It was emotionally powerful.. just knowing exactly what it meant that the machine chose roots voice, and Harold’s subsequent pain as he realized.

That broke me so muchhh honestly

Right... Like, the fact/callback to Harold explaining that he prevented the machine from impersonating any living person for this revelation was gut wrenching.

YASS!!!! hahahaha #elevenandfinchunite

Demons run when a good man goes to war Night will fall and drown from the sun, when a good man goes to war friendship dies and true love lies. night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war.

I was thinking about that DW scene!

@illusionX It is true love lies

Heroic Brine ah, its still a badass line :D

There always was real scary in Reece. Doing the job he did and all. But Harold being THIS dark.... Truly, truly boogeyman style scary. The things dark Harold is capable of, that is unimaginable. And for me, like a Shakespearean tragedy. Having known the character for 5 seasons and having gotten to know him as caring, kind and a moral pillar. The best scene in this show. And the best acting.

There isn't even a single flaw in the whole monologue. I was trying to play it by myself and after 3 days of trying I don't even come close to just voice him let alone imitating the all the gestures & emotions. Micheal Emerson is just brilliant

You can just feel the pain it still gives him to have to be so dark. The cold, quiet rage of an otherwise kind and gentle man. The world finally broke his Lawful Good sensibilities and now there'll be hell to pay for those who broke him

@@jennysmit6150 Takes the best or rather a very good man to become the most corrupted and violent, and dangerous. Afterall, good and evil, are both sides of the same coin, and morality, is subjective. If you ever notice, all the goody goody boy scouts, all have a dark side to them that they hardly ever show. They try to do what's right because of what's possible if they were ever to go over the edge. They have seen the worse, and they also know the best that could be done or achieved. Being good at heart and deep down, they want to do and offer their best. However they are still only human. And they are only a flipside away from also being the and or capable of the, worst/worse. Superman is another good example of this, aside from Harold Finch.

In a show with multiple heartstopping moments, this scene is, hands-down, the single most frightening. Brilliant.

Have seen POI twice..thinking of seeing it a 3rd one

Kim izlemeyi bıraktı ki üstad

Perhaps the only sentence that was targeted to both samaritan and the FBI agent

So true till it's even true in real life. (James Comey and all the rest of the crooked FBI Directors, I'm lookin' @ YOU.)

Game of the Year show?

Adrián González Greatest of All Time

LOL I'm so biased.

@@wais_45 Because the networks and awards shows are run by people in a circle jerk that just want to beat each other off and pat each other on the back with their slimey hands

Because this show asks questions that people don't want to be answered.

You mean, another one hehe

give 1 for being a badass on his own. 1 for this fantastic scene. and 1 because we can.

what? he wasn't even nominated once for nothing in this show... among 17 nominationd. the whole show is underrated.

Anna Stesia​ Emerson is an Emmy winner, that's what I meant. I don't remember for what show or movie was he awarded, but I know too it wasn't for PoI. I agree that the show is underrated.

It was lost I think

It take my heart at the last part where he said *TO GET IT DONE* with such an attitude.

@@benoi5 UGH SAME

Well it’s hard to choose but between him and Raymond Reddington man idk. They both are so good.

I agree 100%. I think maybe James Spader playing Raymond Reddington comes closer of such performance. But i have to confess that everytime i watch this scene it chills me to the bone

@@pab1381 I hadn't thought to compare them, as their characters are so different it their beliefs and actions.

wasn't I? No, you wasn't Harold. Imagine what kind of world it would be if Harold didn't have any rules. Even on these circumstances, he tries to decide how far he needs to go to stop this completely.

Itsreally more a balance act.

Joris Heit I will more say that he stays so calm for so long, and suddenly his whole world collapsed (Root's death, elias' death) so his rules collapsed too and he decided to fight back, without letting anyone go on his way.

what episode does Elias say that?

@@kimberlylandaverde2099 5x10

Love it

I need to decide how far I am willing to go, how many of my rules I am willing to break to GET IT DONE

Guy tfw: ¿

The background score is excellent

This, IMHO, is the best scene of the series.

Exactly how I'd order my list

“If this show had been on Netflix instead of CBS it would have so many awards” god it physically hurts me how true this is.

@@siddharathaiyer Hey if you like the score in the background I made a compilation of the 'dark' version of Finch's theme.

And we will be gone without a trace

first time harold is that scary to me... lol an angry harold means samaritan's demise :D this is gonna be ugly..

Ben Linus lives! ;)

I have another scene for you. When Elias lets his "friend" kill Simmons. For me the same league.

Not in the show, in the entire TV history.

I don’t think I made the connection until you said it! Just wow

When did he (segway) talked to Samaritan from the Agent?

So true! This man is a MASTER of line delivery. Michael usually has a higher, thinner-sounding voice for a male, but GOSH, when it gets all deep and gravelly like that, he sounds so powerful, almost ancient. There are chills, many chills.

I was trying to replicate this 2 minute scene for the last 3 days, and what I have found out was that let alone all the gesture / emotions I can't even imitate his voice toning. This is just amazing

Me more

:) I think IrunChef has the count for my rewatches

John Smith Agreed...grt actor

Five years of build up, knowing Harold, to bring us to this culmination. Brilliant.

This is Jonathan Nolan's master piece

David Kamada so true...

He's "Playing Chess" with Himself of a Moral Dilema

It was a dilemma before the things got rogue. Now it is just a matter of limits and how far he need to go to stop this completely.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqp8gLinrtGvgIVn.html5

Gets me every time I watch this clip, and the reactions of Harold as he realises what it means and Fusco as well.

Me too. Think it’s one of the most emotionally powerful scenes of any shows I’ve seen.

WindQueen it’s better

I'd say this is a more chills down the spine scene because you know you're screw whe Finch starts talking that way as previously stated!

Definitely more chilling. W.W was on a downward spiral of morality from episode 1. The show is called breaking bad, it's all about that spiral. Finch on the other hand was uncompromising with his morals. The only time he faltered was when his wife was in danger but even then he morals remained uncompromised. He refused to bend even when options were limited and it cost them dearly. it took 4 and half seasons, the knowledge he did this to himself, and the loss of some of his closest friends to finally push him over the edge.

You can't compare something like Breaking Bad to Person of Interest.

@@benoi5 you can't, i can.

Pretty sure Reese admits he finds Finch terrifying and before Elias died, Elias says he knew Finch was the darkest of all of them.

in which scene?

@@amtr25461001 i guess it was in the episode when they find The Voice in last season.

He learned it from reese, when the head of HR was captured by reese he said the same thing. I am not going to threaten to kill you, in 2 minutes "I am going to kill you"

Actually that is a nice reference. They both threaten to kill, and they both think about limiting the power they will put into the operation to reduce on some fronts. Especially with the last sentence: I need to decide how far I am willing to go, how many of my own rules I have to break to get it done

I like your vocabulary.

Indeed it was

It’s Root’s catchphrase throughout the series. I didn’t catch it until a rewatch.

Jonathan Nolan and all the other producer/writers had an amazing job here and the Micheal Emerson just pulled it in the best possible way.

I wouldn't call this full power of Harold, not even close. The would can't handle such a thing, and he knows that. And I believe he also regrets not using all of his power on the last scene when Metamorphosis was playing a missile was heading to Reese

Finch was the Darkest one in the whole series, he placed rules for himself, He was worried his personality has been passed to the machine (the pervious version shows brutal side of Finch), so he crippled her! for the machine. but now, he reached his red limit after root was shot, you could have seen he already knew she died, because at phone scene he was shocked to hear her voice same personality

I am imagining, that in this moment, some Samaritans agents just get their missions canceled and many projects abandoned, so Samaritan could focus his people and calculating abilities to defense.

​@@benoi5*world

"Devils run when a good man goes to war"

Heryerde turk :d

+mert eliyazıcı he la.

Elias saw and acknowledged the true person in Harold since the time they have played chess in the prison.

Now they feel harolds unrelenting fury... #ripsamaritan

+illusionX. Samaritan just open just gates of hell!

harold is like a ticking time bomb :D get ripped :D

Can't wait for tonight episode.

This shows how incompetent samaritan is by not calculating this scenerio where it's existence is threatened by a single guy.

Samaritan made one fatal mistake: pissing finch off XD

They tried to kidnap Grace, killed Elias and shot Root. I think Finch had enough

​@@benoi5 Don't forget about torturing Shaw

This was the thing that we were waiting for the last 2 seasons, and with the death of Elias and the possibility of Root being dead Finch just exploded

Let alone the god mode, if he didn't play by the rules imagine how capable would the machine be. he is just brilliant

Its actually what I see as titan mode. Because in God mode machine was just facilitating things for her agents but here we see something far better than that.

At the end, when she called Reese, I can sense something like this: Root as The Machine: Hey kids, I'm afraid that I have some bad news and some terrible bad news. The bad news is that my little sister was killed by Samaritan's agent and the terrible bad news is that Harold reached out to Titan mode and I think he's going to wipe Samaritan from the face of Earth. Reese and Shawn brains in that moment: ........ 😳😳😳😳😬😬😬😬🤯🤯🤯🤯😮😮😮😮

I don't even count now how many times I have watched this

The moment he realizes, his anger just reflects to his response * can you get me out of here *

It is the best scene in the entire TV history

Brilliant writing, amazing acting =

Not even completely out of bounds, he emphasize that he is trying to decide how far he is willing to go. I believe this is just a fraction of his capabilities

If they hurt Grace in anyway… kill them all

I don't think so, he had an empty look on his face. He simply wasn't able to comprehend thid monologue

He knew something was up... but he probably didn't have an inkling of the scope that conversation had.

I was bawling during that episode when Elias and Root were both killed.

It is same anger he had when he said *to get it done*

I would hes more neutral good than lawful good. Possibly chaotic good

Pain, regret, anger everything
