Quotes 

• Detective Lionel Fusco : Hey, I just got to the crime scene, and I'm not the only one. Feds decided to drop by too.

  John Reese : I'm sure you'll charm them, Lionel.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : I already tried. These suits aren't letting me within a mile of their investigation.

  Root : [Root appears]  Augusta King, Federal Bureau of Investigation.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Give me a break.

  Root : Lionel, you don't want to be uncooperative with a federal agent.

• Harold Finch : I'll be traveling to DC.

  John Reese : And we're not invited?

  Harold Finch : It's important that we not let Mr. Reed out of our sight. We can't risk losing another number. Detective Fusco has offered to accompany me.

  Sameen Shaw : This trip to Westchester, is this some kind of punishment?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : [Entering the library]  Got the car all packed. AC/DC or Dixie Chicks?

  Harold Finch : [to Shaw and Reese]  I believe I'm the one being punished.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : Portable package X-ray? What are you, gonna inspect some pipe bombs?

  Harold Finch : Most modern safes come equipped with a lead shield. However, the government has been remiss in updating their equipment. By placing this device on the safe's door, I can see the safe's internal mechanisms while I turn the dial.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Wait, now you wanna crack the safe?

  Harold Finch : Well, not just the safe, Detective. First, we have to break into the FBI's evidence lockup. Then we crack the safe.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : 'Cause nothing's ever easy with you, Finch.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : Good luck cracking that safe. Try not to give yourself cancer with your little X-ray machine.

• Peter Collier : You know, I've been studying you and your associates for some time. That's two ex-operatives, an NYPD detective.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Sorry, partner. I had to surrender. They were gonna kill the guard.

  Harold Finch : If you harm Detective Fusco...

  Peter Collier : Please. We both know you're not a man of violence. You help people, people who are about to be in a lot of trouble - Kruger, Sloan, Claypool, Wainwright. You knew something bad was about to happen to them before it even happened. Now, the fact that that's possible proves something I've speculated. That the government has a secret surveillance system that spies on us every hour of every day.

  Harold Finch : I'm not part of the government.

  Peter Collier : But you are protecting the system. And I think whatever was in that safe is gonna give me more information about the secret system. The documents, please.

  Harold Finch : Mr. Collier, you may find this hard to believe, but I sympathize with your cause. Just not your methods. If you jeopardize this system, you'll be placing all of us at risk.

  Peter Collier : At risk? We're already at war - a 24-hour surveillance state with drone assassinations, renditions, cyber-warfare. It's turnkey tyranny, and we're being kept in the dark, which is ironic, since the system is called Northern Lights.
