- They are coming. - Who's coming?
Our world is being taken 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.
They weren't all bad. One of them tried to help us.
He was called September.
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.
The battle to save mankind is about to begin.
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!
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.
The word "naugahyde" not found.
Naugahyde was a very popular premium pleather.
American patents...
Peter, you let me oversleep.
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.
She had a piece of the puzzle...
A crucial piece.
This is just one part.
What I sent her to get will unlock the whole.
Unlock the 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
as 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 ambered us.
Good God. What's that?
It's an egg stick.
What a miserable future.
Aspen, help me find my shoes.
There's no time to waste.
We have to 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?
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.
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.
Walter.
He didn't mean it.
Sure he did.
Oh, no.
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?

5x01 Transilience Thought Unifier Model 11
Oh, my.
The black market thrives here.
Hello, there.
I fell in love in Japan once.
I almost married her.
Come on, Walter.
Okay, go down three halls—
the first area on your right.
You're not coming?
Fringe Division shakes these guys down all the time.
Someone will recognize me.
Walnuts?
Deal closer.
That's almost $3,000.
If they tell you any different, they're trying to rip you off.
Excuse 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— carousels?
They used to anyway.
To me, you will forever be
a little girl.
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.
Yeah. Information's expensive.
She would have had an electronic device in her hand.
Huh.
Late 20s, black leather jacket?
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.
Go away.
Markham?
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 supposed to happen this way.
She's supposed to wake up and see me as her savior,
when I figure 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 this.
You have something to report?
I got some information to sell.
- Is it level four? - Yeah, it's good.
Some people I saw on reward wire.
I want three times the vouchers for my loyalty.
Proceed.
What's taking Walter so long?
I want to get her out of here.
I'll go check.
Isaac Asimov.
May I?
Who cares?
I tried my hand at science-fiction writing once.
Once.
Resistance is futile.
I feel like I've heard that before.
Walter, run.
Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me.
Etta.
- Are you okay? - I'm okay.
- Where's Walter?
He should be here.
Go. Go, go.
What are we gonna do about Walter?
Don't move!
Okay, you ready?
Three, two,
one.
Olivia.
Olivia, breathe.
Breathe. You're okay.
Breathe, Olivia.
Breathe. Breathe.
There you go.
Oh, Peter.
Where am I?
You're in the year 2036.
- I ambered myself. - I know you did.
We all did.
I found her.
More to the point, she found us.
Olivia, I want you to meet Etta.
Kiddo, come meet your mom.
Hi, mama.
You're beautiful.
So are you.
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
that I didn't think about you.
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 were 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 working on that.
We have been looking for you...
and your friends.
I am very interested in you.
I don't know why you're alive.
Ah, you're trying to think of music.
You miss music.
There'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 from scorched 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.
Wait here.
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.
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 were incapable of—
of being what we needed to be for each other.
And that was all it was.
You were stronger than me.
You could do something that I couldn't do.
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.
Come with me.
This is Anil.
It's an honor to meet you.
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.
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.
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?
Why did they free you?
What do they expect to get from you?
You're partitioned.
Someone gave you information
out of sequence.
They did this on purpose...
to protect something.
Aaah!
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.
What plan? To defeat us?
What are the elements of this plan?
Let me organize them for you, please.
You are fighting much more than I would have thought possible.
Walter Bishop,
if only I had a unifier, I could unify these thoughts.
I could go through the trouble to get one,
but it would take weeks to break the biology key
specific to your encryption.
But...
that doesn't mean I will not get the information out.
It will make it harder to get to it,
but it will come out.
Who's the little girl?
Who's the little blonde girl?
She's helping you—
the little blonde girl.
How can this small child be helping you?
What is her name?
She's amazing, Peter.
There's just so many things that I want to tell her
and so many things that I want to ask her.
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.
It had to be that one.
Anyone ever gotten in there?
No, but...
What?
We've been working on this tech.
Anil, it's not perfected yet.
But it could work.
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.
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 whatever his 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 working 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 the stones?
What is your plan to defeat us?
Let down the walls.
I am your ally.
Nice watch.
And I want his boots too.
Hey.
What happened to him?
Occupational hazard.
That's my girl.
What, they need this to breathe?
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's always the red wire.
Unless it's the white wire.
That did it. Let's go.
Clearly, we are done here.
I must say,
your brain will make an excellent specimen.
Air control malfunction.
Walter. Walter.
- Air control malfunction. - Walter.
Is he okay?
- I don't know. - Air control malfunction.
Air control malfunction.
Over here.
Peter.
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 wanted you to find.
It's called a thought unifier.
Or at least it was. This one's long since dead.
He must have designed it specifically for you.
What's it used for?
Well, it's meant to collect and 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.
You're 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 wrong with me?
- What has happened to— - Walter.
I can't do it.
I can't even recognize myself.
It's like there'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 gone.
