Person of Interest Season 3 Episode 10: Devil's Share


A grief stricken Reese hunts down Officer Simmons for killing his friend Joss Carter. Reese himself was shot and is badly injured. On the Manhunt as well, Shaw is also trying to track Simmons by herself. Worried about Reese who is badly injured and Shaw going on a savage manhunt as well, Finch talks to Fusco for help in tracking down both Reese and Shaw before they end up hurting more people and Reese ending up dead.

Simmons plans to leave the country using forged papers. Reese tracks down the forgers but was unable to get the location of Simmons. Shaw tracks down one of the associate of the people that Reese just attacked but was unable to get any information.


Finch was left with no choice but to ask the help of Root to find Reese. Reese was going after Alonzo Quinn to find out about Simmons’ exit strategy. He raided a building full of U.S. Marshall agents and was able to find Quinn. At first Quinn was reluctant to help Reese but after learning that Reese plans to kill him whether he divulge Simmons’ location or not he eventually gave him the location where Simmons could be found. Reese was about to kill Quinn and despite Finch’s statement he went on and pulled the trigger. Fortunately for Quinn, Reese is out of Bullets.



Finch, Shaw and Root took Reese back to Finch’s hideout and attended to his wounds while Fusco stayed behind for the FBI to arrive to turn over Quinn. Fusco learns of the Simmons’ location and takes him down. He surrendered Simmons to the Police and then he was treated for his wounds.

Elias is waiting in Simmons’ hospital room waiting for him to wake up. Elias explained that he has a debt to repay to Carter. Elias has offered several time to kill Simmons but Carter would not allow it. Elias then watch as his associate kill Simmons.

Root is back in the Library. Finch is still skeptical and does not trust Root. Root told him that they would face a bigger problem and that she prefers that they work together when it finally comes.

This is a very emotional episode. Even Shaw who is reluctant to let her feeling cloud her decision is full of anger and was as out of control as Reese. Kudos to Jim Caviezel. He played his role masterfully. The episode really gave the death of Joss Carter meaning. The question now is would Reese still be the same calm badass as he usually was. Or would he be filled with hate now that Carter is gone. Carter was his moral compass in a way. Would he be more like Shaw now?

What is this problem that Root keeps on talking about? Now that HR is gone, the only major players now are Elias and the Russians. Would the government now give them problems or would the organization who wanted to claim the machine in the previous season be a bigger threat?

Person of Interest Season 3 Episode 9: The Crossing



In the previous episode, Joss and Reese abducted Quinn and was taking him to the FBI. Problem is Reese’s picture was captured and HR has sent it out to all of its members and all the gangs in New York.  With all the gangs and HR closing in, they had great difficulty in reaching the FBIs.

Fusco and Shaw were helping them in sidelines. Unfortunately Fusco was captured by Simmons along with the key to safety deposit box that Carter entrusted to him. Simmons threatened to kill Fusco’s son if he did not give the location of the box. Fortunately Shaw was able to get to Fusco’s son on time. Fusco then got an opportunity to escape and was able to kill his capture.



Carter and Reese were just a few blocks away from the FBI building when a gang saw them. They had to take refuge in a City Morgue. Trapped and were outnumbered by HRs men, Reese plans to sacrificed himself to save Carter. Fortunately Reese was able to neutralize all the threats but was captured by the Police.



Carter was then made detective and released Reese from Police Custody. Outside the precinct, Finch arrived to fetch Reese. The phone rings but Finch was reluctant to answer it. Then Simmons appears and shoots Reese and Carter. Both were badly shot but Carter’s injuries were fatal.



This is a game changer for the show. Carter was the moral compass of Reese. He does listen to Finch but listens more to Carter. Reese has stated that he wanted to end his life but Carter was able to save him from himself. Now that Carter is gone and Quinn is in custody, a power shift among the Crime organization in New York would definitely happen.

The death of Carter is a shock to the show’s fan. It’s great to know that they still have stories that would still shock their viewers. What are your thoughts on “The crossing”?

Person of Interest Season 2 Episode 11: 2πR


Don't read if you haven't watched this episode


Following the events of the Person of interest’s last episode, Shadow Box, Reese was captured by the FBI and has been taken to Rikers. FBI agent Nicholas Donnelly is hell bent to find out who among the four people that they have in custody is the man in the suit. Using the the DNA samples and fingerprint from Reese’s last arrest, Donnelly was really confident that they will have their man.
 
While Reese in prison Finch poses as a substitute teacher (who is currently on an all expense trip to Maui ) to protect student named Caleb Phipps. Caleb is a genius and is developing a ground breaking computer code that could compress a large amount of data. On the side he is also an elusive drug dealer that has employed two students from his school to do his bidding without them knowing it.



 
One Caleb’s teacher, Chris Beckner, discovered the computer code that Caleb was developing and copied the file from Caleb’s computer in school. Caleb is writing the code long hand and transferring the code in one of the school’s computer. At first Finch thought that Beckner was stealing Caleb’s work and selling it as his own. Later Beckner confessed that Caleb told him what he was creating the code and informed him that he Beckner will get the credit for the algorithm. In return Caleb asked Beckner to give the money from selling the code to his mother. Beckner informed Finch that he never intended to take credit for Caleb’s work from the beginning.
 
Finch is puzzled why Caleb would go to such length to gain money knowing how talented he is. Later they realized that he is putting all the money that he made in a trust fund intended for her mother. They also realized that Caleb’s brother was killed in an accident in a train station and Caleb has blamed himself for his death. Caleb has been planning to kill himself in the same station where his brother died. But before doing so, he would need to amass enough money to leave her mother. Finch was able to discover Caleb’s plan and was able to convince Caleb to stop.
 
Also In the episode, Carter picks up a man and drugged him. She then took a DNA sample to switch it with Reese’s DNA. Carter then breaks into the FBI and swaps the sample.  Donnelly then gets the Result of the DNA testing which showed that none matches the four people he has in custody. Donnelly refused to release them and believes that there is a mole in the FBI. He asked Carter to use her skills she acquired as military interrogator to find the identity of the man in suit.
 
There is not much of Reese in this Episode. It is refreshing to find out a bit about Finch’s background story. In this episode, we learned that Finch was gifted and knowledgeable with computer code even as a kid. The main obstacle that Finch and Reese are facing in this episode is the FBI. Donnelly is closing in to his identity and it is a matter of time before he finds out the truth.

Person of interest Season 2 Episode 10: Shadow Box


Don’t read if you haven’t seen the episode
 
Reese and Finch receives Abby Monroe’s number who works for a military charity. Her brother was killed in Afghanistan 18 months ago. A few days back Abby has moved out of her apartment and has dumped her Cellphone.
 
Back in the Precinct, Special agent Donnelly informs Carter that they will be searching for the man in the suit again and has asked Carter to join the FBI temporarily. He informs her that with her skills the assignment might become permanent. Carter immediately calls Finch to tell him of the situation. Finch informs Carter that Reese is in a Department of City planning. Later Carter discovers that Reese is posing as a Federal Marshal to get information Abby who used to work there. Abby copied files that have engineering drawings of buildings somewhere in Wall Street. Carter warns Reese that Donnelly is after him now but Reese already knew since he was listening in to their conversation.
 
Reese and Finch watched footage from a motorcycle robbery given by Carter as Reese has requested. They assumed that the Robber had prosthetic arm and is possibly former military. Carter informs them that the motorcycle is involved in a robbery of Plastic explosive in a construction site in New Jersey days before.
Carter had no choice but to put an APB on Abby’s name. Finch told Reese that Abby couldn’t have them involve in terrorism since her number to the authorities instead. Finch traced a pay phone that Abby used in the past and had Reese check it out.
 
Reese discovered that the phone was tapped and was connected to a nearby apartment. Reese investigates and found where Abby was staying. He also saw the medals awarded to her brother. Finch went digging further in the Charity where Abby used to work in. He talks to the manager, Philip Chapple, and was told that she was stealing petty cash and embezzling the charity’s fund. Chapple informs Finch that Abby changed when one of the veterans, Shayn Coleman visited the Charity. They later discovered that Shayn lost his arm while diffusing a bomb in Afghanistan .
 
 
Later Shayn crosses path with Finch while they were searching for information inside the Charity. Finch and Shayn worked together to find information and later left together while Chapple’s men were shooting at them. Reese also meets Abby. He told him that he was soldier before as well but unlike her brother Josh he was lucky that he survived. Reese and Shayn eventually talks on the phone and agrees to meet. They went their separate ways after.
 
Also in the episode, Fusco starts to be suspicious about Carter’s new friend Cal Beecher. When he asked a fellow detective he was told that Beecher is suspicious faring better financially than others but don’t have enough evidence to support that he is on the take. He eventually clones Beecher ’s phone and learned that he is meeting with someone. He sees Beecher talking to Quinn but does not have an Idea who Quinn is. Simmons then appears behind him and informs Fusco that he is watching him. Quinn was asking about crimes in Crown heights where a Russian named Peter Yogorov is involved. It seems like HR would negotiate a deal with the Russian to strengthen their ranks.
 
Finch was able to locate Abby and Shayn. They also discovered that Chapple is involved with a scheme with an investment bank where he takes a cut on the profits of foreclose properties of those who ask for a loaned in their charity. They also discovered that Chapple had a safety deposit box in the bank where he keeps his profits.
 
Reese goes to the bank but ended up helping Shayn and Abby. But they were cut-off by Chapple’s men and shooting began. The FBI is also hot in their trail. They found Reese’s location and the FBI team were outside the bank and was starting to sweep the bank. Reese was cornered and eventually captured. Good thing is Chapple’s men are all wearing suits which made it hard for the FBI identify Reese. Abby and Shayn was able to escape and meet Finch inside the Bank. He has provided fake IDs for both to avoid capture. Later Abby and Shayn gave Finch copies of Chapple’s entire money trail. Finch promised to bankrupt Chapple’s bank accounts and give to charity.
 
 
Now that Reese was captured he will definitely be on the FBI Radar. I wonder if Finch erased all his records and fabricated a new one. Definitely they will check for prints and Military records might still be on the system. Remember the machine has just tagged him as missing. Now HR is seeking the Russian’s help to re-establish their organization. If that is so it would be interesting to see what will happen next since the Russian would definitely have a grudge against Elias who threw them out of Brighton Beach . Off course you would to consider Ruth and I definitely sure we haven’t heard the last of her.
 

Person of interest Season 2 Episode 9: C.O.D


The next number that the machine gave Reese and Finch belongs to a cab driver named Fermin Ordonez. Fermin was former Baseball player who defected from Cuba . His Baseball skills was the reason why he got in to the states and should have been the way to free Fermin’s son and wife from Cuba as well. But since he tore a ligament and retired from baseball, he had to come up with the money as a cab driver to pay a person by the name of Senor Mendoza to bring his family to the states. Unfortunately for Fermin, Mendoza was greedy and has double the 40 thousand that he initially asked for to bring both of them to the states.
 
To make things worst, Fermin drove a passenger by the name of Vadim Pushkov the previous night that is involve with the Estonian Mob. Pushkov asked Fermin to drive around the park several times to get the second half of a 100 dollar fare if he complies with his request. Unfortunately, Pushkov didn’t return to cab which left Fermin to sell his laptop for his troubles.
 
The next day secret service is in the Park and found the body of Pushkov. Carter meets one of her colleagues Detective Terney while checking the location where Fermin’s cab stayed for 25 minutes using the taxi’s GPS log. Carter meets the head agent Regina Vickers. The secret agent has been trying to finding what Pushcov is doing in the park with no luggage since he arrive in JFK the day before and ends up dead a few hours after.
 
Fermin then picks up a blonde and told him to drive to Queens . Later she asked if he has seen Pushkov and he immediately lies. She left in a hurry and then Reese gets in the cab and warns Fermin that he is in danger. They barely escaped a group of Estonian trying to kill Fermin.
 
Fermin later confess that he Pushkov left his laptop but had to sell it since he didn’t pay for the fair. Finch discovers Pushkov is a hacker who has stolen confidential information from several countries before. It is later revealed that the secret service is looking for him since he has stolen something of great importance but still doesn’t know what it is.  
 
Meanwhile, HR is trying to get to Elias’ good side by offering the location of the last surviving don, Grifoni, who has gone under witness protection. They meet with Elias’ right hand Scarface but Elias’ wants HR to deliver Grifoni to them instead of them picking him up. Fusco is in a bind as he was tasked to pick up Grifoni in exchange HR will keep his secret for the murder of Internal Affairs Detective Ian Davidson. Fusco eventually agrees but they were double crossed leaving the man who is tasked to pick up Grifoni with Fusco dead. Elias made a deal with Grifoni instead.
 
Back to Pushcov, Fermin sold the laptop to his friend but was eventually killed for it. Finch searched the net for leads on the laptop. He found the laptop and it was being sold for $50,000. Finch asked Reese to pickup it up but Reese only found an empty room with a camera attached to one of its wall. Finch piggybacked the signal from the Webcam and found the location of the seller who goes by the name of D3mn8. In Yeongson Pool Hall Finch brought bear and met with D3mn8 and doubled the price to $100,000. If informed him that he is danger like everyone who has knowledge of the laptop.
 
The blonde who rode Fermin’s cab is Irina Kapp, a member of the Estonian mob was waiting for Finch. She told him to hand it over but he refuses. Bear barks at the Estonian and as they were about to shot the dog, Reese swoops in and saves them.
 
Fermin eventually decides to surrender the laptop but asked Vickers to help bring his Family from Cuba to the country. Ultimately they were reunited. Back to Fusco, Simmons is wondering why he was kept alive. Fusco tells Simmons that Elias wanted to send HR a message “Go to hell”. Fusco also agrees with Elias and told off Simmons which angers the later. Simmons then makes an anonymous tip to Carter about Davidson. He told Carter that he was killed by a cop.
 
This is another great episode for this show. They seem to have great stories line up for the show. Since Elias has no intention of joining forces with HR, Simmons and his boss Quinn would have to find a different partner. Fusco put in the mix makes it more interesting. He is genuinely trying to get out of HR’s hold but his past is a hindrance to his goal. While Simmons still holding evidence against Fusco, we would still have control over him. Although there are no Flashbacks, the CIA or the FBI involve in this episode, the main plot is still highlighted.

Person of interest Season 2 Episode 8: Til Death

Don’t read if you haven’t seen the episode
Finch and Reese got their hands full when the Machine gave them two numbers, Sabrina and Daniel Drake.  They are married since 1992 and are co-owners of a publishing house. Finch breaks into their apartment while Reese infiltrates the Publishing Company.
Inside the office Sabrina and Daniel talks to Henry Brooks. Sabrina refuses to sell the company while Daniel suggested that they should the board cast a vote. Henry pointed out that since Sabrina and Daniel owns majority of the stocks, their votes are the only one that counts.
Reese decided to guard Sabrina while Daniel is being watched by Finch. As Sabrina is about to reach her car and unknown man plants a bomb. Reese took the bomb and disarms it in alley nearby. The bomb is can be triggered using a cellphone. Reese took down the number that registered in the screen. Finch then overheard Daniel’s conversation with a man named Santi. They realized that Daniel tried to have her wife killed. Santiago is a childhood friend of Daniel and wasn’t fond of Sabrina.
Later on a book signing, Reese and Finch realizes that there was another threat. Reese spots a sniper in a building with a clear shot of Sabrina. As Finch was monitoring the Sabrina’s phone, a text message was sent giving the go signal to sniper to shoot. They then realized that Sabrina also wanted her husband killed. Reese bumped to Daniel and he never realized that he saved him.
Realizing that they won’t stop until one them is dead; Reese with the reluctant help of Detective Carter kidnapped both of them.  Finch acts as a marriage counsellor to help them resolve their difference. Eventually Sabrina told them details about the man who is supposed to kill Daniel. She tried to call off the killers but the contact number that they provided is now unreachable.  Daniel then admitted that he tried to call Santi to call off the hit but wasn’t able to reach him as well.
They brought them back their house to lure the killers to them. Eventually they came for them and Reese with the help of Fusco and Carter was able to stop them from killing the Drakes. The Drakes were then arrested but refuse to testify against each other. They figured that they won’t stay locked up since they could hire expensive lawyers.
Also in this episode, flashback of Finch’s pass is revealed. It mainly shows his relationship with Grace, an artist that Finch saw in a park while testing the machine. Nothing much is revealed about the machine but I think it is to emphasize how much Finch had to give up for the safety of Grace from those who wanted Finch and the Machine.
Mark Pellegrino guest stars as Daniel Drake and has mark another reunion for the Lost TV series cast which Michael Emerson (Harold Finch) was also part of and portrayed Ben in the said TV series.

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 6611th. Later Carter deciphered the writing at the back and found out that it was an address of a company called Fujima in 66 11th 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.

Person of Interest Season 2 Episode 5: Bury the Lede


An Investigative reporter Maxine Angelus is the next number that the machine has provided. Maxine is trying to write an expose on who is the head of HR, an organization that has dirty cops and politician on their pockets.


To protect Maxine, Finch had to hack a dating website to pair her with John. Complication arises when they found out that Maxine is also eager to write a story about the mysterious “Man in the suit”.
Maxine got an anonymous tip from a blocked cellphone number and Maxine wrote a story that wrongly accuses the son of a former mob boss Christopher Zembrano of being the head of HR. Still persistent of finding the truth, Reese and Maxine search for the Ledger that has all the people of HR’s pocket.
Eventually they retrieved the Ledger but before turning it over to evidence, Fusco removed to pages that will incriminate him and Simmons.
At the end of the episode, Reese asked if Maxine will write about the “Man in the suit” and she told him that if that person did really exist she would have met him already. Simmons was talking to HR leader in the end of the episode. It is revealed that he is Griffin ’s campaign manager Alonzo Quinn.


Person of interest is the only action TV show that I watch after 24 has ended. The story writing has great and the writers have done a great job in keeping people guessing on what will happen next. There were no flashbacks in this episode which is quite rare. This is a great episode to watch. Now that we know who the head of HR is, would that mean we will see more of Quinn’s character? We just have to wait and watch the future episode.

Maxene Angelus is played by Gloria Votsis. Votsis plays a recurring role in White Collar TV series as the master Thief Alex Hunter. She made other guesting in Suburgatory and Hawaii Five-O.
