Quotes 

• Uniform : NYPD! Who called 911?

  Dr. Richard Nelson : Me. I called it in. I want to report a murder.

  Uniform : Murder? What are you talking about, buddy? Who was murdered?

  Dr. Richard Nelson : Me!

• John Reese : Did you tell Brandon Boyd that a drug trial was about to fail?

  Dr. Richard Nelson : What? I don't know. Maybe at the club.

  John Reese : Well, he turned around and used that information to bet against Philia stock, made $500 million.

  Dr. Richard Nelson : Son of a bitch. $1/2 billion?

  John Reese : Off your tip. You're the leak, Doc.

  Dr. Richard Nelson : There's an investigation?

  John Reese : They don't know the insider yet. I'm guessing VAC Capital plans to keep it that way.

  Dr. Richard Nelson : Instead they killed me?

  John Reese : You're the liability. You had to go.

  Dr. Richard Nelson : I'm a doctor. People ask me things all the time, advice. You know, that drug and this diet and - Oh it's just an excuse. What I did was wrong, and now I'm a dead man. All because I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

  John Reese : You made a mistake. That doesn't mean that you have to die.

• John Reese : I was supposed to save you, but I was too late. You've ingested polonium, Doctor. You're dying.

  Dr. Richard Nelson : This is insane. How do - who are you?

  John Reese : Nosebleeds, jaundice, hair falling out. It's radiation poisoning.

  Dr. Richard Nelson : I'm aware how radiation affects the body, but how do you know all this?

  John Reese : You were poisoned a few hours ago, which means, in less than 24 hours, you will be dead. I'm sorry, Doctor.

  Dr. Richard Nelson : I-I don't understand. How - Who would want me dead?

  John Reese : You would know better than I. Look, you can stay there and die in that bed, or you can get up and help me find the bastard who murdered you.

• Dr. Richard Nelson : I've done some good things, some bad. I've managed to ruin my life, my reputation. But I don't deserve to die. And the SEC will bring your firm down.

  Vincent Cochran : Unfortunately, Doctor, the SEC investigation will die with you.

  Dr. Richard Nelson : Oh, yeah. I think you mean "us". Uh - your nose is bleeding. You have nine billion dollars, but you only have 24 hours to spend it. I hope you invest it wisely.
