š“ Script 7:14 Twamie Ullulaq (ā 126)
Brief (Where weāre at): Red had to bail out his ever-unreliable tracker Glen Carter after Glen messed up the order for a black market tritium-enriched vehicle worth $12M. The truck ended up being the prize in a contest pitting Glen against the two time winner, Pastor Ritzen. Unbeknownst to Glen, with whom Red has āa historyā and an odd co-dependence, Red was able to buy off the good pastor with a Mercedes. With another Mercedes (a snazzy sportster) given to Glen as a reward for his āwin,ā the product placement value must have beenš°pricelessš°
Meanwhile, Aramās relationship with the thrill-seeking Elodie Radcliffe took a turned when Elodieās husband Charles died. He had been paralyzed for months and unable to speak after being selected as the unlucky one at a gathering of risk-takers at a venue called Les Fleurs du Mal, hosted by one Thelonius Prackett [Episode 7:3, Blacklister #151]. Elodie and Aram had been having an affair under the shadow of Charlesās condition and Aram wants children. But, during the wake for Charles, Aram discovered the papers for a pre-nuptial agreement. Elodie had told Aram there wasnāt one. Now he knows she will inherit $12M under the agreement and wonders why she lied to him.
Liz has not given up her determination to learning about Redās past. After an FBI Contact in the Hoover Building came up short, he gave her the name of an private investigator. Liz had to dig out cash for payment from Tomās wooden āgo boxā ā the one carved with the mysterious sign resembling the scar on Lizās wrist ā for the cash for payment. She met up with the P.I. and gave her the cash and a folder on Ilya Koslov, the former KGB operative whose history with both Red and Lizās mother ~ the infamous former KGB spy Katarina Rostova ~ stretches back to the Cold War. Liz knows that Katarina, though in hiding, is still alive after having staged her own assassination to deceive Red and put him and others hunting her at bay.

Ā
[ Red and Dembe are driving a Range Rover along a highway on the southern coast of Alaska ]
Red: How long has it been since we lost contact with the driver?
Dembe: 18 hours. Any chance we will find the cargo intact?
Red: That would take incredible luck. And the only time I have ever been lucky in Alaska was when I was bumped from behind at an ice bar in Fairbanks. I stumbled into the arms of a lovely Nordic princess. Literally, she was a princess in Norway. We flew straight to her castle outside Bergen and watched the Northern Lights till dawn. Otherwise, Alaskaās shown me all the mercy of a Greek tragedy.
[ The locator on the GPS device is beeping ]
āā
[ The vehicle pulls over and they get out ]
Dembe: Strange. According to the tracker, we should be right on top of the containers.
[ They look around and see nothing. They are next to a body of water. Red scans the forested area then looks at the water. Beneath the surface are the outlines of several submerged semi-trailer trucks ]
Red: Looks like itās time to cue the Greek chorus, Dembe.
Ā
[ Red is in a commercial-style kitchen preparing salmon. Aram has come to see him ]
Aram: Elodie lied about not having a prenup. And now that her husbandās dead, she stands to inherit millions.
Red: The way you described her husbandās condition, it sounds more like a mercy killing.
Aram: Maybe, but he didnāt have a medical directive, and she couldnāt have know what was going on inside of his head.
Red: You mean like dreams and memories. Maybe even a deep and abiding love for his betrothed.
Aram: Exactly.
Red: A love so deep that he would have preferred that Elodie end his life so that she could move on with hers. If only he had the power to tell her.
Aram: No. Wait. Wait, what?
Red: How can I help you, Aram?
Aram: I want to know if Elodie killed her husband. If she did, I have to arrest her. Iām definitelyā Iām definitely breaking up with her. But I donāt really know yet, But I need to know, you know?
[ Liz enters ]
Liz: Need to know what?
Aram: Oh, umā whether Elodie killed her husband.
Liz: And you want Reddingtonās help?
Red: Get a blood sample from the body before itās buried, and Iāll have it tested, no questions asked.
Liz: Or ā crazy ideaā you could let the police investigate.
Aram: I should go and let the two of you do whatever it is you two do.
Red: Do you know why Iām preparing this salmon?
Aram: If this is about your libido, Iāmā Iām good.
Liz: W-Where are we? Why are we here?
Red: Itās for a celebratory meal when the case is solved.
Liz: And what case is that?
Red: Iāve been robbed. Trucks of mine have been stolen. Precious cargo has gone missing.
Liz: You want us to find your trucks.
Red: I found the trucks. Sunk in a lake in the Alaska Triangle.
Aram: Wait, the Triangleās real?
Red: I donāt want you to find my trucks. I want you to solve one of lifeās great mysteries.
Liz: The Alaska Triangle.
Aram: A place where some people go and never return. Supposedly 16,000 in the last 50 years.
Liz: [ Scoffs ] Okay. That canāt be true.
Red: The question isnāt whether theyāve disappeared. Itās why. Find the people who stole my trucks and you may get the answer.
Ā
[ The Post Office ] [ Liz and Aram brief the task force ]
Aram: This is former U.S. House Majority Leader Hale Boggs. Now, in 1972, his twin-engine Cessna vanished somewhere between Juneau and Anchorage. The nationās largest search-and-rescue mission was mounted. The Coast Guard, Civil Air Patrol, the Navy. All scoured the area for months, but no trace of Boggsā plane was ever found.
Liz: He was lost in a section of the state known as the Alaska Triangle.
Ressler: Like the Bermuda Triangle?
Agent Park: Yes, only real.
Liz: Whatās real about it is that an unusually large number of people do seem to disappear there.
Cooper: And this connects to Reddington how?
Liz: Four months ago, he lost a shipment in the triangle. He attached a GPS tracker to the next one and found it here.
[ Liz brings up a photo of the submerged trucks on a laptop ]
Ressler: And he thinks whoever put it there may be behind the Alaska Triangle myth.
Cooper: What was on the truck?
Liz: He wouldnāt say, but some of it has apparently shown up in Italy. Heās on his way to find out how.
Ressler: What about the drivers?
Aram: Mr. Reddington thinks they went down with the shipment.
Cooper: Do we have any leads?
Aram: The container numbers. Theyāre marked on the roof for the benefit of crane operators, so I was able to pull them from the photos.
[ Resslerās phone vibrates. A text says āTrouble.ā He clicks it off ]
Ressler: Based on those numbers, do we know where the cargo was coming from?
Park: Each truck was carrying cargo offloaded in the Port of Anchorage. Dispatching, routing, tracking, transpoā itās all coordinated by the port manager.
Cooper: Iāve heard enough. Ressler, Keen, I want you two to interview the port manager. Park, I want you to set up a liaison with your old field office.
Park: I donāt think thatās a good idea.
Cooper: Oh, and why not?
Park: Iām not real popular in Anchorage.
Cooper: Itās a good thing itās not a popularity contest.
[ Cooper leaves, as do Liz and Park ]
[ Resslerās cellphone vibrating ]
Aram: Someone really wants to talk to you.
Ressler: My brother.
Aram: Oh, you never talk about your brother.
Ressler: Exactly.
[ Cellphone beeps off ]
Ā
[ FBI field office in Anchorage ] [ Indistinct conversations ] [ Agent Park walks by cubicles of people working. Several glare at her ]
āā
[ Knock on door of field office lead officer Connor ]
Connor: Come in.
[ Agent Park enters. Connor scowls ]
Connor: You and I had an agreement.
Park: Iām here on a case.
Connor: Our agreement was you wouldnāt be here at all.
Park: I was sent here by Assistant Director Harold Cooper. This is his authorization.
[ Connor looks at the papers Park brought ]
Connor: Computer access. Liaison. Underwater search and rescue.
Park: To recover three semi-trucks.
Connor: Semi-trucks. Under water.
Park: Iām not here to look for him.
Connor: You better not be, because I wonāt protect you if you do. Not again.
Ā
[ An pick-up truck with a back camper drives into a remote encampment ] [ Twamie Ullulaq, a Native American, gets out of the vehicle ]
Wyatt: There was a problem with the shipment. Thereās something we didnāt expect to find with the cargo.
[ Wyatt walks with Ullulaq to a metal building and opens the door. A man is huddled on the floor ]
Edward Lussier: [ Shivering, breathing shakily ]
Ullulaq: I wonder how much youāre worth.
Ā
[ Anchorage ] [ Liz is riding with Ressler ]
Ressler: Thatās the reason why Aram wants to draw blood? To see if Elodie poisoned her husband?
Liz: Itās why Reddington wants him to. I think he should tell the police.
[ Cellphone vibrating. A text says āTroubleā ]
Liz: Thatās why your phoneās been blowing up. Robby. Whatās he done this time?
Ressler: Donāt know, and I donāt want to know.
Liz: You canāt just ignore him. Heās family.
Ressler: Watch me. [ Beep ]
āā
[ Lizās cellphone ringing ]
Liz: Park?
Park: [ On phone ] I pulled the port records. It appears the same shift manager was on duty when the cargo for all three stolen trucks was offloaded. Nameās Maxwell Barrett.
Ressler: All right, weāre on our way to the port now.
Park: Heās not at the port. Heās off today. Heās got a place in Wasilla. 3250 Sun Ridge Road.
Ā
[ Maxwell Barrettās roughshod cabin in Wasilla ]
Barrett: I know whatās inside all them containers.
Ressler: Four of those containers are currently sitting at the bottom of a lake.
Barrett: I talked to the police, and Iāll tell you what I told them. [ Laughs ] Accidents happen.
Ressler: Oh, this was no accident. The cargoās missing, along with the drivers.
Liz: Those trucks have only one thing in commonā you cleared them through the port.
Barrett: You two think I took them trucks? [ Laughs ] Why? To pay for my millionaire mountain chalet? [ Laughing ] [ Coughing, wheezing ]
[ Barrett gets up and stumbles away, coughing ]
āā
Ressler: This is a waste of time.
Liz: I donāt know. I donāt like it.
Ressler: The old man can barely walk. I mean, itās not like heās John Dillingerā
[ Door opens ] [ Barrett reappears from a back room š„blasting with a shotgunš„ ]
[ š„š„ Gunfight š„š„š„š„ ] [ Barrett falls dead against a cabinet, slides to the floor ]
[ Liz checks out the room Barrett came out of ] [ Beeping ] [ It has multiple active computer screens ]
Liz: Ressler, check this out.
Ressler: Iāll call Park, get a forensics team up here. Maybe they can figure out who this guyās been communicating with.
Ā
[ Aram is in a parked car ]
Aram: [ To himself, as he rolls a syringe between his fingers ] She is kind and nice. Heās in a better place. And Iā Iām a total diphthong.
[ Door shuts ] [ Aramās girlfriend, Elodie, descends steps of a walk-up, along with a man with a cane and a noticeable limp. They shake hands ] [ When the man leaves, Aram gets out of his car and calls to Elodie ]
Aram: Hey, hey. [ Chuckles ] Uh, you want a ride? I, uh, figured you wouldnāt want to do this alone.
[ Elodie smiles and walks toward him ]
Ā
[ A funeral home ] [ Classical music playing ]
Aram: The guy outside your place, he, umā he looked so familiar.
Elodie: He was a friend of Charles. He had so many, and they all feel awful.
Aram: Of course. They, umā They lost a friend.
Elodie: All I feel is relief. For him because heās finally at peace and for me because I get to move on with my life. With our life. [ She takes Aramās hand ]
Aram: Picking a casket is a big decision, so while I, uh, hunt for a bathroom, you take your time. Charles is gonna have to live with your choice for, like, ever.
āā
[ Aram leaves and finds another room. Inside are two bodies covered in sheets. He lifts the sheet from the face of the first corpse. Itās a woman ]
Aram: Oh. Sorry about that. Sorry.
[ The second corpse is, indeed, Charles ]
Aram: Charles. My, uh, deepest sympathies. I, uhā I know this is super awkward. [ Zipper zips ] But I think this might be in your best interest. Quick stick. Oh, God. Oh.
[ Aram draws the blood ]
āā
[ Aram leaves the room and calls Red ]
Aram: I got it. I got the goods.
Red: [ On phone ] What goods are those, Aram?
Aram: The sample, the blood sample. I have it.
Red: Yes, of course. Iāll arrange pickup with the lab tech for tonight. The bike path in Fort Slocum park. Midnight.
Aram: A bike path.
Red: At any rate, itās not much of a bike path. If you want a real cycling adventure, you should look into the Cowboy Trail, a defunct stretch of rail lineā
[ Elodie appears ]
Elodie: Aram?
Aram: [ To Red, low voice ] Fort Slocum. Midnight. Got to go. Got to go. Thanks. [ Hangs up ]
Elodie: Hey.
Aram: Hey.
Elodie: Everything okay?
Aram: Yeah. Sorry. Everythingāsā Everythingās fine. Did you, uhā Did you find a casket?
Elodie: I did care about him, you know. I know it doesnāt always seem like it because, well, you make me so happy. But, anyway, yes, and Iām glad you made me take the time to do it. Charles deserved that.
Ā
[ Connorās office ]
Connor: We made a copy of the hard disks from Maxwell Barrettās cabin. We were able to trace one of the downloads.
Park: What are TEU values?
Connor: Itās the insured value of each cargo container. The highest one on the list there is over $14 million in German pharmaceuticals.
Liz: Could be the next target.
Ressler: Iāll contact the carrier.
Connor: How were you able to locate the missing trucks in the first place?
Park: We canāt tell you that.
Connor: I wasnāt asking you.
Ressler: Look, weāre just here to do a job and go home. Is that gonna be a problem?
Connor: Thatās up to Alina.
Ā
[ Twamie Ullulaq sits on a chair in the metal shed where Edward Lussier is huddled on the floor, shivering ]
Ullulaq: You getting chilly yet? You think you might want to start talking in exchange for some clothes?
Lussier: I-I t-told you what I know.
Ullulaq: Edward Lussier. Night security at Prudhoe Bay. But what you didnāt tell me is why you were all trussed up in the back of a trailer full of smuggled goods.
Lussier: I was t-taken. M-M-Middle of the night. Please, I-I donāt know whyā
Ullulaq: Well, youāre worth something to somebody, and you better figure out what before you freeze to death.
Ā
[ Connorās office ]
Park: If we want to find them, the pharmaceuticals may be an opportunity.
Ressler: An opportunity how?
Park: What if we let the shipment go as scheduled. Allow them to steal it.
Liz: You want to catch them in the act.
Connor: Weāre the FBI. Weāre supposed to stop crimes, not facilitate them.
Ressler: That being said, uh, what exactly are you suggesting?
Ā
[ The metal shed ]
Wyatt: That 40-foot of pharmaceuticals is offloaded. Should be on the road within two hours.
Ullulaq: [ To Lussier ] Iām gonna give you some alone time so you can reflect on your self worth.
[ Ullulaq leaves ] [ Lussier rushes to the door and calls through the metal grating ]
Lussier: Wait! I-I told you everything I know! Please, y-y-you canāt leave me in here! Iām gonnaā Iām gonna freeze to death! [ Banging ]
Ā
[ Milan, Italy. A perfumery ]
Red: Buongiorno!
Rossi: Don Reddington!
Red: Signore Rossi.
[ Cheek kisses ] [ Both chuckle ]
Red: Look at you. Oh, how are you, friend?
Rossi: Living la dolce vita. And what brings you to my little corner of paradise?
Red: My nose, of course.
Rossi: Oh, of course.
Red: Word has it youāve formulated a new fragrance with musky depth and a passionate animalic note.
Rossi: Ah. You are referring to the Rossi Grande Estratto No. 1. Questo.
Red: Oh, dio mio.
Rossi: Uh-huh.
Red: Oh. So warm on the top. Honey-like.
Rossi: Yes.
Red: With a lustful, almost bottomless bottom. Is that ambergris? š [See Note]
Rossi: Wow! You have very refined senses.
Red: I find ambergris to be an absolute marvel.
Rossi: Mm-hmm.
Red: Digestive juices of the sperm whale ā powerful enough to break down squid beaks and fish bones until the glorious beast excretes the waxy mass into the ocean. Whale vomit ā worth more than its weight in gold.
Rossi: [ Laughs ] Itās true. Ambergris is very difficult to come by these days.
Red: And yet you managed to find some.
Rossi: I was contacted by a private party in Alaska.
Red: A private party in Alaska just stole a shipment of ambergris from me, worth about $3 million.
Rossi: Oh, thatās terrible.
Red: Mm. Whoās your supplier?
Rossi: Raymond, you know I cannot divulge my suppliers. Ambergris is illegal in many countries.
Red: I understand. You have to protect your supply chain to maintain the high quality of your fine merchandise. Such as this extraordinary item.
[ Red picks up a vial of perfume ]
Red: Quanto costa?
Rossi: 6,800.
Red: Ah. That must be a heavenly scent.
[ Red drops the vial. It ā”ļøshattersā”ļø]
Red: [ Inhales ] Mmm. White birch?
Dembe: Mmm. I smell clove.
Red: Yes.
Dembe: And oakmoss.
Red: Oakmoss.
[ Dembe points to another vial ]
Dembe: This one is pretty.
Rossi: Okay, okay, okay, okay. You win. Iāll give you the name. Iāll give you the name. Grazie. Please, no more.
Red: Write down the relevant details and, please, gift wrap one bottle of Rossi No. 1.
Rossi: Sure. Si.
Ā
[ Fort Slocum Park at midnight ] [ Aram looks around nervously. An Hasidic Jew on a bike approaches. A basket on the front on the bike says āHelp Jewish Orphansā in English and Hebrew ] [ Bike bell dings⨠] [ Brakes squeal ]
Aram: You, uhā You want me to put the item inā in the basket?
[ Bike bell dings⨠] [ Aram puts the sample of Charles Radcliffeās blood in the basket ] [ The bike leaves ]
Aram: [ Calling after ] Do I, umā Do I get a receipt orā anything? No? Shalom.
āā
[ A man with a cane walks by with a woman ]
Flashback:
[ At Les Fleurs du Mal, Aram points his gun at the crowd of participants ]
Aram: Everybody on the ground. Nobody move.
[ Aram notices a man crouching among the group ]
āā
Flashback:
[ Aram sees the same man limping down the steps of the walk-up to greet Elodie, prior to their visit to the funeral home ]
[ Aram makes a call ] [ Cellphone beeping ]
Aram: Records division? Yeah, this is Special Agent Aram Mojtabai. Iād like to request the case file for Thelonious Prackett. Yeah, with a āP.ā
[ Thelonius Prackett, now in prison, was the owner/host of Les Fleurs du Mal, the event venue in which risk-takers gathered and one was chosen to undertake a nearly impossible-to-survive challenge. Charlesās paralysis was the result of one such challenge ]
Ā
[ An Alaskan highway ] [ Agent Alina Park drives a semi. Some distance behind are Ressler and Liz in an SUV ]
Liz: [ On phone to Park ] Youāre like an ice-road trucker.
Park: Got to be if you live up here long enough. Even if your toes can barely reach the pedals.
Ressler: 10 hours on the road, we havenāt seen one sign of a suspicious vehicle.
Liz: GPS says youāre still inside the triangle.
Park: Theyāll take the bait. Itās possible the hijack crew was tipped off that I was driving.
Ressler: More than likely they got word that we shot their inside man.
Liz: You shot their inside man.
Ressler: Yeah, but I saved your butt.
Park: Hey, guys, hold up. Iāve got something here. Accident blocking the road.
Ressler: All right, here we go. Keep this line open. Weāre two minutes out and closing.
Ā
[ Park stops the truck. A Burly Man walks over ]
Park: Everyone okay?
Burly Man: We got an airlift en route from Bartlett. We can try and guide you clear, but we canāt move those vehicles.
Park: Yeah. That would be great.
Burly Man: Letās try and squeeze you through.
[ Men remove debris from the highway. The Burly Man waves Park through ]
āā
Park: [ On comms ] Iām clear.
Liz: What do you mean youāre clear? They let you through?
Ressler: You sure theyāre not tailing you?
Park: No. I think the accident was justā an accident. I just passed a sign for a weigh station a few miles up the road. Iāll wait there, and we can regroup.
Ressler: Copy that.
āā
[ Helicopter blades whirring ] [ The Burly Man waves Ressler and Liz over ] [ A man sits on a tire in the middle of the road, being attended to ]
āā
[ Park pulls into the weigh station ]
Park: Hello? Hello?
āā
[ Ressler gets out of the SUV. A helicopter flies overhead ]
āā
[ The weigh station ]
Park: [ Calls out ] Hello?
āā
[ The helicopter medics attend to the man sitting on the tire ]
[ Liz gets in the SUV ]
Liz: [ On comms ] Hey, Park, medics are on-site. Weāre just waiting to see if they need any assistance before we head your way. Park, do you copy?
āā
[ Parkās earpiece lies in the snow ]
Lizās voice on the earpiece: Alina? Alina, can you hear me? Are you there? Park, do you copy? Park?
Ā
[ At the encampment, men bring Park, blindfolded, to Twamie Ullulaq ]
Leander: Found a GPS tracker hidden in the truck. We had to dump it. And we found her.
[ He hands Parkās IDs to Ullulaq ] [ Crow caws ]
Leander: What do you want to do with her?
[ Ullulaq nods toward the metal shed ] [ Leander forces her into the shed ]
Park: [ Grunting ]
[ Leander takes off Parkās blindfold and slamsā”ļøthe door shut ]
Lussier: [ Shivering ]
Park: No, no. Itās okay. Iām not with them. Iā
[ She sees how thinly dressed and cold Lussier is ]
Park: Here. Take this.
[ Park takes off her thick down coat and gives it to Lussier ]
Park: Where are we?
Lussier: Weāre gonna d-die here. [ Shivering ]
Ā
Park: Iād say weāre in the foothills of the Chugach range. If we got out and found a trailhead, I think I can get us to an access road.
Lussier: You live here?
Park: I did. Swore Iād never come back.
Lussier: Then why did you?
Park: What were you hauling when they hijacked you?
Lussier: Hauling? I was being hauled. You know, I-I-I got abducted, thrown in the back of a truck, and then that truck got hijacked.
Park: And you donāt know why?
Lussier: Lady, Iām a nobody. Why would anyone want to abduct me?
Park: [ Exhales deeply ]
[ Lussier gives Park her coat back ]
Lussier: Here. Weāll take turns. Why did you? Come back?
Park: To catch the hijackers. Iām an FBI agent. My nameās Alina Park. Whatās your name?
Lussier: Me? I told you. Iām nobody.
Park: Well, Mr. Nobody, Iāll let you in on a little secret. I died once in Alaska. I didnāt come back to do it again.
Ā
[ Liz and Ressler are at the weigh station ]
Ressler: [ On phone ] She was taken from a weigh station.
Liz: Itās isolated. No surveillance. Target vehicle approaches, gets waived out of line and hijacked, the GPS gets pulled, and no oneās the wiser.
āā
[ The Post Office ] [ Aram walks over to Cooper ]
Aram: That was Mr. Reddington. I, uh, patched him through to the call and told him about Agent Park.
Cooper: This just came for you. Case files on Les Fleurs du Mal.
Liz: Donāt tell me you listened to Reddington. I told you to have the police look into it.
Cooper: Into what?
Aram: Nothing as important as finding Agent Park. Mr. Reddington.
Red: Speaking.
Cooper: Keen and Ressler are coordinating with state and local authorities. They have roadblocks in place and aerial surveillance.
Red: Twamie Ullulaq.
Liz: Who?
Red: The stolen cargo I traced in Milan, Twamie took it.
Cooper: Do you know where he is?
Red: I do not.
But someone in your government does. They created him. Twamie Ullulaq is a native Alaskan who the U.S. military armed and trained in counterterrorism.
Ressler: The army doesnāt train civilians.
Red: They did during the Cold War, didnāt they, Harold? Go on. Tell the kids about Operation Washtub
[ ~ Wikipedia ]
Cooper: During the Cold War, the Pentagon worried that they couldnāt defend Alaska, so it rounded up locals ā hunters, bush pilots ā and trained them in counterinsurgency against a Red Invasion. They volunteered in exchange for land and a promise that housing would be built. Schools.
Red: And when the Red Scare ended, so did that commitment. Imagine that. Your government breaking its promise to indigenous people.
Ā
[ The metal shed ]
Ullulaq: How much does the FBI know?
Lussier: I-Iām not an agent. We donāt know each other.
Ullulaq: You expect me to believe you two being here is a coincidence.
Park: Yes. Because it is.
Ullulaq: Thereās no coincidences here.
Ā
[ The Post Office ]
Cooper: The land they were given, find it. Just because nothing was ever built on it doesnāt mean theyāre still not there, and it doesnāt mean sheās not there. And if she is, weāre gonna find her.
Ā
[ Twamie Ullulaq points his shotgun at Park ]
Ullulaq: How much do you know about us?!
Park: Why would I tell you that?
Ullulaq: āCause if you donāt, Iāll kill him.
[ He shifts his aim to Lussier ]
Lussier: N-No, no, no! Donāt! Please! No. Donāt!
Wyatt: [ Through the door ] Twamie, we got a problem.
Ullulaq: Weāll continue this.
[ Door closes ]
Park: [ Sighs ]
āā
Wyatt: Twamie, Old Macās dead. The FBI gunned him down inside his cabin.
Ullulaq: Just a matter of time before they find this camp. Pack it up! Weāre pulling stakes!
ā You heard him.
Ullulaq: Come on, guys. Come on!
ā Move it! Letās go.
ā Come on! Right now.
Ā
[ Aram buzzes the door of an apartment ] [ Buzzing ] [ Door opens ]
Aram: Wilbur Eaton? Special Agent Aram Mojtabai. FBI.
Wilbur Eaton: If this is about Prackett, I made a deal. Got immunity for testifying against him.
Aram: I read the testimony. I know what you did for Prackett. You made the torture chambers that killed or disabled anyone who was put in them, including Charles Radcliffe. And yet, you were at his widowās house yesterday.
Eaton: To offer my condolences.
Aram: For the death of a man you almost killed.
Eaton: What can I say? Iām soft that way.
Aram: Your immunity agreement required full disclosure about any and all crimes involved in Prackettās ventures. If you fail to disclose one, the deal will be torn up, and you will go to prison. Why were you really at her house?
Eaton: Because now she can pay me what she owes.
Aram: Because of the prenup. Wait. Wait, why does she owe you money?
Eaton: I remember you. From The Defiance.
Aram: What did you do for her?
Eaton: [ Chuckles quietly ] You donāt want to know.
Ā
[ The metal shed ]
Lussier: You were gonna let him kill me.
Park: He was bluffing.
Lussier: He was right about coincidences. They donāt happen here. You need to have a purpose to come here. I know yours was to kill me.
[ Door opens. Wyatt enters pointing a gun and throws handcuffs to Park and Lussier ]
Wyatt: Put them on.
Park: Or what? Youāre gonna shoot us? You want us to wear these, youāre gonna have to put them on us yourself.
Wyatt: Youāre too feisty for your own good. Anyone ever tell you that?
[ He tries to put the handcuffs on Park ]
Park: All the time.
[ ā”ļøFight ā”ļø] [ Grunting ] [ Park wins easily, leaving Wyatt unconscious, lying face down. She puts cuffs on him. Lussier gets Wyattās gun, which he points at Park ] [ Gun cocks ]
Lussier: I know you blame me for what h-happened, but I didnāt kill her.
Park: [ Recognizing him ] Lussierā?
Lussier: But looks like you did come back here to die.
Ā
[ The FBI field office in Anchorage ]
Connor: AKRCCās running search and rescue assets out of Elmendorf, and the state troopers have their infrared chopper in the air as we speak.
Ressler: Were you able to monitor radio frequencies up here?
Connor: All 406 emergency locator beacons.
Ressler: She knows your protocol, so if she still has a radio, expect her to try to make contact.
Liz: What about the land granted to Operation Washtub? Have you located it?
Connor: Weāre working on it.
Ressler: Yeah, well, work harder.
Connor: This mission was a mistake to begin with. Park got herself into this situation, and itās an unfortunate one, but these people, the ones who are searching for her, theyāre the very best at what they do, and they will do whatever they can to find her. Now, if youāll excuse me, we got a location on the camp.
[ Connor leaves ]
Ressler: What is it with her and Park?
Liz: Parkās history here isā complicated.
Ressler: Meaning?
Liz: Park made mistakes. Connor covered on the promise Park would not return.
Ressler: Covered? What did she do?
Liz: You have a black sheep in your family. Letās just say Park has a black sheep of her own.

[ The encampment ] [ Men speaking indistinctly ] [ Lussier cracks open the door of the metal shed and looks out ]
Park: Youāll never make it.
Lussier: Really? Watch me.
Park: I stand a better chance.
Lussier: I doubt it. Seeing as how Iām the one with the gun.
Park: Youāre lucky if itās 20 degrees right now. Once the sun drops behind that ridge, itāll fall below zero, and thatās before dark.
Lussier: Iām not letting you out.
Park: I know weāre on the south side of the Bagley Icefield. I also know if we can get to Quill Creek, itāll point us toward the highway. You, on the other hand, youāre a junkie lost in the woods. A nobody from nowhere. You said so yourself.
Lussier: Why would you h-help me?
Park: Iām helping myself. Youāll die out there, Edward. But if you leave me, Iāll die in here.
[ Lussier pauses, then hands her the keys ]
Park: The bullets.
Lussier: Hmm?
Park: I donāt care if you carry the gun, but I carry the bullets. Think of it as the first step towards you and I trusting each other.
[ Together they sneak out of the metal shed ] [ Men speaking indistinctly in distance ]
Ā
Gerrit: Mr. Ullulaq, we have a situation.
[ They walk over to the shed ]
Wyatt: [ Groans ] Iām sorry. I never saw it coming.
Ullulaq: Well, they couldnāt have gotten that far. Take Gerrit with you. Radio the camp when you find their footpath.
Ā
Park: As far as Iām concerned, thereās no end to the charges they could bring against you, but murder is the only one that matters.
Lussier: I know you think that, but youāre not gonna do anything about it.
Park: You killed my mother.
Lussier: You tell anybody, Iāll go public. I know what happened at Anchorage Correctional. Yeah. How you put J. Yost in a wheelchair. Yeah. I know about those cops you paid off. I know how you, uh, held Wade Leek at gunpoint. And I know youā you broke the law in enough different ways in order to try and find me that you friends at the FBI had to cover it up.
Park: We need to keep moving.
Lussier: You hear me?
Park: Itās getting late.
Lussier: You turn me in, Iāll tell them everything. Every gory detail. No, youāre not gonna say anything to nobody.
[ Lussier has been following Park a couple meters behind. He sees a large branch and picks it up. He runs toward her with the branch raised to strike he. She is unaware ]
Lussier: āCause youāre not walking out of these woodsā
[ Lussier steps in a bear trapā”ļø]
Lussier: Aah! Oh!
Park: Donāt move!
[ Park comes to Lussierās aid. She tries to pull the jaws of the trap apart ]
Lussier: [ Screaming ]
Park: Hold on! Hold on!
Lussier: Pull! Harder! Harder!
Park: Iām trying! I canāt!
Lussier: Iām begging you! Please! Please!
Park: Iāll be back.
Lussier: No. Donāt leave me. You canāt! Iām begging you. Please.
Flashback:
Parkās Mother: [ Begging ] Please. Please. Sweetie, Iām begging. Please. Please.
[ Alina Park is a young girl. Tearfully, she shakes her head ānoā ]
Lussier: Iāll die here!
Park: I canāt open the trap. Not on my own. Iāll get help, and I will come back.
Lussier: And if they get here first?
[ Park gives him the bullets ]
Park: You only got six. Aim carefully.
[ She runs off ]
Ā
[ The encampment ]
Gerrit: [ On radio phone ] Twamie, we got a situation.
Ullulaq: You find them?
Gerrit: Scouts radioed. We got a breach. Feds on the south ridge.
[ š„š„š„ Explosions š„š„š„ ] [ š„š„š„ ]
Ressler: FBI! Hands in the air! Put your weapons down!
[ š„š„š„ Gunfight š„š„š„ š„š„š„ ]
[ Ullulaq aims his shotgun ]
Liz: Freeze!
[ Twamie Ullulaq freezes. He turns around and sees Liz ]
Ā
[ Indistinct shouting ] [ Indistinct conversations ]
[ An FBI TAC Agent comes up to Ressler ]
TAC Agent: Sir. Sheās not here, sir.
āā
[ Liz walks up to Ullulaq ]
Liz: Hey, where is she? Answer me.
Ullulaq: Why would I want to do that?
Gerrit: [ On radio ] Twamie.
Liz: Your men have her or are looking for her. Either way, youāve been in communication. Where are they?
āā
[ Gerrit walks up to Lussier. Others follow Gerrit with Park ]
Gerrit: Now, thatās a piss-poor hiding spot.
[ Lussier gets the gun ]
Gerrit: Put it down. Slowly.
Lussier: Okay. Okay, wait, wait. Just wait!
[ Lussier puts the gun down and raises his hands ]
Lussier: All right? Please. I can help you.
Gerrit: I donāt think youāre gonna be much help at all.
Lussier: No, listen. I have information about your FBI agent there. You know, things sheās done. You could use her to barter with the police, cut a deal.
Gerrit: We donāt have orders to make deals. Our orderās to make examples out of you.
Lussier: Wait, hold on. Iām telling you, sheās a dirty cop.
Gerrit: Not anymore sheās not.
[ Gerrit turns to shoot Park ]
Ressler: FBI! Put the gun down!
[ š„š„ Gunshots š„š„] [ Gerrit falls behind a tree trunk ] [ Several of Gerritās group are shot ]
[ Liz runs up to Park ]
Liz: You okay?
[ Gerrit rises and is about to shoot Park ]
Park: Keen!
[ Lussier shoots š„ Gerrit before he can shoot. Lussier drops the gun and puts his hands up, surrendering ]
Lussier: [ Shivering ]
[ Park stares at Lussier ]
Ā
[ The FBI field office ]
Liz: You okay?
[ Lussier is wheeled by in a wheelchair ]
Park: Better than him. My motherās boyfriend from Anchorage.
Liz: The one youāve been hunting all these years. How is that possible? Did you know he was here?
Park: Of course not.
Liz: How did you two end up in the same place together?
Park: I think we both know the answer to that.
Ā
[ Aram leads Elodie through the war room of the Post Office ]
Elodie: I canāt believe Iām back in a blacksite. You know, I knew that you had a cool job, but, I mean, this is so coolā
[ Aram opens a door to a room where Wilbur Eaton sits ]
Elodie: Whatās he doing here?
Aram: Sit down.
Elodie: I can explain.
Aram: Explain what? That Charles didnāt find Les Fleurs du Mal? You did.
Eaton: I told him about our arrangement.
Elodie: There is no arrangement.
Eaton: How you came to me, got me to invite your husband and made sure he was selected for the challenge.
Elodie: He came to the houseā
Aram: Selected to die.
Elodie: He wanted money. He said he would tell these lies if I didnāt give it to him.
Aram: But Charles didnāt die. And then I showed up. When we insisted you go to The Defiance, you got Eaton to pick you. I thought I was saving you, butā you two had worked out a way for you to save yourself.
Elodie: No. I would have died without you.
Aram: No. You used me. You got me to open up to you. Thatās why you kept asking about Blacklisters. To seduce me into giving you a murder weapon.
Elodie: You canāt believe that. I canāt believe you would take his word over mine.
Aram: Your word, thenā Did you kill him?
Elodie: I love you.
Aram: Did you kill Charles?
Elodie: No.
Aram: I hope thatās true.

[ Sizzling ] [ Red is cooking Shiozake, Japanese-style salted salmon, and drinking white wine ]
Red: Agent Park.
Park: You kidnapped Lussier. They found him inside your truck, didnāt they?
Red: We can discuss that over Shiozake.
Park: You orchestrated this whole thing. You put us together.
Red: I intended on bringing you together, yes, by abducting him, not you. That was unforeseen. But in the end, it served the greater good.
Park: You have no business interfering in my life.
Red: I do when your life interferes with my business. I know about your mother and her relationship with Mr. Lussier.
Park: How could you know that?
Red: Because I must. Youāre an excellent agent, Alina, and a loose cannon. I need the first, and I wonāt tolerate the second.
Park: So you put us together so I could, what? Exact my revenge and become less uncontrollable?
Red: My world is filled with people seeking revenge. I can see it every time I look at them. Itās as distinct as a birthmark. But I look at you and see none of that. I donāt see a quest for vengeance. I see a smart, capable young woman filled with self-loathing, and I think if you have a debt to settle, perhaps itās with yourself.
Park: Lussierās an addict who supports his habit through armed robbery and theft. I settled my debt with him when I gave everything I knew about his crimes to the Alaska bureau.
Red: And the debt you owe yourself?
Park: [ Sighs ] I settled that by giving them nothing about what he did to my mother. Because heā did nothing. The heroin did. They were addicts, and they were helpless to help each other. I was helpless, too.
Red: You were a child. You couldnāt be expected to help. You shouldnāt hate yourself for that.
Park: After he left, she was shaking and vomiting and doubled over in pain. I was 7. All I saw was that she was in pain, and I wanted that pain to stop.
Flashback:
Parkās Mother: Sweetie, Iām begging. Please.
Park: So I did as I was told.
Flashback:
[ Young Alina Park tightens a length of plastic tubing around her motherās arm ]
Park: At first, she was soā happy. The pain just disappeared. And then her eyes rolled back into her head, andā she died.
Flashback:
[ Alinaās mother dies ]
Young Alina: [ Crying ]
Park: She overdosed. I overdosed her. I donāt hate myself because I couldnāt help my mom. I hate myself because I killed her.

[ Fort Slocum park ] [ Aram waits ]
[ Bike bell dings⨠] [ Brakes squeal ] [ The Hasidic man stops his bicycle. He takes the blood analysis report out of the bike basket and hands it to Aram ]
Aram: Thank you.
[ The man rides off. Aram unfolds the report and reads ]
Ā
[ Cooperās office ] [ Knock on door ]
Cooper: Agent Park, come in. I hear congratulations are in order.
Park: Thank you, sir. We got lucky, sir.
Cooper: Diligence is the mother of good luck. Whatās on your mind?
Park: Anchorage and my past there.
Cooper: Iāve read your file. I know things got a little bumpy near the end.
Park: Bumpy would be a gracious choice of words. Sir, there are things that happened in Anchorage, things I did that youāre not aware of. You should be.

āŖ Silver winged, broken English, boys they smoke
Talk and joke above the water āŖ
[ Later, Cooper stands by Liz by the yellow staircase ] [ Above on the landing, Ressler sits next to Twamie Ullulaq, booking him ]
Liz: Itās strange. I know we solved at least part of the Alaska Triangle, but after all he was promised, itās hard not to empathize.
Cooper: Iāve spoken to Agent Parkā
Liz: And now heās going to prison for the rest of his life.
Cooper: She told me about Anchorage. She told me you know. Iām curious as to why you didnāt feel the need to say anything to me.
Liz: I didnāt say anything because I donāt think you should do anything.
Cooper: She didnāt just bend the rule book. She broke it.
Liz: And I can understand why you would have a hard time accepting that. But when it comes to family, itās complicated. I know thatās true for me. You know better than anyone, I havenāt always been my best self. I donāt think any of us have. Honestly, I think you should give her the benefit of the doubt. I think in a situation like this, we should give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

[ Door opens ] [ Aram enters the room where Elodie sits ]
āŖ Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back āŖ
Aram: You have the right to remain silent.
[ Elodie is led away in handcuffs. Aram follows ]
Aram: [ Voice-over ] Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
āŖ Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back āŖ
Aram: Do you understand these rights I have just read to you?
Elodie: No. I donāt understand it at all.
Aram Neither do I.

Trivia: Ambergris is described in the great (some say the greatest) American novel, Moby Dick by Herman Melville, about whaling. Recall that Red called himself āMoby Dickā in the very first episode of The Blacklist. Below is part of the description from the novel (http://bit.ly/3c2CKLg)
[A]mbergris is soft, waxy, and so highly fragrant and spicy, that it is largely used in perfumery, in pastiles, precious candles, hair-powders, and pomatum. The Turks use it in cooking, and also carry it to Mecca, for the same purpose that frankincense is carried to St. Peterās in Rome. Some wine merchants drop a few grains into claret, to flavor it.
Who would think, then, that such fine ladies and gentlemen should regale themselves with an essence found in the inglorious bowels of a sick whale! Yet so it is. By some, ambergris is supposed to be the cause, and by others the effect, of the dyspepsia in the whale. ā¦
Now that the incorruption of this most fragrant ambergris should be found in the heart of such decay; is this nothing? Bethink thee of that saying of St. Paul in Corinthians, about corruption and incorruption; how that we are sown in dishonor, but raised in glory.
