Person of Interest Episode Guide
students leave, Beckner logs onto Caleb’s computer and downloads a file. After watching Beckner,
Finch goes outside and gives Caleb back the coding he dropped. Much to Caleb’s surprise, Finch
compliments him on the coding and then gives him a suggestion to implement his program.
Once Caleb leaves, Finch meets Fusco outside and they tail Caleb. He goes to an alleyway to
meet with his supplier, Roman, but discovers the man lying on the ground. The local drug dealer,
Lorenzo, steps out with two of his men and demands to know why Caleb is selling drugs on his
turf. While Finch and Fusco move in, Lorenzo tells Caleb that he’s heard he’s planning to leave
town and agrees to let him if he pays back all of the money he made from Lorenzo’s customers.
The drug lord gives Caleb until 8 that night to pay off and lets him off with a warning... for the
moment.
That night, Fusco and Finch watch the Phipps apartment again and Fusco wonders why
Caleb is picking a fight with Lorenzo. He then gives Finch the police transcripts from the night of
Ryan’s death. On them, Caleb initially reported that Ryan was fighting with two kids. However,
later, Caleb retracted his story and said it was an accident. Fusco figures that Caleb is getting
revenge on Diego and Ronnie, who must be the kids that killed Ryan, by setting them up to
take the fall for dealing drugs. Meanwhile, Finch monitors Beckner and confirms that he’s still
accessing Caleb’s computer. Finch listens in as Beckner calls an old college ate, Howard Glazer,
and asks for a meeting to sell him something valuable. Finch tells Fusco to keep watching Caleb
while he follows Beckner.
Beckner goes to a restaurant and meets with Howard. Much to Howard’s surprise, Beckner
has an advanced compression algorithm to sell him that he claims is his. The teacher wants
Howard to provide startup money to fund development, and a skeptical Howard points out that
Beckner wasn’t that good a programmer in college. Beckner insists that he wrote it and that
no one else knows about it, and Howard agrees to have his company provide the development
money.
The next day, Fusco calls Finch and tells him that he’s going to meet with the transit cop,
Murphy, who called in Ryan’s death.
Meanwhile, Finch checks Caleb’s computer and discovers that the teenager is shifting his
money into a trust fun. Beckner texts Caleb and asks for an 8 p.m. meeting that night, the same
time that Lorenzo wants his money. Fusco suggests that they leave Caleb to his fate and help get
Reese out of prison, and Finch tells him that he already has someone on it.
That night, Carter breaks into the lab and replaces Reese’s DNA with that of the man from
the bar.
Finch continues watching on the webcam as Caleb comes home and deals with his mother.
She tells him that she’ll be better the next day and he agrees. Since he doesn’t know which
appointment Caleb will keep at 8, Finch calls Fusco at the station. The detective says that he’ll
be there shortly and then interviews Murphy. When he realizes that Murphy isn’t telling the
whole story, Fusco calls the transit cop on it and Murphy explains that Caleb lied when he said
there were two other kids who shoved Ryan. He explains that Ryan and Caleb were the only
people there. They had been drinking and dared each other to cross the subway tracks. Ryan
lost and was killed. When Murphy realized the truth, he told Caleb that he’d write it off as an
accident. The transit cop admits that he’s not sure if Caleb came out of it for the better and tells
Fusco that some things can’t be fixed .
Once he’s done, Fusco checks with Finch, who admits that he lost Caleb when he took a
city bus. Fusco goes to stake out Lorenzo, returning to the alleyway where he met Caleb earlier.
Finch goes to the high school and runs into Beckner coming out. Beckner finally admits that
Caleb approached him about the compression algorithm. The student asked for some money,
saying he was going to take a trip, and offered the algorithm in exchange. Caleb didn’t want any
credit but Beckner shows Finch the paperwork proving that he was going to give Caleb full credit
for the work as well as all of the money. He only told Howard it was his own idea to convince the
man to invest. When Beckner explains that he’s placing Caleb’s money into a trust fund for his
mother, number 17-6-21, Finch realizes what the number means and tells Beckner that Caleb
won’t live to see the money.
Finch finds Caleb in the subway station where Ryan died two years ago. He talks to the
student about making mistakes and how they’re part of what someone is and there’s no moving
beyond them. Caleb isn’t interested but Finch explains that he knows the significance of the
trust fund number: Ryan was 17 years, 7 months, and 21 days old when he died. Caleb is now
