| - The Machine monitors Reese's capture and determines that its asset may be compromised. At Rikers Island, Carter interrogates Reese while Agent Donnelly watches through a one-way mirror. She informs Reese that he's being held indefinitely as an enemy combatant and will not be allowed access to legal counsel until his identity is confirmed. Reese remains silent. At The Library, Finch calls Fusco at the station. The detective wonders where Carter is and why no one is returning his calls, and Finch tells him that he needs Fusco to protect their newest Number. Fusco isn't impressed, until Finch sends him photos of the woman, supermodel Karolina Kurkova. At Rikers, one of the other men claims his name is Devon Clark and he was at the bank applying for a loan for his pest control company. The other two prisoners have similar cover stories. When Reese is brought in, Carter warns him that he's being watched and asks for his name. Reese sticks to the name on his fake ID, John Warren. Donnelly brings up the files they have on the ID while Reese claims that he has no idea why he was arrested and tells Carter that she's his only hope of going home. In Washington, Special Counsel receives a memo from the FBI asking about his connection to the man in the suit. He calls his man, Hersh, who has been tracking the rogue operative, and tells him that he has to find the operative and make him disappear. When Hersh warns that the operative is hard to track, Special Counsel tells him that the FBI believes he's one of four men being held at Rikers. Hersh promises to eliminate all four and then arranges his own arrest by shooting a gun into the air near two police officers. Warden Hutchins warns Donnelly that he's holding the prisoners too long, but Donnelly warns him that he's aware of plenty of penal violations and tells him to tend to those first. Carter comes in and asks Donnelly to uncuff the men so that they'll trust her enough to come clean. Donnelly reluctantly agrees and then figures that the man they're looking for could have created an airtight cover. The three mercenaries all live out of state and agents are checking on them, while Reese apparently works on Wall Street. Donnelly leaves with Carter to check out the address and see if it's valid. As they go, Carter sends a text message to Finch about their investigation, and Finch tells her to check it out. When Donnelly and his men arrive at the office address with Carter, they discover that it is a complete business. Reese has an office with photos of his family and a concerned secretary who says that she hasn't seen Reese in several days. Once she's alone, Carter calls Finch, who confirms that the John Warren ID is John's most complete cover identity. However, he admits that John Warren is still an incomplete cover and if Donnelly spots a flaw, then their work will be in jeopardy. Finch warns Carter that she's in danger as well, while Carter warns Finch that right now the three mercenaries think they're being held for the murders they attempted two episodes prior. Once they realize that Donnelly wants the man in the suit, they'll give Reese up immediately. Carter figures that they should pin the man in a suit persona on one of them, and Finch confirms that he's already trying to identify the mercenaries and their backgrounds to figure out which one they can tie to the crime while also working on an escape plan in the event that is not possible. Carter suggests that maybe Fusco could help her, and Finch checks on Fusco. The detective is busy being pepper-sprayed by Karolina when he follows her into a park. He finally identifies himself as a cop, and Finch tells Carter that they'd better handle it on their own. Donnelly finds Carter and admits that the office set appears convincing. He gives her a wireless earpiece so that he can feed her questions during her interrogations. Donnelly assures her that they will go through the lives of all four prisoners with a fine-tooth comb.
