The Hypnotherapist, His Girlfriend and the Antiquarian
claudio_carvalho29 February 2024
The Machine delivers the number of the hypnotherapist Hayden Price, and Finch schedules a session to investigate him. Soon he finds that Hayden is a con artist that steals his clients, transferring funds to a foundation of his own. Hayden contacts his beloved girlfriend Natalie Boal and tells her that he intends to leave New York very soon. The he cons a man in fifty thousand dollars and cheats his own partner, saying that the amount was only twenty thousand dollars. While following Hayden, Reese and Shaw stumbles upon Caryer who is trying to find the head of the HR. Hayden goes to an auction where his client, the antiques dealer Sven Vanger, is laundering money for the HR. Soon Laskey is summoned by Simmons and Terney, who ask him to kill Sven, a.k.a. The Swede. But Hayden has also conned Sven to buy a baseball. Carter visits Elias, who explains her how HR cleans the money they receive from the Russians using the auction house. The situation becomes complicated since Hayden cheated Sven giving false information to buy an expensive baseball and Sven has sold it per five dollars to a kid.

"The Perfect Mark" is an excellent episode of "Person of Interest", with a plot with many unexpected twists. Hayden Price masterstroke fails based on a detail. Carter finally finds the head of the HR. Laskey and Terney are gone and only Root still remains in the show, I hope for a few time. Looking forward to seeing the next episode My vote is nine.

Great episode with some nice twists.
ritkratos24 July 2015
This is your run-of-the-mill Person Of Interest episode until the last bit which is up there among the best I've seen yet.

The plot was good and had some twists which you could not see coming and a great performance by Aaron Staton.

The action scenes were comparatively fewer in this one but John smashing a stool across Terney's face makes up for the scarcity, and how!

Something in particular that I would want to praise about this episode (an observation which, for the record, is not only limited to this episode alone) is Taraji P. Henson's acting. She's done a great job as Joss Carter and she continues to put out praiseworthy performances each episode. She's extremely good at displaying subtle emotions. I can feel Joss' pain,joy,frustration,sorrow etc. Kudos Taraji! Her performance in the last bit of this episode is nothing short of exceptional.
