Person of Interest Season 2 Promo: More Chatting with the Machine

The first season of CBS's crime procedural Person of Interest ended on a very intriguing note. Following the kidnaping of Finch (Michael Emerson) by rival hacker Root (Amy Acker), Reese (Jim Caviezel) looked up into a security camera and addressed the Machine directly -- and it appeared to respond. 

A new teaser just released for Person of Interest's second season appears to confirm that the Machine is, to a degree, sentient. Two people address the Machine within the twenty-second promo. One of them is Finch, telling the Machine, "Your job is to protect everyone." 

The second features Reese addressing the Machine through a street camera, much as he did in the season 1 finale. "You give me a way to find him," he says, as the week's person of interest (played by guest star Ken Leung) looks on, anxious and confused. 

The twenty-second promo is pretty meaty, showing Reese seeking out Detective Carter's help in finding Finch, as well as Reese getting in some pretty awesome fights. One's in a bar, with a confused-looking Ken Leung sitting across from him as he takes down another guy at the table (we'd be confused too, Ken). The other fight isn't so much of a fight as it is Reese simply taking down a motorcyclist with a gas tank to the head. Awesome. 

What do you think of the new promo? Pretty awesome, right? Are you excited for the new season of Person of Interest? 

The season 2 premiere, "The Contingency," will air September 27 on CBS.
