Person Of Interest | Alternate Ending 

This was one of the most intelligent tv shows I have ever seen. I will miss it very much.

machine : i've seen 14 milion of possible outcome Resee: how many do we win? machine : one

after sobbing over the real ending and being depressed about it for HOURS, i stumbled upon this. thank you for this sprinkle of hope, so beautifully done. i wish they would bring back person of interest, it is seriously the most phenomenal show i’ve ever watched.

Miss this damn good show. Reese was John Wick before John Wick.

That little "1" gave me the goosebumps!!

for a sec I thought this was original footage, i was even browsing wiki to see if series had any alternative ending....flawless editing

This is the only fan video I have ever seen that struck me as a truly masterful addition to the original work. It's the smallest change, but it resonates more with the style and patterns in the show than the actual ending. Great work.

Bring the damn show back! --And we WANT the WHOLE CREW, include Root and Reese!!!!

Just wanted to say how truly grateful I am for all the positive feedback. THANK YOU for entrusting me with a bit of your time and feeling it was worth it! Really happy the video is being enjoyed :)

THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT 'FAN' VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN.

I wish this series would continue. I love this show .

I've watched this show, in completion, about 12 times. It's so masterfully written.

I'm not usually one for fan-made alternate endings and such, perhaps because in a lot of cases they just slice up scenes to make new dialogue but yours... this was incredible. And I appreciated the work you put into all the little details, this seems so well done I wish POI would help push it out into the world. Really, incredible job

2019 and this series is still one of my most recommended shows...i truly love the characters...

Person of interest is a show that will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I recently rewatched it in its entirety for the third time. I think the reason I loved it so much was the fact that it felt so very real in how it handled itself. Moments were sad for the right reasons, for one. Finch and Reese have tragic pasts not because of some generic "someone they loved was murdered," but for things that feel like they could happen in reality and would believably break somebody. Finch, for example, became the greatest hacker not out of greed or lust for power, but because he wanted to care for his father. He built the Machine to try and save lives, and designed it meticulously in order to prevent abuse. Reese lost all of his family at a young age and devoted himself to his country. He sacrificed his own feelings for Jessica in the hopes of saving her the trouble of grieving him, and yet she died and he was the one left wounded after his government betrayed him. That, and the world of surveillance that's painted feels a little too realistic. It's terrifying to think that something like the Machine vs. Samaritan could be happening right now, and none of us know about it. I didn't hate the ending by any means - the deaths make sense and, while they are still tragic, aren't unjustified. Root died protecting the man who put her on the path of light, and was immortalized as the Machine's interface. That in itself is just incredible to see, and you know that she would be happy with such a fate. John died protecting the man who saved him from himself, and managed to come to terms with the fact that he simply can't live without a purpose. He dies serving something greater than himself, as a true hero. Compared to the suicide he planned at the very beginning, that's a huge step up. The variations of the world without the Machine were probably my favorite part. Things were different, but not necessarily better or worse. John was dead, but Nathan lived. Finch didn't have any moral repercussions, but never met Grace. Carter lived, but Fusco remained dirty. Shaw's partner Kohl survived and she kept her job, but Root joined the dark side. The ending was quite good, just sadder than many have liked. Sorry for the ramble, I just love this show too much to let it go without typing something up about it. This was a beautiful fan work, perfectly edited and perfectly vague. I think that it would have been better if this was merely a bridge between the end of season 5 and the actual, death-free conflict, but the ambiguity does do a good job in it's place. The "1" outcome is an awesome little detail, and the quotes you chose to play in the background were all extremely well placed. "Intro" by the XX at the end was also quite fitting. Given what you had to work with, this is truly exceptional. It does a great job contrasting with the sadness I've felt from the original ending, so I thank you for that. Great work, this was really cool to see and think about.

Probably nobody is reading this, but, Finch, Sameen and Fusco survived. The Machine was reinstalling back its juice, so, the series should obviously continue. This show was brilliant! Don’t let it die. 👨🏻‍💻

Did you really edit this? If so, congratulations. You are a primary asset.

I feel like this would have been EXACTLY what they would have done had they been given the extra/normal amount of episodes. They'd have had us ALL panicking that our faves died, and then done this- reveal it was a simulation, and then have Her find that single version that kept them alive and have them go through that. Would've taken some great writing to think of the ONE single alteration that would have saved them.

5:49 Endgame before there was Endgame...

I actually really liked this version better. As I watched the aired finale, I thought something like this would happen because I couldn't imagine the Machine letting Root die. Thank you for taking the time to make it. ❤️

I know the ending was written in a way that was supposed to be an intelligent and thoughtful ending for Reese, but I still don't feel that Root and John needed to die. I also love the parables that liken each character to Chess pieces; the Machine being King, Root being Queen, Shaw and Reese are the rooks and Harold and Carter are bishops, inflexible but in the right circumstances and employed correctly a very deadly and powerful piece. I prefer the idea that the "real" ending was a simulation, and that the Machine found a way to keep them all alive and still defeated Samaritan in the process.

I''ve watched the whole show over and over again (got the DVDs) and at the end, there's that inevitable single tear after the Machine is uploaded to that satellite. That being said, this alternate ending is so masterful and I'm sure it's one we fans would have liked. Thanks for posting it.

Its May 2021 .... Just finished the last season...how did I never stumbled upon this show before?,only god knows.. now that I've been through this masterpiece ... I take the privilege to resonate with the vibes of all who loved this show to its core... Its not just a SciFi fiction but a philosophically rich and moral based piece of art.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This show deserves a season finale... 🙏🏼 Please consider producers 🙏🏼

Best Ending. Official ending was A) too abrupt, and B) too damned sad (Reese & Root didn't have to die). I like your simulation idea as it holds thematically with established plot devices from the show.

I will now consider this the real ending of the series, since they're not bringing it back, and it ended too suddenly for a proper ending. Thank you, you've done a great work here!

Very good editing. Definitely one possible ending.

The Machine was right in the end: they are NOT interchangeable ... which is why it would be a cast-iron bitch to try to recreate this series with new participants. The powerful chemistry evinced by the cast of _Person of Interest_ makes for one of the most amazing and entertaining ensembles I have ever seen ... PERIOD.

The whole season 6 could have been just another freaking simulation. This could be the starting point of a seventh season, where they all work as hard as they can and beat Samaritan together in one pieace. This could be a way of returning the show back to the whole cast, including Elias. The most intelligent show I've ever watched, with the most impecable cast. There's just sooo much potential to it still nowadays.

I’m late to this show, but oh my god this is the ending I’ve been longing for months now :(( this was edited so beautifully, thank you for this closure to the series

Never thought the philosophy would be so high in a tv show of technological warfare.

I know the writers had to rush together an ending when they found out they wouldn’t get another season. This probably was the ending they would have lead up to, but I refuse to accept that they’d really kill John off in the end. That’s his reward? That’s his ending after everything? I really thought John’s whole arc was about finding a reason and purpose to live again. Maybe if PoI got that next season it would have built up to his sacrifice in a better way.

Amazing. POI have left me speechless, and bring it to an end breaks my heart. However your edited have gave me so hope. This idea is great and I think if it was to be used, it would work out really well. I really hope POI might be rebooted in the future.

“How many did you see?” “Fourteen million, six hundred and five” “How many did we win?” “One”

No series touched me as deeply as PoI. 5 times I look and hardly find distracting elements of sci fi. Every time I see new aspects of life philosophy. Thank You Johnatan Nolan for the thoughtful content of this story about people. The casting and acting are amazing, the direction and camera are excellent. Great work! I would like to see sequel, but I understand that time has passed and it couldn't be better.

you made this??? its INSANELY well done i got goosebumps, i got hyped, i wanted to see more, it was perfect i looked and didnt find anything, pls give me more somehow damn those feels hit me rly hard thank you and i cant emphasize enough how well and convincing this all is done

Never has an edit made me happier than this right now. Amazing work. I felt so many old emotions run through me when the 0 turned into a 1. This show will never be forgotten. Outstanding characters, plot, scenes and so on. In my mind I know the original ending is the real one and that the ultimate sacrifice definitely had to be payed but in my heart your ending will always be a safe keeper of hope, something to ease the pain, something to keep the memories alive. Thank you👏

Absolutely loved POI. Best series ever!!

I absolutely loved the ending of PoI... but this is beautiful stuff. You've really captured the essence of the show, just as much as the 'real' ending did. Wonderful work. This should be an extra on the official season 5 DVD! Well DONE.

This is now my headcanon ending. Amazing choice on Xx Intro for the ending song, and that simulation calculator turning from 0 vs eleventy billion to 1, just 1.... chills, bro. Well done.

Even on my deathbed I will genuinely believe that this is the intended ending because it would have allowed the writers to pick it up again, if POI were to be renewed.

Rewatching the show in lockdown and finding this, this alternate ending gave me peace and closure with the show, wow

Damn! For a fan edit, this was amazingly done. Truth be told, seeing that the last few episodes could possibly have been a simulation, and both Reese and Root could still be alive, almost brought me to tears. You have no idea how much I want them to be alive. 😢

I so much want this series to be back

Just found this, and I have to say I am a more than a little emotional after watching it, especially that final scene. Bravo sir or madam, bravo.

I'm kind of glad the alternate ending didn't have an actual ending, it was just the fact that the best option, was unfortunately the ending.

It's 2019 and still missing that TV Show :(

When this show ended, I felt like I had just lost my best friends. I just finished binge-watching the whole show and then I found this. I'll pretend the ending was just another simulation on Shaw's brain and this is how it actually ended. 1 for the machine!!

Thank you so much for this man... I just finished the series... I am very late I know... but this is one of the best things I have seen in 2020... this was needed... I will always miss this show!

That one win gets me every time. LONG LIVE PERSON OF INTEREST!

Wow. The song that starts at 5:23 is awesome. Perfect for the rest of the clip. And the part where they all meet under the bridge is probably my favorite scene, too, so music matched to video is absolutely perfect. Thanks! I really enjoyed watching these 800-plus video clips. I had never heard of PoI before, so this was a real treat. Amazing to read people's comments and see how emotionally invested they got in the show. Thank you all for posting all these clips!!

I miss this show so much. Thanks for the alternate ending! I choose to believe in this ending.

I got to say I like this more than the actual ending. I love the sense of hope it left me. Made me want to cry which is a feeling I see other commenters have shared when seeing your video. Good job.

Very nice. Thank you. I just finished watching the whole series for the 4th time. I love your ending.

This was beautiful, thanks for you effort in this.

I watched this show a long time ago but I never thought this would hit me so hard. It brought back all the emotions. Definitely one of the best shows ever made and this is one of the best if not the best fan made videos for this show. Really masterful work. Hats off to you sir.

It's amazing that the editor made just a simple change narratively but it does so much for the ending. How I wish this was the ending of POI and kudos to you @Wishful Attempts!

This is one of the best fan edits ever done for a TV show!!

with your Ending im feeling quite better now... Thank you so much for giving me a Happy End for POI

I sort of relive the moments when the theme starts. It's become the best show I've ever watched and a video as this gives me no choice. This ending would mean a lot to the fans. Thank you for this. Flawless edits ♥️

I'm not gonna lie. I really fucking love this idea. Your a genius I would love for this to become a thing really I do.

Very, very nice. Really hopefully, really beautiful. Thanks for doing this. I started to crying again. :'(

Just about the best series I've ever seen and I will continue to cling onto hope that it will come back. Meanwhile, thank you, "Wishful Attempts" for making this alternate ending. It's absolutely amazing! 🌹

Just finished watching all series. For me, this is the true ending. Great editing!

OMG!!! i love this editing!!!! im so excited when i saw the 1 positive outcome occurred. the editing seems to be so true

Miss this show so much! Can’t be replaced.

Excellent video! Years later ... Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange runs through 14 million possible futures for one Avengers victory scenario. The Machine is run through 10 Billion strategies to get one elusive victory. I'd say Doctor Strange didn't look hard enough. "There are no measurements in infinity. You humans have got such limited little minds." The Doctor

This show sets the standard for the 21st century.

I was really sad after the series ended. This made me feel a lot better. Thank you for this.

I love this series so much, I've just started to watch it all over again!

I've rewatched this show many times... and this ABSOLUTELY should have been the ending. Holy amazing. Incredible work.

Only add about 4 mins of already-been-there footage, you just made the show end perfectly. In 2021, we believe Person of Interest based on the True Event

This was masterfully edited and a great idea for an ending that really fits with the style of The Machine and the show. Excellent work.

thank you thank you thank you! this made me very happy, I'm glad that I can see everyone is alive ,this is the ending I'm asking for! awesome work！

thank you for making this. don't know how many more tears i have left in me. really great job.

Just finished the show yesterday and this is a very good edit.

Its April 2024 and i just finished my third rewatch of POI, still one of my favourite shows of all time. This edit makes me so emotional too 😭

Ok im so laaaate to comment but I will anyways. That editing was so freaking perfect that I cried at 11pm. I really thing this should be the ending! All life matters! So awesomeee 😭😭😭😭😭

She was a great edition to the team in general and the series as a whole

So well done that I actually didn’t even notice it was a fan edit until the comments…

Thanks for this posting. I binge watched the entire POI run ten times before having to set it aside. Absolutely the best series I have ever wstched on tv. It got better every season and the three part conclusion of Season 5 was the most moving summation of what it means to be human. Time for another ninge watch. A symphony that builds and builds...

Thank you very much mate. I cried. I cried like a bitch.

Amazing show with an incredible cast.

After watching and rewatching this series many times, I discovered this clip on YT. I really enjoyed this ending. I like how in this ending, the 1 win, out of all those simulations, the machine only considered it a win; when all of them live. It fits so well with the episode, Root Path, where Root realizes the extent the Machine will go to save people.

Now that AI it's so trendy, I really, really, have another small hope for this show to go on. Thank you for your amazing video btw

This video is how dreams come true feels like. Ever since the show ended that way, I've been dreaming about the whole thing being just another simulation, like the machine has done for innumerous times. There has to be a positive outcome, one that everyone gets out of it alive. I think I would never be able recover from root's death, along with this unbearablly hasty ending. This show conveys so much and represents so much that it deserves to be long-running. I dream of the slightest chance of the show's returning. Thank you for giving me this 6:15 minutes of hope and tears, it means so much!

I love this show and the cast, crew and characters of this show. Flawless victory in every way. I especially loved how Root became on of the good ones, I knew her character deserved much better. All the actors did an excellent job. Everyone was awesome and missed.

The best possible ending. Great work!

Wow, this is so well made, I am truly in awe!

It's almost 2021, and I'm still crying a river watching this , maybe for the 89th time! :')

Finished this series last night for the first time. Was SO unsatisfied with Reese going down like he did. This will help me sleep better tonight. Amazing Edit. That "1" made my heart jump!!!

I hope somehow somewhere the shows producers writers and cast saw this and smiled. This is excellently done! :)

Now this, this right here is art. Thanks for your time in making this. ❤️

This was beautiful. Thabk you for this!

Only recently finished watching POI. Binged it on Netflix :) Your ending was amazing....truly a job well done :)

I still can’t get over this program being taken off air, please bring it BACK

I never comment a thing, but this video was amazing, finished the series after 20 days of binging and i loved it. Ending was sad but this was what we all were ROOTing for hehe. thanks

Each and every dialogue has deep meaning and lessons to the human race.

Although I enjoyed this, it played with my emotions 😭😭

The edit literally gave me chills ! 💯🙌

How is that possible this awesome video before. Thank you for reminding me this awesome series.
