Certainly the finest episode of the series, showing the deep human flaws as well as the redemption possible in all of us. The battle between the desire for revenge, and the need for the rule of law as primal struggle... Acting, direction, production, astonishing music (especially Johnny Cash "Hurt" best use ever), and flawless writing.
Very dark and painful, but with redemption. Kevin Chapman's "Fusco" eulogy for Carter places him and his writers in the top rank here. Jim Caviezel's "Reese" single-mindedness, pain and power, the deep character development of "Finch" and "Shaw", the power of Amy Acker's "ROOT", and many fine supporting roles show Writers, Actors and the Director in perfect harmony.
Superb.
