Quotes 

• Zoe Morgan : John. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out with that reporter Maxine.

  John Reese : I'll get over it. I was actually thinking we should spend a little more time together.

  Zoe Morgan : Is that so? What is it this time? More power players or cover-ups?

  John Reese : Not exactly. Zoe Morgan will you be my wife?

  Zoe Morgan : [Cut to the suburbs, JOhn and Zoe are posing as a married couple]  Remember when you saved me from being tortured and killed by corporate hit-men? Consider us even.

  John Reese : That mean you don't want me to carry you across the threshold?

• Detective Joss Carter : We haven't had the pleasure of meeting. I'm Detective Carter.

  Zoe Morgan : Zoe. John's wife.

  John Reese : Long story.

• Harold Finch : Hard to see how he had the money to move east, much less support a city lifestyle.

  John Reese : Maybe he met a reclusive billionaire.

  Harold Finch : In the event that he didn't, I made a few phone calls around Fort Wayne, claiming to be a genealogist working on a family tree. And I did uncover one record of interest.

  John Reese : And what's that?

  Harold Finch : His death certificate.

• Harold Finch : Mr. Reese, they've got hostages, and there are two other armed men. I don't think you're gonna be able to simply walk through the front door.

  John Reese : [Bungee jumps onto the balcony]  Wasn't planning on it.

• John Reese : Connie. I was wondering if I could talk to Graham

  Connie Wyler : He told me you helped him out. Didn't say how. But whatever you did...

  John Reese : You're welcome.

  Graham Wyler : See you're moving on.

  John Reese : Yep. Guy like me doesn't belong in the suburbs.

• John Reese : [Wyler has Vaughn at gunpoint]  Let him go, Graham.

  Graham Wyler : I can't. This has to end.

  John Reese : If you pull that trigger, then Graham Wyler; the man you really are; dies with him.

  Graham Wyler : He can't come after my family again.

  John Reese : He won't. He'll spend the next three decades in prison. But if you do this, you'll be right there with him. What's Connie gonna do then?

  [Wyler holsters the gun] 

  Chris Vaughn : I knew you didn't have it in you. You were always -

  [John hits him in the face] 

  John Reese : The better man.

• Graham Wyler : Can't change what I've done.

  John Reese : The past is a difficult thing to outrun.

  Graham Wyler : Maybe it's time to stop running.

• John Reese : Harder to tail someone in the suburbs than in the city.

  Harold Finch : I heard. Your man-in-the-suit routine doesn't exactly play. As it happens, there's a quaint three-bedroom that's just gone on the market across from the Wyler's home. You can move in tomorrow.

  John Reese : Move in?

  Harold Finch : You're gonna be neighbors. I also procured a new vehicle, an appropriate wardrobe, and a set of golf clubs. There is one element of your cover that you'll have to acquire on your own...

  [Cut to Reese and Zoe Morgan] 

• John Reese : Wyler's due to meet Vaughn in an hour, Finch. What are we gonna do if he goes through with the job?

  Harold Finch : What do you suggest?

  John Reese : We take him out of the equation. He still has open warrants in Philly.

  Zoe Morgan : With Wyler serving jail time, there's not much Vaughn could do.

  Harold Finch : We'd risk breaking up his family. They might never forgive him. I know the prospect of a normal life seems remote to people like us, Mr. Reese. But Wyler still has a chance to preserve his.
