Quotes
-
Harold Finch : [Root has Weeks strung up with a hood over his head] Can you please make this stop?
Root : Another hour in that hood, and he'll believe anything I say. Amazing how easily the human brain can be manipulated.
[Goes to Weeks, removes the hood]
Root : But you know that, don't you, Denton?
[Root holds up a sheet of paper]
Root : A top-secret DOD memo authorizing enhanced interrogation techniques, including "Palestinian hanging," which you are currently enjoying. Whose signature is at the end? Why, it's yours.
Denton Weeks : Please water.
Root : [Mockingly checks the document] Sorry, not allowed. Unless you tell me what I want to know.
Denton Weeks : Lady, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a White House lawyer. I sign documents. I don't read 'em. Please, for the love of God, let me down.
Root : If you tell me where the machine is.
Denton Weeks : What machine?
Root : [Points at Harold] The machine he built. The machine Nathan Ingram sold you for one US dollar. You know where it is!
Denton Weeks : I don't know anything! I swear!
Root : [Looks at Harold as she puts the hood back on Weeks] Really, Harold, why do men always seek to delay the inevitable?

Denton Weeks : I know you're reluctant to trust me - you don't know me...
Harold Finch : Oh, I do know who you are, Mr. Weeks. You tried to hack the machine.
Denton Weeks : I certainly tried. It was my job. I had to test its limits, see if it was safe. But in all of our crisis scenarios, we never envisioned this. That someone would get to one of us.

Denton Weeks : So Ingram's little IT guy. We always suspected the idiot in the tux couldn't have done it on his own.
Harold Finch : What do you want?
Denton Weeks : I want to know what you know.
