Leslie Odom Jr.: Peter Collier

Quotes 

• Hersh : This doesn't have to escalate. Everyone can walk out alive.

  Peter Collier : Come on, no need to play games. We both know I'm not a bank robber and you're not a hostage negotiator.

  Hersh : ...If you evacuate in the next 60 seconds, we'll let you live. If not, your organization ceases to exist. No records, no funerals.

  Peter Collier : You have no intention of letting us leave, but I'm glad we talked. My sources tell me the drives hold intel about a worldwide surveillance system, but judging from your concern, I'm guessing it's something even more explosive than that; something worth dying for. We will expose the abuses our government has perpetrated. Good-bye, Agent.

• Peter Collier : You know, since we first crossed paths, I've tried to find information about you, but there is none.

  Harold Finch : I'm quite private.

  Peter Collier : As am I. I think we have a lot in common. I'd like to work together, make a deal. You don't have to die.

  Harold Finch : [Quotes]  Civil liberties cannot be forged in blood.

  Peter Collier : Violent revolt is an American value. Do you know the man you're protecting? We believe he's building a secret system, a system the government plans to put in place to spy on all of us. Now, he must be held accountable. And the world needs to know about this program. Either let us in, or we will blow the vault wide open.
