š“ Script 6:10 The Cryptobanker (ā 160)
Brief (Where weāre at): The jury is in. Lizās father Raymond Reddington was not a traitor to the United States but rather was framed by Lizās mother, Katarina Rostova, when he found out that, not only was she a KGB officer who had been sent to seduce him, but that her true handlers belonged to the Cabal. To discredit him, she planted a communiquĆ© for US intelligence to discover blaming Reddington for the sinking of a US submarine which resulted in the deaths of over 100 men in 1990. Redās acquittal was secured when the Task Force retrieved from the archives of Jordan Loving (Minister D, Blacklister #99), a tape recording between Katarina and Cabal leader Alan Fitch describing the plot.
Of course, the āRedā who was on trial is not the real āRaymond Reddington,ā as Liz had recently told Ressler who was called as a witness at the trial. He perjured himself by identifying Red as Raymond Reddington while under oath. But he hesitated, raising suspicions in Redās mind about just what Ressler knows.
Meanwhile, Dembe got hold of the recording of the 911 call that resulted in Redās arrest. A homeless woman made the call for $100. When she could not identify Liz from a photo as the person who asked her to make the call, Dembe figured out it must have been Jennifer working with Liz. He confronted Liz and she begged him not to tell Red, which he did not do when meeting with Red later.
Though acquitted of treason, Red remains behind bars on other charges. His plan to earn his freedom began when he obtained the tracking list from the files of General Shiro (Blacklister #116) which provided an address in London. Dembe went to London and returned with photocopies of files.

[ Matt Pierson watches his daughter Jamie play soccer. At the same time he talks business on his cell phone ] [ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ] [ CROWD CHEERING ]
Matt Pierson: [ To Jamie ] Yes! ā Way to go, Jamie!
Jamie: Thanks, Dad!
Pierson: No, yeah, Iām open to the idea of a different distributor, but not increasing the specs for the batteries themselves. [ BEEPING ] Oh, hold on. Iām getting another call. [ BEEPS ] Hey, this is Matt.
Oleg Gromov: [ Heavy Russian accent ] Hello, Matt. I need you to listen. What I am about to tell you is very important.
Pierson: [ SCOFFS ] Is this aā Who is this?
Gromov: First, I need you to understand the degree of control I have. Keep your eyes on your daughter. You and I both understand she is vulnerable. I have the ability to exploit that fact.
Pierson: Jamie.
Jamie: Aah! [ GROANING ]
[ Jamie collapses, clutching her heart ]
Pierson: Jamie!
[ Pierson runs to Jamieās side ]
Coach: Girls, take a knee.
Pierson: Whatās wrong? Honey, talk to me.
Gromov: Itās quite simple, Matt. Iāve taken control of your daughterās pacemaker and instructed her SA node to trigger a 3rd degree AV block. Her heartās electrical signals have turned off.
Pierson: Please, stop. Why are you doing this?
Gromov: Quiet, Matt. Now Iām going to give you some very specific instructions. I want you to do exactly as I say. Are you ready, Matt?
Pierson: Yes.
Gromov: You are going to liquidate a few assets for me. Start with your Union Bank pension and your shares in the company stock. Do you hear me?
Pierson: Yes, Union Bank, company stock. Just, please, Iām begging you, stop.
Gromov: Please donāt tell anyone we spoke, Matt. Talk to the authorities and Jamie pays the price. I will be in touch. Until then, your daughter can have her heart back.
Jamie: [ INHALES DEEPLY ]
Coach: Is she okay?
Woman: Do you want some water?
Woman #2: Way to go, honey.
āā
[ Gromov sits in a darkened room with computer monitors on all sides ]
[ HEADSET CLATTERS ] [ DIALING ]
Gromov: Iām into a new deal. Itās huge. After this, Iām buying an island.
Cryptobanker: When should I anticipate the transfer?
Gromov: End of day tomorrow. Weāre talking $3 million. Can you handle that?
Cryptobanker: Itās complicated, but itās viable. Contact me when youāve got the crypto.
[ CELLPHONE CLICKS ]
Gromov: Yes! Whoo!
Ā
[ Outside Colton Prison BIRD CAWS ]
[ In the dining room, Vontae and Vega sit down with their trays across from Red ]
Vontae: Is it true youāre dodging the warden? Please tell me itās not true.
Red: If the warden needs to talk, he can come find me. He knows where I am.
Vega: Word is the laundry crew is planning to strike.
Red: I have much larger concerns than Warden Macatee and his laundry crew. The government is more intent than ever to stick a needle in my arm for any number of other crimes Iāve committed. An eventuality I have no intention of waiting around for.
Vontae: Man, are you in the wrong place. All we do here is wait.
Red: Yes. Which is why Iām leaving.
Vega: Leaving? Are youā Youāre not seriously thinking about breaking out?
Red: Yes.
Vontae: Okay, that is a bad idea.
Red: Itās a seedling of an idea. Itās immature at this point, but we have two months to help it grow.
Vontae: We? [ SCOFFS ] Yeah, that is not happening.
Red: Not yet. But it will.
Ā
[ Colton Prison Visitors Area ]
Liz: You want me to make a dinner reservation for you? ā In Chicago?
Red: Yes. At Gene & Georgettiās. I have an insatiable craving for their Beef en Brochette, or the Chicken alla Joe. Maybe both.
Liz: Have you read the indictment? There are 16 counts, ranging from money laundering to murder.
Red: The judge calendared eight weeks for the trial. So, to be safe, make the reservation for the following week.
Liz: How can you be so confident?
Red: Iāll take care of the trial. You take care of what comes after.
Liz: Your beef brochette.
Red: My immunity agreement.
Liz: [ SCOFFS, sing-songy ] You are full of fantasies today.
Red: Iāve uncovered a conspiracy. One that I know is deadly and is aimed at the halls of power. But I donāt know why or when itāll strike. And I wonāt until you catch the man known as the Cryptobanker.
Liz: And when you know, you wonāt say until they reinstate your immunity agreement.
Red: As Hippocrates believed, ādesperate times call for desperate measures.ā
Liz: Iām pretty sure he also said āfirst do no harm.ā
Red: Yes, well, one aphorism at a time.
Liz: Tell me about the Cryptobanker.
Ā
[ At the Post Office, Liz briefs the Task Force ]
Liz: A drug cartel spends $70 million on airplanes. A Serbian sex trafficker drops $40 million on ships to smuggle victims across the Mediterranean. How did the people brokering these deals keep them hidden? They took payment in Bitcoin.
Aram: Illegal activity accounts for half of all Bitcoin transactions. 36 million annual transactions with a value of approximately $72 billion.
Liz: And where do they go to launder their ill-gotten Bitcoin gains? To a man known as the Cryptobanker.
āā
[ The Cryptobanker walks up behind Nervous Banker in at a crosswalk ]
Cryptobanker: I need you to clean three.
Nervous Banker: What?! We agreed installments wouldnāt exceed two.
Cryptobanker: We agreed youād be compensated on a sliding scale. I canāt imagine Beth and the girls want to move off Park Avenue. The number is three. Make it work.
āā
Liz: All Reddington knows is that the Cryptobanker is in town. So we reached out to the Bureauās Virtual Currency Initiative, looking for someone local trafficking in Bitcoin, and one name stood out a hacker known as the RAT.
Aram: Itās an abbreviation for āRemote Access Trojansā malware that allows the user to lock companies out of their own servers. The hacker then demands a ransom and unlocks the server once itās paid.
Ressler: In Bitcoin that the Cryptobanker helps to launder.
Samar: We find the RAT, we find the Cryptobanker?
Cooper: And the RATās latest target?
Liz: The leading manufacturer of pacemakers, called Pierson Diagnostics.
Ā
[ Samar and Ressler visit Matt Pierson at his pacemaker company Pierson Diagnostics ]
Pierson: You shouldnāt be here. I canāt talk to you.
Samar: Mr. Pierson, many victims of extortion keep quiet for fear of retribution. We understand that itās a risk for you to trust us.
Ressler: We also know that youāve liquidated millions in assets. Now, we contacted the SECās Cyber Unit and traced those assets using the blockchain. Youāve purchased a large amount of Bitcoin.
Samar: That canāt be a coincidence. Youāre being leveraged.
Pierson: Jamie was born premature, with a heart arrhythmia. She was so tiny at the time, there were no devices on the market that could help her, so I made one. I made this company so that she could lead a normal life.
Ressler: Your daughter is in danger.
Pierson: He has control of her pacemaker. Heād hacked the software somehow. He says that heāll that heāll kill her if I donāt pay.
Samar: The device. Are you able to disable the malware?
Pierson: He says heās watching me, that if I attempt to manipulate the software in any way or go to the police, heāll trigger it.
Samar: We have people who can figure out how he gained access to the pacemaker. Perhaps we can defuse the threat and keep your daughter out of harmās way. Will you at least listen to what we have in mind?
Ā
[ The courtroom. A new jury has been seated ]
Judge Roberta Wilkins: Serving as a juror in a high-profile case is never easy, and this case will be no exception. Before opening arguments, I want to thank you for your service. Mr. Sima, the floor is yours.
Asst US Atty Michael Sima: Ladies and gentlemen, Raymond Reddington has been a fugitive from justice for more than 25 years. Or so we thought. In fact, for the past five yearsā
Red: Objection!
Sima: āthe most wanted man in America has had a secret immunity agreementā
Red: Your Honorā
Sima: āwith the very people sworn to bring him in.
Red: āis this even remotely acceptable to you?
Judge Wilkins: Iāll give you my answer after I clear the courtroom. Bailiff?
āā
Judge Wilkins: Correct me if Iām wrong, Mr. Sima, but I distinctly recall the government wanting to keep the immunity agreement secret. What changed your mind? Is this your way to force a plea agreement? Trade execution for life in prison?
Sima: Absolutely not. Thereās no deal on the table.
Red: [ CHUCKLING ] Come on. Theyāre fitting me for a Snitch Jacket š [See Note], so even their incompetence wonāt save me. On the off chance they win, I die in prison. In the likely event they lose,
I die on the street.
Sima: We have the legal right to disclose the agreement.
Red: You also have a moral obligation not to.
Sima: I couldnāt be less interested in your views on morality.
Judge Wilkins: Then maybe I could interest you in mine. Disclosing Mr. Reddingtonās cooperation is like imposing the death penalty by fiat. Plus which, it sends a chilling message to any future confidential informant. This case is national news. If the governmentās decision to sell out an informant goes viral, no one will want to cooperate. Mr. Reddington is on trial here, not the Task Force he works with.
Sima: As far as Iām concerned, theyāre co-conspiratorsā
Red: [ SCOFFS ]
Sima: āwho aided and abetted his criminal activity.
Red: Co-conspirators? These people are brave, honorable public servants. Mr. Sima may be content with a scorched-earth policy that would burn them in order to burn me. I can only hope that youāre not.
Judge Wilkins: Iām not okay with it. But youāve got no constitutional right to keep your immunity agreement secret, so I canāt keep the government from introducing it. It may be contemptible, but thereās nothing I can do to stop it.
Ā
[ Matt Piersonās Mercedes wagon pulls up to a gated community ] [ MACHINERY WHIRRING, GATE CREAKS ] [ BIRDS CHIRPING ]
[ The vehicle pulls into the garage of a large home. He gets out and opens the back door of the vehicle. Aram is crouched inside with a roll of wire fencing material ]
Aram: Did you check the street?
Pierson: I didnāt see anything. But that doesnāt mean that this is a good idea.
Aram: Itās gonna be awesome.
Ā
[ Inside Jamie Piersonās bedroom, Pierson and Aram have begun constructing a wire cage around Jamieās bed ]
Jamie: Dad, what are you doing?
Aram: Oh, you, uh you must be Jamie.
Pierson: Honey, weāre building, uh, something called aā
Aram: Called a a Faraday cage. Iām so sorry we havenāt met. Iām Agent Mojtabai. You can, uh- you can call me Aram. This is a super cool room.
Jamie: Not anymore.
Aram: Right, yeah. Sorry about that. I promise Iāll help fix everything up when weāre done. Maybe you could, uhā you could get some fun wallpaper?
Jamie: I donāt want wallpaper.
Pierson: Honey, this is important. We need to do this.
Jamie: Whatās a Faraday cage?
Aram: Well, itās sort of like a force field, uh, created by a man named Michael Faraday.
Jamie: Was he a superhero? Because only superheroes have force fields.
Aram: He was, uh, kind of. A, uhā a scientific superhero.
Jamie: I can name six superheroes who have force fields. Iron Man, Susan Storm, Apocalypse, Banshee, Green Lantern, and Violet Parr.
Aram: Actually, uh, Banshee doesnāt really have a force fieldā
Jamie: When he screams, people back off.
Aram: TouchƩ.
Jamie: Will this force field keep him from messing with this? [ Pats her heart ]
Aram: In here, it will. Thatās why weāre building it. So youāll be safe.
Jamie: Cool. Can I help?
Aram: Sure. If, uh, your dadās all right with it.
Pierson: Hey.
Aram: Okay. Well, here grab yourself a handful of zip ties and, uh, letās get to work.
Ā
[ Red is writing something in his cell at Colton Prison ]
Red: Thereās been a change of plans. Iām moving up the timeline of my impending escape.
Vontae: Moving up to when?
Red: Thursday at 4:00.
Vega: Thursday? Like tomorrow Thursday?
Red: āAt 4:00.
Vontae: Hold up. You said you had eight weeks.
Red: I said we had eight weeks. Now we donāt. The government has changed its strategy, so Iām changing mine.
Vontae: No, no. You said all you had was a āseedlingā and that it was āimmature.ā
Red: Vontae, I have until tomorrow. At 4:00. Hereās a āhoneydoā list to do while Iām in court.
Vontae: [ Reads ] A quarter pound of ground chuck, 3 ounces of bleach, same amount of paint or nail polish removerā
Vega: [ Reads the rest ] Rubber cement, hair clippings from the prison barber? What the hell?
What about the warden?
Red: What about the warden?
Vontae: Look, the laundry boys are ready to walk, okay? Heās got a problem on his hands. Maybe if you help him, heāll pull a few strings, help you.
Red: Oh, heās gonna do much more than that.
Vontae: You and the warden. What?
Red: Letās start with the items on the list.
Vontae: [ Sighs ] Okay.
[ Vontae and Vega leave ] [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN DISTANCE ]
Ā
Judge Wilkins: Iām told you wanted a word before I bring out the jury.
Red: To petition the court not to let Mr. Sima put the Task Force on trial.
Judge Wilkins: If thatās how he intends on trying his case, ā I canāt stop him.
Red: Very well. Then I must. Iāll plead guilty. On all counts. But only if Mr. Sima agrees to instruct the jury that he was mistaken about the existence of an immunity agreement.
Sima: You want me to lie in court?
Red: Yes. It plays to your strengths.
Judge Wilkins: Take the win, Mr. Sima. Mr. Reddington, is your guilty plea based, at least in part, on the fact that you are guilty of the crimes you intend to admit?
Red: It is.
Judge Wilkins: If I accept your guilty plea, you give up the right to appeal your conviction and the right to appeal your sentence. Do you understand?
Red: I do.
Judge Wilkins: The maximum penalty for a person guilty of the crimes youāre charged with is death by lethal injection. Are you aware of that?
Red: I am.
Judge Wilkins: Has anyone done anything you think is illegal or unethical to force you to plead guilty?
Red: Other than Mr. Sima? No.
Judge Wilkins: I find your proposed guilty plea is supported by facts and that you are acting competently and voluntarily in giving up your rights. Iām prepared to accept it. Are you sure that you want me to?
Red: Yes, Your Honor, Iām sure.
Judge Wilkins: Very well. I accept the defendantās plea to the indictment and find him guilty as charged.
[ GAVEL BANGS ā”ļø ]
Ā
[ Jamieās bedroom. She is in bed as Pierson and Aram complete the Faraday cage ]
Aram: Okay, cross your fingers and toes.
[ ZIP TIE TIGHTENS ]
Aram: Okay.
[ BEEPING ~ Computer come up ]
Aram: Weāre up.
Pierson: So itās working?
Aram: How often do you push software updates to your monitoring devices?
Pierson: Uh, maybe three or four times a year.
Aram: Thatās how he got in. I mean, think about it. The devices have built-in access authority. Why not use the home monitor as a proxy for the malware program? ā Itās perfect.
[ Aram hasnāt noticed that Pierson has taken out a scalpel ]
Pierson: Okay, honey, just a little pinch.
[ Pierson cuts into Jamieās skin above the pacemaker ]
Jamie: Ow!
Aram: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?
Pierson: Disconnecting her pacemaker.
Aram: No, no. You- You canāt do that.
Pierson: Weāre offline. He has no idea.
Jamie: Ow! Dad, it hurts.
Pierson: Okay, just hold on, sweetie. Iāll be done in a second, okay?
Aram: Okay, this is a, uh, this is a really bad idea.
Pierson: Itās not. She has a simple arrhythmia. Clipping the pacing leads on the device disconnects her from her abductors.
[ He snips through two wires ]
Jamie: [ BREATHES DEEPLY ]
Ā
[ At Pierson Diagnostics ] [ Samar and Ressler walk through the room of people working at computer screens ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ] [ ELECTRICITY POWERING DOWN ]
Ressler: Excuse me. Whatās going on?
Worker: [ SCOFFS ] No clue. Weāve got redundant systems. This shouldnāt happen.
[ KEYS CLACKING ]
Ā
[ Pierson leads Jamie through the garage with Aram behind ]
Aram: Where are you going? This was not part of our plan. We agreed toā
Pierson: Taking her to a hospital. Sheāll be fine until I can get her some real help.
[ Jamie gets into the back of the Mercedes ]
Pierson: Okay, look, as far as Iām concerned, this is over.
Aram: This guy he wonāt just let you walk away.
Pierson: But he has no leverage now. I donāt really give a damn what he thinks. [ CELLPHONE RINGING ] ā Just ā [ BEEPS ] ā Hello?
[ Pierson puts his phone on speaker ]
Gromov: Hello, Matt. What happened to your daughterās pacemaker, Matt?
Pierson: I took it offline. I disconnected it. Youāre gonna have to find someone else to blackmail. Gromov: Wrong choice, Matt. All you had to do was pay the ransom. It was very simple. Unfortunately, now things get considerably more difficult.
Pierson: Wait. What do you mean āmore difficultā?
Gromov: By disobeying my instructions, you have triggered a contingency plan and given me control of your companyās system-wide files. All 200,000 patients.
āā
[ At Pierson Diagnostics, all the computer screens suddenly show Ransomware ]
āā
Pierson: No, no, no, please, listen.
Gromov: No, I think you need to listen, Matt. Iāve selected 1,000 patients at random and programmed their pacemakers to deliver a lethal shock in 24 hours. I am also increasing my price $6 million in Bitcoin. I will send you the wallet number shortly. If you choose to pay, I will send you an authentication code to unlock your system. If you donāt, a symphony of hearts falls silent at once. Your choice. I will be in touch. Good day, Matt.
[ HEADSET CLATTERS ]
Ā
[ Outside Piersonās house, Jamie waves goodbye from a gurney ]
Aram: [ On phone to Post Office ] Theyāre taking Piersonās daughter to the hospital. Sheās gonna be okay.
Samar: Thatās great, but what about the 200,000 patients who arenāt having their pacemakers taken offline?
Aram: Pierson has 24 hours to pay the ransom or the RAT says heāll kill 1,000 of them.
Cooper: Can they do that?
Aram: A pacemaker is a mini defibrillator. If the heart stops, it can deliver a jolt of electricity to restart it.
Samar: A safe jolt.
Aram: It was, until the RAT took control over the system. Now he can recalibrate the amount of electricity that gets delivered, turning a safe jolt into a lethal one.
Cooper: Get Pierson to get us a list of everyone with a Pierson Diagnostics pacemaker. Aram, I want that list on my desk within the hour.
[ BEEPS ]
Ressler: We canāt notify 200,000 people on the down low. I mean, once word of this gets out, Pierson Diagnostics is finished.
Cooper: A small price to pay to save all those at risk.
[ Liz enters and stands silently ] [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ] [ TELEPHONE RINGING IN DISTANCE ]
Samar: What is it?
Liz: Reddington pleaded guilty.
Ā
Judge Wilkins: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the defendant has pleaded guilty, so this trial will not take place. Instead, weāre moving directly to the sentencing phase. To aid in your decision, each side will be given the opportunity to present witness impact statements.
Sima: Mr. Charleston, for the record, please state your profession.
Charleston: For the past six years, Iāve served as Deputy Administrator of the ATF.
Sima: In that time, have you investigated the defendant?
Charleston: We have 24 cases that target Mr. Reddington.
Sima: Cases in which people were killed?
Charleston: 13 that we know of. But those are only the ATF cases.
āā
Sima: Meaning?
Treasury Official: Meaning Treasury ran several joint cases with the ATF in which lives were lost.
āā
Interpol Agent: Interpol has coordinated with law enforcement around the globe in an attempt to apprehend Mr. Reddington. MI6. Mossad. Russian SVR. To my knowledge, this man is wanted in every country heās set foot in.
āā
Charleston: We couldnāt catch him because he has resources everywhere ā in law enforcement, governments around the world, the private sector, the penal system. He wields a great power and influence over these men and women, loyal associates who will do whatever he asks.
āā
[ As the witnesses testify, Vontae and Vega collect the various items on Redās āhoneydoā list from places around the prison ]
āā
Charleston: I can assure you, right now, Reddington has people doing his bidding whatever that may be. Now, I donāt know who they are, but theyāre everywhere. And the only way to stop them is to stop him.
āā
Treasury Chief: Capital punishment. Like cutting out a cancer.
āā
Interpol Agent: Itās the only option.
āā
[ Vontae removes some items from inside his sock, slips them under Redās pillow and leaves Redās cell ] [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
Ā
[ Cooperās office ]
Liz: The minute the Feds threatened to take us down with him, he gave up. He pleaded guilty to protect us, and theyāre gonna kill him for it.
Cooper: Unless he has a plan. It doesnāt appear that he does, but with Reddington, appearances can be deceiving.
[ Samar and Ressler enter ]
Samar: We have a lead on the RAT.
Ressler: Aram got the company to put together a list of patients with Pierson Diagnostics pacemakers.
Samar: It turns out thereās one person on the patient list who wasnāt a patient.
Ressler: Oleg Gromov, a Russian national whoās in the country on a student visa.
Samar: We ran a trace on his cell. Heās at a cafĆ© in Georgetown.
Cooper: A patient thatās not a patient?
Ressler: Gromov bought a pacemaker but never had it installed. He also pays a monthly fee to Pierson Diagnostics to get updates for his home monitor.
Cooper: Go. See if this kid can explain why heās paying for a pacemaker service he doesnāt need.
[ Ressler leaves ]
Samar: Liz, tell Reddington, if thereās anything that we can doā
Liz: He knows. Thatās why heās done this.

[ A car pulls up into a parking lot ] [ The Cryptobanker gets in his Gromovās car with him ]
Cryptobanker: Tell me about this situation.
Gromov: Police. Feds. Iām not sure which. I donāt know why they were looking for me, but better safe than sorry.
Cryptobanker: What do they know?
Gromov: I said I donāt know. Iāll handle it. I just need you to get the transfer done right away.

[ Liz visits Red in the holding cell at the courthouse ]
Liz: Cooper thinks you have a plan.
Red: Harold is an eternal optimist.
Liz: Heās optimistic that you giving up isnāt what it appears to be.
Red: You donāt have to worry about me.
Liz: Why? Because you have a plan? Or because youāre gonna be dead soon?
Red: [ BREATHES SHARPLY, smiles sphinxlike ]
Liz: I understand witnesses youāve never even met are testifying under oath that youāre evil incarnate.
Red: Apparently Iām a moral scourge and a malignant tumor.
Liz: Iād like to present the other side.
Red: No.
Liz: Theyāre taking witness impact statements. No witness has been impacted by you more than me.
Red: It wonāt change the outcome.
Liz: I want to testify.
Red: Uh-ahā Fine. Short and to the point.
Liz: Why? Do you have somewhere you have to be?
Red: Gene & Georgettiās would be nice. Iāve decided to go with the double lamb chops instead of the Beef en Brochette, and definitely the Chicken alla Joe.
Liz: What I say might not make a difference, but it could. Why would you want me to rush through it? Unless you donāt care whatās on their minds because Cooperās right ā you have a plan.
Ā
[ The courtroom ]
Red: Agent Keen, youāre a criminal profiler, are you not?
Liz: Yes.
Red: Top of your class at Quantico?
Liz: I was 15th in a class of 200.
Red: Youāve been trained to think like a criminal.
Liz: By the very best.
Red: Profile me.
Liz: [ Long pause ] Youāre a fugitive. [ Pause ] You live a fugitiveās existence. Fleeting. Transient. Impermanent.
[ SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE ]
Liz: Almost exclusively, this is how you interact with the world in [ Pause ] short, brief, passing encounters. [ Pause ] I say āalmostā because this is not how you interact with me. With me you are enduring, permanent. The world thinks youāre bad because youāve done some terrible things. But I believe youāre good in spite of the terrible things youāve done. And I know that youāre not here today because of those terrible things. Youāre here today because of love.
āāLove brought you out of the shadows. Love put you on the street corner where you were caught. And not just the love of a father for his daughter, but the love of doing what you believe is right. And not necessarily for yourself, but [ Pause ] whatās right for the greater world around us. A world you love so much.
āā[ To the Jury ] But I canāt tell you about any of that. He pleaded guilty to prevent me from telling you about his many acts of conscience because if I did, it would be bad for me, for my career, for my reputation. To honor me, heās put himself at your mercy. And so to honor him, I have to ask you to be merciful in return.
Ā
[ Cooperās office ]
Pierson: Because of you, 1,000 people are still at risk.
Cooper:We identified the man who threatened your daughter.
Pierson: I paid the ransom but didnāt get the authentication code to unlock the servers. Why? Because you went after him.

Cooper: Cooper. Aram, youāre on speaker. [ BEEPS ]
Aram: Thereās no sign of him or his computer.
Cooper: Or a key or an authentication code ā thatāll take the malware offline?
Aram: Nothing. Only the docking station, which I assume he uses for his laptop.
Pierson: The docking station. Is there a serial number on it?
Aram: Of course. That is genius. The serial number IDs the computer and the company that made it.
Pierson: Okay. If we get it, we can access the computer through the companyās remote diagnostic software.
Aram: Which gives us an IP address as soon as the computerās turned on. I found you. The, uh the serial number, not the RAT.
Cooper: Tell SWAT to stay on-site, then get back here and set up that backdoor. The second that computerās turned on, ā I want to be able to find it.

Sima: Youāve heard testimony about the extent of the defendantās criminal empire, as well as the pain and suffering his crimes have caused.
Red: So off with his head! ā Mine, not his.
Sima: Your Honorā
Judge Wilkins: Mr. Reddington, youāll have your turn in a moment.
Red: Yes, but as I plan to echo what Mr. Sima says, I thought we might skip over him saying it.
Judge Wilkins: Heās asking for the death penalty. You plan on echoing that?
Red: I do. One trait of mine that Agent Keenās otherwise exquisite profile left out was optimism. Hope for a better tomorrow. A desert safari on the Wahiba Sands. Riding with the bagualeros in Patagonia. None of that would be possible if I were sentenced to life in prison. Thereād be nothing to hope for, and without hope, nothing to live for. Not even the joy of interrupting Mr. Sima to make his point, only pithier. As weāre all agreed I should be executed, I feel like we should wrap this up, donāt you?

Macatee: Neither of them work the laundry.
Red: But they both have worked there in the past, they have a perceptive yet pragmatic take on the issues, and both are trusted by all parties concerned. I think we should bring them in on this.

Trivia: Urban Dictionary: Snitch Jacket: āReputation for being an informant. It is used both in police jargon and street slang. It is NOT an actual jacket (as in a garment), or being beaten up (though it may result in being beaten up.) Jacket comes from the āfile jacketsā that were used by the police prior to computerization of records.
āThe phrase has part of its origins in the police interrogation tactic of threatening criminals who will not cooperate. Often the only reason a perpetrator doesnāt snitch is because he fears it will get to the street and put him in danger. Ironically police officers threaten to publicize or have correctional officers publicize that a perpetratorās ājacketā says they are an informant to get them to inform. Someone with a āsnitch jacketā is often just a willing informant obviously.ā http://bit.ly/2CbOuvf
Itās cool how timely the Blacklist cases are. It will be lost after few years that this episode aired while we are in the midst of a national discourse on witnesses in Special Counsel Robert Muellerās Russia probe choosing whether to āflipā and risk being branded a āratā or a āsnitchā in prison (e.g. Paul Manafort who didnāt vs Michael Cohen who did). Itās also noteworthy how Whitey Bulger, the man who inspired Jack Nicholsonās character in Martin Scoreseās āThe Departedā and also the character of Red, met his fate on October 30, 2018: beaten to death and left āunrecognizableā in prison, most likely for being the most notorious āsnitchā of all.
ā Donāt miss this video interview with James Spader on PBSās Amanpour&Company from 3/1/2019 about this confluence of art and the world:
Spader: The same thing would happen on another show that I worked on, āBoston Legalā where we really werenāt ripping from the headlines. And yet, again and again, Iād get a script and weād be working on something and ⦠by the time it aired, it was timely.
