Quotes 

• Special Agent Alan Fahey : FBI, don't move. Hands up. I want to see some ID.

  John Reese : Well, which is it? You want my hands up, or you want to see ID?

• John Reese : [as Marshall Jennings]  Body armor? I don't think we'll be taking heavy fire with this group.

  Special Agent Alan Fahey : Look Jennings, I spend most of my 9 to 5 tethered to a desk. I've questioned a few embezzlers and some identity thieves. We're about to walk into a room with a killer.

  John Reese : And I'll be standing right behind you.

• Special Agent Alan Fahey : The question isn't who I am. It's who you are. I watched you all night. I can always spot an impostor. I spotted you. Are you like me?

  Harold Finch : You have no idea. You're an amateur at this.

• Special Agent Alan Fahey : We can't afford to sit around here with or without the deputy's help. I don't think we're on the trail of just a missing person here. I think Rollins is dead, and he may not be the only one.I think we're on the trail of a cold-blooded killer.

  John Reese : And you didn't want to share this earlier?

• Special Agent Alan Fahey : What gave me away? How did you know?

  Harold Finch : The needle spiked in between the interviews. When I wasn't watching. When you were resting on the table. You should keep an eye on that heart rate.

  Special Agent Alan Fahey : I knew you were too good at those interrogations. Who are you really?

  Harold Finch : I could ask you the same thing.

• Special Agent Alan Fahey : Now that Fahey won't get far, I think the mysterious Mr. Gull might be my next great challenge.

  Harold Finch : You'll never get off the island. By morning they'll come here looking for the real Alan Fahey.

  Special Agent Alan Fahey : And they'll find him. In the trunk of his car.

  Harold Finch : And what about you?

  Special Agent Alan Fahey : [Mimicking him]  And what about you? And what about you? And what about you? You asked the question and you're the answer. Your plane. You're gonna fly me out of here. You haven't outlived your usefulness.

  Harold Finch : You could never be me because I save lives. You take them.

  Special Agent Alan Fahey : No, I live those lives better than real people ever could. I follow them and watch them waste what they have. I do those identities justice. The things I've seen. The lives I've lived. One day I'll stop, when I find the person I'm meant to be.

  Harold Finch : [Disgusted]  What? People like you don't stop. You can rationalize it however you like. But you hurt people because you like it. Because you're sick! You're maladjusted and you need help.

• Deputy Erica Schmidt : I got a nor'easter touching down right now. I've got a population of 357 souls I've got to get off this island before I can't anymore. Chief of police is running the evacuation on the mainland. I'm the law left in the town with half its ass underwater.

  Special Agent Alan Fahey : This is a matter of federal importance. We're looking for this man.

  Deputy Erica Schmidt : Don't recognize him. But if he was a renter, he's probably been evacuated.

  [Turns to her radio] 

  John Reese : Mind if we at least make a few phone calls while we're here?

  Deputy Erica Schmidt : Sure. If the cell and land lines weren't down, the power wasn't out, and the emergency radio didn't pick today to crap out on me. Anything else?

  John Reese : Yeah. How's your coffee?

  Deputy Erica Schmidt : Hey, gents, you may have jurisdiction and authority here, but one thing you don't have is my cooperation. For now, mother nature takes priority.
