Quotes 

• Hayden Price : Who the hell are you?

  John Reese : The night watch.

• Joss Carter : So, what's your story?

  John Reese : You first.

  Joss Carter : I'm following an HR lead. They wanna whack a Swedish antique dealer for screwing up their money laundering.

  John Reese : That's funny. I'm on a con man therapist who happens to have a Swedish antique dealer as a patient.

  Joss Carter : I'll pretend that makes sense.

• Harold Finch : During the therapy, I became attuned to the kind of questions that Hayden was asking. A color that's favorable to you - blue. The name of a childhood pet - Scout.

  John Reese : He was phishing; getting answers to your security questions.

  Harold Finch : My bank account was suddenly signed up for a recurring automatic donation to the nonprofit called "The American Cancer Coalition Fund".

  John Reese : I'd be willing the wager that Hayden's name is on that nonprofit.

  Harold Finch : So, unless he's moonlighting as a samaritan, I'd say we're dealing with a con artist and a very clever thief.

• John Reese : Finch, you ever notice how much of our job is like babysitting?

• John Reese : How bad is it?

  Hayden Price : They'll kill her. These people, for this much money?

  John Reese : So what are you gonna do to stop them?

  Hayden Price : I'm scum. I get it. But Natalie... My ultimate con, my final trick was gonna be actually turning into the guy that she fell in love with. I'll give it all away to save her life.

• Hayden Price : we'll work on your anxiety and paranoia gradually. See, Mr. Wren, hypnosis is merely relaxation combined with imagery. You experience it every night as you drift asleep, focus on a book, or miss your exit on the FDR. Ready?

  Harold Finch : I think so, yes.

  Hayden Price : Then let's begin. Please pick up the tablet beside you, and choose an image that speaks to your emotion.

  Harold Finch : [Finds a picture of a flock of birds]  Oh, this one.

  Hayden Price : I want you to close your eyes and form a mental picture of that image. Picture the birds, the field. Then one by one, picture them as they fly away. Focus on your breathing. One bird departs. And as each one goes, your relaxation increases and you continue to feel calmer and more at rest...

  John Reese : [In Finch's ear]  For 200 bucks an hour, Finch, I hope you get more than an expensive nap.
