John Reese:
I am looking for a friend of mine. I have a source that says you might be able to help. [Shows him a picture of Root and Finch]

Leon Tao:
I have never seen either of them.

John Reese:
Take another look. My source is never wrong.

Leon Tao:
I've never seen either of them before in my life understand?

John Reese:
You're not lying. So why the hell am I here?

Leon Tao:
I have no idea, dude, truly.

John Reese:
[Looks around the bar, notices several armed patrons] You gotta be kidding me. [Goes back to Leon] Let me guess, you're in some kind of trouble A life-threatening kind. I can't believe it. I am the contingency, the backup.

Leon Tao:
The what?

John Reese:
He didn't want me to find if anything went wrong. He just wanted me to keep rescuing people. People like you. So what is it? You pissed these guys off somehow and they're about ready to kill you when I just happened to walk in the door?

Leon Tao:
No, we were just we were just talking...

Byron:
[Interrupts] You are right, Detective. Leon stole a great deal of money from us and we're just about done talking when you walked in.

John Reese:
Listen, I don't have time for this. I need to find my friend, so I'll take Leon here and we're gonna leave.

Byron:
[Puts a gun on the table] Leon stole more than enough, in fact to make it worth us killing a cop so maybe we can make a deal. You leave Leon here with us and you can keep looking for your friend.

John Reese:
You know, the guy who owned this badge would probably have accepted the market. But I'm not him.

Byron:
So who are you?

John Reese:
The guy who shot him and stole his badge.
