Taraji P. Henson: Detective Jocelyn 'Joss' Carter

Quotes 

• Joss Carter : What are you doing about Fusco?

  John Reese : At the moment, nothing. I'm busy.

  Joss Carter : After all we've been through, I thought he was your friend.

  John Reese : I always thought he was your partner.

  Joss Carter : Not after what he just told me. Do you know what he's done? He deserves to be behind bars.

  John Reese : Listen, Carter, no one's ever looked at me as the moral benchmark. I guess you'll have to make that call yourself.

  Joss Carter : I'm a cop, okay? But it's Fusco. It's not as simple as that.

  John Reese : I always thought it was in your book.

• Harold Finch : I'm sorry for your loss, Detective.

  Joss Carter : [Door closes]  Finch, what do you need? I'm sorry for your loss, Detective. Yeah. Thanks. Just don't understand, with all the information you get, how we couldn't stop this in time.

  Harold Finch : It's a question that troubles me as well. I only wish I had an adequate answer. And I know this is not the best time, but...

  Joss Carter : You and John need some help. Are you kidding me? Cal is dead, and Fusco's being investigated by IAB!

  Harold Finch : I understand that you're upset, but we have a doctor in peril. I just need you to check on a few names.

  Joss Carter : No. No. This time, you're gonna do something for me.

  Harold Finch : Okay, Detective, what can I do for you?

  Joss Carter : You know that phone cloning thing you do? My turn.

• Joss Carter : Talk to me, Lionel. Why is IAB all of a sudden putting the screws to you?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : You know, I tried to come to you. In this very room. To tell you about past mistakes I've made. But you didn't want to hear it.

  Joss Carter : I'm listening now.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Just chickens coming home to roost. Bad things happen to people around me, Carter, so you should get out of here.

• Azarello : Well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. My favorite arresting officer. Looking good, Detective.

  Joss Carter : Skip it, Azarello. Look, you've been in jail for over a year. Why all of a sudden you talking to IAB about Fusco?

  Azarello : Maybe we got a code, Detective. Maybe Fusco violated it. Maybe the question should be why you're just now bringing up your partner's past? It's pretty colorful. I thought Fusco had some dirty pictures of you or something.

  Joss Carter : [Ignores this]  Two dead cops. Two missing. Is this HR's idea of a comeback?

  Azarello : Secrets are hard to bury. And sometimes bodies have a way of showing up.

  Joss Carter : Tell you what. You help me out, I'll talk to the DA. Maybe he shaves some time off for good behavior, huh?

  Azarello : You got a nice smile, you know that? But you're a little late to the deal-making party, Detective. If you'll excuse me, I got a date with a sock.
