Quotes
-
Werner Reinhardt : You must be dying to understand all the items you recovered. They're fascinating, no?
Peggy Carter : I don't suppose you'll tell me where they came from.
Werner Reinhardt : A myth from the East of a star that fell from the heavens; of blue angels who came bearing a gift for all mankind, meant to save the world.
Peggy Carter : You don't strike me as a believer.
Werner Reinhardt : Oh, I've based my whole life on it. History just has the details wrong.
Peggy Carter : Then set history straight.
Werner Reinhardt : These visitors... they didn't come to save the world. They came to conquer it.

Werner Reinhardt : So, curiosity brings her back. Have you come to make a deal?
Peggy Carter : With the devil? I considered it. As you've said, the skies might open up one day. Your work will be valuable. But if that day comes, I know who I'd want by my side. It isn't you.
Werner Reinhardt : We could learn so much together.
Peggy Carter : Instead, we'll forget... forget you, forget your work. When I leave, no one else will come, no one to hear your stories, study your deadly artifacts. You'll be buried.
Werner Reinhardt : I seriously doubt that. Nothing stays buried forever.

Calvin Zabo : Conquer? You heard "Conquer"? I think you got a bad translation. The way I understand it, it was "end" - to end mankind. Sparing a chosen few, needless to say.
Daniel Whitehall : Hmm. And that's why it's called the Diviner.
Calvin Zabo : Yeah. It decides who lives, who dies... who will inherit the Earth.
Daniel Whitehall : And only someone who can carry the Diviner, is allowed to enter the city.
Calvin Zabo : Or more importantly, the temple inside. But *I* can get you in.
Daniel Whitehall : And if I let you take a team, where will you take them? How do you intend to find this city?
Calvin Zabo : Well, I'll have to look everywhere really, really hard.
Daniel Whitehall : I'm not giving you men and money on the off chance that you'll find this place. Or if you do, that you'll not take its true power for yourself.
Calvin Zabo : Me?
[scoffs]
Calvin Zabo : Nah! No, I'm not management material. I'll leave that power part to you.
Daniel Whitehall : Then why? What do you have to gain?
Calvin Zabo : I have nothing to lose. I've lost everything important to me. And I want to kill those who took it... and finally be reunited with my family.
Daniel Whitehall : Reunited?
Calvin Zabo : In the afterlife.

The Doctor : [Talking about the obelisk] Tell me what you do know, sir, and I'll fill in the blanks.
Daniel Whitehall : I know that a special few can touch it without suffering. But I have yet to figure out how this weapon can be...
The Doctor : [Interrupts] Weapon? That's so small-minded.
[Retracts slightly]
The Doctor : Uh, for someone with such a big mind. It's a key. It can kill, sure, but only to protect itself from those it doesn't divine... hence the catchy name... to be worthy.
Daniel Whitehall : I'm interested in science, doctor, not folklore.
The Doctor : [Continues] ... Worthy of unlocking its true power.
[Whitehall perks up]
The Doctor : Oh, I got your attention. There's a place, and if one of those special people you speak of takes this Diviner to that special place, it won't just kill. It will do something... scientifically speaking... much, much cooler.

Peggy Carter : [Enters interrogation room] Werner Reinhardt.
Werner Reinhardt : That was a neat trick.
Peggy Carter : I'm sorry. I don't follow, doctor.
Werner Reinhardt : [Gestures to the pen on the desk in front of him] It's a pen. You wanted to see what I would do with it. After all, there are so many uses, no? Escape, confession, homicide... suicide.
Peggy Carter : It's true. I wanted to find out what kind of man you were. You didn't use the pen, so now I know.
