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

Given their activities
in Washington recently,

128
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:38,140
Vigilance would have to be a suspect.

129
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:41,700
However, McCourt's been an outspoken

00:09:00,140 --> 00:09:01,340
with the real Agent Abbott.

177
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:05,260
He's resting comfortably
in a motel room near the airport.

178
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:06,540
Define "comfortably."

179
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:08,700
Gotta go, Finch.

The rules committee is meeting
in ten minutes.

You have your Journal interview
at 11:30.

182
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:14,950
Then lunch at Ocean Grill
with Cynthia Carol from Privacy First

183
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:16,860
to discuss your
anti-surveillance initiative.

184
00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:19,180
- Good morning, Leslie.
- Good morning, Congressman.

185
00:09:19,340 --> 00:09:20,340
Who's this?

186
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:23,020
This is Agent Abbott, Secret Service.
He's been assigned to you.

187
00:09:23,540 --> 00:09:25,460
- Because of the shooting?
- Oh, sorry.

188
00:09:25,620 --> 00:09:27,820
I was thinking more about
the business ahead of me today

189
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:29,190
rather than behind.

190
00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:31,230
Where you from, Abbott?

191
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:33,060
He's from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

192
00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:35,180
Tulsa, sir.

193
00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:38,820
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Good people, salt of the earth.

194
00:09:38,980 --> 00:09:41,180
And for tonight, tickets to the
Verdi opera at the Kennedy Center.

195
00:09:41,340 --> 00:09:43,860
Do I have to go to this?
This sounds like screeching cats.

196
00:09:44,020 --> 00:09:46,780
- You promised your wife.
- I could shoot you in the leg, sir.

197
00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:47,940
Pardon me?

198
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:50,340
Might get you out of the opera.

199

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

200
00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:55,300
Isn't that right, Duran?

201
00:09:55,460 --> 00:09:56,900
At one time, sir.

202
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:58,950
Well, if you show Abbott
some love here,

203
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:00,940
maybe he'll put in
a good word for you.

204
00:10:01,740 --> 00:10:04,140

with the stoplights today, okay?

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

00:10:29,340 --> 00:10:30,780
Is this about the airline contract?

210
00:10:30,940 --> 00:10:32,820
- They're trying to stick it to us, Mac.
- Yeah.

211
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:35,660
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
00:10:41,940 --> 00:10:46,100
I know it's a lousy contract,
but I do think that you ought to sign it.

216
00:10:46,260 --> 00:10:49,260
Unbelievable.
You backstabbing son of a...

217
00:10:49,420 --> 00:10:51,220
- Whoa, hold it, hold it.
- Think you can pull

218

this bait and switch with us,
we me, and get away with it?

219
00:10:53,460 --> 00:10:56,300
Looks like McCourt might have
crossed the wrong union boss.

220
00:10:56,460 --> 00:10:59,220
It's not a good deal,
but it does keep the plant open.

221
00:10:59,380 --> 00:11:01,540
And it puts you
at the front of the line

222
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:03,020
for a bigger government contract

223
00:11:03,140 --> 00:11:05,790
that's coming down
the pipe next year.

- Another contract?
- Yeah.

225

So you see, Bruce,
I am looking out for your guys.

the gun a little bit.

for getting himself out
of unpleasant situations.

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

Really? I thought you knew
a great deal about it,

252
00:12:39,580 --> 00:12:43,630
especially since the 2008 policy retreat
on Martha's vineyard

253
00:12:43,780 --> 00:12:46,910
when you were tapped
to shepherd the program.

254
00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:52,180
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.

The group responsible for leaking
your black budget to the press

calls themselves Vigilance.

designed to protect the country,

00:13:22,220 --> 00:13:25,820
yet it couldn't protect you from
this group when you needed it to.

00:27:51,340 --> 00:27:54,470
that Decima keeps making attempts on
your life, you'll have to stay with us.

520
00:27:54,620 --> 00:27:57,900
- You have our Decima friend's phone?
- I pulled out the SIM card.

521
00:27:58,060 --> 00:28:01,950
If you really wanna protect me,
why don't you just take me to the cops?

522
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:03,620
Law enforcement is no deterrent

523
00:28:03,780 --> 00:28:05,500
to the people coming after you,
Congressman.

524
00:28:05,580 --> 00:28:07,150
This is insane.

525
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:10,380
You've obviously done something
to attract their attention.

526
00:28:10,540 --> 00:28:12,270
Like What?

527
00:28:12,420 --> 00:28:14,310
Decima is a private
intelligence company

528
00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:18,140
developing a large-scale
surveillance program.

529
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:21,140
The type of program
that you've been vocally against.

530
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:22,950
Along with half the Congress. So?

531
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:25,500
But your position on the rules
committee gives you the power

532
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:27,980
to alter or halt legislation.

533
00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:30,870
Have you sidelined anything
that would affect Decima's plans?

534
00:28:31,020 --> 00:28:34,300
No. I don't know anything
about that company

535
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:38,180
or why they would wanna kill me.
This is all just a huge mistake.

536
00:28:39,140 --> 00:28:40,820
We're not getting anywhere here.

537
00:28:40,980 --> 00:28:42,820
Maybe Shaw's having some luck.

538
00:28:46,380 --> 00:28:48,030
You can talk or bleed out.

539
00:28:48,220 --> 00:28:50,900
You help us, we'll help you.

540
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:54,780
Suit yourself, tough guy.

541
00:28:54,980 --> 00:28:56,980
Hope it's worth dying for.

542
00:28:57,140 --> 00:28:58,630
That may not be necessary.

543
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,670
I was able to get into his phone
through a key vulnerability

544
00:29:02,860 --> 00:29:04,780
in the SMS encryption.

545
00:29:04,940 --> 00:29:07,380
I think we may
have misread this situation.

546
00:29:10,820 --> 00:29:11,820
Protect?

547
00:29:11,980 --> 00:29:13,580
Seems we're not the only ones
concerned

548
00:29:13,860 --> 00:29:15,460
with the congressman's safety.

549
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:18,790
So who are you supposed
to be protecting McCourt from?

550
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:20,790
(SCOFFS)

551
00:29:24,140 --> 00:29:26,220
I wasn't given that information.

552
00:29:27,380 --> 00:29:30,430
But in the week
we've been watching him,

553
00:29:30,580 --> 00:29:33,740
the only ones who have
taken a shot at him are you.

554
00:29:42,180 --> 00:29:43,180
Ah.

555
00:29:43,380 --> 00:29:45,380
You think maybe I could get a coffee?

556
00:29:48,540 --> 00:29:51,020
Or some water would be fine.

557
00:29:51,180 --> 00:29:53,660
Mr. McCourt, you're sure you
have no knowledge of Decima?

558
00:29:53,820 --> 00:29:55,180
I already answered that.

559
00:29:56,060 --> 00:29:59,540
- Why do you keep beating that drum?
- Because they're protecting you.

560
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:01,430
Protecting me?

561
00:30:01,580 --> 00:30:02,940
A minute ago you said
they were trying to kill me.

562
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:04,510
I did.

563
00:30:05,060 --> 00:30:06,550
Something doesn't add up.

564
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:08,820
Actually I think it might.

565
00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:12,030
I looked into your finances
earlier today, Congressman.

566
00:30:12,220 --> 00:30:13,260
You did what?

567
00:30:13,420 --> 00:30:17,220
I noticed your stock portfolio,
up 20 percent over last year.

568
00:30:17,380 --> 00:30:18,540
What are you getting at?

569
00:30:18,700 --> 00:30:20,140
Your trading activities.

570
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:22,540
Your portfolio is up 20 percent
due to trades

571
00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:24,460
you've made in the last two weeks.

572
00:30:24,620 --> 00:30:29,300
Trades that have increased in value
by over 600 percent.

573
00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:31,780
- So?
- So...

574
00:30:31,940 --> 00:30:34,380
either you're the smartest investor
in Washington,

575
00:30:34,580 --> 00:30:37,340
or you're getting
some very good information.

576
00:30:37,540 --> 00:30:39,060
Inside information.

577
00:30:39,220 --> 00:30:40,900
I don't like what you're implying.

578
00:30:41,060 --> 00:30:43,060
It's more than an implication,
Congressman,

579
00:30:43,220 --> 00:30:45,790
and it'll become a call
to an SEC investigator I know

580
00:30:45,940 --> 00:30:48,300
unless you're more truthful with us.

581
00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:52,150
Okay.

582
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:58,420
I know Decima Technologies.

583
00:31:00,780 --> 00:31:04,420
But they're not trying to kill me.
We have an understanding.

584
00:31:04,580 --> 00:31:06,820
What kind of an understanding?

585
00:31:06,980 --> 00:31:09,020
They were looking
for a little legislative support

586
00:31:09,180 --> 00:31:10,940
for their new surveillance program.

587
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:12,260
Support?

588
00:31:12,420 --> 00:31:15,310
You've been leading the charge
against government surveillance.

589
00:31:15,460 --> 00:31:20,020
Course I have. 'Cause I realized that
the government can't keep a secret.

590
00:31:20,180 --> 00:31:23,980
You look at Prism
and this Northern Lights mess.

591
00:31:24,140 --> 00:31:26,820
What do you know
about Decima's program?

592
00:31:26,980 --> 00:31:28,020
Not much really.

593
00:31:28,180 --> 00:31:30,990
Just that it's an alternative
to a government-run system,

594
00:31:31,140 --> 00:31:33,950
which, at this point,
should make everybody happy.

595
00:31:34,140 --> 00:31:38,190
And in return for your support,
you're getting insider stock tips.

596
00:31:38,340 --> 00:31:42,470
You're a couple of smart guys,
you know?

597
00:31:42,620 --> 00:31:46,100
Surely you understand that everything
that happens in Washington is a deal.

598
00:31:46,260 --> 00:31:48,620
And you're a dealmaker.

599
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:51,180
In case you didn't know,

600
00:31:51,340 --> 00:31:55,060
the business of governance...
is business.

601
00:31:56,220 --> 00:31:59,110
(POLICE SIREN IN DISTANCE)

602
00:32:08,540 --> 00:32:10,060
They're moving grid-to-grid
through the neighborhood.

603
00:32:10,300 --> 00:32:11,630
We need to make a move.

604
00:32:21,620 --> 00:32:24,300
Greer is positioning Samaritan
to replace the Machine.

605
00:32:24,460 --> 00:32:26,270
McCourt is helping Decima.

606
00:32:26,420 --> 00:32:27,750
We've been looking at him
as a victim,

607
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:29,100
but he's really a perpetrator.

608
00:32:29,260 --> 00:32:31,580
I'm not so sure. His involvement
is tangential at best,

609
00:32:31,780 --> 00:32:33,300
and he doesn't
know Greer's intentions.

610
00:32:33,420 --> 00:32:35,100
If he's not a victim or a perp,

611
00:32:35,180 --> 00:32:36,900
then why did the Machine
give us his number?

612
00:32:36,940 --> 00:32:39,700
What is it we're supposed
to be stopping?

613
00:32:39,860 --> 00:32:42,620
I'm not sure we're supposed
to be stopping anything.

614
00:32:42,780 --> 00:32:45,350
Finch, you said McCourt could
speed up or halt legislation.

615
00:32:45,540 --> 00:32:47,270
Yes, he's in
a unique position to remove

616
00:32:47,460 --> 00:32:49,350
any legislative
roadblock to Samaritan.

617
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:53,820
So without McCourt,
Samaritan doesn't get past Congress.

618
00:32:53,980 --> 00:32:57,380
And Greer wouldn't get access
to the NSA's surveillance feeds.

619
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:03,220
Then that's why we got his number.

620
00:33:04,260 --> 00:33:05,340
He is the victim.

621
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:07,980
His life is in danger.

622
00:33:08,140 --> 00:33:09,300
But from who?

623
00:33:11,580 --> 00:33:12,860
Us.

624
00:33:18,580 --> 00:33:21,260
I think the Machine
wants us to kill McCourt.

625
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:25,380
(ELECTRONIC CHATTER)

626
00:33:27,460 --> 00:33:29,620
- John, think about what you're saying.
- I have.

627
00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:31,860
Just because Decima
is not the threat to McCourt

628
00:33:32,060 --> 00:33:33,470
doesn't mean that we must be.

629
00:33:33,620 --> 00:33:35,460
The Machine is designed
to save lives, not take them.

630
00:33:35,620 --> 00:33:37,060
But could it?

631
00:33:37,260 --> 00:33:39,990
Could the Machine ever tell us
to kill someone? Is it possible?

632
00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:44,510
It's conceivable.

633
00:33:44,660 --> 00:33:46,470
Well, how bad would
the situation have to be?

634
00:33:46,620 --> 00:33:50,260
Bad. It would have to see
that an individual's actions

635
00:33:50,420 --> 00:33:52,620
could directly result
in the loss of others' lives.

636
00:33:52,820 --> 00:33:55,470
How many lives?
A dozen, a hundred? How many?

637
00:33:55,620 --> 00:33:57,900
A lot. I'm not sure.
I never dreamt it would come to this.

638
00:33:58,060 --> 00:33:59,820
Well, it has.

639
00:33:59,980 --> 00:34:02,900
Your machine,
it sees something coming,

640
00:34:03,060 --> 00:34:05,100
Something bad,
and it wants us to stop it.

641
00:34:05,260 --> 00:34:07,910
I don't know.
You don't know that.

642
00:34:08,060 --> 00:34:10,660
Look, I've never entirely trusted
your machine, but you built it,

643
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:12,390
and I trust you.

644
00:34:12,540 --> 00:34:14,820
You're the one who said
we can't underestimate

645
00:34:14,980 --> 00:34:17,220
the threat of Samaritan.

646
00:34:26,620 --> 00:34:28,190
Mr. McCourt...

647
00:34:29,780 --> 00:34:31,620
you have to call off
your deal with Decima.

648
00:34:31,780 --> 00:34:36,420
Their surveillance program
cannot be approved.

649
00:34:36,580 --> 00:34:40,420
What are you, one of those privacy
nut jobs? Is that what this is about?

650
00:34:40,580 --> 00:34:44,060
With access to the government's
surveillance feeds,

651
00:34:44,220 --> 00:34:47,900
Decima will be able
to acquire any information,

652
00:34:48,060 --> 00:34:50,260
any secret it desires,

653
00:34:50,460 --> 00:34:52,300
and sell it to the highest bidder.

654
00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:54,500
And that would be
the United States government.

655
00:34:54,660 --> 00:34:56,180
Perhaps, for now.

656
00:34:56,380 --> 00:34:58,950
But unbridled access

657
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:03,260
will create unlimited
opportunities for abuse.

658
00:35:04,380 --> 00:35:07,700
People will be ruined,
lives will be lost.

659
00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:10,700
The results will be nothing
short of catastrophic.

660
00:35:11,540 --> 00:35:15,700
These programs are always gonna
be controversial but also inevitable.

661
00:35:16,540 --> 00:35:19,060
People get up in arms
whenever they go public,

662
00:35:19,220 --> 00:35:21,900
but eventually the noise dies down,

663
00:35:22,060 --> 00:35:25,030
because the simple truth is

664
00:35:25,180 --> 00:35:27,420
that people wanna be protected.

665
00:35:29,340 --> 00:35:31,820
They just don't wanna know how.

666
00:35:35,380 --> 00:35:38,430
Oh, maybe I haven't
offered you the right incentive.

667
00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:39,660
So how much?

668
00:35:39,820 --> 00:35:41,100
Excuse me?

669
00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:44,820
To withdraw your support
for Decima's program, how much?

670
00:35:44,980 --> 00:35:48,110
Hey, you know,
I did this to keep the country safe.

671
00:35:48,260 --> 00:35:50,220
And, yeah,
maybe I got a little something

672
00:35:50,340 --> 00:35:52,070
for myself during the process.

673
00:35:53,180 --> 00:35:56,540
All that makes me
is good at what I do.

674
00:35:56,700 --> 00:35:59,270
I'm not calling off the deal.

675
00:36:07,340 --> 00:36:10,780
Looks like we've got company.
SWAT, feds, the works.

676
00:36:11,740 --> 00:36:13,470
Mr. Reese, it was never my intention

677
00:36:13,620 --> 00:36:16,300
for people to be killed
because of the Machine.

678
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:18,740
What do you think happened
when it gave the government

679
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:20,550
a terrorist number?

680
00:36:20,740 --> 00:36:22,150
What do you think
we used to do for a living?

681
00:36:22,340 --> 00:36:23,750
That man is not a terrorist.

682
00:36:23,900 --> 00:36:26,260
He's just an opportunistic
and corrupt pawn.

683
00:36:26,420 --> 00:36:28,780
That doesn't make
the threat any less real.

684
00:36:28,940 --> 00:36:30,590
We are not assassins.
We protect people.

685
00:36:30,740 --> 00:36:32,630
Isn't that what we're doing?

686
00:36:33,780 --> 00:36:37,060
Sacrificing the life
of one to save the lives of many?

687
00:36:37,940 --> 00:36:39,100
Shaw, help me out here.

688
00:36:41,220 --> 00:36:44,620
Six months ago, I would've already
put a bullet in that guy's head.

689
00:36:44,820 --> 00:36:47,020
But ever since hanging
around you guys, I've kind of

690
00:36:47,180 --> 00:36:49,500
gotten used to saving people
but we've only been able

691
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:53,100
to do that by trusting the Machine.

692
00:36:53,260 --> 00:36:55,740
And if it's saying
that this guy's gotta go...

693
00:36:57,460 --> 00:36:59,190
Well, I think
we should still trust it.

694
00:37:01,460 --> 00:37:04,270
John, I urge you to consider
the consequences of this action.

695
00:37:04,420 --> 00:37:07,470
There are consequences to not acting.

696
00:37:07,620 --> 00:37:09,860
Like with Simmons and Joss.

697
00:37:10,020 --> 00:37:11,430
Don't do this.

698
00:37:11,580 --> 00:37:14,100
If we let him walk out that door,
Decima wins.

699
00:37:14,260 --> 00:37:15,540
Samaritan will go live.

700
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:17,510
It's a possibility,
but not a certainty.

701
00:37:17,660 --> 00:37:20,020
There may be another way.
We've never been here.

702
00:37:20,180 --> 00:37:22,460
But are you really
willing to take that risk?

703
00:37:24,580 --> 00:37:26,020
Harold?

704
00:37:27,540 --> 00:37:30,940
Since we started this,
things have changed. We've changed.

705
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,100
But the mission, our purpose,
has always been constant:

706
00:37:34,260 --> 00:37:35,860
to save lives.

707
00:37:36,820 --> 00:37:38,900
If that's changed somehow,

708
00:37:39,060 --> 00:37:41,060
if we're in a place now

709
00:37:41,220 --> 00:37:44,140
where the Machine is asking
us to commit murder...

710
00:37:47,580 --> 00:37:49,700
That's a place I can't go.

711
00:37:50,620 --> 00:37:53,270
I'm afraid this is where I get off.

712
00:37:59,380 --> 00:38:00,540
John.

713
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:14,540
(MUTED SOUND)

714
00:38:50,260 --> 00:38:52,830
(MUFFLED GUNFIRE)

715
00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:17,300
Unh!

716
00:39:49,140 --> 00:39:52,500
MAN: You've had an opportunity
to consider my proposal.

717
00:39:52,660 --> 00:39:54,420
Will you help us?

718
00:39:54,580 --> 00:39:55,940
My colleagues and I would like to,

719
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:59,070
but unfortunately now
is not the time.

720
00:39:59,220 --> 00:40:01,500
Perhaps a demonstration
of my system's capabilities

721
00:40:01,660 --> 00:40:04,740
will convince you that your country
cannot afford to wait.

722
00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:08,070
Test in a limited area,

723
00:40:08,220 --> 00:40:11,030
say... New York City.

724
00:40:11,180 --> 00:40:14,260
Twenty-four hours,
quick, clean.

725
00:40:14,420 --> 00:40:16,340
Then we shut it down.

726
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:20,550
No guns, no police, just information.

727
00:40:21,340 --> 00:40:22,660
SENATOR:
What kind of information?

728
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:25,060
If the NSA provides us

729
00:40:25,220 --> 00:40:27,870
with New York City's
surveillance feeds,

730
00:40:28,020 --> 00:40:30,340
we will find you a terrorist.

731
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:32,420
SENATOR: You could find me
a thousand terrorists,

732
00:40:32,460 --> 00:40:35,460
but like I said,
we'll never get this through Congress.

733
00:40:35,620 --> 00:40:39,830
MAN: And as I told you, dissenting
voices would not be a problem.

734
00:41:10,860 --> 00:41:13,830
MAN:
It's time to remove those obstacles.

735
00:41:13,980 --> 00:41:15,870
(CELL PHONE RINGING)

736
00:41:16,020 --> 00:41:17,940
Answer your phone, Senator.

737
00:41:22,740 --> 00:41:26,100
How you doing, Garrison?
This is Roger McCourt.

738
00:41:26,260 --> 00:41:28,940
I understand you'll be
preparing some legislation.

739
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:30,180
Is that right?

740
00:41:30,340 --> 00:41:31,860
MCCOURT:
If you can handle the Senate,

741
00:41:32,020 --> 00:41:35,420
I can ensure that the House rules
facilitate a quiet passage.

742
00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:37,100
You can do all that?

743
00:41:37,260 --> 00:41:38,940
Absolutely, Senator.

744
00:41:41,940 --> 00:41:44,590
Okay. Let's...

745
00:41:44,740 --> 00:41:46,340
- do it.
- Excellent.

746
00:41:46,540 --> 00:41:49,540
Now if there's anything
else you need, just ask.

747
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:51,270
I'm your man.

748
00:42:26,420 --> 00:42:29,580
Virgil, are we operational?

749
00:42:29,740 --> 00:42:32,470
You're just in time
for the ribbon cutting.

750
00:42:32,620 --> 00:42:34,220
Feeds are coming online now.

751
00:42:34,420 --> 00:42:36,340
Commencing beta test.

752
00:42:40,020 --> 00:42:42,500
Okay, we have 24 hours.

753
00:42:42,660 --> 00:42:43,740
Splendid.

754
00:42:47,020 --> 00:42:50,070
Find me Harold Finch.
