for the past three weeks.
A shared vision like this—
he must be real.
Father and son just pulled a man
from the middle of Reiden Lake.
He knows things no one outside this division
could possibly know.
Olivia, thank God you're here.
Who are you?
He's saying that his name is Peter Bishop.
Hello, Walter.
I don't know who you are
or why you claim to be my son.
My son drowned.
I know this must be confusing for you.
I need you to help me figure out
why no one remembers me.
Why you don't remember me.
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,
and 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?
We can't ignore the problem, Peter.
Ignoring it won't make it go away.
I don't understand.
What's the problem?
You're the problem.
I'm sorry if I woke you up.
That'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.
Ew, get it away from me.
Got you. It's fake, mommy.
See. Thank goodness.
'Cause you never know when a spider's
gonna get you.
Okay, I'm almost done here,
and then we'll read together, okay?
What are you in the mood for?
Burlap Bear.
That's my favorite.
Samantha?
Sam?
Sam, where are you?
Oh, my God.
Mommy. Mommy, what is it?
Oh, my. Sam.
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
So what are you thinking?
First chance I've had to look outside
since I got back.
Looks exactly like I remembered.
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 deja vu.
Well, it's not just deja vu.
Some of them are reporting time loops.
I don't really know what that means.
I mean, what is a time loop?
Like Groundhog Day?
Look, 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 really want
to have anything to do with you.
- Dunham. Hey, 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 extend
to the infected area." Did you spray?
Yeah. Twice.
No reaction.
Maybe third time's the charm.
Negative.
There's no change in color
or anything.
It would seem that this event
is not caused by a bleed-through
from the other Universe.
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.
It looks like there was a fire here
but with no apparent cause.
The damage just happened in an instant.
A flash fire?
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 five-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.
Well, 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. Let's see.
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.
Fire Marshal said that there was another fire
here four years ago.
Well, that 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 immediately.
Walter is refusing to do anything that involves him.
Dr. Bishop 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've completed the examination,
and I conclude that this subject
is not the cause of the time-related phenomena.
Walter, you couldn't possibly
know that so quickly.
If I was erased from this timeline
and then thrown back into it,
then 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.
If he won't help me, I'll just do it myself.
Does he still keep all his notes on worm holes
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.
And I think that, when I came back here,
I somehow damaged the space-time continuum.
And, 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 yet,
but, as far as I can tell,
these anomalies are just gonna keep on increasing
exponentially.
I mean, if we can judge anything by the damage
done by that fire in the apartment,
these things are just gonna keep on getting worse.
We're already over an hour late.
Why does this always happen?
Relax, Creeper. We're totally gonna make it
in time for the bands that don't suck anyway.
Whatever. You just think Aluminum Rain
rules the known universe.
Yeah, some day they're gonna make it big
and you two are gonna say you liked 'em all along.
Dylan, this is my solemn promise.
I will never say
that I liked Aluminum Rain.
Look out!
Oh, my God.
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 deja vu
to the FBI, we can assume
that there is 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 just go back to the site
and get some more—
Agent Dunham,
I was going to make a bologna sandwich.
Would you care for one?
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.
So I don't know. Maybe you
and Walter were seeing 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 all fine. The car stopped just in time.
Let's take my car.
I'll come with you guys.
If I'm causing some sort of cosmic disruption,
then there's gonna be heightened levels of Alpha radiation,
but I'm gonna need more specific readings.
The full spectrum of E.M. waves,
not just the...
And did you have any warning
that the train might be coming?
No, it— it just came out of nowhere.
No bells or— or anything.
So when you say that 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.
Something wrong?
How did we get here?
Um, we drove.
You all right?
No.
I am not all right.
I think I just had a time jump.
You're sure about that?
Okay, thanks.
The transit authority
said that railroad line was decommissioned.
The last train to run on that track
was four years ago.
Sound familiar?
The 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 PD 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.
I was wondering if I could ask you a couple questions.
What do you want to know?
So you were with another two people?
Who were they?
Yeah, um, a girl in the front
and a girl in the back.
So when you say that the train disappeared,
what did you mean exactly?
Kind of like it was in brackets.
In brackets?
Not like a bubble? Because—
and then it was, uh,
like looking through—
so it was kind of— it was blurry.
Oh. Did you...
Hey, guys.
I got something.
What?
Peter?
There are heightened levels of neutron radiation
at the train crossing.
Why didn't you tell us that when we were at the scene?
Because I didn't know until I was just back there
a second ago. What?
It's not important. What is important
is that a piece of the bumper just crumbled
into my hands.
Metal degradation— it's a classic sign
of neutron radiation.
We got 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 what, 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.
But 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?
Yep. I remembered.
And you took your cholesterol pill this morning?
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?
- Here you go. - Oh.
Thank you, honey.
- Success? - No.
Not yet but close.
I'm sure you'll get it, honey. Any day now.
Mm-hmm.
Kate.
Would you like some tea?
Who are you?
I'm Raymond, sweetheart.
I'm Raymond.
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 regardless 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 can find some kind of pattern,
maybe we could locate the source.
But two points isn't really very much to go on.
How about four?
I just got two new reports.
Perfect circle of trees suddenly appeared in a parking garage
in Chestnut Hill.
Shortly after, an open pit filled with
rotting garbage suddenly appeared on the eighth hole
of the Franklin Park Golf Course.
The 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.
Ram's 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 the spiral.
You'll want to search a three square mile area
in the vicinity of Brookline.
We need to go Christmas shopping.
I know, sweetheart. There's plenty of time.
It's not even Thanksgiving yet.
I'll miss it and then it'll be too late.
I have to go.
- All the stores'll be closed— - Hey, hey, 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.
But I will see you soon.
Raymond, did you remember to change the date
for your dentist appointment?
- Yeah, I remembered. - Oh, good.
And you took your—
My cholesterol pills in the morning.
Yeah, you don't need to remind me
of every little thing. - Oh, really?
But I do enjoy it.
This is your house here, right, ma'am?
The gray one?
If you do notice anything out of the ordinary,
please contact the FBI.
Thank you for your time.
I'll check that house
across the way, then.
Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
If the source is around here, then it must be well hidden.
Maybe it's underground.
Or hiding in plain sight.
Something on your mind?
Yeah. Yeah.
Those dreams that you were having—
the ones that I'm in— - Mm-hmm.
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?
Maintenance guy and the gardener.
Yeah, all right.
I'll just go ahead and talk to my neighbors.
It's the red one, the one on differential equations.
Yeah.
Got it!
Raymond!
- Raymond! - Kate!
I need to show you something.
What is it? What's wrong?
- I need to show you something. - What are you talking about?
Just please! Come with me.
Raymond, 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. Yes.
I built it for you. 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, 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.
It's the next one over.
Aah! Aah!
Okay, 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.
Probably shrouds the entire property.
This is a time bubble, and if we are 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.
You're shattering the laws of physics.
- Well, 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 electromagnetic field
so that I can cross through and turn off
whatever's causing this.
Walter, you need to build a moveable—
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 happen to mention when or where we can expect
another residual event like the train or the apartment fire?
I didn't ask.
What about Walter's spiral?
It led us here to the origin.
Could we use it to track where the next event will occur?
Yeah, that's a good idea.
- I need a map. - Come with me.
Raymond, you need to stop this. Turn it off!
No! You don't understand. You don't know what can happen.
Look, we don't have much time. You need to finish the equation.
Tell me why this is happening.
I don't understand why this is happening!
Trust me, Kate.
Some things are supposed to remain theories.
- It wasn't meant to be built. - Listen to me.
You don't understand what you've done!
You don't understand!
- Tell me why you did this! - 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 Green.
Raymond is 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's gonna take place right 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 PD and start evacuating.
Here.
Walter calls this the Walter Bishop Faraday harness.
He wanted me to tell you that.
Okay, so how do I put it on?
I'm the one who goes in.
And what are you gonna do when you get inside?
I'm gonna shut it off.
How?
Walter will talk me through.
We don't even know if the comms are gonna work in there.
We need someone with a science background.
He's right.
No, no, you—
the primary transistor goes on the back of the neck
with the prongs either side of the wearer's spine.
This goes into your neck.
Course it does.
I'm sure this will get him across
but I'm not guaranteeing what will happen on the 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 unfortunate fellow
who turned into confetti.
Walter, he's in.
The 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.
Yah!
Raymond, what have you done?
Peter?
Peter, can you hear me?
Agent Lee.
We've still got over 50 cars stuck down here.
We're clearing out the civilians.
You have to see this.
No, 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 ten, and ten into twenty,
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 already dead because of this machine,
and right now, there's a tunnel out there
that's gonna cease to exist
causing who knows how 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've agreed to turn it off, but they've got some 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 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 there in the world where you're supposed to be.
Then if not this, how? How do I repay you?
I mean, what—
what better thing can 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— to another place.
Yes. Far away, yes.
And I'm sure you'll find a way so that people won't get hurt.
Let 'em have their investigation.
Let 'em take away all the equipment,
ask their questions.
I'll build it again.
Everybody, run!
Everybody, run now! Get outta here!
All right, they're drawing up the paperwork,
but I have assurances, you will not be prosecuted.
Hey, I hate to break this up,
but I held up my end of the deal
and we're running out of time.
I love you, Raymond.
Yeah.
Run!
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.
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. Yeah.
Fire Marshal says
they've never seen anything like it.
Good work today.
Turns out it wasn't you causing these events after all.
Actually, I think it was.
I think the only reason Kate's theory worked
is because of my presence here.
Why do you think that?
Because I overheard Raymond telling Kate
that he only 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.
And 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.
In your debriefing,
you said you were living in faculty housing with Dr. Bishop.
I checked.
Dr. Bishop does own a home on campus.
It's deja vu.
Just so you know,
there'll be an FBI Agent stationed out the front door.
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.
'Cause 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.
