Fringe

Previously on Fringe:

There is one than one of everything.

Who the hell is this guy?

We're recorded him at over three dozen scenes,

all of which relate to the Pattern.

Why? What is he doing?

Watching. Observing.

We refer to him as the Observer.

We were dead, Peter.

Until someone grabbed me.

We were saved, both of us, by a man that I had never met.

You talk to him?

He wouldn't be any use to you.

He just observes.

I have said too much.

I'm not supposed to get involved.

Nice specs.

I've never seen anything like them before.

They're from somewhere far away.

I don't have any money.

Oh, that's okay.

I'm gonna give you one of these anyway.

There.

Oh, that's great.

Thank you.

Come with me, please.

Excuse me?

What are you doing?

Get off me! What are you doing?

Help me. Help me.

- Hey! - Let go. Help me.

- Let go! - Let her go.

Somebody help me, please!

Somebody.

Help!

Please help me.

Help me. Please.

Help me!

Help. Somebody.

Stop!

Stop.

"August"

Morning.

Good morning, funny face.

You ready for our day?

Yep.

This is the map Mom left for us.

There's four rollercoasters.

Oh, no, no, no. We agreed.

No rollercoasters.

You can go on any other ride you like, but no rollercoasters

'cause I am scared of the rollercoasters.

Oh, you think that's funny?

You think that that is funny?

Okay, no rollercoasters.

Hang on. Dunham.

Where?

Uh, no, I'll tell Walter and Peter.

So.

We're gonna have to take a rain check.

That's okay, Aunt Liv.

I know you have an important job.

Well, I'm gonna call the Jacobsens

and see if they can babysit.

And then I'll--

- Make pancakes? - Yes.

And I'll make you pancakes.

Are you sure it was him?

Uh, we don't have the security footage yet,

but an eyewitness said that he was wearing

a gray suit and a hat,

"One of those old ones from the '60s."

You don't have any information on the girl?

No.

The police showed her picture around the museum,

but no one knew who she was.

Hey, is Walter awake?

Oh, yeah.

He's in--

the kitchen.

And talking to him's not gonna be easy.

Why?

Walter!

We have company.

Oh, hello, Agent Dunham.

Walter, hey.

I need you to tell me what you know

about the man we call "the Observer."

You once referred to him as your friend.

And it seems that he may have kidnapped a woman.

They call it "the Strawberry Supreme."

His favorite ice cream store is shut down.

He made me wait in line with him for four hours yesterday

just so he could have one last milkshake.

They have a secret ingredient. It's--

It's mundane but it's-- Oh, it's sublime.

And I am trying to stimulate

my olfactory and gustatory senses

to try to recreate it.

Walter? Can you come with me?

We've recorded him at over three dozen fringe events.

Do you remember him?

Of course.

But there's nothing more than I've told you before.

Peter and I were in a car crash.

In a frozen lake, when I was a boy.

We were drowning, and...

he dove in and saved us.

But you say he's kidnapped a woman?

We think he may have.

Why? What are you thinking, Walter?

Hey, guys?

The footage from the abduction

has been downloaded.

Also, the police found a book on a bench by the museum

that had some kind of weird writing in it.

And they think it was his?

Well, they don't know,

but Agent Broyles is sending it over.

Have we I.D.'ed the victim?

No, not yet.

Wait a minute, Astrid.

Can you zoom in?

Now freeze it.

Peter, that isn't him.

That's a different guy.

There's more than one observer.

Stop. Ho--hold on.

What just happened right there?

Was he hit?

Who are these people?

- Please don't hurt me. - Please don't hurt me.

- Why are you doing this? - Why are you doing this?

- Please let me go. - Please let me go.

- I promise I won't tell anyone. - I promise I won't tell anyone.

- You don't have to do this to me. - You don't have to do this to me.

- Please. - Please.

It will be safer... if you stay quiet.

Her name's Christine Hollis.

27 years old in the masters program

for Fine Arts at B.U.

As far as we can tell, she's no one special.

Her parents are deceased.

No siblings, no arrest record.

$2,700 in her bank account.

Nothing unusual about her at all.

Well, do we have a home address?

We're working on it now.

Assuming she's still alive.

We have no reason yet to think otherwise.

Well, that's just it, isn't it?

I mean, we don't know what to think.

I--I'm lost.

24 years ago, one of them saved Walter and Peter.

Walter doesn't know why, or he can't remember.

But beyond that,

everything we know about these guys,

the little that there is suggests that they just watch.

They don't get involved.

But now...

Figure out why he took this girl.

What makes her the exception.

Do that, and I think you'll find him.

Hey, I think we may have a lead on the Observer.

Walter. Look at this. In his book.

I think that might be blood.

You might be right, son.

The scalpel, please.

Did he ever tell you why he saved us?

The Observer.

No.

We're close, Walter.

Whatever's going on,

whatever William Bell was warning Olivia about,

these people have the answers, I know it.

- I can feel it. - Mm-hmm.

This does not make any sense.

What?

His handwriting.

So far, I have counted 1,246 distinct characters

and not a single one of them

- repeats. - All right.

Not all of us majored in linguistics.

It means that every written language

is based on repetition.

So without repeated symbols, language is not possible.

Well, maybe it's a code.

Maybe.

But if so, it is the most complicated code

I have ever seen.

The computer can't make any sense of this either.

Hey, what you got?

Nothing concrete on the symbols yet.

But we found a blood sample in the book.

The kidnapper's blood?

Not sure. Walter's analyzing it now.

Walter.

Well, we can't be certain till we run the labs,

but I've noticed the blood has an orange tint,

perhaps a sign of hemophilia.
