I don't know, Finch. We could let the trash take out the trash...
I know they encouraged a certain moral flexibility when you worked at the CIA, but I like to think we're reaching for a higher standard.

I don't know, Finch. We could let the trash take out the trash...
I know they encouraged a certain moral flexibility when you worked at the CIA, but I like to think we're reaching for a higher standard.
Did you forget to set your alarm?
I had my yoga class.
Well, I hope you've gotten in touch with your chi.
Shouldn't we call for backup?
You are my backup.
I am the evolution of organized crime.
You two think you're safe because there's just one of me, that I'm weak and that you're strong. That's not strength. That's weakness. Look at you, a bunch of jealous idiots. Liars, betraying each other. I don't need that. I get my strength from being alone, and that's why I'm gonna destroy all of you.

He killed his friend and shot me in the back, I wasn't thinking of protecting him

Who are you?
I was the guy who left her behind, because I thought she deserved someone better than me. I thought she deserved someone who would look after her, be there for her. I thought she deserved someone like you. So, I don't know. I was hoping you could tell me.
Tell you what?
What am I supposed to be, now that she's gone? When you find that one person who connects you to the world, you become someone different. Someone better. When that person's taken from you, what do you become then?
There are things you can do, detective, and things you can't. And that's where I come in.
What will you do, Mr. Reese?
Show him what a real monster looks like.
If I were to speculate from your labored breathing.
I lost her.
That would be it.
Once we become predictable, we become vulnerable.
