Quotes 

• Jeremy Watkins : Do something.

  John Reese : SPOILER: You framed your own wife for murder. You deceived me to kill your own husband. I'm in the business of stopping bad things from happening. I'm not so sure what's about to happen is a bad thing.

• Vanessa Watkins : Have you ever had to start over because someone was trying to kill you?

  John Reese : You could say that.

• Harold Finch : [At the vet with Bear]  He won't eat. He sleeps all day. When he's not throwing up.

  Dr. Rachel Jensen : Have you changed his food?

  John Reese : Just the same high-performance kibble, plus the occasional table scrap.

  Harold Finch : [Looks at Reese]  I never feed him from the table.

• Harold Finch : [Last lines]  Mr. Reese, how's Ms. Watkins?

  John Reese : Don't know. But you might want to call the Coast Guard. And you owe Shaw 100 bucks.

• John Reese : What's a prosecutor going to do with a kilogram of cocaine?

  Sameen Shaw : Something illegal?

• John Reese : Bear likes his new vet.

• Joss Carter : Vanessa told me she didn't kill her husband.

  John Reese : Do you think she's innocent?

  Joss Carter : I don't know. But in that moment, I thought she was telling the truth.

  John Reese : I guess the former prosecutor doesn't trust the system, then.

  Joss Carter : Think I'd be standing here in a uniform if the system always worked?

• Harold Finch : We have a new number, Mr. Reese. Vanessa Watkins. Former prosecutor with the District Attorney's office. She's put away some of the city's worst violent offenders, rapists, murderers, drug traffickers. Married to Jeremy Watkins, the defense attorney.

  John Reese : A prosecutor married to a defense attorney?

  Harold Finch : Cats and dogs, Mr. Reese.

• John Reese : Vanessa would rather jump off a building than have Cameron take her in.

  Sameen Shaw : Bad guys always run.

  Harold Finch : As do the so-called good guys, when the detective pursuing them wants them dead or alive.

• Sameen Shaw : People on the run always make the same mistake, contact someone they know.

  John Reese : Vanessa was with a friend when she was arrested.

  Harold Finch : Nicole Spencer. And Nicole is hosting a book club today, in spite of Vanessa's predicament.

  Sameen Shaw : [Looks at the group page]  Any of these ladies not gonna make it?

  Harold Finch : This Mindy is a maybe.

  Sameen Shaw : Maybe means no. I'll go as her friend.

  Harold Finch : Are you sure you'll fit in?

  Sameen Shaw : [Glares at him]  Of course. I have a secret weapon.

• John Reese : I just found the witness against Vanessa, Scott Rawlins.

  Harold Finch : Perhaps he dumped the gun that killed Jeremy. Were you able to ask him about the planted evidence?

  John Reese : No, because someone just planted evidence on him. Finch, the cops just arrested Scott Rawlins for possession with intent to sell. Had a brick of cocaine identical to the one Reginald gave Vanessa.

  Harold Finch : She planted drugs on the witness against her to discredit him.

  John Reese : Exactly what I would have done.

• Vanessa Watkins : What the hell is going on? Who are you people?

  Harold Finch : As of this moment, Ms. Watkins, we are your judge and jury. You're here to make your argument.

  Vanessa Watkins : I can name at least three felonies you're committing. Kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, coercion! Why should I make my argument to you?

  John Reese : Because if we decide that you're innocent of your husband's murder, we can provide you with an alternate identity and a fresh start in a new city. If you're guilty, we turn you over to the NYPD.
