No Good Deed (Person of Interest) Quotes

  • (Henry L. Peck) "Please just listen. They've taken my job, ruined my life. Now I know why. This is the proof. These are six reports I wrote for the NSA, and six covert actions based on those reports. In each case, a single name gets added to what I wrote, and each time, that name turns out to be the key to stopping a major terrorist attack. Six for six. The only way to be that accurate is with illegal surveillance on a massive scale. Then there's this, "Sibilance" is an internal audit of the NSA intranet. It's totally routine; until they find signals hidden just beyond the Shannon limit. It should just be static, but there was data. Someone is sneaking just as much data out as the NSA is taking in. To scan through all that, you need an organization ten times our size. It's more than any human;"
  • (Henry L. Peck) "Oh, my God, they actually built it. After 9/11, the government wanted a computer system, a machine, that could watch everyone and everything, catch terrorists before they strike. They tried with trailblazer, TIA, stellar wind. They; they all failed. But if I'm right, then someone really built the damn thing, and it's watching us right now."

  • (Nathan Ingram) "Any other problem?"
