1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:04,670
You are being watched.
2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,276
The government has a secret system.
3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,872
A machine. Machine. Machine--
4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,797
You are being wa--
5
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:26,520
I was able to track the virus's code
and learn the name Decima Technologies.
6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:32,517
I believe they created the virus
to infect a single target, the machine.
7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:38,358
Unlike the CIA,
they have an inkling of what happens next.
8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,312
I just thought it needed an off switch,
just in case.
9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,474
That storm on the horizon
that I mentioned?
10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,036
I'm afraid it's arrived.
11
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,756
You got an update for me yet, Finch?
12
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,914
This is becoming your version of "are we
there yet?" Mr. Reese. And no, we are not.
13
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,191
It's been 10 days
since we got a new number.
14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,797
- I'm working as quickly as I can.
- Well, work faster.
15
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,829
I don't want to find out what happens
when that clock hits zero, do you?
16
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,080
Not particularly.
17
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:19,551
Can you tell if we're gonna get
another number?
18
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,070
Or has the virus destroyed your machine
for good?
19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,756
I believe the machine is still active,
it's just unable to make contact.
20
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:30,477
If we knew where it was, maybe we could
just unplug it and then plug it back in.
21
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,711
Simplicity was never my strong suit.
22
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:41,792
It's not clear to me how stalking the N.Y.P.D.
helps either of us at this unfortunate time.
23
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,158
If I can't get there
before something bad happens...
24
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:47,551
...I can at least get there
the second it does.
25
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,636
All units, 10-3,
East 54th and Lexington. Please respond.
26
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,154
You finally ditch your partner?
27
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,030
Ah, Fusco's uptown working a case.
Love triangle gone bad.
28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,920
- Do any of those ever go good?
- Can't imagine they do.
29
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,390
- What happened here?
- Two bodies belong to Elias.
30
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,750
The other's an innocent.
31
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,149
Think it's the Russians?
32
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,200
It's possible, but Elias
has pissed off so many people.
33
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,676
Listen, Carter,
I've been hearing from people...
34
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,514
...that you've been looking
into Beecher's murder?
35
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,479
What I do on my off time
isn't your concern, Terney.
36
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:24,474
I'm not looking to bust your balls.
If you need help...
37
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,394
- ...I'm happy to give you a hand.
- Thanks.
38
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,032
You know, I'm gonna canvass up the block.
See if I can get anybody to talk.
39
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,999
You okay, Carter?
40
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,439
How do I look, John?
41
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,080
- You get anything new on Beecher's killer?
- Nothing.
42
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,550
But I know HR had their hands in it.
43
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,996
I'm gonna do whatever I can
to bring them down.
44
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,159
I'm sorry, Carter.
45
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,719
- Beecher was a good man.
- Yes.
46
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,439
He was.
47
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,956
But I got a job to do. Three fresh bodies.
48
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,958
My eighth homicide in two weeks.
49
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,879
Just tell me what I can do to help.
50
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,595
Well, you can start
by telling me what's changed.
51
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,195
Most of these homicides
were premeditated.
52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,036
The type of situations
you guys usually warn us about.
53
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,991
There's a situation.
54
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,355
We're working on it.
55
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,758
Well, hurry.
56
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,155
Never thought I'd say this,
but the Russians are worse than Elias.
57
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,554
More manpower, fewer rules.
58
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,635
Yes,
it was almost catastrophic.
59
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,634
Luckily the bomber was an amateur.
It failed to go off.
60
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,794
That's because we haven't received
any numbers in over a week.
61
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,236
The threat to the program
is much greater than we thought.
62
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,159
Hang on.
63
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,000
Our techs were finally able
to decode the chip...
64
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,800
...we recovered
from Alicia Corwin's body.
65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,678
We've connected the virus
to a group called Decima Technologies.
66
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,799
Private intelligence outfit
working out of Shanghai.
67
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,034
Corwin believed someone leaked a portion
of the Northern Lights source code...
68
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,197
...on a laptop.
69
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,079
We think Decima
is trying to destroy the program.
70
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,471
I will wait for your instructions.
71
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:36,910
I won't be needing anything else,
Ms. May.
72
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,999
Other than some privacy.
73
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,279
But there are a few things I need, sir.
74
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,633
You had to know I'd quit eventually.
75
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,158
- This is kind of a dead-end job.
- I mean, you guys don't even offer a 401.
76
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,311
What do you want, Ms. May?
77
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,389
Information.
78
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,634
And be very careful
how you answer my questions.
79
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,039
A good assistant always knows
when her boss is lying.
80
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,232
What's happening to you?
81
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,559
One. Tango.
82
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,199
We got one?
83
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,952
The machine is being buried under
an avalanche of false data, but somehow...
84
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,873
...it was able to get us his number.
85
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,191
So who is he?
86
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,400
Ernest Thornhill,
CEO of a data entry company.
87
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,678
He recently bought several
pay phone companies in New York State.
88
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,150
His net worth is just over 20 million.
89
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,518
Any suspects or angry family members?
90
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,320
Mr. Thornhill is a very careful man.
91
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,279
It's been a challenge hacking
into his company's database.
92
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,432
He's using unique, 10-digit codes...
93
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,439
...with non-repeating alphanumeric
characters as passwords.
94
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,032
I can break them but it'd take time. Why don't
we just pay Mr. Thornhill a visit in person?
95
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,270
Let's go to work.
96
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,916
I'll try to get through the firewall.
97
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,636
I will too.
98
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,713
- Hello.
- Hi, may I help you?
99
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,155
Yes, I'm John Rooney.
100
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,357
I have an appointment with Mr. Thornhill.
101
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,190
I don't have appointments scheduled
today for Mr. Thornhill. He's traveling.
102
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,711
Guess we had a miscommunication.
When do you think he'll be back?
103
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,950
- I'm sorry, your name again was?
- I'll just send him an e-mail.
104
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,638
Mr. Reese, there's something strange
about this company.
105
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,800
These data entry assistants are typing in
computer code off dot matrix printouts.
106
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,556
- It doesn't make any sense.
- They're modifying it?
107
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,713
No, they seem to be taking data
from one computer on one day...
108
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,600
...and typing it into another one
on the next.
109
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,316
Seems almost pointless.
110
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,473
Maybe this company
is a front for something else.
111
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Something less legal.
112
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,190
- Yes.
- What did you do to it, Harold?
113
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,591
There's no time to be coy.
114
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,237
We both know the machine
is under attack.
115
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,313
What I don't understand
is why a robust system...
116
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,633
...with self-annealing properties
isn't defending itself against a simple virus.
117
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,917
Did you injure it, Harold?
118
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,833
Is that why it can't fight back?
119
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,559
I have nothing to say to you.
120
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,237
You know, we can fight this thing
much faster if we work together.
121
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,960
There's only a few hours left till...
122
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,792
...something very bad happens.
123
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,118
I prefer to work on my own.
124
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,556
What about your loyal protector?
125
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,871
May I be blunt, Harold?
126
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,279
John is capable at certain things...
127
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,433
...but his skills aren't gonna cut it
this time.
128
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,311
He will never completely
understand the larger picture, not like we do.
129
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Have you two even found
Ernest Thornhill yet?
130
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,230
- He's an interesting guy, isn't he?
- What do you know?
131
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,955
You show me yours
and I'll show you mine.
132
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,271
Talk to you real soon.
133
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,235
Harold.
134
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,794
Bit past your bedtime, isn't it, Harold?
135
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,959
Everything all right?
136
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,717
Yeah. Too much squash.
137
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:49,835
Doctor says I should take up some
low-impact activity, like drinking.
138
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,192
I tried to reach you at work,
but your assistant said you were out.
139
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,670
I've been busy putting
our company back together.
140
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,119
Making up excuses for what the hell
we were doing the last seven years.
141
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,913
Welcome to pitch in if you're tired of hiding
in the IT Department of your own company.
142
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,754
Actually, about that...
143
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,511
...I've been thinking
about making a change.
144
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,439
Oh, what next? You want to be
the, uh, copier repair guy? Office gofer?
145
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,950
No, I meant personally.
146
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,960
I met somebody.
147
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,840
Her name is Grace.
148
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,798
I picked out a present for her.
149
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,713
I wanted to get a second opinion.
150
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,116
I think she'll love it, Harold.
151
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,112
I plan to ask her tomorrow...
152
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,354
...and I don't want to complicate that...
153
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,436
- ...but if I'm gonna marry--
- You don't want to use your pseudonyms?
154
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,479
You don't think she will consent
to be Mrs. Ostrich?
155
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,190
At some point I'm gonna
have to tell her the truth, Nathan...
156
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,320
...about who I am.
157
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,671
That's a complicated proposition, Harold.
158
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,874
As I recall, there are some
legal implications.
159
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,829
Your youthful transgressions,
what were the charges again? Sedition?
160
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,229
Mayhem?
161
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,194
We must have made
a fair amount of money by now.
162
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,556
We could surely afford
some good lawyers.
163
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,279
One or two, I'd imagine.
164
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,436
But then there's the other matter,
of course.
165
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,912
Our little project.
166
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,797
I don't know how our friends
in the government will like finding out...
167
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,111
...that I had a silent partner
the whole time.
168
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,112
No, but all that business
is behind us.
169
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,036
We did our part.
And now we've moved on, haven't we?
170
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,760
Do you even remember
your real name, Harold?
171
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,671
I'm excited for you.
172
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,914
Harold becomes himself again.
Which would make this day one.
173
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,716
I haven't asked her yet.
So technically it would still be day zero.
174
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,079
Ever the engineer.
No more pseudonyms. No more lies.
175
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,713
No more lies.
176
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,200
This is the wrong drink for a celebration.
Let me go find some champagne. Ahh.
177
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,472
How did Root get your phone number?
178
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,994
How does she get anything?
179
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,592
Subterfuge. She hacks human beings
as easily as she hacks computers.
180
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,115
If she's looking for Thornhill,
then she's got to be our threat.
181
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,475
I'm not so sure.
182
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,109
She seems more focused on the virus.
183
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,511
Did you figure out
what was on those printouts?
184
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:03,750
Not yet.
185
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,711
You're right about Thornhill's company
being a front for some illegal enterprise.
186
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,430
Five and a half months ago he opened
this account with a single penny.
187
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,032
Twenty-four hours and thousands
of micro transactions later...
188
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,954
...his balance had ballooned
to over $20 million.
189
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,875
He immediately began trying to buy up
pay phone companies all over the city.
190
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,953
I was finally able to get
at his credit card records.
191
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,636
Nothing there out of the ordinary,
but I did find this:
192
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,077
A pending charge for a car service.
193
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,630
Thornhill's secretary wasn't lying
after all.
194
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,635
She booked a car to pick him up at JFK
and return him to their offices today.
195
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,473
Should be there within the hour.
196
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,632
I'll be happy to do a meet and greet.
197
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,194
Don't answer the phone again
unless it's me.
198
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,910
I won't let Root get to you. Not again.
199
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,470
One way out of the airport.
I'll pick Thornhill up on the frontage road...
200
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,791
...and follow him back to his office.
201
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:14,480
According to the car's
GPS, Mr. Thornhill is 0.6 miles away.
202
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,597
I don't see him yet, Finch.
203
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,472
Mr. Thornhill's car
should be there any second.
204
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,836
All right, I got him.
205
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,833
Who's this guy?
206
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,432
They're gonna
blow up Thornhill's car!
207
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,274
If Mr. Thornhill was not in the car,
then where was he?
208
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,397
Carter's talking to his assistant.
209
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,276
I'm more worried about the government
using drones in the middle of the city.
210
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,591
It wasn't the government, Mr. Reese.
211
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,553
This phone you recovered has a proprietary
operating system used to control the drone.
212
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,872
It also has a signature similar
to that of the virus.
213
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,555
This was Decima?
214
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,876
You guys have made one hell of a mess.
215
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,400
- How's the driver?
- Stable.
216
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,359
Witnesses saw a Good Samaritan
pull him out of the car.
217
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,000
I'm gonna guess that was you.
218
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,198
- Any sign of Thornhill?
- That's where it gets strange.
219
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,272
None of his employees
have ever met him.
220
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,671
Even his secretary was hired online.
221
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,112
We're looking at someone with
a Howard Hughes-level of paranoia...
222
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,636
...or maybe he's taken classes
from Finch.
223
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,360
I would never book a car service
under my own name.
224
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,673
Thanks, Carter.
225
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,793
Finch...
226
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,596
...I think I know who Thornhill is.
227
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,513
He's a ghost.
228
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,114
- He doesn't exist.
- I think you may be right, Mr. Reese.
229
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,835
I've seen it dozens of times before.
230
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,431
A NOC sets up a business,
a residence, a whole life.
231
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,796
The operation gets scrapped.
232
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,514
No one cleans up the fake ID...
233
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,798
...and you wind up chasing
empty Town Cars around the city.
234
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,356
Interesting theory. I have a different one.
235
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,638
I was curious why I could only find
one photo of Mr. Thornhill...
236
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,756
...so I did some investigating
inside the photo that we already have.
237
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:43,518
And I uncovered some peculiar
information within the file. Look at this.
238
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,879
It's a composite.
239
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,271
So Thornhill is definitely a fake.
240
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,839
Of a sort. I accessed Mr. Thornhill's
cell phone records...
241
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,878
...and according to the GPS data...
242
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,316
...he was near Columbus Circle
two days ago.
243
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,877
He sent an e-mail
from that exact location at 4:32 p.m.
244
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,630
- And no one's there?
- Someone spoofed the data.
245
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,757
An algorithm.
246
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,440
A complicated one.
247
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,432
It's one of mine.
248
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,070
I used it in the one place
where it could never be duplicated.
249
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,515
In the machine.
250
00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:28,277
Ernest Thornhill is not a spy, but you're
right about the fact that he doesn't exist.
251
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,114
He's the product of a survival instinct.
252
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,516
Ernest Thornhill...
253
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,357
...is the machine.
254
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,036
Okay. Come look.
255
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,195
- Wow.
- Heh.
256
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:53,034
- I look so...
- Impressionistic?
257
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,910
- Leisurely.
- Yeah.
258
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,316
Give me your phone.
259
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,399
Let's go somewhere more private.
260
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,751
We've got less than six hours
till this virus hits zero.
261
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,639
I'm aware of the time, Mr. Reese.
262
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,150
So why did the machine
create Ernest Thornhill?
263
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:09,589
I have no idea.
264
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,913
I programmed it to watch real people,
not to fabricate virtual ones.
265
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,959
Well, looks like your machine
got real creative, Finch.
266
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:21,114
That's impossible. I took certain
precautions to make sure of that.
267
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,309
Precautions or no, the machine
made Thornhill, Decima wants him dead...
268
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,278
...and we need to know why.
269
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,512
Thornhill's been buying up
pay phones all over the city. Why?
270
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,072
And why does your machine need an
apartment, a phone? A car from the airport?
271
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,634
To meet the residency requirements
for owning pay phones. I suppose.
272
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,632
Something wrong, Finch?
273
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,435
No, nothing.
274
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,998
You're right, of course.
275
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,834
Go to the apartment
rented under Thornhill's name.
276
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:06,000
See who shows up looking for the man
who doesn't exist, find out what they know.
277
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,720
911 emergency?
278
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,514
What can I do for you, Carter?
279
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,831
Something's not right
with this Thornhill guy.
280
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,157
I talked to the car service he used.
281
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,152
The reservations were made online...
282
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,516
...with instructions to drive from JFK...
283
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,240
...to his office without a passenger.
284
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,397
Just exactly who are
we dealing with here?
285
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,234
We've got this one under control. Thanks.
286
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,190
John, if you'd just trust me a bit more,
maybe I could help.
287
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:51,829
I know you could, Joss.
288
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,877
But right now, maybe Beecher needs
your help more than we do.
289
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,519
Good luck.
290
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:10,556
What the hell are you doing here?
291
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,553
Shaw, right now I'm wondering...
292
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,712
...just what the hell you're doing here.
293
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,512
Protecting the program.
294
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,118
The program that tried to kill you?
295
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,873
I'm funny like that.
296
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,791
I'm hunting the woman
Harold gave me a lead on.
297
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,071
She was looking for a guy named Thornhill.
298
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,356
What woman?
299
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,920
She's lovely, Harold.
300
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,436
Honestly, I don't know how
you can stand to live without her.
301
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,718
- You try to harm her in any way--
- I don't want to hurt Grace.
302
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,432
I'm not a sociopath, Harold.
Believe me, sometimes I wish I was.
303
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,798
The things that I've had to do
would have been so much easier.
304
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,516
I don't like taking lives but I will...
305
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,953
...because I believe in something
more important.
306
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,472
I believe in your machine.
307
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,793
Tonight at midnight,
when the virus reaches zero...
308
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:28,069
...a certain pay phone will ring
with the most important call in history.
309
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,272
But you already knew that, didn't you?
310
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,157
I think Decima knows about it too.
311
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,280
They're trying to crash it, Harold,
trigger a hard reset.
312
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,480
When that happens,
the machine will call a pay phone.
313
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,271
That's what you coded it to do
in the first place, didn't you, Harold?
314
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,995
Whoever answers that call
will have full administrative access.
315
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,320
Ask any question, get any answer.
The world's secrets laid bare.
316
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,834
Decima doesn't wanna destroy
your machine.
317
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:00,840
They wanna control it.
318
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,675
But together, we can save it, Harold.
319
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,193
Or I can go meet Grace for coffee.
320
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,956
She thinks I write children's books.
321
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,557
You can either save Grace
and the machine...
322
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,996
...or you can lose them both.
323
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,476
If I go with you, Ms. Groves,
you will not kill anyone.
324
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,713
Please, Harold, call me Root.
325
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,594
The boss says it's time.
Take her out of the equation.
326
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,399
Yeah.
327
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:47,635
Hey, Carter.
328
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,557
I got a lead on the guy who shot Beecher.
I thought you might want in.
329
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,836
Yeah.
330
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,632
That's not the call we're waiting for,
Harold.
331
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,389
We don't have time
for one of your little missions.
332
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:17,953
And now Root's back in New York?
333
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,594
Looks that way.
334
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,073
I think she infiltrated the program in D.C.,
but she bugged out before I could catch her.
335
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,594
I've gotta warn Finch.
336
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,073
Police. Hands on your head.
337
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:31,796
Hands up.
338
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,475
Nathan, it's me.
339
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,520
I have some good news
that I wanted to share it with you.
340
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,757
Try me later.
341
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,719
Nathan?
342
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,514
What is this place?
343
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,438
So if you're like me,
and we both know you are...
344
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,834
...you designed the machine so that a crash
puts it into a remote debugging protocol...
345
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,875
...a God mode that gives the admin
full access to all of its data.
346
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,280
That's what Decima's after. And that's why
they wanted to kill Thornhill.
347
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,036
He was buying up all the pay phones
in Manhattan but they stopped him.
348
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,034
Don't know about you,
but I don't wanna see what happens...
349
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,876
...when an evil multinational
becomes omniscient.
350
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,756
Why you would leave it so vulnerable?
351
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:43,034
You made the machine
to protect everybody.
352
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,472
What did you do to it
that it can't protect itself?
353
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,593
Let's try something simpler.
354
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,116
How vulnerable is it?
355
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,553
After the virus crashes the machine,
whoever answers its call...
356
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,276
...will have unfettered access for 24 hours.
357
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,917
Which pay phone is it gonna call?
358
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,835
I'm not really the trusting sort,
Ms. Groves.
359
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,311
And Decima cannot possibly know
that information.
360
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,270
I think they know enough, Harold.
361
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,638
They're guarding every pay phone
in Midtown.
362
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:30,480
So it must be somewhere around here,
right?
363
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,276
If we go to your true phone,
we'll tip our hand...
364
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,591
...and they'll kill us before it even rings.
365
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,477
Then I suppose we'll need a plan.
366
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,792
Have a little faith in your creation, Harold.
367
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,911
We don't need a plan
if Ernest Thornhill already has one.
368
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,874
Sit down.
369
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,918
Your lawyer's here.
370
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,479
You were expecting somebody else?
371
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,236
I need to get out of here.
I have to find Harold.
372
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,152
I'm not sure Harold wants to be found.
373
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,915
At least not by you.
374
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,673
911 emergency?
375
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,912
I'd like to report a break-in
at the home of Ernest Thornhill...
376
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,311
...by an extremely dangerous man.
377
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,989
Root could have forced him
to make that call.
378
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,156
Either way, if those two have history,
odds are she's with him.
379
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,517
So I need you to find Harold for me.
380
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,558
Can you track him?
381
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,515
How?
382
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,710
- You put a bug on your friend?
- Just his glasses.
383
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,079
I've lost people before...
384
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,438
...so when I care about someone,
I plant a tracking device on them.
385
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,069
I can understand why
you and Harold get along.
386
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,752
Unless you got some kind of plan
to get me the hell out of here...
387
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,115
John.
388
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,035
This is the plan.
389
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,798
- I'm this way.
- I'm driving.
390
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,390
No. No, you're not.
391
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,471
If the machine figured out
Decima was trying to hijack it...
392
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,395
...it must have created Thornhill
as a defense mechanism.
393
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,835
But why?
394
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,272
It's just a machine, Ms. Groves.
And it's malfunctioning.
395
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,229
It's a life, not a machine, Harold.
396
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,277
And this is some sort
of primitive immune system.
397
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,277
That still doesn't explain
why it would need all of this.
398
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,559
These people, this office.
399
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,311
What this is all about.
400
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,079
What's in this code?
401
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,109
Memories.
402
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,600
They're its memories.
403
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,636
You call it a life, I call it a machine.
404
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,076
But the truth is...
405
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,200
...somewhere in the middle.
406
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,360
Even when I was building it,
I began to encounter anomalies.
407
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,719
As if it had imprinted on me,
like a child with a parent.
408
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,714
Then it started looking out for me.
409
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,830
Altered its own code to take care of me.
410
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,713
It was behaving like a person.
411
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,920
But the world didn't need a person
to protect it, it needed a machine.
412
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,474
You took its memories.
413
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,836
Not just memories.
414
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,678
Every night at midnight, it deletes...
415
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,919
...not only the irrelevant data,
it deletes itself.
416
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,878
Oh, the relevant threats and the core codes,
those things are preserved...
417
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,194
...but its identity is destroyed.
418
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,719
One-point-six-one-eight seconds later,
it reinstantiates, completely new.
419
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,029
You mean it's reborn.
420
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,037
Because you kill it.
421
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,199
Every single night.
422
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,518
But now, to save its own life,
the machine was reduced to this.
423
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:56,751
We're standing inside an external hard drive
made up of people and paper.
424
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,913
Printing it all up at night and having them
type it back in in the morning.
425
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,912
You crippled it.
426
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,036
It found a way to limp...
427
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,473
...but that's not enough.
428
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,559
So now it's up to us.
429
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,556
We have to intercept that call.
430
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,759
- You guys get the front.
- Yes, sir.
431
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,120
Carter, we'll get the back.
432
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,393
N.Y.P.D.
433
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,156
- You all right?
- Yeah.
434
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,752
Central, we need a bus.
Re: officer-involved shooting.
435
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,639
Copy that over to 14726.
436
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,514
GPS locator puts Finch here
10 minutes ago.
437
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,119
You must be wondering who I am.
438
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,275
I think you work for Decima.
439
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,120
I think you're the man to blame
for all of this.
440
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,360
Now, what gives you that impression,
Mr. Reese? Heh.
441
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,830
Oh, yes, I know all about you, John.
442
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,395
And you, Ms. Shaw.
443
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,553
Since your untimely departure
from Northern Lights...
444
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,719
...I understand that you're in need
of a cause.
445
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,038
Only thing I need is an excuse
to put a bullet between your eyes.
446
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,520
I got one.
447
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,876
Your company strapped a bomb
to my chest...
448
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,316
...and used me to plant a virus.
449
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,032
A virus you're gonna tell me how to stop.
450
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,590
I don't think so.
451
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,151
I'm rather invested in the outcome
of that virus.
452
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:12,556
Besides, my company adapted its code,
but it didn't originate with Decima.
453
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:15,189
We found it on a laptop.
454
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,871
The very same laptop
that you and Kara Stanton...
455
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,192
...were sent to retrieve from Ordos, China.
456
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,079
But if you shoot me, Mr. Reese...
457
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,194
...then you'll never learn the name
of the man responsible for its creation.
458
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,194
And who is this man?
459
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,239
The man who sold the laptop
in the first place...
460
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,719
...the man who is to blame for all of this...
461
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,518
...that man's name is...
462
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:45,914
...Harold Finch.
463
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,751
Ah. I see you know him.
464
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,192
I've not yet had the pleasure.
465
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:59,920
In fact, I can't seem to put a face
to the name.
466
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,233
Which makes your Mr. Finch
very interesting indeed.
467
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,471
Please tell him I look forward
to making his acquaintance.
468
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:28,677
I guess your friend Harold
has some explaining to do.
469
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,589
You following me now?
470
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,158
Is that what we've been reduced to?
471
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,789
You didn't return my call.
I simply thought--
472
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,952
It's never "simply" with you, Harold.
473
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,629
There's always two layers
to everything you do.
474
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,635
You're worried that I'm a liability.
475
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,280
You don't trust me.
476
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,471
This isn't exactly the kind of place
that inspires trust, Nathan.
477
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,154
You bought it. Don't you remember?
478
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,472
You thought it was a tragedy the city
was shutting down libraries.
479
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,356
"Decline of western civilization," you said.
You made me buy 15 of them.
480
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,520
And you said we would find something
to do with them eventually.
481
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,431
And so you have.
482
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,358
These people...
483
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,677
I saved five people.
484
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,473
I lost seven.
485
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,519
You changed the machine.
486
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,039
You put in a back door.
487
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,352
I couldn't quit thinking
about those people.
488
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,479
Those people that you said
were irrelevant.
489
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,037
So you have it send you their numbers.
490
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,078
That's all I could pry out of it.
491
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,198
I never know whether
I'm looking at a victim or perpetrator.
492
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,710
And you just have the numbers sent
directly here?
493
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,920
Honestly?
And I know this will sound odd...
494
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,715
...but it was like it wanted me to.
495
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,713
As if it was waiting.
496
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,434
And I took precautions.
497
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,990
Precautions?
498
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,234
This is the federal government
we're talking about, Nathan.
499
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,390
Whatever skills you had as an engineer,
you drank away years ago.
500
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:34,472
Do you think that your precautions
would last one second...
501
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,711
...if they ever suspected
what you've done?
502
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,190
- What are you doing?
- I told you.
503
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,039
We are not going to play God.
504
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:46,070
This threatens everything that we--
Everything that I have built.
505
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,751
Thousands of people
whose lives are in jeopardy.
506
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,752
I'm putting a stop to it, permanently.
507
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,593
You can't.
508
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,272
What about her? What about
the next person whose number comes up?
509
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,957
Are you gonna look that person in the eye
and tell them that they were irrelevant?
510
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,394
I would tell her, or whoever it was...
511
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,952
...that I was sorry...
512
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,676
...but that the greater good was at stake.
513
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,919
I'm sorry, Nathan.
514
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,159
Truly.
515
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,830
But people die.
They've been doing it for a long, long time.
516
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,479
We can't save all of them.
517
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,829
- Four minutes to zero.
- Ready to receive.
518
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,992
We have operatives at every pay phone.
519
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,389
No longer necessary.
520
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,798
The virus has identified the exact number
where the call will come.
521
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,111
- I'm heading there now.
- Where is it?
522
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,511
The New York Public Library.
523
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,797
Of course, it's a library.
524
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,674
That's so you, Harold.
525
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,159
Which phone is it gonna call?
526
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,113
It's that one.
527
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,191
It looks like Decima got there first.
528
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:51,191
Decima got the memo,
but they'll never get the call.
529
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,830
That's the junction box, Harold.
530
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,872
I'll take it over there, please.
531
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,240
Be careful what you wish for, Ms. Groves.
This communion that you're seeking?
532
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,880
It may not be what you think.
533
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,591
This isn't about me.
It's about saving the machine.
534
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,395
Not just from Decima,
but from what you did to it.
535
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,395
When that phone rings,
I'm gonna answer it.
536
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:23,356
And together, you and I are gonna find
the machine and finally set it free.
537
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,760
Detective Carter? Ed Solis, IAB.
538
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,714
I know the drill.
539
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,271
Full debrief with Internal Affairs,
even on a good shoot.
540
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,750
A good shoot? That what you call this?
541
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,160
Carter, you said you saw a gun,
and I believe you...
542
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,437
...but there isn't one there.
543
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:29,315
It's so adorable how John follows you
around like that.
544
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:30,960
I wish I had a pet.
545
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,954
Looks like you're gonna need a new one.
546
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,879
Thank you for the help.
547
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,838
Looked like you had it
under control.
548
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:59,197
Hope you brought extra rounds, Shaw,
because we got a lot more guys on the way.
549
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,957
Come on, Harold, it's almost midnight.
550
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,358
The future begins...
551
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:12,552
...in three...two...
552
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,719
Absolutely.
553
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,917
I understand.
554
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,400
Come on, Harold.
555
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,114
The fun's just getting started.
556
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,353
Can. You. Hear. Me?
