"Don't have any cold ones, just a couple of guys ain't ever gonna play golf again." "It's part of an ongoing investigation." "What do we know about the shooter?"

"FINCH:" "How did your research go?" "Inconclusive." "The number we've received is for a girl named Theresa Whitaker 15 years old." "Some disciplinary trouble, but basically a good kid." "Well the machine did spit out her number." "So she must be caught up in something." "Where can I find her?" "FINCH:" "As I told you, Mr. Reese this situation is somewhat unique."

""Presumed dead."" "It's a reasonable assumption." "The police only see what they choose to look for." "The machine sees almost everything." "If the girl's number has come up, she must be alive." "Then why hasn't she shown up by now?" "With the police or a relative?" "I don't know." "But if the machine is right and she's still alive, she won't be for long." "Better find her."

"They got me one step from fighting off a cell block of degenerates that I sent upstate." "They think I'm dirty." "That's because you are dirty, Lionel." "Look, your predicament is not my doing or my concern." "Name's Theresa Whitaker." "Two-year-old murder-suicide out in Bowery Bay." "Get me the file." "[CHATTERING ON MONITOR]" "I just can't believe that it came to this." "We knew they were having financial issues but I never thought that he would do anything like this." "That's because he didn't." "Wish that he would have come to me." "Wish that he would have reached out." "This was a professional hit." "Muzzle impressions were made after the fact." "Made it look point-blank, like the father did it." "Cops missed it." "And you know that how?" "That's how I would've done it." "So why didn't the shooter kill Theresa?" "That part I can't explain." "Or why she hasn't shown up anywhere else." "I tracked down a recent address for the aunt and uncle in Brooklyn Heights." "Might know what kind of trouble Whitaker was in." "I got a lead on another kid who might know her whereabouts." "Sealed juvie record on Theresa." "Seems she was picked up with an older boy for vandalism." "Deacon Page."

"In cases like this involving prolonged legal investigation it can take some time to settle out." "I'm surprised my brother-in-law even kept up payments on life insurance." "Does this mean they're gonna stop searching for Theresa?" "Her body, I mean." "The police have concluded their investigation." "You weren't satisfied?" "No." "It's just..." "We buried an empty coffin." "They said that the current would have taken her body." "And I was hoping that maybe it would, uh, bring her home." "I'm sorry, this is just dredging up some really difficult memories." "Not at all." "I can only imagine." "Derek never came out of the funk." "Sometimes you just lose people." "You don't have any contact information on your ex-husband?" "No." "We've barely spoken since we split." "I have an old cell phone number." "Good luck tracking him down." "Heh." "You might wanna mention there's money involved." "Have to ask, did you and Derek have any children?" "No kids." "Now I'm not even an aunt." "Smart as a whip, Theresa."

"Software engineer of the month." "It's very impressive, but it doesn't quite explain the private security." " The unlimited funds." "FINCH:" "No." "No, it wouldn't." "I did some digging down in HR." "Seems you've worked here for 17 years." "Only been promoted twice." "So how many of these people know you own the entire company?" "FINCH:" "None of them." "The best place to hide, Mr. Reese, as you well know, is in plain sight." "And if I speak too loudly?" "Say the wrong thing?" "The entire department could be overhauled." "Some would be reassigned." "Promoted." "Some would be fired." "REESE:" "I'll make it quick, then." "The good news:" "The girl is alive and, um, kicking." "Seems she has some trust issues." "I, uh..." "I lost her." "But I did figure out how she's been providing for herself." " She left this at an ATM machine." "FINCH:" "It's a skimmer." "It captures account numbers and PINs." "If she tries to sell these online, I might be able to track her down." "In the meantime, we need to figure out who killed her family." "And why." "Her uncle's hiding from a dozen different creditors." "But I'll find him." "And I wanna look at Grant Whitaker's finances much more carefully." "Good." "Because this was a hit for hire." "And I'm gonna look into the shooter." "How?" "Find out where I can hire one." "So who's your friend, Harold?" "Guy behind the bar's a fixer." "Takes a piece of most contract killings in the city." "If someone did wipe out the family, he might know who did it." "Hey, you don't talk to people who just walk into the joint." "Lionel, you worried about me?" "I'm touched."

"How about some of the other people you killed?" "Like the brother of that gang leader that lives on your cell block." "I'm sure he'd love to know his brother's last words." "Hmm?" "Ah." "I get it." "You're like me." "A killer." "A genuine bad guy." "Then I don't have to explain to you what happened to those people on that boat." "You already know." "What I don't know is why you let the girl live." "I wouldn't have killed a girl." "Not even if they paid me my quote." "I told her if anyone ever knew she was alive, I'd finish the job." "I don't kill kids." "Had some punk on my cell block last week say he heard I did it." "Told him the same thing." "Who hired you to do it?" "Some guy I met one time." "No names." "Cash." "Who hired you?" "REESE [OVER PHONE]:" "Guys who kill kids aren't popular in jail." "Solnick's been defending his honor." "The people that hired him may have found out he didn't kill Theresa." "Maybe they hired somebody new to finish the job." "[OVER PHONE] Why are they worried about a teenager?" "REESE:" "I don't know." "But we need to figure it out." "Fast." "Oh, I think I may have a lead." "Whitaker was sole investor in all his real-estate deals except one." "He bought a couple parcels of land with a real-estate holding company, Landale." "Landale." "Send me the address." "I'm on my way." "[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]" "FINCH [OVER PHONE]:" "Landale Financial." "Second floor." "Thirty million or so in holdings." "Principal is a guy named Calhoun."

"FINCH:" "That's gonna have to wait." "Theresa just tried to sell those account numbers online." "I'm tracing the IP address where she logged on." "It's at 89th and West End." "Get moving." "REESE:" "Is it a wireless network?" "FINCH:" "It is." "Maybe she's in one of the surrounding buildings." "REESE:" "Hey, you got me pretty good back there." "I'm not looking for a rematch." "I know what happened to you and your family." "I'm here to help you." "Just leave me alone." "The man that killed your family's in jail." "No one's gonna hurt you again because I won't let them."

"Do you have any idea who targeted your family?" "No." "Did it have anything to do with your uncle Derek?" " Is that why you didn't come to him?" " I don't trust him." "Why?" "What my dad said."

"I need you to stay here with Harold." "He'll take care of you." "Where are you going?" "I'm gonna pay a man a visit." "I hacked the uncle's cell-phone account."

"Landale Financial." "Where you were yesterday." " Who the hell are you?" " The deal your brother made." "Greenpoint." "Bunch of land out in Brooklyn ruined by an oil spill." "And now you're cutting a deal with them." "I tried to help Grant." "You helped him, all right." "Right into an early grave." "With no will." "Which means that land goes into probate." "And then to you, Derek." "Let me ask you this:" "Did you hire the hit man yourself?" "Or did you let Landale do it?" "I never meant for anyone to get hurt." "Grant, he swore that Greenpoint was gonna be the big one." "He didn't have enough to cover all the parcels, so I told him I knew these guys." "Calhoun." "Landale." " It all looked legit." " It's a front for dirty money." "And you set your brother up with them." "Grant swore it was gonna be a 10 bagger as soon as the government cleaned up the site." "But like everything with the government, it took too damn long." "Landale wanted their money out immediately." "So they took him out along with everyone in his family." " Just to get their money back out." " Made me the administer of probate." "It's the only reason why they didn't kill me." "I'm supposed to sign it over to them next week." "The kicker is that Grant was right." "Government came through." "They cleaned up the site." "Now it's worth 40, 50 times what they put into it." "So that's why they're still coming after her." "Theresa is the legal heir to that property." "Theresa, what?" "She's dead." "She's alive." "No thanks to you." "If you'd come forward, cleared your brother's name she might not have spent the last two years hiding from you." "You know, I went to see your Aunt Elizabeth." "She seems like a lovely person." "You tell her about me?" "No, of course not." "But she did mention how much she missed you." "She even showed me an old photo." "You know there's no changing what happened to your family." "But you do still have someone out there that loves you." "Yeah?" "What do you know?" "I know what it's like to lose someone." "And to feel the need to disappear." "But trust me, you don't want to leave people behind." "[CHATTERING ON MONITOR]" "When were you going to tell me?" "I wasn't gonna tell you, I guess." "I'd rather I didn't know myself." "INGRAM:" "All these people." "And this damn machine knew." "You knew that someone wanted to harm them kill them." "And you did nothing?" "You knew what we were building here." "This thing looks for plotters, for schemers." "It looks for malicious intent." "We built it to stop terrorists before they could act." "But a machine doesn't understand the difference between those crimes that are relevant to national security and the ones that are irrelevant." "Irrelevant?" "So you taught it the difference?" "You want to play God?" "Is that it?" "No, I don't." "That's the whole point." "There are exactly eight people in the world that know this thing exists." "If anyone else ever found out, there'd be such an outcry they'd turn it off." "The intelligence the machine produces has already foiled a half-dozen major terrorist plots." "How are we supposed to live with this?" "Knowing that someone out there needs help?" "Well, we don't have to." "I've coded the machine." "Every night at midnight, it deletes the irrelevant list." "We didn't build this to save somebody." "We built it to save everybody." "[CHATTERING ON MONITOR]" "Where's the girl?" "REESE:" "Kid's worth a fortune, Finch." "Land the father bought panned out 50-fold." "Landale wants it all." "Killed the whole family." "Expected to clean up after it cleared probate." "Till they found out the girl was still alive." "We know who ordered the hit?" "REESE:" "Calhoun." "The father's business partner." "I've got eyes on him." "He's walking." "So is Theresa." "Gotta go." "Wait, Theresa." "You know I can't keep up with you." "Can I ask you where you're going?" " I'm better off alone." " And how's that?" "It's safer." "I don't think so." "Please, sooner or later, you're gonna have to trust someone." "[DEREK PANTING]" "You can't kill me." "They need me." "Oh." "See you have vastly overestimated your value in this process."
