I have a terrible headache, and a sudden craving for chicken wings.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Hello, I'm Dr. Walter Bishop. This is test subject number six.
What happened to subjects one through five?
I believe the university settled with them out of court. They probably never had to work again. Not that they could.
I ran into a guy from high school this morning. You should have seen the look in his eyes when I told him what I did.
Like chicks with guns turned him on?
More like I was a freak. Like I had suddenly grown a third eye. Ever get the feeling that doing this job makes you less and less normal?
[chuckles] Absolutely!
[to Peter] You had no choice. The first time I killed someone, the guy was a trained killer. If I hadn't pulled the trigger, I would be dead. I still didn't sleep that night, or the next. I'm just saying the first time is rough.
It's remarkable how Rose was willing to expose her secret to right a wrong. Brave of her.
You did something brave, too. The way you spoke up for those people. You didn't have to do that. I'm proud of you.
I'm glad you choose to see me the way you do. Very glad, indeed.
Were you able to get a hold of Rachel?
No. I didn't try. She just went through all this stuff with me in the hospital, and she's still having nightmares about me being dead. What's the point of scaring her again? We are going to get out of this.
That's just like you. Even now you're protecting her. I thought that was the point of having people that cared about you in your life: to have someone to talk to when you're scared.
Give me the gun Olivia.
Peter, they're going to shoot you.
They're gonna kill us all anyway. The cure is out there. They're lying to us. And you locked me in here.
Uhh!
(Peter attacks Olivia and starts to choke her)
You betrayed me!
(Olivia forces him off and he rams her into the wall as her pistol fires. Peter knocks it out of her hand. Olivia kicks him right where it hurts)
Uhh! (diving for her dropped pistol below a vehicle)
(steps on her arm) Hyuh!
(in pain) Agh!
(after grabbing the pistol, he aims it at her) Stay down.
I'm sorry.
You weren't yourself.
It's lucky for me that you were.
Walter. Inside, upstairs, when you said "I can't let Peter die again." What did you mean by that?
Some things are meant to be left alone, Agent Farnsworth.
[on the phone] You've got to be kidding me.
Congratulations, Mr. Bishop. You've just won an all expense paid trip to New York City.
I thought I told you people to take me off your contestant list.
Not according to our records. [smiles] It says here that you're a fan of fine dining and excitement!
Do you have a supervisor? Anybody there I could complain to, because this has to stop.
Did I mention there's excitement?
[hangs up] Walter, wake up. We just won an all expense paid trip to New York City.
That's fantastic! I've never won anything before.
What am I looking for?
Anything that looks like it doesn't belong.
I think this qualifies. Richard Nixon on a silver dollar.
That's disturbing.
So when you separate them, Walter, how are you going to tell them apart?
Mr. Pratchett from over there was married, he was wearing a wedding ring.
So as far as his wife will ever know he just disappeared? That is so sad. Wow, look at this. It's a double-decker car! Does this mean they drive these over there?
I suppose so.
I have a freakishly good memory. I remember everything. Not this. There's just nothing that's familiar.
Maybe that's a good thing.
I think I'm starting to understand why the process didn't work. You are different. You're not that frightened child anymore. I thought all we needed was a heightened emotional response from you, but I was wrong. We needed a specific one: fear! And you're not capable of that anymore. Not like she was. What we did to you, you found a way to protect yourself. You channeled your fear into anger, which is why you're so good at your job, but if you want to save those people you have to find your way back to that scared little girl.
And how do we do that?
I don't know.
[walks away and finds the room she was frightened in as a child, then sits in the corner]
Hey. Is this a part of Walter's test? Are you all right?
No. I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
The largest building on this list has what, five hundred people?
So you think we should just let the building disappear. Let those people disappear.
There are times when the only choices you have left are bad ones.
Olivia, you... [pauses] I've never met anyone who can do the things that you do.
Peter, I'm scared.
Don't be. [they lean in to kiss each other, but Olivia pulls away] What's wrong?
Peter, I'm scared! [runs out of the room, up to the roof to find the shimmering building]
