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] 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] All right. Let's go.

John Reese:
I'm not leaving.

Detective Lionel Fusco:
I wasn't talking about leaving.
