Summary: The new Person of Interest is a young trader who has become involved
in a multi-million dollar financial scam, and Reese has to pose as a
wealthy investor to watch their client.
Finch measures Reese for a new suit
and explains that their new number is a
prop trader, Adam Saunders, who works
at Baylor Zimm.
Saunders has already been accused
of insider trading and Finch figures that
his risk-taking may have gotten him into
trouble. He gives Reese a book and tells
him that it’s most important to dress well
and look clever.
Someone on the phone warns their
partner that Saunders has seen too
much, and the partner assures him that
they’ll clean it up.
Adam’s manager Paul Ashton tells him
that he’ll be working with their new
client’s representative, and that Adam was requested by name. Reese arrives and explains that
his client prefers to remain anonymous. Meanwhile, Finch is on the rooftop setting up while
Reese gives Adam $153 million as a test. First, Adam catches a newscast about the trial of
Virtanen CEO Robert Keller for murder.
The senior broker, Victor, comes over and says that the smart money is already in on the
buyout of Keller’s company. The only thing that could change is if Keller is acquitted. Sydney
Baylor, a partner in the firm, comes over and Finch warns Reese that she has a reputation. She
accuses Adam of holding the sell tickets on Virtanen until the last minute to keep her in the
dark about the fact that he short-sold the company. Adam stands by his decision and insists on
letting it ride. Sydney agrees and Keller is found guilty, meaning that Adam’s gamble paid off.
She congratulates Adam but warns that the next time he tries it, he’ll be out.
Adam suggests to Reese that they have a drink after closing bell to celebrate. As he leaves,
Reese tries to force-pair his phone but fails. He tells Finch, who suggests that someone else may
already have blue-jacked it, meaning someone else is interested in Adam.
Reese figures that Adam could have ticked someone else off by gambling, but Finch figures
that Adam is in it for the rush, not the win.
