Quotes 

• Harold Finch : A subway repair line. Built in the '30s and used until it was cut off by the city's new main water line. Abandoned for decades. Antiques.

  John Reese : Like us, Harold?

  Harold Finch : I suppose they are a bit like us - living underground, resisting the new age that's trying to make us irrelevant. And like us, they still work.

• Harold Finch : You don't understand, Mr. Reese. The creator of the game isn't a hacker... it isn't even human. It's Samaritan.

• John Reese : Careful, Finch. You might have to admit you're actually working this Number.

  Harold Finch : Claire is an exception.

  John Reese : Exceptions become the rule. Especially when you start using their first names.

• Harold Finch : Truth is, I couldn't stand by and watch my friends risking everything doing work that I myself began. We're not just fighting for people's lives anymore. If we lose and Samaritan wins, the world as we know it will vanish and no one will even notice until it's far too late

• Harold Finch : I know what it's like to look for a definitive answer, even when you know that none exists. You're trying to make sense of this tragedy. You're reaching out for meaning, but the wrong thing is reaching back. This force can certainly give your life structure, order... meaning. But it wouldn't be the meaning you want.

  Claire Mahoney : It's the only thing I've got.
