Previously on Fringe:

No, no, no!

Our daughter dedicated her life to freeing us.

Now we're gonna dedicate ours to making sure that means something.

I want that too.

I wasn't gonna stay for that much longer.

- I just needed to see her. - It's fine that you come here.

Just tell me. I wanna understand what you're going through.

You're right.

Their abilities are added by tech.

Well, hello there.

You are nothing. I would be 10 times what you are if I had that tech in my head!

I know what you have done.

You do not realize what is happening to you.

Excuse me.

There's Mueller. Call to him.

Ride with us.

There's something that I want to show you.

- I have a meeting. - You can be late. This will not take long.

Come on!

Hey, get out of the way!

Move!

Excuse me.

Peter, what's up?

Anil, I'm gonna need your help with something.

What took so long? You've been gone for over two hours.

He wasn't as interested in bartering as I anticipated. It took some convincing.

Gasoline for Neon Helium seemed like a fair trade to me.

You only got four.

It'll have to do.

- Hey. - You're back.

Ah, great, Peter.

More laser fuel. I'll hook this up after breakfast.

Get started. The world's not going to save itself.

- Chop, chop. - You left without me.

I wanted to go with you.

It was so early, you were sleeping, I didn't wanna wake you.

That's one way to put it.

The other is that you didn't sleep. Again.

That's true.

I couldn't sleep, but I'm fine.

You need to sleep, Peter.

- On the roof. - Follow me!

We're okay.

This is tape five of my plan to defeat the Observers.

This is what you must achieve next.

These cylinders were designed by the invaders.

They are beacons that allow them to locate different points in space-time.

You will need two of them.

This is where you will find them.

I know that building.

That was one of our labs at Kelvin Genetics.

Belly and I designed it.

From the east entrance, follow the hallway.

Two yellow doors will lead to a staircase.

At the bottom of that staircase you'll find the private storage of William Bell.

At the time of recording this...

...Bell was keeping two Observer cylinders in that storage facility.

You must retrieve them.

The doors are made of reinforced steel...

...and can be unlocked with Bell's handprint.

That's why you took Bell's hand when you were freed from the amber.

You said it was for a storage facility. It was for this.

--or if you learn that he is dead, you will have to unlock--

So that's why he was with us in the amber.

I needed him to get the cylinders.

Your freedom depends on it.

- Walter, that's not the only reason. - Hmm?

Well, before the invasion, you had been talking with Bell.

He said that that he wanted to help you defeat the Observers.

That he realized how important this was.

Then he betrayed us to gain favor with them.

I do remember something about this.

He came and I trusted him.

There was another man. He had an accent.

I was being tortured. They kept asking me something.

He kept asking...

...is it safe?

Then I escaped. Bell helped me.

Then he drove me right back where I was being questioned.

He worked for them. He worked for them.

Walter, that's from the movie Marathon Man.

- Hmm. - You called me in Boston.

You told me you were ready to implement the plan but you needed my help.

Then you sent me to Grand Central Station to collect the Thought Unifier.

By the time I got to you and Astrid, you were with William Bell.

The Observers found us, we realized the only way they would know where...

...is if he told them. Then you ambered us.

So if Bell led the Observers to you...

...how can we be sure the cylinders were even there to begin with?

Or if he even had them.

Let's open the storage and find out.

Fire up the laser, Agnes.

Let's get that hand out of amber.

Oh, my.

Is this it, Walter?

Yes. I used to drop acid right over there and watch the ships come in from the bay.

This was the east entrance.

The yellow doors to the underground storage are here somewhere.

The doors are there.

Peter?

From an engineering standpoint they'd have to be.

Peter, your ear.

When we closed the Observer shipping lane...

...Peter fired antimatter into it with an RPG.

Do you think maybe the blast damaged his ear?

How's your hearing, son?

My hearing's fine. I'm fine, really.

We'll examine you as soon as we get back to the lab.

What are you thinking, Astrid?

We have some antimatter batons left.

Maybe we could use them to clear a path to the door.

Antimatter would consume not only the debris...

...but the storage facility underneath as well.

What about Anil? He has man power.

- Maybe the Resistance will help us. - Heavy machinery we'd have to use...

...to clear away the rubble would draw too much attention.

We go through it.

It's Anil.

What do you mean, we go through it?

- How did it go? - I couldn't give him the briefcase.

- What happened? - I followed the baldy into the park.

- I did everything as you said. - You should've seen him sit at a bench.

Then stand up and forget his briefcase.

You would've approached him and given him the one I gave you.

He never forgot his briefcase, Peter.

He was sitting on the bench, I saw him get up...

...but he took his briefcase with him.

That's impossible.

Wait there, I'm coming to you.

Peter, we need to see Nina Sharp.

Walter thinks if we change the molecular structure...

...of the concrete, we can clear it.

Nina works for the Ministry of Science, she's got access to advanced technology.

You go talk to Nina. I have to meet with Anil.

Why?

He didn't want to say over the comm, just that it was important.

You've got that look on your face.

What look?

Ha, ha. The look that says, "I'm worried about you."

Should I be?

Absolutely not.

You go talk to Nina, I'll liberate myself a ride.

Ms. Sharp?

MS. Sharp?

L-- Push my afternoon meetings. I'll be out of the office for a bit.

I never thought I would see you again.

How are you holding up?

It's been hard.

But we're continuing on with Walter's plan.

For Etta.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Etta was very special to me.

And when Phillip told me...

I wanted to reach out to you so much, but I was afraid I would jeopardize your safety.

I know.

But now we have no choice.

We need your help, Nina.

Of course. Anything.

Despite the damage to the building, we think the underground storage is intact.

We just can't get to it.

I was hoping you would have access to technology that could...

...change the atomic structure of the rubble, help us clear it.

The Observers created a device that dramatically alters atmospheric pressure.

Speeding up molecules in all the matter in a controlled area...

...a process called sublimation.

You mean converting solid matter into gas?

So all the rubble would just evaporate.

Essentially, yes.

They use the technology to clear large areas of land for construction.

Like Central Park, when they were prepping it to build their air-degradation machine.

I'll meet you in the south side of the building in 10 minutes.

Are you angry with me, Walter?

Why should I be?

Because I told Etta and Simon...

...how to reimplant the portion of your brain you had removed.

- You did what was necessary. - Yes, I did.

We needed your intellect restored.

There was a lot at stake. There still is.

Have you noticed any changes in your personality since the implant?

Some.

Tissues are integrating faster than I thought.

The man I was before...

...do you see him in me now?

No.

But you would know better than I.

Are you worried?

The man I was before, he was...

...consumed by ambition, by hubris.

He never cared about anyone. All he cared about was walking with the gods.

It's different this time. I'm different.

I have Peter.

He won't let me become that man again.

Hastings, give Dr. Bishop anything he wants.

Yes, that, Dr. Bishop.

It would be an honor.

There must be a variable you're forgetting.

Tell me exactly what you saw. Every detail.

The baldy was sitting on the bench, writing in his notebook.

- Did he interact with anyone in the park? - No, not that I saw.

Did you see a little girl?

Playing with a yellow ball in front of the bench Royce was sitting on.

How could you know that?

Royce was supposed to be distracted by the kid as he got up.

- He was going to forget his briefcase. - He wasn't paying attention to a kid.

- He was talking on his comm. - He was on his comm?

It was too far away to hear anything.

He stood up, grabbed his briefcase, and walked away.

- That's it. - That's what?

The variable.

The one thing I failed to see, Royce on his comm.

- Peter, what are you talking about? - He's going to the restaurant next.

Give me the briefcase, I'll switch it there.

I know you have questions, Anil, but I have to ask you to trust me.

- What's this? - An address.

Go there and wait outside.

This is a baldy precinct.

At exactly 6:17, Royce and another Observer named Mueller will walk into that building.

Call me when they do.

- I'll comm you when they show. - Thank you.

- I'd like to check this. - Sure.

I haven't seen you in here before.

It's not really my crowd.

You better be careful.

You don't wanna get read.

You should get that.

Old trick.

How are you and Peter doing?

Peter doesn't sleep.

He leaves the lab at all these odd hours.

When he gets back and I ask him where he's been...

...he's always got an explanation...

...that-- That makes sense.

But...

I just think there's something he's not telling me.

I can feel it.

Well, he's been through a lot.

- You both have. - Yeah.

I'm not defending Peter.

I saw how isolated he made himself after Etta went missing...

...in the invasion.

I would say that, compared to that...

...he has come a long way.

I keep telling myself that this time, we're stronger.

But I'm worried that...

...I'm losing him again.

Hello, Cavatina.

I'm at work, Ronny.

Can we talk about this later because unlike you, I have a job.

This baby has an event radius of up to a thousand meters.

These rods mark the boundaries of whatever area you sublimate.

- What's this? - Don't touch that.

I haven't even showed you the power-up sequence yet.

You see this light here? It turns yellow, you're good.

A blue? That means the fission core is overheating.

A common design flaw in these gen-one models.

Blue...

...means FUD.

- Okay. - I'm worried about you, Walter.

What you said earlier.

That Peter would keep you from becoming the man you used to be.

I'm not sure that's enough.

I knew the man you were, you and William.

You both tested the limits of science, of the universe.

You felt that boundless power that comes with omnipotence.

You felt what it was like to be God.

You don't need to remind me, Nina. I was there.

Then you should know how hard I tried to hold onto William.

How much I loved him.

But that wasn't enough.

I wasn't enough.

Because nothing can compare to that feeling...

...to that kind of power.

So he let me go.

The reason you couldn't hold onto him is because he never loved you.

He never loved anyone except himself.

I've been fooled by him too many times to think anything else.

I know better and so should you.

You asked me before, if I saw him in you.

I just did.

The Walter I know would never say anything so cruel.

But the Walter who lay on an operating table in William's laboratory...

...begging to have pieces of his brain removed...

...for fear of what he would become...

...he would.

I've come a long way.

I love my son. He loves me.

That will save me.

For your sake, I hope that's true.

Walter.

We're ready.

Oh, there's one other thing you should know.

The Observers analyze change in the atmosphere.

Once you utilize the technology they will respond within minutes.

Okay. Then we'll have to be quick.

Thank you, Nina.

Good luck.

Is that ready, dear?

Well, come on down and set this one for me.

- Hello? - You managed to switch the briefcase.

What happened?

It was a success.

This place is crawling with baldies.

Go home, Anil. I'll contact you.

So, what did Anil want'?

I waited for him for over an hour, he didn't show.

That was him, calling to let me know he got stopped at a checkpoint.

Did he tell you why he wanted to meet?

No.

Olivia. Peter. We're ready.

So, what do we have?

A matter sublimation device.

It converts solid mass into gas.

- Perfect. - Stand by.

It's charged, Walter. Go ahead.

Belly, you monster.

What is it, Walter?

My Bowie.

He stole it. It's not enough that he institutionalized me...

...betrayed our friendship, he pilfered my record collection too.

We don't have time, Walter. Keep looking.

Guys.

I know this safe.

I remember when Belly had it built.

An extra measure of security to guard the things he valued most.

- Cylinders must be here. - You know the combination?

Of course. Belly used the same combination for everything.

He had a terrible memory. Too much LSD, I suppose.

- Walter? - Just-- Just give me a minute.

It's very simple. I just--

I think I have it.

Come on, Walter.

Nina said the Observers would detect the atmospheric change.

We've been down here too long already.

I'm sorry. It was so long ago.

Walter, if you don't think that you can do it, we should leave. Now.

Clear your head, Walter. Try to relax.

Think about the cylinders.

- You have all the time in the world. - Peter.

The Observers could be up there right now.

Take a deep breath, Walter.

Focus.

Five.

Twenty.

Ten.

I should have known better than to trust that scoundrel.

It was all a lie to lure me to the Observers.

He never cared about saving the world.

What is that?

I don't know. But whatever it is, it must have been valuable enough to Bell...

...for him to want to keep it in the safe.

What did you just do?

I have no idea.

Peter, careful. We don't know what's waiting for us.

Peter, where are you going?

I'll take my car. It's logical that we split up.

Olivia, before we go back to Boston, I'd like to make a stop first.

Nina.

Walter, did everything go okay?

Yes.

The device you gave us worked.

We have the cylinders.

Good.

Why did you want to see me?

I asked Olivia to bring me back because I wanted to give you this.

It was in William's safe.

I was wrong.

He did love you.

And it wasn't enough.

No.

I'm scared, Nina.

Every day that goes by I feel him more and more.

I'm losing myself.

I'm becoming the man I was.

And just like before, everyone that I care about...

...will be driven away and will suffer because of me.

I need you to take them out.

- What? - It's perfectly safe.

My intellect may be diminished slightly...

...but it's the only way to hold onto the man I've become.

Please, Nina.

You must remove these pieces of my brain.

Peter?

They're timelines.

Timelines for what?

For them.

Windmark's top lieutenants.

For security reasons, they are rarely in the same place at the same time.

Every movement, every interaction...

...every second of their day is accounted for.

Using this information, I can manipulate events.

The tech that gave them their advantage over us...

...I have it now.

That thing in their heads?

You've implanted one in yourself?

I've been following them.

They don't know where I am. But I know where they are:

Today, yesterday, and the day before that.

It gives me enough information to determine their probable futures.

Mueller was gonna get in a Town Car and be late to the meeting.

Royce would've left. I needed them there at the same time.

I made that happen.

What have you done?

I used a toxin from Walter's cold storage.

The flesh-eating toxin that killed everyone aboard flight 627.

Our first Fringe experience was their last.

That's why you knew that they wouldn't be coming for us at the storage site.

You knew that they would still be responding to your attack.

You can't do this.

This is dangerous.

We're going to avenge Etta.

Windmark is next.

I left and shook his hand

And made my way back home

I searched for form and land

Walter, is there anything I can get you before I go to sleep?

No, thank you, dear.

We did good today.

At all the millions here We must have died alone

A long, long time ago

Who knows? Not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world

To face

With the man who sold the world
