Endgame (2013)

Michael Emerson: Harold Finch

Quotes 

• Harold Finch : A woman sets a car on fire and attacks a drug shipment wearing a gas mask? Who does that remind you of Mr. Reese?

  Sameen Shaw : [Enters, Reese and Finch stare at her]  What are you guys looking at? All right, you're being weird.

  John Reese : This your handiwork?

  [Gestures to the video] 

  Sameen Shaw : I guess she does know her way around a 37 mil.

  Harold Finch : Ms. Shaw, you know something about this?

  Sameen Shaw : I know someone needed firepower. Reese had plenty, so I made a donation on his behalf.

  John Reese : [Looks at the video again]  Wait. That's my grenade launcher?

  Harold Finch : Oh, my God, that's Detective Carter, isn't it?

  [Shaw looks at him] 

  Harold Finch : Your social circle isn't terribly wide.

• John Reese : Finch, you doing a little spring cleaning?

  Harold Finch : I wish I was. I received numbers this morning. 38 of them, to be precise.

  John Reese : Maybe the Machine blew a belt or something.

  Harold Finch : It's not a lawnmower, Mr. Reese.

• Harold Finch : While I haven't decoded all the numbers, there does appear to be a common thread.

  John Reese : They're all cops.

  Harold Finch : Four of them are known members of HR, leaving a high probability that the rest may be as well.

  John Reese : 3 dozen members of HR, all about to commit a violent crime?

  Harold Finch : Or they've been targeted, and HR is under siege. Things are about to get chaotic, Mr. Reese. I've already contacted Ms. Shaw to enlist her assistance.

  John Reese : I'll see if Fusco's heard any rumblings around the Eighth of an HR conflict.

  Harold Finch : If we could locate the source of the threat, perhaps we could defuse the situation before it escalates.

  John Reese : Perhaps. Meantime, you might want to get Bear here fitted for a vest.

  Harold Finch : Vest?

  John Reese : Not like yours, Finch. Canine ballistic. For when things get chaotic.

• Harold Finch : While you were looking for Detective Carter, I received more numbers. It appears that HR has responded to the Russian threat in kind.

  John Reese : Guess it was only a matter of time until this escalated into an all-out war.

  Harold Finch : If you'll forgive my gallows humor, I'll put my money on HR.

  John Reese : Why do you say that?

  Harold Finch : Because they have something on their side that the Russians don't, Mr. Reese. The law.
