Summary: The Machine’s newest Number points to a hardware store owner living
in the suburbs. When Reese goes undercover, he soon discovers that
the man is hiding a dark secret from his past.
May 2004 — Finch and Nathan walk in
the park and Nathan talks about he and
his wife are still in a trial separation but
don’t want to talk divorce. He wonders
how anyone knows when they’ve found
the one special person in their life and
Finch admits that he has no idea. They
sit down at a bench and Finch uses a laptop
to check in with the Machine and use
it to provide a demonstration. He shows
Nathan how the Machine has determined
that a nearby man, an apparent homeless
person, is actually a former violin
prodigy with the Philharmonic who gave
into drink. Finch explains that he has
programmed the Machine to search for
outliers. Nathan doesn’t believe that level of programming is possible and Finch shows his partner
that the Machine has detected that Nathan is dating a graduate student during his separation
from his wife. He explains that he has programmed the Machine to understand human behavior
by watching everyone, even its creators.
The Machine suddenly brings up a file on a nearby woman, Grace Hendricks, who is painting
by the river. Finch can’t find any anomalies in her history and suspects that there’s a bug in the
Machine’s programming. Nathan comments that the Machine has good taste and Finch gives the
woman a second look.
The Present At the library, Bear licks the doughnuts that Finch has brought in for breakfast.
Reese comes in and unwittingly eats one, and Finch avoids telling him what happened. He does
tell Reese that they have a new number, Graham Wyler. Graham lives in the suburb of Far
Rockaway with his wife Connie and daughter Izzy, and the couple owns a hardware store. Reese
heads out to Far Rockaway and advises Finch not to buy doughnuts from the same bakery.
