Quotes 

• Jesse Reese : Darkstrike? Who comes up with these names?

• [first lines] 

  Jesse Reese : You have the right to remain silent.

• [last lines] 

  Jesse Reese : You two were, uh...? I mean, worked together a long time?

  Helena Kyle : No, just the once. Seemed like we had everything in common. Should've been my first clue. If something seems too easy, it probably is.

  Jesse Reese : So, what, you're saying complicated's good?

  Helena Kyle : I'm saying it's not necessarily bad. So, you and the D.A. working a new case together, yet?

  Jesse Reese : No, no, not for a while. But it's just as well, really, um, there were issues.

  Helena Kyle : Mm. Reese, is she something to you?

  Jesse Reese : Yeah, yeah. She was a really bad blind date.

  Helena Kyle : Oh.

• Jesse Reese : [restraining a suspect]  Can I just ask you, do you have to do that?

  Helena Kyle : What?

  Jesse Reese : Beat the person 'till they bleed. There's a name for that; it's called excessive force.

• Jesse Reese : Why can't working with you ever be simple?

  Helena Kyle : There's nothing simple about... whatever it is we're doing.

  Jesse Reese : You know, it's only complicated because you make it that way. I mean, if you followed the rules like everyone else...

  Helena Kyle : Then bad guys would get away. Crimes would happen that could have been prevented. And innocent people would get hurt. Is that what you want?
