Fringe

Previously on Fringe...

What did they do to the park?

They paved it to build machines

that pump carbon monoxide into the atmosphere.

Why?

The air here,

it's too oxygen-rich for them.

A few more years, and the effects

will be irreversible.

I want you to meet Etta.

Hi, Mom.

What is your plan to defeat us?

Who's the little blonde girl?

She's helping you.

You never know when to give up.

No, no, no, no!

No! No, no, no!

I can't lose you, not again.

That's my girl.

I fell asleep.

I keep waking up and thinking

that I'm dreaming this terrible thing

and then I realize that it's not a dream.

Yeah. I know.

Why would we get her back just to lose her again?

What is that? Hey, you feel that?

Yeah.

Where's it coming from?

Whoa! Get off the street!

Storm coming in or something?

Integrity is stable.

Prepare for transport.

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

Come on, Walter. It's time to go.

It's this one.

May I keep this?

Etta's perfume.

It's the one she liked.

It reminds me of her.

Oh, my memory, it fails me.

But my sense of smell helps me remember.

It's yours. Thank you.

Hey, Astrid. Everything okay?

Hey.

I've ran into a bit of a fire hazard,

so there's no tape yet.

What is that?

You see that white tuby thing?

That is a propane tank for Walter's hibachi.

And that see-through blob over there,

that is a gallon of ethanol.

Abner,

why did you leave the propane tank there

in the first place?

Someone wanted to cook bratwurst.

Why is the ethanol there and not in the cupboard?

Because someone wanted to use the ethanol

to clean the hibachi before they cooked the bratwurst.

At this rate,

we won't get another tape until Wednesday.

More like Thursday.

Well, thank you, dear. Try and go as fast as you can.

That's Etta's phone.

Olivia.

I didn't know if you'd answer.

Anil.

I didn't know how else to reach you.

I took a chance.

I understand.

Olivia, it's important that we meet.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

She was special.

Not just to me, but to the movement.

I hope someday you'll understand how much.

What on earth caused this?

Well, we believe it's the result

of the baldies opening a shipping lane...

from the future.

A wormhole.

The reports we heard say that it started

with strange static electricity in the air.

What are they shipping from the future?

They're bringing back components

for the air-degradation system

that they're building in Central Park.

Similar burn radiuses were reported in France and Egypt,

where the other air-degradation systems were built.

If they finish this machine,

their air quality manipulation will be complete

on all continents.

And our lifespan will be reduced to 45 years.

We know that already. Etta told us.

If the pattern of what happened overseas holds,

this is just the beginning of many more shipments.

The resistance wants to destroy the next one when it comes.

I wanted to know if you knew anything about their language.

If we're gonna sabotage a shipment,

we need to know when it comes,

and we're hoping the answer is in that book.

Well, I'll see what Astrid can make of it.

Where did you get it?

It came as a package deal.

Niemann.

Okay, show them our visitor.

You captured an Observer?

Good work.

We caught him here yesterday.

He was walking around taking measurements.

Then this morning, this happened.

Well, did you get any information from him?

No.

What is it, Peter?

Whatever happened, it started here.

Something incredibly powerful was sitting here.

- A square. - A cube.

Yeah, the Observer we caught yesterday...

He had tech on him.

It was a cube about that size.

It had parts, and it came in a case.

I think that cube is the tech that opens the door.

Can we get the one that you have?

What do you want with it?

I'm thinking bigger than just one shipment.

I wanna hit them harder.

If the cube is what opens the door,

maybe it's powerful enough to destroy it.

Why stop at one shipment if we can destroy the entire corridor?

Well, how would we do that?

I don't know.

But look at the destruction that it causes.

You're talking about a tremendous amount of energy.

We don't understand this.

We don't know how it works.

Not yet.

Walter.

Anil is right.

We don't know exactly what we're dealing with here.

I've made up my mind.

Do you have anything I could use

to take samples of the carbon?

Yeah. I have a collection kit in the van.

I'll get it.

Before you go on a journey of revenge,

dig two graves.

I'm not worried about being destroyed.

It's the Observers who should be worried.

If we're gonna take out this portal,

we're gonna need that cube.

Bring the cube.

Copy that.

Son of a bitch!

If this really is a shipping manifest,

then I'm expecting dates, times.

I can't even differentiate

which of these symbols are letters or numbers.

This decryption program has been running for over an hour.

I can do this, you know?

It is understandable if you are overwhelmed.

I mean, you're in shock.

I think it's best if I just focus.

Oh, my God.

What?

I've been looking at this all wrong.

What do you see? A "B."

To us, it's a "B."

But they don't think like us.

To them, maybe this is a "B" and a "C"

and an 8 and a 6

and a 56.

This program is looking for a one-to-one correlation.

Any of these symbols could have many different meanings,

so...for every page, 200 symbols--

it's just too large.

There's too many possibilities.

We have to run multiple decryption programs

simultaneously.

I need more computing power.

A lot more.

Okay, I'm gonna call Anil.

Peter.

The amount of power coming off this thing is off the charts,

and it's not even turned on.

It's a strange alloy,

but no magnetic properties.

The only thing I know for certain...

is that it has the ability to blow us to kingdom come.

We don't even know if we're putting it together right.

If you are still intent on doing this,

I believe it is possible to destroy the shipping corridor.

But it is extremely dangerous.

Think of everything on top of this sheet as the future,

where they are.

When the Observers transport a shipment from their future

to our present,

they drop them down a wormhole that they created.

Because the wormhole is stable at both ends,
