"Nothing to Hide" is an episode of "Person of Interest", where the owner of a website used to locate people based on the information available in Internet is the target. People generally expose their lives in social media and the man uses this type of information in his company. However, he has no care with the information and now someone is trying to destroy him. This episode is another good warning about the excessive exposition of the personal life in Internet. Bear is not the same anymore. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Nothing to Hide"

Love the show, I am perplexed as to why it is having such a hard time to get a solid following. OK, well maybe with the direction the show took the past couple of years, maybe. Anyway, I have just watched this episode, Nothing to Hide, as a re-run and I paid particular attention to how Mr. Kruger escaped the safe house with Bear there. It didn't show that specifically, only eluded to the fact, that Bear did not let him leave without a fight, as slight as it may have been. With that being said, I have worked with Military K-9 teams (which according to the story line, that is Bear's back story) and I can assure you that this man would not have left unharmed (by Bear) and that Bear would still be alive and well. I realize this is Hollywood, but I think you just stepped into the realm of a Disney fairytale.
