Person of Interest Episode Guide
Reese and Sam follows the tracker to Thornhill’s company, only to find Decima’s mercenaries
waiting for them. They easily dispose of the men and find Greer waiting for them. He refuses
to stop the virus and explains that he found it on the laptop that Reese and Kara were sent to
China to retrieve. Greer informs Reese that the man who designed the virus was Finch, although
he admits that he hasn’t been able to locate the man. More Decima mercenaries arrive and open
fire, and Greer slips away in the confusion.
2010 Day 3178 — Nathan explains that he bought the abandoned library and 14 others like
it on Finch’s recommendation. When Finch notices a board with photos on it, Nathan explains
that he’s been trying to save ”irrelevant” Numbers given to him by The Machine. He’s saved five
but lost seven, and explains that he couldn’t let them die even though Finch and the government
consider them irrelevant. All he can get from the Machine is their Social Security Numbers, and
no indication that they’re victim or perpetuator. Finch warns his partner that the government
can track Nathan if they put their mind to it, and starts to shut down The Machine. Nathan asks
Finch if he can look the next Number in the eye and say that they’re irrelevant, but Finch insists
that there’s a greater good involved. He sadly says that people die every day and they can’t save
them all. Once The Machine is shut down, Finch walks away... unaware that the next Number
on the screen is Nathan.
2013 Day 4138 — Greer calls his mercenaries throughout the city and tells them that the virus
has revealed which payphone the call will go to: the New York City Public Library.
Finch takes Root to the public library and shows her the phone The Machine will use. Two
Decima mercenaries arrive to guard it so Root goes upstairs to the building’s juncture box. She
tasers the mercenary guarding it and tells Harold to intercept the call from there so they can
save The Machine from Decima... and from Finch’s destructive programming. She’ll have The
Machine tell her where she can find it and then go to save it.
As the police secure the crime scene, IAB detective Ed Solis arrives and tells Carter that she’s
under arrest. Terney has already spoken with Solis and told him that the suspect didn’t have a
gun. When Carter checks the crime scene, she discovers that the gun has disappeared.
Reese and Sam follow Finch to the library and exchange shots with the Decima mercenaries.
Root watches from the balcony and tells Finch that his ”pet” has arrives. Meanwhile, Reese
finishes off the last man and checks his phone, and discovers that more mercenaries are on
their way.
At midnight, The Machine reboots and goes into debugging mode. It calls and the phone near
Root rings. She answers it, unaware that Finch has rerouted the call a second time and sent a
text message to Reese to answer it. Meanwhile, Root tells the caller at the other end that she
understands. She then tells Finch that they’re going on a trip and the fun is just beginning.
Reese answers the phone and The Machine asks if he can hear it.
