Fringe (2008–2013): Season 5, Episode 6 - Through the Looking Glass and What Walter Found There - full transcript
Walter retrieves another video tape from the amber and it leads the team into a pocket universe.
This plan will restore us
and rid the world
of the Observers.
Male announcer:
Previously on Fringe...
Edwin: A man came here and
went down into the mine.
His name was Donald.
I don't know any Donald.
He was taken away
against his will
by two invaders.
[Grunting]
You never know when to give up.
[Gunshot]
Etta.
No, no, no, no, no.
Olivia: Why would we get her
back just to lose her again?
[Cries]
Anil: Their abilities
are aided by tech.
I would be ten times
what you are if I had
that tech in my head.
[Grunts]

[Crack]
Walter: Hello, it's me.
But you know that already.
This is tape seven.
I don't have much time,
so I'm going to show you
how to get the next piece
of the plan
and explain on the way.
I am on Quincy Street
heading south.
Hey, I just wanted
to let you know
I'm gonna be a little late
getting back.
Uh, didn't want you guys
to worry.
I've got one more report
to file,
and then I'm out of here.
So I'll see you soon.

[Door opens]
Olivia: Peter?
Peter.
[Gun slips into holster]
How did you get here?
The monorail.
You didn't come home
this afternoon.
You weren't answering
your comm.
Yeah, I-I turned it off.
I wasn't going
to stay for that much longer.
[Sighs]
I just needed to see her.
I've thought
about coming here too.
I feel closer to her here.
No, it's okay.
Play it.
Play it.

I'm gonna be a little late

Peter, when you feel like this,
I just want you to include me.
It's fine that you come here.
Just tell me.
I want to understand
what you're going through,
and I want you to understand
what I'm going through.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
What is that?
When we collapsed the corridor,
one of the Observers nicked me.
It's okay.
I'm fine.
Here we are.
167 Cedar Street.
Now we need to make our way
to the fourth floor.
Apartment 413.
Hopefully without running
into this tyrannical--
Woman: You again.
You're a friend of that renter
up on four, aren't you?
Walter: More of a colleague.
Woman: Well, I don't know
what you're doing up there
in that apartment,
but if I hear
any more strange noise,
I'm calling the super.
[Indistinct chatter]
Do I know you?
I need
to get into apartment 413.
Is it occupied?
Fourth floor has been red-tagged
for 20 years.
Nobody goes up there.
Hey, what's your business here?
None of yours.

Through The Looking Glass
and What Walter Found There
Walter?
Walter?
Hey. I was wondering
where everybody was.
- Have you seen Walter?
- No, why?
Well, I went in to wake him up.
His bed has not been slept in.
He's not in the cold storage.
He also left the amber laser on
and on the floor.
The tape we were working on
last night
is already out of the amber.
I think he left.
He knows better
than to go out alone.
What the hell is he thinking?
At the moment,
I am on Quincy Street
heading south.
The red line
to Worcester Union Station.
- Whatever mode...
- Maybe he's gone off to follow this tape.
He's retracing his steps?
I have created, or rather,
we have created
a unique and efficient
hiding place
for a critical piece
of the plan
to defeat the Observers.
It is undetectable
to the Observers' instruments.
As I have mentioned--
may I help you?
[Softly] As I mentioned,
I have had some experience
with transversing
parallel universes.
What we have done is
we have opened a space
in the membrane that separates
the two universes.
A "pocket universe,"
if you will.
[Bus stop alert beeps]
This is very important.
Do not,
under any circumstances--
Is that raspberry filling?
Raspberry, is it?
Two.
Now, since
the pocket universe exists
in inter-dimensional space,
many of the usual laws
of physics won't apply.
And there are few places
on Earth
where two plus two
does not equal four.
And this is one of them.
It can be quite disturbing.
Try not to worry about it.
This tape will guide you
every step of the--
Here we are.
167 Cedar Street.
Cedar Street?
That's downtown Worcester.
Apartment 413...
167 is in the Q9 district.
That whole neighborhood
has been bombed out.
It's mostly abandoned.
Man: Hi, Walter.
Take this.
My arms are getting tired.
Uh, Donald...
Donald?
That was the name of the man
that was waiting for Walter,
- 21 years ago?
- Yeah.
Your eyes are
not deceiving you.
The effect is caused
by light refracted off--
well, never mind,
that's not important.
But down here,
these lines denote
the trans-dimensional
demarcation.
They'll prove useful.
You will need to refer to them.
Donald, leave the camera
with me.
[Softly] I realize,
whoever you are,
that this must seem
very complicated.
It is.
Extremely.
But don't fret.
It will all become clear
once we're safely inside.
The sequence goes like this.
Now, kick out 90 degrees
to the right.
Back 2 meters.
And then to the left.
And pivot 210 degrees
to the left.
And step out.
What happened?
Walter: And step out.
Is it damaged?
I don't see any grinding
or flecks of amber.
Astrid: Maybe they just
stopped recording.
Well, it doesn't make
any sense.
I mean, if Walter's gone
to retrieve
whatever it is that's
in this pocket universe,
then why would he go alone?
I don't know.
It's not like him.
[Door rattles]
Not that way.
[Panting]
[Eerie music]
♪
Oh!
Are you Donald?
No, I'm Cecil.
How did you get here?
Do you know
how to get out of here?
Yes, I do.
And you'll never know
if you keep threatening me.
How did you end up here, Cecil?
I was in one of the apartments.
The Resistance must have been
in the area
because the in--
the invaders hit
the whole block
with light bombs, and...
the last thing
I remember was a flash.
And then I woke up here.
You were blown into here.
The force of the explosion
of the light bombs
must have blown you here,
which is most likely
why you're still alive.
When did this happen?
[Stammers]
I've been here five days.
Five days?
But how have you survived?
There's no food here, no water.
There's water.
Show me.
It's mine.
If you hope
to ever get out of here,
you will show me.
- You sure this is the right place?
- I'm sure.
Cecil: Don't worry,
you won't fall.
[Dripping]
Cecil: I've managed almost
half a cup every night.
Something behind this wall.
Perhaps some kind of...
refrigeration unit.
That's what's causing
the condensation.
No. I've been
all around this place
every which way.
There's nothing
on the other side of this wall.
I'd like
to have a look for myself.
Follow me.
What I'd like to know
is how you know your way
in and out of here.
'Cause I've been here before.
I just can't remember it.
I'm surprised
he made it up there.
Walter's full
of surprises today.
Walter!
Peter: Walter!
I thought we were leaving.
Not until I find
what I came for.
For a while, I thought
this was purgatory.
[Door rattles]
What have you done
to deserve that?
The apartment I was in
wasn't mine.
I was stealing things.
I wouldn't have
been there otherwise.
What could be worth stealing
in those bombed out apartments?
They weren't bombed out
when I got there.
You've been here
five days, right?
Yeah.
Those apartments are condemned.
The building was blown up
20 years ago.
What year is it?
It's 2016.
It's 2036.
What are you talking about?
Perhaps, in some way,
you are in purgatory.
This is a pocket universe.
Time and space loop
in on themselves here.
So you can't get out.
That's why it just seemed
like days to you.
My wife is waiting for me.
Not anymore.
Let's go.
Look at these footprints.
He was here.
Olivia: He must have
gone into the pocket.
Walter: Kick out 90
degrees to the right.
Peter: There's only
one way to find out.
Walter: 2 meters,
and then to the left.
And pivot 210 degrees
to the left.
And step out.
Walter:
Donald, how are we doing?
Am I in focus?
Not yet.
I'll wait.
Peter: Look at this.
Back in the lab,
it went to black.
- It was the end of the tape.
- We're ready.
Peter:
And now there's more footage.
Well, how is that possible?
You are now
in the pocket universe.
Don't be alarmed.
You will notice that things
work differently here.
You'll see a door.
Go through it.
You'll see a long hallway.
- Turn...
- Left, Walter.
Walter:
Left. Thank you, Donald.
Looks like something
Walter would've designed
when he was tripping.
Walter: [Clears throat]
Follow me.
What you're about to find
is very important.
Captain Windmark,
I've just been alerted.
Walter Bishop has been sighted
in Quadrant 9.
You are certain.
Yes.
Walter: Now,
reaching the hallway, turn right.
[Laughs] Not left.
If you continue on to where
the hall you're in dead-ends,
you will find that it's
not a dead end at all.
Are you getting this, Donald?
Yes, Walter.
Because it doesn't look
like the camera's recording.
It's fine, Walter.
But the light's not on.
- He's right.
- Wait, no, now it is on.
This way.
Walter, wait.
What's wrong?
Why aren't you coming?
Oh, dear.
Are you afraid?
Peter: They're not alone.
There's nothing
to be afraid of.
- He's talking to somebody else.
- It's someone besides Donald?
Yeah, look.
His eye line is different.
Through the looking-glass,
and what Alice found there?
[Bang] This place is like that.
Walter!
There's nothing in there.
Olivia: Walter.
Olivia...
Peter.
Wait there.
Peter: Walter.
You know you're not supposed
to leave the lab alone.
I'm so sorry.
I don't understand.
All I thought about
was retrieving what was
on that tape.
I couldn't think
about anything else.
All I cared about was finding
the next piece of the plan.
Is that Donald, Walter?
No, it's collateral damage.
That's Cecil.
He is completely irrelevant
to the plan!
So what's he doing here?
He ended up here
through a series
of unfortunate events.
He was blown here
by an explosion.
When?
20 years ago,
but for him,
it's only been days.
Everything within this pocket
wraps in on itself,
including time.
That's why we have to hurry
and find whatever
it is I hid here.
Walter!
There's more on the tape.
You can't see it
until you enter the pocket.
Of course.
The time anomalies
wouldn't allow the camera
to operate properly.
Let me see.
The key is... to know
what you're looking for.
In this case,
we're looking for the apple.
The forbidden fruit.
The root of all knowledge.
It will mark the place
where you'll be staying...
for what, I promise,
will be a short time.
And it will be
safe and comfortable,
I assure you.
Who is that?
You honestly don't
recognize him?
It must have been wiped
from my mind,
like the other parts
of the plan.
No, Walter, it was
a case that we worked.
The boy,
he was living underground.
A demolition site.
Maybe Walter didn't
experience the case
in the same way that we did.
Is he one of them?
An Observer?
Well, at first, we thought
that he was just a boy.
But then he started
to exhibit empathic abilities.
He helped us find a murderer.
An empath.
Remarkable.
Why would I need an empath?
I don't know.
It was 20 years ago.
But not for him.
Like Cecil,
to him, he's only been waiting
for days.
Like I said on the tape,
we used this place to hide him,
to keep him safe
until someone could return
for him.
Press play, Peter.
Show me more.
We're nearly there.
Now we're looking for an apple.
This one.
What's that, Donald?
These markings
are very strange.
Of all the things
we've seen in here, Walter,
that's what you find strange?
There's the hand.
Walter: [Whispers] Well, I
wonder where it could be?
Would it be-- oh.
[Laughs] Oh-ho!
Here we are! [Laughs]
There it is.
Walter:
Oh, just wait here now.
Donald, please.
Here it is.
[Lock rattles]
He's not here.
Where is he?
Where is he?
[Dramatic music]
We designed this room
just for you.
You must stay here
and wait for us
to return and get you.
Oh, for us, it could be
quite a long time, but...
for you, it will seem
like no time at all.
[Laughs gently]
Now you see
where we've kept him.
To understand his purpose,
refer to tape eight.
Olivia: You definitely
left him here.
Maybe Donald moved him.
It has been 20 years.
Peter: Walter...
I think this is a portable
air-degradation unit.
Olivia: So he-- he
was an Observer.
What difference does it make?
He's gone.
Do you understand?
He was a part
of the plan somehow.
And without all of the parts,
the plan is useless!
- Walter, calm down.
- No, it's too late!
[Panting]
They must have gotten this
out of my mind.
Windmark!
He must have found the boy!
Everything we've done
is for nothing!
[Weakly] It's for nothing.
Walter?
Search parameters
remain the same.
Building to building...
Door to door.
Let's go.
Come with me.
Peter: There you are.
If the Observers had known
about this pocket,
they would have shut it down
a long time ago.
The only person other than you
that knew this place existed
and how to navigate it
is Donald.
That makes sense.
But why would he move the boy?
I don't know.
Maybe he thinks you're dead.
We were missing
for a long time.
And you have no idea
who Donald is,
where you met him, nothing?
No.
We have to find him.
Donald.
Whoever he is.
It's the only way
we'll ever know for sure.
Walter, Peter?
I think I've got something.
Olivia: It's not there.
Did you see this radio
anywhere in that room?
- No.
- No.
I think whoever took the boy
left this behind.
- Purposely?
- Mm-hmm.
Batteries must be dead.
Or it doesn't work
in this pocket.
Like the video camera,
things work differently here.
- So once we get it outside...
Walter: Of course.
That's brilliant, Olivia.
And perhaps it will
somehow help us get to Donald.
Assuming he's still alive.
So should we get out of here?
Please.
Oh, come on, guys.
Oh!

Walter, we have to move.
Back down the stairs.
Go. Go!
Peter: Stop.
This way.
That's it.

Yeah.

I'll draw them off and meet you
at the monorail.
Go!
[Gunshot] Oh!
Peter: [Grunts]
[Sighs]
[Grunting]
I know what you have done.
You have made a grave mistake.
You do not realize
what is happening to you.
Over PA:
...the doors are closing.
[Indistinct chatter]
Woman over PA:
Clear the walkway.
Walter, he's not coming.
We got to go back for him.
Peter.
How'd you do that?
Do what?
Get us out of there?
How'd you find your way back
to the portal?
I don't know, but I'll take it.
Woman over PA:
Please take your seats.
[Passengers murmuring]
What's wrong?
Olivia: This radio was left for
us in the pocket universe.
Look, the tuning dial
has been jammed.
It's, like, stuck
on one frequency.
Why?
Nothing's being transmitted.
Not yet.
You okay, Walter?
I can't stop thinking
about that man.
All he wanted
was to get out of there.
And I didn't help him.
I didn't care about him.
All I cared about--
Saving the world.
Walter.
You are not responsible
for that man's death.
He died 20 years ago,
the night he broke
into that apartment
and the light bomb went off.
If it wasn't for your pocket,
he would have died
then and there.
Perhaps.
I saw a man...
half-starved.
And I used him
because it suited me.
Because he was nothing more
than an acceptable loss
as long as I got what I needed.
Is that who I am, Peter?
Is that something you can see
coming from my mind?
From my heart?
Am I the person that would...
leave in the middle
of the night
- on his own?
- Walter.
Those are the actions
of a man of hubris, arrogance.
That's not me, Peter.
It's him.
Him?
Don't you see?
I'm not safe.
It's my mind.
Ever since the pieces
of my brain
were reimplanted,
it's been changing... me...
back into the man I was before.
Bit by bit.
I'm losing myself, Pete.
I'm losing the man
that you helped me become.
Listen to me.
I'm not gonna let that happen.
We need you.
You are our only hope
to defeat the Observers.
And I'm gonna be here with you,
every step of the way.
Please, son,
whatever happens,
don't let me go.
I won't, dad.
I promise.

which is most likely
why you're still alive.
When did this happen?
[Stammers]
I've been here five days.
Five days?
But how have you survived?
There's no food here, no water.
There's water.
Show me.
It's mine.
If you hope
to ever get out of here,
you will show me.
- You sure this is the right place?
- I'm sure.
Cecil: Don't worry,
you won't fall.
[Dripping]
Cecil: I've managed almost
half a cup every night.
Something behind this wall.
Perhaps some kind of...
refrigeration unit.
That's what's causing
the condensation.
No. I've been
all around this place
every which way.
There's nothing
on the other side of this wall.
I'd like
to have a look for myself.
Follow me.
What I'd like to know
is how you know your way
in and out of here.
'Cause I've been here before.
I just can't remember it.
I'm surprised
he made it up there.
Walter's full
of surprises today.
Walter!
Peter: Walter!
I thought we were leaving.
Not until I find
what I came for.
For a while, I thought
this was purgatory.
[Door rattles]
What have you done
to deserve that?
The apartment I was in
wasn't mine.
I was stealing things.
I wouldn't have
been there otherwise.
What could be worth stealing
in those bombed out apartments?
They weren't bombed out
when I got there.
You've been here
five days, right?
Yeah.
Those apartments are condemned.
The building was blown up
20 years ago.
What year is it?
It's 2016.
It's 2036.
What are you talking about?
Perhaps, in some way,
you are in purgatory.
This is a pocket universe.
Time and space loop
in on themselves here.
So you can't get out.
That's why it just seemed
like days to you.
My wife is waiting for me.
Not anymore.
Let's go.
Look at these footprints.
He was here.
Olivia: He must have
gone into the pocket.
Walter: Kick out 90
degrees to the right.
Peter: There's only
one way to find out.
Walter: 2 meters,
and then to the left.
And pivot 210 degrees
to the left.
And step out.
Walter:
Donald, how are we doing?
Am I in focus?
Not yet.
I'll wait.
Peter: Look at this.
Back in the lab,
it went to black.
- It was the end of the tape.
- We're ready.
Peter:
And now there's more footage.
Well, how is that possible?
You are now
in the pocket universe.
Don't be alarmed.
You will notice that things
work differently here.
You'll see a door.
Go through it.
You'll see a long hallway.
- Turn...
- Left, Walter.
Walter:
Left. Thank you, Donald.
Looks like something
Walter would've designed
when he was tripping.
Walter: [Clears throat]
Follow me.
What you're about to find
is very important.
Captain Windmark,
I've just been alerted.
Walter Bishop has been sighted
in Quadrant 9.
You are certain.
Yes.
Walter: Now,
reaching the hallway, turn right.
[Laughs] Not left.
If you continue on to where
the hall you're in dead-ends,
you will find that it's
not a dead end at all.
Are you getting this, Donald?
Yes, Walter.
Because it doesn't look
like the camera's recording.
It's fine, Walter.
But the light's not on.
- He's right.
- Wait, no, now it is on.
This way.
Walter, wait.
What's wrong?
Why aren't you coming?
Oh, dear.
Are you afraid?
Peter: They're not alone.
There's nothing
to be afraid of.
- He's talking to somebody else.
- It's someone besides Donald?
Yeah, look.
His eye line is different.
Through the looking-glass,
and what Alice found there?
[Bang] This place is like that.
Walter!
There's nothing in there.
Olivia: Walter.
Olivia...
Peter.
Wait there.
Peter: Walter.
You know you're not supposed
to leave the lab alone.
I'm so sorry.
I don't understand.
All I thought about
was retrieving what was
on that tape.
I couldn't think
about anything else.
All I cared about was finding
the next piece of the plan.
Is that Donald, Walter?
No, it's collateral damage.
That's Cecil.
He is completely irrelevant
to the plan!
So what's he doing here?
He ended up here
through a series
of unfortunate events.
He was blown here
by an explosion.
When?
20 years ago,
but for him,
it's only been days.
Everything within this pocket
wraps in on itself,
including time.
That's why we have to hurry
and find whatever
it is I hid here.
Walter!
There's more on the tape.
You can't see it
until you enter the pocket.
Of course.
The time anomalies
wouldn't allow the camera
to operate properly.
Let me see.
The key is... to know
what you're looking for.
In this case,
we're looking for the apple.
The forbidden fruit.
The root of all knowledge.
It will mark the place
where you'll be staying...
for what, I promise,
will be a short time.
And it will be
safe and comfortable,
I assure you.
Who is that?
You honestly don't
recognize him?
It must have been wiped
from my mind,
like the other parts
of the plan.
No, Walter, it was
a case that we worked.
The boy,
he was living underground.
A demolition site.
Maybe Walter didn't
experience the case
in the same way that we did.
Is he one of them?
An Observer?
Well, at first, we thought
that he was just a boy.
But then he started
to exhibit empathic abilities.
He helped us find a murderer.
An empath.
Remarkable.
Why would I need an empath?
I don't know.
It was 20 years ago.
But not for him.
Like Cecil,
to him, he's only been waiting
for days.
Like I said on the tape,
we used this place to hide him,
to keep him safe
until someone could return
for him.
Press play, Peter.
Show me more.
We're nearly there.
Now we're looking for an apple.
This one.
What's that, Donald?
These markings
are very strange.
Of all the things
we've seen in here, Walter,
that's what you find strange?
There's the hand.
Walter: [Whispers] Well, I
wonder where it could be?
Would it be-- oh.
[Laughs] Oh-ho!
Here we are! [Laughs]
There it is.
Walter:
Oh, just wait here now.
Donald, please.
Here it is.
[Lock rattles]
He's not here.
Where is he?
Where is he?
[Dramatic music]
We designed this room
just for you.
You must stay here
and wait for us
to return and get you.
Oh, for us, it could be
quite a long time, but...
for you, it will seem
like no time at all.
[Laughs gently]
Now you see
where we've kept him.
To understand his purpose,
refer to tape eight.
Olivia: You definitely
left him here.
Maybe Donald moved him.
It has been 20 years.
Peter: Walter...
I think this is a portable
air-degradation unit.
Olivia: So he-- he
was an Observer.
What difference does it make?
He's gone.
Do you understand?
He was a part
of the plan somehow.
And without all of the parts,
the plan is useless!
- Walter, calm down.
- No, it's too late!
[Panting]
They must have gotten this
out of my mind.
Windmark!
He must have found the boy!
Everything we've done
is for nothing!
[Weakly] It's for nothing.
Walter?
Search parameters
remain the same.
Building to building...
Door to door.
Let's go.
Come with me.
Peter: There you are.
If the Observers had known
about this pocket,
they would have shut it down
a long time ago.
The only person other than you
that knew this place existed
and how to navigate it
is Donald.
That makes sense.
But why would he move the boy?
I don't know.
Maybe he thinks you're dead.
We were missing
for a long time.
And you have no idea
who Donald is,
where you met him, nothing?
No.
We have to find him.
Donald.
Whoever he is.
It's the only way
we'll ever know for sure.
Walter, Peter?
I think I've got something.
Olivia: It's not there.
Did you see this radio
anywhere in that room?
- No.
- No.
I think whoever took the boy
left this behind.
- Purposely?
- Mm-hmm.
Batteries must be dead.
Or it doesn't work
in this pocket.
Like the video camera,
things work differently here.
- So once we get it outside...
Walter: Of course.
That's brilliant, Olivia.
And perhaps it will
somehow help us get to Donald.
Assuming he's still alive.
So should we get out of here?
Please.
Oh, come on, guys.
Oh!

[Grunts]
Walter, we have to move.
Back down the stairs.
Go. Go!
Peter: Stop.
This way.
That's it.
You found it, Peter.
Peter:
Olivia, cross right here.
[Grunts]
[Gun clicking]
[Gunshot]
Peter: You okay?
Yeah.
[Gunshot]
[Gunshots]
[Gunshots]
Olivia, move.
There's no time.
Get Walter out of here.
I'll draw them off and meet you
at the monorail.
Go!
[Gunshot] Oh!
Peter: [Grunts]
[Sighs]
[Grunting]
I know what you have done.
You have made a grave mistake.
You do not realize
what is happening to you.
Over PA:
...the doors are closing.
[Indistinct chatter]
Woman over PA:
Clear the walkway.
Walter, he's not coming.
We got to go back for him.
Peter.
How'd you do that?
Do what?
Get us out of there?
How'd you find your way back
to the portal?
I don't know, but I'll take it.
Woman over PA:
Please take your seats.
[Passengers murmuring]
What's wrong?
Olivia: This radio was left for
us in the pocket universe.
Look, the tuning dial
has been jammed.
It's, like, stuck
on one frequency.
Why?
Nothing's being transmitted.
Not yet.
You okay, Walter?
I can't stop thinking
about that man.
All he wanted
was to get out of there.
And I didn't help him.
I didn't care about him.
All I cared about--
Saving the world.
Walter.
You are not responsible
for that man's death.
He died 20 years ago,
the night he broke
into that apartment
and the light bomb went off.
If it wasn't for your pocket,
he would have died
then and there.
Perhaps.
I saw a man...
half-starved.
And I used him
because it suited me.
Because he was nothing more
than an acceptable loss
as long as I got what I needed.
Is that who I am, Peter?
Is that something you can see
coming from my mind?
From my heart?
Am I the person that would...
leave in the middle
of the night
- on his own?
- Walter.
Those are the actions
of a man of hubris, arrogance.
That's not me, Peter.
It's him.
Him?
Don't you see?
I'm not safe.
It's my mind.
Ever since the pieces
of my brain
were reimplanted,
it's been changing... me...
back into the man I was before.
Bit by bit.
I'm losing myself, Pete.
I'm losing the man
that you helped me become.
Listen to me.
I'm not gonna let that happen.
We need you.
You are our only hope
to defeat the Observers.
And I'm gonna be here with you,
every step of the way.
Please, son,
whatever happens,
don't let me go.
I won't, dad.
I promise.
