    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When Finch is on the laptop in Time Square you can see Jim Caviezel's character John Reese on the top left of one of the video screens.
    • Goofs
      When Finch first shows Reese the binary number and Reese asks if it's some kind of program, Finch says he has no idea what it is. Given Finch's computer expertise he should have immediately recognized that the 1's and 0's were binary and from there easily translated it to plain text.
    • Quotes

      John Reese: What I need is a bigger gun.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening monologue starts as usual, with Finch speaking, but then his voice starts to alternate with Greer's, whose monologue is a frighteningly different twist on Finch's.
