Mr. Finch receives a call from British intelligence. The topic? His recent “purely theoretical” plan to rob Fort Knox. What follows is a hilariously tense interrogation filled with indignation, deflection, and a record-breaking number of uses of the word “Honestly!” As MI5 tries to pin down the details, Finch insists it was all the machine’s idea—and that he merely glanced at it. A cursory glance, of course. It’s a masterclass in miscommunication, digital suspicion, and the art of never quite answering the question.
