Person of Interest Episode Guide
Finch that he’ll have Carter look into it while Finch continues running checks on the man’s
finances.
Carter checks with Detective Szymanski, who confirms that Lou was connected to the Jersey
City mob in the 1970s. Those men are long gone, but the new ones are even worse and are
heavily involved with narcotics. Carter has Terney run a background check on Detective Stiles.
Cal comes in to invite Carter to quick. She wants to think about it and Cal says that he’s already
made reservations for the coming weekend. Carter agrees and asks him to help her look into the
Venus Casino.
Reese follows Lou back to the casino and Finch is surprised to learn that Lou has just forked
over $1,500. He wants to access Lou’s loyalty card to figure out his gambling habits, and hacks
the casino computer through their online blackjack games. Finch slips malware into the computer
system, while Reese notices Makris has come over to bet against Lou. Makris is a local
celebrity and Carter has been looking into him for cocaine distribution. Meanwhile, Lou loses
and Makris invites him to have a free spin at the wheel. When Lou swipes his card, Finch accesses
the man’s gambling history and learns that he’s lost $2,000 a day for the last six months.
Back at the library, Reese and Finch try to work out where the money is coming from. Reese
suggests that Lou may be a retired mobster, but Finch refuses to believe that Lou could hurt
anyone.
At the station, Carter is surprised to see IAB bring Szymanski in. Szymanski insists that he’s
been framed and the IAB officer, Ginsberg, will only say that someone in Narcotics got a tip
from a CI that turned out to be true. As they lead Szymasnki away, he tells Carter that he was
supposed to testify that day and someone is dirtying him up to keep him off the stand.
At the courthouse, ADA Melinda Wright tells the judge that Russian mobster Peter Yogorov
was supposed to be on trial for murder. Wright figures that Yogorov planted the evidence against
Szymanski to keep him from testifying and asks for a continuance. Meanwhile, Simmons approaches
Yogorov as the bailiff leads him out and takes command of the prisoner. The HR man
informs Yogorov that the primary witness against him won’t be testifying and leads him out.
He takes Yogorov to meet with Quinn, who explains that Szymanski’s testimony is now under
scrutiny. Quinn offers to keep Yogorov and his brother out of prison in return for cash. Yogorov,
who knows all about HR, agrees as long as Quinn can get him freed.
Finch takes up tailing Lou back to the pharmacy. Meanwhile, Reese visits with some of the
local crooks in Jersey City and confirms that all of Lou’s mob buddies are dead of natural causes.
None of them have heard that Lou is in debt to loan sharks. Finch notices that several of the
gamblers from the casino are frequenting the pharmacy, and points out that Lou picked up a
prescription two days in a row. He tells Reese that he’ll get someone to do some digging and
Reese heads out to do some digging of his own.
Finch calls Leon and has him do some checking. Leon confirms that the Pharmacy is owned
by Lionwood Enterprises, a shell company with only one confirmed partner: Darien Makris. Lou
comes over and tells Finch to introduce himself if he’s going to tail him. He has Finch sit down
with him and asks why he’s been following him. Finch gives him an alias and claims that he’s
with the IRS and looking into the Venus Casino. He asks Lou where he’s getting his money, and
Lou offers to play him baccarat for answers. Much to Finch’s surprise, Lou deals and wins the
first hand and asks why Finch thinks he needs help. Lou keeps dealing and winning, and Finch
checks his sleeves. He asks Lou to let him help him, but Lou refuses and walks away. As he
leaves, he takes Finch’s car keys that he’s pickpocket and tosses them in the lobster tank so that
Finch can’t follow him.
Reese picks Lou up at the casino again and realizes that he lost Finch. He checks with Finch,
who is back at the library, and Finch figures that Lou is throwing the games. As Makris comes
over to talk with Lou, Finch checks on the people from the gambler and realizes that they’ve
been losing money at the same rate as Lou. Finch figures that Makris is using senior citizens
to launder his drug money. Reese spots one man tossing a prescription bottle into a garbage
can. He goes over to check it out and discovers there are dozens of similar bottles inside. Reese
figures that Makris is forcing them to run money for him, and realizes that Lou’s Number came
up because Lou is skimming money from Makris.
At the precinct house, Carter and Cal watch as IAB interrogates Szymanski. Carter asks if Cal
knows who made the call from Narcotics, and he admits that he did it. He refuses to tell her the
name of his CI, but insists that the evidence speaks for itself. She walks out and Terney tries to
