"Guilty" is the 14th episode of the fourth season of the American television drama series Person of Interest. It is the 82nd overall episode of the series and is written by co-executive producer David Slack and directed by Kate Woods. It aired on CBS in the United States and on CTV in Canada on February 10, 2015.
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, Reese and Finch decide to return to the numbers after having lost many lives in their fight against Samaritan. Finch is summoned to jury duty and his new colleague turns out to be their newest number, who is trying to go for a "guilty" verdict. Despite being credited, Amy Acker does not appear.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 9.53 million household viewers and gained a 1.6/5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received generally positive reviews, although critics criticized the lack of plot development.
