Everything happens for a reason…..
THE LIFE SHOWS FINCH THAT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT, EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON AND WHEN A LOVE IS REAL NOT EVEN THE DISTANCE CAN KILL IT.
Harold Finch is a reclusive genius and private billionaire software engineer who developed and created a machine that can isolate the Social Security numbers of people with either premeditated homicidal intent or who will be homicide victims, based on its analysis of surveillance data. He recruits John Reese, a former Green Beret and CIA operative, to help him prevent a violent crime related to the person of interest the Machine identifies. He recruits John Reese, a former Green Beret and CIA operative, to help him prevent a violent crime related to the person of interest the Machine identifies.
After leaving everything behind, his life, Harold have built a wall around his heart, promising to himself he would never fall in love again, that's why he became to be so private after the accident that left him with serious physical limitations. Finch has had a cervical spinal fusion of the C3, C4 and C5 vertebrae, more precisely, a 2-level posterolateral fusion. In this type of fusion surgery bone graft is placed between the transverse processes in the back of the spine. To provide stability, the vertebrae are then fixed using metal screws or wires attached to a metal rod on each side of the vertebrae. As a result of this procedure and the preceding accident, Finch displays a range of physical disabilities such as the inability to turn his head, rigid posture, a limp, and possible chronic pain.
Harold and Reese have been taking care of every number the machine have been giving them. Either protecting them (if they were the victim) or stopping them and take them to face the justice (if they were the perpetrator) with the help of the detectives Lionel Fusco and Joss Carter.
One day they were having breakfast at one of Finch's favorite diners when Harold's cellphone vibrated indicating they've got a new number. He paid for the food and then headed back to the old library (where they worked at) to investigate their new number while Reese waited in the other line of the phone for instructions.
Finch turned on the bug in his ear to talk to Reese. "Mr Reese? Our number is Sophie Daniels, a young woman from Boston; she's a writer and singer." The fact that she was a writer, caught Finch's attention. "She's also the daughter of a police officer of the NYPD, I'm afraid that might give us some troubles to be around her, Mr. Reese."
Reese looked around him a moment before speaking. "What's his name? I could use Fusco to help us with this one."
Finch checked the name before replying. "James Daniels, he also is an ex-military so I must suggest you be extra careful, John."
"Don't worry, Finch. I can take care of myself without exposing ourselves."
"I know you're perfectly capable of that, Mr. Reese but this will be a tough one as you must see. I'm sending you her information and address along with a picture of her." While saying it, Finch worked on the keyboard, sending John in a text message everything he needed to start working.
Reese lowered his gaze to the cellphone on his hand when he got the message and looked at the picture of the blonde, blue-eyed, young woman. "I must say, it's a beautiful woman. She looks innocent."
Finch stayed in silence for a moment, contemplating Sophie's photo. In fact she was a beautiful woman with an innocent look, every time you looked into her eyes it seemed like if you could see her soul, they were transparent, Harold held back a gasp when he noticed it, something about her, besides from being a writer, caught his attention again.
Reese raised a brow as he didn't got an answer or even heard the sound of Harold's fingers typing on the keyboard. "Finch, you're still there?" He asked softly while heading over to his car.
Harold was almost mesmerized, something he haven't experienced since... He couldn't even remember since when. He somehow heard John's question and lightly cleared his throat, going back to his 'business tone'. "I'm here, John and remember.. Appearances are deceptive."
Reese smirked amused when he noticed the change in his employer's voice. "Oh I know, don't worry. I'm gonna visit her." After saying that, he hung up.
