Quotes 

• Senator Ross Garrison : I have to say, the early results are impressive. Samaritan has preempted multiple threats to National Security.

  John Greer : You're welcome, Senator.

  Senator Ross Garrison : Your machine seems to be even more aggressive than Northern Lights.

  John Greer : Samaritan is designed to be proactive. We can't afford to miss even one terrorist now, can we?

  Senator Ross Garrison : All assurances aside, what really concerns me is accountability.

  John Greer : Accountability?

  Senator Ross Garrison : It appears Decima Technology has been dismantled as a viable business entity, which makes me wonder, who exactly is getting the NSA feeds?

  John Greer : We had a deal, Senator. We get the feeds. You get the relevant numbers. What we do with that information is entirely up to us.

  Senator Ross Garrison : That deal offered us plausible deniability. If the public ever gets wind of Samaritan, I just hope you're somewhere to be found.

• John Greer : I wonder if our fine Senator has become more of a problem than asset. One that needs to be eliminated.

  Samaritan : [On phone screen]  NOT YET.

  John Greer : And what about Harold Finch and his associates?

  Samaritan : INVESTIGATION ONGOING

  John Greer : Oh, that's unlike you. Still, I'm sure whatever rock they decide to hide under, we'll find them as soon as they emerge.
