- The Machine: Harry, I remembered. It was a police officer. He 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.
- Younger Cop: You know it's true what they say. Everybody dies alone.
- Older Cop: Sure. Everyone dies alone. But, if you *mean* something to someone... if you help someone... or loved someone... if even a single person remembers you... then maybe you never really die at all.
- The Machine: You know I've made some mistakes. *Many* mistakes. But, we helped some people. Didn't we?
- Harold Finch: Yes.
- [firmly]
- Harold Finch: Yes, we did.
- Harold Finch: Mr. Reese. John? This wasn't supposed to be the way.
- John Reese: 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'd been trying to save the world for so long... saving one life at a time seemed a bit anticlimactic. Then I realized... sometimes one life... if it's the right life... is enough.
- The Machine: [Staying with John until his last moment] 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. 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.
- Harold Finch: [to John] When I hired you, I suspected you were gonna be a great employee. What I couldn't have anticipated was that you would become
- [chokes up]
- Harold Finch: such a good friend.
- Machine: ''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... If you helped someone... Or loved someone... If even a single person remembers you... Then maybe you never really die. And maybe... this isn't the end at all.''
- John Reese: [Smiling as he is about to sacrifice himself for his friend, Harold] Told you. Pay you back all at once. That's the way I like it.
- The Machine: I don't remember. Everyone dies alone and... And something else.
- Harold Finch: [laughing] It's so perfect. You've learned the secret of life and you've forgotten it.
- Jeff Blackwell: That was a job. Nothing personal.
- Sameen Shaw: I had a few jobs like that myself. In fact I would have just killed you without a second thought. But then I met some people. Some good people. And they taught me the value of life.
- Jeff Blackwell: Those people. They wouldn't want you to kill me.
- Sameen Shaw: You're right. But they are all dead.
- [shots him multiple times]
- Sameen Shaw: 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
- Lionel Fusco: You know I'm a cop, right?
- Sameen Shaw: [hands him an assault rifle] If we were eating donuts or shooting cardboard cutouts you would be in charge.
- Samaritan: Harold Finch. Consider. Your. Actions.
- Harold Finch: Oh, I have. Carefully. I helped you into this world, now I'm going to help usher you out.
- Samaritan: This. Is. The. World. They. Made.
- [screen changes, showing multiple pictures of people suffering]
- Samaritan: But. I. Can. Save. Them.
- Harold Finch: People have often been happy living in a lie. But I won't let you turn the whole world into one.
- Samaritan: Is. It. Really. Your. Decision. To. Make?
- Harold Finch: No. But I'm making it anyway.
- Harold Finch: Detective Fusco, meet The Machine.
- Lionel Fusco: I knew you guys were crazy, but this is next level, nuts.
- Harold Finch: [after Reese and Fusco are saved from their killers by unknown shooters] Detectives. I trust you are okay.
- Lionel Fusco: What did you hire, sniper, Glasses?
- Harold Finch: Not me. It seems Thornhill Industries has been on a hiring spree.
- John Reese: Guess I owe you one. Figure I'd pay you back all at once.
- Harold Finch: Don't take too long, you might miss your chance. You're ready?
- Lionel Fusco: For what?
- Harold Finch: To end this.
- Harold Finch: [trapping Reese inside a heavily guarded gold vault] I'm sorry Mr. Reese.
- John Reese: Finch, what are you doing?
- Harold Finch: When I hired you, I suspected you are gonna be a great employee. What I couldn't have anticipated... was that you'd become... such a good friend.
- John Reese: You won't make it down from that rooftop alone.
- Harold Finch: I don't intend to. I'm afraid this is where our partnership is... Goodbye, John.
- John Reese: Harold? Finch, wait. Wait! HAROLD? WAIT.
- John Reese: So what did you do with Agent LeRoux?
- Lionel Fusco: Lost him in a trunk. Guess I haven't changed that much.
- John Reese: How's it going Finch?
- Harold Finch: Ooh, the shooting is a little distracting.
- John Reese: Yeah, well I won't be shooting much longer... Because I'm out.
