| - A man walking through a parking garage is struck by a white SUV. In voice-over, a voice says that they have a problem. Reese joins Finch at a diner and asks him what’s good. Finch refuses to answer, knowing it’s an attempt to learn more about him. Finch gives Reese a menu and leaves. Reese opens the menu and sees that there is a photo of their next Person of Interest in it. Later, Finch briefs Reese as he sits watching a bearded man and a boy; Judge Samuel Gates is a criminal courts judge. He lives with his son Sam Jr. The boy’s mother, Elizabeth, died of cancer a year ago, and Gates hired a nanny, Christina Rojas. Gates has a reputation for being tough, and receives death threats regularly. Reese begins watching Gates in court, planting a fake fire alarm call box containing a hidden camera. He breaks into Gates’ office and confirms that he has a sizable number of enemies due to his tough stance on crime, and that he’s received dozens of death threats. Reese gives Finch the letters, and he identifies six possible suspects, who Reese begins to pursue. Meanwhile, Reese continues to watch Gates, and sees two men approaching the judge. He moves in to dispose of them, but one of them receives a call on a disposable cell phone, tosses it into the garbage, and walks away from Gates with his companion. Reese checks the cell phone and finds a text message saying that Sam Jr. is out of school. He heads for Gates’ brownstone just as three men emerge. Reese takes out two of them, but the third one shoots him in the shoulder and escape with the boy. When Reese gets back to the library and tends his wound, Finch informs him that the Machine is correct and that the kidnapping plot must somehow end with Gates’ death. When he wonders what they do next, Reese says that his plan is to find Sam and bring him home. One of the kidnappers, Jarek Koska calls Gates and tells him not to bring in the authorities, then hangs up. As Gates calls Christina and the school to determine what happened to Sam, Reese approaches him and offers his assistance. At first, the judge suspects that Reese is in league with the kidnappers. Reese insists that he isn’t and that he was at Gates’ brownstone and tried to stop them. He figures that the kidnappers are keeping Sam alive as a bargaining chip and there’s something they want Gates to do. When Gates wonders who Reese is, Reese tells him to focus on getting his son back.
