| - PETER: You coming, Walter? Don't know that you really needed a tie. WALTER: I thought it was appropriate. PETER: Well, you look great. WALTER: Thank you all for coming. I have asked you here because I believe that I have discovered David Robert Jones' true intentions. I believe that Jones is trying to collapse our universes in order to create a gravitational singularity. As our worlds contract... the force becomes greater and greater, and as matter and energy are compressed to a point, the density is so great hat it has no recourse but to rapidly expand outwards again... creating a Big Bang. Mutual destruction. Our side, and yours. OLIVIA: And he would do all this why? WALTER: To create another universe. His universe. A world in which the laws of physics and nature are designed and controlled by him. BROYLES: But how did you come to this conclusion? WALTER: I had a dream. BROYLES: A dream? WALTER: My subconscious mind was working while my conscious mind was at rest. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Walter... with all respect, maybe it was just a dream. SECRETARY BISHOP: If I have learned one thing, it's that anything is possible. And given what we know about Jones' actions so far, what Doctor Bishop suggests should not be overlooked. PETER: Okay. So let's assume Walter's right. How would Jones do this? (In Sydney, Australia, Sally Clark stops walking to check her map and timer watch. In Beijing, China, a blond man chased by begging little kids navigates himself in a crowded alleyway. He stops to check his map and his timer watch. He climbs up the stair, ignoring the warning sign. In the Himalayas, Nepal, a brunette woman runs through the grassy field, stops to catch her breath and checks her timer watch. In Manhattan, New York, Nick Lane gets out the cab and pays the driver through the passenger's window) NICK LANE: Keep the change. (Nick Lane continues to walk through busy street, checking his timer watch. Sally Clark looks through her compass. The brunette girl navigates using a similar compass. The blond man reaches his destination in a rooftop, checks his watch and closes his eyes. Nick Lane, Sally Clark and the brunette girl close their eyes too) ANGERED DRIVER: Get out of the street! ANGERED CABBIE: Move! Let's go! Let's go!
