Person of interest Season 2 episode 6: The high Road

Reese and Finch got another number which leads them to Graham Wyler. Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary but Finch later discovers that the real Graham Wyler is dead and Graham’s real name is Lloyd Pruitt.  Lloyd now lives with his wife Connie and has a daughter named Izzy.  Reese enlisted the help of Zoe Morgan to act as his wife as he moves in to Suburbia to get closer to Graham.

Later Graham’s old friends Chris Vaughn and Daniel Burnside track him down. It is later revealed that Graham was a master safecracker. Graham refused to join Chris and Daniel in the last heist which led to their arrest and was locked up for 12 years. Chris and Daniel blame Graham for their arrest and asked him to join them in their next heist which would allow them to leave the country.  With his family being threatened, Graham eventually agrees to take the job.

Finch was able to find out where the next heist would take place. Their next target is in a high rise residential unit belonging to Enver Clerik a gem dealer who currently out of town. But instead Cleriks nephew Atay throws a party and later would be held hostage to Vaughn’s men. They are setting up Graham to take the fall as they have prepared mask to hide their identity but has not brought enough for witnesses to identify Graham.

Reese had to rappel from a few story up to reached Graham. Eventually with Reese’s help, Graham got a gun and pointed it at Vaughn. Reese was able to convince not to pull the trigger. With the help of Detective Carter, Reese and Graham got a safe passage out of the building. As they were about to leave, Graham decides to turn himself in and stated that he is done running and he would start owning up to his crime. Graham turned state witness and was sentenced to house arrest with a monitor strapped to his ankle.

The Episode also shows flashback of Harold’s old life back in 2004. Harold was talking to his old Colleague Nathan on how he is teaching the machine to distinguish human behaviours. The machine has pointed out a woman painting nearby. Later it is revealed that it is Grace Hendricks. She would soon be Harold’s fiancée. But Harold had to leave and fake his own death to protect Grace. It is still not revealed why the machine picked Grace out of the many people in the park. Maybe in the next episodes we will know more.

This is another great episode for Person of interest. Although aside from the flashbacks, this entirely connected the show’s main villains: HR, Elias, Ruth or the organization keeping the machine. Also the FBI hunting down Reese is not in this episode. Nevertheless I find person of interest one of the best show currently airing.
