the non-relevants, but Finch only wants to help his friend. Nathan tell him that he’s meeting the
reporter at a ferry the next day and invites Finch to join him.
2013 — Root has a photo of Lawrence’s daughter Christine, hiding in LA, and hints that she
could be in danger if he doesn’t cooperate with her. To convince him that they know what they’re
talking about, Finch describes how the government would have shipped The Machine crosscountry.
Lawrence admits that he was the head of Northern Lights and that he’s the last surviving
project member.
The Machine gives Reese Lawrence’s current location, but also sends him a new Number. Sam
drives to a church where a jilted man is preparing to shoot a newlywed couple. Reese kneecaps
the man, offers his congratulations to the couple, and drives off.
Lawrence explains that the government gave him the plans specs for a nuclear storage facility
and the Army Corps of Engineers to build a structure in plain sight with enough power for 50,000
people. He caught a glimpse of The Machine and was impressed with its elegance, and realizes
that Root is in contact with it. The Machine tells Root that multiple threats are closing in and
she starts to lead Finch and Lawrence away. As Lawrence agrees to help Root free The Machine,
Hersh’s sniper takes him out. Root and Finch escape, with Root shooting two of Hersh’s men as
they go. Reese and Sam arrive and find Lawrence’s corpse, and Sam grabs the briefcase. They go
after Root, who has stolen a truck. When Reese calls Finch’s name, Finch ignores him and tells
Root that he’ll take her to The Machine. She drives off while Sam and Reese can only look on.
2010 — Hersh continues interrogating Asif until he admits that he as going to drive a van
filled with Semtex to the LIberty Island ferry, and then detonate it personally. Hersh shoots the
translator in the room and then injects Asif with a sedative, knocking him out.
Sam shows Reese a Portland baggage claim ticket that she found in Lawrence’s briefcase. One
of the three nuclear facilities is near there and they commandeer a car. Meanwhile, Root tracks
down a businessman and orders him at gunpoint to take them to his private jet so they can fly
to Portland.
As they head for the airport, Reese calls Carter to see what she’s doing. She tells him about
HR’s plan to kill Elias and admits that at least the crime lord is loyal to his people. Reese tells
her to keep her head down and hangs up as the police close in on their stolen car. The Machine
gives them to turn off in a few hundred years, but there’s no exit. Reese has Sam do it anyway
and they crash the guard rail and land near a helipad. The medevac team is having lunch and
stares in surprise as Sam and Reese get out of the wrecked car and take their helicopter.
That night, Yogorov and Terney take Elias out into the forest to kill him. Terney figures that
it’s karma since Elias’ father did the same thing to his son when he was a teenager. Disgusted,
Elias says that Terney is an oathbreaker and that Yogorov at least has a legitimate case for
shooting him. Terney puts a bag on Elias’ head and prepares to shoot him, but a black-clad
figure arrives and shoots Yogorov. After knocking out Terney, the newcomer takes Elias to a car
and gets him in. When Elias removes the bag, he discovers that his rescuer is Carter. When he
asks where they’re going, she says that she doesn’t know.
At the Portland nuclear facility, Root sets off a containment breach alarm and then walks in
with Finch. They go to the primary storage vault and The Machine informs Root that the code
has expired. An engineer comes in to tell them to evacuate, and Root forces him at gunpoint to
unlock the vault. She goes in with Finch to meet ”God,” and he warns her that she might be
disappointed. The vault is one huge room... with a caretaker sitting a table and nothing else.
Finch tells Root that he already set The Machine free, but she doesn’t believe him and prepares
to shoot him down. Reese and Sam arrive and Sam shoots Root in the shoulder. When Reese
asks him if he knew The Machine would be gone, Finch admits that he only hoped it.
The next morning, Control learns that Nathan has contacted a reporter and where he’s meeting
them. They realize that they already have a solution available.
Finch goes to the ferry to meet his friend. Meanwhile, Hersh drives the unconscious Asif to the
ferry dock and slaps him awake, after tying his hands to the steering wheel. When the terrorist
wakes up, he discovers that it’s his van, and the bomb is still in the back. Hersh tells him that
he’ll get to complete his mission after all and walks away.
Nathan spots Finch waiting for him and starts to come over, saying it’s time for them to face
the music. The van blows up behind them, destroying the ferry.
2013 — While Reese bandages Root’s flesh wound, Finch explains that he designed The Machine
so it could only accept alterations to its programming when attacked. He distributed his own
