Season 4 Transcript Bundle 301 - PROLOGUE Liberty Island - Brainwash Session DOCTOR ANDERSON: Agent Dunham, I'm trying to help you get your life back so that you can go home, back to your life, your job, your family. OLIVIA: This is not my home. DOCTOR ANDERSON: Because you come from another universe? OLIVIA: Yes. DOCTOR ANDERSON: Olivia... What is happening to you, given the nature of your job, the upsetting events you come in contact with on a regular basis, coupled with the injury to your head... It's not surprising your mind has created this fantasy... a means of processing the trauma. OLIVIA: This is not a fantasy. DOCTOR ANDERSON: You agree you are an agent with Fringe Division. OLIVIA: I work for the FBI in Fringe Division... dealing with weird and mysterious events that threaten the safety of the United States and its residents. DOCTOR ANDERSON: Good. (picks up a photo and shows it to Olivia) Is this your mother? OLIVIA: She looks like her, but it isn't her. DOCTOR ANDERSON: And these? (shows Olivia two more photos) Agent Lincoln Lee, Charlie Francis... are these your partners? OLIVIA: No. DOCTOR ANDERSON: And who is this? (shows another photo) OLIVIA: Another Olivia Dunham. The Olivia Dunham from over here. DOCTOR ANDERSON: And how does that sound to you, Olivia... What you're saying that there's a world beyond this world populated with people who look exactly like the people here? OLIVIA: It sounds preposterous, which is what I thought when I first learned about it, but as insane as it sounds, it's the truth. DOCTOR ANDERSON: Who's Peter? After you were injured outside the opera house, when you were under anesthesia, you mumbled the name "Peter." Is he one of your friends? The ones who came here with you from the other universe? OLIVIA: Peter is my colleague, a civilian consultant. My team and I crossed over here to find him and bring him home. DOCTOR ANDERSON: And where are they now... Peter and your friends? OLIVIA: I don't know. But I assume they had to go home without me. DOCTOR ANDERSON: Olivia, I know it's really scary... not being in control of one's own mind. OLIVIA: Doctor Anderson... I am not crazy. That is not my mother. My mother died when I was fourteen. The Charlie Francis that I knew was murdered. I have never won an olympic medal for marksmanship. None of these are me. This is not my life. DOCTOR ANDERSON: You think I'm trying to convince you you're someone you're not? Why would I do that? OLIVIA: I don't know DoD Headquarters - Another Dose BRANDON: You wanted to see me, sir? SECRETARY BISHOP: The treatments are not working. BRANDON: Well, that's, uh, not such a surprise. We always knew that transferring memories was a long shot at best. SECRETARY BISHOP: Let's try again, please. BRANDON: Sir, if we give her another dose, it could kill her. SECRETARY BISHOP: You and I know something that many lives and many more dollars have been spent to keep secret that we are at war... at war with another universe populated by creatures who have damaged the very fabric of reality. All around us, our world is under attack. Somehow, this girl came here. Somehow, she is equipped to move through universes. We need her to help us understand this skill because if we can do it, we can win this war. And if not, soon, there'll be nothing left to protect. Let's try again. Experimental Facility - Prison Break OLIVIA: Is it dinner already? SOLDIER: Afraid not. OLIVIA (strapped down): Please... Please don't do this again. (A scientist injects a blue liquid into her. When he is about to inject another (white) substance) I don't feel so good. (Olivia gasps) I can't... can't breathe. BRANDON: Unstrap her. Sit her up. (Olivia attacks the two scientists and made a run) Code blue. Code blue. SOLDIERS (running after Olivia): Freeze! OLIVIA: Come on! Come on! SOLDIERS: Hold it right there! Hold it right there! (Siren goes off, soldiers chasing after Olivia) SOLDIERS: I see her! Over there! ACT I Manhatan - Cab Jacked BROADCAST: The White House announced that President Obama has chosen former President John F. Kennedy to lead the government's new agency aimed at slowing ecological breakdown. President Kennedy plans to step down from his role as U.N. Ambassador. OLIVIA (gets in the taxi): Drive. HENRY HIGGINS: I'm gonna need you to Show Me. You know I can't put this cab into drive without your I.D. OLIVIA (points a gun): What's your name? HENRY HIGGINS: Henry. OLIVIA: Okay, listen, Henry. What I need you to do right now is I need you to drive. HENRY HIGGINS: Okay. Liberty Island - Fugitive Search COLONEL BROYLES: No, sir. Not yet. Shore patrol says there's no way she could have made it across that the currents are impossible this time of year. SECRETARY BISHOP: What do you think? COLONEL BROYLES: I think from what I know of Olivia Dunham. She's the one person I would bet on who could survive. SECRETARY BISHOP: Then find her. Herny's Taxi - Shopping for Olivia HENRY HIGGINS: Why are you wearing a hospital gown? Are you sick? OLIVIA: I've been held against my will and I'm being pursued by a division of the government. They've done experiments on me. They're trying to convince me that I'm someone that I'm not. (looks at the photograph) Is that your family? HENRY HIGGINS: Look, I'm just getting my life back together. I don't know what you're doing, but the last thing I need now is any kind of trouble. OLIVIA: You're not in any trouble, Henry... As long as you do exactly as I say. Okay, I want you to slow down Just up here and park. (Car stopped) Give me your I.D. Your "show me." (Olivia checks Henry's information on Show Me) Okay, you're gonna go into that store and you're gonna buy me some clothes. I now know where you and your family live. If you alert anyone, Henry, I assure you trouble will find you. HENRY HIGGINS: I understand. OLIVIA: Good. DoD Hospital - Visiting Lincoln AGENT FRANCIS: Knock, knock. LINCOLN LEE: Who's there? AGENT FRANCIS: Uh, no one, 'cause you're so ugly, no one would come to your door. LINCOLN LEE: Ha ha. (to Melissa) Hey, Melissa, you know how agent francis can tell which end of the worms living inside his body are which? Tickles them in the middle and sees which end farts. (Melissa laughs) Boom. MELISSA: I'll get you some water, Lincoln. LINCOLN LEE: So... what have you heard? How much longer are they gonna keep her there? AGENT FRANCIS: You know Olivia. She's strong. Physically, she's doing a lot better. But they're saying she had a complete psychotic break. LINCOLN LEE: I've heard of people losing time, you know? Not being able to remember the day leading up to a bad car accident. But this is crazy. And the other olivia? AGENT FRANCIS: She escaped to the other side, along with the secretary's son and the other Walter Bishop. LINCOLN LEE: You know, three days ago, I was eating a bowl of chocolate ice cream. I was watching Tom Cruise kick some ass on tv. I thought, "life's pretty good." Now all of this. COLONEL BROYLES: I'm afraid it's just gotten worse. LINCOLN LEE: Sir. COLONEL BROYLES: How you coming along? LINCOLN LEE: I'm doing okay. What is it? COLONEL BROYLES: Last night Agent Dunham escaped from the facility on Liberty Island. Henry's Taxi - Insane Passenger HENRY HIGGINS: Nice ink. What's it mean? OLIVIA: What? HENRY HIGGINS: Tattoo on the back of your neck. Looks like a sun of some kind. OLIVIA: They must have done it to me. She must have one. The other one must have a tattoo. HENRY HIGGINS: The girl they're trying to make you believe you are? OLIVIA: Yeah. HENRY HIGGINS: Yeah, that sounds right. I agree. OLIVIA: Hey, don't do that. Don't placate me because you think that I'm-- HENRY HIGGINS: What? Crazy? And what would you think if I jacked your cab in a hospital gown with a gun, screaming a conspiracy, telling you I'm being chased by the government and folks are trying to make me believe I'm a tattooed version of myself. OLIVIA: Look, I know I sound insane. HENRY HIGGINS: A little bit. OLIVIA: Well, I'm not insane. I'm not who they say I am. HENRY HIGGINS: Okay. So where we going? OLIVIA: You're taking me home. DoD Hospital - Finding Olivia COLONEL BROYLES: I don't have to tell you a delusional Fringe Division agent with sensitive, classified information is of great concern. AGENT FRANCIS: Do you have any idea where she's gone? COLONEL BROYLES: Not yet. Considering her mental state, she could be anywhere. (To Lincoln) Where you going? LINCOLN LEE: To get my clothes. COLONEL BROYLES: Not you. LINCOLN LEE: If Olivia's in trouble, I'm not sitting here. AGENT FRANCIS: I thought you had to go back to the hyperbaric chamber. LINCOLN LEE: I can be out for eight hours at a time. I got six hours left today. (To Melissa) Melissa. Get my nanite wraps. Brooklyn, NY - Amberized Opera House OLIVIA: If I'm not back in 15 minutes, you can leave.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION in the Period Immediately Following The
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION In the period immediately following the close of the Civil War, philanthropic endeavors were undertaken to reconstruct secessionist states, establish wide-scale peace among still- hostile factions, and develop efforts to enact social, legal, and educational support. This philanthropic era is characterized by the activities of a number of individual, denominational, organizational, including state and federal supporters that were subsequently responsible for engendering a Negro College Movement, which established institutions for providing freed slaves, and later, Negroes with advanced educational degrees. This dissertation studied: the genesis, unfolding, contributions, and demise issues in conjunction with the social, economic, and political forces that shaped one such institution in Harper’s Ferry (Jefferson County), West Virginia: Storer College, which was founded in 1865 as an outgrowth of several mission schools. By an Act of Congress, in 1868, the founders of Storer College initially were granted temporary use of four government buildings from which to create their campus.1 Over the next 90 years, until its closure in 1955, the college underwent four distinct developmental phases: (a) Mission School [Elementary], (b) Secondary Division, (c) a Secondary Expansion, and (d) Collegiate. Even today—as a result of another Act of Congress—it continues to exist, albeit in altered form: in 1960, the National Park Service branch of the United States Department of the Interior was named the legal curator of the 1 United States. Congress. Legislative, Department of War. An Act Providing for the Sale of Lands, Tenements, and Water Privileges Belonging to the United States at or Near Harpers Ferry, in the County of Jefferson, West Virginia (1868).

  • Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings
    GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS, SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS SPECULATIVE MATTER: GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS AND SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS By LAURA M. WIEBE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Laura Wiebe, October 2012 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Speculative Matter: Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings AUTHOR: Laura Wiebe, B.A. (University of Waterloo), M.A. (Brock University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Anne Savage NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 277 ii ABSTRACT Amidst the technoscientific ubiquity of the contemporary West (or global North), science fiction has come to seem the most current of genres, the narrative form best equipped to comment on and work through the social, political and ethical quandaries of rapid technoscientific development and the ways in which this development challenges conventional understandings of human identity and rationality. By this framing, the continuing popularity of stories about paranormal phenomena and supernatural entities – on mainstream television, or in print genres such as urban fantasy and paranormal romance – may seem to be a regressive reaction against the authority of and experience of living in technoscientific modernity. Nevertheless, the boundaries of science fiction, as with any genre, are relational rather than fixed, and critical engagements with Western/Northern technoscientific knowledge and practice and modern human identity and being may be found not just in science fiction “proper,” or in the scholarly field of science and technology studies, but also in the related genres of fantasy and paranormal romance.

  • Scandinavian Studies Newsletter
    Department of German, Nordic, and Slavic + Scandinavian Studies Newsletter Fall 2020 Volume xxiv, Issue 1 1 A Message from the Program Chair Greetings to all of you. We sincerely hope that this newsletter finds you well and COVID-free. We also hope that our newsletter will provide you with some interesting reading material now that we’re once again pretty much confined to our homes. Needless to say, this has been a very strange semester for students, staff, and faculty. As you probably know, we started off with smaller classes taught face-to-face, but because of a surge of students testing positive for COVID, we soon had to shift to online teaching. After a couple of weeks, the COVID cases di- minished, and once again faculty and staff teaching low-enrollment classes were allowed back on campus in order to resume face-to-face teaching. Some chose to do so, while others did not. After Thanksgiving, we have all been teaching online. The winter break has been extended by one week, and spring break has been eliminated. This is, of course, an attempt to keep the virus from spreading. We have both good and sad news. We are delighted to welcome two new faculty members: Benjamin Mier- Cruz and Liina-Ly Roos. Both are featured in this newsletter. They bring to the Nordic Unit interesting, new courses and research projects, and we’re very happy to have them as colleagues. The sad news is that Peggy Hager, our lecturer in Norwegian, decided to retire. We’re going to miss her very much.

  • '"There's More Than One of Everything": Navigating Fringe's Cofactual Multiverse'
    . Volume 13, Issue 1 May 2016 ‘There’s More Than One of Everything’: Navigating Fringe’s cofactual multiverse Casey J. McCormick, McGill University, Montréal, Canada Abstract: This article analyzes how viewers of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013) make sense of the series’ complex science fictional storyworld. It argues that Fringe presents multiple iterations of worlds and characters in a way that encourages ‘cofactual’ interpretation: rather than figuring parallel universes and alternate timelines as ontologically hierarchical, the narrative accommodates all versions of reality and invites viewers to participate in shaping the multiverse. The article offers a close reading of Fringe’s complex narrative structure alongside an exploration of how audiences responded to and impacted the series through fannish practices such as vidding and narrative mapping. It concludes that cofactual narration opens up an array of participatory practices that blur the text/paratext distinction and facilitate interactive storyworld building. Keywords: Complex TV, Fandom, Narrative, Paratexts, Counterfactual, Cofactual, Possible Worlds Cofactual Interpretation By the time viewers reach the series finale of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013), they have travelled across two spatially-distinct universes, three versions of the future, and at least four different timelines, with each world-iteration populated by different versions of the show’s central characters. Through its reinvigoration of science fiction tropes, such as time travel, alternate realities, and temporal resets, Fringe asks viewers to re-evaluate typical models of narrative world-building. The series constructs a multiverse comprised of what I deem cofactual diegetic worlds. I use the term ‘cofactual’ in contradistinction to the more common narrative term ‘counterfactual’ as a means of emphasizing the plurality and simultaneity of diegetic worlds in Fringe.
