Person of Interest Episode Guide
As Finch helps the guests at the front desk, he uses his computer to hack into the hotel’s
surveillance cameras. He spots Derek and Bud meeting with Mira and listens in as Derek warns
the maid that the police are asking around about his side operation. Mira insists that she didn’t
say anything to them and Derek figures that she’s telling the truth.
In Washington, the Special Counsel calls Hersh, who admits that it took him awhile to get out
of Rikers. The killer assures his superior that he now knows who he’s looking for, but the Special
Counsel warns him that their source has been compromised since Reese’s break-in at the DoD.
Hersh explains that he plans to keep an eye on crimes in New York and look for the ones that
signify Reese’s presence. Once he signs off, Hersh steals a police car, turns on the scanner, and
drives off.
Carter is working at the station when Cal Beecher comes to see her. He warns Carter that
his mother set him up with a woman she knows from church, but he told her that he’s seeing
someone else. Cal asks if Carter has told her son Taylor about him and Carter admits that she
had. The detective suggests that he and Taylor get together sometime just as SAIC Moss with the
FBI comes in. Carter says that they’ll talk later and then meets with Moss, who explains that he
wants to follow up on Donnelly’s recommendation to recruit Carter as a FBI agent. She agrees
and Moss says that he’ll have to run a polygraph test on her. He offers to do it that night at the
station. As they talk, Fusco listens in. Once Moss leaves, Fusco asks his partner if she’s going
through with it and Carter says that she is.
At the hotel, Reese goes to the concierge’s desk and worries that they haven’t spotted anything.
They do a spot a woman who has been with several different male guests and they figure that
Derek is running an escort ring. While Finch calls to have Carter do some research, Derek comes
over and complains that Reese is lounging around. As Reese leaves, Carter informs Finch that
the vice squad picked up a girl at the hotel on prostitution charges. Bud the doorman posted her
bail and the girl refused to testify against her boss. Carter asks Finch about the polygraph test,
since he’s been listening in on all her conversations, and Finch advises her to try and lie on one
of the baseline questions, ruining the rest of the test. He also suggests that she avoid Finch and
Reese for the time being.
Mira is in the hallway when Harris comes out of his room and tells her that they need to
talk. When Finch spots them together, he checks Harris’ room service bill and confirms that he’s
spent most of his time drinking. Meanwhile, Reese is taking a woman, Betty, to her room. She
flirts with him and suggests that he come up later as part of ”room service,” and Reese quickly
leaves. He checks on Mira and hears her arguing with Harris, who wants her to listen to reason.
Reese uses his key to enter and finds Harris showing Mira some photos. He quickly puts them
away and Reese claims that he came in to check the mini-bar. Harris calls Mira ”Miss Brozi” and
asks her to think about his offer, but she walks out past Reese. When Reese goes after her, Mira
accuses him of keeping an eye on her for Derek. Reese tells the maid that he knows she tipped
off the police and that he knows about the floor manager’s escort service. Mira tells him to stay
out of it, insisting she can do fine on her own.
Reese goes back to the concierge desk to check with Finch, who has run an ID check on
Harris. The man is a freelance reporter who writes stories speaking out against dictators. As they
talk, Reese spots a man in a turtleneck sweater who has been sitting in the lobby since they
arrived. Rees realizes that he has a clear line of sight to the doors and calls Zoe to help them. She
comes down, sits next to the man, and spills a drink on him. As soon as he leaves, another man
sits down in the same chair, while Finch confirms that two other men have shifted positions.
Reese realizes that they’re a military recon team using standard tactics and wonders who would
send a hit squad to kill a hotel maid.
Once the first man cleans up in his room and goes back downstairs, Reese enters his room,
which Finch confirms is registered to a Peter Krief out of Germany. While Reese searches the
room and finds files on Harris, Finch hacks the reporter’s computer via the hotel wifi and discovers
that his current story is about Colonel Rudko Petrovic, a Serbian officer running for prime
minister. He’s accused of war crimes and Harris was preparing a story confirming Petrovic was
guilty. Mira witnessed Petrovic kill her family and they figure that Petrovic sent the hit squad to
kill her as soon as they identify her as Harris’ witness.
Finch has Fusco come in, sending him a photo of the killers. Meanwhile, the assault team
moves back to their original positions and Reese goes to find Mira in the basement. As she leaves
for the day, one of the killers comes at her and Reese takes him out. Once he’s hidden the
