Robert John Burke: Officer Patrick Simmons

Quotes 

• Detective Lionel Fusco : I got a real job, you know.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : HR is your real job, Fusco. I need some intel on that guy who's been stirring things up around town. Tall guy with a suit. Likes shooting people in the kneecaps.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : I thought he was yesterday's news.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : Not to the feds. They set up a new task force trying to locate him. We wanna know everything they do, see if we can get to him ourselves.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Why, you looking to put him on the payroll?

  Officer Patrick Simmons : You ask a lot of questions, Fusco.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : I got an inquisitive mind.

• Harold Finch : I'd like to talk to you about your organization. The one commonly referred to as HR. It's come to my attention that HR has been paid a large sum of money to ignore any criminal activities involving a man named Elias.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : Really. And how exactly did this come to your attention?

  Harold Finch : notice things, Officer. Things the rest of the world ignores. And I've noticed things about Elias that I believe you've overlooked.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : I doubt that. I'm a pretty observant guy myself.

  Harold Finch : You think Elias stands for a return to the way things used to be. A firm hand on the reins of organized crime. But he also stands for other things.

  Harold Finch : This is Elias's surveillance of HR police officers and their families. You're in bed with the devil. This man will go to any length to get what he wants, including kidnapping children. Detective Carter's son is only his most recent victim.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : I didn't hear anything about that.

  Harold Finch : Look, I recognize, Officer, that I'm placing myself in danger by sitting here with you. I need you to understand that you're placing your family in danger by doing business with Elias.
