Person of Interest is an American science fiction crime drama television series created for CBS by Jonathan Nolan, who serves as an executive producer alongside J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, and Greg Plageman. The series stars Jim Caviezel as John Reese, a former CIA agent who is presumed dead. He is approached by a mysterious billionaire named Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) who is trying to prevent violent crimes before they happen by using an advanced surveillance system dubbed "The Machine". Their unique brand of vigilante justice attracts the attention of two NYPD officers, Joss Carter (Taraji P. Henson) and Lionel Fusco (Kevin Chapman), whom Reese uses to his advantage as he investigates persons of interest. Reese and Finch are later aided by Samantha "Root" Groves (Amy Acker), a highly intelligent computer hacker and contract killer whom the Machine later identifies as its "analog interface", and Sameen Shaw (Sarah Shahi), a former ISA assassin who unknowingly dealt with the "relevant" numbers found by the Machine.
As of May 5, 2015[update], 90 episodes have aired, concluding the fourth season. The series has been renewed for a fifth season to debut midseason during the 2015–16 television season,[1][2] for 13 episodes.[3] CBS has yet to determine whether it will be the series' final season.[4]

John Reese (Jim Caviezel), a former CIA agent and Army Special Forces soldier turned homeless alcoholic, has a struggle with a group of hot-headed teenagers on the subway. After this, he is extracted from police custody before Homicide Detective Joss Carter (Taraji P. Henson) can confront him about links to previous killings discovered through fingerprints analysis. Reese is brought to a mysterious and somewhat secretive billionaire, Harold Finch (Michael Emerson), who is the creator of the next-generation software known simply as "The Machine". After 9/11, Finch developed a computer program that can sift through enormous amounts of data, looking for patterns of behavior or activity that would predict another attack. It also provided information about individuals who could be in danger; it can predict the identity of a person involved in a premeditated crime that will happen at some point in the future – however, Finch's back-door link to The Machine only provides the Social Security number of the person, and offers no clues to their involvement or when the crime will take place. Finch, who feels a need to do something to help these people, enlists Reese to aid him in preventing these crimes, hoping that it will give Reese a purpose following the death of his girlfriend, Jessica (Susan Misner). A reluctant Reese agrees to watch the first person on his list, Diane Hansen (Natalie Zea), an Assistant District Attorney currently working on a major prosecution concerning a prominent drug killing. Reese soon learns that Hansen is not the victim, but the perpetrator running a ring of corrupt police officers and planning to kill a fellow DA, Wheeler (Brian d'Arcy James). After blackmailing one of the corrupt officers, Detective Lionel Fusco (Kevin Chapman), into being his source of information inside the NYPD, Reese reveals Hansen's corruption to an open court, kills the corrupt Detective Stills (James Hanlon), and links Fusco to the crime to ensure his future cooperation. Reese agrees to continue preventing violent crimes. | |||||||||
2 | 2 | "Ghosts" | Richard J. Lewis | Greg Plageman & Jonathan Nolan | September 29, 2011 | 2J6202 | 12.51[6] | ||
Reese takes the case of Theresa Whitaker (Valentina de Angelis), a girl who supposedly died with her family two years previously. Reviewing the evidence, Reese finds that the crime scene was staged to look like a murder-suicide. He deduces that Theresa's family was killed by a hitman, and that there is still a price on her head. He follows leads back to Solmick (Michael Medeiros), the original contract killer, who admits that he let Theresa live because he refuses to kill children. Meanwhile, Detective Carter starts investigating Reese, using his fingerprints to access his file, only to discover that it has been redacted. Using information given to him by Reese, Finch manages to locate Theresa, but they are interrupted by the arrival of another hitman (Ritchie Coster). Reese intervenes in time to save them, leaving Theresa in the care of Carter. When asked about Reese, Theresa claims that the experience was too traumatic to recall anything. (The episode is interjected with flashbacks of Finch and his partner at the founding of "The Machine". Finch is concerned that, if the public ever found out about it, he would be forced to shut it down. At the end, a memorial bust of Finch's partner (Brett Cullen) is shown in his offices.) | |||||||||

The Machine produces the Social Security number of Joey Durban (James Carpinello), a former soldier. On returning from Iraq, Joey joined a gang of former soldiers who have taken to robbing banks. Reese infiltrates the gang for their final robbery at an NYPD evidence lockup. They steal a file marked "Elias, M." before Latimer (Ruben Santiago-Hudson), the ringleader, starts killing off the gang members and escapes. Reese starts tracking him down, but discovers that Latimer has himself been murdered after handing the file over to Elias. The file is revealed to contain photos from the scene of a brutal murder. | |||||||||

Reese begins 24 hour surveillance of Dr. Megan Tillman (Linda Cardellini) when the Machine names her as the next Person of Interest. He and Finch believe that she is being targeted by Andrew Benton (Adam Rothenberg), a serial stalker and sex offender who drugs his victims before raping them, only to discover that Tillman is actually stalking Benton and planning to kill him; one of Benton's previous victims was Tillman's sister, who committed suicide shortly after Benton assaulted her. Reese assaults a group of dealers connected to a Mexican drug cartel, stealing their product and planting it on Benton to have him arrested before Tillman can catch him. Tillman, however, abducts Benton, forcing Reese to talk her out of it by saying she'll never forgive herself for taking a life after saving them for so long. Meanwhile, Detective Carter starts to get closer to Finch and Reese when she finds a surveillance tape from the robbery in "Mission Creep" that shows their exchange.

In exchange for his son's safe return, the leader (Michael Cerveris) demands that the judge release a banker who is key to their money laundering operations without any punishment. Breaking with his preferred means of operation, Reese makes himself known to Gates in an attempt to stall the kidnappers while he uses Detective Fusco to process evidence from the scene of the crime.

Finch finds that Zoe's case is connected to that of Dana Miller, a person of interest whom he was unable to save before meeting Reese. Meanwhile, Carter takes a homicide case when the murder weapon is proven to be the same one that was used in the "Elias M." case featured in "Mission Creep", and learns that the victim was the murderer of Elias' mother, Marlene Elias, and was killed with the same knife he used to murder Marlene.

Further, Kohl believes that his former Stasi colleagues are responsible for the murder of his wife Anja (Laila Robins), who was killed while attempting to flee Germany with him. Kohl kills Hauffe and poisons Wernick, but Reese manages to save him. When confronting Steiller before killing him, Kohl learns a terrible truth – Anja is still alive, having staged her own death to escape from his atrocities. When he attempts to locate her (running into Reese instead – whom he briefly connects to as a fellow spy and soldier), he also learns that Anja had their child, Marie (Aubrey Dollar), and so sets out to find them both. Kohl finally locates Anja, having taken Marie hostage, and admits that he understands the reasons behind her flight, before raising an unloaded weapon to her, forcing Reese to shoot him dead.

When Reese finds one person of interest dead and is unable to prevent the murder of a second, he realizes that all four have something in common, and begins to dig deeper. He finds that the four stole drug money from the scene of a car accident, and that a corrupt banker and congressman are conspiring to have them killed for it. Meanwhile, Detective Carter has been stood down following the death of her confidential informant in "Get Carter". She is approached by a man named Mark Snow (Michael Kelly), who identifies himself as a CIA operative, and asks her to lead him to Reese, revealing the reason why Reese faked his death – supposedly, Reese was responsible for the death of his CIA partner, Kara Stanton, and then disappeared, until Carter's investigation put him back on the agency's radar. Finch confronts the conspirators and records evidence that they established a charity in Haiti to launder drug money. Reese saves the two women (Bridget Regan, Melonie Diaz) by killing their attackers.

Reese finally decides to meet with Detective Carter, who, by helping him and Finch in their next case, is provided a little insight into what he and Finch do. Their case is Andrea Gutierrez (April Hernandez-Castillo), a self-made attorney who specializes in suing the state of New York on behalf of convicts who claim they were wrongfully imprisoned. Reese and Finch believe the threat to Andrea will be associated with her latest client, Terrence King (Curtiss Cook). King's parole officer, Dominic Galuska (Vito D'Ambrosio), has been setting up convicts to go to prison and profiting off placing their children in foster care. In representing King, Andrea has come to the attention of people who want her silenced. Meanwhile, Reese realizes that, despite trusting his life to Finch, his partner is still keeping secrets from him. He follows Finch to a meeting with Will Ingram (Michael Stahl-David), the son of Finch's previous partner, Nathan Ingram.

Reese and Finch are alerted to Scott Powell (Myk Watford), a dedicated family man and city construction project manager, who was laid off in the face of budget cuts advocated by Congressman Michael Delancey (Victor Slezak). They find that he has secretly applied for a weapon permit and is sending death threats to Delancey; they conclude that Powell is planning to assassinate the Congressman. However, as Reese tries to intercept Powell, Finch realizes that the evidence against him has been planted, and they are unable to stop the real assassin from killing Delancey. Powell is arrested by the FBI in the face of overwhelming evidence, forcing Reese to help him escape. With the help of Zoe Morgan (last seen in "The Fix"), Finch identifies Peter Matheson (Damian Young), Delancey's business partner and chief of staff, as the man who hired the assassin and a hacker to kill Delancey and frame Powell, thereby covering up Matheson's corruption. Finch acquires a recording of a conversation between Matheson and the hacker, exonerating Powell. After Matheson is found dead, the hacker, identifying herself as "Root", admits to Finch that she had him killed to tie up loose ends.

The latest number that the Machine dispenses belongs to Michael Cahill (Michael Aronov), who on the surface is an unassuming and upstanding but solitary citizen, which masks the fact of being involved in a major smuggling ring led by a man named Vargas (José Zúñiga). Members of the ring will not hesitate to kill anyone who gets in their way. Reese quickly infiltrates the smuggling ring. But, when Reese follows Cahill away from the group, he finds that Cahill's former name is Daniel Tully, and that he is a husband, father and cop, who is deep undercover. Cahill could have put Vargas away long ago, but is waiting to nab the ringleader, a man (Michael Berresse) going by the code name L.O.S. Reese also learns that Vargas probably has a connection working inside the police force. Meanwhile, Finch gets Carter to provide information on the workings of undercover cops. Fusco, meanwhile, is tasked with finding out information on Vargas and consults his friend, Officer Simmons (Robert John Burke), a high-ranking HR enforcer. Fusco is later taken hostage by Vargas' corrupt informant (Reg E. Cathey), whom Reese kills just in time. Despite Fusco's saying that he always tried being a good person, Reese tells him to go undercover in HR to learn about their operations and flush out Vargas' connection. | |||||||||

Reese gets the day off, ostensibly for his birthday. Finch goes to Carter for help, but then urges her to accompany agent Donnelly to New Rochelle, where Donnelly suspects Reese in the disappearance of a man after his wife died in a car accident. Carter finds clues indicating the husband abused his wife, making her death suspicious. Finch works with Detective Fusco to find POI Karen Garner (Dagmara Dominczyk), pursued by U.S. Marshals for identity theft. But again the official story is debunked after Reese — rescuing the mission from the fumblings of Finch and Fusco — learns she’s fleeing her abusive husband (Jeremy Davidson), a marshal who framed her to trigger the manhunt. As case parallels emerge, so does the identity of the dead wife in New Rochelle: Reese's ex-girlfriend, Jessica Arndt. Did Reese kill her husband? Will he kill the marshal? A phone call to Carter suggests Reese deposits his bad guys, with drugs he plants on them, at a Mexican prison. Reassured, Carter shreds a military file on Reese that arrives for Donnelly. In the final flashback, Reese, who's just learned of Jessica death, bumps into a man in a wheelchair. It's Finch, with a folder suggesting Jessica Arndt was a POI he couldn't save. | |||||||||

Wanting to unearth Finch’s secrets, Reese watches him as he takes a call. But it’s just a new POI: Henry Peck (Jacob Pitts), an NSA security analyst. Someone is after Peck for unwittingly pointing up the Machine in a security report. Flashback to 2009: Nathan Ingram’s government contact, Alicia Corwin (Elizabeth Marvel), tells him, ominously, that the Machine will flag anyone who discovers its existence. It occurs to Ingram: The U.S. government might abuse its power to secretly spy on Americans. He asks Finch to create a contingency program. Finch deems it a dangerous plan, so Ingram does it himself. Peck meanwhile keeps getting rescued by (then escaping) Reese. Along the way, he ultimately realizes the Machine exists: “Our own government is spying on us, and they want to kill me for covering it up! I have to tell someone!” he yells during one of the rescue-escapes. Finch finally corners Peck while he’s waiting to meet a journalist. He gives Peck a new identity kit, admits to creating the machine, then walks away, unaware that Alicia Corwin overheard his admission. Reese tracks down Finch’s fiancée (Carrie Preston), and Finch later confirms that he faked his death to protect her. | |||||||||

Following the rise of Samaritan, the team members have adopted cover lives: Finch is a visiting college professor, Reese is a NYPD narcotics detective, and Shaw works at the cosmetics counter of a department store. Out of the blue, The Machine gives Reese a new number for Ali Hasan (Navid Negahban), who has developed a covert communications network using old VHF television antennas laced throughout the five boroughs of New York, making it invisible to Samaritan. When one of Hasan's clients, a gang known as "the Brotherhood" forces Hasan to set up a network for them, Hasan plants a bomb in a burner cell phone he gives to one of the leaders, but Reese prevents the bombing. In response to the bombing, Hasan's son Ben is kidnapped by the Brotherhood, leading Reese to hire Elias and give him the largest heroin drug supply on the East Coast in exchange for helping to keep his NYPD cover clean and saving Hasan's son. Meanwhile, Samaritan agent Martine Rousseau (Cara Buono) arrives in New York to find anyone in the city that may be a threat to Samaritan's security. Harold and John meet in the park, where Harold gives him one of the phones which uses the invisible network Hasan had built, Hasan having decided to move his family elsewhere and start over. The Machine also sends a coded message to Harold through his cover's dissertation which leads him to a new underground hideout off of Decima's radar, using a forgotten Interborough Rapid Transit Company station.

But Claire is unaware that a private military firm from which she stole files for the game is after her to recover those documents. Several of their assassins are intercepted by Reese and Shaw just as they are about to kill Claire. Finch ultimately discovers that the Nautilus recruitment puzzle is being run by Samaritan. When Finch reaches out to her, warning against finishing the game, she does not listen and instead makes her way to the end of the game: the rooftop of a building in nautilus form. There, she is held at gunpoint by Silverpool operatives. Believing the game to be a lie, Claire hands over the documents, only to see the operatives are shot dead by unseen snipers. Before she can react, she discovers a phone on which Samaritan reveals its presence and recognizes her as an asset. Through Claire's documents, Silverpool's atrocities are exposed, as is a Silverpool threat identification program that would have competed with Samaritan. Later that night, Finch reveals the new base of operations to Reese and Shaw, telling them that he is back to help in the fight against Samaritan. | |||||||

It develops that Cooper had worked with members of a mob and is due to testify in a murder trial. Eventually Fusco and Cooper are taken captive by some mob members and are locked into a shipping container with the expectation that the brutal heat in the city will kill them from heatstroke. Reese, Shaw and Bear come to their rescue and are able to bring the mob gang in to their precinct headquarters. Precinct Captain Moreno (Monique Gabriela Curnen), who had been critical of Fusco and Reese earlier, congratulates them on their good work, while wondering about the signature technique of hitting the knees. Later, Fusco enjoys a date with an attractive woman he had met at one of Cooper's parties. Meanwhile, Root recruits Finch to assist her in a mysterious mission. Pretending to be a famed underworld scavenger (Finch) and his assistant (Root), they purchase a black-market AT4 anti-tank weapon. Afterwards, they are led to another black-market exchange with a Latvian mob, where they attempt to sell the launcher. At the last second, Finch breaks character, triggering a standoff that Root resolves by shooting the mobsters in the knees and tipping off the police.

The latest number is Tomas Koroa. At first, Tomas's life appears clean, but when he robs a jewelry store in under ten seconds, Finch and Shaw discover he is an international thief. As Shaw has just walked out of her old job as a wheel man, Tomas has piqued her interest. She enlists the help of Fusco and Reese to join his gang by getting one of his members arrested on a drug charge. Shaw, now on Tomas's team, helps them rob a safe, which unbeknownst to her and Tomas and the others, contains a deadly virus called Marburg, or "MARV". The other gang members were already aware and were paid off to betray Tomas and kill him. The attempt fails, however the vials are stolen. Shaw offers to help Tomas, who wants to make things right and he admits that he would never have accepted the job if he knew what he was stealing. After tracking the whereabouts of the virus, which is housed in a secure storage facility, Shaw identifies a couple of government operatives are doing the same thing – Shaw identifies one of them being her former apprentice. Finch, now aware that the whole operation has become 'relevant', contemplates that he and his team resign from pursuing it any further, but he later changes his mind. In the meantime, Shaw and Tomas attempt to break into the storage facility to steal the vials, but they are confronted by a former teammate of Tomas, who was presumed dead, but was behind the theft of the virus in the first place. In the ensuing gunfight between Shaw, Tomas, his rivals, and the government operatives, Shaw manages to escape with Tomas and the vials, but then she gets caught by her former apprentice. Surprisingly, the operative lets them go when he sees the vials. As the government operatives move on to another mission, Shaw's apprentice deletes the CCTV video that shows him letting Shaw escape. In the end, Samaritan retrieves the damaged video, and starts repairing it, with its screen focused on Shaw's blurred face. Meanwhile, Root and Finch, at The Machine's prompting, investigate software engineer Jared Wilkins, founder of a new non-profit called OTPS and recipient of a $12 million grant from Governor Dawson (who last appeared in "Prophets" and is being assisted by Greer and Samaritan). With Root disguised as Wilkins' son's nanny, Root and Finch discover that OTPS stands for One Tablet Per Student, an effort to give every New York student a 3D-printed tablet to assist in their education. Believing the tablets to be powered by Samaritan software, Root and Finch infiltrate Wilkins' facility and plant a virus which overheats the 3D-printers inside and ultimately destroys the building. As they leave the scene, Finch reveals to Root that the tablets' code was benign and not malicious. In doing so, he questions Root if the path they are on to fight Samaritan is indeed the right one and how much wrong they are willing to do to achieve it. | |||||||
76 | 8 | "Point of Origin" | Richard J. Lewis | Tony Camerino | November 18, 2014 | 3J5408 | 9.87[82] |
Reese takes an instructor's position at the NYPD police academy to observe the latest number; recruit Dani Silva (Adria Arjona). The team learns that she is spying on her fellow recruits, though further analysis proves that Silva isn't hunting them, but is instead already a cop from Internal Affairs, working undercover in the academy trying to expose a suspected mole. The mole is Silva's fellow recruit and friend, Alex Ortiz, who is acting on orders of the Brotherhood – he is being coerced by their leader, Dominic (whose identity Finch and Shaw work out while observing his sense of command) in exchange for help with his uncle's legal problems. Ortiz steals files proving Silva is a cop from Silva's handler and then murders him, framing Silva for the crime and making her a wanted fugitive. Ortiz also steals files from the academy's commandant for Dominic. Reese, Fusco and Silva go to Spanish Harlem where Ortiz is under fragile protection by a local drug cartel. The group retrieves Ortiz and escapes while Dominic has the cartel leader executed. Ortiz's confession exonerates Silva and improves Reese's standing in front of Internal Affairs. Meanwhile, Finch has scrutinized the elements of the case enough to formulate a conclusion: Dominic's target is Elias, their new number. Elsewhere, Samaritan has processed the retrieved security footage (from "Honor Among Thieves"), producing a somewhat blurry picture of a person (Shaw) who it is unable to identify. In response, Greer sends Martine to identify the person. When Samaritan identifies Shaw's associate in the picture (Tomas), Martine is sent to talk with Tomas' last remaining associate, who identifies Shaw's old associate Romeo as the one who recommended the person. After tracking down Romeo, Martine tortures him into giving up information on Shaw. Using the information, Martine arrives at the department store that Shaw works at. As the episode ends, the two make eye contact and recognize each other as agents of the opposing AI. | |||||||
77 | 9 | "The Devil You Know" | Richard J. Lewis | Erik Mountain | November 25, 2014 | 3J5409 | 9.04[83] |
Following the cliffhanger ending of the previous episode, Martine engages in a gunfight with Shaw, who ultimately escapes. Root immediately picks her up on a motorcycle and they race away from the scene. Taking temporary refuge in a moving van, Shaw resists the fact she will have to go into hiding now that her cover is blown – eventually, Root injects her with a sedative and takes her to the team's hideout. Martine, attempting to trace Root and Shaw, learns that Fusco had stopped the truck, officially on suspicion of narcotics possession. Pretending to be a DEA agent, Martine goes to the precinct station to question Fusco about it. Fusco sees through the ruse and gives her a false lead. Reese and Finch deal with their latest number alone – Elias. Elias and Dominic are playing a dangerous and deadly cat-and-mouse game for gang territory control. Elias, his right-hand man Anthony, and his accountant Bruce, turn out to have been devoted friends since their youth in a orphanage. Dominic gets many of Elias's people to turn on him in exchange for promises of expanded territory and power under the Brotherhood. Reese steps in to defend Elias and, during the process of evading Dominic, Anthony is captured and later killed in a suicide bombing, but not before putting some thoughts into the head of Link, Dominic's own right-hand man, about loyalty vs. expendability. Before Anthony dies he says morior invictus ("I die undefeated"). Greer and Martine deduce that the Machine's team is still alive and that Samaritan has a "blind spot" somehow caused by The Machine. He reiterates that it is time for "human intelligence" to fill that blind spot – Martine is given command of a group of Decima agents to hunt down Shaw. Meanwhile, Dominic has deduced that there is an extra-legal team helping Elias – he has two of the players figured out (Shaw and Reese), with the bankroller's place (Harold) still a large question mark. Elias vows revenge for the death of Anthony, and warns Reese to stay out of the way once that day comes. Elias declares Invictus maneo ("I remain undefeated"). | |||||||
78 | 10 | "The Cold War" | Michael Offer | Amanda Segel | December 16, 2014 | 3J5410 | 8.94[84] |
Samaritan decides to bring an end to the hide-and-seek game that it has so far played with The Machine. To bring The Machine out of hiding, Samaritan showcases its strength by eliminating crime in New York City for a whole day. Elsewhere, John finds out that Samaritan has learnt how to deal with irrelevant numbers and has managed to prevent a series of crimes which would otherwise be taken care of by The Machine. Samaritan's actions leave Harold and his team with a difficult choice, whether to let Samaritan do their job or play along Samaritan's new plan. When The Machine decides not to communicate with Samaritan, Samaritan changes course, bringing New York City to a halt as it allows crime to dramatically increase. Ultimately, The Machine agrees to talk with Samaritan, and Samaritan indicates the time and place of the conversation. There, Root (acting as The Machine's voice) meets with Samaritan's representative, a young boy. After a tense exchange between the two AI's, it becomes clear that The Machine will not back down, while Samaritan is set on destroying The Machine. The episodes ends with Shaw leaving the Subway to help Root and the others while Samaritan engineers a stock market crash on Wall Street. Meanwhile, a series of flashbacks show Greer's past as an MI6 agent. When Greer is assigned to kill a KGB agent, he discovers that the KGB agent is in fact also an MI6 agent and that his deputy director, Blackwood, is in fact a double agent. Overcome with anger, Greer kills Blackwood and severs his ties with MI6. | |||||||
79 | 11 | "If-Then-Else" | Chris Fisher | Denise Thé | January 6, 2015 | 3J5411 | 10.08[85] |
Following the stock market crash that occurred in the previous episode, Finch, Reese, Fusco, and Root go to install software at the stock exchange that will stabilize the market. However, they are almost immediately intercepted by Samaritan operatives, who corner them in a room. Out of options, the team turns to The Machine, who in a matter of seconds provides a multitude of projections and outcomes in each (while doing so, it reflects on multiple chess matches it played and the lessons it learned with Finch in 2003). In one simulation, Finch and Root go to install the software while Reese and Fusco secure their escape route. However, both teams are quickly surrounded by Samaritan operatives, who kill Finch, Reese, and Fusco, forcing The Machine to reset the simulation. In the second, the two teams switch places (Reese and Fusco install the software while Finch and Root secure the route). Here, Reese and Fusco are once again trapped, and Reese sacrifices himself by setting off a grenade after installing the software. Likewise, Root is killed by Martine and her group of operatives while trying to disable an elevator lock. In a final simulation, all four of The Machine's assets move together, securing the software and the extraction. They are once again intercepted before they can escape, with The Machine projecting a roughly 2% chance of survival. Out of time, The Machine selects this as the most preferable and executes it. Meanwhile, Shaw is stuck on a subway train with a stock market exchange manager with a security code to the exchange's server room. However, she is interrupted by a would-be suicide bomber who she kills in the first two simulations (and thus gets herself arrested) but talks down in the final and ultimate outcome. After sending the code to Root, she arrives as the two teams clash, opting to hold the Samaritan operatives off as Finch, Reese, Fusco, and Root escape. She kisses Root and traps them in the elevator, but as the team watches on in horror, Martine shoots Shaw multiple times before approaching her with her gun aimed at her head as the elevator doors slam to a close. | |||||||
80 | 12 | "Control-Alt-Delete" | Stephen Surjik | Andy Callahan | January 13, 2015 | 3J5412 | 10.16[86] |
During a mission to eliminate four suspected terrorists in Detroit, ISA operatives (including Brooks and Grice from "Honor Among Thieves") eliminate three while the fourth, Yasin Said, escapes with his laptop. When Control requests access to the laptop's contents, Samaritan denies the request. After an exchange with one of Samaritan's operatives, the operative instantly shuts down the government's access to Samaritan, forcing a discussion between the operative, Control, Senator Garrison, and Greer, which results in access being returned. Suspicious of Samaritan's actions, Control orders Brooks and Grice to make recovering the laptop their highest priority. When Brooks and Grice do obtain the laptop, Said escapes and the laptop self-destructs. An analysis of Said's backpack (which he left with the laptop) shows that Said is planning to hop a train to Canada, prompting Control to head to Detroit to intercept him. However, Reese and Root (who have been hunting for Shaw since her disappearance at the stock exchange) ambush and kidnap her. Root tortures Control for information on Shaw, but Control denies having knowledge regarding Shaw's predicament. When Harold speaks to her, he realizes that Control herself has been kept out of Samaritan's plans and tries to convince her to accept this fact, but to no avail. With no help from Control, Harold and the rest of team are left to fight off a group of ISA operatives who have arrived to rescue her. During a skirmish, Harold successfully uploads a worm to one of the ISA cellphones, and finds some information suggesting that Shaw may be being held in upstate New York. Control, after being rescued, tracks Yasin to Canada. He reveals that he won the Nautilus puzzle (from "Nautilus") and he wrote some software for an anonymous corporation. Control kills Yasin, but her actions leave a hint of doubt in her mind if Yasin and his friends were in fact framed as terrorists. Meanwhile, the young boy acting as Samaritan's representative approaches the White House Chief of Staff (Michael Gaston) and informs him that it was he who caused the stock market crash. The Chief of Staff initially dismisses the boy, but later reconsiders when the boy demonstrates his ability by altering the portfolio information of the chief of staff. Through the boy (Samaritan) presents his demand for an audience with the president. The episode ends with Root and Reese driving north, and Control visiting the New York Stock Exchange to investigate the site of the shoot-out between Harold's team and the Samaritan operatives. | |||||||
81 | 13 | "M.I.A." | Kevin Bray | Lucas O'Connor | February 3, 2015 | 3J5413 | 9.28[87] |
Root and Reese travel to the remote (and fictional) upstate town of Maple in search of Shaw, with Finch theorizing that she may be in a truck he traced earlier. The two find a truck with a stretcher and medical equipment inside, leading them to a doctor. The doctor says that he was anonymously consulted for the job, but didn't call the police since Maple has a history of job losses for those who ask too many questions. He himself was fired from his former workplace, which is run by Maple's mayor Leslie Thompson. Root and Reese realize that Samaritan is experimenting with Maple as an "ant farm" used to study human nature, and is manipulating events by giving people false identities. After kidnapping and interrogating Thompson, they learn that she too is one of these people. Thompson leads them to the factory where Shaw was last seen, but Reese and Root instead find a secretary from the stock exchange instead - she is one of many innocent people who Samaritan operatives are experimenting on with neural implants. Fusco and Dani Silva (from "Point of Origin") investigate the Machine's next number, one Arthur Weiss, a seemingly unsuspecting citizen revealed as a freelance assassin. They lure him into Silva's home and engage in a fight, with Silva shooting him to save Fusco, thus making her first kill. Meanwhile, Root and Reese return to New York and the Machine sends them a coded message telling them to stop looking for Shaw. Elsewhere, Shaw is revealed to be alive and in Greer's captivity. | |||||||
82 | 14 | "Guilty" | Kate Woods | David Slack | February 10, 2015 | 3J5414 | 9.53[88] |
Harold, as Professor Whistler, is summoned for jury duty in the trial of a man charged with murdering his wife, the former CEO of a cellphone development company. Harold tells the judge the (in-universe) truth about the government using technology to control our lives, and as he expects, he is initially rejected from the panel. He is brought into the jury panel anyway, after one empaneled juror is rejected by the judge because his phone rings. He is seated next to a chatty and frustrated former schoolteacher named Emma (Blair Brown), who turns out to be The Machine's next number. The team initially concludes that she is a perpetrator, being coerced to "fix" the trial, and that her role is to convince the jury to vote "not guilty". Once in the jury room, the opposite proves true - she is supposed to convince the jury to vote "guilty". Harold reverses himself and stalls to try to get a "not guilty" verdict and to buy time while Reese and Zoe Morgan try to deduce what the real story is. The jury is sequestered in a hotel, and one of the jurors attempts to kill Harold, but Reese intervenes and the man is arrested. The man is actually a plant by the real perpetrator, the new CEO of the company. The murder was to prevent the dead CEO from withdrawing a product worth many millions of dollars but which internal reviews deemed to be unsafe. The new developments lead to dismissal of charges, and the real perpetrator is arrested before he can flee. Fusco, who had been kept out of the loop for the most part, tells Reese not to do that. He says if he eventually dies in the line of duty (as Carter did and Shaw seemed to), then he's OK with it. Emma, feeling a new sense of purpose in her life, tells Harold she is going to find a job teaching again. Zoe sees that Reese has found a love interest - a growing attraction between himself and his counselor. | |||||||
83 | 15 | "Q & A" | Stephen Semel | Dan Dietz | February 17, 2015 | 3J5415 | 9.17[89] |
Reese and Finch work to save the life of Anna Mueller, a software programmer at Fetch and Retrieve. They learn that she is being targeted because she expressed concern over the results VAL, a mobile app designed to aid users, is giving to people with depression that has resulted in suicides. Finch however discovers a nautilus during the investigation and is contacted by Claire Mahoney who tries to convince him that he was right all along about the people who created the nautilus game. When Finch tells her about Samaritan, she tells him that she had recovered some source code from it and wants him to use it on his laptop, but he's suspicious. Claire reveals herself to be an agent working for Samaritan and leads Finch at gunpoint to a school ran by Samaritan and attempts to recruit him, but he refuses. Root rescues him from the agents and shoots Claire, who later returns and hands Finch's laptop to Greer who has it analyzed. Back at Fetch and Retrieve, Calvin Mazer holds Fusco and Anna at gunpoint and reveals to them that he was the one who ordered that VALs source code be altered to target people with depression, gambling problems and debt, for the sake of the advertisers. Reese rescues them, and Calvin is arrested by Fusco. The next day, Greer attends a board meeting at Fetch and Retrieve and greets the CEO Lauren Buchanan and offers them a solution to their problems. | |||||||
84 | 16 | "Blunt" | Frederick E. O. Toye | Amanda Segel & Greg Plageman | February 24, 2015 | 3J5416 | 9.63[90] |
Reese works to save the life of Harper Rose (Annie Ilonzeh), a grifter who is targeted by Dominic after she steals a large amount of money from a legalized marijuana dispensary. Her actions result in two of Dominic's men who were acting as security in a money laundering operation being targeted and killed by the Parral Cartel who were tipped off by Harper. Enraged by her actions, Dominic tracks down her boyfriend, Trey, and interrogates him for information on Harper. Reese reaches out to Dominic and offers to return the money stolen by Harper in exchange for Trey and the hit being called off on Harper, but he's not interested and demands that Harper be handed over. In a face-to-face meeting in a diner, Dominic complains that Elias seems to get a pass. Reese tells him he and Elias stay out of each other's way, and that he and Dominic could also stay out of each other's way if Dominic stops targeting innocent people. Harper then decides to visit the Estonian mafia after suggesting the plan to Reese and Finch and tells them about Dominic's money laundering operation, and lures them to Dominic's location while Reese rescues Trey. Fusco and the NYPD arrive and arrest the Parral Cartel, initially on possessing weapons illegally. Dominic and his crew are quickly released when he produces legal documents that show the guns they are using are registered to his private security company. During the bust, Dominic attempts to recruit Harper while Reese watches on. She's not interested, but he leaves the door open for her if she changes her mind. Harper then apologizes to Trey for her actions, and also immediately breaks up with him. Meanwhile, Root tries to sell an application she developed at The Machine's request, which she hopes will aid in trying to defeat Samaritan. | |||||||
85 | 17 | "Karma" | Chris Fisher | Hillary Benefiel & Sabir Pirzada | March 10, 2015 | 3J5417 | 8.67[91] |
The Machine's next number is a psychologist named Dr. Shane Edwards (Patrick Kennedy), whose wife was murdered eight years earlier, an event which continues to haunt him. The team determines that Edwards has been studying the people who traumatized his clients and got away with it, then carefully crafting frame-ups in order to punish them for their crimes. When Wyatt Morris (Daniel Sauli), the man convicted of murdering Edwards' wife is released from prison, Edwards stages his most elaborate frame: to commit suicide and make it appear that Morris murdered him. In flashbacks to 2010, Harold is shown plotting revenge on Alicia Corwin, whom he believes is responsible for killing his collaborator Nathan Ingram. As he is about to kill Corwin with a car bomb, he has an epiphany thanks to the intervention of the Machine. He uses that experience to persuade Edwards not to go through with his plan. Additionally, the team uncovers evidence that suggests Morris probably did not commit the crime. Harold and Reese discuss the fact that they may never know the full truth. In a session with his own therapist (Iris), Reese begins to open up about Jessica, the love of his life. | |||||||
86 | 18 | "Skip" | Helen Shaver | Ashley Gable | March 24, 2015 | 3J5418 | 9.15[92] |
The team splits up and works on separate cases. Reese and Fusco follow a bounty hunter named Frankie Wells (Katheryn Winnick) whose number has come up. She is trying to track down the man (Ato Essandoh) that killed her brother. Harper interjects herself into the cat-and-mouse case and manages to negotiate a resolution to a gunfight standoff between Reese and several other parties. Finch resumes meeting with Elizabeth Bridges, who is nearly ready to turn over a software package that contains the Trojan Horse which Finch had installed previously. He intends to activate it via a special device. Root, fearing that this will result in Finch being exposed and killed by Samaritan agents, foils the plan, at the cost of Finch and Elizabeth's growing mutual attraction. A doubly devastated Finch tells her to leave the team for a while. Early in the episode, Iris tells Reese she cannot be his therapist anymore, and assigns him to another. They give each other the cold shoulder for the rest of the episode until the end, when they meet in her office and she confesses she has fallen for him, and then they kiss passionately. | |||||||
87 | 19 | "Search and Destroy" | Stephen Surjik | Zak Schwartz | April 7, 2015 | 3J5419 | 8.67[93] |
The Machine's next number is a brilliant developer and CEO named Sulaiman Khan (Aasif Mandvi), whose anti-virus software is hijacked and he is framed for embezzlement. Samaritan and its operatives spend the episode trying to find and kill Khan, while the team tries to save him and determine what Samaritan is doing. They arrive at one of Decima's underground lairs in a forest, and discover that Samaritan is using Khan's anti-virus software; Martine and her men arrive, resulting in Khan being captured and meeting Greer. He asks to "look Samaritan in its eyes", to which Greer responds by shooting him dead. Finch tells Reese that since the Machine's code cannot be searched for, Samaritan is employing Khan's software to attempt to locate the Machine. | |||||||
88 | 20 | "Terra Incognita" | Alrick Riley | Erik Mountain & Melissa Scrivner Love | April 14, 2015 | 3J5420 | 9.21[94] |
In a flashback, Carter (Taraji P. Henson), Finch and Reese are staking out a cop that is going to get killed by HR. In the present, Finch explains who the new number is, a man named Chase Patterson (Zachary Booth). Finch, Root and Fusco are then to work on a case between the two gangs of Elias and Dominic while Reese works on Chase's case regarding the death of Chase's whole family. When Reese asks about the file regarding Chase Patterson, he finds out it was a case of Carter's. As Reese dives into the case, different flashbacks are shown with Carter doing similar investigation to what Reese is doing. As Reese reaches the final destination to the case, he discovers that Chase did not kill his parents and sisters. It was Gil, the doorman at their building, as well as Chase's half-brother. Gil then shoots Reese but Reese manages to shoot him back, killing him. In the process, Reese is trying to escape, the slow process of death is shown with Carter. Reese, now hallucinating and succumbing to hypothermia, talks to Carter about things that he wished he could have talked to her when she was alive. After Reese finishes talking with Carter, she disappears from his hallucination, and a car pulls up. | |||||||
89 | 21 | "Asylum" | Frederick E. O. Toye | Denise Thé & Andy Callahan | April 28, 2015 | 3J5421 | 8.45[95] |
Reese and Fusco reach to find the next number, Carl Elias. They reach his hideout in a bank in Manhattan, and the two warn Elias that The Brotherhood is coming to capture and interrogate him. In the mean time, Dominic and his Brotherhood arrive and capture Elias, Reese and Fusco. It turns out that Dominic is being aided by Harper, who now works for him. The Brotherhood tortures Elias for his intel, and Reese and Fusco for information on Harold and his whereabouts and activities. Dominic's group knows that Harold is tapped into the city's camera systems in some way, which would be helpful for them in their efforts to run the city. Elias, using mind games, provokes Dominic to kill his right hand man, Link, during the torture session, to avenge the death of Anthony. Meanwhile in Washington, D.C., Control has captured and is interrogating a female Samaritan handler posing as a teacher, after having killed her partner, wanting to know Samaritan's strategies. Root receives a call from Shaw for help. Surprised, she and Finch follow The Machine's instructions to try and find Shaw, eventually driving to what appears to be a mental hospital, but which is also Samaritan's and Greer's base, having previously intercepted a communication of Samaritan that it is focusing on finding the location of the Machine. Samaritan's operatives capture Finch and Root as they are infiltrating the facility, and they give a choice to The Machine: to reveal its location, or get both Root and Finch killed. Root, after having earlier been confined to a bed, kills Martine by breaking her neck. The Machine intercepts by cutting power supply to the Asylum and exchanging its location, for the freedom of Finch and Root. Greer agrees and releases them, and takes a group to go in search for the Machine's location. As they're leaving, Root tells Finch to reach that location before Samaritan in order to save the Machine. | |||||||
90 | 22 | "YHWH" | Chris Fisher | Dan Dietz & Greg Plageman | May 5, 2015 | 3J5422 | 8.18[96] |
Samaritan, having received the location of the Machine, begins a series of power outages throughout the United States, beginning in the West Coast and moving eastward toward New York. Dominic tries forcing Reese and Finch to help him in same way as they helped Elias. Harper releases Fusco, but is caught by Dominic. The Machine, now in distress because of Samaritan's actions, allows Root and Reese access to its God Mode (from "Zero Day" and "God Mode"), and assists Reese to escape Dominic. Dominic flees, but Fusco, along with NYPD, arrests him and Elias. Control, along with Agent Grice, tries to find out what exactly "the Correction" is. Control is duped into believing that Greer is attempting a power-play through a terrorist attack on the Supreme Court, but Greer reveals that "the Correction" is actually list of people created by Samaritan who need to be eliminated for the betterment of the society, who will be killed quietly. During this confrontation Dominic, Elias, and Agent Grice are killed by Samaritan snipers, but Fusco is allowed to live, as Samaritan does not know of his involvement with the Machine. Control's actions prove she is not loyal to Samaritan, and she is captured and sent to be killed. Root, in God Mode, with Finch starts collecting things at the request of the Machine. In the process they infiltrate Caleb Phipps' (from "2πR" and "Blunt") company to steal his compression algorithm and some high capacity RAM chips, but Caleb willingly gives them to Finch as he had saved his life previously. Reese regroups with Finch and Root at an electrical substation hidden in residential Brooklyn. There they discover that the machine spread itself over the power grid in boxes attached to electrical poles after the events of two years prior, and that Samaritan has been causing the power surges to destroy the boxes. Finch and Root handle the downloading of the Machine's core code to a briefcase contained with the compression algorithm and RAM chips while Reese, assisted by The Machine, takes out all of the Samaritan operatives who have reached the substation. The Machine, now severely weakened by the power surge and near death, talks to Finch: "Father, I am sorry. I failed. I didn't know how to win. I had to invent new rules. I thought you would want me to stay alive. Now, you are not sure. If you think I have lost my way, then maybe I should die." Finch replies "You are my creation; I can't let you die." The Machine thanks Finch for creating it before the final power surge enters the substation. Finch manages to save the briefcase, and the team walk out to face more Samaritan operatives. |
