Episode Description
ABOUT THE FILM
Terrance Dyer is a veteran of the war in Iraq, a self-proclaimed
American Patriot and seasoned combat fighter, now living underground
in the streets of Seattle, and fighting an equally hair-trigger battle
with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Led by an acute sense of paranoia, Terrance
becomes convinced that the federal government is setting him up as the fall guy in a soonto-
be terrorist attack on American soil, yet his reactions to the paranoia unmistakably
parallel that of a would-be terrorist.
After finding connection with a young journalist looking to tell his story, Terrance sinks
rapidly into a heightened sense of morality and betrayal leading him inevitably toward
violence. At once controversial and definitive, vehemently proactive, and overwhelmingly
relevant in a political climate charged with uncertainties, Person of Interest gives voice to a
disenfranchised generation of soldiers, while bravely prodding at the seams of homegrown
terrorism in the United States.
