Person of Interest Episode Guide
Henry calls Alicia, a name that he’s never heard of. His co-worker arrives and Henry admits that
he wipes his phone memory every day. Since the building is impenetrable to outside signals,
Reese goes in behind Henry and claims that he’s meeting with a CFA. Henry goes through a secure
door and Finch loses the signal, and the receptionist tells Reese that he’s not scheduled and
she can’t let him go back. Reese notices her holding a gun under her dock and quickly leaves,
and tells Finch that they’re dealing with a secret governmental information facility. He figures
Henry is some kind of spy and they wonder how to spy on a spy;.
Finch goes in posing as a technician, hides a camera and transceiver in a new coffeemaker,
and wires it directly into the building’s electrical system. Reese watches from the fan as Henry,
an intelligence analyst, explains how he tracked a terrorist. When Finch gets there, he confirms
that the building is a NSA listening station.
Henry goes home that night and Reese watches him. However, the analyst has no family or
friends and works around the clock. The landlord calls the police with a complaint and they
inform him that the landlord came in to fix a smoke alarm and found drugs. Henry insists that
they’re not his but they take him down to the station. Reese gets feedback from the bug and Finch
confirms that there’s another bug, meaning someone else is listening in. The listener leaves the
building and Reese follows him, but loses him in traffic. Reese tells Finch that he figures Henry
has been set up and wonders why.
The next day at the library, Reese looks around for clues about Finch and calls Carter. She
tells him that Henry made bail an hour ago. He only has a speeding ticket on his record, and he
fought to get it off by sending a 78-page brief to the judge. Once Carter hangs up, Finch comes
in and explains that he checked a nearby security camera. It shows the same guy Reese saw,
entering Henry’s apartment building. Reese goes to keep an eye on Henry.
Henry is at the office when his superior tells him that due to the arrest, he’s being placed
on administrative leave and his security clearance is suspended. His superior doesn’t believe his
claims that he’s being set up, and warns that if he files his complaints then Henry might seem
unstable. Reese watches and figures Henry is being forced off, and Finch wants to know why. On
the street, Henry tries to call Ted Gibbon, the Deputy Director of the NSA, but the man refuses
to take his calls. Reese and Finch figure that whatever Henry is into his big and that he asked
questions about the wrong thing.
As Henry goes into his apartment, Reese sees the damaged security camera that was working
the previous night and realizes that someone is in Henry’s apartment. When Henry enters his
apartment, he finds bills scattered on the floor and a whiskey bottle on the table. The man
from the previous night grabs Henry as Reese bursts in, and the two men struggle. The intruder
manages to escape and Reese tells Finch that they’re dealing with a government-trained assassin.
Henry has run off and Finch takes to the streets to track down the bug that Reese planted
on him earlier. Meanwhile, Henry gets through to Gibbons using his daughter’s cell phone and
reminds him that Gibbons called him off-the-record three weeks ago to thank him for a report on
a man named Carlson. He didn’t put Carlson’s name in the report, and Carlson was the key to
stopping a terrorist attack. Gibbons tells him not to call him again and hangs up. Reese catches
up to Finch, who tells Reese that they want Henry dead because he’s been asking about the
Machine.
2009 — Nathan meets with Alicia Corwin at a bar and tells her how his company will ship
the Machine to the government. She assures him that their facility for it is secure, and that
the Machine will send a suspect name to the proper authorities via untraceable means. Nathan
agrees, noting that only eight people know it exists. Alicia says that there are only seven and he
tries to cover up his slip of the tongue. He then asks if the people at her end can be trusted,
and she says that they’ll take care of it. Nathan realizes that something has her rattled, but she
insists that she’s fine but will be happy when she’s done with the Machine.
The Present — Carter calls Reese to warn him that someone saw him fighting at Henry’s. Finch
cuts off the call, insisting everything is fine, but she isn’t convinced. Meanwhile, Reese and Finch
continues to follow Henry, and Reese asks what is going on. Finch explains that the Machine isn’t
legal, and that the people he entrusted it to are more ruthless than he anticipated. Henry gets
a call from Alicia, and Reese realizes that it’s Alicia Corwin. Henry tells her that his report went
through her office but it’s been shut down for a year. Alicia says, a single word, ’sibilance,’ and
tells him to run. As he takes off, Finch tells Reese that they need to stop Henry before he learns
anything else. If he talks to anyone else, the government will eliminate them as well. If they are
