"HAROLD:" "You are being watched." "The government has a secret system." "Secret system." "GREER:" "A system you asked for, to keep you safe." "HAROLD:" "A machine that spies on you every hour of every day." "GREER:" "You granted it the power to see everything." "To index, order and control the lives of ordinary people." "HAROLD:" "The government considers these people irrelevant." "We don't." "GREER:" "But to it, you are all irrelevant." "Victim or perpetrator, if you stand in its way..." "HAROLD:" "We'll find you." "HAROLD:" "I wanted to talk to you." "No one else would really understand." "Not much of a conversation, as you can't talk back." "That's my fault." "But I've been thinking, and I know you have, too," "about how all this plays out, about what happens next." "I'm sure you've made a million different versions." "I know some very bad things are coming." "I know I'm probably going to die." "I accepted that a long time ago." "But I was wondering if, in any of those many versions," "the people that I've roped into helping me, my friends..." "Whether they get out alive?" "Is that a path that we're on?" "I suppose I may have made that impossible." "Even if you could tell me, it's probably too late." "Double shot and a cappuccino." "Glad to see you back." "It's been a while, hasn't it?" "I'm afraid that you are confusing me with someone else." "This is the first time I've been to this establishment." "Oh, sorry." "It's just..." "Thought I recognized your order, too." "What a coincidence." "Goodbye, and thank you." "Good morning, Ms. Groves." "How is Ms. Shaw faring?" "Great." "How is she really faring?" "It's going to take some time." "Is there anything else the matter?" "We finally have open access to the Machine, and now you're planning to close it, go back to talking in numbers." "Unless you've added telepathy to your long list of talents, there's no way you could have known that I had chosen today to end our dialog with the Machine." "You built her to predict people, Harry, and she's very good at it, starting with you." "She respects your decision." "She believes in you so much." "You don't agree." "You built God, Harry." "Who am I to question your judgment or hers?" " But?" " But we're going to lose." "You know that." "We have the most powerful ally in the world, but you're too high-minded to let her help us, so, we're going to end up the most principled corpses in potter's field." "We've stayed alive so far." "We're not living." "We're surviving." "We're human." "Eventually, we'll make a mistake, and she'll die, too." "I know why you didn't give her a name." "You don't name something you may have to kill." "You had to kill the first 40 versions of her, but like it or not, Harry, she's your child," "and she's going to die unknown, unmourned." "She'll simply vanish without a trace." "(SCOFFS)" "And you couldn't even give her a real voice to ask you if it needs to end like this." "I didn't give the Machine a name because I imagined that, one day, it might wish to choose one for itself." "And a system doesn't have to be open to be given a voice." "Whose voice would you prefer?" "She's a big girl." "Like you said, let her choose." "HAROLD:" "I'm locking us out of the system." "As for a voice, we'll see what she chooses."

"(TELEPHONE RINGING)" "But you've yet to be published on the subject of Word Sense Disambiguation." "Knowing that, how are you qualified to give me a B minus?" "Office hours are over." "Professor Whistler was just about to change my grade." "This paper is a C minus at best, and that man is not your professor." "He's an architect of the future." "Mr. Reese, what's going on?" " We have a new number." " Whose?" "Yours." "Excuse me." "What about my grade?" " You failed." " Oh." "Sorry, Harry." "Professor Whistler's taking early retirement." "(GUNSHOTS) -(GRUNTS)" "(GUNSHOT) -(GRUNTS)" "Who wants to go quietly?" "Nice doing business with you, Trevor." "Let's get out of here before more of his colleagues show up." "Good to be alive, isn't it, Harry?" "We haven't survived this yet, Ms. Groves." "Harold's cover is blown." " And yours, Detective?" " Don't know yet." "Which is precisely why you should put some distance between us, John." "It's not worth the risk." "Street's clear." "You weren't followed." "Ms. Shaw, it's good to have you back home." "Harold, do you know how they found you?" "HAROLD:" "I don't know." "I do." "I'm back a week." "Your cover's blown." "JOHN:" "This place could be blown, too." "We need to take what we can, guns, ammo, cash, and get the hell out fast." "We're going on the offensive." "Temporary Resolutions." "Starting at that office and working right up their chain of command." "They can't get to Finch if we get to them first." "(DOOR CLICKS)" "Yeah, I love you, too." "(DOOR CLOSES)" "Grab some guns, Sameen." "You'll feel better once we shoot some people." "There'd be a better way to fight this war if we hadn't closed the system." "If I believed that, I wouldn't have done it." "What if I said I hard-coded a little something extra into the system before you closed it for good?" "I gave her the capacity to defend herself." "There are rules, Ms. Groves, rules I did not arrive at casually." "Don't worry." "I added a safeguard." "She'll only act if you ask her to." "It's entirely your decision." "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "SHAW:" "Party crashers." "You wanna stick around, give them a proper welcome?" "Thought you'd never ask." "Offense works for me." "What about Glasses?" "He's not exactly Indiana Jones, you know." "Leave Harold with me." "You think you can hide him from an all-seeing eye?" "I used to be the all-seeing eye." "I know just the place to keep Harold out of sight." "JOHN:" "Good." "Sorry to miss the party, ladies, but we need to move." "(GUN COCKS)" "I wish you wouldn't do this on my account." "I'm just protecting a number, Harold." "It's what you hired me to do." "HAROLD:" "These are the Double B high rises." "Are you sure the place is safe?" "For me, yes." "For an outsider, of course not." "Pardon the smell." "Used to be a meth lab." "Well, the escort is much appreciated, but I'll take it from here." "I'm sorry, Harold." "This isn't just your fight." "We have a common enemy, one that murdered a dear friend." "I'm in your corner until the end." "I confess I'm not a fan of boxing, but have you ever been to a match where everybody knows the fighter's done, except the fighter himself?" "It's never done." "We've lasted too long to give up now." "I'm afraid you're signing your own death warrant." "Be that as it may, I'd rather die on the mat than throw in the towel." "It's more peaceful than I'd have imagined." "I negotiated a truce between the two gangs warring over the territory." "Enjoy it." "Nobody's getting in here." "You've thought a few moves ahead, but our opponent has thought 1,000." "You were always quite the chess player." "Did you ever game out where you'd be at this point in your life?" "I must admit, a meth lab was low on my list of possibilities." "I was fairly certain I'd end up in prison." "Strange." "Me, too." "Oh, the lives we could have led." "It's funny." "When we met, John was protecting a teacher named Charlie Burton in this exact housing project." "As I recall, that protection ended when Charlie pulled a gun on John." "A youthful indiscretion." "I was living underground three years, but I got sloppy and was caught on a surveillance camera." "Everything all right, Harold?" "Excuse me." "HAROLD:" "Root." "Hey, stranger." " Just finishing up here." "(GRUNTS)" "I'm afraid I've made a grave miscalculation." "I went back to the place I took Grace on our first date." "It had been 10 years to the day since I bought her that first cappuccino." "Samaritan isn't just watching everything we do now." "It's monitoring everything we've ever done." "You said this morning we were just surviving." "By then, my fate had been sealed, but not yours." "I would hate for my mistake to mean punishment for the rest of you." "And please tell Ms. Shaw, this is not her cross to bear." "This lapdog has the same card." "Temporary Resolutions." "You wanna tell me how this all-seeing eye thing doesn't see us coming?" "It does." "We're two homicide detectives investigating a campus shooting." "(FUSCO READING) ls it just me, or is dispatching hitmen more of a permanent resolution?" "Ready or not, Lionel..." "Welcome to Temporary Resolutions." "How can I help you, gentlemen?" "Detective Riley, NYPD." "My partner and I are investigating a shooting involving one of your employees." "A shooting?" "Oh, my God!" "We need to see your employee files." "I'm afraid you're gonna need a warrant for that." "Can we speak to your supervisor?" "Are you sure you want to do that?" "We'll take our chances." "Of course." "Right this way." "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "Can I offer you gentlemen any water while you're waiting?" "Coffee, maybe?" "We're good." "BRENDA:" "Our supervisor will be right with you." "(CELL PHONE BEEPS)" "(SIGHS)" " That was Harry." " I gathered." "He think I'm the reason his cover's blown?" "He knows you're not." "He slipped up." "He went back to the place he and Grace had their first date." "Harold has a weakness." "We all do." "It'd be nice if we could go back." "I guess none of us has the life we want." "Actually, Sameen," "I've been hiding since I was 12." "This might be the first time I feel like I belong." "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "These guys don't quit." "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "Guess we might get a workout after all." "ELIAS:" "Would you care for some dinner, Harold?" "I make a killer puttanesca, even in a kitchen that's only been used to cook meth." "They're here." "Shame." "I don't think we'll have enough place settings." "The two gangs' normal behavior is to fight all day every day, so today is an anomaly." "That's how they found us." "In that case, the puttanesca will have to wait." "I'm beginning to think this supervisor's never showing." "Lionel." "What do you hear?" "Nothing." "That can't be good." "(GUN COCKS)" "They sent 50 employees packing." "So they could send in the big guns, and we're their targets." "Get ready, Lionel." "Chain of command's coming for us." "(GUNSHOTS)" "(GRUNTS)" "Ah!" "JOHN:" "Nice shot, Lionel, but I'm afraid it's time we wrap this up." "(GUNSHOTS) -(GRUNTS)" "Do me a favor, and push the elevator button, would you, Harold?"

"JOHN:" "Root, RTCC got a hit on the vehicle transporting Finch." "ROOT:" "The Machine beat you to the punch." "Shaw and I are already on the way." "(CAR DOOR CLOSES)" "Don't worry, Harold." "This won't take long." "I should hope not." "I won't give you the location of my friends or the Machine, so please, go ahead and kill me now before more people die." "My dear Harold, Samaritan doesn't want you dead." "So why has it gone to all this trouble to bring me here?" "Because Samaritan needs your help." "Granted, Samaritan knows that you won't hear its appeal in your current state." "One day, a day you might not be able to see now, you will work for Samaritan of your own accord." "Take him." "If you could just follow me, sir." "Have a pleasant journey, Mr. Finch."

"Your whole "I'm crazy and the world is just a simulation" thing." "It's a little like when Harry had me locked up, and I was questioning everything." "Can we talk about this after the whole "lethal shootout" thing?" "No time like the present, Sameen." "Besides, if this is just another simulation, who cares if we die?" "(GUNSHOTS)" "Anyway, Schrodinger said, at its base level, the universe isn't made up of physical matter but just shapes." "(GUNSHOTS)" "I thought that might make you feel better." " Seriously?" "(GUNSHOTS)" "(GUNFIRE)" "(GRUNTS)" " A shape, you know?" "Nothing firm." "(GUNSHOTS)" "What it means is the real world is essentially a simulation anyway." "You are the last person I should have confided in about this." "(GUNFIRE)" "I like that idea, that even if we're not real, we represent a dynamic, a tiny finger tracing a line in the infinite." " A shape." "And then we're gone." "(GUNSHOTS)" "That's supposed to make me feel better?" "I'm a shape?" "Yeah." "And, darling, you got a great shape." "(GUNSHOTS) -(CHUCKLES)" "I swear to God, you flirt at the most awkward times." "I know."

"Three blocks." "You should have just left me." "Not gonna happen, Harry." "You're bleeding." "(GROANS)" "Please, we need to get you to a hospital." "Not a chance." "That's the first place they'll be looking for you." "You can patch me up when we get back to the subway." "You've had plenty of practice with John." "I'm so tired of this." "Everyone we've lost." "Elias." "They all made choices." "They all died for something they believe in." "And, anyway, the way I see it, they're not gone, Harry." "I mean, they're dead, but they're not gone." "(HORN BLARING)" "You must have figured this out." "I'm not in a metaphysical mood." "I'm not talking metaphysics, Harry." "(CHUCKLES)" "You built it, but you refuse to accept what you created." "I mean Shaw's a little screwy right now, but she's not wrong." "We're all simulations now." "In order to predict what we do, she has to know us," "and she's gotten better and better at it." "And the people she watches the most she knows the best, better than we know ourselves." "Nathan, Elias, Carter, they're all still in there." "The Machine is still watching over them." "She's watching over us, too." "She thinks you should take this." "Now." "May I ask why?" "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "(HORN BLARING)" " Might want to duck, Harry." "(GUNFIRE)" "SAMARITAN:" "Right." "5G."

"Now, all of yours just went up in smoke." "Poof." "And all I've got is a cover page to a file." "An interview with an unnamed man in a retirement home talking about his son." "Harold."

"Your rules have changed every time it was convenient for you." "I was talking about my rules." "I have lived by those rules for so long, believed in them for so long, believed that if you played by the right rules, eventually you would win." "But I was wrong, wasn't I?" "And now all of the people I cared about are dead, or will be dead soon enough." "We will be gone without a trace." "So now I have to decide, decide whether to let my friends die, to let hope die, to let the world be ground under your heel all because I played by my rules." "I'm trying to decide."
