Alex quotes from The Forgotten

Alex

:[explaining who the Forgotten Network are] They're my team. They're the people that helped me to find you and all the others. We figure out where they came from, what their stories are so their families can know, so the world can know, too. We have regular jobs most of the time, but this work, this mission, it's only just beginning. There's so much more to do, so many people who need our help. It defines us, compels us. Because it doesn't just tell us who they are, it tells us who we are. I guess most of all, they're my friends.

Alex

What?

Det. Russell

Nothing... I wish you could come with us. You were always good under pressure.

Alex

I miss it too. I... This is what I do now

Walter

Hey Alex, about the other day... I need this, you know. I just do.

Alex

I know the feeling.

Walter

So we're cool?

Alex

Walter, if you tried to quit I would come after you.

Alex

Russell thinks Lee's brother was involved in the murder.

Walter

Yeah, but why would he kill his own sister?

Alex

Good question. He's four years older, they don't live together, it doesn't even seem that their lives intersect.

Candace

Yeah, but people has all kinds of baggage when it comes to siblings.

Candace

That was a general statement, I love my sister.

Alex

Well, Lindsay knows Northwestern pretty well, maybe she can help.

Det. Russell

You know, I'm sure she can.

Alex

What?

Det. Russell

:[embarrassed] Nothing.

Alex

Nothing? I thought you liked Lindsay.

Det. Russell

I think Lindsay is fine.

Alex

You know what I think? I think maybe you're a little jealous.

Henry and I got to be pretty close. I just wish there was more I could've done. He was in here every day. He was calm at first but then-

Alex

The longer his daughter was missing the more agitated he got. He didn't believe you when you said your hands were tied. He didn't understand how you didn't have the same urgency he did or why you couldn't sense his pain. When he realized you couldn't help him he decided to go out on his own.

How did you know that?

Alex

Because that is I said the day my daughter Lucy was kidnapped. She was my obsession. I was willing to do anything, go anywhere, trust anyone... I had to find her.

And did you?

Alex

Grace!

Det. Russell

How do you know?

Alex

I did it myself for six months after I left the force. Chasing after leads, running into the dark.

Det. Russell

Lucy? Your daughter?

Det. Russell

This is the first time you mention what you did when you were gone. :[pauses] Why all the secrecy? I was your partner, Alex, I know how hard it was for you.

Alex

Do you remember the guy I became after Lucy was kidnapped?

Det. Russell

You mean the guy Chicago P.D. decided to ease into a half pension so he wouldn't screw anything else up? That guy is kindda hard to forget.

Alex

Well, let's just say I got worse before I got better.

Alex

Greta?

Hi

Alex

I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your help. It was kind of a messy situation but I think it's going to be OK.

You found her?

Alex

We did.

Good.

Alex

And I'll find our daughter, too.

Walter

Where are you going?

Alex

Scene of the crime. I want to know what Jane Doe was doing at that warehouse.

Walter

Old habits die hard for cops, huh?

[voiceover] I thought getting a sun tattoo might brighten my mood, but... you can't paint over anguish. You have to swallow it, own it, then put it behind you and move on. And eventually, that's what I did.

Alex

Did BugZilla ever tell you if they saw anything in the woods?

Tyler

I sent her a message, and she replied. She's willing to meet.

Walter

How do you know it's a 'she'?

Maxine

There are male ladybugs?

Walter

It's sad and confusing for them, but they do exist.
