Lou Mitchell
- Lou Mitchell: So you think, uh, you think I'll be able to come back?
- Harold Finch: Maybe. Eventually.
- Lou Mitchell: At my age, there's not much eventually left.
- Harold Finch: Mr. Mitchell, I believe that you may be in grave danger. Let me help you.
- Lou Mitchell: Yeah, cause when people need help, they think, "call the IRS".
- John Reese: You can trust me. I'm with...
- Lou Mitchell: Harold? Yeah, I figured. So I guess you're not really with the IRS, huh?
- John Reese: Is it that obvious?
- Darien Makris: All you had to do was lose, old man. So before you die, I'm gonna make you realize that you are a loser. And that's all you're ever gonna be. You like games, right, Lou? Huh?
- [Pulls out a gun, loads a single bullet]
- Darien Makris: Roulette's my favorite. It's just you versus the wheel. You may skate by for a spin or two. But in the end, the house always wins.
- Lou Mitchell: [Makris points the gun at Reese] I - I'll give you all the money back, just don't - just stop this. Just stop it
- Darien Makris: [Fires, no bullet] Oh, he's safe. For now.
- [Moves the gun to Leon]
- Leon Tao: Come on, man. You gotta save me. That's your thing!
- [Makris fires, again miss]
- Darien Makris: Not him either. The odds are getting worse.
- [Moves the Gun to Harold]
- Harold Finch: [to Lou] Sometimes your luck just runs out.
- [Reese springs into action, flips the table with one kick, takes out Makris' guys]
- Lou Mitchell: [Makris tries to shoot, his gun is empty] Hey, dumbass I cheated.
- [Holds up the bullet]
- Lou Mitchell: I made a promise, Harold. To Marilyn, right before she passed. She grabbed my arm. She knew what I was thinking. That - that maybe I'd, you know, join her. And she told me she didn't save my life, so I could throw it away.
- Harold Finch: And you haven't.
- Lou Mitchell: Laundering drug money? That's a living? And now to just run away? No. No, I'm taking back every dime I put in his pocket. Please. I don't want to die a loser.
- Harold Finch: Very well. Then if we're gonna do this, we're gonna do it right. I think you can take Makris for more than the 320,000. But to win big, you have to bet big. So I'm staking you. And you'd better be as good as you say you are.
