Quotes 

• Harold Finch : [after the baby was found playing with a grenade]  I told you to move your arsenal!

  John Reese : I was going to...

  Harold Finch : When? After the whole place was blown up? You know how I feel about guns! This really isn't working... one of us always being here - minding the baby!

  John Reese : Well, you're the one who stole her...

  Harold Finch : Thanks for reminding me of that!

• John Reese : How could you let her go?

  Harold Finch : I didn't... she knocked down the books and walked off...

  John Reese : She can't walk, Finch!

• John Reese : Uh-oh. Amber alert. "Baby kidnapped from St. Raymond's clinic last night. Suspect is a short man with mousy hair and thick glasses". That's not very flattering, Finch, but better than the picture.

  [There's a very bad picture of Finch] 

  Harold Finch : It's no wonder they never catch anybody with these things.

• Harold Finch : [Changing the baby]  This flap here, that flap there, see? Neat and simple.

  John Reese : I see your time at MIT wasn't wasted.

• Harold Finch : Oh, excellent. The accountants at the clinic have coughed up the tax ID numbers of their donor. Nothing like a fear of the IRS to produce results. Tax ID belongs to Petrosian Construction. Company owned by Adnan Petrosian. And if we dive into that swamp of indiscretion known as social media, we will learn that Adnan Petrosian has been married to Nicola for more than 20 years. They have one son Bradley, who's taking a master's in finance at NYU.

  John Reese : [Holds up Leila to a picture of Adnan and Bradley]  Dadda? Or dadda?

  Harold Finch : Be serious, Mr. Reese.

• Carl Elias : John, it's good to see you again. So tell me, did you fall out with your boss? Are you looking for a job?

  John Reese : I'm looking for help.

  Carl Elias : From me? Why would I help you?

  John Reese : I saved your life.

  Carl Elias : You did, didn't you? But you also broke up a little family reunion that I had planned. That was you, wasn't it?

  [John is silent] 

  Carl Elias : Honest to a fault. What's this about?

  John Reese : Someone kidnapped a child, murdered her mother. Just like Moretti murdered your mother, stole your childhood.

  Carl Elias : I survived.

  John Reese : This child won't. She's six months old, a baby. I know you're aiming to take over this city, but to control it, you need rules. When people start targeting children, there are no rules... no winners!

• Detective Joss Carter : You brought her with you? Every cop in that city is looking for that kid.

  John Reese : I'm teaching her to go undercover. She's a natural.

• Harold Finch : [Leila has been taken]  So no one knows where she is.

  John Reese : Not no one. There is someone who knows the underworld, the soldiers, the gangs, the syndicates.

  Harold Finch : Come on, you're not serious.

  John Reese : You still have that burner phone?

  Harold Finch : No, we can't use it.

  John Reese : Leila is in the hands of men who won't hesitate to kill her if things go bad.

  Harold Finch : It's still too risky.

  John Reese : I'm all out of moves, Finch. Risk is all I've got left.

• Detective Joss Carter : Don't tell me you're here for Moretti. How did you know he was being released?

  [John gives her a look] 

  Detective Joss Carter : Should have guessed. Whenever you show up, trouble's just around the corner.

  John Reese : What's your plan, Carter?

  Detective Joss Carter : I got authority to offer Moretti protection. In exchange, he tells us how to get New York's public enemy number one. His own son: Elias.

• John Reese : Bradley Petrosian has been a good student. Hasn't phoned anyone, hasn't spoken to any suspicious characters.

  Harold Finch : So are we barking up the wrong tree?

  John Reese : Maybe. Hang on. He's meeting someone.

  [Watches Bradley greet a man - with a kiss] 

  John Reese : Finch You were right about the wrong tree.

  Harold Finch : What?

  John Reese : I don't think Bradley Petrosian was sleeping with Claudia Cruz. His tastes run in the other direction.

• John Reese : All right. You win.

  Carl Elias : We both win, John. Where's Moretti?

  John Reese : What guarantee do I have?

  Carl Elias : You don't.

  John Reese : 1465 Jefferson... Queens.

  Carl Elias : Thank you, John. You were right. I would never harm a child. But then, I knew you wouldn't either.

• John Reese : Be nice to have a child. Children. Think that'll ever happen?

  Harold Finch : Probably not. Our line of work. The trouble with children, you never know how they're gonna turn out.

• John Reese : Hey, Finch. Got eyes on the Petrosians, getting ears. These guys have serious money, Finch. You probably go to the same country club.

• John Reese : ...hope you gave her something to eat - and not just your hand-me-downs.

  Harold Finch : Chicken and prunes... they're her favourites.

  John Reese : Sounds... disgusting.

• Novak : Stop, I have the baby! I said stop!

  John Reese : Put the bag down.

  Novak : No, you'll just shoot me.

  John Reese : You're right.

  [shoots him]
