Fringe s03e01 Episode Script

Olivia

Previously on Fringe: You are looking through a window into another world.
An alternate universe, just like ours.
And in each of them, there is a version of us.
I can't let Peter die again.
- I can save him.
- Walter, Peter is dead.
I'm talking about the other Peter, on the Other Side.
I crossed into another universe and took a son that wasn't mine.
God help me.
Peter? Olivia Dunham.
I'm with the FBI.
Your father's Walter Bishop.
He worked out of Harvard in an area called Fringe science.
You're telling me my father was Dr.
Frankenstein? Ask yourself why they picked you.
We gave you the ability to identify things from the other universe.
Was it me who described it as a glimmer? I'm not from here, am I? - Son - I am not your son.
- I can take you back where you belong.
- Peter is in danger.
Help us cross over.
Walter is the secretary of defense.
The Fringe team answers to him.
- Your team? - Francis and Dunham.
These invaders from another universe can't be trusted.
You gotta trust me.
I'm you.
You have to come back because you belong with me.
They're heading back to the Opera House.
Make the switch.
Welcome back.
Please let me out of here.
Please let me out of here! Agent Dunham I'm trying to help you get your life back so that you can go home.
Back to your life, your job your family.
This is not my home.
Because you come from another universe? Yes.
Olivia, what is happening to you, given the nature of your job the upsetting events you come in contact with on a regular basis coupled with the injury to your head it's not surprising your mind has created this fantasy.
A means of processing the trauma.
This is not a fantasy.
You agree you are an agent with Fringe Division? I work for the FBI in Fringe Division dealing with weird and mysterious events that threaten the safety of the United States and its residents.
Good.
Is this your mother? She looks like her, but it isn't her.
And these Agent Lincoln Lee, Charlie Francis are these your partners? No.
And who is this? Another Olivia Dunham.
The Olivia Dunham from Over Here.
And how does that sound to you, Olivia what you're saying? That there is another world beyond this world populated with people who look exactly like the people here? It sounds preposterous which is what I thought when I first learned about it.
But as insane as it sounds, it's the truth.
Who's Peter? After you were injured outside the Opera House when you were under anesthesia, you mumbled the name "Peter.
" Is he one of your friends? The ones who came here with you from the other universe? Peter is my colleague.
A civilian consultant.
My team and I crossed over here to find him and bring him home.
And where are they now Peter and your friends? I don't know.
But I assume they had to go home without me.
Olivia I know it's really scary not being in control of one's own mind Dr.
Anderson, I am not crazy.
That is not my mother.
My mother died when I was 14.
The Charlie Francis that I knew was murdered.
I have never won an Olympic medal for marksmanship.
None of these are me.
This is not my life.
You think I'm trying to convince you you're someone you're not? Why would I do that? I don't know.
You wanted to see me, sir? Treatments are not working.
Well, that's not such a surprise.
We always knew that transferring memories was a long shot at best.
Let's try again, please.
Sir, if we give her another dose it could kill her.
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 who 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'll be nothing left to protect.
Let's try again.
Is it dinner already? Afraid not.
Please.
Please don't do this again.
I don't feel so good.
- I can't I can't breathe.
- Unstrap her.
Sit her up.
Code blue.
Code blue.
- Freeze! Hold it right there! - Come on, come on.
I see her! Over there! President Obama has chosen former president John F.
Kennedy to lead the government's new agency aimed at slowing ecological breakdown.
President Kennedy plans to step down from his role as U.
N.
ambassador Drive.
I need your Show Me.
You know I can't put this cab into drive without your ID What's your name? - Henry.
- Okay.
Listen, Henry.
What I need you to do right now is I need you to drive.
Okay.
No, sir, not yet.
Shore Patrol says there's no way she could have made it.
The currents are impossible this time of year.
What do you think? From what I know of Olivia Dunham, she's the one person I bet could survive.
Then find her.
Why are you wearing a hospital gown? Are you sick? I've been held against my will and I'm being pursued by a division of the government.
They've done experiments on me.
They're trying to convince me that I'm someone that I'm not.
Is that your family? Look, I'm just getting my life back together.
I don't know what you're doing, but the last thing I need is trouble.
You're not in any trouble, Henry as long as you do exactly as I say.
Okay, I want you to slow down.
Just stop here and park.
Give me your ID, your Show Me.
You're gonna go into that store, and you're gonna buy me some clothes.
I now know where you and your family live.
If you alert anyone, Henry, I assure you, trouble will find you.
I understand.
Good.
Knock, knock.
Who's there? Uh, no one.
Because you're so ugly no one would come to your door.
Ha, ha.
Hey, Melissa, you know how Francis can tell which end the worms living inside his body are which? Tickles them in the middle and sees which end farts.
Boom.
- I'll get you some water, Lincoln.
- Yeah.
So what have you heard? How much longer are they gonna keep her there? You know Olivia.
She's strong.
Physically, she's doing a lot better.
But they're saying she had a complete psychotic break.
I've heard of people losing time, you know? Not being able to remember the day leading up to a bad car accident.
But this is crazy.
- And the other Olivia? - She escaped to the Other Side along with the secretary's son and the other Walter Bishop.
You know, three days ago, I was eating a bowl of chocolate ice cream.
I was watching Tom Cruise kick some ass on TV.
I thought, "Life's pretty good.
" - And now all of this.
COL.
BROYLES: I'm afraid it's gotten worse.
- Sir.
- How are you coming along? I'm doing okay.
What is it? Last night, Agent Dunham escaped from the facility on Liberty Island.
Nice ink.
What does it mean? What? Tattoo on the back of your neck.
It looks like a sun of some kind.
Oh, they must have done it to me.
She must have one.
The other one must have a tattoo.
The girl they're trying to make you believe you are? Yeah, that sounds right.
I agree.
Hey, don't do that.
Don't placate me because you think that I'm - Crazy? What would you think if I jacked your cab in a hospital gown with a gun telling you folks are trying to make me believe I'm a tattooed version of myself? - I know I sound insane.
- Little bit.
Well, I'm not insane.
I'm not who they say I am.
Okay.
So where we going? You're taking me home.
I don't have to tell you a delusional Fringe agent with sensitive classified information is of great concern.
Do you have any idea where she's gone? Not yet.
Considering her mental state, she could be anywhere.
Where are you going? - To get my clothes.
- Not you.
- Olivia's in trouble.
I'm not sitting here.
- I thought you had to go to the hyperbaric chamber.
- I can be out for eight hours at a time.
I got six hours left today.
Melissa.
Get my Nanite wraps.
Amber is death! I need everyone behind the barricade.
Amber is death! Amber is death! Amber is death! If I'm not back in 15 minutes, you can leave.
The Opera House? That's where your home is? No, but that's how I got here and that's how I'm gonna get back there.
What's to stop me from leaving now? Heh.
Henry Arliss Higgins.
ID number 100225056768.
Blood type, B-negative.
Your inoculations are up to date except for your typhus which is 17 days overdue.
You might wanna get that taken care of.
Security, check his Show Me.
Security, check his Show Me.
Hey.
Hey.
Agent Dunham.
Sorry, I didn't recognize you.
I wasn't aware Fringe Division was overseeing this.
Oh, that's okay, I should have ID'd myself.
So is it, uh, true what they say about this place? People have disappeared into thin air inside? I know, I know.
Classified.
Things keep getting weirder all the time.
- lf you'll excuse me, I'm - We should step back.
I'll only be a minute There's no time.
Protocols are already in effect.
- Yeah, I understand - Look, agent.
Agent, you can't.
No.
- Anything yet? - Agent Farnsworth is running scenarios.
There's a 6 percent chance Agent Dunham will return to surrender.
An 11 percent chance she'll return to attack.
A 21 percent chance she will attempt to contact someone she knows.
A 29 percent chance she will return to where her trauma occurred.
And a 33 percent chance that she will leave the country.
- Did someone contact the borders? - Yeah.
- She's good at disguises.
- I've told them that too.
Agent Dunham just left the Orpheum Theater in a city taxi.
Get a line on the tracker in that cab.
Yes, sir.
So, what now? I don't know yet.
Can you just keep driving? It's my wife.
Okay.
Don't do anything foolish, Henry.
Hey.
Yeah, yeah.
I know.
I never put it in there.
It was in Laura's old room.
Laura's Yeah.
Nothing.
I got a fare.
Okay.
Around 7.
I love you, hon.
For sure.
What's her name? Jasmine.
Unless I'm in the doghouse, then she's "honey.
" So most of the time it's "honey.
" What about you? You got someone? Sort of.
That's a odd name, "Sort of.
" His name is Peter.
He's sort of the reason I'm here.
Can you take me to 65518th Street? - Just off 10th Avenue.
- What's there? - A company called Massive Dynamic.
- Never heard of it.
They make technology that could get me home.
There's a lady who works there who may be able to help me.
Well, if we're going down to Chelsea, we're gonna need some gas.
- Remember.
- Yeah, I know.
I know.
You got my number.
Jedi mind trick.
Hey, Liv.
Thank God we found you.
Okay.
I know I'm not quite my handsome self but a hello would be nice.
I know about the shootout at the Orpheum.
Colonel Broyles told me all about it.
- I know you took a blow to your head.
- Don't you come any closer.
Liv, I'm going through it myself.
Believe me, I know that the treatment can feel worse than the disease.
But they're just trying to fix you.
We all just wanna help you get bet - Liv.
- Take your gun out and put it on the ground.
Olivia, come on.
- I've been your partner for two years.
- Put your gun on the ground.
This isn't necessary.
Kick it over here.
- What do you think I'm gonna do? - I don't know.
I don't know you.
Whatever they told you, I am not who you think I am.
Liv, think about what you're doing.
You can't just keep running.
Get in the car.
Get in the car.
- What are you doing? - Just drive.
Liv! Go, go, go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey! You're a hell of a shot.
No, actually, I'm not.
Well, you could've fooled me.
Hey, what are you doing? They won't be able to find us now.
Thank you.
Yeah.
She must've removed the cab's tracker.
We've tapped into the surveillance cams, but haven't picked anything up.
- Did you see the incident footage? - Yes, sir.
You know what I'm thinking? There's one person at Fringe Division who could make a shot like that.
It's working.
- Why did you pull over? - This is it.
Eighteenth Street, 10th Avenue.
That's where you said.
Oh, no.
- What? - Well, it's not here.
They must never have built it.
Okay, maybe you got the cross streets wrong.
Let me look it up.
Stay with your brother! There you go.
I'm stuck here.
Are you okay? Shadowgrove Circle.
It's in Tarrytown.
It's a It's a safe house.
Walter must've told me about it.
I don't know why I forgot.
- Tarrytown's 40 minutes from here.
- Okay.
You better get going.
Hey, Frank.
Charlie.
What's up? Do you have news about Olivia? You mind if I come in? Come on.
He obviously means a lot to you.
Excuse me? The guy you mentioned.
Why you say you came here.
Frank? Yeah.
Thought you said his name was Peter.
Yeah.
Peter.
Right.
You don't look so good.
How long till we get there? Not long.
I haven't slept since this whole thing happened.
I don't even know what's wrong with her.
Nobody will even give me a straight answer.
We're gonna get her better.
I promise you.
We just We just gotta find her.
Can you think of something that, uh, we might've missed? You know? Um, someone else she could've gone to for help? Someplace she could be hiding out? A friend? Anything? - Marilyn is back in town.
- I thought she was in France.
She came home when she heard what happened.
You know, the last time I ran a fare out this far the meter read about 300 bucks.
Guess I'll just put it on your tab.
I can wait for you, if you like.
No.
You go home to your family.
You gonna be okay? I'm not crazy, you know.
But to prove that to you, I'd have to tell you some things that were even crazier.
You know, a few years ago, I was in a bad way.
Couldn't pull myself out.
Inside, I knew I was somebody else.
There was only one person who believed that.
Jasmine.
She saw the man I knew I was.
She was the only one.
I mean, sometimes you just gotta believe in what you can't see.
Thank you.
Olive? Mom? Sweetheart.
Aw.
I know what happened.
They told me about your breakdown.
I came home as soon as I heard.
I tried to see you.
They wouldn't let me.
Sweetheart, I've been so scared.
I'm not your daughter.
My mother died when I was 14 years old.
This is all wrong.
- You're not supposed to be here.
- Sweetheart.
- I'm not your daughter.
- Yes, you are.
You're just confused.
- This was my way home.
- This is your home.
My home was in Jacksonville, Florida.
I was brought up on an Army base.
I've never been here before! If you've never been here, how did you know to come here? - I helped you paint, didn't I? - Yes.
You picked the colors.
I wanted blue, but you convinced me to use Yellow.
Because it was more cheerful.
Sweetheart, this is your home.
This is your safe house.
Sorry to bother you, Mrs.
Dunham.
Just, um, wondering if you heard from Olivia.
- She's here.
- She is? Come on in.
Hey.
Olivia Dunham has been recovered.
It appears that your treatments have taken effect after all.
Your plan was sound.
They just needed a bit more time than you assumed.
No, wasn't time.
It was the adrenaline from her escape.
The adrenaline triggered our Olivia's memory B lymphocytes.
It carried them across the blood-brain barrier and successfully transferred the memories which means, for all intents and purposes she is our Olivia now.
- Thanks, Charlie.
- For what? For being my friend.
- Hey, Liv? - Yeah? Thank you for not shooting me.
Oh.
Give her the weekend.
After that, she should be fine to go to work.
Then I assume this is the time to ask you why.
Why convince her she's our Olivia Dunham? Why is it necessary? You don't need to worry about that just yet.
You'll know soon enough.
Due respect, Mr.
Secretary you're embedding one of them on my team and you've embedded my agent with them.
I need to know now.
Good work today, Phillip.
And that's what you call him? "Walternate"? Your real father.
Yeah.
Okay.
Go on.
Well, Walternate took me over there because he said he needed me to help him fix the damage on the Other Side.
But you believed he was lying to you? Yeah.
He never had any intention to fix the Other Side.
He wanted me to help him destroy ours.
Hmm.
- Hmm, what? - Pen's dying.
- Here, give it to me.
I know a trick.
- A trick? To save a dying pen? Do you want me to fix it or not? That's okay.
We're almost finished here.
I just have one more question.
Um, you said, when you learned Walternate was lying to you, your first thought was anger, that you wanted to put a stop to his agenda.
But you could've done that by staying there.
So the one thing I don't understand is, why'd you come back? You know, I haven't seen those in a while.
- Your shoes.
- Wallabees.
Are you bringing them back? Where did they go? Oh, good.
He's done.
- How was it? - Endless.
But it's over now.
So we can get on with our lives.
Great.
How about we start with dinner? I'm starving.
The whole time I was in there, there was only one thing I could think about.
Yeah? What? - That.
- Heh.
Let's go.
I'm sure tomorrow will bring the usual insanity.
May as well enjoy a night off.
