these
people here, Kate. It's okay.

It'll be just us again.

I have to go answer
some questions now.

Okay. RAYMOND: A few hours...

and I'll be back.

A nurse will be here with
you in case you need anything.

All right?

I'll be back soon.

No.

No, no.

- I know, I know, stay here.
- I just need a few minutes.

If you get hungry, you can get a snack
from the kitchen, which is just there.

Give me, like, five minutes.

Good work today.

It turns out it wasn't you
causing these events after all.

Actually, I think it was.

I think Kate's theory worked
because of my presence here.

Why do you think that?

I overheard Raymond telling Kate he
started getting results three days ago.

I arrived three days ago.

Initially I thought it was the
timeline that had to be reset...

but now I'm
thinking that it's me.

Clearly I'm in the wrong place.

All the people that I know
and love are somewhere else.

Now I just gotta figure
out how to get home.

In the meantime...

I can make it more
comfortable while you're here.

You said you were living in
faculty housing with Dr. Bishop.

I checked, and Dr. Bishop
does own a home on campus.

It's déjà vu.

Just so you know, there will be
an FBI agent stationed out the front.

Ha, ha. Where would I run to?

So, hey, do I get an allowance?

- I'll see what I can do.
- Okay.

Thanks for the lift.

I'm gonna talk to Walter again and
see if I can convince him to help you.

Best of luck with that.

I was important to you, wasn't I?
I mean, the other version of me.

Because I see the way you look at
me when you think that I'm not aware.

Yeah. Yeah, she was. She is.

Well, I hope that
you get back to her.

Thank you. Me too.
