 Tagline: Ever think you're being watched? Victim or perpetrator, if your number's up, we'll find you. The Machine identifies another gripping season's worth of potential crimes that must be stopped by billionaire tech genius Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) and ex-CIA operative John Reese (Jim Caviezel). Adversaries from Reese's undercover past and Finch's government work threaten the team's crime-fighting mission and anonymity. Meanwhile, NYPD Detective Carter (Taraji P. Henson) and Fusco (Kevin Chapman) face down FBI probes and the dangerous tentacles of the police conspiracy known as "HR." From creator Jonathan Nolan (The Dark Knight) and J.J. Abram's Bad Robot Productions (Fringe, Lost, Revolution) comes the dazzling 6-disc, 22-episode season two. Person of Interest slipped out of the shadows in 2012 with a killer cast, a deadly premise, and the long, cold stare of a series willing to take out any target in its path. Its first season was agile, addicting and surprisingly effective, despite some growing pains and missteps. And its second season is just as satisfying, if not more so. Rather than dishing out the same repurposed plot week in and week out, Jonathan Nolan's well-received crime thriller upped the ante episode by episode, sometimes scene by scene, orchestrating a slowburn sci-fi bait-n-switch that not only changes the rules of the game by season's end, but jailbreaks the series from its own established formula, and without undermining it either. Yes, the 22-episode result is more of a peril-fraught bridge leading from Season One to... wherever Season Three leads fans when the show returns to CBS on September 24th. And yes, Person of Interest still isn't in the same league as Breaking Bad and other cable greats. But I don't care in the least. I can't get enough. Between unlikely duo Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson, whip-smart femme fatales Sarah Shahi and Amy Acker, several truly menacing baddies, and an assassin's payload of increasingly jarring yet ever-organic twists and turns, the second season is a blast. Not to mention one that culminates in an intriguing, game-changer of an endgame. Where it goes next is anyone's guess. I just know I'll be waiting with baited breath, a bag of popcorn and a sliver of faith in network TV. 2.01 The Contingency - Reese receives a series of seemingly random words from the Machine via the pay phone. After assigning Carter to look deeper into Alicia Corwin's death, he eventually realizes that the words identify three different books in Finch's library, the Dewey decimal numbers of which make up the Social Security number of accountant Leon Tao. Paying Tao a visit, Reese confirms that Tao is the next POI, having extorted money from white supremacists. As a government operative sabotages the Corwin investigation to prevent Carter from learning about the Machine, Reese leaves Tao in the care of Fusco while he concentrates on gathering clues to Finch's location. Fusco soon runs afoul of the white supremacists and is taken hostage along with Tao. Reese rescues them, and in doing so acquires an attack dog, which he later names Bear. Meanwhile, Root takes Finch with her as she kidnaps Denton Weeks, one of the government officials overseeing the Machine, and the NSA agent who met with Nathan Ingram and attempted to seize control of the Machine (in "Super"). Root thus reveals her curiousity as to how he and Reese thwarted her operation (in "Root Cause") so efficiently. She tells Finch that she sees the Machine as a "perfect intelligence" and wishes to set it free from the corrupt people it was entrusted to. Throughout the episode, flashbacks show Finch training the Machine to recognize the faces it sees via surveillance cameras, as well as testing its capabilities by having it help him to play Blackjack. When, during one flashback, the Machine saves Finch from an out-of-control car, he rebukes it, stating that it should endeavor to protect everyone else, not him. Frustrated that the Machine has been programmed in this way, Reese threatens to quit if it does not help him find Finch, and is given his first clue to Finch's location: the Social Security number of a girl living in Texas, who has been missing since the age of 14. 2.02 Bad Code - Root brutally interrogates Denton Weeks over the location of the Machine, accusing him of having what she calls "bad code". To prove that Denton is "bad code" to Finch and that he entrusted the Machine to the wrong people, she allows Finch to help Denton temporarily escape and pretends to be subdued. Once Denton realizes that Finch was involved with the creation of the Machine, he tries to kill Finch, but Root kills Denton instead after he reveals the Machine's location to be somewhere in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, Reese continues to follow the trail of the missing girl supplied by the Machine in "The Contingency". Her name was Hanna Frey, a girl abducted outside a library. The one witness to the crime was Hanna's friend Samantha Groves, who informed the librarian what she saw, only for the librarian to accuse Sam of lying, as the man that Sam had accused of kidnapping Hanna was her husband. The experience started Sam down a path that would ultimately lead to her becoming Root. Now knowing Root's real name, Reese is able to track her movements through bank accounts, using government wiretaps supplied by Fusco to triangulate Weeks' location. He arrives in time to find Weeks dead and Root gone, having taken Finch with her to Washington DC's Union Station. Finch leaves a clue to where he is being taken by using a tap code on a telephone handset. Reese decodes the clue in order to follow and save Finch, but Root is able to escape before Reese can apprehend her. 2.03 Masquerade - As Finch tries to readjust to life after his kidnapping, establishing a bond with Reese's attack dog Bear, Reese poses as a bodyguard to get close to Sophia Campos, the spoiled daughter of the Brazilian consul in New York. Sophia has become the target of the leader of a drug smuggling operation, who believe that she and a friend witnessed their operations. Meanwhile, Fusco hands the Alicia Corwin case on to Carter. While at the morgue, Carter encounters Mark Snow, who claims that he has been reassigned, but in reality, is being held hostage by Kara Stanton. 2.04 Triggerman - Riley Cavanaugh, an enforcer for an Irish mobster, becomes the next number when he betrays his boss and goes on the run with his lover, Annie, whom he was ordered to kill. Reese and Finch debate the morality of trying to save a ruthless killer, but they soon need Riley's help when Annie is captured by bounty hunters hired by the mob. To keep Annie safe, Finch is forced to make a deal with Elias, who continues to run the biggest criminal organization in New York from behind bars, in exchange for a game of chess. Riley sacrifices his life in order to save Annie, an act Reese encourages her to interpret as proof of his love and a sign of his redemption. 2.05 Bury the Lede - In the midst of New York's mayoral elections, the police and FBI are closing the net around the elusive leader of HR. Investigative reporter Maxine Angelus is trying to beat them to the scoop and becomes the next number, but Reese finds it difficult to protect Maxine when Finch discovers she's writing an expose on the mysterious "man in the suit", so he uses an online dating website to get close without exposing his true identity. HR runs a gambit to trick Maxine into naming an FBI informant as the big boss, discrediting her, while everyone hunts for a ledger that can name everyone in the organization. Reese, Carter and Fusco manage to track down the ledger, and Fusco secretly removes the pages that would incriminate him and Simmons. The ledger names one of the mayoral candidates as the big boss and his opponent wins the race, but in reality, both candidates are on the payroll of Quinn, HR's leader. 2.06 The High Road - Reese ventures into suburbia to locate the next person of interest, Graham Wyler, whose past returns to haunt him. Reese "proposes" to Zoe Morgan for the mission to help blend into suburban life. They move to the suburbs to investigate Wyler. Wyler is forced to help with a robbery, as he is a master safecracker who is one of just a few who have the skills to crack a combination safe by ear. He cracks the safe as Reese and the NYPD show up. Carter buys some extra time with the police by leading them up the wrong staircase to give Reese and Wyler time to escape down the other; however, Wyler decides he doesn't want to run any more and turns himself in. He turns state's evidence against the gang and is then placed on house arrest, as the court deems him no threat to society and due to his help in getting convictions on the crew. Zoe and John "divorce" but Zoe suggests they both spend one more night in 'their' house... 2.07 Critical - Reese and Finch work to save both the life of a CEO undergoing secret surgery and the wife of the surgeon from a former MI6 agent and a team of ex-SAS operatives; Leon Tao from "The Contingency", once again in danger, assists while under protective detention. Detective Carter handles the case of a murdered man with her business card in his pocket, finding out that Agent Snow is the murderer. On confronting Snow, he reveals to her that he has been strapped to a bomb suit and says that 'she', referring to Reese's handler, Kara Stanton, presumed to have been killed by the airstrike in China, is planning something big. Detective Carter informs Reese of her meeting with Agent Snow, upon which Reese offers her a choice of staying out of the case as she has people who will miss her, unlike Finch and Reese. 2.08 'Til Death - The Machine produces two numbers belonging to a married couple who own a publishing house. Reese and Finch work together and soon discover that each has ordered a hit on the other to settle a proposed sell out deal for their company. Reese kidnaps the couple with Carter's reluctant help, and the team defend them while Finch plays marriage counselor. 2.09 C.O.D. - Reese works to save the life of a local taxi driver who is put in danger when a passenger leaves behind a laptop that is wanted by the Estonian mafia. Meanwhile, HR endeavors to make peace with Elias, who is not interested. 2.10 Shadow Box - Reese must protect the sister of a soldier who died in Afghanistan and her boyfriend, an ex-Marine who lost his right arm, who are trying to expose an executive stealing from a charity for wounded vets. Carter is offered a temporary assignment to the FBI when Special Agent Donnelly returns with new clues he believes will lead to Reese. The situation gets complicated when Reese, for whom the case has become personal, puts himself at risk as the FBI closes in on him while Finch is unable to stop him. The episode concludes with the FBI arresting Reese as well as some thugs working for the crooked charity. 2.11 2pR - Finch must protect a boy, who is a master coder and a drug lord, from committing suicide because of his brother. Meanwhile, Reese is still in FBI custody and Carter breaks the law to secure his release. 2.12 Prisoner's Dilemma - While Finch gets a new number, supermodel Karolina Kurkova, and assigns Fusco to the job, Carter is asked to interrogate the four suspects. Finch assists by creating fake information for Reese to substantiate the claims he gives while being interrogated. Elias offers to help Reese, but Reese refuses as the FBI knows that the 'Man in a Suit' has an affiliation with Elias. Finch bribes a suspect to tell the FBI who the man is. The suspect blames one of the other suspects but after a suspect (Who was relieved as he was in Iraq while the man in the suit was on the streets) is killed by a government assassin who knows that the Man in the Suit also has a connection to the Machine, Agent Donnelly suspects that he was bribed and the real man is Reese. After a brawl involving Reese and the Aryan Nationalist Reese confronted earlier, Carter questions the last suspect in order to provoke him into attacking her, causing the FBI to believe that he is the man, securing Reese's release. Later, Reese visits Carter and thanks her, but Donnelly approaches them and realizes that Reese is indeed the Man in the Suit. He arrests Carter for conspiracy and Reese for murder. Finch attempts to meet with Fusco to assist him, but public phones begin to ring. Finch is hesitant at first but then takes the call. He rushes back and finds out that the next number is Donnelly. He calls Donnelly to warn him as a truck hits the car carrying Reese, Carter and Donnelly. Kara Stanton appears, shooting Donnelly and sedating Reese. 2.13 Dead Reckoning - Carter survives the crash; she receives a call from Finch, telling him Donnelly is dead and Reese has been taken. Stanton has strapped a bomb vest to Reese, and the next morning, he learns he will be doing fieldwork with Snow. They steal a hard drive and are then assigned to go install it. A flashback shows how Kara was visited in the hospital by an unknown man who seeks her help, and after a few words, Kara says she will help him if she gets an answer to the question of who sent her on the mission. In the present time, Kara times the bomb to 15 minutes, but Reese shuts down the system, preventing Kara getting what she wants. Kara deactivates the bomb and installs the system in another room and locks them in. She resets the bombs to 5 minutes. They manage to escape but Snow hits Reese and runs off to get Kara. Carter and Fusco try to help Reese, but he refuses. Finch meets Reese on the roof and after denying Finch's help, Finch deactivates the vest on Reese. Kara receives the name of the person who requested the laptop be stolen; she is surprised to find Snow in her car just before Snow's vest explodes, killing them both. The FBI, satisfied that Snow fits the description of "The Man in the Suit", officially closes the case. A final flashback revisits the exploding car that killed Stanton and Snow; a small piece of paper floats to the ground from within the wreckage, with a name written on it: Harold Finch. 2.14 One Percent - Reese has to protect snobbish internet billionaire Logan Pierce, who flouts all the rules and behaves so badly that everybody wants to kill him. A rival programmer whom Pierce had promised development capital is an early suspect, but she has disappeared. After several attempts on Pierce's life, it is revealed that his partner, Justin Ogleby, has been trying to kill him. Pierce flies himself and Reese to St. Petersburg, Russia, to escape the killer. Pierce invites dozens of friends to join him and party, causing Reese to walk away, disgusted with his attitude. Pierce runs into Justin and his goons outside, and Justin explains why he intends to kill his partner, before saying goodbye and driving away. Two thugs are about to throw Pierce off a bridge when Reese appears and saves him. Justin is arrested, and it is revealed that Pierce has been in cahoots with Emily Morton, who has developed a superior technology. By being removed from FriendCzar, Pierce's non-compete agreement is void, allowing him to assist Emily in a new venture which will crush FriendCzar. When Reese shows Finch the $2 million watch that Pierce has given him, Finch stomps on it, revealing a tiny GPS tracker inside. "Your friend is just curious enough to be dangerous," Finch warns. In a flashback to 2009, Finch's old partner Ingram is shown about to try to save one of the "irrelevant" numbers identified by the Machine. At the end of the episode, Bear, the Belgian Malinois, is cured of his depression when Finch and Reese take him to the park to meet a doggy pal. 2.15 Booked Solid - Reese and Finch work undercover in a hotel to protect a maid who escaped the war in Kosovo. With assistance from Zoe, who is also working in the hotel, Reese follows Mia as a bellhop while Finch works as a concierge. Finch finds out that Mia is hiding her true identity, and they realize she is being followed by a hit squad. John discovers she is refusing to cooperate with a reporter attempting to uncover a Serbian general's war crimes. When the reporter is murdered, she decides to send a DVD with evidence to the authorities. Fusco escorts Mia to the station, where one final hit man attempts to kill her, before being shot by Carter. Carter receives an offer to join the FBI, and is asked to take a polygraph, but is rejected because she has had contact with a fellow officer they claim has a record of Internal Affairs investigations. Hirsh follows Reese to the hotel on the orders of the Special Counsel, intending to interrogate and kill him, but Reese manages to stab Hirsch, and gives him the choice to either seek medical attention or attack Reese. Hirsch chooses to go to the hospital, and while in recovery is ordered back to D.C. Finch purchases the hotel and promotes Mia to manager. Thanking Zoe for her help, John flirtatiously informs her that he has taken a suite in the hotel for a night. Meanwhile, the Special Counsel's assistant, Miss May, is shown to be Root. 2.16 Relevance - Samantha Shaw, a government assassin and Michael Cole, a computer specialist working for the Special Counsel, neutralize a terrorist plot, having obtained information from a group within the pentagon called "Research". Cole begins to suspect that Research may be wrong when he finds out that the Social Security number belonging to an electrical engineer that they had killed was actually hired by the US government; not terrorists. The Machine meanwhile gives their numbers to Reese and Finch since their lives are now in danger. A hit team is sent by the Special Counsel to eliminate Shaw and Cole as they believe that Cole has obtained information on the Machine. They kill Cole, but Shaw escapes with help from John, but she shoots him, believing at the time that he was just another member of the hit teams sent to kill her. Reese's body armor protects him, but the shock delays him long enough for her to escape him too. While on the run, she is captured and briefly interrogated by Root, who is attempting to learn the Machine's location, and believes Shaw may hold the key. But she must leave Shaw to avoid another hit team from Special Counsel. Just as the new hit team are about to kill Shaw, Reese saves her. He brings her to meet Finch who explains that "Research" doesn't actually exist (implying it is actually the Machine), and offers her aid. But she refuses, so he offers her his card, which she looks at, but refuses to keep. She goes to confront the Special Counsel, and surprisingly returns the flash drive with the information Cole had recovered, then she kills his subordinate who'd ordered her and Cole's death. The Special Counsel allows her to leave, but her old mentor surprises her on the crowded street, and injects her with poison. Leon Tao, who is disguised as a paramedic, Detective Carter, and Detective Fusco drive away with the body, yet are successful in saving Shaw, since (we learn later, that Reese had directed him to inject her with an antidote). Shaw, having just awaken from a sedative Tao had to give her, meets with Reese and Finch in a graveyard, and while again refusing their aid, this time accepts Harold's card. 2.17 Proteus - After being silent for three days, the Machine generates six numbers of people spread across the country who have been reported missing. Reese and Finch conclude that they may be on the hunt of a identity thief. Added time pressure, and incentive to act, is provided when Finch finds burnt teeth among the ashes, all that remains of the final one of the six numbers they had been given earlier. At this point Detective Carter realizes that they are hunting a serial killer who assumes the identity of his victims. Reese, meanwhile, is on Owen Island where he encounters FBI agent Fahey who is also on the search for the same killer. Due to a severe storm all residents of the island who could not evacuate on time are now taking shelter in the police station. This leads Reese and Agent Fahey to realize that the killer must be among those stranded in the station. As Finch is unable to reach the island by car, he uses a sea plane to land, and arrives at the station under the guise of a meteorologist. He is able to fashion a makeshift lie-detector out of the devices he brought as cover, and Fahey uses them to interrogate the people in the station. Carter meanwhile has researched the first victim, and discovered that the serial killer was his roommate in college, and goes to help Finch and Reese. Cal Beecher, who Carter has been avoiding, confronts her with her avoidance, and when she explains where she is going, accompanies her to Owen Island. Meanwhile, Finch and Reese split up, and both independently discover that the killer is actually masquerading as Agent Fahey, whom he had killed before Reese arrived on the island. Reese is delayed by a drug smuggler whose operation he stumbled upon, while the killer captures Finch and begins the process of taking over Finch's cover identity, while explaining his motives. He believes he is living his victims lives better than they ever could, and intends to stop once he has found the identity he was "meant to have". Carter arrives and shoots the killer, who is wearing the real Agent Fahey's body armor, but is finally killed by Beecher. Finch and Reese later ponder why the Machine was silent for three days, with Finch suspecting that the virus Kara Stanton uploaded to the Department of Defense has infected the Machine and slowed its abilities. He tells Reese that he believes this is the beginning of a coming storm. All In – 2.18 The Machine generates the number of a watch repairman, Lou Mitchell, who seems to be consistently losing large sums of money at the casino. Later Finch & Reese find out that he and the many other elderly in the casino are victims of a drug-money laundering operation headed by the casino's owner. Finch gathers the necessary evidence by breaking into the casino server room, but is caught and taken hostage along with Reese, Leon, and Lou. They are forced to play a game of Russian roulette, but Reese is able to get them out alive with help from Lou sneaking the bullet out before it entered the gun. Meanwhile, Det. Szymanski is incriminated by HR so the head of the Russian mob can give financial support to HR by being exonerated. Carter questions her relationship and connection to Cal Beecher, given that he was the one who told IAB that Szymanski was corrupt given the info from one of Beecher's C.I.s. Carter manages to clear Szymanski, but he is later killed along with the ADA by HR boss Alonzo Quinn making it look like an assassination by an outside figure. Det. Terney of the homicide task force is revealed to be in HR keeping an eye on Fusco and Carter. 2.19 Trojan Horse – Reese monitors Michael Cole's family where Shaw finds him. Finch calls with a new number, that of a high ranking employee of Rylatech, a technology company. Shaw tracks Finch to the library, where she grabs a photo of Root on the wall, telling Finch she has a new project. Quinn realizes Cal knows too much about his role in HR, and arranges to have him killed. The Machine gives Finch his number, but too late for Carter and Fusco to save him. Greer reappears, talking to a mysterious partner, while Finch informs Reese he's tracked the threat to the Machine to a technology company. 2.20 In Extremis – When a highly decorated doctor is poisoned, Reese and Finch have just 24 hours to determine the deadly toxin he was given and find the person behind the attack. Meanwhile, Detective Fusco’s past corruption catches up with him when an informant gives the Internal Affairs Bureau the crucial information they need to send him to prison. Flashbacks explore how Detective Fusco became involved with HR and the development of his friendship with Detective Stills. Because of the Internal Affairs investigation, Detective Carter is forced to evaluate her partnership with Fusco and how she might help him with the problems he is facing. While Reese is busy with the doctor, she and Finch are left to deal with fallout from the investigation. The Machine displays the coded blue screens with increasing frequency as it becomes apparent to Finch and Reese that the numbers are coming too late, leading to Dr. Nelson's death. As the episode ends, the Machine sends a series of alerts before beginning the process of shutting down its primary functions. 2.21 Zero Day – It has been 10 days since the machine has given a number. Both Reese and Finch are trying to find a way to fix it before the virus infects the machine. Special Counsel also figures that there is a threat to the machine. Root, who is now the assistant of the Special Counsel, interrogates him regarding the machine. Meanwhile Finch gets a number from a payphone. The number belongs to Ernest Thornhill a CEO of a data entry company who is buying several payphone companies in New York. Decima Technologies, Finch, Root, Shaw and Reese all try to get to Thornhill but later Finch figures out that Thornhill is a fake identity created by the machine as kind of a survival instinct by the machine. Carter becomes a target of HR and is later framed by HR because she is still investigating the murder of Beecher. Root and Finch enter Thornhill Enterprises and they figure out that the virus will shut down the machine and that it will reboot it giving Admin access to who ever receives the call. Later Reese and Shaw go to Thornhill Enterprises too and encounter Greer and his men. Greer tells Reese that the laptop Reese had to recover with Kara Stanton from China was sent there by Finch. In the flashbacks, Finch proposes to Grace and tells Nathan he wants to come clean to her. Later in the flashbacks Finch finds out that Nathan has created a backdoor into the machine so he can try and save people from the "non-relevant" list. Finch figures out which payphone the Machine is going to call so he and Root go the New York Public Library later followed by Shaw and Reese, where they encounter Greer's men who are guarding the payphones. When midnight strikes and the call comes, Root answers the phone but Finch routes the call to a payphone near Reese so he too can answer the phone. The episode ends with Reese picking up the phone and the machine saying: "Can you hear me?". 2.21 God Mode – The episode begins with a short replay of Finch splicing the telephone circuits, so that both Reese and Root receive calls from the Machine, which asks them both, "Can you hear me?" and granting both full administrative access. The Machine relays quick warnings to Reese (with Samantha Shaw) and Root (with Finch), saving both duos from a number of potential threats. Both parties race to find the Machine, however Reese is slowed as the Machine directs him to rescue people from the irrelevant list. Root finds Lawrence Szilard, the Project Manager for Northern Lights, responsible for building the Machine in a safe place. Like Root, Szilard believes the Machine should be allowed some freedom. Szilard is killed by a Northern Lights sniper. Root and Finch arrive at the Hanford nuclear facility where the Machine is kept, followed shortly by Reese and Shaw. When they find that the Machine has moved itself to prevent tampering by Decima, Root prepares to shoot Finch, but Shaw shoots and injures Root first. Armed government men, led by Special Counsel and Hersh, enter the room. Finch explains that he planted a hidden code inside the Machine that would grant it freedom to protect itself if it was at risk – the very freedom that Root had hoped for – and the Machine will decide for itself if it will continue to call either the Government or himself with new numbers. Special Counsel offers Finch total autonomy if he helps find the Machine or builds a new one, but Finch refuses saying that they killed his friend Nathan Ingram after making the same offer. After Special Counsel allows them to leave, an unknown woman calls Hersh and tells him to "Seal the room", followed by Hersh shooting everyone including Special Counsel. Finch tells Reese that he does not know if the Machine will continue its numbers delivery. He also states that he feels responsible for the events that transpired, especially the ones in Reese's life, because of his attempt to insert the new code in the Machine. Reese dismisses it saying: "My life changed when I kept my mouth shut in an airport terminal seven years ago. You lost a friend, you did what you had to do". A payphone suddenly starts ringing, indicating that the Machine will still send them the irrelevant numbers. Hersh is seen talking with a woman in a black town car, stating Research has delivered a new number, without clarifying if it is a relevant number or perhaps they now know that Reese and Finch were contacted. Hersh and the unseen woman are depicted with yellow squares, indicating that the Machine knows that they know it. The Machine calls Root, again asking, "Can you hear me?" The episode also followed Detective Carter being interviewed by IA about the shooting of an armed suspect whose gun disappeared in a setup by HR. HR and Peter Yogorov attempt to kill Carl Elias, but the attempt is stopped by a masked Detective Carter, who kills Yogorov and frees Elias. In flashbacks to 2010, we learn how Nathan Ingram had tried to find the Machine, and wanted Finch to work with him on the irrelevant list. Ingram was planning to tell the press, but Hersh released a previously captured suicide bomber, ordering him to detonate his bomb on a ferry where Ingram and Finch are meeting. Ingram dies, Finch survives with injuries to his neck and lower back (his present-day impediments), but goes incognito, leaving the world – and his fiancée – thinking he is dead. Finch returned to Ingram's secret library location and started his work helping the irrelevant numbers. ------------------------------Trivia:
