The subway care is nowhere to be seen.
As the camera pans around the room, we hear Roots voice.
If it’s possible for you to hear this, youre alone, she says.
The only thing left is the sound of my voice.
I dont know if any of us made it.

Watching Emerson emote in front of a computer screen thats only responding with text is incredibly moving.
I havent caught this many feels about technology since the movieHer.
Her odyssey does a fine job of detailing the extent Samaritans reach.
Just like that, Samaritan identified assets and activated them.
The world has indeed become a lot more dangerous.
Roots hacker friend betrays her and turns her over to Samaritan.
However, before they go, they take 300 PlayStation 3s from the warehouse to help the Machine.
In a telling moment, he refers to it as she.
Thankfully, now they have a second chance.
Once everything is set up, they start decompressing.

Detective Fusco:
B.S.O.D.

Fusco is currently being investigated for the deaths of Dominic and Elias.

Yep, the FBI agent is one of Samaritans pawns.
