Quotes 

• Detective Lionel Fusco : [Finch calls him via an ear bud]  Easy on the volume there! No wonder Mr. Sunshine is always in a foul mood!

• John Reese : I can't have you coming clean, Lionel. I need you inside HR. Get close to them.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : There are cameras inside of 1PP. People will know that I've left with this guy. We're talking murder one.

  John Reese : Don't you get it? That's the point. You'll need your friends at HR to help you cover this up.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : I was just starting to enjoy being a good guy for a change.

  John Reese : You've done some nice work, Lionel. I'm sorry, but you're more useful inside.

• Davidson : Do you know why I'm so good at my job, Fusco? I can tell a dirty cop when I see one.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : You should try looking in the mirror.

  Davidson : You know, you may think you've gone clean, found God, Buddha, or some African shaman, but at the end of the day, your hands are still dirty. Always will be. You hear that?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : I don't hear nothing.

  Davidson : That's right. No sirens, no bullhorns. No one's coming to save you. No one cares. That guy The one who tells you things He used you, then let you rot like a piece of garbage. Might as well tell me who it is. At least you'll have the satisfaction of repaying the favor.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : You think you're the first person to put a gun to my head?

  Davidson : No. But I will be the last.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Yeah, maybe you will. You ever been shot? Craziest things go through your mind. Glad I put on clean underwear, hid that stash of porn. Sorry that your son had to find out that his old man was a dirty cop. Then you realize you're gonna die. You try to go down doing something good.

• Officer Patrick Simmons : Looks like you got yourself in a little trouble.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : It was an accident.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : Most accidents don't require a shovel.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Help me make this go away. I'll be indebted.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : You'll be a little bit more than indebted, my friend. You belong to HR now.

• Officer Patrick Simmons : To what do I owe the pleasure?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Smuggler by the name of Neil Vargas. You ever heard of him? Want to twist his arm a little bit, see if I can get a percentage of his scores. Thought maybe you might want to get in.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : I don't hear a peep from you for three months, then all of a sudden you show up with this new score. Hard to trust a guy whose buddies wind up in prison. You want to shake down this Vargas? You gotta be a good boy and ask permission. If this guy isn't already paid up with HR, you could have at it.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Who do I contact if I want to contact HR?

  Officer Patrick Simmons : You already have.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : [Reese kills Vargas' informant just before the informant shoots Fusco]  Cutting it kind of close, don't you think?

  John Reese : At least I'm not late.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : Let me guess, you need another favor.

  John Reese : Someone might be selling out an undercover narc to a smuggler named Vargas. Pay some of your dirty buddies in narcotics a visit.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Those guys don't exactly trust me anymore. I've gotten some good collars lately too. Even got a commendation...

  John Reese : Your ass got you that commendation...!
