Person of Interest Episode Guide
Finch checks on Rossmore and informs Reese that the doctor now works for Philia Pharmaceuticals,
and they lost millions when Nelson and the board refused to sign off on their drug
trials.
After the funeral, Fusco goes over to Simmons and accuses HR of having to do with Cal’s
murder. When Fusco promises to take them down for the shooting, Simmons informs Fusco that
he no longer has HR’s protection, and informs him that Azarello has tipped off IAB about Fusco’s
connection to several murders.
Juliana offers her congratulations to Nelson, while Finch checks on her and discovers that
she’s Nelson’s protege. Despite that, she hasn’t made tenure at the university. Juliana knows
about Molly and says that his daughter left early, and then notices that Nelson’s nose is bleeding.
Reese comes over and gives Nelson a napkin, while Finch checks on Molly and learns that she
has an arrest record after assaulting a policeman at a campus demonstration. Meanwhile, Nelson
drops his champagne glass and Reese goes over to help him. As he helps Nelson to a chair, Reese
warns Finch that someone may have poisoned the doctor.
At the station, Detective Joseph Soriano with IAB approaches Fusco and tells him to hand
over his badge and his gun. Once Soriano locks Fusco up in an interrogation room, Carter goes in
and asks him what’s going on. Fusco tells her that it’s none of her business and reminds her that
when he tried to explain before, she said that she didn’t want to hear him out. He advises Carter
to stay away from him for her own sake. Carter gets a call from Finch and reluctantly steps out
to take it. Finch offers his condolences on Cal’s death and she wonders why they couldn’t save
her. Finch admits that he’s not sure why and then asks for her help. However, Carter tells him
that she has problems of her own and that for once he’s going to help her: she needs a phone
cloned.
Nelson goes to his university lab and calls Molly, thanking her for showing up. When she
objects to his work for the university, Nelson reminds her that it’s the university that pays his
salary and lets her keep a roof over her head. When his nose starts bleeding again, Nelson tells
Molly that he’ll get back to her. He starts vomiting up blood, unaware that Reese is watching
him from across the street. Weakening by the moment, Nelson calls 911 and tells the operator
that someone has poisoned him. As he staggers outside, Reese approaches him but the doctor
assumes that he’s connected to the poisoning. The police arrive in response to the 911 call and
Reese moves off before they can spot him. As the officers take Nelson to the hospital, Reese
informs Finch that he may have arrived too late to save Nelson.
Soriano tells Fusco that they’ve received a tip that he’s connected to Still’s disappearance. The
IAB officer wonders what Fusco’s connection is to Stills, and Fusco says that they worked a beat
together coming up. He ended up in Homicide while Stills went into narcotics.
2004 — Stills goes looking for his partner, and finds Fusco drinking in a bar. When Stills offers to
take his friend home, Fusco says that his wife has filed for divorce and is asking for full custody
of their son. Stills offers to put him up at his place and Fusco accepts.
The Present — Finch checks Nelson’s lab with a Geiger counter and Reese recognizes Nelson’s
symptoms as the result of polonium poison. The substance has to be ingested and is fatal if
not treated within an hour of administration. Reese goes to the hospital and meets with Nelson,
telling him that he’s there to help. However, Reese admits that there’s no cure for polonium
poison after the first hour, and that Nelson only has 24 hours to live. Nelson wonders what he
can do and Reese suggests that they look for his killer.
Once Nelson leaves the hospital, Reese advises him to get his affairs in honor. They visit Molly,
who is handing out pamphlets on campus. She wonders why he’s there and Nelson says that he
just wanted to see if everything is going okay with her. He apologize for not being more involved
in her life, and Molly angrily reminds him that he cheated on her mother. Nelson admits that he
made a lot of mistakes, but having her wasn’t one of them, and says that he’s proud of her.
Carter listens in on the cloned phone as Soriano tells Fusco that Azarello is claiming that
Fusco was his inside man with Homicide.
The IAB officer has a video of Azarello explaining how Fusco worked with him and Stills.

the details they need.
