We could never triangulate their point of origin. 109 00:09:10,175 --> 00:09:13,136 This one, we picked up four years ago. 110 00:09:22,645 --> 00:09:26,149 Some people think they may be covert communications between spies... 111 00:09:26,316 --> 00:09:27,484 Or drug traffickers. 112 00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:31,029 Problem is, no one has been able to find proof to support any theory... 113 00:09:31,196 --> 00:09:32,655 So they remain unexplained. 114 00:09:32,822 --> 00:09:35,492 But the number broadcasts have never caused amnesia? 115 00:09:35,658 --> 00:09:36,993 Not to the best of our knowledge. 116 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,870 Walter: Perhaps Peter would like to play... 117 00:09:39,037 --> 00:09:41,331 Last night's tape aloud to everyone. 118 00:09:41,498 --> 00:09:45,126 Given his recent fondness for dangerous activity. 119 00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:51,841 As soon as she's up to it, I'd like to examine the woman who lost her mind. 120 00:09:52,008 --> 00:09:56,679 And I think I know a way to analyze the tape without losing our memories. 121 00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:04,354 Oh.

He won't help. 133 00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:47,605 He keeps setting up roadblocks for Peter. 134 00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:52,110 You know, you two go back a long way. Maybe you could talk to him. 135 00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:55,155 What, you're not having any luck? 136 00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:57,490 Oh, I haven't tried. 137 00:10:57,824 --> 00:11:01,244 But that's not like you. You're usually more direct with Walter. 138 00:11:03,913 --> 00:11:06,791 It's complicated between them. I don't wanna make it worse. 139 00:11:11,629 --> 00:11:14,090 I'll speak with Walter. 140 00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:16,593 Dunham. 141 00:11:16,926 --> 00:11:19,637 Yes?

Whoever did this was a pro. 146 00:11:35,945 --> 00:11:38,531 But there's something else. 147 00:12:31,334 --> 00:12:32,961 Olivia: How the hell's it doing that? 148 00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:37,590 It's not floating exactly. Apparently it's got some sort of magnetics inside. 149 00:12:39,801 --> 00:12:42,303 Do you think this was the source of last night's broadcast? 150 00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:45,181 Broyles: This is definitely wired to output a transmission. 151 00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:48,017 Hold on. I wanna see that panel. 152 00:12:49,185 --> 00:12:51,604 I need the print powder. 153 00:12:58,569 --> 00:13:01,030 It's impossible to do microelectronics with gloves on. 154 00:13:01,197 --> 00:13:03,199 Let's get this to Dr. Bishop. 155 00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:09,539 This should keep me busy for... 156 00:13:09,706 --> 00:13:11,666 Eternity. 157 00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:13,376 Thank you. 158 00:13:13,543 --> 00:13:17,380 Okay. That was Olivia. They're analyzing the fingerprints they found at the tower. 159 00:13:17,588 --> 00:13:20,550 They think they found the device used to upload last night's broadcast. 160 00:13:22,385 --> 00:13:24,137 Walter: Ah. 161 00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:26,723 What's that? 162 00:13:31,728 --> 00:13:33,313 "Property of massive dynamic"? 163 00:13:33,479 --> 00:13:35,481 It's not theft if you own the company. 164 00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:39,736 I've found a way to listen to the tape of the numbers broadcast... 165 00:13:39,902 --> 00:13:42,238 Without losing what faculties ihavelefi. 166 00:13:42,405 --> 00:13:43,531 How'd you manage that? 167 00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:47,410 The key is analog demodulation. 168 00:13:48,995 --> 00:13:53,541 I knew my Jimi Hendrix wah-wah pedal would come in handy. Take a look. 169 00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:55,335 This is the sound of the transmission... 170 00:13:57,253 --> 00:13:59,339 Modified so it's safe, of course. 171 00:13:59,505 --> 00:14:01,924 But if we demodulate... 172 00:14:05,928 --> 00:14:08,222 Peter: So there are two signals? Walter: Precisely. 173 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:10,099 The top wave is the numbers. 174 00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:13,561 The bottom wave, which I have suppressed, is a pulse. 175 00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:16,356 And I believe that this is responsible for the amnesia. 176 00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:20,068 Someone found a way to attach this pulse to the numbers broadcast. 177 00:14:20,234 --> 00:14:22,362 That explains why nobody's been affected... 178 00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:26,115 By listening to number stations before. They're not causing the problem. 179 00:14:26,282 --> 00:14:28,409 So we still don't know where the numbers come from. 180 00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:31,621 But I suspect that the device that agent Dunham found... 181 00:14:31,788 --> 00:14:34,123 Is the source of the pulse. 182 00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:38,544 Okay, but who would do this?

Fifteen. 364 00:28:43,639 --> 00:28:47,309 - And, uh, eight, 42, 40, yeah. - Eight, 42, 40. 365 00:28:49,144 --> 00:28:50,646 The numbers of the first broadcast... 366 00:28:50,812 --> 00:28:52,773 Correspond with the numbers in this book. 367 00:28:52,940 --> 00:28:55,234 They match the numbers of this calendar. 368 00:28:55,442 --> 00:28:58,320 I never thought I'd say this, but I think markham's right. 369 00:28:58,487 --> 00:29:01,949 Somehow these number stations are connected to the first people. 370 00:29:02,115 --> 00:29:04,243 What the hell does that mean? 371 00:29:12,167 --> 00:29:14,795 Walter: It's fascinating. Remarkable. Read more. 372 00:29:14,962 --> 00:29:17,631 You don't actually believe this? An ancient people... 373 00:29:17,798 --> 00:29:22,427 Who evolved before the dinosaurs just vanished without a trace? 374 00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:23,804 It's absurd. 375 00:29:23,971 --> 00:29:27,140 Why should we be so arrogant as to assume that... 376 00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,935 We're the first homo sap/ens to walk the earth? 377 00:29:30,102 --> 00:29:32,312 History is full of extinction events. 378 00:29:32,479 --> 00:29:35,816 - Climate change, meteorites, Atlantis... - Atlantis? 379 00:29:35,983 --> 00:29:38,986 - Peter, help me out here. - I don't know what I believe yet. 380 00:29:39,152 --> 00:29:42,656 Their calendar corresponds with the numbers of the first broadcast. 381 00:29:42,823 --> 00:29:44,157 That can't be a coincidence. 382 00:29:44,324 --> 00:29:46,618 "They were a people of technological prowess... 383 00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,453 Who made the ultimate discovery: 384 00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:51,373 A mechanism known to them as 'the vacuum.' 385 00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:55,168 containing at once both the power to create and to destroy." 386 00:29:55,335 --> 00:29:59,047 The vacuum. What a wonderful name. And it verifies some of my theories. 387 00:29:59,214 --> 00:30:01,300 What theories? Create and destroy what? 388 00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:03,135 Well, everything. 389 00:30:03,302 --> 00:30:06,138 Many religions speak of such a power. 390 00:30:06,305 --> 00:30:09,308 And science. The big bang, and its counterpart, the big crunch. 391 00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:13,228 The universe expanding and contracting and expanding. 392 00:30:13,437 --> 00:30:16,231 An endless cycle of creation and destruction. 393 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,694 Okay, let's run with that. Let's say these first people did create this mechanism. 394 00:30:21,069 --> 00:30:23,905 And then somehow translated it into a code. 395 00:30:24,072 --> 00:30:28,076 And now someone is wiping people's memories to keep the code a secret? 396 00:30:28,744 --> 00:30:33,540 It's not so surprising. It's the key to the universe. 397 00:30:33,707 --> 00:30:36,752 It's a secret worth protecting. 398 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,587 Hey. Sorry I'm late. 399 00:30:38,754 --> 00:30:41,840 I thought these might cheer you up. 400 00:30:42,382 --> 00:30:43,884 Walter: Oh. 401 00:30:44,259 --> 00:30:47,387 Oh. Malasadas! Oh, wonderful. 402 00:30:49,473 --> 00:30:51,850 - Anything new in the book? - The numbers hold the answers. 403 00:30:52,017 --> 00:30:54,394 But beyond that, nothing tangible. 404 00:30:54,561 --> 00:30:56,396 Peter: Wait a minute. 405 00:30:57,689 --> 00:31:01,276 Hey, Walter. Come here, take a look at this. 406 00:31:04,780 --> 00:31:08,867 This transistor is newer than the rest of them. 407 00:31:11,745 --> 00:31:13,246 Somebody must've replaced it. 408 00:31:14,498 --> 00:31:16,750 It's Polish, and it's military grade. 409 00:31:16,917 --> 00:31:20,587 A couple places are licensed to sell parts like that. They're all regulated. 410 00:31:21,421 --> 00:31:24,132 Which means you have to give a verified address to buy one. 411 00:31:24,299 --> 00:31:26,259 I'm gonna make some phone calls. 412 00:31:27,302 --> 00:31:29,596 - May I borrow that? - Mm-hm. 413 00:31:31,598 --> 00:31:34,267 I feel a bowel movement coming on. 414 00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:41,566 Can you tell Peter I'll be back? I'm gonna let Broyles know where we're at. 415 00:31:55,789 --> 00:31:58,125 Walter: Avocado, cucumber and cheese. 416 00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:04,506 In 1974 the CIA asked me to develop the best sandwich for clarity of thought. 417 00:32:04,673 --> 00:32:06,591 There's too much information here. 418 00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:10,637 Of course, the chips are just because I like foods that crunch. 419 00:32:12,431 --> 00:32:14,015 There has to be a pattern here. 420 00:32:14,182 --> 00:32:16,810 Every code relies on a pattern. I just need to see it. 421 00:32:16,977 --> 00:32:20,272 But you can't. That's your problem. 422 00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:23,525 - Thanks for the vote of confidence. - Oh, no, no, no. 423 00:32:23,692 --> 00:32:27,112 No, I simply meant that to break the code... 424 00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:29,030 You'd have to think like they did. 425 00:32:29,197 --> 00:32:31,658 And they lived millions and millions of years ago. 426 00:32:31,825 --> 00:32:35,454 I mean, for one thing, look at their concept of time. 427 00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:37,372 Nine days in a month. 428 00:32:37,956 --> 00:32:41,001 If you're not going to eat those chips, may I? 429 00:32:43,879 --> 00:32:45,505 What? What happened? 430 00:32:47,716 --> 00:32:51,470 Here. Read me this calendar. How many days are in each month? 431 00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:53,722 - —Why? - Humor me. 432 00:32:55,682 --> 00:32:58,351 The first two have 12 and 34. 433 00:33:00,353 --> 00:33:02,814 Then 17, nine, 15. 434 00:33:03,523 --> 00:33:04,691 What are you thinking? 435 00:33:04,858 --> 00:33:08,195 That maybe what we're missing is a cipher matrix. 436 00:33:09,613 --> 00:33:11,823 Our decoder ring. 437 00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,911 Okay, what are the next months? 438 00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:21,500 Eight, 42, 40, 27... 439 00:33:34,054 --> 00:33:35,931 Olivia: We got a problem. 440 00:33:38,725 --> 00:33:40,936 The secretary said we weren't supposed to meet. 441 00:33:41,144 --> 00:33:43,855 He's on the other side. He can't foresee every event. 442 00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:47,192 You replaced a transistor in one of the boxes? Polish. 443 00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:51,154 They found it. They're tracking the sale as we speak. 444 00:33:51,571 --> 00:33:53,573 - Who are these people? - You were sloppy. 445 00:33:53,740 --> 00:33:56,952 - You jeopardized the mission. - I upload another pulse tomorrow. 446 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,411 You've done enough. 447 00:33:58,578 --> 00:34:02,082 We've got their attention.

At the end of the points? 487 00:36:55,130 --> 00:36:57,549 So far as I can tell? Nothing special. 488 00:36:57,716 --> 00:37:01,386 A farmhouse, a public swimming pool, random stuff like that. 489 00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:04,472 We're not looking for a manmade structure. 490 00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:07,475 If this message is millions of years old... 491 00:37:07,642 --> 00:37:11,563 Then we're likely talking about something buried beneath the earth. 492 00:37:14,524 --> 00:37:15,984 How many locations? 493 00:37:16,151 --> 00:37:20,196 I haven't finished plugging in all the numbers, but so far, 22. 494 00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:25,827 And what's the closest one? 495 00:37:44,512 --> 00:37:45,930 Peter: What'd I miss? 496 00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:50,268 Uh, thank you. Nothing yet. They just pulled up an old buried football, so... 497 00:37:50,477 --> 00:37:52,604 I had to go back. I forgot to say skim. 498 00:37:54,022 --> 00:37:56,191 You walked there twice? You didn't have to do that. 499 00:37:56,357 --> 00:37:59,569 I had a motive. It's the little things that make me irresistible. 500 00:38:04,365 --> 00:38:06,034 What if he's right? 501 00:38:06,201 --> 00:38:08,745 - Walter. - Right about what? 502 00:38:08,912 --> 00:38:10,789 I've been thinking, Peter. 503 00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:14,125 Your father's concerned about building Walternate's device. 504 00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:18,087 What if it does mean the destruction of one universe or the other? 505 00:38:21,716 --> 00:38:23,718 We don't know that yet. 506 00:38:27,263 --> 00:38:28,932 That's not really my point. 507 00:38:32,727 --> 00:38:38,274 If you knew that only one of our worlds could survive... 508 00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:43,279 And if it was up to you and you alone to defend your side... 509 00:38:45,657 --> 00:38:47,575 You'd have no choice, right? 510 00:38:47,742 --> 00:38:52,163 I mean, you would have to do what you had to do... 511 00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:57,544 No matter the cost, to protect our world. 512 00:39:02,257 --> 00:39:05,260 There are billions of innocent people over there. 513 00:39:06,761 --> 00:39:11,850 Just like here. People with jobs, families, lives. 514 00:39:15,436 --> 00:39:18,106 I gotta believe there's another way. 515 00:39:19,941 --> 00:39:22,986 And whatever my part in all of this is... 516 00:39:25,321 --> 00:39:27,824 I gotta believe there's another way. 517 00:39:29,659 --> 00:39:31,619 There's always hope, right? 518 00:39:33,872 --> 00:39:35,206 Foreman: We got something! 519 00:40:20,668 --> 00:40:22,420 Oh, my. 520 00:40:31,846 --> 00:40:32,889 Dunham. 521 00:40:33,056 --> 00:40:36,351 I just identified the last coordinates. Milton, Massachusetts. 522 00:40:36,517 --> 00:40:40,396 The house where the first piece of Walternate's machine was buried. 523 00:40:43,066 --> 00:40:46,861 Do you think it's possible that these locations are all part of the machine? 524 00:40:47,236 --> 00:40:52,033 That Walternate's device is the vacuum described in the first people book? 525 00:40:54,702 --> 00:40:56,371 Uh, yes. 526 00:40:56,955 --> 00:40:59,248 I think they're one and the same. 527 00:41:07,048 --> 00:41:09,217 Astrid finished the code. 528 00:41:09,550 --> 00:41:11,469 There are 37 more locations. 529 00:41:15,098 --> 00:41:17,809 In that case, it seems we have work to do. 530 00:41:18,434 --> 00:41:23,398 We'll have to recover the pieces, assemble it and figure out how it works. 531 00:41:31,698 --> 00:41:36,077 Creation and destruction. I suppose we'll have to hope for the former. 532 00:42:28,755 --> 00:42:31,007 - Dunham. - Agent Dunham, this is Brandon fayette. 533 00:42:31,174 --> 00:42:34,135 Olivia: Oh, Brandon, hey.
