Right... Like, the fact/callback to Harold explaining that he prevented the machine from impersonating any living person for this revelation was gut wrenching.
@@Brewsy92 Root said, she gave the machine ability to communicate with you, only if you ask for it...next two episode, Harold sitting down ... FBI agent ... I want my phone call.... Asked the machine to call him... so next 5 seconds events started, the machine created an Environment so He can talk to her ( chose the voice ) and later she confess she loved her ( as she project herself as root)
The pain and rage in his eyes, how deep his voice gets, how lifeless and cold it sounds. This has to be Harold's best scene of all time the acting is at an 100.
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.
Wow. Never have I seen a more brilliant, deserving performance go COMPLETELY unrecognized by the Emmys. Most people think of Michael as an actor who is "good at playing villains." But I don't think there was any actor on television at this time who played the good guy better than Michael Emerson played Harold Finch. His performance was compassionate, wise, vulnerable, intense, powerful, charming, chilling and mesmerizing. No one else could have done it better.
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
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.
@@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
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.
That... That is not even acting. I don't see Michael Emerson, like at all. The only thing I see is Harold Finch getting ready to murder Samaritan in the cruelest way possible after witnessing the deaths of Elias and Root. This scene is so perfect!
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
2:23, love how Finch looks right at the FBI agent, looks like, “Oh, wait. You’re still here” and says with what I think is pure disdain, “I wasn’t talking to you.” And he looks right up at the camera.
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.
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.
I never thought that PoI could top "The Devil's Share" until I saw this episode. If this show had been on cable or Netflix rather than CBS it would have won so many awards that Reese and Shaw would never have run out of weapons.
Ever since Samaritan was introduced, we've seen Finch and the Machine lose battle after battle because they've always been fighting with one hand tied behind their back. Now we're finally going to see Finch use the full extent of his capabilities to fight back. I actually feel pity for Samaritan.
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.
Michael Emerson's voice control and how he gets deeper at 00:53 just shows how talented he is not only in acting with his eyes but how he uses his voice. This was one of the strongest scenes and took 5 seasons for Harold to show this side of his.
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
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Finch, being the Admin, is now in a permanent God Mode status. He'll tear Samaritan Ops' assess apart left and right.
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: ........ 😳😳😳😳😬😬😬😬🤯🤯🤯🤯😮😮😮😮
What a great speech to finally tell us why Harold has those rules. Only a kid who grew up during Nixon's presidency will know the corrosive nature of power in the hands of anyone. Will never not be bitter that Michael Emerson was snubbed at the Emmys for his work in the final season of Person of Interest. What we see here is just a snapshot of how amazing he was in the final home run.
Wow... Finch is scary when he means it. All that rage & saddness have risen to the surface. At that moment when he said "I'm done playing by my rules!" I think Samaritan in an instant while observing Finch telling him all this felt something he never felt before... "Fear". O_o;' he's awakened the monster within him to finally unleash the power of a god!
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
This is by far my FAVORITE SHOW OF ALL TIME! And this scene is the best of The Whole Series! Michael Emerson absolutely killed it in this scene!! And the whole series for that matter!! I will NEVER UNDERSTAND how this show never got the Recognition it absolute deserves! GREATEST SHOW ON TELEVISION!
This is literally the best speech in all tv shows. Meaning behind it was developed from the very first episode. From first season we could see that rules were his thing. Low voice tone and delivery were astonishing. His expressions were spot on. For example 1:09 we can easily see that Harold honestly believed those rules. That alone is extremely rare in tv shows or even good movies. But when you add all that together, you get bet speech that exists in tv shows.
I've watched so many shows, so many great actors. This is the best acting I have ever seen on tv. Emerson is amazing, and this is him at his very best.
Just finished watching reruns. This is probably the best monologue ever done. The scene gave me chills you hear the sorrow for his friends, the anguish of trying to do the right thing, the horror of giving up his principals and the finality of his solution. Personally if I was sitting in the room with him I'd gotten the hell out of there.
“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” ― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
With Root’s death this is when Finch realized that to beat the Samaritan, he has to make bigger sacrifices, they could no longer play it safe. Great performance.
The speech is great but when Finch answers the phone, and he thinks it is root and The Machine goes " No Harold, I chose a voice" just as chilling as Finch's speech. Also the look on Fusco's face when he sees Root lying there. He might not have liked Root but he didn't want her to die.
This show was not what we have come to expect from network tv. Brilliantly written with a tight narrative and direction. A thinking persons experience to bring up vast questions about the future. We will not see it's like again anytime soon.
This scene, Harold telling Samaritan that the gloves are off, put a lump in my throat. It reminded me that Harold was the most dangerous one of the entire show. John was the muscle and hands of the machine, Same with Shaw, doing what the machine could not, to help people. Root was the voice of the machine. But Harold, had he wanted, could have installed himself as a god on Earth using the machine. He was his own arbiter of right and wrong and took great pains to make sure he did right. We saw a glimpse of what the gloves off looks like when before trading himself for Grace, on her doorstep, what he told John and Shaw. Great scene, great show!
I remember seeing this scene 1st time and gave me millions of goosebumps and i get the same amount of goosebumps every single time i see it. The sheer power behind those words... Its a Promise. I haven't witnessed such amount of feelings with any other scene. This is A Masterpiece. Love it to the Core. ❤❤❤
" I've played by the rules for so long, ... Your rules have changed everytime it was convenient for you... I was talking about my own rules, I've lived by those rules for so long, believed them for so long... Believed that if I keep on playing By the right rules I will eventually win... But I was Wrong, wasn't I? ... I have to decide how many of my rules I'm willing to break... " These line ...
One of the best - and saddest - moments of the entire series when Finch takes the phone call and The Machine tells him that it took a voice...and at that instant he realises that Root didn't make it :-(
I love this scene for almost two and a half seasons we have been hearing how much of a threat finch is to Samaritan... And after this!?!?! It's nice to finally see him pushed just too much too far! Go FINCH!!!
В сериале есть очень много сильных моментов, как, например, смерть Симмонса от рук Элайаса или флешбек, когда машина, на вопрос "ты все знала?" выдает номер Нэйтэна, а потом обнуляет список, оставляя Финча наедине с собой, но это... У меня просто не хватит слов, чтобы описать. Прекрасный монолог, прекрасная актерская игра, Майкл Эмерсон показал нам Гарольда Финча, переполненного болью всех потерь, который наконец понял, что игра - не игра, и правила его не действуют. И теперь Финч готов смести все преграды на своём пути и, что самое важное, не ради мести,а чтобы исправить свою ошибку. Браво, просто браво! P.S. The beast within berserker rage is realised
This is not one of the best scenes that have ever aired on TV, it is the best scene. Micheal Emerson is just an amazing actor / genius, and the last head shake by Jim Caviezel is just perfect. Just perfect
This scene is amazing. It's like watching metamorphosis or something. Like watching butterfly getting out of its cocon, but what is getting out isn't butterfly, but something much more dangerous. Something with many legs that reminds me Praying Mantis. Something you don't want to target you.
so freaking best acting ever, goosebumps every time i see.tHANKKSSSSS!!!!!!!! ''So now I have to decide. Decide whether to let my friends die, to let hope die, to let the world be ground under your heel all because I played by my rules'' THIS PARTS IS SIMPLY EPIC.

It's sad this amazing show is coming to an end. The use of perfect songs like The Day the Whole World Went Away for this episode and Roads in Episode 2 of Season 4 is genius.
How can this show not be all Over the place???? Have we lost depth as a society? We only reward which is 'fun' Or 'popular' Or 'famous'. Such pieces of art and scences of true depiction of a core moral dilemma of humanity, are unrecognized nowadays. I mean I think I didn't get the memo when we became frivolous!
One of the best scenes! I have watched it so many times that I don't even recall count. Michael Emerson's performance is beyond brilliance. The scene's brilliance is conveyed by Michael Emerson's performance and the music of Nine Inch Nails in the end! Awesome 🙂
"I wasn't talking to you..." *Finch looks up* LOL If I was samaritan I would shit my pants! damn finch you need a sneakers you're not you when you're hungry...

"No Harold, I choose a voice..." One of the most heartbreaking sentence of these show.
It was emotionally powerful.. just knowing exactly what it meant that the machine chose roots voice, and Harold’s subsequent pain as he realized.

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'm going to kill you" so badass, even Reese would be afraid of him.
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?

When did he (segway) talked to Samaritan from the Agent?
I must have watched this scene more than a dozen times.
Me more
:) I think IrunChef has the count for my rewatches
"If you played by the right rules, eventually you would win....But I was wrong"....what a performance. ...Unbelievable
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.
This scene is equivalent to Heisenberg's 'I am the one who knocks' emotional speech.

That was so fucking powerful. Great writing and amazing acting. Awards need to be given.
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

ua-cam.com/video/TDLMUvIkKPQ4/v-deo.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.
Such powerful words. Such anger and determination. Finch backed into a corner but still unrelenting.
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.
"I wasn't talking to you" was a definite parallel to when Root said it in the utility tunnel a couple seasons ago
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.
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Finch, being the Admin, is now in a permanent God Mode status. He'll tear Samaritan Ops' assess apart left and right.
Let alone the god mode, if he didn't play by the rules imagine how capable would the machine be. he is just brilliant

Will never not be bitter that Michael Emerson was snubbed at the Emmys for his work in the final season of Person of Interest. What we see here is just a snapshot of how amazing he was in the final home run.

This is literally the best speech in all tv shows. Meaning behind it was developed from the very first episode. From first season we could see that rules were his thing.
Low voice tone and delivery were astonishing. His expressions were spot on. For example 1:09 we can easily see that Harold honestly believed those rules. That alone is extremely rare in tv shows or even good movies. But when you add all that together, you get bet speech that exists in tv shows.
Reese put it succinctly "I think the machine was worried what Finch will do to them."

I've watched so many shows, so many great actors. This is the best acting I have ever seen on tv. Emerson is amazing, and this is him at his very best.

Just finished watching reruns. This is probably the best monologue ever done. The scene gave me chills you hear the sorrow for his friends, the anguish of trying to do the right thing, the horror of giving up his principals and the finality of his solution. Personally if I was sitting in the room with him I'd gotten the hell out of there.
One of the best Shows ever created. Wonderful cast, great acting, so thrilling, now I have it on Blu ray and rewatching and enjoying every episode.
“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have SO. MANY."
@@spdcrzy Excellent scene!!!!
"No, Harold... I chose a voice." All the damn feels 😭
The moment he realizes, his anger just reflects to his response * can you get me out of here *
Fantastic acting of Michael Emerson, very powerfull scene! Could watch it again and again
"I wasn’t talking to you."

After more than 6 years this scene still gives me goosebumps!
@3:50 that's where men cried
mattwing05 yesss
The beauty of this is there's a bunch of clues scattered across the shows run about what would happen if Finch ever went off the chain
And we were able to see all the stuff that had let him in this point (from the moment they kidnap Grace to the moment they have shot Root).
With Root’s death this is when Finch realized that to beat the Samaritan, he has to make bigger sacrifices, they could no longer play it safe. Great performance.
The speech is great but when Finch answers the phone, and he thinks it is root and The Machine goes " No Harold, I chose a voice" just as chilling as Finch's speech.
Also the look on Fusco's face when he sees Root lying there. He might not have liked Root but he didn't want her to die.
I think Root grew on Fusco. (He called her Cocoa Puffs at first, LOL.)
i cant stop watching this scene
Fantastic scene, I'm going to miss this show so much x
This show was not what we have come to expect from network tv. Brilliantly written with a tight narrative and direction. A thinking persons experience to bring up vast questions about the future. We will not see it's like again anytime soon.

This scene, Harold telling Samaritan that the gloves are off, put a lump in my throat. It reminded me that Harold was the most dangerous one of the entire show. John was the muscle and hands of the machine, Same with Shaw, doing what the machine could not, to help people. Root was the voice of the machine. But Harold, had he wanted, could have installed himself as a god on Earth using the machine. He was his own arbiter of right and wrong and took great pains to make sure he did right. We saw a glimpse of what the gloves off looks like when before trading himself for Grace, on her doorstep, what he told John and Shaw. Great scene, great show!
If they hurt Grace in anyway… kill them all
2021, and this scene still sends shivers down the spine. Amazing.
Do you think he knew (Mr. FBI) or at least had his suspicions that Harold wasn't crazy when Harold looked at the camera?
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 remember seeing this scene 1st time and gave me millions of goosebumps and i get the same amount of goosebumps every single time i see it. The sheer power behind those words... Its a Promise. I haven't witnessed such amount of feelings with any other scene. This is A Masterpiece. Love it to the Core. ❤❤❤
" I've played by the rules for so long, ... Your rules have changed everytime it was convenient for you... I was talking about my own rules, I've lived by those rules for so long, believed them for so long... Believed that if I keep on playing By the right rules I will eventually win... But I was Wrong, wasn't I? ... I have to decide how many of my rules I'm willing to break... " These line ...

🔥🔥🔥
One of the best - and saddest - moments of the entire series when Finch takes the phone call and The Machine tells him that it took a voice...and at that instant he realises that Root didn't make it :-(
:-(
"I chose a voice." -- The machine always made me cry so hard. Such an intelligent show, shame they got rid of it.
Someone give this man an Emmy. Please.
They didn't even nominate him
"And we will be gone without a trace". Amazing.
the moment,finch declares WAR you know it's not going to end well .
This is the moment Harold became Ben Linus
I love this scene for almost two and a half seasons we have been hearing how much of a threat finch is to Samaritan... And after this!?!?! It's nice to finally see him pushed just too much too far! Go FINCH!!!
В сериале есть очень много сильных моментов, как, например, смерть Симмонса от рук Элайаса или флешбек, когда машина, на вопрос "ты все знала?" выдает номер Нэйтэна, а потом обнуляет список, оставляя Финча наедине с собой, но это... У меня просто не хватит слов, чтобы описать. Прекрасный монолог, прекрасная актерская игра, Майкл Эмерсон показал нам Гарольда Финча, переполненного болью всех потерь, который наконец понял, что игра - не игра, и правила его не действуют. И теперь Финч готов смести все преграды на своём пути и, что самое важное, не ради мести,а чтобы исправить свою ошибку. Браво, просто браво!
P.S. The beast within berserker rage is realised
This is not one of the best scenes that have ever aired on TV, it is the best scene. Micheal Emerson is just an amazing actor / genius, and the last head shake by Jim Caviezel is just perfect. Just perfect
goosebumps everywhere 👏.👏.👏
This scene is amazing. It's like watching metamorphosis or something. Like watching butterfly getting out of its cocon, but what is getting out isn't butterfly, but something much more dangerous. Something with many legs that reminds me Praying Mantis. Something you don't want to target you.
so freaking best acting ever, goosebumps every time i see.tHANKKSSSSS!!!!!!!!
''So now I have to decide. Decide whether to let my friends die, to let hope die, to let the world be ground under your heel all because I played by my rules'' THIS PARTS IS SIMPLY EPIC.
the way he said"can you get me out of it"
It is same anger he had when he said *to get it done*

Emerson did so great here. Him and Spader for Raymond Reddington are amazing.
Lawful Good pushed to the wall
I would hes more neutral good than lawful good. Possibly chaotic good
Everytime I need a jolt of motivation, I watch this clip. I know, it's kinda strange 😁
Do.
Not.
Piss off.
A peaceful man
with *principles.*
- Roll Armageddon sequence -
Elias did say that deep down, Harold was the darkest of them all...
Breaking one promise
To keep a greater one.
I LOVE when that big chord falls at the end- AWESOME!
In my head, I'm screaming please be a dream sequence or a machine scenario. Please don't take Root away.
I was bawling during that episode when Elias and Root were both killed.
What a great episode of television this is
Just listening to this....ahhh, rage of a silent man!!!!! Worst rage ever! Because you don't know what to expect

It's sad this amazing show is coming to an end. The use of perfect songs like The Day the Whole World Went Away for this episode and Roads in Episode 2 of Season 4 is genius.
Nothing I’ve watched to date even comes close to this show.
#givemichaelemersonanemmy
How can this show not be all Over the place???? Have we lost depth as a society? We only reward which is 'fun' Or 'popular' Or 'famous'. Such pieces of art and scences of true depiction of a core moral dilemma of humanity, are unrecognized nowadays. I mean I think I didn't get the memo when we became frivolous!
Yep it should be.especially with tech,power and the wrong handsbeing a prominent topic.
*scenes
Looking at finch eyes u can see the pain there is inside of that man , fucking dope scene
Pain, regret, anger everything
One of the best scenes! I have watched it so many times that I don't even recall count.
Michael Emerson's performance is beyond brilliance.
The scene's brilliance is conveyed by Michael Emerson's performance and the music of Nine Inch Nails in the end!
Awesome 🙂
Linus would run away and that should tell you something.
OMG THATS SO TRUUUUE
I don't even think Ben ever got this mad
Elias : " you are the darkest of all of us "
Finch!!!!
The rage of God!!!
congrats mrs Emerson!
"I wasn't talking to you..." *Finch looks up* LOL If I was samaritan I would shit my pants! damn finch you need a sneakers you're not you when you're hungry...
