- Harold Finch: It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.
- Admitting Physician: Who exactly is after you?
- Harold Finch: The Brotherhood, the federal government. An artificial super intelligence, obviously.
- Admitting Physician: What's your name, sir?
- Harold Finch: I go by many names. All derived from species of birds.
- Root: I'd mark him as a John Doe. He basically lives in the subway.
- Samaritan: [text on screen] Willing to exchange lives for location.
- John Greer: Samaritan is offering your Machine a second chance to save the lives of its human agents. Give up its location, or they die. The offer expires in 60 seconds.
- Samaritan: [starts counting down] 60 seconds. 59 seconds. 58 seconds.
- [Samaritan's POV from its monitor "FAC ALPH 57": still counting down. The Machine's POV from security camera "FAC ALPH 58": "Situation lethal. Time to asset destruction" matching Samaritan's count to milliseconds; "Evaluating strategies" with enumerated options scrolling by rapidly. Samaritan's "asset//722" advances on root with the bone saw]
- Root: [to the Machine via its security camera] Don't do it. Please. Don't give yourself up. Harold was right. We *are* interchangeable. You can replace us! You can keep fighting!
- [electronics power down, killing the lights and powering down the bone saw, leaving only the displays and camera feeds still on]
- The Machine: [displays text on medical screens] You are wrong, Harold. You are not interchangeable. I failed to save Sameen. I will not fail you now.
- Martine Rousseau: [Referring to Harold] Doesn't look like much of a fighter. Bet he'll die without so much as a peep.
- Root: [Martine reaches for Root's hand, but Root grabs her arm and then breaks her neck. Martine falls to the floor] What do you know? Not a peep.
- Carl Elias: You're calmer than normal, John. Given the circumstances.
- John Reese: I took a trip to the mountains, and I saw an old friend. Just reminded me what I've been missing.
- Carl Elias: And what is that?
- John Reese: Life.
- Harold Finch: Ok, don't lose your head, Ms. Groves, this might mean nothing, but they're holding a compact Persian sociopath in room 914.
- Root: [on the phone] Hello?
- Sameen Shaw: Root, are you there? It's me. I need your help
- [breaking up]
- Root: Shaw? Wait. Sameen!
- Harold Finch: Pardon me. Lenny?
- [pointing to the doctors]
- Harold Finch: These gentlemen stole your spaceman.
- Lenny: Liars! You stole my spaceman!
- [Attacking the doctors]
- Shelly: [Voiceover] Go home to your loved ones. Hold your daughter tight, because a new day is dawning. And those who impede progress - the disruptive, the aberrant - will be systematically purged from our society. There will be no mercy. No stay of execution. For some, this will be the end. But for others, a rebirth. A second chance to live the life they were designed for. Every life given a purpose. Samaritan will build a new world. A better world.
- Control: Too bad you won't live to see it.
- [Shoots her]
- Harold Finch: Have you forgotten her already? You've already discarded her, and you're a human being. Imagine how quickly that thing that you've created would discard you. Do you ever lie awake at night wondering if one day it will see you as a threat? Or worse, as irrelevant?
- John Greer: How arrogant of you to think that any of us are anything but irrelevant.
- Martine Rousseau: [Facing Root after running out of bullets] Time to finish what we started.
- Root: You read my mind.
