"It's awfully familiar." "Ah, yes." "It reminds me of a beanbag chair" "I once owned... 1974."

"Developed?" "Well, my theory is" "That this is the state in which they enter our universe." "And as I've said, being partly mechanical," "They can cross over in a w ay that humans can't." "But, uh, this one..." "Seems to have failed to mature properly." "Peter, would you take a look?" "shape-shifter embryo." "Adorable." "So the two teenagers..." "Maybe there were two mo re of these" "That hatched and killed them." "It's a sound proposition," "But presumably the embryonic shape-shifters" "Would have needed features, human identities." "They certainly wouldn't blend in otherwise." "So then those two teenagers" "Were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." "Dunham."

"I believe the interfering signal" "May have originated in the alternate universe." "We may be getting a glimpse into the other side." "Can we turn it up?" "yeah." "And slow it down." "What is that?" "It almost sounds like a language." "You hear the way that some of those sounds seem to repeat?" "shape-shiftersaresoldiers." "Soldiers always come with orders." "Maybe that's a message." "I can see what the code breakers" "At the bureau can make of it." "I got a better idea." "it's not a language." "It's math." "Math?" "Trig and metric equations" "In this case, a radio wave," "The kind given off by a solar flare," "Which is interesting." "Interesting how?" "Our astronomical division" "Picked up a surge in solar activity" "Right around that time." "Here's a radio wave from last night's solar flare." "Uh, here's your wave." "But yours couldn't have come from the sun." "Well, where else could it have come from?" "I don't know." "I mean, they're not in sync." "Suppose it came from a parallel universe." "Wow." "That--that would De" "Yeah, yeah, because in a parallel universe," "Time would be slightly out of sync." "And the waves would be too." "Hmm." "What?" "Imagine that these are the two universes..." "Slightly out of sync." "But on rare occasion," "They perfectly line up." "According to the computer," "That's gonna happen" "Between our universe" "And wherever this radio wave came from." "When?" "Based on this, tomorrow" "At precisely 3:31 p.M." "All right, who will be mccallister?" "That'd be me." "He's Wu." "Now everything else you need is in here." "Once you're done, we'll reconvene" "At the exchange points" "Tomorrow at exactly 20 past 3:00." "So that's it?" "We're still going through with this?" "Why?" "You have a problem with this?" "We're a man down." "Neither of us have time" "To handle the Verona assignment," "And you don't have a shifting device." "Maybe we should abort." "And I suppose you'll be the one" "To give the news to the secretary." "We won't have another chance like this for seven months." "So I'll figure out how to handle Mr. Verona." "You make sure you hold your end." "All right?" "You're the boss." "Then let's get to work." "Excuse me..." "Would you happen to know where franklin street is?" "Sure." "Uh, you're three blocks south of franklin," "So go down this street." "You'll see a convenience store." "Then make a left and go two blocks west." "I'll write it down for you." "Hey." "Where's Walter?" "He's out counting cars." "Thinks it might help jog his memory." "He says that human memory is best triggered..." "When accomplishing mundane tasks, I know." "Yeah, Walter's convinced" "That newton wants to build a door" "To the other side." "If Walter can remember what he told newton," "We might be able to figure out" "What's supposed to happen at 3:" "31 tomorrow." "And these cars that he's tracking down?" "Well, he promised to stay off the freeway." "Hey." "Hey." "How goes it?" "Uh, broyles sent over" "A list of state and local events" "Taking place tomorrow, so..." "Uh-oh." "Star trek convention at the Worcester centrum." "That's not good." "I told Walter I'd take him." "Maybe we'll just pretend like we didn't see that." "Sure." "I think I finally figured out why it is" "That Walter's been acting so strange lately." "He's been carrying this picture around with him" "A family photo from when I was a kid." "I think he wants to talk to me about how my mother died." "About a month after I got to Europe," "I got a call from st." "Claire's..." "From Walter." "He told me that she died in a car crash." "It wasn't a car crash." "My mother committed suicide." "It was the only time I spoke to him" "In the 17 years that he was locked up in st." "Claire's." "He must have known the truth." "I think, in his way, he was trying to protect me." "And... and for whatever reason, he wants to talk about it now." "Peter..." "You know that Walter loves you very much." "Peter!" "Our synthetic friends." "I believe I know how to figure out what they're up to." "You remember what you told newton?" "No, but as they say in Finland... there's more than one way to roast a reindeer." "But I'll need some supplies." "I need six car batteries, a voltage transformer," "And--and several yards of ten-gauge electrical wire." "Oh!" "Uh, and a corpse." "Any corpse will do." "But it shouldn't be dead for more than two days." "Hello." "Can I help you?" "Yes, I'm here to see your manager, Mr. Mccallister." "He's..." "He's expecting me." "So, boss, you felt the need to check up on me?" "Yeah." "Figure out what to do about Verona?" "I have some thoughts." "Mr. Mccallister?" "Yes?" "Approval for an overdraft withdrawal?" "Oh, thank you." "I'll be there in just a minute." "Okay." "You can handle the rest." "Just make sure the device remains undisturbed." "Tied into the house power," "And the volt meter is ready to go." "Uh, so, Walter, you're sure that I'm doing this right?" "It's perfect, Olivia." "Just make sure they're tightened down." "Walter, you really think that his is gonna work?" "There's no reason it shouldn't." "I mean, something stopped this creature" "From developing," "And because it's part mechanical," "If we pump it with enough electricity," "We should be able to restart it," "Like jump-starting a car." "So what's the corpse for?" "Is this embryo supposed to reanimate it?" "Oh, don't be ridiculous." "B-but, if we intend to question this creature," "Then it WI need an identity to..." "To shape-shift into." "'cause that's not ridiculous at all." "I think we're ready, Olivia." "80 amps." "80 amps." "Hmm, not enough power, but it seems to be working." "Uh, try 110." "110." "Walter... 140." "140." "I think we must have blown a fuse." "Oh, my." "Look." "Astrid, quickly-- some candles." "Something's wrong." "When I cut into it," "I must have damaged it." "Peter, the corpse." "All right, good on my side." "Help me." "Contact..." "Newton." "Thomas Jerome newton?" "Where is he?" "Verona." "D-d-Daniel..." "Verona." "Wait, who is Daniel Verona?" "blood type a.B. Negative." "Cellular polarity..." "We're losing him." "Okay, tomorrow afternoon," "What is happening at 3:31?" "I'm..." "Sorry." "Daniel Verona?" "FBI." "911." "Whatis youremergency?" "Well, there's a man." "He's middle-aged, Caucasian." "It looks like he's having a heart attack." "What is your location?" "I'm on the corner of longwood and Huntington." "What is your name, sir?" "oh,mygod!" "Hey, this-- this guy needs help!" "Does anyone know CPR?" "Someone call an ambulance, quick!" "he's not a shape-shifter." "We'll run his blood anyway," "Test it for mercury." "Maybe we got to him before they could." "Why him?" "I mean, why Daniel Verona?" "What could they want with him?" "Medical examiner, works out of Boston general..." "It's anybody's guess." "Yeah, you too." "Okay." "Good night." "Agent Dunham?" "Yeah." "Verona was a bust." "Walter..." "You've been awake for two straight days." "You need to get some rest." "Shape-shifters..." "I should have been more careful with my initial dissection." "If I hadn't caused so much damage," "It would--it could have told us everything." "But you couldn't possibly have known that." "It was definitely stupid and inexcusable." "Calm down." "It's gonna be okay." "Okay, yeah." "We're gonna figure it out, just like we always do." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay?" "Hmm." "I want you to get some rest, dad." "I'm gonna hit the sack." "I'll be upstairs if you need me." ""dad."" "Huh?" "You just called me dad." "Yeah, I guess I did." "Peter!" "Yeah?" "Newton..." "I think I know what he's planning to do." "She's here." "Agent Dunham, I'm" "I'm sorry to get you out of bed." "Oh, it's okay." "Okay. now..." "Geometry and harmonic vibrations" "That's how we did it, belly and I." "Did what?" "Sent belly's Monte Carlo from this universe" "To the other side." "Now as I've said before," "The two universes vibrate at different frequencies." "So we set up three harmonic rods" "Arranged as an equilateral triangle" "And then activated the rods." "When the car began to vibrate" "At just the right frequency..." "That's how we sent belly's car to the other side." "And it's exactly what newton did with the building." "But newton's attempt failed." "Yes, indeed it did," "B-because the building that newton brought over" "Landed in a location that was already occupied by another." "But I suspect that Mr. Newton" "Has found a way around that problem," "Because he has something that belly and I never had." "What's that?" "Agents in both universes." "Yes, peter." "So if we set up the harmonic rods" "In exactly the same position" "In each universe," "Like so..." "And we activate the rods..." "Boom." "Then whatever is in the center of each triangle" "Will simply be exchanged." "Of course, that would likely require" "That the universes be in sync." "3:31 this afternoon." "Okay, so, uh..." "So what could newton bring here?" "Last time he brought a building," "So I suppose anything he could fit inside of it" "A-a machine." "An army." "Yes." "If the triangle is large enough, that is possible." "Okay, so we have roughly ten hours" "To figure out" "Where the center of newton's triangle is." "Yes." "But it could be anywhere." "three points" "Newton would have to place the harmonic rods" "At three specific locations across the city." "Okay, so that's why newton's going after Verona," "Because Verona must have access to one of the three points." "So that would suggest either Boston general hospital" "Or Verona's home." "Okay, so Verona lives in beacon hill-- 520 south garden street." "It doesn't matter." "It's only a couple blocks from the hospital." "So for our purposes, that's our first point." "IthinkImightbeable to help." "Boston p.D. Just found a corpse" "In chestnut hill village." "Three punctures to his soft palate." "His name is Ben mccallister." "He's a branch manager at pinewood savings bank." "He was found just outside his office." "Not easy to access a bank." "Okay, 185 mason ave." "Mason..." "So that's our second point," "And now we have the first leg of our triangle." "We've got more than that, son." "We're looking for an equilateral triangle," "Therefore, the third point" "Can only be in one of two places, right." "All right, so the third point" "Is either Arlington" "Or..." "Cedar grove." "Well, try both." "See what's in the center of each triangle." "It's either Hyde park..." "Or right on the Charles river." "So he's got to be targeting Hyde park." "Is there a bridge on the Charles?" "Yeah, a condemned railway bridge." "Why?" "Uh, the water would absorb" "Any excess energy caused by newton's procedure," "So he must be making the exchange on the bridge." "She's right, peter." "Uh, it's Dunham." "I think we have something." "We're all set." "Any problems?" "All good." "Go deal with it, now." "arewesendinganyonetolook for the harmonic rods?" "agents are on their way" "To the morgue and mccallister's bank in chestnut hill." "Boston p.D. Have been deployed" "To the Andrews avenue bridge." "What's your status?" "We're a few minutes away." "Whatever newton's trying to bring over," "Walter thinks he can stop it." "okay,callme whenyou get there." "Walter, how is this thing gonna work?" "Vibrations are composed of shock waves," "And like sound waves," "They can be nullified by their opposite" "Right, like noise-canceling headphones." "Precisely." "The seismograph" "Will pick up the vibrations from newton's device." "The laptop will calculate its opposite" "And transmit it to the pneumatic hammer." "To send out vibrations" "That would cancel out newton's device." "Of course, we have to get the hammer as close" "To the center of the bridge as possible," "Which might be dangerous." "Dangerous how?" "The vibrational waves" "That newton will need to generate the intensity" "Devastating." "What do you mean, "devastating"?" "I suspect it would tear a man apart." "Walter, I need you to stay here" "And finish putting that thing together, okay?" "Hey..." "We need to get on that bridge." "I'm afraid that's not possible." "Uh..." "I'm with the FBI." "You're the boss." "Let me just check with the sergeant." "How did you know?" "A cop wouldn't call his sergeant on a cell phone." "Walter!" "No!" "It's 3:32." "Walter's not gonna make it in time." "I'm going up there." "Cover me." "Hey." "Peter, you need to get off this bridge." "I have to put this right." "I started this, I've got to" "It's gonna go faster if we do it together." "what?" "Yeah, the two on the bridge- get them out of there." "Peter and Walter are on the bridge." "It's started." "Pneumatic is ready." "Seismograph is ready." "Cleaning up the program!" "Something's wrong!" "I don't understand." "It should be working." "There's something wrong" "With your frequency-recognition program." "But don't worry." "I can fix it." "how we doing?" "I need you all to get off this bridge now." "Get off the bridge." "No, Walter, there's nothing else you can do." "I need you to get him off this bridge." "come on, Walter." "No, Olivia." "Walter--Walter" "Aah!" "You okay?" "Welcome back." "How long was I out?" "Uh, about a day and a half." "Here." "The doctor said that you'd be fine, but Walter was worried." "I'm fine." "Is he here?" "Yeah." "He wouldn't leave." "He'll want to know that you're up." "Olivia..." "I'd like to speak to him alone, if that's okay." "Sure." "Peter." "Oh, they told me you'd be all right," "But I was so worried, son." "And..." "There was another man on that bridge." "When newton's device started to work, I saw him there..." "Just walking down the bridge." "He had to have been from the other side." "You said the effects of newton's vibrations" "Would be devastating." "And..." "They were." "They destroyed that FBI agent." "They just..." "Disintegrated him like he wasn't even there." "But they didn't kill the man from the other side." "And they didn't kill me." "I'm not from here, am I?" "You didn't just open up a hole to the other side." "You went through..." "And you brought me back." "That's why I was able to survive newton's device." "It's why I can't remember my childhood." "You were dying, peter" "It's why my mother committed suicide." "Isn't it?" "She knew..." "Didn't she?" "And when I left," "The guilt was too much for her to live with" "The lie." "Peter, you need to understand something." "I understand, Walter." "I understand everything now." "Son..." "I am not your son." "I'd like to be alone now." "Uh, it--it would be easier" "If you don't try to talk just yet, Mr. Secretary." "You see, despite the preparation," "Crossing over is quite an ordeal on your body," "And, uh, the consequences are unpredictable." "This..." "This should help." "You should..." "You should be able to sleep for a while." "And hopefully, when you wake up," "You'll be stabilized." "Walter, it's 6:00." "Peter's probably still sleeping." "I have to go to the hospital now." "Are you going to drive me, or shall I call a cab?" "Hey." "Walter..." "Peter checked himself out of the hospital" "Three hours ago." "He isn't at the lab," "And he's not answering his phone." "He's gone."
