Quotes 

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
