Tell Candice I love her.
Peter Friedkin is a main character and the main antagonist of Final Destination 5 and is a survivor of the North Bay Bridge collapse. He is an employee at Presage Paper and the boss and best friend of Sam Lawton. After the death of his coworker and girlfriend Candice Hooper.
Peter was the fifth survivor of the bridge collapse to die.
Peter lived in New York and worked as a middle manager at Presage Paper. He was dating Candice Hooper and was also good friends with Sam Lawton and Molly Harper.
Peter is on his way to a corporate retreat with his colleagues when Sam has a vision that the bridge they're crossing will collapse, killing everyone on it. Peter leaves the bus to go check on Sam just moments before the bridge collapses as Sam predicted, killing the remaining people on it. He later goes to memorial service for the victims where he encounters the mysterious William Bludworth, who warns him that Death doesn't like to be cheated, but Peter disregards his warning.
The next day, he goes with Candice to her gymnastics practice, where he witnesses her death. A devastated Peter returns to work, where he shares a drink with Sam, Molly Harper, Nathan Sears, and Olivia Castle. Afterwards, he learns about Isaac's death, and they all rush over to the Ming Yung Spa where they encounter Bludworth again. Bludworth explains that Death is still after the survivors and that if they wish to cheat Death, they must kill someone who was never meant to die on the bridge and claim their remaining lifespan.
After Nathan accidentally kills his co-worker Roy in a warehouse accident Peter, Molly, and Sam arrive. Peter deduces that he must have claimed Roy's remaining lifespan shortly before witnessing Dennis's death. Peter grows jealous that Molly was meant to survive the initial bridge collapse contrary to the rest of the group (especially Candice). He decided that Molly doesn't deserve to live more than the rest of the group.
Death[]
Peter later interrupts a date between Sam and Molly and attempts to kill Molly, but when Agent Jim Block arrives he ends up killing Block instead. Despite stealing Block's lifespan, he continues to pursue Molly to remove any witnesses. Just as he is about to stab Molly, Sam arrives and stabs him in the back with a large skewer, killing him and stealing Jim's lifespan.
Signs/Clues[]
- Sam placed the meat spit in an oven during his shift.
- During Sam's shift, the line cook nearly impales Sam with the meat spit and says that "could've been ugly".
- Candice, Peter's girlfriend, was impaled through the back by her spine during Sam's premonition.
- Peter is impaled with multiple bars in the premonition, just as he is in real life.
- The meat spit has multiple teeth.
- Seconds before his death, Peter whispers to Molly "Tell Candice I love her". Ironically, he dies seconds later, meaning that he can tell her himself.
- Peter's last name has the word FRIED in it, and a meat spit is used for frying meat.
- Before the North Bay bridge collapse, a fuel tank falls, collides with the bridge pillar base and sinks in the water. Peter died similarly in Sam's premonition, he falls, collides with the pillar base, and finally falls into the water.

- Peter is the first and only true killer throughout the whole franchise. He purposely killed Agent Block. Nathan isn't considered a killer, as it was unintentional and is truly an accident. Sam isn't considered a killer, as it was self-defense.
- Peter's surname, Friedkin, may be a reference to filmmaker William Friedkin, director of The Exorcist (1973).
- While Peter was having drinks with his fellow co-workers, there are model planes and cars in Sam's cubicle which hint the following disasters in the series that occur in each of the four previous films.
- It's interesting to note that, as a killer, Peter considers those who were never meant to die in North Bay Bridge to be unworthy of living, the complete inverse of what Death thinks.
