** At the very end of The Machine's reboot sequence, there's [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130504130217/pediaofinterest/images/7/75/Screenshot_zero_day_binary.png a block of binary code.]] If you convert it to ASCII, it reads ''Quis custodiet ipsos custodes''--[[AltumVidetur Latin for]] "[[WhoWatchesTheWatchmen Who watches the watchers?]]"

Added DiffLines:

* TemptingFate: Harold says he would look the next victim shown by the Irrelevant List in the eye and tell them it was for the greater good. He's saying this while looking Nathan in the eye, as the Machine is about to [[FailedASpotCheck reveal his number]].
