"And thank you for hearing me out," Neal said. "I know how important family is, and if I ever would have thought for a moment that me being here would have put any of you at risk, I would have left immediately." Neal hated seeing anyone else in the line of fire -- literally or metaphorically -- for things he'd done.

"I'll leave you to your business here, but, listen, I know all this sounds real dubious coming from me, so if you ever need reassurance that ... well, I'm not just saying things to keep people happy, there's a man here on the island, his name's Peter Burke. He's an FBI agent, one of the good guys. He's been a ... mentor to me, over the past couple of years, and he knows my whole story. If you can't believe me, at least hear him out."
