Are you going to pay for your son's mistakes?
He paid for mine...

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Don't make a move unless things go bad.
And if things go bad?
Well, it was nice seeing you guys again.
Guys, guys! I have a loaded machine pistol in my hand and I have no idea what I'm doing!
Bottom line? This whole business needs a little Michael Westen.
Hello there, Michael.
Hey, Ma.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Well, I thought we should talk. I know that, uh, it wasn't easy while I was away.
Having you gone is something I've gotten used to. You know what was hard? Having an FBI agent in my house telling me that you're a monster. I still don't know what's going on.
I was chasing a man named Simon. He started off, years ago, as someone who did what I did. Something happened, he changed and he hurt people and a lot of things he did got blamed on me.
Now, how is that possible, Michael? If you weren't there?
I spent my entire career officially being nowhere. So it's not hard to pin things on someone whose job is to never have an alibi.
Well, there other things that he said, you blew up a bridge? You shot at police? You didn't do that?
Yeah, I did. I had to get Simon. He was going to hurt more people if I didn't stop him. So, I broke the law. I worked with bad people. I did it because I had to.
That's it? It's as simple as that?
[starting to tear up] I don't know... [pause] He laughed... When I caught Simon, he laughed. He said it was just a matter of time before I was just like him.
[hugging Michael] He's wrong, honey. That isn't the son I raised.

So when we find Jesse we're suppose to just, what, share him?
[as cover ID Mr Turner] That's what we learned in kindergarten.
[voice-over] First contact with the police is critical: it can mean the difference between the start of negotiations or the start of an armed assault.
[answers the phone] Fi.
Lucky you, Michael. You're sitting on the money. Nick has a floor safe under the carpet in the conference room. Just crack open that puppy and come on out with your hands up.
It won't be that easy, Fi. Sam and I are on the hook as accomplices now.
Seriously, Michael? You have to stop doing favors for Sam. Have you requested a getaway vehicle?
It's on the way.
Well, you're going to need a diversion, and judging from the police turnout it's going to have to be a big one.
Fi, if there ever was a time to pull out all the stops, this is it.
Michael, I never thought I'd hear you say those words. [hangs up and opens her trunk, speaking to the con-artist tied up in it] Move over. You're lying on my C4.
Good news. I think Kendra just found us. Grey sedan right behind you.
Do you think she's been sitting on this place?
She probably figured we'd have to bring the tape drive at some point. Which we did! Still think this is a dead end?
It is if she kills us.
KKendra
Why are you after me?
And here I was think it was the other way around. Why don't you come back down so we can have a nice little chat?
KKendra
A little chat with a guy who tried to grab me in an alley?
A couple of days ago you tried to kill me.
KKendra
Touché.
He seemed to really like us.
Hey, the guy is standing up for his community. It's pretty inspiring.
There's a fine line between inspiring and suicidal.
I say hit these dealers hard. Send them a message.
Guys, we don't even know who we're dealing with. Let's figure out who these guys are working with and --
Fine. Just promise there will be some hitting involved at some point.
I wish our phone conversations were as flirty.
She threatened to kill me.
I can do that.
[loading a van] Another bag? What, is this every explosive you own?
Ha! You don't know me very well.
[voice-over] Interrogating a hostile witness is like proposing marriage. You want to get it right the first try. So you don't settle until you find the perfect spot. You take special care to set the right ambiance and set the mood. And then you wait for the best moment to pop the question.
Fi, I've got an antenna on the roof.
Well, look what I got: a security camera.
Okay. Let's slowly and casually move away.
He might not have seen our approach from the -- [gets knocked down by an exploding building]
I think he saw us. I'm going to call 911. :911 Caller: 911, what's your emergency? Hello, 911. :Fiona: How very civic minded of you, Michael.
