Quotes 

• 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.

• Root : [on the phone]  Hello?

  Sameen Shaw : Root, are you there? It's me. I need your help

  [breaking up] 

  Root : Shaw? Wait. Sameen!

• Martine Rousseau : [Facing Root after running out of bullets]  Time to finish what we started.

  Root : You read my mind.

• Root : Isn't it your specialty ? Helping people when the phone rings !
