Person of Interest - S05E05 - "ShotSeeker" - 05/17/2016

eam Machine finds itself back to tracking numbers and this week’s number is Ethan Garvin, a police analyst with the NYPD Shotseeker program.

Apparently Ethan has been digging into the disappearance of an old schoolmate, Krupa and someone wants him to stop.
It turns out that Krupa developed a new food process that could help end world hunger and she decided to sell it to the Non-profit humanitarian group as opposed to the Food megacorporation Harvesta which is not above dirty tricks to get what they want.

Meanwhile, Elias’ old friend, Bruce Moran has surfaced and starts threatening Fusco’s son.
He wants to know who killed Elias and he starts pressuring John for the answer.

The investigation into Krupa’s disappearance doesn’t seem to be adding up, although the police are supposed to believe that Harvesta is responsible but it becomes apparent that it’s really Samaritan trying to bury the new discovery.
(After all, why would Samaritan want to end world hunger?)

Root manages to track down a backup of Krupa’s research and she and Finch decide to release it to the Internet to neutralize the threat to Ethan, but not before they realize that the housepainter from SNAFU, Jeff Blackwell, is now working for Samaritan,

Meanwhile, Reese has been kidnapped. The Team assumes it was by Decima agents (nice scene with Fusco rallying the troops, BTW) but it was Moran and he damn well wants to know who killed Elias.

In a turn I did not see coming, it turns out that Fusco dragged a wounded Elias from the van and Harold and John have been nursing him back to health in the Safehouse.

Elias tells Bruce that’s its a brand new world out there and he needs to lay low but we’re not sure that Bruce will take his advice.

Back on the Machine Wars front, Harold has taken some of the Samaritan code and placed it in one non connected computer, taken some of the Machine’s code and placed it on another non connected computer, connected the two, and allowed them to go head to head.

It’s not the Colossus/Guardian moment I was hoping for but it’s a very grim experiment as in over 10 billion contests, the Machine didn’t even win one against Samaritan.

It’s also alarming that Samaritan has cooppted the Shotseeker program as another tool to spy on people.

It’s a good episode but at this point, I still don’t know if and how Team Machine can prevail.
