involving ordinary people.

far outstripping any other program.

Samaritan is an open system, a sword.

If it gains access
to the government's feeds,

If he has that much power,
he'll have plenty of enemies.

Given their activities
in Washington recently,
128
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,124
Vigilance would have to be a suspect.
129

However, McCourt's been an outspoken

00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,326
with the real Agent Abbott.
177
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,246
He's resting comfortably
in a motel room near the airport.
178
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,526
Define "comfortably."
179
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:08,681
Gotta go, Finch.

00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,171
The rules committee is meeting
in ten minutes.

You have your Journal interview
at 11:30.
182
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,931
Then lunch at Ocean Grill
with Cynthia Carol from Privacy First
183
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,844
to discuss your
anti-surveillance initiative.
184
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,162
- Good morning, Leslie.
- Good morning, Congressman.
185
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,321
Who's this?
186
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,000
This is Agent Abbott, Secret Service.
He's been assigned to you.
187
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,443
- Because of the shooting?
- Oh, sorry.
188
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,800
I was thinking more about
the business ahead of me today
189
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,171
rather than behind.
190
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,209
Where you from, Abbott?
191
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,045
He's from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
192
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,161
Tulsa, sir.
193
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,802
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Good people, salt of the earth.
194
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,167
And for tonight, tickets to the
Verdi opera at the Kennedy Center.
195
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,846
Do I have to go to this?
This sounds like screeching cats.
196
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,765
- You promised your wife.
- I could shoot you in the leg, sir.
197
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,921
Pardon me?
198
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,325
Might get you out of the opera.
199

You know, Duran here,
he always wanted to be Secret Service.
200

Isn't that right, Duran?

At one time, sir.
202
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,929
Well, if you show Abbott
some love here,
203
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,923
maybe he'll put in
a good word for you.
204

with the stoplights today, okay?

Dunphy. You should've called first.
My office is slammed this morning.

00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,765
Is this about the airline contract?
210
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,800
- They're trying to stick it to us, Mac.
- Yeah.
211
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,641
Now I'm hearing you might be taking
their side instead of the union's?
212

part of the leadership
of the Illinois Machinists Union.
215
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,084
I know it's a lousy contract,
but I do think that you ought to sign it.
216
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,244
Unbelievable.
You backstabbing son of a...
217
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,200
- Whoa, hold it, hold it.
- Think you can pull
218
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,282
this bait and switch with us,
we me, and get away with it?
219
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,284
Looks like McCourt might have
crossed the wrong union boss.
220
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,205
It's not a good deal,
but it does keep the plant open.
221
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,522
And it puts you
at the front of the line
222
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,000
for a bigger government contract
223
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,771
that's coming down
the pipe next year.
224
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,410
- Another contract?
- Yeah.
225

So you see, Bruce,
I am looking out for your guys.
226
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,928

the gun a little bit.

unfortunately the opera was sold out.

for getting himself out
of unpleasant situations.

found in there.

I've already made it clear
I have no knowledge of that project.

00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,403
Really? I thought you knew
a great deal about it,
252
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:43,610
especially since the 2008 policy retreat
on Martha's vineyard
253
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,889
when you were tapped
to shepherd the program.
254
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,161
Surely you didn't think, in a world
where you were surveilling everyone,

that no one was watching you.

As I told you, to help.

your black budget to the press

calls themselves Vigilance.

designed to protect the country,

00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,807
yet it couldn't protect you from
this group when you needed it to.

a similar path with mixed results.

00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,449
that Decima keeps making attempts on
your life, you'll have to stay with us.
520
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,888
- You have our Decima friend's phone?
- I pulled out the SIM card.
521
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,931
If you really wanna protect me,
why don't you just take me to the cops?
522
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,605
Law enforcement is no deterrent
523
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,480
to the people coming after you,
Congressman.
524
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,130
This is insane.
525
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,363
You've obviously done something
to attract their attention.
526
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,249
Like What?
527
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,289
Decima is a private
intelligence company
528
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,126
developing a large-scale
surveillance program.
529
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,124
The type of program
that you've been vocally against.
530
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,930
Along with half the Congress. So?
531
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,481
But your position on the rules
committee gives you the power
532
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,967
to alter or halt legislation.
533
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:30,851
Have you sidelined anything
that would affect Decima's plans?
534
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,288
No. I don't know anything
about that company
535
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,166
or why they would wanna kill me.
This is all just a huge mistake.
536
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,804
We're not getting anywhere here.
537
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,803
Maybe Shaw's having some luck.
538
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,010
You can talk or bleed out.
539
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,885
You help us, we'll help you.
540
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,764
Suit yourself, tough guy.
541
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,962
Hope it's worth dying for.
542
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,610
That may not be necessary.
543
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,651
I was able to get into his phone
through a key vulnerability
544
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,763
in the SMS encryption.
545
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,366
I think we may
have misread this situation.
546
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:11,801
Protect?
547
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,564
Seems we're not the only ones
concerned
548
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,444
with the congressman's safety.
549
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,770
So who are you supposed
to be protecting McCourt from?
550
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,769
(SCOFFS)
551
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,202
I wasn't given that information.
552
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,409
But in the week
we've been watching him,
553
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,723
the only ones who have
taken a shot at him are you.
554
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,161
Ah.
555
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,362
You think maybe I could get a coffee?
556
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,000
Or some water would be fine.
557
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,640
Mr. McCourt, you're sure you
have no knowledge of Decima?
558
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,165
I already answered that.
559
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,522
- Why do you keep beating that drum?
- Because they're protecting you.
560
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,409
Protecting me?
561
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,925
A minute ago you said
they were trying to kill me.
562
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,491
I did.
563
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,530
Something doesn't add up.
564
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,808
Actually I think it might.
565
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,009
I looked into your finances
earlier today, Congressman.
566
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,247
You did what?
567
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,200
I noticed your stock portfolio,
up 20 percent over last year.
568
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,521
What are you getting at?
569
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,125
Your trading activities.
570
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,521
Your portfolio is up 20 percent
due to trades
571
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,444
you've made in the last two weeks.
572
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,288
Trades that have increased in value
by over 600 percent.
573
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,761
- So?
- So...
574
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,366
either you're the smartest investor
in Washington,
575
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,325
or you're getting
some very good information.
576
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,045
Inside information.
577
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,884
I don't like what you're implying.
578
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,042
It's more than an implication,
Congressman,
579
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,771
and it'll become a call
to an SEC investigator I know
580
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,287
unless you're more truthful with us.
581
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,130
Okay.
582
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,408
I know Decima Technologies.
583
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,401
But they're not trying to kill me.
We have an understanding.
584
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,801
What kind of an understanding?
585
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,008
They were looking
for a little legislative support
586
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,924
for their new surveillance program.
587
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,241
Support?
588
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,290
You've been leading the charge
against government surveillance.
589
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,002
Course I have. 'Cause I realized that
the government can't keep a secret.
590
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,960
You look at Prism
and this Northern Lights mess.
591
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,805
What do you know
about Decima's program?
592
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,007
Not much really.
593
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,970
Just that it's an alternative
to a government-run system,
594
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,930
which, at this point,
should make everybody happy.
595
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,170
And in return for your support,
you're getting insider stock tips.
596
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,450
You're a couple of smart guys,
you know?
597
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,082
Surely you understand that everything
that happens in Washington is a deal.
598
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,607
And you're a dealmaker.
599
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,164
In case you didn't know,
600
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,041
the business of governance...
is business.
601
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,090
(POLICE SIREN IN DISTANCE)
602
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,045
They're moving grid-to-grid
through the neighborhood.
603
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,611
We need to make a move.
604
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,285
Greer is positioning Samaritan
to replace the Machine.
605
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,249
McCourt is helping Decima.
606
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,731
We've been looking at him
as a victim,
607
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,086
but he's really a perpetrator.
608
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,561
I'm not so sure. His involvement
is tangential at best,
609
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,280
and he doesn't
know Greer's intentions.
610
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,084
If he's not a victim or a perp,
611
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,880
then why did the Machine
give us his number?
612
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,685
What is it we're supposed
to be stopping?
613
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,605
I'm not sure we're supposed
to be stopping anything.
614
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,331
Finch, you said McCourt could
speed up or halt legislation.
615
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,249
Yes, he's in
a unique position to remove
616
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,329
any legislative
roadblock to Samaritan.
617
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,804
So without McCourt,
Samaritan doesn't get past Congress.
618
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,362
And Greer wouldn't get access
to the NSA's surveillance feeds.
619
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,205
Then that's why we got his number.
620
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,321
He is the victim.
621
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:07,966
His life is in danger.
622
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,281
But from who?
623
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:12,846
Us.
624
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,245
I think the Machine
wants us to kill McCourt.
625
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,364
(ELECTRONIC CHATTER)
626
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,602
- John, think about what you're saying.
- I have.
627
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,842
Just because Decima
is not the threat to McCourt
628
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,451
doesn't mean that we must be.
629
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,443
The Machine is designed
to save lives, not take them.
630
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,045
But could it?
631
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,971
Could the Machine ever tell us
to kill someone? Is it possible?
632
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,489
It's conceivable.
633
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,449
Well, how bad would
the situation have to be?
634
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,241
Bad. It would have to see
that an individual's actions
635
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,607
could directly result
in the loss of others' lives.
636
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,451
How many lives?
A dozen, a hundred? How many?
637
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,887
A lot. I'm not sure.
I never dreamt it would come to this.
638
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,804
Well, it has.
639
00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:02,884
Your machine,
it sees something coming,
640
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,088
Something bad,
and it wants us to stop it.
641
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,891
I don't know.
You don't know that.
642
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,646
Look, I've never entirely trusted
your machine, but you built it,
643
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,370
and I trust you.
644
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,807
You're the one who said
we can't underestimate
645
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,201
the threat of Samaritan.
646
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,170
Mr. McCourt...
647
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,603
you have to call off
your deal with Decima.
648
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:36,402
Their surveillance program
cannot be approved.
649
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,406
What are you, one of those privacy
nut jobs? Is that what this is about?
650
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,042
With access to the government's
surveillance feeds,
651
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,886
Decima will be able
to acquire any information,
652
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,247
any secret it desires,
653
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,283
and sell it to the highest bidder.
654
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,482
And that would be
the United States government.
655
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,165
Perhaps, for now.
656
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,931
But unbridled access
657
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,244
will create unlimited
opportunities for abuse.
658
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,682
People will be ruined,
lives will be lost.
659
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,684
The results will be nothing
short of catastrophic.
660
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,684
These programs are always gonna
be controversial but also inevitable.
661
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,046
People get up in arms
whenever they go public,
662
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,885
but eventually the noise dies down,
663
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,010
because the simple truth is
664
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,401
that people wanna be protected.
665
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,800
They just don't wanna know how.
666
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,409
Oh, maybe I haven't
offered you the right incentive.
667
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,641
So how much?
668
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,086
Excuse me?
669
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,807
To withdraw your support
for Decima's program, how much?
670
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,089
Hey, you know,
I did this to keep the country safe.
671
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:50,208
And, yeah,
maybe I got a little something
672
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,049
for myself during the process.
673
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,528
All that makes me
is good at what I do.
674
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,251
I'm not calling off the deal.
675
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,767
Looks like we've got company.
SWAT, feds, the works.
676
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:13,449
Mr. Reese, it was never my intention
677
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,285
for people to be killed
because of the Machine.
678
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,721
What do you think happened
when it gave the government
679
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,530
a terrorist number?
680
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:22,131
What do you think
we used to do for a living?
681
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,731
That man is not a terrorist.
682
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,247
He's just an opportunistic
and corrupt pawn.
683
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,767
That doesn't make
the threat any less real.
684
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,570
We are not assassins.
We protect people.
685
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:32,609
Isn't that what we're doing?
686
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,048
Sacrificing the life
of one to save the lives of many?
687
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,081
Shaw, help me out here.
688
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,602
Six months ago, I would've already
put a bullet in that guy's head.
689
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,007
But ever since hanging
around you guys, I've kind of
690
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,481
gotten used to saving people
but we've only been able
691
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,082
to do that by trusting the Machine.
692
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:55,720
And if it's saying
that this guy's gotta go...
693
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,169
Well, I think
we should still trust it.
694
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,250
John, I urge you to consider
the consequences of this action.
695
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,449
There are consequences to not acting.
696
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,841
Like with Simmons and Joss.
697
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,411
Don't do this.
698
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,086
If we let him walk out that door,
Decima wins.
699
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,526
Samaritan will go live.
700
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,489
It's a possibility,
but not a certainty.
701
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,007
There may be another way.
We've never been here.
702
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,447
But are you really
willing to take that risk?
703
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,005
Harold?
704
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,922
Since we started this,
things have changed. We've changed.
705
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,084
But the mission, our purpose,
has always been constant:
706
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:35,844
to save lives.
707
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,882
If that's changed somehow,
708
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,042
if we're in a place now
709
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,124
where the Machine is asking
us to commit murder...
710
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,688
That's a place I can't go.
711
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,251
I'm afraid this is where I get off.
712
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,521
John.
713

(MUTED SOUND)
714
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:52,811
(MUFFLED GUNFIRE)
715
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,282
Unh!
716
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,488
MAN: You've had an opportunity
to consider my proposal.
717
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,404
Will you help us?
718
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:55,920
My colleagues and I would like to,
719
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,050
but unfortunately now
is not the time.
720
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,487
Perhaps a demonstration
of my system's capabilities
721
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,723
will convince you that your country
cannot afford to wait.
722
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,051
Test in a limited area,
723
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,010
say... New York City.
724
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,243
Twenty-four hours,
quick, clean.
725
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,323
Then we shut it down.
726
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,530
No guns, no police, just information.
727
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,640
SENATOR:
What kind of information?
728
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,047
If the NSA provides us
729
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,851
with New York City's
surveillance feeds,
730
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,321
we will find you a terrorist.
731
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,400
SENATOR: You could find me
a thousand terrorists,
732
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,444
but like I said,
we'll never get this through Congress.
733
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,810
MAN: And as I told you, dissenting
voices would not be a problem.
734
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,810
MAN:
It's time to remove those obstacles.
735
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,849
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
736
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,923
Answer your phone, Senator.
737
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:26,088
How you doing, Garrison?
This is Roger McCourt.
738
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:28,925
I understand you'll be
preparing some legislation.
739
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,161
Is that right?
740
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,845
MCCOURT:
If you can handle the Senate,
741
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,402
I can ensure that the House rules
facilitate a quiet passage.
742
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,085
You can do all that?
743
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:38,924
Absolutely, Senator.
744
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,571
Okay. Let's...
745
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:46,324
- do it.
- Excellent.
746
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,524
Now if there's anything
else you need, just ask.
747
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,250
I'm your man.
748
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,563
Virgil, are we operational?
749
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:32,451
You're just in time
for the ribbon cutting.
750
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,204
Feeds are coming online now.
751
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,323
Commencing beta test.
752
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,480
Okay, we have 24 hours.
753
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,721
Splendid.
754
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,049
Find me Harold Finch.
