S1 E15Unfinished Business

Where are you going?

Me? I'm going out for drinks.

Who are you drinking with?

Olivia.

Agent Dunham?! A date?

No, just drinks. Apparently that's what normal people do. They go out for drinks. If you need to reach me, I'll leave the number of the restaurant right here, okay?

[knocking] She's here, Peter.

I know. I heard it, too.

Shall I get the door?

Absolutely not. In fact, it would be my preference if you could be someplace else altogether.

Oh, where?

Chicago? [opens door] Hey, come on in. I know a great place that's just a couple blocks away. I thought we could walk.

[notices Olivia looking at Peter as he shimmers] Agent Dunham.

I'll go get my coat.

Olivia, please don't tell him.

I realized at that moment that despite what I'd promised, what I fully intended to do, that I could never take Peter back. The way she looked at him. I saw in her what I feared most in myself when I saw him: I couldn't lose him again. It was the first hole, Olivia. The first breach. The first crack in the pattern of cracks. Spaces between the worlds. And it's my fault. You can't imagine what it's like to lose a child.

Peter! [laughs] They told me you’d be alright, but I was so worried, son.

There was another man on that bridge. When Newton’s device started to work, I saw him there. Just, walking down the bridge. He had to have been from the other side. You said that the effects of Newton’s vibrations would be devastating. And… They were, they destroyed that FBI agent, they just… they disintegrated him, like he wasn’t even there. But they didn’t kill the man from the other side. And they didn’t kill me. I’m not from here, am I? You didn’t just open up a hole to the other side… You went through. And you brought me back. That’s why I was able to survive Newton’s device. That’s why I can’t remember my childhood.

You were dying, Peter —

That’s why my mother committed suicide. Isn’t it? She knew, didn’t she? And when I left, the guilt was too much for her to live with. The lie.

Peter, you need to understand, son —

I understand, Walter. I understand everything now.

Son —

I am not your son! I’d like to be alone now.

[to Olivia] I've spent my life making things that bring joy and happiness to make the world a better place. Bubble gum, that was one of my first. Flannel pajamas. Ah, rainbows! And my latest project -- singing corpses!

(Three cadavers on nearby tables sit up and begin to sing while Walter directs.)

CCorpses

Who can take a sunrise? Sprinkle it with dew....Cover it with choclate and a miracle or two...The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can. The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good!

[Corpses lie back down.]

Why not bring a little life to the dead I say!

The Hadron Super Collider is less complicated than that infernal dishwater.

Next time, don't use laundry detergent, and the dishwasher will work fine.

SMSheriff Mathis

You're FBI, huh? What exactly is a civilian consultant?

Sometimes people with certain areas of expertise can offer them to the Bureau on a consulting basis. My area of expertise is...weird.

DFDeputy Ferguson

You mean difficult to explain?

No, I mean the strange, the inexplicable.

ACAlt. Charlie

I was thinkin' 'hey, maybe a slow day', it being Saturday and all. No rest for the wicked.

Oh, you're not wicked, Charlie. You just pretend really really well.

Uh, excuse me, excuse me. Don't I know you from… somewhere? Oh, I have it, you're agents. Fringe Division. You work for the secretary.

ACAlt. Charlie

Sorry, sir, we're in a bit of a rush.

I'd imagine you would be. Chaotic times, aren't they? Chaotic times. I… I'm sorry, the secretary and I are old friends. I'm William Bell. I see you're carrying the '76 power side-arms. I designed those, you know…

Um, I'm sorry, Mr. Bell, but we have to…

The '76 models don't have the phase repeater. That's a design flaw.

They also don't have the pulse function, which I am putting in the '77.

Excuse me, sir.

[Alt. Olivia and Alt. Charlie push past William Bell]

I don't think that he can. I mean, not without you. Peter… you don't belong here.

No, I don't belong here. But I don't belong there, either.

Yes, you do. I have thought of one hundred reasons… why you should come back. To — to fight the shape-shifters, to take care of Walter, to — to save the world. But in the end… you have to come back. Because you belong with me.

[Olivia approaches Peter and they kiss]

[speaking to Brandon] You and I know something that many lives and many more dollars have been spent to keep secret: that we are at war. At war with another universe populated by creatures that have damaged the very fabric of reality. All around us our world is under attack. Somehow this girl came here. Somehow she is equipped to move through universes. We need her to help us understand this skill, because if we can do it, we can win this war. And if not, soon there will be nothing left to protect.

ABAlt-Broyles

No, sir, not yet. Shore patrol said there's no way she could have made it across. The currents are impossible this time of year.

What do you think?

ABAlt-Broyles

I think from what I know about Olivia Dunham, she's the one person I would bet on who could survive.

Then find her.
