Lionel Fusco

Lionel Fusco is Carter’s partner in NYPD. He was a dirty cop in the HR. That is because his good friend who was a dirty cop one day killed someone in purpose and Fusco got there to see everything. He didn’t do anything due to he was really afraid and confuse whether he should arrest his best friend or be the one of them. However, the truth is that he was a coward. So he helped his best friends to destroy the evidences rather than report to the superiors in the office. From then on, he became the dirty cop.

He has a son and like most of parents in the world, he tried to give his son the best thing. So he was really regretted that he did those dirty things. One day, Finch found him and told him to help them defeated the bad guy including the HR, because he knew that Fusco was regretted. All in all, Fusco become the member of the Machine team and even defeated the HR in the end.

Maybe Fusco is seems to be a clown in whole series. But I think he was pretty a good man who has determination and experiences. He was always steady even after his partner--Carter died and also talks to Reese to let him out of the abandoning himself.
