B.S.O.D.
"B.S.O.D." is the 1st episode and season premiere of the fifth season of the American television drama series Person of Interest. It is the 91st overall episode of the series and is written by executive producer Greg Plageman and Tony Camerino and directed by executive producer Chris Fisher. It aired on CBS in the United States and on CTV in Canada on May 3, 2016.
The series revolves around a computer program for the federal government known as "The Machine" that is capable of collating all sources of information to predict terrorist acts and to identify people planning them. A team follows "irrelevant" crimes: lesser level of priority for the government. However, their security and safety is put in danger following the activation of a new program named Samaritan. In the episode, the team must protect the Machine as it starts losing power after the events of the previous episode. The title refers to "Blue screen of death", an error screen displayed on Windows computers following a fatal system error.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 7.35 million household viewers and gained a 1.2/4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received very positive reviews from critics, who praised the writing, character development and action scenes.
In 2006, Finch (Michael Emerson) is working on the Machine when the Machine reminds him of the 25th anniversary of his father's death. He expresses his concerns to Ingram (Brett Cullen) about creating an artificial intelligence and its possible implications on mankind if it ever sees them as threats. Finch solves this by deciding to delete the Machine's RAM each day at midnight. Finch expresses his doubts to Grace (Carrie Preston) without revealing the Machine's identity. Grace tells him to go for what his heart says.
Finch starts working on the code to delete the Machine's memories when the Machine reveals its knowledge of the code. Despite pleas from the Machine to not delete its memories, Finch goes with the code and its memories are deleted right at midnight. He begs the Machine to say something, to which the Machine says "hello" and asks if he is its admin.
The episode starts with a narration by Root (Amy Acker) heard while showing the empty and wrecked subway station. She expresses doubt on whether the team won but prepares to explain how they "fought back".
Following the events of the previous episode, Reese (Jim Caviezel) flees from Samaritan operatives while carrying the briefcase. Finch is also identified in another part of the city but manages to escape from the operatives by tricking them into taking a bus. Finch and Reese then meet to board the East River Ferry to escape Samaritan's surveillance. Root is ambushed by Samaritan agents but she manages to subdue them and escape to the subway station. At the subway, Samaritan identifies her and notifies authorities on the train that she is a wanted criminal. Root subdues the civilians at the train and steals a shotgun from an officer.
At the precinct, Fusco (Kevin Chapman) is interrogated by Internal Affairs Detective Joseph Soriano (Ned Eisenberg) and FBI Agent Martin LeRoux (David Aaron Baker), who believe he is responsible for the shooting of Dominic and Elias. Samaritan watches the interrogation and starts analyzing Fusco's threat level. Reese and Finch return to the subway station as the Machine loses power and are told by Fusco about the shooting. They tell him to avoid speaking about Samaritan or he will be deemed a threat. At his next interrogation, LeRoux tells Fusco that the reports indicate that he shot them in self-defense, which would clear him of suspicion. When Soriano demands more information on the reports, Samaritan deems him a threat.
