'Person of Interest' Season 5 Spoilers: Are Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson "Unethical" In 2016?

Season 5 of Person of Interest will return to CBS in 2016. In the upcoming 13 episodes, will John Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) have to make the Machine "unethical" in order to fight back against Samaritan?

In our fourth season finale recap, the war between the Machine and Samaritan left casualties and forged new alliances in its wake. After presumed dead, Sameen Shaw (Sarah Shahi) was last seen walking away willingly with Samaritan's agents. While Samaritan was executing its master plan, Greer's men put a bag over Control (Camryn Manheim)'s head and took her hostage. In the cliff-hanger, as Pink Floyd's Welcome to the Machine started playing, Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) walked out, with no gun, alongside Reese (Caviezel) and Root (Amy Acker) as they started shooting down Samaritan's agents.

In an interview with TV Line, Acker reveals Finch and Root will be at odds, "Root is still [The Machine's] No. 1 champion, so she is trying to convince Harold that we should maybe make some 'modifications' while we're rebuilding Her."

Creator and showrunner Jonathan Nolan (Memento) adds, "What's great fun about the early episodes is watching the two of them argue about, if they can adjust The Machine's secret formula, should they? Given that the stakes are higher and time is running out for them, what are the ethics in changing your strategy?"

We perviously mentioned, the cast and crew are among this year's honorees at the People's Choice Awards. Person of Interest is nominated for Favorite TV Crime Drama and the Passion of the Christ actor has earned himself a nod too for Favorite Crime Drama TV Actor.
