Person of Interest

We are being watched.

The government has a secret system...

a machine that spies on you every hour of every day.

I designed the machine to detect acts of terror,

but it sees everything...

Violent crimes involving ordinary people.

The government considers these people irrelevant.

We don't.

Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret.

You will never find us.

But victim or perpetrator,

if your number's up, we'll find you.

The engineers that Corwin had reassembled the machine.

After we shipped it off, there have been accidents,

disappearances.

I think the government may be killing them.

Alicia isn't going to have me bumped off.

I knew you would come, my friends.

The victims of the ferry bombing

include Nathan Ingram, founder and CEO of IFT Inc.,

- one of the world's... - Did you know?

Hello?

Alicia Corwin...

...you are a murderer and a traitor.

Who is this?

The actions of you and your associates

have not gone unnoticed.

Because of you, Nathan Ingram is dead.

Consider this a warning.

Code 703412.

Office of Special Counsel, please.

I'm sorry, Special Counsel is unavailable.

No, you get him on the phone right now!

I have just been threatened. Someone knows.

We'll look into it.

He was my best friend, and...

in an instant, he was simply... gone.

I've struggled with my injury every day since then.

I fear I may never regain the use of my arm.

I'm sorry, Dr. Edwards, this was probably a bad idea.

It's okay, Harold, you don't have to say

anything more than you're comfortable with.

But... you know the way you talk about your accident,

the loss of your friend, the pain, it seems as though

you've carried this grief for some time.

Everyone grieves in different ways.

Hey, glasses, tell him about all your nut ball friends.

Maybe he can give you guys a group therapy discount.

I think by now, you count

as one of Harold's nut ball friends, Lionel.

With you people, there's no other kind.

Shane Edwards.

Guy's a shrink for victims of violent crimes.

Big time psychiatrist once upon a time.

Then he lost his wife.

Eight years ago, Lucy Edwards.

She was murdered in their apartment

by a psycho delivery guy.

Shane founded his non-profit soon after.

You live alone?

No. Well, yes, technically.

I have a dog.

Is the dog from your wife?

No, we never...

My fiancee didn't have any pets. How do you know...

That there was someone else in your life?

Just a hunch.

We broke it off, and...

that's really all I have to say about that.

I understand, but I want you to know I've been in that seat.

I'm no stranger to what you're feeling.

Why don't we call it, talk more next time.

Sound good?

Is that your wife?

Yeah. Yeah, that's Lucy.

Like I said, I've been there before.

She died eight years ago.

Oh, I'm so terribly sorry, Dr. Edwards.

You know, even when your world stops,

the world around you keeps moving forward,

and you will too.

Take care, Harold.

Thanks.

I still have dreams sometimes where I'm walking...

and then I wake up.

How does that make you feel?

Trapped, helpless. Every morning, that first moment

when I wake up and I realize I can't feel my legs,

I'm forced to relive it.

Seeing Barton behind the wheel, high off his ass,

and then he hits me.

His lawyers must have gotten him out of rehab early,

because I saw a picture of him partying the other day.

He's posting all these stupid status updates,

promoting his new club.

It's not fair that he does this to me,

and he gets to go out and live his life.

Can I punch this guy in the face?

Get in line.

You have every reason to be angry, Angela,

but you have to let it go. You can't change the past.

And people like that, they don't walk free forever.

Karma has a way of finding them.

Edwards' job involved dredging up a lot of details

about violent crimes.

Maybe he dug up something he wasn't supposed to.

You got this one, Lionel.

I got a therapy session of my own to get to.

Yeah, give Red my regards.

There seems to be a little bit of darkness

about you today, Detective.

I met a guy this morning who lost someone.

Changed his life.

Just brings up bad memories.

And how do you handle loss?

You don't want to go there.

You're retreating inward again, John.

What was that you said about new habits?

Developing new habits isn't as easy as it sounds.

How was your session with Dr. Campbell?

Doctor/patient confidentiality, Finch.

Fair enough.

Any luck with Edward's apartment?

I must say, I'm getting rather good...

at this breaking and entering business.

Although I don't quite understand

the purpose of the carnitas.

Ah, it's just an old spy trick

for neutralizing security systems.

Security system?

- Knock knock. - Oh, hey, Becca.

We got some of your mail again.

Someone should probably say something to the mailman.

He gets confused 'cause we look so much alike.

Good point.

Where's Hector today?

He only does Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Hector.

It's very funny, Mr. Reese.

My coworkers and I are gonna go check out

that new bar up the street, and I... we were wondering

if maybe you'd like to come along.

Thanks, but I-I got a prior commitment.

Oh, yeah, of course, sure. No problem.

Figured I'd just ask.

Say hi to Hector for me.

Will do.

All right, Finch, Edwards is headed for the gym.

Find anything in his apartment?

Edwards' wife's belongings are everywhere.

But she died eight years ago.

Perhaps he hasn't taken his own advice about moving on.

Finch, I think we may have a problem.

Edwards just planted a gun in someone's gym locker.

And now he's leaving the gym without working out.

Okay, he just went into a bank.

Edwards is following a very deliberate schedule,

setting up pieces.

You think he's going to rob the bank?

He's making his move, Finch.

Or not.

Something else is going on.

He's using a code to go in through the service entrance.

Might be messing with the electrical system,

security cams.

What's he doing now?

He's making a call from a burner phone.

Clyde Barton.

Hi, is this the account holder

at After Hours Management?

Yeah.

This is Brian Humphries at Fisher Savings & Loan.

It appears the government's made an inquiry into your account

and decided to freeze it.

Are you kidding me?

My accountant said everything was in order!

Sir, there's no need to raise your voice.

This is a pretty standard procedure.

If you'll just come down to our branch on Montague,

we can get all this straightened out.

You bet your ass we will. I'll be right there!

Finch, you got a line on After Hours Management?

When it comes to breaking, entering, and hacking,

I can only do two at a time.

Finch, that guy Edwards was talking to...

Clyde Barton? That club owner

who put Edwards' patient in a wheelchair.

How'd you know?

Edwards seems to have done

extensive research on Clyde Barton,

and he's been researching this bank for weeks.

Hello? Fisher Savings.

Hi, is this Brian Humphries?

- Yeah. - Listen carefully.

My associate is about to rob your bank.

Now, if you cooperate fully

without alerting the authorities,
