Quotes 

• Detective Lionel Fusco : [to Shaw]  Tell me why we're listening to the crazy chick who kidnapped Glasses.

  Root : [approaching Fusco from behind]  In your right pocket, you have eight-five cents. The change from your morning coffee run. In your apartment there's an old photo of your father at the Franklin Park Zoo taken when he was a child. He's feeding a lion cub. Do you know what that cub's name was?

  [Fusco shakes his head] 

  Root : Lionel. That's where your name came from. I promise... I'm here to help.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : [turning back to Shaw]  Just when I think life with you people couldn't get any weirder, one of you takes it to the next level.

• Therapist : Yeah, well, part of my job, Lionel, is dealing with cops who act tough and end up eating a bullet because of a cascade of untreated post traumatic symptoms. Now, you can hide your real feelings from everyone else, but with me, you need to get real.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Alright. This is a safe place, right? Doctor-Patient, confidential, all that, right?

  Therapist : Yes. Everything you say here is completely protected. Use this time to unburden yourself.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : [chuckles]  It wasn't a good shooting.

  Therapist : Well, I'm sure you might feel that way, but...

  Detective Lionel Fusco : [Interrupting]  it ain't got anything to do with feelings. You see, Jules shot an off duty rookie last year. Twenty four years old. Kid had a baby on the way. But good drug dealers can afford good lawyers, so Jules walked. I had been tracking him for weeks, just waiting to get the guy alone. And there he was, walking out of a bodega with not a care in the world. No protection either. He saw me. He knew why I was there. I could see it in his eyes. So I smiled at him... just before I put two in his chest.

  Therapist : You killed a man...

  Detective Lionel Fusco : [Interrupts]  No. He got the Devil's share.

  Therapist : The... what?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : That's what we call it when a guy like Jules gets his. it's the way the world evens things out. Guy got what he deserved. And you wanna know how I've been sleeping? Like a baby. But thanks for letting me unburden myself.

• Officer Patrick Simmons : Get it over with, will ya?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : That's just it. I could've been just like you, a bottom-feeder who turns on his own kind. For what? Money, power? I got lucky. I had a partner. She was good for me. For a lot of reasons. She reminded me that I could be good again too. i could be a good father, a good friend. A good cop. I'm not gonna let you undo all the good she did. Carter saved my life. She - she saved me from myself. Because she believed in me. And I'm not gonna throw that away on a piece of crap like you. Patrick Simmons, you're under arrest.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : Someone t-boned him then interrogated him while the car burned. Guys in the front might make it. Guy in the back may make a good bag of charcoal. Witnesses put our pal, the psychopathic vigilante, at the scene.

  Harold Finch : Which one?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : You mean both your stray dogs are off the leash? This was the handiwork of tall, dark and deranged. And I shudder to think what the other one's up to.

  Harold Finch : I have reason to believe that one or both of them are looking to track down and kill Simmons.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : We all want Simmons. Piece of crap killed my partner, then went after my kid. But the scorched earth campaign is only gonna make Simmons harder to find, not easier.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : [stuck in the backseat of a car with Root]  If I'd known about the carpooling arrangements, I would have driven separately.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : You sure the big guy's here?

  [Giant explosion] 

  Sameen Shaw : Pretty sure.

• Sameen Shaw : We got a problem.

  Harold Finch : You couldn't find Mr. Ransone?

  Sameen Shaw : We found what's left of him. Someone used him as an ashtray before putting a bullet through his head.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Reese has really gone off the reservation this time.

  Sameen Shaw : Nah, Reese doesn't even smoke.

• Yorke : [Hanging from the ceiling]  Take me down, you bitch! I told you everything I know.

  Yorke : [Fusco and Finch walk in] 

  Yorke : Hey! Hey, hey. Hey, guys, call the cops!

  Sameen Shaw : You wanna take a crack at him? My gun hand's cramping.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Guy's not looking so good. Did you break his legs?
