Another utterly fantastic episode. From the opening minutes with haunting Johnny Cash and Hurt to the great writing, great directing, great acting, and to Elias coming out of the shadows again.

Harold, Shaw, Reese, and Lionel with an unseen psychiatrist/therapist, shot facing our familiar characters; puts the focus on their reactions, their facial expressions, their individual situations which brought them all together in the present day. It's worth noting Damian Young, Jessica Hecht, and Kevin O'Rourke in these roles.

Digitalism Miami Showdown! Reese kicks arse. Jim Caviezel portraying such raw emotion; his grief, his pain, our grief, our pain. Does grief have an evolutionary value or purpose? Perhaps it does.

If you don't tell me I'll make the last three minutes of your life last forever.

Root & The Machine! Shooting kneecaps!

And Fusco finally getting to beat the shit out of Simmons.

Carter got you good, yeah‽

I'm not gonna let you undo all the good she did. Carter saved my life. She saved me from myself. Because she believed in me. I'm not gonna throw it away on a piece of crap like you.

That final scene with Elias. Absolute chefs kiss of writing and very well executed as always by Enrico Colatoni.

I offered to kill you for detective Carter many times and she always said no. She was civilised to the very end. I don't think she liked me, but I liked her, very much. You killed her. So now I consider it my responsibility to fix the particular problem that is you, Officer Simmons.

You really think you're going to be the one to kill me?

No, my friend is going to kill you, I'm just going to watch.

11/10.
