| - (the two men move through the apartment in a semi-heated discussion about the current situation) AGENT LEE: (intent on having a conversation) Broyles has agents and B.P.D. combing the area, checking all the traffic cams. Nina has to be behind Olivia's disappearance. Once she's been processed in at the FBI, we'll get her talking. PETER: (intent on thoroughly searching the premises for a clue) I thought you said she's denying any involvement in this. AGENT LEE: For now. Her alibi is not gonna hold. And if she knows where Olivia is -- PETER: Good luck getting Nina Sharp to break down and tell us. AGENT LEE: Alright, point taken. You still haven't told me what you're hoping to find here. PETER: If Walter's right and Olivia is being dosed with Cortexiphan, it stands to reason that she was gotten to when she was alone And vulnerable. AGENT LEE: You think she was being watched? (Peter nods) And this Cortexiphan is the reason she's been acting strangely. PETER: That's Walter's theory. AGENT LEE: Right, he thinks that you've been somehow projecting your Olivia onto her, that she's assuming the memories and personality of the Olivia from your timeline. PETER: (curt) Is any of this relevant right now? AGENT LEE: (snip) It is to me. She's my partner. And if that's true, think about what you're doing to her. Unintentionally or not, you are robbing her of her identity, her life. She is not your Olivia, Peter. PETER: And what if she is? AGENT LEE: (matter-of-factly) You know that's impossible. Yet you still let her continue working the case, knowing that she was under your influence, that she wasn't herself. I don't know you that well, but I'd like to think you weren't ignoring her safety for personal reasons... and that you're not ignoring me right now. PETER: (staring at a ceiling-mounted smoke alarm) I'm not ignoring you. (stands on table and pulls down device) AGENT LEE: (studies the small camera hidden in the alarm) Wireless closed circuit. It could have transmitted anywhere. What's that? PETER: It's a backup memory disk. I've seen surveillance cameras like that before. They continually capture and store images on a disk like this in a sixty-minute loop. AGENT LEE: Olivia hasn't been here all day. I doubt it's recorded anything useful in the last hour. I can have our Techs take a look. PETER: They're not gonna find anything, but maybe Walter and I will. Let Broyles know that we're working on this. In the meantime, you should keep on working on Nina, 'cause if this doesn't pan out, you're gonna have to do the impossible. AGENT LEE: What's that? PETER: (departs the residence) Get her talking.
