Quotes 

• Harold Finch : Mr. Reese, how's the Kruegers' party?

  John Reese : Delightful.

  Harold Finch : Have you learned anything?

  John Reese : Just that Krueger's got a lot of friend, he's happily married, and Shaw likes truffled quail eggs.

  Sameen Shaw : [Eating]  You can't expect me to shoot somebody on an empty stomach.

  Harold Finch : I'd prefer you didn't shoot anyone at all.

• John Reese : Wanna go to a party, Shaw?

  Sameen Shaw : Only if you promise to wear something pretty.

• John Reese : He's in Shaw's hands now.

  Harold Finch : I hope sending her in there was a good decision.

  John Reese : You doubt her ability to be discrete?

  Harold Finch : I doubt her ability to keep from shooting someone.

• Harold Finch : Mr. Reese?

  John Reese : Someone just turned Kruger's anniversary video into a sex tape.

  Harold Finch : Oh my.

• Harold Finch : [about LifeTrace]  They marketed themselves as a "People Search" service, where their users can look up old friends or relatives anyone they've fallen out of touch with.

  John Reese : Sounds harmless enough.

  Harold Finch : There is, however, more to it than that

  John Reese : Always is.

  Harold Finch : Their business isn't really about reconnecting people, it's about collecting and selling their information. He's a data broker.

  John Reese : What kind of data?

  Harold Finch : Anything you would ever wanna know about a person where they live, work, shop, eat, how much they earn, how they vote and more. Then he turns around and sells the information to businesses, individuals even the government.

  John Reese : Is that legal?

  Harold Finch : Technically, data brokers get their information from public records, but also from the ways people reveal themselves online whether they're aware or whether they're not.

  John Reese : Sounds a little like your machine.

  Harold Finch : A principle difference would be that the machine never reveals any of its information beyond the social security number.

  John Reese : So you're not a fan of Kruger's.

  Harold Finch : People like him are one of the reasons I made sure the machine was impenetrable black box.

• Wayne Kruger : Where am I?

  Harold Finch : Somewhere you won't be attacked by the people who are trying to kill you.

  Wayne Kruger : And you are?

  John Reese : Right now, your only option.

• Harold Finch : I made a call to Riverton's home office. Seems Collier, no doubt an alias, has not returned to work.

  John Reese : And I don't think he will.

  Harold Finch : He started four months ago as V. P. of customer analytics, a position that allowed him to get close enough to Kruger so that he could both witness and participate in the dismantling of his life.

  John Reese : He told Kruger there were others like him.

  Harold Finch : Yes, and I'm inclined to believe him. I discovered that the anonymous packages sent to Mr. Sommers and the others came through mail-processing centers scattered all over the country.

  Sameen Shaw : Could've saved on the postage and just shot him when they had the chance.

  [They look at her] 

  Sameen Shaw : I'm just saying it was an elaborate plan.

  John Reese : It wasn't just about killing Kruger. It was about giving the people he hurt a chance at retribution.

  Harold Finch : And also putting an ideology into action. Collier referred to Kruger's murder as "A lesson".

  John Reese : The first.

  Harold Finch : I fear that whatever his organization's ultimate goals may be, this could be just the beginning...

• John Reese : Someone's giving these victims everything they need to get back at Kruger.

  Harold Finch : It's turnkey revenge.

  Sameen Shaw : How many people in that class action?

  John Reese : Over 200. 23 in the tri-state area.

  John Reese : Finch, we can't stop that many.

  Harold Finch : It'd be fun trying.
