In 2036 the Observers have begun terraforming the earth. Walter has a plan to defeat them but his capture by the Observers may be problematic. Peter searches for Olivia who is encased in amber to reunite his family

They are coming.
Who's coming?

(walternate)
Our world is being tak over

By an advanced species
Of humans

We call "observers."

Bite my hand,
And i will put you down.

I am dr. Walter bishop.

I had a plan
To fight back.

(walter)
They weren't all bad. One of them tried to help us.

He was called september.

(walternate)
Before we could strike,

We were forced
To amber ourselves.



20 years later
Some of our team were found.

What year is it?
2036.

Do you know me?

I've been stuck in that amber
For over 20 years.

You barely look
Old enough...

Henrietta?

Hi, dad.
[chuckles]

(walternate)
The battle to save mankind is about to begin.

[indistinct murmuring]

[explosion]

[people screaming]

Olivia. Olivia.

It's okay.
She's just resting.

And where's my little girl?



No children
Were brought in. She was with us.

Where are they keeping
The kids? Etta! Etta!

[gasps]

Dad?

You all right?

Yeah,
I'm all right.

i was just checking up
on you.

What time is it?

It's around 7:00.

I made some tea.

And i found these
In the fridge.

They're called egg sticks.

My god.

What is that--
Punishment food?

Welcome to 2036.

[computerized female voice]
The word "naugahyde" not found.

Naugahyde was
A very popular premium pleather.

american patents...

Peter, you let me oversleep.

We should be on our way
By now to find olivia.

Nobody wants to find olivia
More than i do,

But you're gonna need
Some pants, walter.

I'm aware
I'm not wearing pants, peter.

I'm not an idiot.

the last time
i spoke to her,

She was in that location--
Columbus circle, 2015.

She was in new york?

She called me
The day she disappeared.

i could hardly hear her.

The line went dead.

Do you understand

That conversation
Was 21 years ago?

She could be anywhere now,
In this city or not.

(walter)
she had a piece of the puzzle...

This is just one part.

What i st her to get
Will unlk e whole.

Unckhe whole what?

Plan to defeat the observers,
Of course.

September and i worked
On the plan

He provided
In a unique way.

After we completed
Each component,

The information
Was scrambled in my mind

A precaution
Against being read.

He told me

That when the time came
To implement the plan,

I had to retrieve something
From grand central station

And that then all
Would be clear.

And that's
What i sent olivia to get.

She was on her way back
When she vanished.

she never returned.

a few days later,
i ambereus

Good god.
What's that?

It's an egg stick.

What a miserableuture.

Aspen, help me find
My shoes.

there's no time
to waste.

(peter)
we have believe she's still alive.

I know you're doubting that
Right now.

How could you know that?

'Cause how could she be,
After all these years?

What are the odds
Of getting all of us back?

If she's still alive,
Henrietta,

We're gonna find her.

So this is what's left
Of columbus circle.

A travesty...

A travesty.

What did they do
To the park?

(etta)
they paved it to build machines that pump carbon monoxide

into the atmosphere.

Why?

There's one
On every continent.

The air here,

It's too oxygen-rich
For them.

a few more years, and the
effects will be irreversible.

It'll reduce the average
Non-observer lifespan

To somewhere
Around 45.

Well, somewhere around here
She called me.

She was running.

That much
I could ascertain,

And then the connection
Was suddenly cut.

(astrid)
walter.

(walter)
yes, olivia could be trapped in there.

we had already discussed
the possibility

of using amber
as a last resort

Should we be at risk
Of getting caught

By the observers.

I'd already given her

An ambering device.

I would have given one
To you too

If you hadn't abandoned us.

Lter.

He didn't mean it.

Sure he did.

(walter)
oh, no.

(astrid)
what are all those holes?

everyone's gone.

Fourth gen amber removal--
They were taken recently.

So the observers have olivia?

No.

Amber gypsies.

What on earth
Are amber gypsies?

[indistinct chatter]

(walter)
Oh, my.

(etta)
the black market thrives here.

[barks]

Hello, there.

I fell in lo
In japan once.

I almost married her.

Come on, walter.

Okay, go down
Three halls--

The first area
On your right.

U're not coming?

Frge division shakes
These guys down althe time.

Someone will recognize me.

[chuckles]
Walnuts?

Deal closer.

That's almost $3,000.

If they tell you any different,
They're tryi trip you off.

(peter)
cuse me.

We're looking for someone
Who was cut out of amber

Not far from here.

We're not loyalists...

Just concerned
Family members.

Freshest cuts
Are on the left.

I still can't believe
My eyes--

What you've grown into.

Of course, you must understand
For me it's only two months ago

That i took you
To the pier.

You loved the horses.

Carousel.

You remember?

No.
I wish i did.

It's just what they call them,
Right--carouls?

They used to anyway.

To me, you will forever be

A little girl.

[crying]

The woman i'm looking for--
She's a blonde.

So's my sister.

Those are the cuts.

This one
Would be hard to forget.

[chuckles]

Yeah.
Information's expensive.

She would have had an
Electronic device in her hand.

Huh.

Late 20s,
Black leather jacket?

(astrid)
yeah.

She was sold.

She was sold?

Sold to who?

Your stage is waiting
For you, maverick.

You selling tickets?

No, but you're buying one.

i am?
yes, indeed.

you being
an understanding soul.

and one
that don't like violence.

Let's get out of here,
Maverick.

You don't want any trouble.

You're right, doc,
Not that kind.

This apartment is sanctioned.

I have invoked native rights,
Statute 23 "d."

Away.

eter)

[tv clicks off]

Markham is dead.

He died a hero's death.

People were sad.

He gave his life saving a bus
Full of small children and--

You're alive.

Where is she?
All of you.

Where is she?

Why haven't you aged?

How did you not age?

We know you bought her.

I love her...

from the first time
she came into my bookstore.

I never meant her
Any harm.

How'd you get her
In here?

you had to use
a dolly or something.

It's not suppose
To hpethis way.

She's supposed to wake up
And see me as her savior,

When i fure out exactly
How to wake her up.

A gurney.
Peter, here.

This place is a treasure trove
Of literature.

She's supposed to overlook
My height issue

and realize
that i'm really good for her

and that i love her.

i have gone into
substantial debt over th.

On reward wire.

For my loyalty.

So long?

She found us.

Your mom.

Hi, mama.

You're beautiful.

So are you.
[sniffles]

The last time i saw you,
You were three years old.

All this time
I thought i was four.

No, you were
Three years,

One month,
And five days.

There was not one moment

At i didn't think
Abt u.

Where's walter?

He was captured
This morning.

By observers.

Walter had worked out a plan
To defeat the observers--

One that he worked out
With september.

He said that you had something
He needed,

Something
You re gonna give him.

From grand central station.
Here.

What is it?
I don't know.

I was on my way to walter when
I triggered the ambering device.

So where
Did they take walter?

We're workg
On that.

[door opens]

[door closes]

we have been looking
for you...

and your friends.

I am very interested
In you.

I don't know
Why you're alive.

[choral music]

♪ ♪

Ah, you're trying
To think of music.

♪ ♪

You miss mic.

The's not a lot of it here.

We tolerate it.

But it's merely tones,
Rhythms,

And harmonic vibrations.

I don't understand.

Mostly it amazes me.

Music helps you
Shift perspective,

To see things differently
If you need to.

See things?
Like hope?

Yeah.
Very much like that.

But there is no hope...

For you.

Nothing grows
Omcorched earth.

you seem much more interesting
as a human being

Than as a vegetable.

But, quite frankly,

All things being equal,

I don't mind
Which one you end up.

the choice is yours.

[electronic beeping]

[door unlocks]

Wait here.

Anil?

(anil)
etta.

What happened?

Elias was shot this afternoon
Coming out of the square.

I need your help.

We didn't save
The world.

Not even by half.

She's still trying,
Though.

How long do you think
It's been

Since they made one
Of these?

'Cause i could sure use one
Right now.

[glass shatters]

[sighs]

I never thought
I'd see you again, olivia.

I know
What you thought of me

When i wouldn't leave boston
To come to new york with you...

When i left you alone.

No, peter,
We lost our child.

And...

In the grief,
We just...

Weren't able
Or we incapable of--

Of being what we needed
To be for each other.

And that was all it was.

You were songer
Thane.

You could do something
That i couldn't do. Was.

You saw that the world
Needed us, and you went to help.

And i just--

I didn't have the will
To give up searching

For this--
This perfect little soul

That we made.

Out here for all these years...

Fighting for these people,
Defending them.

And at the moment
That she needed her father

To protect her,
I couldn't do it.

And i wanted more than anything
For that not to be true.

And in the state
Of mind that i was in...

That meant at all costs...

Including us.

[door opens]

Come with me.

[door opens]

This is anil.

It's an honor to mt u.

What we have here is
A transilience thought unifier,

Model-11.

So what's it do?
Turn it on.

Can we access
Its information?

No, that's not
How it works.

It accesses
Your information.

What do you mean?

It retrieves
Specifically marked thoughts

In your mind
And unifies them.

For what purpose?

To keep them hidden
From prying eyes

Until you want
To access them.

Exactly.

But it doesn't seem
To work any longer.

That's what walter meant.

"all become clear"
When he gets this.

It has to be the plan.

It was fragmented
And hidden

On walter's hard drive
By september.

You guys.
We found walter.

This is from across the street
From where dr. Bishop was taken.

We'll track him
With traffic cameras.

This is two blocks
From here.

(astrid)
can you do that across the entire city?

I haven't lost many people
Doing this,

But i have lost some,

so no promises.

This thing is crucial
To walter's plan.

But it is conceivable he could
Give them that information.

(klopinski)
if he hasn't already.

and who's to say
what else?

Does he know
You're a fringe agent?

Who freed you and your team
From the amber?

[grunting loudly,
Garbled thought]

Why did they free you?

What do they expect
To get from you?

[garbled thought]

[gasps]

You're partitioned.

Someone gave you information

Out of sequence.

They did this on purpose...

To protect something.

[groans]

Aaah!

(windmark)
how did you learn to fragment

your thoughts like that?

was it an "observer,"

as you call us,
who partitioned you?

No one else would know
How to do that.

The ideas are disparate

But part of a whole.

Put them together
For me, please.

Put them together
For me.

[gasping]

What plan?
To defeat us?

What are the elements
Of this plan?

Let me organize them
For you, please.

[gurgles]

You are fighting much more than
I would have thought possible.

Walter bishop,

If only i had a unifier,
I could unify ese thoughts.

I could go through the trouble
To get one,

But it would take weeks
To break the biology key

Specific
To your encryption.

[laughs]

But...

That doesn't mean i will not get
The information out.

It will make it harder
To get to it,

But it will me out.

[grus]

Who's the little girl?

Who's the little
Blonde girl?

She's helping you--

The tt blonde girl.

How can this small child
Be helping you?

What is her name?

(olivia)
she's amazing, peter.

There's just so many things
That i want to tell her

And so many things
Th iant to asker.

You will.

It's like living
This beautiful dream...

Inside of
A horrible nightmare.

Got him.

That's the napean building.

They took it over
A couple years ago.

Had to be that one.

(peter
anyone ever gotten in there?

No, but...

What?

We've been working
On this tech.

(klopinski)
anil, it's not perfected yet.

But it could work.

(peter)
so what is it?

It's tech which will make
Our bodies appear dead--

impossible for the baldies
to detect any life force.

But we've been saving it,
Because after we use it once,

They know we'll have it.

Sort of like reusing
The trojan horse.

(klopinski)
we could kill hundreds

of them with this tactic.

We could get in anywhere,

Including
Their headquarters.

Why save one man
With this?

The future.

I believe that
Wheveris plan is

To defeat the observers,
It will work.

Please.

Killing our enemies
Is one thing.

Saving the world
Is another.

Okay.let's do this.

Come with me.

Windmark wanted the bodies

Of these resistance fighters
Brought in.

I was wondering
Where you've been.

It's always brighter
When you're here.

You hear what happened?
What?

I was raised to level six.
Did i tell you?

That's great.

Hey, if i share
Something,

You promise
You won't tell?

Yeah.

They found agent foster
In amber.

your superior
was a double agent.

he was worki
with the resistance.

he was with someone
named william bell.

What did they do
With him?

That's above my pay grade.

Ask windmark yourself.

he'll certainly want to talk
to you about it.

These physics
In your mind,

They are also
Above your comprehension.

What are the stones
Utilized for?

I don't...

You must try.

What are t snes?

What is your plan
To defeat us?

Let down thealls.

I am your ally.

Nice watch.

And i want
His boots too.

Hey.

[gun[gasps]

What happened
To him?

Occupational hazard.

That's my girl.

What, they need this
To breathe?

(peter)
apparently. This one's only temporary.

They're building a more
Permanent one in central park.

They don't like clean air.

All right,
It always the red wire.

Unless it's the white wire.

[electronic beeping]

That did it.
Let's go.

Clearly,
We are done here.

I must say,

Your brain will make
An excellent specimen.

[computerized female voi]
Air control malfunction.

[alarm blares]

Air control malfunction.

Walter.

Is he okay?

I don't know.

Peter.

[alarm bell ringing,
Whooping]

(man)
To the front gate!

Oh, my god, walter.

Afro...

Do you have
Any music?

Hello, little girl.

Olivia.

I am so happy
You're alive.

Walter,
Do you recognize this?

It's what september
Nt you to find.

it's called
a thought unifier.

Or at least it was
Th o's long since de.

[electronic beeping]

He must have designed it
Specifically for you.

What's it used for?

Hewell, it's meanto llect
Specificand make sense

Of the scrambled plan
That september put in your mind.

What plan?

you told us
that you knew

All the parts of the plan,
All the elements.

You just weren't sure what they
Were supposed to be used for.

Walter,
Do you remember this?

Whose hand is that?

It's william bell's hand.

Yore out
Of your mind.

Why would we have
William bell's hand?

You said we needed
His handprint

So we could get access to one
Of his storage facilities.

I don't remember it.

i don't remember
any of it.

I've failed myself,
And i've failed the world.

what is onwith me?

What has happed to--
Walter.

I can't do it.

I can't even
Recognize myself.

[door closes]

It's like ere's nothing left
To unify.

All the parts are gone.

Or they took them.

It's more likely
They were destroyed

When he was fighting it.

Will they ever heal?

No.

The plan is ne.
