Jay O. Sanders: Special Counsel

Quotes 

• Special Counsel : I always knew there was someone behind Ingram. Like a black hole. Invisible, but powerful. So tell me, where did you move the machine?

  Harold Finch : It moved itself.

  Special Counsel : But who controls it?

  Harold Finch : As of now, it controls itself.

  Special Counsel : The numbers, will they continue to come to us?

  Harold Finch : That will be up to the machine.

  Special Counsel : If they don't start up again, the country is defenseless.

  Harold Finch : No, just less well-defended. I think we both understand that what's at stake here has moved beyond simply defending the country.

  Special Counsel : Has it? You built the machine for us to use to protect people. We do, very well. Don't fight us. Help us recover it or rebuild it. You can dictate your terms. You have my word.

  Harold Finch : You gave my friend your word. And you killed him.

• Hersh : Shaw.

  Sameen Shaw : You should have killed me better, Hersh.

  Special Counsel : I know it's a minor matter compared to the total and utter catastrophe I'm looking at here, but I didn't think you'd turn traitor, Shaw.

  Sameen Shaw : That's a strong word to be throwing around given where we're standing.

• Special Counsel : How did it get moved?

  Caretaker : Exactly as you instructed. Over the last five weeks, one node at a time, so it was never off-line. Moved from here in containers marked for fissile materials. To where, I have no idea, which is what I thought was the point.

  Special Counsel : You didn't think to call to confirm?

  Caretaker : I did call. You confirmed it.

  Special Counsel : [Into his phone]  We'll find it, ma'am. With something that large, we'll find a way to track it. I'm sure - Yes, ma'am.

  [Passes the phone to Hersh] 

  Hersh : Yes, ma'am. I'll seal the room.

  [Shoots the caretaker, then turns the gun on Special Counsel] 

  Special Counsel : Fair enough.
