| - Reese arranges to meet with Carter at a diner, and she apologizes for betraying him to the CIA. (“Number Crunch”) She warns Reese that she has rules as a cop that she won’t break for him, but she does want to know more about what he does. Reese makes it clear to her in response that there’s no going back once he tells her, and avoids answering her question about where he gets his information. He hands her a piece of paper with a name on it, and explains that the woman, Andrea Gutierrez, is a civil litigator. Andrea has a sealed juvenile record and Reese wants Carter to get it for him. She reminds him about her rules again and Reese tells her that she’ll have to choose between maintaining the rules or saving a life. After giving her a cell phone to contact him, Reese leaves. Back at the library, Finch warns Reese that they can’t tell Carter about the Machine, the source of their information. He checks Andrea’s background and reports that she owes over $70,000 and suspects that she might have borrowed money from the wrong person. Currently, Andrea is pursuing cases against the state for mistreatment of prisoners, and has lost six cases to date. Reese follows Andrea as she goes to court, representing convict Terrence King against claims that he violated his parole by using drugs. After the judge grants a delay, Terrence insists that he’s innocent and asks Andrea if she can bring his son Jacob to see him and she promises to do so. As Terrence is taken back to prison he sees his parole officer, Dominic Galuska, and asks for his drug test that the officer took. Galuska says that there’s nothing he can do since they found the drugs in Terrence’s apartment, and that he should have been more careful. Andrea then goes to the DFS and talks to her friend Chris Scollard asking him to find Terrence’s missing blood test. He promises to help but his boss, Gloria Copeland, comes over and complains that she’s taking time away from his work and that Andrea isn’t going through proper channels to get Terrence’s file. Andrea goes to a bar and meets some friends while Reese clones her phone. He’s interrupted when Carter calls from the station to tell him that Andrea was convicted on larceny charges in high school. Meanwhile, Fusco is watching her act suspicious and calls to warn Reese, who tells him not to worry about it. After Reese cuts off Carter, Finch asks if it’s a good idea to keep Fusco and Carter in the dark about each other, and Reese tells him that it’s safer that they don’t know each other’s involvement. Andrea leaves the bar and Reese spots a man following her. He tackles the man as he draws a gun while Andrea continues on, oblivious. The would-be killer manages to get the upper hand on Reese because of the latter’s recent gunshot wounds and runs away. Reese discovers that the killer dropped a bottle of anabolic steroids and tells Finch that the man will certainly try again.
