Person of interest Season 2 Episode 7: Critical

Don’t read if you haven’t seen the episode

Finch and Reese tracks down another number and was surprised that it belongs to same guy they save before Leon . Leon is now involved with an online game which also involves the Russian Mob. Reese asked nicely to let Leon go but had to engage the mobster since they wouldn’t agree to let Leon ’s mistake slide.

Since the Mob is still searching for Leon , they decided to have him stay in their hideout with Bear watching him closely. The machine gave them another number that belongs to Dr. Madeleine Enright. The doctor is the top Cardiologist and trauma surgeon in charge of the operation of CEO of an energy company Oliver Veldt. Later Alistair Wesley introduced himself to doctor and informed him that her wife Amy would be killed if she doesn’t play along with their plans. He intend for the doctor to ensure that Oliver Veldt doesn’t survive the surgery.

Fusco arrives in a crime scene of a man brutally executed. He found a card with Detective Carter’s contact details. Written at the back is 6611^th. Later Carter deciphered the writing at the back and found out that it was an address of a company called Fujima in 66 11^th Avenue . Carter checks it out and arrives in the address. A few moments later a disturbance inside the building occurred and she saw agent Snow, an old colleague of Reese. She followed him and he revealed that he was doing some task given by an old colleague of Snow and Reese. He also revealed that a bomb was strapped to his chest. Before getting more information from him a shooting began and she lost snow in the Darkness.

Back to the hospital, Finch enlisted the help of Leon to dig out information on who would want Oliver Veldt dead. Leon was able to hack the Veldt’s company and found a trail that leads to some short selling of Veldt stocks that would mean goods news and a large fortune for the investor if Veldt dies.

Reese found a shooter that intends to kill Amy if the doctor doesn’t go along with their plans. Later he met the leader Alistair and Reese realized immediately that he was former MI 6 and his men were former SAS. Alistair recognizes that Reese is former CIA. He told Reese to stay away from it but before Reese was able to capture Alistair, one of his attacked Reese. Alistair was able to escape during the commotion.

Back in the hospital, the doctor was trying to buy some time and ask all of his medical staff to leave. One of assisting nurse, Liz Picket decided to stay. Unable to concentrate, Madeleine decided to have a short break. When she returned to the operating room, Veldt was crashing and an Artery was cut. They soon realized that Liz is Alistair’s inside man. Finch hit her and she fell unconscious. Madeleine had to do an emergency procedure to save Veldt’s life. Eventually she did and she was reunited with her wife.

Alistair called Reese and told him that he met him in Instanbul at a market. Reese doesn’t remember since Alistair made sure he wasn’t seen. He then hailed a cab to drive him to the airport.

Like the other episode, there were no flashbacks in this episode as well. But it throws Reese’s old life back to the plot. Kara Stanton, Reese’s old partner who he tried to kill, is orchestrating something big according to Mark Snow. I can’t wait how this would collide. With the list of enemies building up for Reese and Finch, they would to be more careful and vigilant. I am pretty sure that Alistair would be back again. Root is still out there and so is the group who are hiding the machine. Soon they might have more trouble that they could actually handle.
