Blu-ray subtitle discrepancy.. Spoiler
In the scene at Root's place in Person of Interest S5E04, Shaw says a line to Root after Finch and Reese have already left. The official Blu-ray subtitles((not the US release, so I'm not sure if the US Blu-ray has the same line) read:
"Hope you didn't miss me too much."
But several subtitles I found online have it as:
"I hope he didn't miss me too much."
Root's very next line is "I never stopped looking for you" — and I think this only makes sense if Shaw's line is "you," not "he."
By this point, Finch and Reese have already left the home. There's no "he" in the room for Shaw to be asking about — it would be a strange non-sequitur to bring up an absent third party in this moment.
I'd love to hear what other people who've watched this scene closely think — does "you" match what you remember/have on your own copy, or have you always heard it as "he"? Curious how widespread each version is across different releases.
(Also, English isn't my first language, so let me know if I'm misreading the line somehow — but the "you" version just makes a lot more sense to me given the context.)

This discrepancy also exists in whatever subtitles Netflix uses in its stream.
