Jim Caviezel credited as playing...
John Reese
- Zoe Morgan: John. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out with that reporter Maxine.
- John Reese: I'll get over it. I was actually thinking we should spend a little more time together.
- Zoe Morgan: Is that so? What is it this time? More power players or cover-ups?
- John Reese: Not exactly. Zoe Morgan will you be my wife?
- Zoe Morgan: [Cut to the suburbs, JOhn and Zoe are posing as a married couple] Remember when you saved me from being tortured and killed by corporate hit-men? Consider us even.
- John Reese: That mean you don't want me to carry you across the threshold?
- Harold Finch: Hard to see how he had the money to move east, much less support a city lifestyle.
- John Reese: Maybe he met a reclusive billionaire.
- Harold Finch: In the event that he didn't, I made a few phone calls around Fort Wayne, claiming to be a genealogist working on a family tree. And I did uncover one record of interest.
- John Reese: And what's that?
- Harold Finch: His death certificate.
- Detective Joss Carter: We haven't had the pleasure of meeting. I'm Detective Carter.
- Zoe Morgan: Zoe. John's wife.
- John Reese: Long story.
- Harold Finch: Mr. Reese, they've got hostages, and there are two other armed men. I don't think you're gonna be able to simply walk through the front door.
- John Reese: [Bungee jumps onto the balcony] Wasn't planning on it.
- John Reese: Connie. I was wondering if I could talk to Graham
- Connie Wyler: He told me you helped him out. Didn't say how. But whatever you did...
- John Reese: You're welcome.
- Graham Wyler: See you're moving on.
- John Reese: Yep. Guy like me doesn't belong in the suburbs.
- John Reese: [Wyler has Vaughn at gunpoint] Let him go, Graham.
- Graham Wyler: I can't. This has to end.
- John Reese: If you pull that trigger, then Graham Wyler; the man you really are; dies with him.
- Graham Wyler: He can't come after my family again.
- John Reese: He won't. He'll spend the next three decades in prison. But if you do this, you'll be right there with him. What's Connie gonna do then?
- [Wyler holsters the gun]
- Chris Vaughn: I knew you didn't have it in you. You were always -
- [John hits him in the face]
- John Reese: The better man.
- Graham Wyler: Can't change what I've done.
- John Reese: The past is a difficult thing to outrun.
- Graham Wyler: Maybe it's time to stop running.
- John Reese: Wyler's due to meet Vaughn in an hour, Finch. What are we gonna do if he goes through with the job?
- Harold Finch: What do you suggest?
- John Reese: We take him out of the equation. He still has open warrants in Philly.
- Zoe Morgan: With Wyler serving jail time, there's not much Vaughn could do.
- Harold Finch: We'd risk breaking up his family. They might never forgive him. I know the prospect of a normal life seems remote to people like us, Mr. Reese. But Wyler still has a chance to preserve his.
- John Reese: Harder to tail someone in the suburbs than in the city.
- Harold Finch: I heard. Your man-in-the-suit routine doesn't exactly play. As it happens, there's a quaint three-bedroom that's just gone on the market across from the Wyler's home. You can move in tomorrow.
- John Reese: Move in?
- Harold Finch: You're gonna be neighbors. I also procured a new vehicle, an appropriate wardrobe, and a set of golf clubs. There is one element of your cover that you'll have to acquire on your own...
- [Cut to Reese and Zoe Morgan]
- John Reese: John "but if you do this you'll be right there with him". But if Wyler shoots the bad guy he'd be dead and wouldn't be in prison with Wyler.
