Person of Interest - God Mode

In the Second Season’s finale control of both The Machine rests in both the hands of Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Root (Amy Acker). To beat Root, who still has Finch (Michael Emerson) captive, to where The Machine is physically stored (which they believe is a secure U.S. Government nuclear site), Reese is forced to tell Shaw (Sarah Shahi) about its existence, make a few pit stops to save the latest people of interest, and do a little digging into Finch’s past and his connection to Nathan Ingram (Brett Cullen)

Person of Interest - Zero Day

Infected by Stanton‘s (Annie Parisse) virus, The Machine has gone silent for ten days before delivering Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) the number of a CEO of a data company whose employees spend their days reinserting reams of code into a system for no apparent purpose. After investigating the man, who no one has even met, Finch begins to suspect he is an invention of The Machine as a way to fight back against the virus. Realizing that Decima Technologies, a private intelligence organization headquartered in Shanghai who created the virus, is looking to control rather than destroy The Machine, Harold has no choice but to work with Root (Amy Acker) to save his creation from falling into the wrong hands, especially when she threatens to hurt Grace (Carrie Preston) if he doesn’t agree to her terms.

Person of Interest - In Extremis

Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) may be too late to save their latest number, a cardiologist (Dennis Boutsikaris) who was given slow-acting poison for which there is no cure. For such an honest man the list of suspects is staggering: the man’s protege and former mistress (Gabrielle Miller), the doctor’s hedge fund manager (Matthew Humphreys) under SEC investigation for insider trading, a friend at a pharmaceutical firm (Matthew Rauch) whose drug trial was halted based on the doctor’s recommendation costing the firm millions, and the doctor’s estranged daughter (Allison Scagliotti).

Person of Interest - Proteus

After receiving six numbers from The Machine (five of whom have disappeared off the grid entirely), Reese (Jim Caviezel) heads out to a small Northeastern coastal town following the only one of the numbers whose whereabouts are known. There he finds an agent of the FBI (Luke Macfarlane) investigating the same case, but both are forced to sit out a storm in a police station with a group of locals and tourists, one of whom may well be their killer. Looking into the man’s apartment and basement Finch (Michael Emerson) discovers human teeth in the building’s boiler room leading Finch to believe someone has killed each of the six victims in order to assume their identities for his own nefarious purposes.

“Set out to correct the world’s wrongs and you’ll almost certainly wind up adding to them.”

Person of Interest - Relevance

The latest number delivered by The Machine turns out to be operative Samantha Shaw (Sarah Shahi) who works for a shadowy government agency to hunt down and stop terrorist threats discovered by The Machine. Sam’s life is compromised when her partner (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) begins questioning where the numbers come from, leading the pair to be set-up by “Control” and marked for death. I’m sad to know that Fairly Legal won’t be coming back for a third season, but I’m happy to see Shahi sink her teeth into a role like this with the promise of more appearances to come.
