Person of Interest Episode Guide
Reese and Sam continue watching Hayden while Finch sends in a basket of pastries with a
bug planted inside. As Hayden questions one patient and then accesses his business account,
the team listen in. The next patient is Sven Vanger, an antiques dealer, who talks about how he
is finding meaning in his work again. After the session, Hayden goes to his apartment and meets
his girlfriend, Natalie Boal. Finch checks her background and discovers that she works at an
antique store, and that she was referred to Hayden for therapy.
In the apartment, Hayden assures Natalie that one day the two of them will have enough
money to take a trip and will pick a destination at random.
Later, Reese and Sam watch as Hayden leaves abruptly and goes to the park to meet with a
financier, Russell. Hayden assures Russell that the exchange rates are favorable, and shows him
a briefcase holding his contribution of $50,000. Russell matches the amount and they go to a
building under construction. As Reese and Sam watch from the shadows, Hayden tells Russell
that his contact will meet them there. Detective Decker of the NYPD bursts in and tells Hayden
that he’s under arrest. Hayden goes for his gun and both men fire, killing each other. Russell
quickly runs off as Finch asks Reese and Sam why they’re not interfering. Once Russell is gone,
Decker and Hayden get back up and check their Kevlar vests. Hayden lies, telling Decker that
Russell only gave him $20,000, and gives him his cut before they go their separate ways.
Alonzo meets Carter at a diner for coffee and questions her about her private investigation
into his godson Cal’s murder. She suggests that Cal’s file is sealed because HR is involved, even
though the Feds broke them up. Carter warns Alonzo that the FBI didn’t get all of them and he
offers to go to the mayor. She refuses, saying that she doesn’t want to put him at risk, and leaves
for her shift. Once she’s gone, Simmons texts Alonzo and asks if Carter is going to be a problem.
Back at the library, Finch meets with Reese and Sam and suggests that Hayden is likely a
victim. He goes in to see Hayden for another session while Reese and Sam check on the other patients.
Once Hayden wraps up the session, Finch starts questioning him about his background.
When Hayden wonders why he’s so curious, Finch quickly leaves.
Simmons calls a meeting with Terney and Laskey and asks Laskey if he’s ready to step up. He
wants the rookie cop to dispose of a money launderer after he does one more job for HR. Terney
takes Laskey to an auction house to point out his target. Carter watches as Terney points out
Sven in the crowd, bidding on a rare baseball card. As she waits outside, she sees Reese and
Sam approaching.
While Sam goes inside, Reese talks to Carter and tells her what’s going on. They figure that
Hayden is after Sven’s money, unaware that it belongs to HR. If he succeeds, HR will come after
him.
Inside the auction house, Sven bids almost a million dollars for a rare baseball card and wins.
Terney tells Laskey to kill Sven the next day, but then sees Hayden sitting in the back watching
Sven. As Sven leaves, Carter follows him back to his antique shop and watches in surprise as he
tosses the baseball card into a discount bin.
When he gets the report about Hayden from Terney, Simmons runs a background check and
discovers that the conman has forged credentials. He tells Laskey to kill Sven and Hayden.
That night, Hayden and Natalie are walking back to their apartment when Hayden shows her
two airplane tickets and asks her to leave with him. She agrees as Reese, listening in, warns
Finch that Hayden is preparing to leave the country. Hayden then goes to his apartment and
destroys his laptop and his files. As he works, two killers come down on a window-washing
platform and open fire on him through the window. Hayden hides behind the desk but the two
men storm in and prepare to kill him. Reese and Sam arrive and kneecap them, and Sam checks
their IDs: they’re police officers. They then take Hayden to a safehouse and meets with Finch,
who warns Hayden that HR sent the killers. He also explains that he pretended to be Hayden’s
new assistant and convinced Natalie to lie low in a hotel room. Hayden insists that he had no
idea that Sven was laundering money for HR, and that he’s just been ripping him off like his
other victims. The conman gets up to leave, saying that he needs to find Natalie, and explains
that she is the only honest thing left about him so he wants to hold onto her.
The next morning, Finch calls Carter to see if she’s got a handle on Sven’s involvement with
HR. She meets with Elias, who she is still keeping hidden, and he explains that Sven launders
the HR money, which the organization uses to pay off the Russians to stay out of their business.
A HR representative puts a high-priced item up for bid, and then Sven goes in and bidding
whatever it takes to win it. He pays with HR money, which goes through the auction house and
