Root : She knows. The Machine must know where Shaw is and if she's alive. But she won't tell me.
Harold Finch : Ms. Groves, our only lead brought us to the brink of disaster. You and John came perilously close to being discovered. I care about her deeply. But if only for our own sake, we have to let her go.
Root : You gave up on her days ago. You really think she's dead.
Harold Finch : I want to hold out hope. But hope is painful. We may never find her.
Root : I need an answer if Sameen is alive or if she's dead. Please, help us. Please.

Root : [phone ringing]
[indistinct automated voices on the phone]
Root : Harold, what's she saying?
The Machine : Sierra. Tango. Oscar. Papa. Sierra. Tango. Oscar. Papa.
Harold Finch : Stop.
The Machine : Sierra. Tango. Oscar...
Harold Finch : The Machine is asking us to stop looking for her. Perhaps the Machine does know. Perhaps it has a plan. But for our own survival, our sanity, I believe we must reconcile ourselves with never knowing the truth. Otherwise, our pursuit of it will consume us entirely.
Root : Good-bye, Harold.
