Person of Interest Episode Guide
Tritak. Bob admits that he doesn’t know much and finally tells Finch that he knew something
fishy was going on. He trusted Adam and the brokers that Adam put him in contact with. Bob
explains that when his sister died, Adam’s father disappeared while looking for work. Each month
Adam’s father sent $200 home, but Adam saved it all in shoe boxes. When he grew up, he used
it to enroll in night s and buy himself a future.
Rasmussen approaches Adam on the street and mentions Tritak. Reese shows up and listens
in as Adam insists that he doesn’t know anything. When Rasmussen warns him that he’ll be
going to prison if he doesn’t talk, Adam says that he ran the numbers and figures that someone
must be insider trading. He has the numbers on the laptop in his office and Rasmussen tells
him to get them. Adam goes to his desk but gets a text message from Sydney telling him to meet
her on the roof. He takes the laptop and takes the elevator up, while Finch intercepts the text
messages and warns Reese.
When Adam gets to the roof, a masked man knocks Adam out and starts to haul him over the
edge. Reese arrives and knocks the attackers out, and gets Adam to the elevator. Adam realizes
that Reese isn’t an investor, and Reese demands answers. The broker explains that he illegally
checked the numbers on Bob’s investments. He wrote an email about the insider trading and was
going to send it around, but the partners told him to keep it secret to avoid the SEC investigation.
Adam admits that he told a few friends at the firm about what he discovered, including Sydney.
Carter checks the stolen vehicles from the construction site and gets a report on one reported
theft. Three vehicles were taken, including an old garbage truck.
Reese takes Adam to Sydney’s penthouse and they discover that someone has killed her.
There’s a champagne bottle lying nearby, the one that Sydney and Adam drank from the other
night, and Reese figures that the killers planted fingerprints and figured that he would take the
blame after his body was found, an apparent suicide. The police pull up out front and Reese
takes Adam out the back.
Carter arrives and talks to the investigating officer, Fordes. She figures that it’s a setup and
that someone using a garbage truck went through the trash and found the champagne bottle to
implicate Adam. Meanwhile, Reese takes Adam to an abandoned warehouse where the homeless
are squatting. When Adam refuses to stay, Reese tells him that he stayed there for four months
and directs him to a woman named Joan. He gives Adam a phone and tells him not to use it until
Reese calls him. As Reese leaves, Adam tells him to talk to Victor, who would be the next rung
on the management ladder and know about the Tritak investments.
Reese returns to the library and Finch tells him that Congress has just passed a bill to perform
fracking in upstate New York, meaning Tritak’s pipeline is useless. Everyone who has invested in
Tritak will lose millions. The next day, Reese goes to the company to talk to Victor and warns him
that the people responsible have been using him as a patsy. Victor says that someone powerful
got to the senators who passed the bill and got the fracking okayed. Reese wonders who wanted
Tritak to fail and leaves.
At the warehouse, Adam sees a newspaper with a story on Tritak and calls Reese. He warns
him that it’s a short sale and someone pumped up the price and sold high, knowing the bill
would pass. Adam tells Reese to find out which brokers there are buying back the Tritak shares
to cover the short sale. He then calls Bob to apologize, and Bob warns that every employee that
works for him is at risk. He tells his nephew that he’s a Saunders, not a Sowoski. Adam hangs
up, unaware that someone watching Bob is tracing the call.
Reese has Finch go into Baylor Zimm after hours and access their computers. He confirms
that Paul was the broker who short-sold the Tritak shares and hacks into his phone GPS to get
his location. Meanwhile, Reese goes to see Adam and tell him about Paul, but Adam insists that
there are SEC security measures in place and Paul couldn’t have done it alone. Reese figures
that Paul had help from within the SEC.
Rasmussen goes to a park bench and meets with Paul. The investigator complains about how
the SEC was defanged so he decided to join them rather than beat them. Finch listens in via
Paul’s cell phone as Paul tells Rasmussen that he has buy orders in place to get the shares
they need in the morning. He warns Rasmussen that Adam could be a problem and Rasmussen
assures him that he has it under control.
At the warehouse, Joan advises Adam to use the newspaper to stay warm. He wonders how
everything could have turned bad when he worked to achieve everything he has, and Reese tells
him that he knows about how Adam grew up. Adam tells Reese that when he was 16 he went to
65
