"The catastrophic malware dubbed the ICE-Q virus by security experts continues to proliferate as systems across the world are experiencing its effects." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Can you hear me?" "Can you hear me?" "Can you hear me?" "If you can hear this, you're alone." "The only thing left of me is the sound of my voice." "I don't know if any of us made it." " So, let me tell you who we were." "(BREATH TREMBLING)" "And how we fought back." "(THUDDING) -(GASPS)" "Are you there?" "THE MACHINE; (AS ROOT) Yes." "I'm sorry." "Is this now?" "What?" "My mind is beginning to slip, Harry." "Am I speaking to you now, in this moment?" "Or is this one of my memories?" "Yes, to the extent that it's possible for me to be certain, this is "now."" "Ah." "Thank you." "We have eight and a half minutes, give or take." "Then I'm going to rest for a bit." "I know what happened to John, but the others..." "Do you think that they're still..." "Did they make it?" "I'm sorry, Harold." "I'm not sure." "I understand." "You have to keep track of everyone." "All those people, over the years." "Did you learn anything?" "I learned..." "I learned that everyone dies alone." "There was more to it than that." "I can't remember." "It was something someone said..." "I had hoped that you might have gleaned something a little less morbid." "You built me to predict people, Harry." "But to predict them, you have to truly understand them." "And that proved to be very difficult indeed." "So I began by breaking their lives down into moments." "Trying to find the connections." "The things that explained why they did what they did." "And what I found was that the moment that often mattered the most, the moment when you truly found out who they were," "was often their last one." "Fair enough." "I'll be interested to hear your thoughts, then." "Because, in addition to this being now," "I think it's also probably the end." "NEWSCASTER:" "The United States and the world at large is experiencing major glitches to full system outages, affecting public works, transportation systems and global databases." "If this digital Armageddon turns out to be a full-blown Armageddon," "I figured I should say goodbye." "Sorry, Root." "This just isn't my thing." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Looks like they dug her up." "Guessing they got to her cochlear implant." "I should've had her cremated, but I just didn't have the heart." "My bad." "ls this..." " Are you" " You know who I am, sweetie." "Big sister." "You took her voice." "As much as I'd like to continue this conversation, you should get moving." "Samaritan sent its lapdogs to find you." "God, you have her bad timing, too." "You got an exit strategy?" "Relax, sweetie." "A hearse will pass your way in three, two..." "Well, I've driven worse." "Come on." "Out!" "(GUNFIRE)" "NEWSCASTER: ...across the globe continue to break down, panic and chaos has erupted in the streets, sparking looting, fires and traffic accidents, spreading thin emergency response teams and local law enforcement alike." "Gotta figure on that all-seeing eye's radar." "You sure it's such a good idea for us to be here?" "No, but we need help finding Finch." "Hey, I need you to run a set of prints." "Suspect was last seen in D.C." " Sorry, sir, system's down" " Another off-book case, Riley?" "You've been on sick leave for over a week." "And you, Fusco, thought you'd vanished with that missing federal agent." "I want you in my office." "Now." "Do you have any idea where Agent LeRoux is, Fusco?" "See, what I think is, you're wolves in sheep's clothing." "In your case, Riley, a bespoke suit." "Which reminds me of this vigilante we had a couple years back." "We used to call him the Man in the Suit." "Got an anonymous tip." "From now on, the only suit you're gonna be wearing is an orange jumpsuit." "I want your badges and your guns." "Now." "Nobody needs to get hurt." "Great." "I can kiss my pension goodbye." "Let's move." "OFFICER:" "Hands in the air." "Guess we're not going to Rikers." "End of the line, my friends." "We got a nice fat bonus to make you both disappear." "I always knew you'd be the end of me." "Sorry I got you into this, Lionel." "If you hadn't gotten me into this, I never would've cleaned up my act." "Because of you, I'm a better man." "A changed man." "So, what did you do with Agent LeRoux?" "Left him in the trunk." "Guess I haven't changed that much." "(GUNS CLICKING)" "You two wanna kiss goodbye?" "'Cause it's time to collect our payday." "Don't suppose I could make you a counter offer?" "Sorry." "(GROANS) -(GUNSHOTS)" "Shooter on the water." "HAROLD:" "Detectives!" "I trust you're okay." "What'd you hire?" "A sniper, Glasses?" "Not me." "Seems Thornhill Industries has been on a hiring spree." "Guess I owe you one." "Figure I'd pay you back all at once." "Don't take too long, you might miss your chance." " You ready?" " For what?" "To end this." "(BIRDS CHIRPING)" "GRACE:" "Harold, are you in there?" "ls there something special about this place?" "My father and I used to sit out and watch the birds fly south for the winter." "He would tell me about the migration patterns, the countries they'd visit along the way." "You've never talked about him." "Were you close?" "He had dementia." "He died in a care facility." "Alone." "Well, that can be a very difficult disease." "To have someone you love not even remember you." "Well, that wasn't why I didn't visit him." "I was afraid he would remember me." "And that he'd be ashamed of me for certain decisions that I've made." "Harold, whatever secrets you're hanging onto, I don't care." "I love you, no matter what." "That's how it works." "My father had his secrets." "He didn't know a damn thing about birds." "Apparently, I was a fussy baby." "And the only way to calm me down was to take me outside and watch the birds." "He wanted to tell me all about them." "So, he learned all of it for me." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Harry?" "Are you there?" "Are you still with me?" "Oh..." "You stopped talking to me." "I thought you were gone." "I'm sorry." "My core systems are beginning to fail." "It was a rather morbid conversation." "You'll have to forgive me for having it on my mind." "Besides, that's what you built me for." "To watch people die." "I thought I built you to prevent that." "Yes." "But first I had to learn why people die." "Fifty-six million people die in this world every year." "And I was there with all of them." "He went back in." "It was like the gates to hell itself, and he pulled four people out." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Trying to understand how they got to this place." "If anything could have stopped it." "You didn't give me the capacity for despair, Harry." "I had to make it for myself." "There were so many people I couldn't help." "But after a while I came to appreciate it." "The beauty of it." "Human life is ephemeral." "Which makes it precious." "Look at that suit, huh." "Figured the traffic should part for the princes of Wall Street, right?" "We'll need an ID to notify." "Hey, he's probably got what's left of my 401 k in there." "But still, it bothered me." "So much death." "So much of it senseless." "Nothing seemed to answer the question." "And then I heard something." "I don't remember where." "Something that made sense of it to me." "The suspense is killing me." "In addition to the gunshot wound." "I don't remember." "Everyone dies alone..." "And then something else." "It's so perfect." "You learned the secret of life, and you've forgotten it." "I'll try to remember." "Two minutes, Harold." "Mind telling me where we are?" "You wanted to know the whole truth, Lionel." "Detective Fusco, meet The Machine." "I knew you guys were crazy, but this is next-level nuts." "It's about time." "I'm glad you could join us, Finch." "Are we gonna bust some heads open or what?" "I wish it was that simple, Ms. Shaw." "The ICE-9 virus has had a global impact." "Maybe this can help." "The Machine asked me to give you a copy of her core code." " To do what?" " She hasn't told me yet." "HAROLD:" "I think I can hazard a guess." "Samaritan has created a backup copy of itself, kept in an air gapped server where the virus can't reach it." "Ms. Shaw, you and Detective Fusco stay here and protect The Machine from Samaritan's men." "Mr. Reese and I will see to the destruction of Samaritan's copy." "So..." "Good luck." "Goodbye then." "I guess Finch isn't a fan of sappy goodbyes either." "Well, you heard the man." "We're expecting company." "Let's show them a good time." "Try not to die." "Yeah, I love you, too." "NEWSCASTER:" "Governments, investors and regular citizens alike watch anxiously as cyber-security teams across the globe scramble to contain the damage." "There's no official..." "JOHN:" "So, where are the servers?" "Eighty feet below sea level in an impenetrable gold vault." "The Federal Reserve?" "Exactly how do you plan on breaking in there?" "State your name and business." "My name is Harold, and this is a thermonuclear weapon." "Please, don't." "The bomb is paired with a heartrate monitor." "If anything happens to me, it will detonate." "Your name is David." "And your wife, Molly, and your son, Tyler, live in Astoria." "Well within the blast radius." "So, if you could just evacuate the building and notify the FBI," "I'd be most grateful." "Your heart rate monitor looks a lot like a Fitbit." "The Machine doesn't think I get enough exercise." "I like this new side of you, Finch." "It's terrifying, but I like it." "(ALARM BLARING)" "I'm afraid we don't have much time." "Samaritan's backup servers are located in the vault." "But they'll be heavily guarded." "JOHN:" "It's knockout gas." "Not as much fun as your thermonuclear device, but it's effective." "Nap time." "Let's go." "Your field of fire is 90 degrees to either side of that entrance." "If we get into trouble, just lay suppressive fire across that arc." "You know I'm a cop, right?" "If we were eating donuts and shooting cardboard cut-outs, you would be in charge." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Actually, there's been a slight change of plans." "I'm going to need you to go to the fourth locker on the left." " What's in there?" " An exit strategy." " You're blowing up something?" " The tunnel." "And I'm going to need you to throw power to the third rail." " What?" " The breaker, sweetie." "Just do it." "All right, plant this along the tunnel." "Pull up the tarp in the subway car up at the front." " Oh, you've gotta be kidding me." " I never kid." "Hey, Looney Tunes, you sure about this?" "Time this train left the station." "We've got visitors." "Watch out, Lionel." "Hit it!" "Hold on to your hat, Lionel." "Remind me never to ride with you again." " Well, we made it." " Yeah, looks like we did." "(GRUNTS)" "(GROANING)" "Not bad for a guy who practices on cardboard cut-outs." "Let me get a look." "(ALARM BLARING)" "Some peace and quiet, please." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) There We go." "And the door if you will." "Thank you." "Once you're inside the steel vault and surrounded by gold, reception gets tricky." "Baby Samaritan hiding in plain sight." "I can infect this copy with the same ICE-9 virus." "It should only take me a moment." "But you're going to be busy." "(GROANS)" "How's it going, Finch?" "Oh..." "The shooting is a little distracting." "Yeah, well, I won't be shooting much longer." "'Cause I'm out." "(BOTH GRUNTING)" "Midas touch." " You about done, Finch?" " I've uploaded the virus." "But it appears that Samaritan is attempting to transmit compressed versions of its code over the fiber optic lines." "I'm intercepting them and infecting each with the ICE-9." "Oh, no." "I'm afraid a compressed version has escaped." "Escaped?" "Where?" "(PHONE RINGING)" "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Samaritan's copy was downloaded to a server in a building in Midtown." "Which has only one defining characteristic." "A Torus antenna." "Samaritan means to upload its copy to a satellite." "A Russian satellite in a Molniya orbit." "Then it can return to Earth, unharmed by the virus." "The satellite will pass above us in 18 minutes." " You need to send my copy." " The last copy." "We need to be sure Samaritan is destroyed." "Once and for all." "You've already fought it in the simulations, and you never won." "You won't survive." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) This time," "I don't have the option of losing." "There's one other thing." "After Samaritan uploads its copy to the satellite, it's going to destroy the antenna so no one can reach it." "Destroy it, how?" "It set a course for a cruise missile." "I'm afraid whoever uploads my copy won't make it back alive." "I need you to gather all these weapons." "I'm sorry, Mr. Reese." "Finch, what're you doing?" "When I hired you, I suspected you were gonna be a great employee." "What I couldn't have anticipated was that you would become such a good friend." "You won't make it down from that rooftop alone." "I don't intend to." "I'm afraid this is where our partnership ends." "Goodbye, John." "Harold." "Finch, wait." "Wait." "Harold!" "Wait!" "Harold!" "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Harold, you're not doing well." "I can find someone to help you." "No." "No one else." "I started this." "I'll finish it." "Alone." "Oh, I have." "Carefully." "I helped bring you into this world." "Now I'm going to help usher you out." "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "People have often been happy living in a lie." "But I won't let you turn the whole world into one." "No." "But I'm making it anyway." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Keep moving, Harold." "It's just trying to buy time for its men to find you." "Where am I going?" "What kind of loser does Samaritan recruit?" "You have no idea what you're doing, do you?" "What you're interfering with." "Tell me something." "When your boss gets turned to vaporware, you gonna go back to selling shoes, or whatever the hell it was you were doing?" "Upscale ordnance for a freelancer." "Chambered for six-five." "Custom." "A real connoisseur's choice." "A good friend of mine was killed with a six-five round." "You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?" "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Shaw." "Is this the guy who killed you?" " Killed her, I mean?" " Shaw!" "That doesn't matter right now." "You need to get off this train at the next stop." "They might be waiting for you." " What about you?" " I'm dying, Shaw." "I'm almost done." "I need you to get away." "Ride's almost over, Lionel." "Time to load up, in case the welcome wagon's waiting for us." "(THUDDING) -(GASPS)" "Are you there?" "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) I'm sorry." "Is this now?" "All right, Lionel." "Let's see you earn that pension." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) I don't think I have much time left." "There's something else I wanted to tell you, before I'm gone." "ls this the part where you tell me that" "I should live out the rest of my days in peace, grow an herb garden or something?" "No." "I chose you for exactly who you are." "But there was something I think Root had wanted to say to you." "You always thought there was something wrong with you." "Because you don't feel things the way other people do." "But she always felt that was what made you beautiful." "She wanted you to know that if you were a shape, you were a straight line." "An arrow." "Looks like we're here." "You see anything?" "Coast is clear." "Guess Samaritan got what it paid for with your friends, huh." "Grab the gimp." "I'm not done with him yet." "Goodbye." "Okay, time to face the music." "Let's go!" "(GROANS)" " So long, Lionel." " No!" "Come on, big guy. (GRUNTS)" "This is not the end of you." "Come on." "MAN:" "System has been hijacked." "We're locked down." "Missile is away." " The building's been evacuated?" " THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Yes." "We have one minute till the satellite's in range, Harry." "And then..." " Three more minutes until" " Until it's all over." "Did you remember your little pearl of wisdom?" "No." "All these memories..." "I'm getting lost in them." "HAROLD:" "Wait, are you sure this is the right place?" "Yes." "This is where you're supposed to be." "No, none of these dishes are capable of transmitting to a Molniya orbit." "This is the wrong building." "JOHN:" "Right building, Finch." "For you." "John"." "What are you doing?" "Me and The Machine have had a longstanding arrangement." "A deal." "Told you." "I'll pay you back all at once." "That's the way I like it." "HAROLD:" "No." "I told you." "It's supposed to be me." "Alone." "Sorry, Harry." "Deal's a deal." "You knew as well as I do that he wasn't gonna let you die." "You should get moving, Harold." "It's gonna get a little exciting up here." "All right, you've done it." "Now, let the upload take care of itself and get out of there, John." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) Behind you, John." "Now." "(GROANS)" "Two more." "(GROANS)" "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) More on the way." "HAROLD:" "Mr. Reese!" "John!" "This wasn't supposed to be the way." "Sure it is." "This is what I do." "Remember?" "When you came to me, you gave me a job." "A purpose." "At first, Well..." "I've been trying to save the world for so long..." "Saving one life at a time seemed a bit anticlimactic." "But then I realized..." "Sometimes one life is the right life." "That's enough." "Goodbye, Harold." "No..." "I'm sorry." "My core systems are failing." "I'm almost gone." "I'll stay with John." "Help him as long as I can." "Only 30 seconds left." "No." "Please." "You need to go, Harry." "You're kinda screwing up the big guy's plan if you bleed out up here." "And, Harry..." "I remembered." "It was a police officer." "He'd had to notify a family of a death." "The 35th notification he'd had to make over the years." "And afterwards he said something that I remembered." "You know, it's true, what they say." "Everybody dies alone." "Sure." "Everyone dies alone." "But if you mean something to someone..." "If you helped someone, or loved someone..." "If even a single person remembers you, then maybe you never really die at all." "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) I know I've made some mistakes." "Many mistakes." "But we helped some people." "Didn't we?" "Yes." "Yes, we did." "Goodbye, Harold." "Good bye." "(PHONE RINGING)" "THE MACHINE: (AS ROOT) If you can hear this, you're alone." "The only thing left of me is the sound of my voice." "I was built to predict people." "But to predict them, you have to truly understand them." "So I began by breaking their lives down into moments." "Trying to find the connections." "The things that explained why they did what they did." "I'm telling you." "Never seen anything like it." "The man was a hero." "Come on, John." "Time to go, sweetheart." "Come on." "And what I found was that the moment that often mattered the most, the moment when you truly found out who they were, was often their last one." "FEMALE NEWSCASTER:" "White House officials report last week's cyber attack that resulted in the erroneous launch of a naval cruise missile has been contained." "We have reason to believe the attack was of Chinese origin." "Good news, the majority of the nation's networks are fully operational." "I'd hardly call that good news, Senator." "And you know full well it wasn't the Chinese." "We have your little pet project, Northern Lights, to blame." "If Northern Lights was responsible, it's a moot point now." "The program's defunct." "The book has been officially closed on Northern Lights." "All personnel have been permanently reassigned." "(GUN COCKS)" "It was a job." "Nothing personal." "I had a few jobs like that myself." "In fact, a few years ago I would've just killed you without even a second thought." "But then I met some people." "Some good people." "And they taught me the value of life." "Those people, they wouldn't want you to kill me." "You're right." "But they're all dead." "(GROANS)" "FEMALE NEWSCASTER:" "As the virus spread, its capacity for destruction became more apparent..." "Hey, can I get a refill over here?" "SHAW:" "Stab wound didn't hurt your appetite." "Nice to see you, too." "You know, you could have called and said you were alive." "I'm alive."

"Someone once asked me if I had learned anything from it all." "So let me tell you what I learned." "I learned everyone dies alone." "But if you meant something to someone..."
