OLIVIA: I'm going to beg you as one human being to another. Your father may be able to save someone who is dying. Someone I care about very much.
PETER: Sweetheart, we all care about someone who is dying. I can't help you, I'm sorry.
OLIVIA: He worked out of Harvard, but not on toothpaste. He was a part of a classified US Army experimental program called Calvin Genetics. They gave him the resources to do whatever work he wanted. Which was primarily in an area called "fringe science."
PETER: When you say "fringe science," you mean pseudo-science.
OLIVIA: I suppose. Things like mind control, teleportation, astral projection. Invisibility, genetic mutation, re-animation, fertility...
PETER: Whoa, excuse me for a second. Re-animation, really? So you're telling me... what? My father was Dr. Frankenstein?
PETER: You know what? Why don't you go on ahead?
OLIVIA: He asked for you.
PETER: Thanks, sweetheart. I really appreciate that.
OLIVIA: Hey, I didn't tell him you were here. Call me sweetheart one more time, I'd really like that.
PETER: What are you asking me to...? No! Guardian? No. Forget it.
OLIVIA: He'll do it.
PETER: No, I will not.
OLIVIA: One phone call. That's all it takes. You want me to make it? Cause I've got my phone in my pocket. Now it's out of my pocket.
PETER: You wanted my father. Now you've got my father. Which falls into the category, be careful what you wish for, Sweetheart.
PETER: Coffee?
OLIVIA: Thanks.
PETER: Tell me. What else did that file say? About yours truly. How bad was it?
OLIVIA: I'm not at liberty to discuss it.
PETER: Why don't you go ahead and liberate yourself because I'm here now, so I kinda feel like I deserve the truth, don't you?
(Olivia looks at Peter without speaking.)
PETER: There was no file.
OLIVIA: I needed you back here.
PETER: So that was what? You were bluffing?
OLIVIA: I was desperate.
PETER: Yeahh, I'm usually pretty good at reading people. That's sorta what I do.
OLIVIA: Yeahh, well I could see you were in trouble. Anyone could see that.
PETER: So I could have stayed. I could have stayed in Iraq.
OLIVIA: You know, a car bomb went of this morning in Kirkuk. You just might owe me a "Thank you".
PETER: Yeahh, well, I owe a lot.
OLIVIA: Yeah, I figured. Mafia.
PETER: A guy named Big Eddie. I swear to you I'm not making that up.
OLIVIA: You owe money to a guy nick-named Big Eddie?
PETER: No, I owe money to a guy named Big Eddie. He had it legally changed. And the thing is, I'm not even a gambler. I mean I never was. It's just ... A couple of years ago I went a bit crazy.
OLIVIA: I thought you were a genius, you must have had a system.
PETER: Of course there was a system. The House was cheating. But you try telling them that.
PETER: Okay, Olivia, excuse me for a second. You're obviously under severe duress and you haven't slept since Iraq and the man you care about might die, but I'm telling you, that man will kill you!
PETER: I've got you. I hope your guy is worth it.
OLIVIA: I'm sure you're anxious to get as far away from here as possible. To Iraq or Afghanistan, or some other out of reach places. But I'm here to tell you that your father needs to stay, which means that you need to... too.
PETER: Are you okay?
OLIVIA: I don't know. I know you have countless reasons as to why this is a non-starter for you. But your father is a good man. He's not the monster you think he is and you're good with him despite what you think. And you're the only one who speaks Walter. We take him back to St. Claire's it's all over.
PETER: Where's John?
OLIVIA: I can talk to the Agency and get them to clear your gambling debt.
PETER: I can take care of my own debts, okay? What just happened? Where's John?
OLIVIA: I'm not gonna use false threats with you anymore. I don't need to. The threats are real.
PETER: After you left my father sat down, started talking to me and he was remarkably lucid. He told me about the work that he and William Bell have done in their experiments and that incident. What happened on that plane is just the beginning. Which makes every part of me feel like I gotta get the hell out of Boston.
