Fringe · Season 1
[lying in bed, hugging Olivia close] What time is it?
It's 6:30 in the morning.
Oh God.
And, uh, your father is walking around the house naked.
[chuckles] Oh, yeah. It's Tuesday. He always cooks naked on Tuesdays.
Is that safe?
Nuh-uh, and it's not pretty either, but you get used to it.
[whispers] I could get used to this. This is my favorite time of day: sunrise. The world is full of promise.
You sure you don't want me to call Olivia?
If it doesn't work, she's going to find out soon enough. Just tell her that...
Whatever it is, you tell her yourself.
Walter, what if I can't do it? What if I can't turn it off?
I have known you for a long time, Olivia, and I believe that the drawing was no accident. Whoever did it knew the same as I do: that you don't fail.
Ready?
No. You?
No. [holds out his hand for Olivia to take and smiles] Don't say I never took you anywhere.
Peter, I love you.
Generations of knowledge have been bestowed upon me, but no one said anything about the other side turning the machine on first.
Okay, Sam, I'm going to make this easy. I am armed, and I want you to take me to the key NOW.
I want Walter. I want you to grant him a temporary furlough so he can help us on the case.
I didn't realize how much I missed swivel chairs. I also missed swiveling.
Our destiny was set the day we triggered the machine. I didn't understand until it was too late that our... two worlds were inextricably linked. Without one, the other simply cannot exist. When their world was destroyed, that was the day we sealed our fate. For all intents and purposes... that was the day we died.
This time you have to make different choice. And if something goes wrong, Olivia would be available to...
Walter; Stop [hold back his tears] Olivia is dead.
But she won't be. Not there.
The machine? I turned that on 15 years ago.
And all the time I sat in prison, I couldn't figure out where it came from. I knew the pieces were buried millions of years ago, but how did they get there? So deep in the past. But now I understand. I sent them there. The hole in central park. I sent them back through time. Peter, you can stop the destruction before it occurs.
If that's the case, just don't send the machine back. They will never discover it and I'll never destroy the other universe.
No no no. Dosen't work that way. I have already done it. And I have no choice but to do it again.
Walter that doesn't make any sense.
It does. It is a paradox. I can't change what happens because it's already happened. But you can make a different choice within what happened. I simply need to find a way to bring your consciousness forward to now, so that you can witness what will happen if you make the same choice. Peter, for all I know, it can be happening already. Don't you see, we can fix everything. We can cheat the rules of time.
Imagine the repercussions.
It can't be worst than this. It can't be worst than this.
You were right. They don't remember Peter.
How could they? He never existed. He served his purpose.
That's my partner.
I understand how you feel.
You're some division coming in here and taking over? You won't even tell me who you are?
I can assure you that this case will take top --
Have you seen the suspect before? Do you know who he is?!
I'm not at liberty to discuss it.
This is my partner we're talking about here! Maybe you can't understand that. I'd like to talk to someone else.
There is no one else. There is just me.
Mister, I think I found what you're looking for. Electron gun from a 58-R RCA. I had to take apart the cathode ray tube to get to it, so I'm going to have to charge you full price for the TV.
Yes. [holds up red switch] I will take this as well.
Mind my asking what you need all this stuff for?
I need to erase someone from time.
[referring to Walter] Is he all right?
That depends on your definition of all right. He's functional, except when he's not. But he's often quite brilliant. Just never had anything to tether him to the world.
You're not returning these people to their families?
We can't do that.
Why not?
Because we can't disclose how they were killed. The families are informed that they have gone missing and we will continue to look for them --
You lie to them.
Look, I'm sorry, but --
You understand what you're saying? Those families are going to spend the rest of their lives wondering what happened to their loved ones. Looking for answers. Can you imagine what that would be like? To have that -- that hole in your life.
People die. It happens. Sometimes they even die twice.
