Person of Interest Episode Guide
Finch has Carter meet Reese at the Department of City Planning. She’s surprised to discover
that he’s passing himself off as a Federal Marshal using a stolen badge. The city planning manager
tells them that Abby downloaded a file on a Wall Street building and walked out with no
one the wiser. They’ve checked and confirmed that the building has no vital infrastructure. Once
Reese walks out Carter goes with him and asks why he’s taking risks. She warns him that Donnelly
is back on the hunt and Reese says that they already know. Carter realizes that Reese and
Carter are listening in on her private conversations using her cloned cell phone and tells them
to stop. Reese notices a surveillance camera across the street and asks Carter to get them the
footage.
Back at the library, Reese reviews the footage with Finch and confirms that after she stole the
file, Abby rode off with a man on a motorcycle. Carter has traced the motorcycle and confirmed
that it was stolen, and she realizes that they have her computer tapped as well. They review the
robbery footage and Reese points out that the thief had a high-tech prosthetic hand. That and
the fact that man used plastic explosive to blast his way in suggests that he’s ex-military. Carter
checks the files and confirms that the motorcycle was spotted near the theft of plastic explosive
from a construction sight in New Jersey two nights ago. They figure that Abby and the thief are
going blow up a building using the plans that Abby stole. Carter warns Reese and Finch that she
has to put out on APB on Abby, and Finch tells Reese to track the girl down before the police find
her.
At the station, Fusco checks with a fellow detective, Olson, who has worked with Cal in the
past. Olson admits that Cal had expensive tastes and might have been on the take, but admits
that he can’t prove anything.
Reese and Finch review the facts and figure that Abby and the thief are up to something
big. However, it must be personal because the Machine would notify the authorities if it were a
terrorist incident. Finch traces the pay phone that Abby gave as her telephone number on her
employment form and has Reese check that out while goes to the military charity that Abby
worked at. As Reese leaves, Finch points out that he seems strangely happy. Reese tells him that
it must be the job, surprising Finch.
At the payphone, Reese finds a tap line leading to a nearby apartment. He breaks in and
there’s no one in at the moment. Searching the place, Reese finds a box of medals belonging to
Abby’s younger brother, Josh.
Finch goes to the charity office posing as a friend of Abby’s family. He talks to the manager,
Philip Chapple, who says that Abby started by stealing petty cash but eventually embezzled funds
from the veterans. He had no choice but to let her go.
Reese finds Abby’s video to her parents and in it, she explains that she’s doing what’s right.
She insists that Josh would agree with her and hopes that her parents will be proud of her when
she knows the truth.
Chapple tells Finch that a former Marine who came in for a loan may have influenced Abby.
He reluctantly gives Finch the Marine’s name, Shayn Coleman. Finch has Carter check on it
and she confirms that Shayn was a bomb disposal expert who lost his left arm disarming an
IED. Shayn disappeared two months ago when the bank foreclosed on his house and his fiancee
dumped him. While Carter adds Shayn’s name to Abby’s APB, Finch watches Chapple and sees
him meet with two mercenaries, Packer and Kelly. Finch tells Reese that Chapple slipped a GPS
transponder into his pocket in the office, but he’s already put it on a garbage truck heading for
New Jersey. While he breaks into the office after hours, Reese will wait at the apartment for Abby.
Reese advises against it but Finch is willing to take the risk.
That night, Finch breaks into the office and discovers that the alarm has been disabled. A
small explosion goes off as Shayn blows the safe open, and the ex-Marine comes out, grabs
Finch, and slams him into the wall. Finch tells him that they both have to get out before the
police arrive.
At the apartment, Abby comes home and Reese grabs her, trying to reassure her that she’s
safe.
Shayn goes to the safe and starts removing papers while Finch downloads the files from
Chapple’s computer. They then head for the door, pausing when Kelly comes in. Shayn is ready
to shoot him but Finch persuades him to just knock the man out. As they go outside, Kelly
recovers and joins his partner Packer. Finch has no choice but to get on Shayn’s motorcycle and
ride off with him.
