Quotes 

• John Reese : Finch, I'm closing in on the kidnapper's cell.

  [Bumps into Carter. She is also tracking a cell] 

  Officer Joss Carter : That's my guy.

  John Reese : Paying my guy.

• Officer Mike Laskey : You know, when they, uh, assigned me to you, they told me to play the dumb rookie, see what I could find out. But Simmons gave me the authority to pull your card anytime I want. What ya think, Jerry? Should I earn myself a new partner?

  Officer Joss Carter : You don't even know who you are yet, son. Do you? But you wanna play Billy Badass? You go right ahead. But I spent enough time with you to know you're afraid of me. That's why you have your idiot friend here for backup. I know you, Laskey. Just like I know Jerry back there is a lieutenant in Bronx Vice who paid for this bar with dirty cash from shaking down hookers. And I have the proof to put him away for it. Now I was gonna wait and arrest you two with everyone else. But if this is how you wanna play it, little man, guess I'll have to take you down right now.

  [Pulls out her cuffs] 

  Officer Joss Carter : You both can go easy or it can be hard.

  Jerry : [Pointing a gun]  They should've killed you, you stupid bit -

  [Carter shoots him. Turns to Laskey] 

  Officer Joss Carter : Put the gun down. Put it down!

  [Laskey does] 

  Officer Joss Carter : Sit down! Now we gotta figure this out.

  Officer Mike Laskey : Figure this out? You just killed him.

  Officer Joss Carter : No. You did.

  [Holds up his gun] 

  Officer Joss Carter : Registered to you in the state of New Jersey. All I gotta do is submit it for ballistics. But I'm not gonna do that. Not yet. You don't work for HR anymore, son. You work for me now.

• Officer Joss Carter : Busted, huh?

  John Reese : Finch and I have known about your side project for a while. From what we've seen, you've got enough to bring down half the organization. You could bust them, make deals to take down the rest.

  Officer Joss Carter : Special Agent Donnelly tried that. But HR rebuilt itself from ashes 'cause we didn't cut off the head. If we had, Cal might still be alive. I'm playing by different rules now. No deals. And I won't make a move until I can bring down the boss.

• Officer Joss Carter : John, one of these days, I'm going to shoot you.

  John Reese : I get that a lot.

• Officer Joss Carter : So you're having a problem with someone at work. Who?

  Officer Mike Laskey : You. I mean, what's going on? I'm supposed to have your back, but how can I help you if you don't even talk to me?

  Officer Joss Carter : I'm fine.

  Officer Mike Laskey : Like hell you are. With the secret phone calls in the night, ducking out in the middle of a shift, hush-hush meetings with some man in a suit. Who is he, anyway? 'Cause I don't think he's your boyfriend.

  Officer Joss Carter : Why are you so curious? Is it maybe because of this?

  [Holds up a picture of Laskey with HR] 

  Officer Joss Carter : I know, Laskey. I've known from the second your ass landed in my car

  Officer Mike Laskey : Do you have any idea what it's like?

  Officer Joss Carter : What what's like?

  Officer Mike Laskey : Riding around all day with an arrogant bitch who doesn't know her place. They spared your life, but you keep pushing. And now your pal in the suit is gonna pay the price.

  Officer Joss Carter : Trust me, he is not the one you should be worried about.
