Detective Lionel Fusco
- John Reese: Hello, Lionel. Finch send you?
- Detective Lionel Fusco: He's worried about you. Hell, we all are.
- John Reese: How'd you find me?
- Detective Lionel Fusco: What do you think I won my badge in a poker game? Alright, Glasses helped a little.
- John Reese: When I said "Drink", I didn't mean club soda. Finch appoint you to be my designated driver too?
- Detective Lionel Fusco: No, smart guy. I'm two years sober.
- John Reese: Why?
- Detective Lionel Fusco: Because back when I was doing a lot of stupid things, drinking was one of them. And then this jackass in a suit showed up on my backseat and forced me at gunpoint to help him and take a look at who I was. Why'd I quit drinking? You. Don't let it go to your head.
- John Reese: Go home, Detective.
- [Fusco follows him to the bar]
- John Reese: Lionel...
- Detective Lionel Fusco: I heard you. You know what? This is a public place. I've got just as much right to be here as you.
- John Reese: Fine. But if you're gonna sit here, you're gonna drink and not talk. You understand?
- Detective Lionel Fusco: Fine by me.
- John Reese: [to the bartender] Whiskey. Double.
- Detective Lionel Fusco: Bourbon and soda. Hold the bourbon.
- Detective Lionel Fusco: What do you think, you're the only one that's hurting? My partner got shot. So tell me how hiding out in your old man's watering hole is gonna fix it.I saw the sign for the army base about five miles back. I thought maybe this was where you were stationed. Until I saw the picture.
- [Points to a photo above the bar]
- Detective Lionel Fusco: And the resemblance.
- John Reese: My dad was here before he was deployed to Vietnam. Did four tours. He was a bona fide war hero.
- Detective Lionel Fusco: Was he killed in action?
- John Reese: No. At the refinery where he worked. Hadn't even been home two months.
- Detective Lionel Fusco: That's rough. But what's that have to do with what happened to Carter?
- John Reese: Nothing. Just proves that no matter what we do or don't do in this world, bad things are still gonna happen. It's pointless. Irrelevant.
- Detective Lionel Fusco: How can you say that? You saved lots of people, including me. You're saying that was pointless?
- [Reese is silent]
- Detective Lionel Fusco: All right. Let's go.
- John Reese: I'm not leaving.
- Detective Lionel Fusco: I wasn't talking about leaving.
