Fringe

Hi, how are you today?

And we're still on

For the regional manager's meeting oh.

Tomorrow at 4:00?

Great.

Yeah, thank you.

Okay, great.

Okay, thank you. Bye-bye.

Oh, i'm so--

I did not mean to interrupt.

No pblem.

Don't you usually have

The little tablet thingy with you?

Yeah.

Uh, i usually do.

Is there something else, or...

I used to be a webelo.

and?

Um, the webelos... Cub scouts?

Your brownie patch.

Oh! Oh, yeah.

No, i--

I tually found that online.

It's kitschy, right?

I was gonna put it on one of my jackets.

Oh, that's--

Oh, that's, uh-- yeah, that's cool.

Hey, bethany,

We still on for drinks tonight?

Of course.

You better not keep me out too late this time.

We'll see.

no, no, no, no.

No, no, please.

Don't do this to me!

No. What happened?

Damn it! Oh, my god!

Do not crash on me.

This is not happening.

Hold it! Hold it!

Please hold the elevator.

I've got to find an i.t. Guy.

This is a disaster.

Oh, you dropped your ph--

Are you okay? Get away from me!

Oh, no.

Bethany?

Bethany!

Stop it!

Stop it!

I'm telling you because you knew about john

And you didn't say anything, so i trust you.

At least enough for me to not think

You're gonna think i'm crazy.

Oh, of course not.

I saw him last night.

You saw john.

yes, in my kitchen.

Standing about as far from me as you.

Hello, liv.

i grabbed my gun,

But he was gone.

I know he wasn't there.

Obviously.

I--i just--

Let me see.

You fall in love with your partner...

Who betrays you...

And your country.

He dies in your arms.

Then he shows up in your kitchen

And you're wondering if that's grounds

To recuse yourself.

Yeah, okay, well, we can start with that.

I say no.

You're the one that exposed him.

Bare minimum,

That makes you indispensable.

You want my advice?

Next time john shows up for a nightcap...

Give him one.

I'm being serious. So am i.

You think a few weeks pass

And everything you went through just goes away?

Don't fight it.

Don't beat yourself up.

You're good at that.

That's a character flaw.

It'll get easier.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY

Did she say what it was about?

Olivia? No.

She'll tell us when she gets here.

How are you feeling?

Never been better.

Oh? You look quite the opposite.

Maybe that's 'cause i had a little trouble

Sleeping last night.

Oh, i had trouble sleeping myself.

I was thinking about that man.

The one who tortured you.

Something about him.

So familiar.

Peter, when i was in st. Claire's--

We don't have to talk about this.

It's not important.

But it is important.

You cannot imagine what it's like

For a man like me

To not have access to parts of his mind.

You're doing fine, walter.

Dr. Bishop. Peter.

Ah, visiting hours.

Everybody put on their best straight jacket.

At approximately 10:17 a.m.,

A massive power surge struck a downtown high-rise

In worcester, massachusetts.

As a result, an elevator on the 26th floor

Plummeted straight to the basement.

Eight passengers died.

Did the cable snap?

That's what's strange.

The elevator didn't fall.

It drove itself into the ground.

That's not possible.

Nine months ago, a maglev train in tokyo

Plowed through a crowded station.

Publicly,

Reported as human error.

In reality, caused by a power surge

Of unknown origin.

Intelligence chatter speculated

That it might be a demonstration

Of a new weapon technology.

it's possible that this morning's event

Was another demonstration.

To override the elevator's circuitry

Would require a-- a discharge

Of immense power

And precision.

I've made arrangements for you

To be received at the building.

We need to know what happened,

How it happened,

And who's behind it.

I'm peter simmons, the building's engineer.

Olivia dunham, fbi.

This is my team,

Peter bishop and dr. Walter bishop.

So you've been briefed on what's happened?

Mm-hmm.

Damn elevator powered itself into the floor.

Never seen anything like it.

Shouldn't the brakes have come on automatically?

Well, that's the thing. They did.

I mean, the safety's clamped onto the rails all right,

But for some reason, the motor just kept going.

Nearly melted the shoes, which is technically--

Impossible?

Yeah, we're seeing a lot of that lately.

You know your elevators.

Mit drop-out.

Is there any security camera footage?

Nope. All the cameras fritzed.

Hey, can you people move out of there?

Fbi coming through.

So how could an elevator drive itself?

It's almost like another generator came online,

Jacked into the system, and overloaded it

With double or triple the voltage.

Exit wound burns.

Subconjuctival hemorrhages.

This woman displays

All of the symptoms of a classic--

Thermoelectric trauma.

What are you two saying?

He's saying that all these people were electrocuted.

Electrocuted.

May i?

That's lovely.

24 carat gold.

Traces of nickel,

Possibly cobalt.

How are you doing that?

This entire space is charged

With electromagnetic energy.

Far beyond that which occurs in nature.

There's still residual magnetic energy

From whatever electrocuted these people.

I need to examine the victims' belongings.

And one of the bodies as well.

Are you saying you may know how this happened?

No, not yet.

But i can tell you

Every one of the passengers in this elevator

Was dead by the time they hit the ground.

I've worked on a project where i've seen this before.

The government had asked me if it was possible

To make a human being trackable by pigeons.

Like homing pigeons?
