For her heroism, Root would ultimately die from her wounds, yet “live on” in the form of The Machine’s long- awaited “voice.”TVLine spoke with Acker about her number being up, Root’s “profund” effect on members of the LGBT community, that “broken tailbone” rumor and more. TVLINE . We had that trailer where The Machine was talking over the subway set — well, me as The Machine — so they told me what was going on and asked me to record that. So I’ve known for a while. TVLINE . To me, she was never really afraid of dying. Throughout all of the storylines, especially between Root and Harold, she always made it clear that she knew he was the priority, that The Machine needed him and all of that. I’m glad that Harold made it. That makes me happy! TVLINE ! But I’m excited to see how it all came together. TVLINE . There’s a lot of little pieces. And it kept starting to rain, so we want back and shot that scene in pieces over three different days. PHOTOSPerson of Interest Stars Answer TVLine Reader Questions. TVLINE . It worked out that way. I was really sad and told everyone how much I was going to miss them, and then they were like, “Can you come back and do the voice on set. I’m not sure it was “broken,” but yes, damage was done. Were you satisfied to see that, at the end of the day, the two of them went “all in”? Yeah. I think that throughout Season 4 they definitely implied that things were happening off- screen, and that’s the way the writers were presenting it to us. I remember David Slack saying one time, “You remember that night with the zip ties. I really liked the way they did the whole relationship, that it was never something that was discussed or talked about, even amongst other characters. It was just, “This is what it is.” I think that showing the simulation the way they did was a really good tool, because Root had been the pursuer of Shaw for a majority of . So getting to see inside Shaw’s mind — that even without Root there torturing her, she’s thinking of her on her own — made me feel good. TVLINE . Colonial Girl was pretty random, I liked that one. The bear costume is an all- time favorite. The ripped wedding dress was good. They really didn’t let me down with any of my cover identities.

So just to see what they went on to create, and all of the different things that have happened. I haven’t had a character that seems to have and such a profound effect on people. In the LGBT community, I’ve met so many people who have said such amazing things about this show and the writing, so to play a character that’s had an impact on people that way, I feel very blessed. They weren’t afraid to take her in any direction, and not just in that . There were never any boundaries for this character, and I loved that about her. Made in Bangladesh - the fifth estate. EPISODE SYNOPSIS: A lot of our clothes bear the label . But before the deadly collapse of a garment factory there last April, most of us never thought about the people who make them. After clothes bound for Canada were found in the rubble of Rana Plaza, Canadian companies reacted with surprise - how could such a tragedy happen? Mark Kelley went to Bangladesh and tracked down workers who say they are still forced to make clothes for Canada in dangerous conditions. And Kelley goes behind bars for an exclusive interview with the jailed owner of one of the biggest factories inside Rana Plaza, who details his long- standing, multi- million dollar connections to Canada. The one so stylish and cheap you had to have it in 5 different colours? And what did Canadian retailers really know about how their clothes were being made? The Birth of A Shirt. The journey of any garment begins with its design, a concept that flows from a designer’s pen. He started his career in haute couture in the early 1. Christian Dior and Balenciaga in Paris, before eventually making it back home to Canada and his job with Walmart. In Canada, retailers began flocking to the country after Ottawa dropped import duties from Bangladesh back in 2. Imports from Bangladesh to Canada shot up by 6. That means a very long time that the factory is going to be sitting idle if they don't get that order.”. Sennik soon began to question what corners were being cut to make clothes at such low prices. His unease intensified in November 2. It was a 9- storey building, though the owner only had a permit for 3 storeys. There were no fire escapes and many doors were blocked by boxes. Windows were barred shut. Months before the blaze the factory’s fire safety certificate had been revoked. Most of the 1. 12 workers who died were burned alive. He remembers being called into a meeting where he and others were informed that Walmart had used factories in that building in the past. They didn't, they didn't say anything about them, they just talked about their, the loss in terms of units, how are they going to make up their margins? So he made the life- changing decision to quit his job and see the truth for himself. Through this database, we were able to track shipments from Bangladesh to Canada which passed through a US port. After factory managers declined repeated requests to visit the factory, co- host Mark Kelley showed up at the factory, with the shipping records and the shirt designed by Sennik in hand. Factory managers came out of the gates to speak to the fifth estate but denied having anything to do with making the shirt. Meeting The Workers. Faced with point blank denial from Hasan Tanvir’s managers, Kelley and former Walmart designer Sujeet Sennik decided to ask workers from the factory if they recognized the shirt. They asked the fifth estate not to identify them for fear of losing their jobs. The workers described it as a dangerous place to work, where their safety was a low priority. It’s a list of factories that have failed its audits. So why was Walmart using a factory it had deemed unsuitable to make its clothing nearly three months later in August when the fifth estate met with the workers? The factory was being allowed to complete one final order in an effort to transition production without causing undue disruption to it. A Canadian Fast Fashion Icon Comes to Bangladesh. The rise of fast fashion is tied to what’s been dubbed the “race to the bottom” - - where the cheapest prices win. And some say the front runner in that race is Loblaw’s clothing brand, Joe Fresh. A critical hit on fashion week runways in Toronto, the brand soon bounced its way to one of the top spots in the children’s wear market in Canada. It’s been over 2. I’ve been sourcing from all over Asia. And Joe Fresh apparel is where I along with all of my colleagues work every day to ensure that we have the highest standards of ethical sourcing”. Loblaw’s own shipping records indicate hundreds of thousands of garments were made at Rana Plaza, the site of the deadly collapse, and then sold in Canada after the tragedy. Many sales associates either denied or were unaware that clothing from Rana Plaza was still being sold in their stores. Loblaw made Joe Fresh apparel in Bangladesh before the building collapsed. The owner, a man named Bazlus Samad Adnan surrendered to police in the days following the collapse. And while his fate garnered far less attention than that of Sohel Rana - - the owner of Rana Plaza who was caught trying to flee the country - - it became clear Adnan could provide some insight into Loblaw’s interactions with its suppliers. Bangladeshi government for permission to speak with Adnan. Permission was granted, but no cameras or recording equipment would be allowed in the interview. Adnan said the company was his biggest client, bringing in about $6 million a year. They all squeezed me. But Joe Fresh was a very good customer. Their policy was just ship it on time,” he told the fifth estate. Are Audits Enough? Orders are sometimes placed with factories that are not approved by retailers, something known as unauthorized subcontracting. Loblaw and House of Pearl about their relationships with New Wave style. Loblaw would not go into details about its dealings with New Wave Style except to say that its factories inside Rana Plaza had passed internationally recognized auditing procedures. In an email, a spokesperson from Loblaw added that “we, and our third party audit firms, visited our vendor factories located inside Rana Plaza.”. House of Pearl told the fifth estate that New Wave Style was added to its roster of supplier factories because it had passed internationally recognized audits. In an email, a spokesperson said the company “has strict requirements for technical and ethical standards from its suppliers and works closely with its international fashion retail clients to ensure that high standards are maintained throughout the supply chain, which includes audits”. For his part, Adnan could not name any Loblaw employee who came to visit his factories. He said that no one from either House of Pearl or Loblaw had visited or spoken with him since the collapse. This despite dozens of factory fires and collapses and hundreds of worker deaths in the decade before Rana Plaza seized the world’s attention. So that really escalated . The brands’ reliance on third party inspectors allows them to distance themselves from the work being done on the ground. So, they don’t really look,” he says. They told us by email: “We learned about the evacuation from media reports in the days following the collapse.”Another deadly fire six months after the Rana Plaza disaster that killed 1. Bangladesh garment factories that supply Canadian stores. The team tracked down a young girl named Aruti. But her grandmother says she is really 1. Kelley showed her a pair of Joe Fresh shorts bought in Canada. She told him she sewed pocket seams - - 1. Her days were gruelling; 1. And if there was a rush order, she had to put in overtime. She told Kelley that her employers pushed the workers hard, verbally abusing them if they weren’t working fast enough. Although she had dreams of going to school and becoming a teacher or a doctor, poverty pushed her into a readily available job in the garment industry alongside her mother. She and other workers had been evacuated from Rana Plaza the day before after cracks had been seen in the building. Her boss phoned her at home and told her to go in to work the next day or be fired. She was eventually rescued, but lost her leg. Aruti survived. Her mother perished with 1,1. If I didn’t work in that factory. I feel very bad seeing these pants,” she says. Instead they sent us an email saying they’ve contributed a million dollars to two charities, and joined a compliance accord with other retailers aimed at improving working conditions in Bangladesh. The company says it will now put “boots on the ground in the region” to inspect factories further. The Man In Charge. After Rana Plaza collapsed, the Bangladeshi government scrambled to assure nervous Western retailers and their customers that Bangladesh was a safe place to do business. Mark Kelley walked into a jute factory using toxic dyes - - where none of the workers or the children they had to bring to work with them - - were wearing masks. Using a hidden camera the fifth estate saw another factory employing children aged 1. Atiqul Islam, president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, the garment industry’s self regulating body - - the man Canadian retailers deal with. He is a prominent factory owner in his own right. He’s made clothes for Walmart Canada, Loblaw and HBC. They told him they had been beaten by thugs employed by their factory owner simply for demanding a month’s work of wages. If you don’t like there you can go the other work there. We have a 2. 5% worker shortage in the industry, still today,” he says. Kelley showed Islam the shirt designed by former Walmart designer Sujeet Sennik. But the workers at Hasan Tanvir told Mark Kelley they made the shirt. But once the interview was wrapped up, he took the shirt and walked to his desk for closer examination. The Canadian Import number and barcode which could connect his company to the shirt had been blacked out. When asked about it the following day, Islam denied doing anything to the shirt. A Monument To Greed. Before he left Bangladesh, the fifth estate took former Walmart designer Sujeet Sennik to see what remains of Rana Plaza. It shouldn’t go lower than this. People know about this now. It can’t continue like this.”.
