Person of Interest Episode Guide
comes out ”clean,” and he dumps what is actually a fake item off in his antique shop. Elias
points out that HR will be coming for Hayden when they discover that he’s conning their money
launderer.
When Carter goes back to her squad car, Laskey wonders who she’s meeting with. She tells
him not to worry about it and the rookie cop admits that he knows what HR is really like now.
Carter warns Laskey that she’s not on his side and orders him to call in sick so he can follow
Simmons and see where the trail of the laundered money leads.
Touched by Hayden’s plea, Reese takes the conman to the hotel where they’re keeping Natalie.
Reese gives the couple some time alone so that Hayden can explain and checks in with Finch.
Finch says that he’s checked Sven’s computer and discovered that Hayden accessed the dealer’s
emails. The conman changed one email from HR telling Sven to bid on a particular lot, altering
it to a different lot number. Reese goes in to question Hayden and discovers that the man has
slipped out the window.
That night, Carter goes to Sven’s shop and demands answers. When he grabs a gun, Fusco
comes up behind him and takes the gun. They tie Sven up and explain that Hayden has been
conning him. Sven tells them that Simmons set him up with Customs and then bailed him out,
and now Sven repays his debt by laundering HR money. He has finally gotten rid of all the money
that HR gave him to dump, and plans on leaving. Carter explains that Hayden set him up to buy
a real 1927 autographed Yankees baseball worth $4.4 million. Sven tells them that a soda kid
came in and bought the ball earlier, and realizes that without the ball or the money, he’s in
deep trouble. Fusco dumps Sven on the floor and pours fake blood on him, and Carter takes a
photo and tells Sven that he’ll be leaving town on a fake identity. She then forwards the photo
to Laskey and tells him to show it to Simmons as evidence that he followed his orders. However,
before Laskey can do so, Simmons calls him and tells him to hold on killing Sven because they’ve
discovered that they didn’t get the baseball back. Laskey hesitates and then tells his HR superior
that they have a problem.
As they leave, Carter and Fusco call Finch and tell him that a soda kid has the $4.4 baseball,
and HR will be looking for him.
Hayden meets the soda kid on the street corner where he sells pop and pays him $20 for
completing the task he gave him: buying the ball from Sven’s shop.
The next morning, Reese and Finch wonder whether Hayden will abandon Natalie. Finch
figures that the conman will try to get to his girlfriend and taps Natalie’s phone. Hayden calls her
and she demands the truth, and says that she’s leaving town and going back home if he doesn’t
come clean with her. He finally admits that a conman, and that he’s made the one big score they
need to travel.
Hayden tells her to meet him at his old office and Natalie reluctantly agrees.
Simmons meets Alonzo at a groundbreaking ceremony and tells him what’s going on. Alonzo
blames Simmons for screwing up and tells him to get the ball back. His underling assures him
that they’ve already tapped Natalie’s phone and that they know Hayden will pick her up. Alonzo
tells Simmons to make everything right or he’ll be sorry.
When Hayden goes back to his old office to meet Natalie, he finds Reese and Fusco waiting for
him. They force him to hand over the baseball and Fusco confirms that it’s authentic. Hayden
asks for a chance to call Natalie and Reese reluctantly gives him thirty seconds. However, when
the conman makes the call, he gets Terney, who says that they have Natalie. Terney gives Hayden
twenty minutes to meet him at the auction house and turn over the baseball. Once Hayden hangs
up, Reese asks him what he plans to do.
Hayden admits that he hoped to con himself into becoming the man that Natalie wanted, and
asks Reese to help him.
Outside the auction house, Simmons has Laskey wait with Natalie in the car while Terney
takes Hayden inside so their appraiser Nagel can confirm that the baseball is real. Once he does,
Laskey will kill Natalie and Terney will kill Hayden. Laskey suggests that they let Natalie go since
she’s harmless, but Simmons tells him to mind his place. Hayden arrives and shows them the
baseball, and Simmons orders him to go in with Terney and his men. Before he goes, Hayden
whispers an apology to Natalie. Once they’re inside, Nagel takes the baseball and checks it.
Carter and Sam approach Laskey at the car and he admits that Carter was right and HR was
going to kill an innocent woman. He gives his gun to Carter and tells her to make it look good,
and Carter knocks him out.
