Quotes 

• Harold Finch : A woman sets a car on fire and attacks a drug shipment wearing a gas mask? Who does that remind you of Mr. Reese?

  Sameen Shaw : [Enters, Reese and Finch stare at her]  What are you guys looking at? All right, you're being weird.

  John Reese : This your handiwork?

  [Gestures to the video] 

  Sameen Shaw : I guess she does know her way around a 37 mil.

  Harold Finch : Ms. Shaw, you know something about this?

  Sameen Shaw : I know someone needed firepower. Reese had plenty, so I made a donation on his behalf.

  John Reese : [Looks at the video again]  Wait. That's my grenade launcher?

  Harold Finch : Oh, my God, that's Detective Carter, isn't it?

  [Shaw looks at him] 

  Harold Finch : Your social circle isn't terribly wide.

• John Reese : You two get eyes on every one of those Numbers.

  Sameen Shaw : And how exactly can we be 40 places at once?

  John Reese : I don't care. If they find out Carter's behind this, only one number's coming up - hers.

• John Reese : Finch, you doing a little spring cleaning?

  Harold Finch : I wish I was. I received numbers this morning. 38 of them, to be precise.

  John Reese : Maybe the Machine blew a belt or something.

  Harold Finch : It's not a lawnmower, Mr. Reese.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : Nice badge. You wanna give me a warning next time you do something like that?

  John Reese : But that would ruin the surprise.

• Joss Carter : Tell me you didn't use the front door.

  John Reese : I never do.

• John Reese : [thanks to Shaw, realizes an important detail in the video about a mysterious attacker]  Wait, is that my grenade launcher?

• John Reese : Joss? Where are you?

  Joss Carter : I can't tell you that. But I know exactly where you are. Thought you promised to keep your distance.

  John Reese : That was before I knew you were starting a war. We know about Quinn and what he did to Cal.

  Joss Carter : Then you know why he can't get away with it.

  John Reese : Take it from me. Revenge isn't the answer. Tell me where you are. Please just let me help you.

  Joss Carter : You once asked me to trust you to do what needed to be done. Now I'm asking the same of you.

• John Reese : HR won't go down without a fight. If you get in over your head, give me a call.

  Joss Carter : With the way you guys keep tabs on me, how much trouble can I get in?

• John Reese : Where's Taylor?

  Joss Carter : Somewhere safe.

  John Reese : Any reason he wouldn't be safe here? Like your off-the-books pursuit of HR?

  Joss Carter : Everyone needs a hobby.

  John Reese : Most hobbies don't involve dirty cops staked outside your apartment. If you want, I can take care of him for you.

  Joss Carter : I'd appreciate it if you left him alone. Respectfully, I'd appreciate it if you left me alone for a while too.

  John Reese : Now's not the time to fly solo, Carter.

  Joss Carter : Don't get me wrong, John. I appreciate everything you've done for me and the city. But in the eyes of the law, you're still a criminal. And HR already knows we work together. And if they could prove it... No, I'm sorry. I gotta finish this alone.

• Harold Finch : While I haven't decoded all the numbers, there does appear to be a common thread.

  John Reese : They're all cops.

  Harold Finch : Four of them are known members of HR, leaving a high probability that the rest may be as well.

  John Reese : 3 dozen members of HR, all about to commit a violent crime?

  Harold Finch : Or they've been targeted, and HR is under siege. Things are about to get chaotic, Mr. Reese. I've already contacted Ms. Shaw to enlist her assistance.

  John Reese : I'll see if Fusco's heard any rumblings around the Eighth of an HR conflict.

  Harold Finch : If we could locate the source of the threat, perhaps we could defuse the situation before it escalates.

  John Reese : Perhaps. Meantime, you might want to get Bear here fitted for a vest.

  Harold Finch : Vest?

  John Reese : Not like yours, Finch. Canine ballistic. For when things get chaotic.

• Harold Finch : While you were looking for Detective Carter, I received more numbers. It appears that HR has responded to the Russian threat in kind.

  John Reese : Guess it was only a matter of time until this escalated into an all-out war.

  Harold Finch : If you'll forgive my gallows humor, I'll put my money on HR.

  John Reese : Why do you say that?

  Harold Finch : Because they have something on their side that the Russians don't, Mr. Reese. The law.
