Neither am I. At the gas station, just before you got taken, you were ready to come home with me and I was ready to think that as okay, but it wasn't. It was a mistake. One that I promised myself that I'd never let happen again.
I saw her! I saw my Olivia. The one that I'm supposed to be with. The only one that I'm supposed to be with.
Olivia
Peter, I don't understand what's happening to me anymore than you do, but that doesn't change what I do know, what you know, that if you look at me, if you look into my eyes, then you can see that I am her.
No. No. You have her memories. You have my memories of her or your projection, but when I looked into your eyes, what I saw was what I wanted to see. I know she's out there. My Olivia in my timeline, waiting for me, and I let myself forget that. So I'm sorry, Olivia, but I'm sure Walter can fix you up somehow and give you back your life, but right now it's better if I stay away.
Olivia
Okay, Peter, I'm in love with you and I can't just turn that off now. I don't want to lose you. Where are you going?
I'm in love with Peter. I know it sounds absurd, and to you I hardly know him, but it's like I've known him my entire life and everybody, including him, keeps telling me that it's impossible.
Well, when Walter told me what you were going through: two sets of memories, two sets of experiences. He said the Cortexiphan dosing might be enabling you to remember things that Peter wants you to remember.
Olivia
But I can remember things Peter couldn't have known, like details or cases he wasn't on or names, places that he's never been. I mean, how can that be if he's controlling it? I don't know how this is happening, but I'm scared.
We always have breakfast together on Saturday mornings. We were here last week. Are you saying you don't remember? I'm worried. You're having these experiences at what cost?
Well, it doesn't matter. I met a woman today. She just lost her husband and as she was talking about him and her marriage, as much as she wanted to be, she wasn't in love. As I was listening to her, I realized what she was saying: she had let go of he possibility of love, of finding love, and I could see myself in her. I didn't like who I was. All of these memories and feelings that I'm experiencing, they're from a better version of me. I just decided to let things run their course.
Well my mother used to say "encourage the quest for happiness in your children, even if it takes them very far away from you."
Olivia
When the day comes, if I don't remember this, I want you to try and build something with me again. Don't give up on me. [Nina nods tearfully] I love you, Nina.
Do you think this may have something to do with the vigilante cases PD has been working?
LCaptain Lee
My thoughts exactly. Local police received a dozen similar reports in the last few months: criminals going missing, junkies mysteriously vanishing, victims calling in claiming that their assailants were attacked mid-crime.
LAgent Lee
Maybe Batman's moved to the Bronx.
Dunham
What's a Batman?
LAgent Lee
The "Caped Crusader", the "Dark Knight." [sees two confused expressions] Billionaire playboy puts on a cape to clean up the streets of Gotham.
LCaptain Lee
Oh, you mean Mantis.
LAgent Lee
Seriously? Your superhero is an insect?
Dunham
Oh, because nothing says badass like a flying rat.
[speaking of Colonel Broyles] Don't judge him. No one can be certain exactly what they're capable of, how far they'll go, to save the ones they love. I know this more than most. Keep an eye on this universe, will you? I've grown quite fond of it. [leaves]
Dunham
See, I'm surprised that you're not going back with him.
I told you I'd help find the people who killed your partner and mine. Until we do that, I'm not going anywhere. Look, it might not feel like it now, but it does get better.
Look, I appreciate what you guys have been doing to prevent closing the bridge, even if it's a long shot. The truth is, I like coming over here. Especially after it rains. [gets a confused look from Olivia] When my world started to break down the conditions in the atmosphere changed. Light doesn't reflect through moisture like it used to. I haven't seen a rainbow in over twenty years.
Olivia
I didn't know that.
Dunham
As our world began to repair itself I began to imagine the people from my side would begin to see them again. You know, something so beautiful, so perfect. I still find myself looking up after it rains.
I can make an educated guess. Cortexiphan has given you certain kinetic powers: moving molecules so quickly that you can create spontaneous combustion, yes? Well, perhaps in this case you slowed the molecules down, causing her to cool down.
I was thinking about that girl Jessica. One encounter with us and her child almost becomes an orphan. We deal with this every day. We're playing odds, Peter. What do you really think our chances are of having a normal life?
Olivia, I know you're scared about what happened in the lab yesterday.
Olivia
I don't know what's happening to me, what I'm becoming. I've got this power inside me that terrifies me because I don't understand it, and I just want it out.
Imagine putting a match to a can of lighter fluid. Unless we stop this soon, the sunbeam will essentially set Boston on fire from below. Peter, you should alert Agent Broyles. Tell him he will need to evacuate an area with a radius much wider than a mile.
At least now we know how you got shot. I've seen you shot before just like this. You came to me at the opera house. You said in every version of the future I would have to die.
I did not. Or I have not yet. I suspect I understand now. The conversation you are referring to has not yet happened for me. I must investigate the future and find out what I meant. I hope I get back to you in time.
