Person of Interest Episode Guide
The next day, Carter is at the station looking at photos from Ronnie’s camera. She admits to
Fusco that she has nothing on Hector, and the security cameras around the bodega don’t show
Hector’s car. Carter figures that since Hector lives 25 blocks away from the bodega, he must
have had a mistress. They figure that Hector was on foot after coming from his mistress’, and
that they can get her to place Hector near the crime scene. Fusco gets a call from Reese and
takes it privately. Reese tells him to follow Carter and keep her out of trouble while he takes
care of some other business. When Fusco wonders why Reese is so concerned, Reese says that
Carter is a good person. The detective suggests that if Carter were killed, things would be easier
for Reese, and Reese warns him that if anything happens to Carter, he’ll come after Fusco next.
Reese goes to Hector’s car shop while he’s out and blasts open the door with a grenade
launcher. He then shoots down Hector’s men and finds the guns that their boss is running.
Reese collects them and drives away in one of Hector’s cars.

Carter promises to protect Yusuf and his family if he helps her. He points out that she doesn’t
care about him and his family and it’s just a negotiation. Carter knows about his son, who can’t
play soccer because the field is too dangerous, and his brother who was killed by an IED. She
insists that Yusuf is not just a negotiation to her, and he asks if she has children. Carter says
that she has one and Yusuf asks if she would trust him to a complete stranger. Carter says that
they’ve both lost people close to them and want the same thing: their children to be able to walk
safely down the street. Yusuf finally offers to take her to the location of the explosives... for their
children.
The Present
Carter and Fusco go to see Bottle Cap and ask if he’s found out anything about Hector’s
mistress. Bottle Cap confirms that Hector is stepping out with Mei Li, a stripper. Carter promises
to pay him the reward money later if his tip pays off, and Bottle Cap, agrees, saying that Carter
is his favorite cop.
Next, Carter calls in Monica and lets her know that Hector is cheating on her. Monica doesn’t
believe it, but Carter has Hector’s cell phone record, complete with 39 calls to Mei Li. They dial
the number and confirm that the phone belongs to Mei Li, who is in the interrogation room
with Fusco. They put the two women in the interrogation room to settle their differences. Officer
Valentino informs Carter that they have a report that someone shot up Hector’s car shop. She
figures that it’s her mystery man, and then learns that Hector has gone missing.
Finch is watching Carter on the camera as Reese comes in and tells him that he’s eliminated
Hector as a problem. Finch warns that Carter will track down Hector to get justice for Ronnie.
Reese figures that Hector will be well armed and that he has to find him before Carter does.
When Finch asks if anything is wrong, Reese says that Carter has been doing what they’ve been
doing her entire life, and that they can’t afford to lose her.
Carter and Fusco check with the two women, who are angry at Hector for playing them both.
Mei Li tells the detectives that Hector went out around midnight and came back from the bodega
and changed his shirt. She offers Carter the shirt while Monica tells them that Hector has a
warehouse in Queens where he receives shipments. Carter goes to get a warrant but receives a
call from Mrs. Kovach, saying that her husband has a gun. The detective tells Mrs. Kovach that
she’ll be there and leaves. Finch, monitoring her phone, tries to contact Reese without success.
Carter and Fusco go to the Kovach home and find Kovach strung up from the ceiling. They
figure that Reese was responsible, and Carter finds Mrs. Kovach hiding in the bathroom. She
explains that a man showed up and protected her from her husband. The phone rings and Reese
tells Carter that she’s in trouble. She warns that sooner or later an innocent person will get hurt
because of him, but Reese focuses on her and tells Carter that someone wants her dead. He tells
her to be more careful and warns that Hector has an arsenal available. When Carter wonders
why he keeps helping her, Reese only says that he always seems to know and drives away.
At the station, Elias poses as a deliveryman and delivers flowers to Carter’s desk. He spots her
file on him and looks around as Carter and Fusco bring in Kovach. Carter is happy to tell him
that his wife is finally pressing charges against him. When she gets to her desk, Carter discovers
the flowers and a condolence card concerning her death. She tosses the flowers in the garbage
and nervously looks around.
