Episode Quotes

John Reese: When you find that one person who connects you to the world, you become someone different. Someone better. When that person is taken from you, what do you become then?

Harold Finch: About that... I don't like firearms.
John Reese: Neither do I. But if someone's going to have them, I'd rather it be me.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): Through most of the episode Reese has a bandage on his right hand. In the court house while he talks to Finch, the bandage is on his left hand. Then it's back on his right for the rest of the episode.
Goof (factual errors): The lowest official Social Security Number starts with 001. But several of the SSN's on the list Finch shows to Reese start with 000.
