Person of Interest2011

Special Counsel:
I always knew there was someone behind Ingram. Like a black hole. Invisible, but powerful. So tell me, where did you move the machine?

Harold Finch:
It moved itself.

Special Counsel:
But who controls it?

Harold Finch:
As of now, it controls itself.

Special Counsel:
The numbers, will they continue to come to us?

Harold Finch:
That will be up to the machine.

Special Counsel:
If they don't start up again, the country is defenseless.

Harold Finch:
No, just less well-defended. I think we both understand that what's at stake here has moved beyond simply defending the country.

Special Counsel:
Has it? You built the machine for us to use to protect people. We do, very well. Don't fight us. Help us recover it or rebuild it. You can dictate your terms. You have my word.

Harold Finch:
You gave my friend your word. And you killed him.
