Person of Interest2011

Leon Tao:
What are you, ex-military? One of those Blackwater guys?

John Reese:
Does it matter?

Leon Tao:
Look, you seem - well, crazy, but highly capable. I just need you to take me to my car. You owe me that much.

John Reese:
How do you figure?

Leon Tao:
When you butted in, we were in the middle of a negotiation.

John Reese:
Negotiations don't usually end in bullets, and your friends in there were Aryan brotherhood, something you should have thought of before you stole from them. By the way, how much did you take?

Leon Tao:
8 million. Hey! Look, I didn't plan on stealing, at least not at first. I had a legitimate job at Bear Stearns. Then the recession hit and we all get axed, so I take a job at this little startup. Took me six months to realize I was working for the corporate arm of the Aryan Nation, laundering profits from their meth business. You wanna call that greedy? I call it payback. Please, I gotta get out of town, or I'm roadkill. Take me to my car. [Reese walks up to a police car] Not this car! [Reese breaks the window and handcuffs Leon to the steering wheel] What're - what're you doing?

John Reese:
Keeping you safe. Like I said, I'm looking for my friend,and I don't have time to babysit you.
