Fringe

They are coming.

Who's coming?

Our world's being taken over...

...by an advanced species of humans we call Observers.

Bite my hand and I will put you down.

I am Dr. Walter Bishop.

I had a plan to fight back.

They weren't all bad. One of them tried to help us.

He was called September.

Before we could strike, we were forced to amber ourselves.

Twenty years later, some of our team were found.

- What year is it? - 2036.

Do you know me?

I've been stuck in that amber for over 20 years. You barely look old enough--

Henrietta?

Hi, Dad.

The battle to save mankind is about to begin.

Olivia?

- Olivia? - It's okay. She's just resting.

- My little girl? - No children brought in.

She was with us. Where are they keeping the kids? Etta. Etta!

Dad?

You all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

I was just checking up on you.

What time is it?

It's around 7.

I made some tea.

And I found these in the fridge. They're called egg sticks.

Oh, my God, what is that? Punishment food?

Welcome to 2036.

The word "Naugahyde" not found.

Naugahyde was a very popular premium pleather.

- American patents, 1960s... - Peter. You let me oversleep.

We should be on our way to find Olivia.

Nobody wants to find Olivia more than I do, but you're gonna need some pants.

I'm aware I'm not wearing pants, Peter. I'm not an idiot.

The last time I spoke to her, she was in that location.

- Columbus Circle, 2015. - She was in New York?

She called me the day she disappeared.

I could hardly hear her. The line went dead.

You understand that conversation was 21 years ago.

She could be anywhere, in this city or not.

She had a piece of the puzzle.

A crucial piece.

This is just one part.

- What I sent her to get will unlock the whole. - The whole what?

Plan to defeat the Observers.

September and I worked on the plan he provided in a unique way.

After we completed each component, the information was scrambled in my mind.

A precaution against being read.

He told me that when the time came to implement the plan...

...I had to retrieve something from Grand Central Station.

And that then, all would be clear.

And that's what I sent Olivia to get.

She was on her way back when she vanished.

She never returned.

A few days later, I ambered us.

- Good God... what's that? - That's an egg stick.

What a miserable future.

Aspen. Help me find my shoes. There's no time to waste.

We have to believe she's still alive.

I know you're doubting that right now.

How could you know that?

Because how could she be? After all these years...

...what are the odds of getting us all back?

If she's still alive, Henrietta, we're gonna find her.

So this is what's left of Columbus Circle.

A travesty.

What did they do to the park?

They paved it to build machines that pump carbon monoxide into the atmosphere.

- Why? - There's one on every continent.

The air here, it's too oxygen-rich for them.

Few more years, the effects will be irreversible.

It'll reduce the average non-Observer life span to somewhere around 45.

It was somewhere around here she called me. She was running.

That much I could ascertain. And then the connection was suddenly cut.

Walter.

Yes, Olivia could be trapped in there.

We had already discussed the possibility of using amber as a last resort...

...should we be at risk of being caught by the Observers.

I had already given her an ambering device.

I would have given one to you too if you hadn't abandoned us.

Walter.

- He didn't mean it. - Sure he did.

Oh, no.

What are all those holes?

Everyone's gone.

Fourth Gen Amber Removal. They were taken recently.

So the Observers have Olivia?

No.

Amber Gypsies.

What on Earth are Amber Gypsies?

Oh, my.

The black market thrives here.

Hello there.

I fell in love in Japan once.

I almost married her.

Come on, Walter.

Go down three halls. It's the first area on your right.

You're not coming?

Fringe shakes these guys down all the time.

Someone will recognize me.

The path to happiness is just around the corner.

- Join us for a better world. - Walnuts?

Deal closer.

That's almost $3000.

If they tell you any different, they're trying to rip you off.

Excuse me, we're looking for someone who was cut out of amber not far from here.

We're not Loyalists.

Just concerned family members.

Freshest cuts are on the left.

I still can't believe my eyes.

What you've grown into.

Of course, you must understand...

...that for me it's only two months ago I took you to the pier.

You loved the horses.

Carousel.

You remember?

No. I wish I did.

That's just what they call them, right? Carousels?

They used to anyway.

To me, you will forever be a little girl.

The woman I'm looking for, she's a blond.

So is my sister. Those are the cuts.

This one would be hard to forget.

Well, information's expensive.

She would've had an electronic device in her hand.

Huh.

- Late 20s, black leather jacket? - Yeah.

She was sold.

She was sold?

Sold to who?

Your stage is waiting for you, Maverick.

- You selling tickets? - No, but you're buying one.

- I am? - Yes, indeed.

You being an understanding soul.

And one that don't like violence.

Let's get out of here. We don't want any trouble.

You're right, doc, not that kind.

This apartment is sanctioned.

I have invoked Native Rights, Statute 23D.

- Go away. - Markham?

Markham is dead.

He died a hero's death.

People were sad.

He gave his life saving a bus full of small children and--

You're alive.

- Where is she? - All of you.

- Where is she? - Why haven't you aged?

How did you not age?

We know you bought her.

I love her.

From the first time she came into my bookstore.

I never meant her any harm.

How'd you get her here? You had to use a dolly or something.

It's not supposed to happen this way.

She's supposed to wake up and see me as her savior.

When I figure out exactly how to wake her up.

A gurney. Peter. Here.

This place is a treasure trove of literature.

She's supposed to overlook my height...

...and realize that I'm really good for her and that I love her.

I have gone into substantial debt over this.

You have something to report?

- I got some information to sell. - Is it Level 4?

Yeah, it's good.

Some people I saw on Reward Wire.

I want three times the vouchers for my loyalty.

Proceed.

What's taking Walter so long?

I wanna get her out of here.

I'll go check.

Whoa!

Isaac Asimov. May I?

Who cares?

I tried my hand at science-fiction writing once. Once.

Resistance is futile.

I feel like I've heard that before.

Walter, run.

Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me.

- Etta. You okay? - I'm okay. I'm okay.

- Where's Walter? - He should be here.

Go. Go, go!

What are we gonna do about Walter?

Don't move.

Okay, you ready?

Three, two, one.

Olivia.

Olivia, breathe. Breathe. You're okay. You're okay.

Breathe, Olivia, breathe.

Breathe. There you go.

Peter.

Where am I?

You're in the year 2036.

- I ambered myself. - I know you did. We all did.

I found her.

More to the point, she found us.

Olivia, I want you to meet Etta.

Kiddo, come meet your mom.
