A two time Screenplay Competition Finalist in the Existing Series Spec Episode Category, "PERSON OF INTEREST: TOXOPHILITE", features FINCH, REECE, SHAW, and ROOT as they are confronted by a mysterious nemesis who is targeting members of the DECIMA CORPORATION, as well as them.
A group of Mob members have been found massacred, many by arrow, and FUSCO sand REECE are brought in to investigate. The lone survivor, a man named NEIL RILEY, the the brother of the gang's now deceased leader, has been rushed to the hospital. However, when the archer's seemingly unrelated next targets are that of a pair of DECIMA operatives, the group begrudgingly decides to help them.
Shaw takes it upon herself to look one of the operatives; a man named JASON HAZARD, while ROOT continues to tail Riley, but she chooses not to inform Finch of his possible "Relevance" - a fact that has also brought the interest of Decima's director, JOHN GREER, as well. To wit, in a Machine flashback we see COLLIER'S death on the rooftop - and the archer is revealed as viewing the event from afar.
Greer visits Hazard in the hospital and questions his fidelity to Decima. Root, of course, views Greer's presence as an open invitation for assassination, but with Decima agents present, the group opts to abandon the scene. In the resulting chaos Shaw is trapped in the building as the archer arrives and attempts to slay Greer. However, in protecting Hazard, Shaw sidetracks the archer, and allows Greer the opportunity for a safe exit. As a result, Shaw and the archer face off, revealing that the archer is not Riley at all, but a former Control co-operative of Shaw's who mistakenly believes that Shaw now works for Decima.
As the archer's larger plan unfolds the situation comes to a head, and the remnants of the gang and Greer's men are pitted against one another, with Finch, Reece, Shaw, and Root caught in between.
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life.
A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert.
My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall.
I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside.
To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that.
"Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper.
A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun."
