Overview

"M.I.A." is the 13th episode of the fourth season of the American television drama series Person of Interest. It is the 81st overall episode of the series and is written by Lucas O'Connor and directed by Kevin Bray. It aired on CBS in the United States and on CTV in Canada on February 3, 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 Root head to a small town where Shaw may have been seen but realize that the town is part of a big experiment by Samaritan. Meanwhile, Fusco handles a new number with Officer Silva. The title refers to "Missing in action", a casualty classification assigned to combatants, military chaplains, combat medics, and prisoners of war who are reported missing during wartime or ceasefire. According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 9.28 million household viewers and gained 1.4/5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received highly positive reviews, with critics praising the performances (particularly Amy Acker) and ending. Plot Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Root (Amy Acker) go to Maple, New York to find a possible lead on Shaw's location. After a talk with Chief Wicker, they kidnap him after he sexually harasses Root and to get information on a truck that may have transported Shaw but Wicker reveals nothing.

Notable quotes

“I saw firsthand where the music we made ended up. It turned up in sterile bullshit clubs in LA, separated from the spirit we made it in.”
— Quote on her decision to ditch party music on /\/\ /\ Y /\ reprinted in NME (2010)
“I feel like I'm a fucking infomercial for issues around the world this year. I don’t want it to be like that though. I feel like for the first time I'm truly falling in love with music in its own right.”
— Quote on her political importance reprinted in NME (2010)
“I'm not sure, but music now should be like sonic massage. You want to really feel it, internally. The police [sic] use sound cannons at public protests that explode people’s insides with a single note – human beings have to come up with the opposite of that.”
— Quote from interview with NME (2010)
“The Third World deserves freedom of speech just like everyone else. We want to fight the battle to say what we want, whether to be serious or just make fun of ourselves. That's what "Worldtown" is about, that's what "Paper Planes" is about. It's what people in the third world live through.”
— Quote reprinted in NME
“He asked my mum, 'Why would I devote myself to one woman and three children when I could be helping thousands?' She said: 'If you even have to ask that, you should go.'One of those times, when he came home, he didn't even know what I was called.”
— Interview, quote on her father to The Observer (2010)
“I can sing about songs with gunshots in the background because I heard them. It's almost like my music has been a way to smoke out the hatred that's been bubbling underneath what's going on in Sri Lanka. If there's 300,000 people who are trapped and they're dying, it should be talked about, it should be brought to the table, and I don't see anything wrong in sticking up for 300,000 dying people.”
