Person of Interest continues to up the ante.
In this exclusive scene to The Hollywood Reporter from Thursday's episode of the CBS drama, NYPD officer Fusco (Kevin Chapman) reveals some lost items from the hotel room of Alicia Corwin, a government agent who had knowledge of The Machine, to Carter (Taraji P. Henson) and who was murdered by the hacker, Root (Amy Acker), in last season's finale.

This after Fusco asks Carter if she wants -- what else -- a Danish. Then Cheetos.
What's in the box under Fusco's arm? A photo, a micro-chip reader ... wait, what? While Carter questions why evidence is suddenly turning up again, Fusco is more hesistant to jump back into the ring. Why? "Whatever level these guys are playing at, we're not there."
