Person of Interest Season 5 Episode 10
"The Day the World Went Away"
Harold visits the cafe where he and Grace had coffee years earlier.
Harold talks to The Machine and says he knows he is going to die but
wonders if his friends will survive. Harold returns to the subway and
debates with Root over unleashing the Machine rather than facing certain
defeat. Root asks why Harold never gave The Machine a name. He responds
that he hoped it would eventually pick its own name and its own voice
before locking out access to the machine. Harold returns to his
university office. John gets a number at a pay phone: Harold's.
Samaritan operatives attack Harold. John and Root intervene. They all
flee to the safe house. Everyone is assembled, they decide the safe
house is blown so they collect all the weapons and leave. Elias takes
Harold to a former meth lab in a housing project, protected by
bodyguards. Lionel and John decide to go on the offensive and work up
the chain of command to destroy Samaritan, starting with Temporary
Resolutions, a Samaritan front. Meanwhile, Samaritan sends its assets to
the project, killing Elias and kidnapping Harold. Root and Shaw rescue
Harold in an intense gunfight, while Root explains that they can never
die. Shaw stays behind to battle against a black SUV with a
turret-mounted chain gun, while Root and Harold escape. Lionel and John
pick up Shaw when the firefight is done. Jeff Blackwell appears, setting
up along their escape route, in position for an assassination with a
sniper rifle. Root sees him and shoots to suppress the shot, but is shot
herself. They are stopped at a police roadblock, Harold is taken to
jail, while Root is in the hospital in critical condition. The police
detectives discover Harold is wanted for treason, but have no digital
records. Harold gives a soliloquy about whether he should let the
machine go on the offensive and he declares he will Samaritan despite
his beliefs. While being transferred to a cell, a pay phone rings and it
is The Machine, using the voice of Root. Harold realizes Root is dead
and we see her lying in the morgue. He asks The Machine to help him
escape and it says, "You created me, I can do anything you want me to."
The Machine cuts the power and opens all the cells in the jail, creating
a mass escape. Shaw and John arrive at the prison, where they realize
Harold's number came up not because he was a target, but because he was
the perpetrator against Samaritan.
