Am I responsible for this?
I'm afraid you are.
(Male announcer) Previously on Fringe...
Our universe is starting to break down.
What we've seen happening on the other side
is starting to happen here.
[Thunder rumbles]
I destroyed their world to save ours.
May God have mercy on us.
(Nina) The machine came on by itself.
Without Peter.
You think that Walternate
turned the machine on over there?
It's triggered
on a sympathetic response
from the one over here; Yes, it makes sense.
How could he do that without Peter?
(Peter) We all thought
that I could turn the machine on.
Maybe I can turn it off.
Dear God.
[Whirring]
(Woman over PA) All civilians proceed
to evacuation route immediately.
Agent Bishop, take cover!
[Groans]
Where the hell am I?
[Indistinct announcement over PA]
(Woman) Peter Bishop. 47 years old.
Shrapnel wound in the abdomen.
(Nurse) BP is 110 over 70.
(Er Doctor) Start an IV. Where am I?
Peter, you were injured in a fringe event.
You're in good hands. It's okay, I'm right here.
Lie back. Just relax.
He's bleeding pretty bad here.
Get me some units of his reserve blood.
Start transfusion now.
Agent Bishop, please just lie still. [Groaning]
Get me the U.V. cauterizer.
It's all right, Peter. You're going to be fine.
[Groans]
I'd like to find out how Peter Bishop is doing.
May I see your badge?
I don't have a badge... Yet.
I was just promoted last week.
I have a temporary barcode. Can I show you that?
Sure.
Thank you, Agent Dunham.
Agent Bishop has been in recovery for an hour now.
He should be out soon.
Ella.
Peter's fine, Aunt Liv.
He's in recovery.
I mean, uh, Agent Dunham, ma'am.
You can just call me boss like everybody else.
Now, how are you?
I'm fine.
I remember being in my SUV.
And the next thing I knew, I was on the ground
and there was vortex shrapnel everywhere.
People are saying that it's the end-of-dayers.
That's what we think, yeah.
We think it's Moreau.
Hey.
Peter.
How are you feeling?
Ah...Just like new.
- So what'd the doctor say? - Doctor says I'm fine.
No. They said to stay off his feet for a few days.
See? You're pushing yourself.
Moreau's out there.
Peter, you got to stay off your feet.
This is gonna be one of those times
when you say, "you were right."
I'm not gonna say that you were right
because I got state-of-the-art science on my side.
I feel fine, hon.
Do you remember what you were saying in the field
about the machine and being from the past?
Well, I didn't say I didn't get my bell rung,
but I'm doing better now.
Two eggs over-easy,
bacon, and grapefruit juice.
That's what I made you for breakfast on Sunday.
(Astrid) Hey, guys. Look.
(Olivia) There's a stage three tear.
We've initiated Amber Protocol.

[Indistinct chatter]
[Police radio chatter]
Hey.
The security firm just emailed this video.
We think they gained entrance from the side fire door.
Okay, so how come they didn't trigger the alarm?
It was disabled. But that's not all.
We think we found an electrilight.
It must have been a dud.
I believe so.
We finally get to see one.
"The End of Days." Ha.
That's one of my father's favorite sermons.
When the world dies and a savior arrives
to end the suffering and usher all the worthy
into heaven.
Pass me those alligator clips?
Of course, if my father ever met one of the kooks
who's actually attempting to end the world,
he'd probably kill them himself.
Agent.
Eyewitness statements.
I'll let you know if any of this is worthwhile.
- Anything? - No.
Not only can I not tell you how the thing works,
according to all the readings, it shouldn't be working at all.
You know, there's probably only one person on Earth
who can tell us how this thing functions.
Walter.
Got any markers you can call in?
You think now's the time?
I think it might be past time.
Hello, Walter.
Must be bad if they're letting you see me.
It is.
I heard a rumor that the Sun was burning out.
[Whispers] They don't tell me much in here.
The Sun is still shining.
I also hear
there's been a massive increase in Kappa radiation.
That one's true.
A wormhole opened in Central Park,
right in the center of Sheep's Meadow.
Took us months but...
We were finally able to amber it over.
A wormhole shouldn't emit that type of radiation.
Not unless it's a wormhole through time.
Exactly right.
The carbon levels were consistent
with the late Paleozoic era.
250 million years ago.
Paleozoic.
Theropods!
My old self would have been fascinated with that.
How's Olivia?
She's fine. Thank you.
I need your help.
What is it?
We're not exactly sure.
Some kind of light bomb.
It's made by a terrorist group.
They call themselves the end-of-dayers.
They use them on soft spots,
trying to rip holes in the fabric of the universe.
Trying to accelerate the end of days.
I'm hoping if we can figure out how it's made
and maybe trace the parts...
We can stop them before it's too late.
Even if I could help you...
I can't do it from here. I...would need my tools.
My special instruments.
We both know that's not going to happen.
Senator. Hello, Peter.
Thank you for your time.
No need for formality in here.
It's good to see you.
Have a seat.
You said it was urgent.
It is.
I assume you've been briefed
about the end of days organization?
I'm well aware of the situation, yes.
We recovered this device
from what's left of the opera house.
Science Division's been trying to crack the technology,
but without much luck.
What do you need?
I need Walter.
I want you to grant him a temporary furlough
so he can help us on the case.
That's out of the question. I'm sorry.
If we can understand this technology,
we might be able to prevent future attacks.
Consult with him in prison if you need to.
That's all I can offer.
Why? You worried about your reelection prospects?
You know me better than that.
I'm worried about that.
The entire globe is disintegrating.
We're running around putting on band-aids,
and every day more people are lost because of it,
and Walter is responsible.
I know him.
And I know his intentions weren't this.
But there's not a single person out there
who hasn't lost someone they love because of him.
You can't begrudge the anger they feel towards him.
I don't.
I'm out there in the streets with them every day.
And, yeah, maybe I am running around
putting band-aids on it until we can figure out
how to reverse the damage that's already been done.
But at least it's something.
And if we can figure out this technology,
I guarantee you we will prevent future casualties.
Phillip.
If what we lost in Detroit still means anything to you...
Just give me one chance.
That's all I'm asking.
Where are my things?
They're all still in evidence, Walter.
Don't worry. Olivia's on it.
Your equipment will be here shortly.
Mm.
Will Astrid be here?
[Chuckles]
No. Astrid's a Fringe Agent now.
- We need her out in the field. - Oh.
I suppose since she's no longer caring for me,
she's able to--
spread her wings.
[Quietly] May I take a look out back?
My old office.
(Man) Just leave him there for now.
I'm not sure where he wants him.
[Continues indistinctly]
Walter.
I didn't realize how much I've missed swivel chairs.
I've also missed swiveling.
There's someone here to see you.
A visitor?
Walter.
Olivia!
[Laughing]
Congratulations are in order, my dear.
What for?
The wedding, of course.
Oh.
That was a while ago now.
This is the first opportunity I've had
to give you an appropriate welcome to our family.
I always did want a daughter.
Thank you, Walter.
[Clattering] For goodness' sake!
Doesn't the word fragile mean anything to you?
Was that you?
I learned to control it a few years ago.
I'm impressed.
So...What's the next target?
The wormhole in Central Park.
Considering your world was destroyed by a wormhole,
I suppose it's fitting.
Is this it?
Followed your specifications to the letter.
More than twice the yield
of the device we used last night.
It won't be long...
Till this world joins mine.
[Door opens]
Boys.
[door closes]
Any luck?
(Walter) Afraid not.
Can't make any sense of this technology.
I'll continue to run diagnostics on the canister,
but even if I am successful, our world is still ending.
You may stop this group,
but you cannot stop the inevitable.
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 intent and purposes...
that was the day we died.
We don't know that for sure.
Have you seen him?
Walternate?
No.
Nobody has. He's become a recluse.
Imagine coming over here to try to save the world...
Only to be stuck here when your world was destroyed.
Not to mention having the same face
as the most reviled man in the universe.
I just wanted to say...
At the trial, you spoke on my behalf--
Walter, I'm the one who got in the machine.
I'm the one who destroyed the other universe.
The courts perceived that you did it...
to defend our universe.
And so do I.
This all began with me, my...hubris.
Walter--
and I just wanted to say thank you.
No matter who's at fault, you are my dad.
[Laughs]
That smells insanely good.
After the day we had,
I figured we deserved better than takeout.
[Chuckles]
Hey. How you holding up?
Ha. I'm doing fine. Why?
Well...you know Walter would always cook
when he was worried about you, so...
Well, of all the bad habits I could pick up from him,
that's the least of them.
Amanda from across the street gave it to us.
That's you and me
and the little baby that we're gonna have
that she is planning on babysitting.
Oh...
Well, I think we should get started on that right away.
You're really gonna use a drawing from a little girl
to get lucky?
It sounds so dirty when you say it like that.
She's a sweet little girl.
You know, hon, if you wanted to reconsider...
I can't say that I don't think about it.
And that I don't wish things were different.
Honey, people still have families.
Look at Amanda.
She was born into this world,
and she's still happy.
And the world could get better.
So I still think we're gonna have a kid.
I hope you're right.
In fact, I think we're gonna have several.
Two, maybe three. Little tribe of Bishops.
Hello? I understand now.
They're splitting atoms... not as an outcome goal
but as a means to an end.
Slow down, Walter.
The diagnostics on the canister--
they show residual traces of strontium 90.
That's a radioactive isotope.
That's how they're making the electrilights.
Which means it would leave a signature.
Yes! Like radioactive breadcrumbs.
They'll lead us to whoever's doing this.
We need Science Division
to monitor current radiation tracking maps.
It'll be faster if you exclude
readings inconsistent with strontium 90.
Look for spikes in the remaining data.
This is a campground.
Do you think it's even possible to split atoms here?
I can see 'em making s'mores, maybe,
but weapons of mass destruction? No.
Is this the right place?
The tracking system is detecting
the same radioactive signature that registered on the canister.
So then where's the lab?
Okay. You keep searching.
I'm gonna call this in.
If you find anything out of the ordinary,
I want to know. - Yes, ma'am.
Sir. We found this sitting on top of a rock.
I don't know if it means anything.
- Thank you, Agent. - Sure.
Peter.
Maybe Walter was wrong
about the radioactive signature. Yeah.
I'll go back to Science Division,
see if maybe something's wrong
with the radiation detection sensors.
Okay, well, let me know if you find anything.
Yeah. Will do.
How come no one respects my desk?
You're too nice.
(Man over PA) Team one, get ready to deploy.
Perimeter breach.
Sector eight. [Indistinct]
This technology's 10,
maybe 15 years ahead of its time.
I don't mind saying
it's something I would like to have invented.
I mean for peaceful purposes,
mining, maybe.
Walter. What about the components?
Where were these parts made?
I haven't the foggiest.
Dunham.
I'm on my way. What's wrong?
There's been a security breach at the wormhole.
Someone in the park I.D.'d Moreau.
Come on.
Hello?
Hello, Peter.
Why'd you leave me the key, Walter?
I knew you'd recognize it.
I couldn't just call you.
Yes, you could have.
[Softly] No, no, no, no.
Not if I wanted the proper reunion
that we both so richly deserve.
So letting me know that Moreau works for you--
that was your way of getting my attention?
Among other things.
I should have known that the electrilight came from you.
After all, Walter was the only one brilliant enough
to figure out how it worked.
Stands to reason that you were the only one
brilliant enough to invent it.
Yin and Yang. That's interesting.
Interesting that you should say that--
Yin and Yang.
Why are you doing this? Yin and Yang.
One man broke the universe. The other man did nothing....
But have his son stolen, his life stolen, ruined.
I came over here at the end
on a mission of mercy
to ask for help for my side.
The race was lost, a race I didn't initiate.
But still, I came.
And you destroyed us, Peter...
My son.
You destroyed your own--
you activated the machine on your side.
You were going to use it to destroy this universe.
I only acted in self-defense.
Do you know what it's like...
to wake up and just for a moment...
Think that everything is as it was?
And then to realize it's not...
That the nightmare you had was real.
Soon everyone here will experience loss
the way that all those over there did.
Air, water...
Light, even.
But you...
You will experience loss the way I did.
What does that mean?
You destroyed my universe, son,
and I'm going to destroy yours.
And not all at once.
Peter's still not picking up.
Agent Dunham.
We spotted a vehicle parked near the perimeter breach.
- What kind of vehicle? - A bus.
Okay. I want all tactical teams
to enter the restricted area--
[voices shouting]
I came here alone, Walter.
To make a personal plea to you.
I'm sorry for the suffering that I've caused you.
I'm sorry...
For destroying your people.
Our people.
I'm sorry for destroying our world.
And if I could take back that choice...
I would.
But it's no excuse for what you're doing now.
And it has to stop.
I don't want to have to use these.
But you're going to come with me now, father.
You know, Peter, if I was really there,
I might not be able to resist killing you.
I think this is the better way,
so you can learn about loss.
Let's start by killing someone you love.
We're gonna evacuate the area,
try and contain the wormhole.
So can you move everyone back to sector three?
Olivia Dunham...
My wife...
was everything to me.
Why have we stopped?
What is this, some kind of protest?
No. It's the wormhole.
They're still trying to seal it up.
Sergeant, when we start moving again,
can we cut over and take Columbus, then we can--
Wait. No.
Turn the car around.
Please...
I need to get back to my lab.
[Crying]
Diagnostics are almost complete.
You used to call me "Uncle Walter"
do you remember?
I don't remember much from before it got bad.
I'm so sorry...
Ella.
I understand...
Words can't come close to mitigating your loss.
Truly, if I could go back in time and change things,
I would.
I would give anything to be able to go back
and make different choices.
But you can't.
There aren't any happy endings nowadays, are there?
No. I suppose not.
I remember the cow that stayed over there.
She had kind eyes.
She did, didn't she?
My gene.
I do miss her.
[Beep, blip]
Oh...
That's it.
[Doorbell rings]
[Ringing]
Peter, I was wrong.
It's not too late.
You can save both worlds. We can do it all over again.
This time, you--you simply need to make a different choice,
and should something go wrong,
then Olivia will be our fail-safe.
Walter, stop.
Olivia is dead.
But she won't be...
Not then.
The machine?
I turned that on 15 years ago.
And all the time I sat in prison,
I-I-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 wormhole 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.
Then we'll never discover it,
and I'll never destroy the other universe.
No, no, no. It doesn't work that way.
I have already done it.
Therefore, I have no choice but to do it again.
Walter, that doesn't make any sense.
It does.
It's 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 could be happening already.
Don't you see? We can fix everything.
We can cheat the rules of time.
Imagine the repercussions.
There's no way of telling what the cost might be.
But it can't be worse than this.
It can't be worse than this.
What would I need to do?
Walter? What's happening to him?
His heart rate's going up--
156 and climbing!
What's it doing to him? I don't know.
It's been 60 seconds now.
How much longer are we gonna let him stay inside that thing?
Peter has interfaced with the machine
at a biological level.
If we take him out prematurely,
I'm afraid we'll harm him. [Grunting]
What is it?
Sir, it just started 60 seconds ago.
What started exactly?
The machine-- something is happening.
The diagnostics are through the roof.
Look at this-- the soft spots--
they're not closing. They're getting worse.
Bring me Olivia Dunham, now.
I don't understand what you're asking me to do.
The drawing suggests
that you have a connection with the machine...
That you can stop it,
that you can turn it off.
They outsmarted you, didn't they?
They know you turned the machine on.
So they put Peter in theirs...
And now we're the ones that are gonna get destroyed.
Something's wrong! Help me, quick!
Come on, let's move it!
[Ladder clattering]
Peter.
Olivia... You're alive.
Are you doing that?
I understand now.
(Peter) Walter? Walter!
I understand now.
I understand what the machine does.
I know what it's capable of, and I know where it came from.
The first people?
Yes, the first people, Walter,
but the first people are us--
you, most specifically
and maybe Ella and Astrid-- I don't know.
I don't know who it was
that took the machine back through time.
But I know something else.
I've seen doomsday,
and it is worse than anything you could possibly imagine.
This isn't a war that can be won.
Our two worlds are inextricable.
If one side dies, we all die.
So I've torn holes in both the universes
and they lead here, to this room.
A bridge so that we can begin to work together to fix--
you shattered my universe.
You have any idea how many deaths you've caused?
That was an accident.
What you have tried to do you've done on purpose!
Whatever you've both done,
we're here now.
So maybe it's time we start to fix it.
You were right.
They don't remember Peter.
How could they? He never existed.
He served his purpose.
