The first season’s questions of morality, oh what’s right or wrong, and do our decisions help change us for the better or the worse, or are we simply what we are and all we can do is just make a choice and live with the consequences. All of this has been an inspiration for my own writing.
@@Johnmag1976That was literally the very last scene in that episode. So it's up to us to decide what Reese did. (Personally, I think he let him go, secure in the knowledge the guy would be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life.)
Also, the acting on the part of Andrew in this scene is just spectacular. He has the body language down flawlessly! Such realistic desperation. It is not an easy scene.
"Maybe good people need me to do the things they can't." Profound, ominous. Reese hates the monster he has become, and yet it's what he was born to do.
The show got some of the highest ratings of all time.....it was cancelled due to the fact that it wasn't produced by the company that was airing it, so CBS (who was airing it) wasn't making any money.
"Maybe good people need me to do the things they can't." Profound, ominous. Reese hates the monster he has become, and yet it's what he was born to do.
Doing good, doing what needs doing, has nothing to do with being nice and kind. It certainly has nothing to do with being "Right", else all the trumptards would end themselves for the good of everyone they choose to hate, what with being fat, useless, racist fucks and all, because that is what truly needs doing. Unless you fancy extinction...
I really liked the episode to episode person of the week. The overarching machine stuff was good until a point when it wasn't. The writing was still amazing even later e.g. the speech of the little kid controlled by the evil machine, the gunfight through the floor, but I guess the plot arc of good vs evil machine in the end was the problem.
@@moriellymoproblems7842 samaritan plot was boring. Every episode got even boring. Like "We got a number > This number is being involved with > Ooh...there is only one thing that can do it...SAMARITAN". And they just improvised from s3 onwards
John reese is a bad ass, and the character never got the credit for just how intelligent it was, because yes beat people with his body he was very good at it, but very often he beat people with his mind..... His intelligent was overshadowed by both finch and root but mr reese was very intelligent indeed.
Fun Fact: Every Fourth episode of a Person of Interest Season ends in Ambiguity. Season 1, Episode 4 - Reese ponders what he should do to the rapist. He says "Andrew, help me make a good decision." The screen fades to black. Season 2, Episode 4 - Reese tells the bounty hunter that he's "not here for the money." The screen fades to black. Season 3, Episode 4 - Reese leaves a gun to even the duel, walks out; two gun shots are heard, but the outcome can be guessed. The screen fades to black.
now thats a hard core fan, to answer adrians question, too bad its not. its about shaw being interrogated by greer via simulation to extract the location of the machine.
In the back of my mind this scene haunted me for a couple of days now. I just could'nt remember what show it was. But I just would'nt quit looking for it. And then finally, I saw this ! How can you possibly forget this scene? So cold and honest at the same time. It grabs you and would'nt let go. You could feel the fear. It is one of the best I've ever seen !
Even after all the season, this scene is still memorable and powerful. This as the episode and scene that banished any doubts and I was officially hooked.
This is one of the best endings to an episode on TV that I have ever seen. The acting from both, the writing, the music, the context, it all fits so deliciously well. Incredible!
Honestly, the most powerful scene in the entire series. Jim is perfect here and the naked cowardice is actually really believable. I absolutely love that the left it as a cold scene/ unresolved. Amazing show. It's a shame it wasn't a bigger hit. Loved this.
Now that all five seasons are available, Person of Interest really holds up. For all the acclaim given to Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, and the Sopranos, what at first appears to be no more than a gimmick of the week procedure is actually an excellent character study, a good hard look at society's interaction with technology, and most surprisingly, a deep dive into morality, ethics and heroism. I truly loved Reese and Finch, out of all the cop shows I have watched, they were the most conflicted and the most convicted about what they needed to do. They put their lives and souls on the line for what was right.
What gets me with this scene and others is Reese's ability to intimidate. He said he hadn't decided on what he was going to do with him. Yet earlier in the episode he steals some drugs from the Mexican Cartel.
He thought he could put the rapist in jail. That would've solved the problems. But he realized the rapist has connections in higher places, and he also realized that there has to be another way for getting rid of that rapist. Thats why he chose to say this. No strange thing here.
Arif Eren Nah man Reese wasn’t worried about that. Cuz he already decided that he’s going to put him in the prison in Mexico that he put Peter in too already, we as viewers just don’t know that yet until later on in the show. But yeah his decision as to what to do with Andrew he’d already decided. So at this point when he asks him to help him make a good decision, it’s either send him to Mexico or kill him. But like I said he’d already decided that
I have so many fan theories about this show. For instance, it occurred to me today as I was watching the show again today, that it wouldn't make sense for Reese to kill him. It would implicate Dr. Tillman as an accessory for murder. While the likelihood of her being caught is practically non existent he wasn't focused on the law. He was focused on how it changes a person. So it's possible that he didn't use the gun there or the lye. If he did kill him it would be away from there so as not to indite Tillman. Anyway, just a thought on this rewatch. Also, it's implied that he killed Peter but there are some tidbits indicating that he may not have. As I have been watching the show again this time around, it doesn't make sense. He's too good at his job. It's implied he's been in the assassin business for years yet in the very first episode you find out his fingerprints have only been found in 6 crime scenes and four countries had warrants out for him. It's too messy. Seems to me he wanted to make it look like Peter was dead. Reese just seemed tired of it all in that flashback he goes in for the attack. I don't know. You can argue he was out of shape after being shot so the fight was more difficult but the blood. The blood was never mentioned to be Reese's or the man in the suit. The only thing mentioned were the fingerprints.
" - I can see that you are a good person, you are a good man. - I lost that part of myself a long time ago Not sure if i can find it Not sure it matters anymore Maybe it´s better this way Maybe is up to me to do, what the good people can´t. Or maybe there are no good people Maybe there are only good decisions."
I think this is my favorite POI episode. It's just Finch and Reese and Linda Cardellini has a nice role. It's not that i dislike Root or Shaw but i just enjoyed the earlier episodes more.
Root was ok Shaw was an abysmal character who destroyed the series. Reese literally turned into the loyal guard dog that root taunted him to be from series 3 onwards with nothing but pure cheese coming from shaw next to him.
Nope. My favorite thing about POI is that the chick's Shaw and Root were so frigging good. You're wrong. Until Shaw got knocked up IRL and ruined the show. However her character is good til the end.
I was going to praise this scene but I see people have already done it. This ending is just spectacular, Jim Caviezel at his very best and the actor playing Andrew Benton was also incredible. Great Acting, the music from Ramin Djawadi is awesome and amazing writing.
Definitely the best scene in season 1. Absolutely amazing. This calm that Reese radiates, this superiority, only: WOW!!! Reese's acting is reduced to the essential, and this is more than enough. Only speaking through his awesome eyes. But the acting of Andrew was formidable, too. Very impressive, you could see how it got smaller and smaller....as if he wanted to sink into the ground. The perfect interplay. The look in Reese's eyes creates goosebumps on me......
@John Reese... the actor playing Andrew Benton is Adam Rothenberg. He has a major role now in a series called Ripper Street. It's a BBC show, and they started airing it here in Australia this year. The episode I saw I found too disturbing so I couldn't watch any more... in any case I still think Mr Rothenberg is an awesome actor... and this is still my fave POI scene ever
Crossed some lines? Reese: people don't really change, do they! The best poi, is where Carter finds out that a Mexican police officer calls her about a newly acquired prisoner of theirs. She asks: how many of these people do you have? The Mexican authority says: quite a few actually. Then hangs up. Carter then realizes, Reese is not the cold blooded killer she thinks he is.
@@ruffnek2072 Pretty late for a reply and you probably don't care, but he 100% put him in the prison and I'm pretty sure this wasn't the end of the episode (unless it mentioned it at the start of the next one)
- Finch and the machine playing chess - the stock exchange shootout, where Shaw sacrifices herself, so the team could get away - the machine and samaritan first "face to face" (that kid should win every award in existence for that scene alone!) - Greer as an MI-6 agent (the flashback where he loses his partner and then kills his boss) - Harold threatening to blow Alicia corwin sky high, due to Nathan's death - the machine giving up its location, so that Greer let Harold and Root go - the parallel between Samaritan and the Sodoma and Gomorrah story (I love that one) 👍😉 - of course, the season finale. I mean, the death of a computer program to the rhythm of pink floyd's "welcome to the machine", at the very moment the world's finest villain is teaching you "world domination 101" it's not just good television: it's art! 💫
Person of Interest, Mr robot are the best shows. Unlike other shows, the beginning and ending of these shows intertwined with each other, it felt like it was written all over and perfected from before the show set off on it's adventurer to tv world. I don't any other show that started and ended as marvellously as those two.
This show was supposed to have 6 seasons. It got ended prematurely, yet still got a fantastic ending. Most shows that end naturally don’t get as good endings as Person of Interest.
Well i think if someone tried to kill me i would kill them first cause of course you don't want to get killed and for john he doesn't like people who hurt people to not do nothing here went around the world looking for bad guys and he finds then but if i was there and i had a job like reese saying people i would want to help even ig i got hurt i want to help people and people in trouble from anyone bad our if they need help
***** like yes of course if she is a killer he would defend himself of course he doesn't like to fight women but if she was trying to kill him our something he would stop her like in person of interest season 5 that women tried to kill john but he only knocked her out not kill but i dont think he would he wants to hurt a woman but if she is trying to kill him of course he will fight back to save himself
notice Benton didnt have an ounce of remorse for his victims or for destroying their lives. I really am surprised Reese didnt kill him. Reese also recognizes that he is a monster too. such a powerful scene.
Even though it's later hinted that Andrew might be in a prison in Mexico, I personally think John killed him. This was very early in the series when John was still more of a killer than later on. John spared Fusco because he know that Fusco's heart wasn't into being corrupt, but meanwhile the unarguably evil people that John encountered such as Stills and the hit man from episode 2 ended up dead, and it's highly likely that Andrew did as well.
A ballsy move for a show not even 10 episodes old, to end on something like that, and it wouldn't be the last time people on the show would struggle with the concept of killing one person for the good of the many, and it would show on several occasions the lack of doing so can in fact, lead to disaster (i.e. Samaritan)
Its in this scene when he says i don't think your going to kill me cause your a good person and reese says good not sure about that awwww but it's when he says if you hurt people cause you know if you hurt anyone ill know and ill find you
Last TH person of interest was not on, because of the debate, so I decided to watch part of Last Resort and I have to say that Reese could take out all the bad guys on that island in the time it takes Captain Chaplin to have breakfast. It would be cool to have the stars of action shows go up against each other to see who could win in a fight.
This conversation reminds me of a line from Red Dead Redemption 2: “People don’t change. They just become more of who they already are.” And I think there’s a point to that. Like did you think someone you knew changed or were you looking at them with a bias so you could never see who they truly were
In the episode where John takes out the US marshal and the prison guard phones Carter to tell her he has her prisoner. And she asks if he has other Americans there. I think he was one of them. John doesn’t kill him, or let him go. He sends him to a prison where expensive lawyers don’t matter. Everything is so subtly tied together in this series. Best series ever. Will never forgive those responsible for ending it.
Whenever bad person gets caught and is in process of getting punished by good person. Bad guy: your a good person you don't need to kill me. You have a good heart. 😂😂😂😂😂 (Classic bad guy saying)
Yes they do it's only people who don't want to change that don't. They limit themselves in their own thinking. Having a basic character is a positive thing. It's a foundation but so long as that foundation is a healthy one. Many people don't or didn't have that from the beginning.
Guaranteed this character will re-appear at some point in the series indicating Reese let him live. And Andrew will have probably done something pretty bad to someone Reese knows or once knew, and the shit will hit the fan then
This part only Sir Jim Caviezel could do .... Breaking One's Evil without Breaking One's Good.... He is the chosen one by God himself... God Bless Jim Caviezel
"Or maybe there are no good people. Maybe there are only good decisions."
One of my favorite lines of all time. Jonathan Nolan is a fucking genius.

brilliantly written scene
Yes, Jonathan Nolan is a genius, but I think this scene was actually written by Denise The.
Now i want/ need to know what is going to happen !!!!!
I love the gun on the table. I seriously think the Reese wanted the guy to reach for, just to make the decision easier
Definitely did. There was no way the rapist was gonna walk away. But having it be on his terms makes it easier for John, if only a little.
While we're talking about the gun, look at it here 1:07
and then here 1:14
and tell me who's jumping the gun
@@dnds4
Well, one could argue that Reese did that so Benton wouldn't have any fun idea
Extremely frustrating since it is one of the very few épisodes i never saw. What happens then ????
@@Johnmag1976That was literally the very last scene in that episode. So it's up to us to decide what Reese did. (Personally, I think he let him go, secure in the knowledge the guy would be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life.)

He´s begging for his life, great matching acting.
Maybe they really pointed a loaded gun on to his head and told to make a great scene...?
"Andrew, help me make a good decision..." Man, he is a master of voice inflection! There is thunder in that whisper!
"How do you do that with your voice?"
One of the best scenes of this underrated show. Strong performance by Caviezel.
"Maybe good people need me to do the things they can't." Profound, ominous. Reese hates the monster he has become, and yet it's what he was born to do.
Best scene of the entire 5 seasons.... except for when he tells his love to wait for him.
Not underrated, at all.
The show got some of the highest ratings of all time.....it was cancelled due to the fact that it wasn't produced by the company that was airing it, so CBS (who was airing it) wasn't making any money.
Hands down this is my favorite scene in the entire show

Unless you fancy extinction...
Thats the 2nd reason why Finch hired him.
Carl Bailey ditto for demoncrats.. stupid of you to be obsessed with Trump or his supporters to being it into your fantasy world..
Kind of reminds me of Elias in S3E10. "We're part of something older. Which means we can do what the civilized people can not."
Whoever wrote this script, I love you...
Was one of the best written shows around.
Gone shit after season 3. It had its moments after that too but became really boring after s3.

It was this scene that made me realize how special this show would become
I just binge-watched this episode and this scene gave me goosebumps again. Reese is one of the best tv characters ever.
And I'm pretty sure Reese killed him.
Actualy he surely didn't.
In the end of 21st episode of the first season it seems that he is one the the americans mentioned in the prison.
@@M4ke4l Andrew would rather go to jail than meet Reese again.
This scene was the first glimpse of what this show would become. Literally a perfect scene of television.
Earth shattering TV, indescribibly awesome episode

That episode had the best acting of the entire series...
" - I can see that you are a good person, you are a good man.
- I lost that part of myself a long time ago
Not sure if i can find it
Not sure it matters anymore
Maybe it´s better this way
Maybe is up to me to do, what the good people can´t.
Or maybe there are no good people
Maybe there are only good decisions."
This part of the scene speaks to me. I can relate to it.
And the way he repeated the word *good* spoke volumes
In my opinion one of the best scenes of the season , really awesome
I think this is my favorite POI episode. It's just Finch and Reese and Linda Cardellini has a nice role. It's not that i dislike Root or Shaw but i just enjoyed the earlier episodes more.

This is the moment I knew the show would be something incredible
Best show ever
This scene is so flipping awesome
Best scene in the entire run of the show.
Arguably the best scene in the series.
And this why John is my favorite superhero
Another great example of how an actor can deftly portray to truly terrifying character.
With his new movie, Sound of Freedom, I remembered this scene. Almost like this scene is the prequel.
Crossed some lines?
Reese: people don't really change, do they!
The best poi, is where Carter finds out that a Mexican police officer calls her about a newly acquired prisoner of theirs. She asks: how many of these people do you have? The Mexican authority says: quite a few actually. Then hangs up. Carter then realizes, Reese is not the cold blooded killer she thinks he is.
Me: I dont think that you're going to kill me
Exams: No?
Me: No, because I can see inside that you're a good person XD
Reminds me a bit like “Man on Fire”:
Creasy: “Do you think God will forgive us for what we’ve done?
Raeburn: “No.”
Creasy: “You don’t? Me neither.”
IDK if he'll ever return but I thought Reese killed him. But seeing the latest episode, I think Reese let him live but put him in that prison.

My favourite scene ☺️
This is JC's Emmy submission scene if you ask me. It should get him the Emmy easy. Incredible scene.
This scene is even more awesome than the diner scene in pulp ficiton
Such a great show. With all the recycles crap on TV why isn’t this show one of them?
It's shown on weekends, very late at night, on ABC, where I live, two episodes per week.
Favorite scene!

Yes.
The Simulation of the machine
Control/Harold 's scene in S4EP12
***** the episode youre looking for is Foe in season 1, where the german spy kills his former colleagues
- Finch and the machine playing chess
- the stock exchange shootout, where Shaw sacrifices herself, so the team could get away
- the machine and samaritan first "face to face" (that kid should win every award in existence for that scene alone!)
- Greer as an MI-6 agent (the flashback where he loses his partner and then kills his boss)
- Harold threatening to blow Alicia corwin sky high, due to Nathan's death
- the machine giving up its location, so that Greer let Harold and Root go
- the parallel between Samaritan and the Sodoma and Gomorrah story (I love that one) 👍😉
- of course, the season finale. I mean, the death of a computer program to the rhythm of pink floyd's "welcome to the machine", at the very moment the world's finest villain is teaching you "world domination 101" it's not just good television: it's art! 💫

people dont change unless they have to.

Amazing presence. Such intensity!!
The guy was thinking about reaching the gun. But Reese noticed and stared at him.
Thats not a man who would ever hurt a woman jim caviezel he is the best man he is kind and caring
Well i think if someone tried to kill me i would kill them first cause of course you don't want to get killed and for john he doesn't like people who hurt people to not do nothing here went around the world looking for bad guys and he finds then but if i was there and i had a job like reese saying people i would want to help even ig i got hurt i want to help people and people in trouble from anyone bad our if they need help
***** look at my comment underneath
***** like yes of course if she is a killer he would defend himself of course he doesn't like to fight women but if she was trying to kill him our something he would stop her like in person of interest season 5 that women tried to kill john but he only knocked her out not kill but i dont think he would he wants to hurt a woman but if she is trying to kill him of course he will fight back to save himself
The way this clip opens is so reminiscent of the first scene in the pilot.
I love JC!😍
He doesn't love you.😂
He never made any decision and both stayed there staring each other for the eternity.
notice Benton didnt have an ounce of remorse for his victims or for destroying their lives. I really am surprised Reese didnt kill him. Reese also recognizes that he is a monster too. such a powerful scene.
Reese smiled at the bs the perpetrator spoke.
A Fallout and TES fan kidnapped Todd Howard after discovering that TES VI is using the same engine and also multiplayer only (E3 2020, colorized)
Even though it's later hinted that Andrew might be in a prison in Mexico, I personally think John killed him. This was very early in the series when John was still more of a killer than later on. John spared Fusco because he know that Fusco's heart wasn't into being corrupt, but meanwhile the unarguably evil people that John encountered such as Stills and the hit man from episode 2 ended up dead, and it's highly likely that Andrew did as well.
Reese is awesome
"Help me make a good decision" Ten gosc jest zadymisty!
A ballsy move for a show not even 10 episodes old, to end on something like that, and it wouldn't be the last time people on the show would struggle with the concept of killing one person for the good of the many, and it would show on several occasions the lack of doing so can in fact, lead to disaster (i.e. Samaritan)
That was some dang good television!
Best 3 minutes on Television....
Its in this scene when he says i don't think your going to kill me cause your a good person and reese says good not sure about that awwww but it's when he says if you hurt people cause you know if you hurt anyone ill know and ill find you
Reese face is so intense
R.İ.P John Reese
Last TH person of interest was not on, because of the debate, so I decided to watch part of Last Resort and I have to say that Reese could take out all the bad guys on that island in the time it takes Captain Chaplin to have breakfast.
It would be cool to have the stars of action shows go up against each other to see who could win in a fight.
“Maybe there are no good people, maybe there are only good decisions.” THAT is the way.
"I don't think you're going to kill me-"
Oh? You really don't?
"This is a mistake"
Is it ?
Well he made one right decision. He didn't reach for the gun.
This conversation reminds me of a line from Red Dead Redemption 2: “People don’t change. They just become more of who they already are.” And I think there’s a point to that. Like did you think someone you knew changed or were you looking at them with a bias so you could never see who they truly were
In the episode where John takes out the US marshal and the prison guard phones Carter to tell her he has her prisoner. And she asks if he has other Americans there. I think he was one of them. John doesn’t kill him, or let him go. He sends him to a prison where expensive lawyers don’t matter. Everything is so subtly tied together in this series. Best series ever. Will never forgive those responsible for ending it.
Whenever bad person gets caught and is in process of getting punished by good person.
Bad guy: your a good person you don't need to kill me. You have a good heart. 😂😂😂😂😂
(Classic bad guy saying)
So who used this setting 1st, POI or Justified?
That is the best description for it :D
Yes they do it's only people who don't want to change that don't. They limit themselves in their own thinking. Having a basic character is a positive thing. It's a foundation but so long as that foundation is a healthy one. Many people don't or didn't have that from the beginning.
love it love it
Guaranteed this character will re-appear at some point in the series indicating Reese let him live. And Andrew will have probably done something pretty bad to someone Reese knows or once knew, and the shit will hit the fan then
Honestly a part of me want Reese to kill him, but this scene is so powerful and deep. I love this
Season 1 was incredible.
You have to be pressed to a certain point. Otherwise it means snothing.
This part only Sir Jim Caviezel could do .... Breaking One's Evil without Breaking One's Good....
He is the chosen one by God himself... God Bless Jim Caviezel
talk about mindfuck
Oh my gosh, I want to know what happened SO BAD!
