Quotes 

• Detective Lionel Fusco : At first, I thought I was helping to clean up the streets. Who's gonna miss some drug money from a lowlife dealer? Then it became who's gonna miss the dealer.

• Joss Carter : Talk to me, Lionel. Why is IAB all of a sudden putting the screws to you?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : You know, I tried to come to you. In this very room. To tell you about past mistakes I've made. But you didn't want to hear it.

  Joss Carter : I'm listening now.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Just chickens coming home to roost. Bad things happen to people around me, Carter, so you should get out of here.

• Detective Lionel Fusco : I know you were behind Beecher's murder. You're not gonna get away with this.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : Tell me, Fusco, how is it everybody around you winds up getting killed? Starting to look suspicious.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : You're gonna pay for this. I'm gonna take you down.

  Officer Patrick Simmons : You got a bad habit of forgetting who your friends are. Of all your old pals who got locked up or went missing, and you're the only one who got to walk away? Did you honestly think that was because you were so smart?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : What are you talking about?

  Officer Patrick Simmons : Protection. The kind you don't have anymore. See, I hear things. IAB, they're looking at your old pal Azarello on at least a dozen old murder counts. That should be interesting. Past has a way of coming back to haunt you. And by the time I'm done with you, Lionel, you're gonna wish you were in the ground with Beecher.

• Detective James Stills : [At a bar]  Easy there, big dog. That's enough for one night. Let's get you home.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : I can't go home. She threw me out.

  Detective James Stills : Ah, comes with the job. Cop's wife. She'll come around.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Not this time. She had a lawyer drop papers on me.

  Detective James Stills : Serious? Sorry to hear about that.

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Yeah, Jimmy, she - she wants full custody of my son.

  Detective James Stills : Hmm. Come on, Lionel. You come home. You stay at my place tonight. The kids will love waking up tomorrow morning, jumping on your head. I'll have Vera cook up some hotcakes, banana-chocolate chip. Throw some Aspirin in the batter.

• Detective Joseph Soriano : You made a call from Oyster Bay to your home the very night that Stills went missing. Any reason you were in Oyster Bay at 2:00 AM on a Thursday?

  Detective Lionel Fusco : Thinking about retiring out there. Wanted to look at some land.

  Detective Joseph Soriano : You take soil samples? Domain awareness, my friend. Satellites, they're changing the world. You pick a time and place, we send you a photo of the ass hairs on a frog, or in this case, disturbed plots of earth in Oyster Bay. Which of the four is it, Detective?

  [Fusco is silent] 

  Detective Joseph Soriano : I got two dozen unis gathering shovels, a backhoe, and cadaver dogs. Come sunup, we're gonna go on a little treasure hunt. Make it easy on yourself. Just tell me where you buried Stills.

  [Fusco still is silent] 

  Detective Joseph Soriano : I know you killed him, just like those lowlifes. You're a dirty cop, and come morning, I'm gonna dig up your sins.
