"4C" is the 13th episode of the third season of the American television drama series Person of Interest. It is the 58th overall episode of the series and is written by producer Melissa Scrivner Love and executive producer Greg Plageman and directed by Stephen Williams. It aired on CBS in the United States and on CTV in Canada on January 14, 2014.
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, consisting of John Reese, Harold Finch and Sameen Shaw follow "irrelevant" crimes: lesser level of priority for the government. In the episode, Reese boards an international flight to escape his former life. However, the Machine indicates that the plane is in danger due to a passenger aboard and Reese must prevent a crash and uncover the mystery. Despite being credited, Kevin Chapman and Amy Acker do not appear in the episode.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 12.54 million household viewers and gained a 2.0/6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received positive reviews, with critics praising Caviezel's performance and action scenes although the main case and Levine's performance received a more mixed response.
