Summary: Root explains to the captive Finch what she plans to do for the Machine.<br />
Meanwhile, Reese tries to track down his partner but discovers<br />
that the Machine is less than cooperative.<br />
After setting up the Machine on January<br />
1, 2002, Finch has it confirm that<br />
he is the Admin. For the next 3,791 days<br />
the Machine monitors Finch and Ingram<br />
talking about the Machine, Corwin warning<br />
Ingram that what they’re doing is illegal,<br />
and Finch recruiting Reese. Finally<br />
the Machine reviews the events of the last<br />
few days when Root, posing as Caroline<br />
Turing, makes sure that she picked as<br />
the next number and gets close enough<br />
to kill Corwin and abduct Finch.<br />
Reese tells the Machine via a traffic<br />
camera that he needs its help to find<br />
Finch. A nearby phone ring and when<br />
Reese answers it, a computer voice announces<br />
three three-word combinations and then disconnects.<br />
The Machine finally locates Finch in a diner with Root. When a police officer enters the diner,<br />
Root tells Finch that she knows that he cares about others so she will shoot someone else, not<br />
him, if he calls for help. When Finch wonders what she knows, Root says that she knows enough<br />
and doesn’t believe his denials. She tells Finch that they’re going to the future and that she’s<br />
been looking for him her entire life. During her life she’s been smart enough to do anything she<br />
wanted to and get away with it, until Finch stopped her by anticipating what she would do. Root<br />
knows about the Machine and Finch’s role in creating it, and points out that it didn’t protect<br />
him.<br />
When Carter returns home, she discovers Reese waiting for her. He assures her that her son<br />
is safe with a friend and then explains that Root took Finch. However, he doesn’t want Carter<br />
to file a missing persons report because he figures that Finch is off the grid for a reason. Reese<br />
wants Carter to run a check on Alicia Corwin, the woman that Root killed to get to Finch, while<br />
he chases down a lead.<br />
