I raised you and your brother to be good, honest citizens. But these people, the ones who control these things, they don't want change. They'll fight back. And they'll win.
Igor
You can't predict what a person's life will be, and you can't deny them the challenges that will shape them.
Pastor Tim
I slept through the night yesterday for the first time in like, forever.
Paige
Igor: I couldn't help your mother. I had no power. No one did. Now I can crush people if I have to. And I'll crush them for you. To keep you safe. Not just because you're my son, but because you're good.
Oleg: I'm not bringing you down with me, it's too dangerous.
I don't care what it is. I'm your father, and I'll help you.
Igor
Oleg: I think I'm going to aim for the middle, where I can get things done.
Igor [smiling]: Mmmhmm.
Oleg: I got someone out of jail, someone we'd been investigating.
Igor: An innocent person?
Oleg: She didn't deserve what we were going to do to her. She was just trying to...make things work.
Igor: That's the trick here half the time.
Oleg: It's screwed up though, Dad. Because the higher-ups -- I don't mean you -- but some...they're just shit. They'll take the break people are supposed to eat and make a fortune out of it.
Igor: Is that what you've been working on? Good for you. I don't mean to make you talk. I know how it works.
I want to get out of here. We should just go. I mean it. Let's go home.
Elizabeth
Philip: So Konin is Perkupchick. Or someone who is the same height and age as she was at the end of the war?
Claudia: Yes.
Philip: I can't just get this order from them and do whatever they say. We talked about this.
Elizabeth: We'll make sure.
Do you think Paige wanted us to see those photos?
I don't know. She already told us.
But maybe she wanted to see us read them right in front of her. Or maybe she was just moving too fast.
You're gonna do great in my life. There's not a doubt in my mind about that.
Pastor Tim
Elizabeth: Why does this bother you so much?
Philip: It just does.
Elizabeth: The centre has nothing to do with them. Come on. And what if they do? So what?
Philip: I don't want Stan to be like Martha.
