Quotes 

• 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.

• Psychiatrist : I've been working with the survivors of the ferry bombing earlier this year. Their trauma is similar to yours. More extreme, of course. Many of them experience a sense of responsibility for what happened.

  Harold Finch : Survivor's guilt. I'm familiar.

  Psychiatrist : Well, then you're also familiar with what I'm about to say next - that you think your friend's death was your fault. Otherwise, you'd have to face a very painful truth.

  Harold Finch : Which is what?

  Psychiatrist : That you are not God. You don't control who lives or dies. That powerlessness also means that your friend's death is not your fault. I assure you, Mr. Wren, in time, the guilt you feel will pass.

  Harold Finch : Let me ask you a question then. Does survivor's guilt pass when everything that has happened actually is, in fact, your fault?

• Sameen Shaw : We should be going after Simmons. Reese got his location.

  Harold Finch : Sometimes you have to make choices, Ms. Shaw. We've already lost a friend. I don't intend to lose another - not tonight.

  Sameen Shaw : I can't believe we're gonna let him get away.

  Root : The machine never said Reese was the only one planning to kill Simmons.

• Harold Finch : Did you see Reese?

  Sameen Shaw : Gone by the time I got here.

  Harold Finch : We have to stop him.

  Sameen Shaw : Why? One less dirty cop-killing cop sounds good to me.

  Harold Finch : Setting aside your somewhat binary moral compass, Ms. Shaw, you should know that Mr. Reese's injuries are life-threatening.

  Sameen Shaw : All right, Harold. We'll play it your way. But if Reese doesn't wanna be found, our only way of tracking him is by finding Simmons ourselves.

• 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.
