YHWH
YHWH, huh? Tetragrammaton, God's name?
Kind of sets the mood, yeah.
So let's see...
She usually has reasons for not talking... and, here's a call.
Now it would be really cruel if it's not from her.
Seeing as Root, before she ended on Team Machine, knew that there would be a call to a payphone when she collapses... couldn't Samaritan figure something out?
No... given that it's coming from behind a wall of bricks, Samaritan's trickery is unlikely.
Still, what are the chances that there'd be an abandoned station she led Harold to in the beginning of the season, and there'd be a payphone bricked in?
Although she's partial to payphones.
KKKK? What kind of code is that? Not SOS or Mayday... does that mean "run away"?
Hmm, zero, not kilo. Okay. Distress code.
Not "run away", then. "Help me, Admin", more likely.
So the case plays in now. I guess it should have, given that 22th is the last episode.
Well, was I right about saving an offline copy or seed?
Bloody hell, Control, what if the blonde is in on the plan?
Well... maybe not. Or she wouldn't mention the memo.
So the Machine does have eyes in the cellar... not like she can help John.
Although she can tell Root he's in trouble...
Sweet girl.
She's smarter than Samaritan, she must win.
The Machine going proactive... oh my.
But... did Harold just get shot?
Hooh. Nope, false alarm.
Okay, that's going to be one spectacular showdown.
I do hope Shaw just pretended to break and will sneak an attack in some suitable moment?
WwwwwwwOW!
I guess it all goes back to some episode I've conveniently forgotten, and I do seem to remember the name Caleb, he's probably one of the numbers they've saved, but that's kind of not relevant because WOW! Good things they've done coming back when needed! Wow!
Oh my bloody god Dominic is going to call Harold... poor Harold...
Oh blast it. But I do love when Harold calls John "Mr.Reese", can't fault him for this one.
And as much as I'm worried about John... Root's right. Samaritan wins, all Team Machine goes down in one go.
Are you out of your mind, indeed. Samaritan's alerted now.
Although, maybe a distraction was partially the purpose.
OH MY.
OOOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYYY.
"Can. You. Hear. Me."
Two bloody seasons I whined "why she doesn't talk to John".
Well... she does.
And Fusco's done it without alerting the Samaritan.
FUSCO POWER.
Well... the Machine's cover for John, POWER too.
Aaaaaand Control comes to check Columbia Heights with none other than Grice. Neat.
Reese: I'll take a rain check. I need to help Finch.
John... I love you so much right now.
Got it all figured out. If Dominic phoned Finch with such a threat and Finch didn't appear, but the Machine did instead, then things are really tough right now.
I'm worried about the sour-face who stared at John, though. Doesn't feel right.
OH MY. "Thornhill utilities".
Has Samaritan never caught her real world avatar?
Didn't the relevant side learn about Thornhill when the Machine was under the virus attack?
Well.......... their loss.
Wow. Control... wow. "Go back to the old Machine". Would she really do that? Trust Northern Lights again? Wow.
Cause the Machine will give them numbers again, if they ask. But... relevant side agreeing with contingency?
Hmm. What did her phone do to his phone while lying in the box, huh?
Okay, she caught him.
Why doesn't anyone simply shoot Greer, I wonder. He's the kind of guy that only stops when killed.
Man, isn't she scary when she's active like that...
Huh! Did she, perhaps, send them to neutralize the bomb instead of her own location?
Or, perhaps, her location and the bomb placement happen to coincide?
"Harold Admin." Oh. My. Gosh.
Aww, Carl... that was smart, but I'm worried about Fusco. Although, he's on the same side of the car that Elias is...
...They save it by downloading it back.
However... however. The boxes were being installed here and now, not two years ago. It looks more like taking over the power grid than like giving them a means for downloading her...
Oh come bloody on, Control. Why do you let him blabble on. Shoot him in the shoulder at least... just to make sure he's not running away fast enough...
Okay, so you figured it out, now shoot him! He's certainly carrying a Samaritan phone, meaning the bad guy's listening right in! Greer says one word and something gets screwed!
Hmm. Lights are flashing oddly, maybe some kind of code?
So, the core. A seed. Well, glad to know my guesses are right.
I don't like Greer's face expression. Might that supreme court thing be just a facade?
Or, perhaps, a discovery of that bomb was their plan since the start?
How can she be so sure she out-plays those two? Cause the only pair smarter than Greer plus Samaritan is Harold plus the Machine.
Hmm. Suddenly I have that image... that I'm going to shut up about, because Fandom Battle.
Bloody hell John, now's not the time to be the sacrifice! Who's going to protect Harold?
Okay, I take my words back... brilliant plan.
Unless more men arrive when the smoke dissipates.
Huh? Could we be so lucky that sour-face was looking not at John, but at Dominic? And is going to shoot him dead now?
Funken HELL!
So okay, Samaritan came to the same conclusions that the Machine regarding Dominic and Elias, but... funken HELL!
Alright, I guess Elias has resigned himself to getting killed today...
Hopefully Fusco isn't on the target list?
Damnit, they took down Grice too... I liked him.
Oh don't tell me it's Shaw... don't tell me it's Shaw who's holding that syringe...
No. Dear girl, NO. He doesn't think that. He's right there saving you. Please don't leave them.
OH MY HE'S GOING TO PULL THAT WITH HIS BARE HANDS
Bloody hell, Control, all that time you could shoot him! So Samaritan wins over you, but it would be easier to fight back without Greer! Bloody hell!
Okay. Team Machine.... okay.
Now don't you get shot in some last possible moment... hide now!
Oh my...
Team Machine...
