I don't want them to get you, Monroe. I don't want them to get Yuji, or Kotetsu, or Alex, or John, or Ryan - or Lyall or Derek or Karl or Toni or Akito or hell, anyone. It was easier when I didn't know, before I realized how deep this was, how bad it was going to get. But I'm a cop. I'm supposed to help people. We're supposed to help people, and they're using that to hunt down innocent people. Me, they're using me. If I ignore this, they're using me.
[He takes Monroe's hand, threading their fingers together almost tentatively, because he's not sure that Monroe'll let him.]
I won't be walking into their hands. I'll be careful. But you're - really important to me, okay? If you don't want me to do it, I won't.
