00:00order or ASD. He is seen standing on a street of New Jersey keeping an eye on a woman in a nearby
00:05flower shop. In the midst of this, he also seems to be doing some complex calculations related to
00:11the timing of events happening in his surroundings. Milo notes the approach of a passenger bus, a
00:16pothole, a street artist, and a bicycle rider speeding. Following these observations, he crosses
00:22the street and strategically places a pen on the top of a mailbox adjacent to the pothole. Soon after,
00:29his planned chain reaction takes place. A taxi runs over the pothole, splashing the water on the pen,
00:35causing it to fall to the ground. This captures the attention of the street artist, who then walks
00:40forward to pick up the pen. At the same moment, the speeding cyclist collides with the artist,
00:44which results in him striking the mailbox and falling on the fruit stand nearby. Chaos ensues
00:51in the street, diverting the attention of everyone, including the bus driver. As a result, he does not
00:56notice the traffic light turning red and hits the same woman crossing the road, killing her
01:01on the spot. And people say math isn't dangerous. Milo then walks away from the scene after confirming
01:07that his plan went smoothly. The scene then cuts to an FBI special agent, Olivia Dunham. She works for
01:13the Fringe Division of Homeland Security, specializing in paranormal phenomena. Olivia seems to be returning
01:19back to work after a long gap due to her head injury. As soon as she enters the Fringe headquarters,
01:24she is greeted by one of her fellow officers, Charlie, who is the supervisor of the team.
01:30In the meantime, the chief of the agency, Walter Nett Bishop, is talking to one of the lab assistants,
01:35Philip Broyles, regarding Olivia's return. Philip says that she is a doppelganger named
01:40Faux-Livia and expresses concern if they can integrate an imposter in their team. Here,
01:46it is revealed that Olivia, who is inside the office, is not the real one. She is, in fact,
01:51an imposter who has been brought to fulfill the place of the original one. Walter Nett then reveals
01:56his motivation behind keeping Faux-Livia in this universe and implanting the real Olivia's memories
02:02into her. He claims that Faux-Livia is the only one who can travel between universes without any harm.
02:08Walter Nett wants to figure out how she can do so. For this, he says that they must make her believe
02:13that she belongs here. Philip asks, what if her new identity does not hold? To which,
02:18the chief replies that she will no longer be necessary after that. Afterwards, Charlie briefs
02:24the team on the seemingly random bus accident, which he claims to have happened two times in
02:29this week. The victim has died in each case. He then asks his crew to be careful before going for
02:34the site investigation. A short while later, the FBI team arrives at the accident site and splits up
02:40to search for any leads or clues. The investigation is led by another FBI agent named Lincoln Lee,
02:46whose face appears to be ruined by burn marks. Charlie inspects the body and uses her fingerprint
02:51to retrieve her further details. She eventually finds out that the deceased woman's name is Julian
02:57Foster. Meanwhile, Olivia questions the bus driver, who is shaken by the incident, as he has never even
03:03hit any birds or animals until now. Simultaneously, Agent Lee tests for any signs of environmental factors,
03:09but finds nothing. However, he does find the same ballpoint pen at the scene. After inquiring with
03:15the eyewitnesses, Olivia approaches Agent Lee and tells him that the local artist had bent down to
03:21pick up the pen, during which he collided with the bicycle rider and fell into the fruit stand.
03:26Upon hearing this, Agent Lee speculates that the pen is the main element that created a sequence of
03:31reactions, ultimately leading to the victim's death. The next day at French headquarters, Agent Lee and
03:37Charlie are trying to find out a connection between the bus accidents that happened in the two days.
03:42Agent Lee spots the same ballpoint pen in the photo of the first accident, which makes him even more
03:47convinced that someone has orchestrated the chain of events. Following this, they go to talk to a
03:52mathematician of the fringe agency, Astrid, and tell her about the events. However, she claims that no
03:58human can carry out such a chain of events and mold it in his or her favor twice. Amidst their argument,
04:04another similar bus accident takes place, leaving Astrid in shock. Two plus two equals you get hit
04:11by a bus. The FBI agents immediately rush to the site and find that the victims are still alive this
04:17time. Upon questioning the bystanders, they learn that a dog suddenly crossed the road, causing the
04:22bus to lose control. Just then, Olivia notices a similar ballpoint pen rolling down in the ground,
04:28which makes her realize that the chain of events is not over yet. She looks around and spots a
04:33suspicious Milo looking down from an overhead bridge. Moments later, a man wearing earbuds
04:39walks forward to cross the street, only to be hit by an oncoming ambulance. I guess the paramedic
04:45needed to hit his quota, with her suspicions confirmed. Olivia alerts her team and races towards
04:51Milo. Seeing this, the latter instantly calculates another series of events and throws a bicycle off
04:56the bridge. This prompts a bus to change its path and drive right under the overhead bridge.
05:01Olivia holds him at gunpoint, threatening him to surrender, but Milo jumps off the bridge,
05:07lands on the bus's roof, and gets away. Milo is the bus whisperer. After this event, Milo returns
05:13home to find his sister Madeline worried for him. She tells him that she has been getting numerous
05:18calls from the hospital, but he ignores her. She then tries to convince him to surrender,
05:22claiming that he has gone way too far. However, Milo anticipates her actions and completes her
05:28sentences, effectively silencing her. Not long after, Madeline shows him a small plastic horse toy,
05:34a reminder from their mother. This makes him feel uneasy, and he walks away, saying that it is
05:39irrelevant now. On the other hand, Agent Lee is taken to the hospital for his regular skin checkup.
05:45Before entering the burn chamber, he asks Olivia to focus on finding commonalities among the three
05:50victims. Heeding his instructions, Olivia returns back to headquarters and starts talking to the
05:56witnesses of the accidents. After a bit of inspection, she discovers ties between the three
06:00victims and a medical center. All three of them were directly or indirectly related to this center.
06:06She shares her discovery with Charlie, and the two immediately head to this very medical center.
06:12Upon arriving there, Olivia notices that one set of patients are using the same ballpoint pens,
06:17as they are unable to cope with digital devices. iPads make them iMAD. Later, they meet Dr. Levin,
06:24a chief doctor who recognizes all three victims of the bus accidents. After briefing them on some
06:29details about the victims, Dr. Levin explains that they have been helping mentally challenged patients
06:34with experimental processes to boost their intelligence. He also shows them video footage
06:39of their patients, in which Olivia spots Milo. Upon inquiring about him, Dr. Levin responds that he is one of
06:45their patients who also went through the same drug trial that boosted his IQ exponentially. He goes
06:51on to say that Milo was released from the hospital under supervision of his sister, and that he was
06:56scheduled to return back in order to reverse the experimental process. But now, he is not responding
07:02to their calls, and he is killing everyone who is trying to take control of him. After learning
07:07about Milo's sister, the FBI agents decide to pay her a visit. Unbeknownst to them, Milo is keeping a
07:13close eye on Olivia, noting every single pattern of her movements, and predicting her next move.
07:19Later on, Charlie and Olivia arrive at Milo's place, where they are greeted by Madeline. They ask
07:25her about Milo's whereabouts, but she claims to be unaware of them. Sensing that she is hiding
07:29something, the agents tell her about the crimes he has committed, and how dangerous it is to let him
07:34roam free. While Charlie goes to investigate Milo's room, Olivia shares about her late sister,
07:39revealing how they used to care for one another. This comforts Madeline enough to share more details
07:45about her brother. She explains that Milo is able to predict the outcome of numerous events,
07:50down to the smallest detail, and that she can break Milo's concentration only by showing him
07:55the toy horse. Whenever he sees Bullseye, he gets a Woody. Olivia eventually manages to persuade her
08:02to disclose anything she knows, emphasizing that they are concerned for civilians, as well as Milo's
08:08safety. Madeline then hands her a note, revealing the location of the hotel that Milo is currently
08:13staying at. After this, Olivia and Charlie discuss plans with Astrid on how to capture Milo. However,
08:19they soon realize that any plan would be futile, because he can predict their every move. As a result,
08:25they opt to approach the hotel directly, without any backup. I don't know how that's going to help,
08:31but they know best. In the meantime, Milo is seen at his hotel room, looking down through the window,
08:36and envisioning scenarios that are going to happen in the next few minutes. With his ability,
08:40he predicts that Olivia and Charlie will arrive soon, and that they will chase him. He also calculates
08:46that he can kill Olivia by luring her through a marked zone of a construction site, where the air
08:51is too thin, and crushing her under a load of cement bricks. Just like he predicted, the two FBI agents
08:58arrive at the hotel, and find Milo waiting for them in the street. He then runs towards the construction,
09:03while the agents pursue him. Olivia, who is unaware of the warning signs for the thin air zone,
09:09races through it, instead of stopping to put on a respirator. This actually makes Milo's
09:14calculation wrong. He didn't think she'd be that dumb. In addition, she also dodges a pile of
09:19cemented bricks, which Milo assumed would crush her. The villain is shocked to witness his calculation
09:24going wrong, and is ultimately caught by her. At this point in time, Olivia nearly asphyxiates
09:29herself, due to the low level of oxygen. But thankfully, Charlie arrives in the nick of time,
09:34and helps her with a breathing apparatus. In the aftermath of these events, Charlie asks Olivia
09:39about why she did not stop to put on a respirator, to which she responds that she did not recognize the
09:44warning sign. Later on, Olivia brings Madeline to the hospital, where Milo is seen interacting with a
09:50supercomputer. According to the doctor, the IQ-boosting drug has been in Milo's brain for too
09:56long, due to which they are unable to carry out the reversal process. Now, his mind has become so
10:02advanced that only machines can comprehend his thoughts. Saddened by this news, Madeline goes
10:08inside the room and leaves the toy horse in front of her brother. The same evening, Olivia is at her
10:14place when she experiences a vision of Peter, her boyfriend from another universe. He tells her that
10:20she does not belong to this universe. In order to back up his claim, he reminds how her lack of
10:25knowledge regarding this universe saved her life earlier. According to him, she would have died if
10:30she had recognized the warning signs and stopped there. Peter encourages her to try recalling all
10:36of her memories, and also kisses her.
