Quotes 

• Harold Finch : [Defusing a bomb]  For this phone, it's one of five combinations.

  John Reese : That's good.

  Harold Finch : The problem is we only get three attempts before the phone permanently locks us out.

  John Reese : That's not.

• Harold Finch : What?

  John Reese : Something you said once. About how sooner or later we'd both probably wind up dead.

  Harold Finch : I prefer later. After all, I'm the one who got you into this in the first place.

  John Reese : I'm pretty sure I'd be dead already if you hadn't found me.

  Harold Finch : It's hard to say.

  John Reese : Not really. Pick a winner, Harold.

• John Reese : This is my past catching up with me. It doesn't concern you.

  Harold Finch : But this moment does. I'm not leaving you here John. So can we please stop wasting time?

• John Reese : The hard drive tell you anything?

  Harold Finch : Not yet. Whatever she uploaded, the encryption is remarkable. I can only assume that the malware it's protecting is equally sophisticated. The only thing I've been able to decompile is when it's set to go live - -a little more than 5 months from now.

  John Reese : What happens then?

  Harold Finch : I suppose we'll find out.

• Joss Carter : I can barely hear you.

  Harold Finch : Sorry about the noise, but I had to relocate to a place with better WIFI anonymity before hacking the Department of Defense.

  Joss Carter : You hacked the DOD?

• John Reese : Have you ever defused a bomb vest before?

  Harold Finch : Can't say I have. But I believe I grasp the basic principles.

  John Reese : Well, that's encouraging.

  Harold Finch : It appears that she's wired the phone to a capacitor-based trigger. If the phone is called, it will charge the capacitor which will, in turn, release it's charge in a single burst.

  John Reese : Finch.

  Harold Finch : I'm sorry. This is my process.

  John Reese : Can you shut off the timer?

  Harold Finch : I can't get at the battery. I need to hack the phone's lock code.

  John Reese : Can you do it?

  Harold Finch : I have built some of the most complex computer systems in existence. I can certainly unlock a phone. All phones have a universal unlock code based on their model and the unique IMEI number.

• Harold Finch : Detective. Are you all right?

  Joss Carter : We were ambushed. She killed Donnelly and took John.

  Harold Finch : Are you injured?

  Joss Carter : No. I'm just... handcuffed.
