Quotes 

• Harold Finch : Thank you for protecting me, although I'm baffled as to why.

  Control : The same reason I've done everything, Harold, for my country.

• Control : Where you were when Flight 77 hit the Pentagon? Because I was inside it. I carried out the wounded. I covered up bodies. and I have spent every day since putting bullets in the people responsible and in anyone else who even thinks that they can do that to our country again. You want to shoot me because I had to tap a phone calls, read a few e-mails, then you go right ahead. But you'd better turn that gun on yourself next, Mr. Collier, because you have broken just as many laws, and the only difference is I didn't wrap myself up in the American flag and try to convince people I was a hero.

  Peter Collier : I believe you love your country. I believe that when you started, people thought what you were doing made a lot of sense. But it's gone too far and it has to stop.

• Peter Collier : What is Research? I have here more than 300 pages documenting illegal wiretaps, interrogations, and assassinations carried out by Northern Lights all using information from something called Research, and all from one two-week period. Now, no bureaucracy moves that fast, so let me rephrase the question. Is Research an automated system? Is it a machine?

  Control : As a sworn officer of the US government, I can neither confirm nor deny anything pertaining to this matter, and I will say the same damn thing to every other question until the moment you put that gun to my head and pull the trigger.
