Person of Interest/Recap/S01/E16: Difference between revisions

With Carter's help, Reese and Finch uncover a conspiracy by a broker and an SEC investigator to short the stocks of Trytek, which is about to go under thanks to a pro-fracking bill. They're able to thwart the final stage of thier plan by having Adam use Finch's money to reinvigorate the stock, and the conspirators are arrested by the NYPD. The SEC investigator is found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, but Carter realises this happened ''after'' the officer was arrested. She examines security footage of the arrest and realises that the arresting policeman was [[Person of Interest/Recap/S01 E07|Scarface]], who also dropped a burner phone in a nearby rubbish bin. Carter retrieves the phone and delivers it to Reese, along with her suspicions about who could organise such a slick money-making scheme and could use $300 million to fund a personal war. John dials the only number in the phone's memory.

 

 

-----

* [[Always Murder]]: Minor example. Everyone writes off the SEC officer's death as a suicide except Carter, who realises the death took place ''after'' his arrest.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Adam makes a truckload of money on the short sale of [[Person of Interest/Recap/S01 E06|Virtanen Pharmaceuticals]] when the executives are imprisoned.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[The Chicago Code|Matt Lauria]] as Adam the trader.

* [[Homeless Pigeon Person]]: Joan lacks the animal familiar, but otherwise fits this trope.
