š“ Script 8:7 Chemical Mary (ā 143)
Brief (Where weāre at):
Liz Keen continues to operate out of reach of Red and the task force. Acting on Redās belief that she may have used the services of the ātranslation service for criminals,ā The Wellstone Agency, Aram went undercover and was hired as a translator for the Agency (he speaks eight languages, including Latin and American Sign Language ~ who knew?). Knowing sign language turned out to be helpful as the head of the agency, known as The Colonel, is deaf. Red gained access to The Colonel by telling him he had an FBI āmoleā in the Agency (none other than Aram) who was called on to communicate that information from Red to the Colonel in sign language. In exchange for promising The Colonel a new identity and escape, The Colonel gave Red the name of the man Liz had hired the Agency to communicate with: a Bosnian bounty hunter name Adin Markovic. (Red also had his own records erased from the Agencyās files).
Agent Alina Park, who reacts like a Korean version of the Incredible Hulk when triggered, landed in trouble when she went after a loan shark who had burned down the family restaurant of her friend, Melissa Randall, with Melissa there. Melissa died and Park called on the loan shark, Mason Dieterle, ājust to talkā but ending up beating him to within an inch of his life. Because she had promised Cooper to not let her emotions get dangerously out of control (again), Park turned to Red for āhelp.ā tbc ā¦
Responding to a call from the mother of Redās inveterant ā and irreverent ā master tracker Glen āJelly Beanā Carter, Red and Dembe learned that Glen had died a couple of weeks earlier of West Nile Virus. [Clark Middleton, the actor who played Glen, had in fact died of West Nile Virus in October 2020]. In addition to inviting Red and Dembe to Glenās memorial shindig at the Rockville Maryland DMV, Glenās mother Paula gave Red a letter Glen had left for him asking a couple of small favors. It seems that over the years Glen had explained the extra money and perks he had gotten from Red as being due to Glenās being the close friend and āmuseā of singer-songwriter Huey Lewis. Unfortunately, Huey Lewis knew nothing of this so it was Glenās ādying wishā that Red track down Huey Lewis and convince him to attend Glenās memorial and back up the story. Oh, and there was a second ādying wishā: that Red steal Glenās ashes (unbeknownst to his mother) and scatter them at the feet of āthat grande dameā of New York Harbor, The Statue of Liberty. Indeed, all this came to pass, as Red was frustrated, infuriated and foiled by Glen one last time, but in the end found it in himself to offer Glen a heartfelt eulogy in the presense of Dembe and Huey Lewis ā and The Statue of Liberty. Rest in Peace, Jelly Bean.

Voiceover: Previously on āThe Blacklistā:
[ Flashbacks: ]
[ Rakitin gets into Redās car and sits down next to him ]
Red: Iām not an errand boy. I wonāt be ordered about.
Rakitin: Weād like you to make this go away.
[ Tadashi Ito and Guinevere Claflin from the House Intelligence Committee erase the report containing information on Rakitin ]
āā
[ In Moscow, Red meets with his āEastern Friendā ]
Eastern Friend: We know about Keen. What sheās saying. That youāre N-13.
āā
Red: Elizabethās gone, and sheās taken something of mine with her.
[ Members of The Fribourg Confidence crack into Redās safe deposit box and take out the thumb drive Red got from his Eastern friend, leaving behind a note saying āElizabeth Keen says Helloā ]
āā
Cooper: I suppose you also think that sheās responsible for The Freelancerās release.
Red: Thereās always more to the story.
āāāā
āāSkip Hadley: [ To lawyer Scooter Rovenpor ] Where is he?
āā[ Rovenpor opens the door and lets in Alban Veseli (The Freelancer), whose freedom
āāLiz had paid Rovenpor to arrange ]
āāāā
Red: The work of a man who disguises his killings in the headlines of everyday tragedies.
āā
Cooper: The arrest that you made earlier. Mason Dieterle.
Park: He burned down my friendās restaurant.
Cooper: I just got off the phone with the AUSA reviewing the case. He told me that your friend passed away from her injuries. Iām sorry.
āā
[ Later, Cooper tells Park that Mason Dieterle has disappeared ]
Cooper: You promised me you wouldnāt do anything to Dieterle. I need to know ā Did you break that promise?
āāāā
āā[ Flashback: Park fights with Dieterle ]
āāāā
Park: No, sir.
Ā
[ A research building; Mary Bremmer walks with a Young Scientist toward a door ]
Young Scientist: Weāve been formulating those binary structures you gave us for weeks and ā I think weāve done it. We identified the exact structure of the Novichok agent.
[ They enter a room where several people are waiting, along with a large pig and its handler ] [ Pig snorting ]
Mary Bremmer: Pig, hog, runt, sow, boar. My brotherās mantra. When he was a boy, he collected glass pigs. He knew everything there was to know about them. Which side-group is this?
[ The Young Scientist hands a dropper to the pigās handler ]
Young Scientist: Ethoxy. Itās more stable. Easier to spread. Harder to detect. And lethal when it contacts the skin.
[ The pigās handler squeezes two drops onto the pigās back. The pig collapses ] [ Pig snorting ] [ Pig squealing ]
Young Scientist: This compound is 10 times more potent than VX. If thereās a deadlier nerve agent on Earth, Iām not aware of it.
Mary Bremmer: [ To her Personal Assistant ] Call our buyer in Durres. Tell him the orderās ready and to expect delivery in 48 hours.
[ Squealing stops ]
Bremmer: Pig, hog, runt, sow, boar.
Ā
[ The kitchen of Redās restaurant. Dembe walks to the table with a coffee pot. Red is reading an article in a newspaper ]
[ Red chuckles. He points out the article to Dembe ]
Red: The road not taken.
Dembe: Beauty school?
Red: [ Chuckling ] Yes. That young womanās great passion that her single father just canāt understand. It pushes them apart. But instead of insisting that she understand him, he enrolls in beauty school as well and learns to better understand her.
Dembe: I think you understand Elizabeth. Probably more than you want to.
Red: Well, Iām not her father. Maybe if I were, Iād want to understand her even better. Perhaps she wouldnāt be so determined to kill me.
[ Knock on door ] [ Dembe lets Cooper in ]
Cooper: Morning, Dembe.
Dembe: Good morning. Coffee?
Cooper: Please. Something smells delicious.
Red: Mmm. Meat and potato pie. Dembe brought it back from Sarajevo. You should try a slice. Like all good things, itās sinfully bad for you.
[ Red gives a serving of the pie to Cooper ]
Cooper: You said you had a case?
Red: Yes. Thanks to Dembe. He brought home more than Bosnian bƶrek.
Dembe: You know that Elizabeth used an interpreter to contract a bounty hunter. I found him in Sarajevo.
Red: An effective chap of ill repute. Naturally, I assumed the hunterās bounty was me. Unfortunately, I was mistaken.
Cooper: How is not being a target unfortunate?
Red: Itās unfortunate because each time I think Elizabeth wonāt go to a darker place, she does.
Cooper: Elizabeth wanted the bounty hunter to kill someone else?
Red: Not kill. Find. Someone she wanted to work with.
Cooper: And why is that so dark?
Red: Because the person sheās working with brokers chemical weapons.
Cooper: I donāt believe that.
Dembe: Her name is Mary Bremmer.
Cooper: Iām not familiar with that name.
Red: Neither was I. The bounty hunter was unable to locate her, but he put together a dossier for Elizabeth. Dembe got a copy of it.
[ Dembe goes to get the dossier ]
Cooper: Why would she do this?
Red: The same reason she worked to get The Freelancer released from prison.
Cooper: You donāt know that she did that.
Red: No. But I know her endgame ā To break me and then kill me. I think itās safe to assume that sheās using The Freelancer and Chemical Mary to accomplish that.
Cooper: You think sheās in business with a mass murderer and a war criminal?
Red: As I said, itās all ā quite unfortunate. On the bright side, Iām going to have a meeting with The Freelancerās expensive new attorney. Word on the street is that his clientās acquired identity papers, passports, and that heās back to work.
āā
[ A group of workmen enter the forward cabin of a large aircraft. Among the workmen is Alban Veseli (The Freelancer) who Liz just had sprung from prison. He gestures to the other workmen in the direction of the cockpit ]
Alban Veseli: [ Speaking French ] I have the flight deck.
āā
Red: I want to know what heās doing. So weāll see what his attorney has to say.
[ Dembe hands Cooper a folder ]
Dembe: The dossier on Bremmer. Itās incomplete, but it should give you a head start.
Ā
[ Alban Veseli unscrews the cover of a compartment near the cockpit and removes it. He is wearing an earpiece ]
[ Deviceš
beepingš
] [ He touches the earpiece ] [ Beepš
]
Alban Veseli: Not a good time. Iām doing it now.
[ Veseli plugs a thumb drive into a port inside the compartment ]
Veseli: But this is it, Agent Keen. Once your target is eliminated, you and I are even. [ Beepš
]
[ Veseli replaces the cover of the compartment ]
Ā
[ Agent Alina Park sits at a workstation in the Post Office war room, reading the obituary of her friend Melissa Randall who died in a fire started by loanshark Mason Dieterle ] [ Telephone ringing in the distance ]
[ Flashback: ]
Park: I think what youāre doing is wrong. Youāre only making things worse for Keen by pursuing her.
Red: Agent Park, you can rest assured ā Iāve heard it all before. Itās a luxury to stand on the moral high ground and critique those of us on the low ground. A lot of people do exactly that. Until they need my help.
Park: Iāll never ask for your help.
[ Aram walks up behind Park ]
Aram: Mr. Cooper called with a heads-up. We have got a case.
Park: Okay.
[ Aram sees the obituary ]
Aram: Oh. Uhā is that about your friend? Iām so sorry.
Park: Me too.
Aram: It, uhā It sounded like it might have been arson.
Park: Not āmight.ā It was.
Aram: Are there suspects?
Park: There was, but he disappeared.
[ Flashback: ]
[ Park beats Dieterle to within an inch of his life ]
Aram: Have you talked to Mr. Reddington? I mean, he can find anyone, which, in this case, it might help, right? I mean, if he found the arsonist, you know, justice, scales, balancing, that kind of thing. But then on the downside, youād be in his debt, and, ohh, that is a record scratch through your favorite song. I mean, can you even imagine?
[ Flashback: ]
[ Red and Dembe are at Dieterleās apartment. Park sits on a chair. Dieterle is propped upin a corner, his mouth covered with duct tape. He is moving slightly ]
Red: What was it you said earlier?
Park: That Iād never ask for your help.
Red: No, that couldnāt be it. I mean, the irony ā Itās crushing.
Park: No. I canāt imagine.
Aram: Of course you canāt because this is, like, horrendous advice, which you are clearly way too smart to take. Anyway ā Iām really sorry about your friend.
[ Flashback: ]
Park: Will you help?
Red: Youāre asking me to make it all go away. Say it.
Park: Make it go away.
Red: And if I do this, youāre aware I may someday ask for a favor in return? You may come to wish youād accepted the consequences of your actions here instead.
Park: Are we good? He has a video of me on his phone.
[ She reaches toward Dieterleās phone ]
Red: Ah, ah, ah! Weāll take care of it. [ Echoing ] Like you were never here.
[ Park closes the page with the obituary ] [ Click ]
Ā
[ The task force is gathered in the war room of the Post Office ]
Cooper: Reddington refers to her as Chemical Mary. This I.D. is more than 15 years old, but itās the most recent photo we have.
Aram: What we know is this ā Mary Bremmer is a former MIT professor in pathobiological sciences who was fired for ethical misconduct in ā02. Apparently she questioned the appropriateness of a chemical-weapons ban, reasoning that if nuclear weapons are an acceptable deterrent to war, why not sarin gas?
Ressler: Thereās always a market for that kind of crazy. I mean, I assume sheās found a way to monetize it.
Aram: Yeah. The CIA thinks so. According to Langley, Bremmer supplied the weaponry for the chlorine car-bomb massacre in the Abu Sayda market. As for the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, Bremmerās role, if any, is still being investigated.
Cooper: I know. It doesnāt seem possible.
Ressler: Well, because itās not possible.
Aram: Agent Keen would never work with someone like this.
Park: No, Agent Keen wouldnāt. But sheās not an agent anymore, is she?
Ressler: Yeah, but you donāt know her like we do.
Park: Maybe thatās why I can see whatās really going on.
Cooper: Whatās going on is hard. On all of us. But the only way to find out whatās really happening is to find Agent Keen. And right now finding Mary Bremmer is our best hope of doing that.
Aram: Okay. Intel placed Bremmer in the Idlib Province in 2013, supplying sarin to Assad forces. Now, a NATO operation intercepted her convoy. Bremmerās vehicle was overturned during the attack. Now, the shipment was stopped, but Bremmer escaped and hasnāt been seen since. Bremmerās entire security detail was killed, except for one man ā Ismael Aknoz.
Cooper: At the time, Aknoz refused to give any information on Bremmer, but after eight years of isolation in an F-Type prison in Ankara, maybe heāll be ready to talk.
Ā
[ Ankara, Turkey ] [ Guard pounds on the bars of Aknozās cell with a mallet ]
Ressler: Ismael Aknoz? FBI. Weād like to talk to you about Mary Bremmer.
Aknoz: [ Speaking Turkish ] Americans. Go home.
[ Aknoz turns his back and pees into a urinal ]
Park: [ To Ressler ] Well. This has been productive.
Ressler: [ To Aknoz ] We know you speak English.
Aknoz: You want Bremmer. So do I. Nothing would give me more happiness than to see her dead.
Ressler: Okay. Great. You help us find her, and weād be happy to oblige you.
Park: Why do you want to see her dead?
Aknoz: What difference does it make?
[ Urinal flushes ]
Park: You were her partner. In her convoy. Why should we trust you?
Aknoz: Itās her fault Iām here.
Park: Oh, so she forced you to transport chemical weapons?
Aknoz: We did not know they were chemical weapons. She told us we were moving anti-tank missiles.
Ressler: So she lied to you, which is why youāre gonna help us.
Aknoz: Thank you. No. I hate her, yes. But Americans? I hate you more.
Ressler: We knew you spoke English because our boss spoke with the Ministry of Justice. Now, you work with us, and they agreed to move you out of isolation.
Park: Weāre offering you a gift. No matter how much you hate us, you should take it.
Aknoz: Your allied forces ā They could have stopped us that day. Arrested us, peacefully. Instead, they set up an ambush with an IED and started shooting. Taking the weapons wasnāt enough. They wanted to make an example of us. And to do thatā they were willing to slaughter us. Take your āgiftā and go.
Ā
[ Red and Dembe are in lawyer Scooter Rovenporās office. Red is chuckling at a bottle of wine behind glass thatās labeled āIn Case of Emergency Break Glassā ]
[ Rovenpor enters ]
Scooter Rovenpor: Who let you in here?!
Red: Your assistant. Lovely fellow. Not very savvy. Probably not best utilized as the gatekeeper. Perhaps better suited to make coffee, chit-chat.
Rovenpor: I know who you are.
Red: Tell me, when you go on a business trip, do you charge by the hour while youāre on the plane? Or in the car to the hotel? Or how about when youāre enjoying the adult entertainment in your room? Is your client paying $1,000 an hour for every hour or minute that you masturbate? My goodness. And the world thinks Iām a criminal.
Rovenpor: What do you want?
Red: For Dick the Butcher to have succeeded ā āHenry IV, Part 2,ā Act IV, scene II. Youāve heard it. āThe first thing we do, letās kill all the lawyers.ā You seem like an appropriately loathsome place to start. Luckily for you, I want to know where Alban Veseli is more than I want to sully my hands or reputation by something so obvious as disposing of you.
Rovenpor: I donāt know where he is.
Red: But you know how to contact him.
Rovenpor: If I do that, how do I know you wonāt kill me?
Red: Because you still have a debt to repay. Elizabeth Keen paid you to represent Veseli with money she stole from me. I want it back.
Rovenpor: You want me to give you back my retainer.
Red: Plus interest. Thereās the phone. Tell Alban his life is in imminent danger, that you canāt discuss it over the phone, and set a meeting. I think this qualifies as an emergency, wouldnāt you say, Scooter?
[ Red breaks the glass ]
Ā
[ The Post Office. Aram, Ressler and Park walk together ]
Ressler: Look, I know weāre jet-lagged, so maybe weāre not making ourselves clear. Aknoz was a dead end.
Aram: No, I know he didnāt say anything.
Park: So what part of ādead endā donāt you understand?
Aram: He may not have said anything, but I think he told you a lot.
[ Cooper walks over )
Cooper: You have something?
Aram: Iāve been studying the photos in the dossier that Mr. Reddington gave us.
[ Aram brings up photos on the overhead display ]
Aram: The bodies in the lead Humvee from the convoy ā What do they all have in common? Other than being really dead.
Ressler: Well, theyāre all burned.
Aram: You said Aknoz was, too.
Ressler: Thatās what he told us. He was disfigured.
Cooper: Chemical burns?
Aram: No. I think there may have been an incendiary in the IED. That Humvee burned like a bonfire. And Bremmer only escaped after the explosion. If everyone else was burned, it stands to reason that she was, too.
āā
[ In front of a mirror, Mary Bremmer applies glue to a prosthetic ear and sticks it on. She applies more glue onto a prosthetic flap that fits over the right side of her face ]
āā
Park: If so, she couldnāt have gotten far without any medical help.
Aram: Major burns like that will lead to hypovolemic shock without timely medical intervention. It is a life-threatening condition.
Cooper: Any legitimate physician giving her aid would have turned her over to the authorities.
Park: So she found help outside the established medical community.
Ressler: Dirtbag doctors without borders. Sounds like a job for Reddington.
Cooper: Reach out to him, see if he has a medical contact who knows the area.
[ Ressler and Park leave ]
Ā
Aram: [ To Cooper ] Sir. The flash drive that you gave me? I got it back from my friend at the NSA.
Cooper: Did he figure out the passcode?
Aram: Please.
Heās notā Heās not that much smarter than me. I mean, sure he knows pi out two more places, but should one quinquadragintillion really determine who has to buy the hot wings on bridge night? I donāt think so.
Cooper: So he couldnāt open it?
Aram: Uh, sorry. Not technically, no. He couldnāt read the data, but he was able to use a USB traffic sniffer to see the operation commands which bear the signature of a known hacker. She goes by the name of Rakitin. And when I say, uh, āshe,ā I donāt mean sheās a woman. I mean, she could be. Or a man. Iāmā Iām trying to alternate pronouns instead of defaulting to the generic āheā to represent a man or a woman. Rakitin could be a he or a she. Or a they.
Cooper: This is good. We know who the hacker is, but we still need to find out what he ā or she ā hacked. And we wonāt know that until you crack the passcode.
Aram: Right. Iām on it.
Cooper: Tell your NSA friend he did good work.
Aram: And buy hot wings for the month? Yeah ā I donāt think so.
Ā
[ Red and Dembe climb a stairs to Dr Mickie Grundigās office ]
Red: And they know to call us right away?
Dembe: Yes. They do. The minute The Freelancer sets foot on U.S. soil, weāll know.
āā
Red: [ To the Receptionist ] Good morning! Would you please tell Dr. Grundig that Lloyd Wilke is here?
Receptionist: Uh, do you have an appointment?
Red: Mine is a lifetime appointment.
āā
[ Red and Dembe are looking at a magazine ] [ Both laughing ]
[ Door opens ]
Red: Ah!
Dr Mickey Grundig: What a pleasant surprise.
Red: Quite the environment youāve created here, Mickey. I canāt tell if Iām in a waiting room or a gentlemenās club. My mouth is positively watering for a smokey single-malt and a smooth-draw Tatuaje Fausto.
Dr Grundig: Well, a good first impression is imperative to setting the tone for a satisfied patient experience.
Red: Hah! My goodness. How far youāve come. You know they used to call Mickey here the Back-Room Butcher? If there was a cash payment involved, heād operate, no questions asked.
Dr Grundig: Colleen, the break room could use a fresh pot of coffee. You mind?
[ She leaves ]
Red: There wasnāt a medical procedure in the book you wouldnāt perform ā Or at least try to. Of course that was after they stripped your license. Cocaine, was it? But you kicked that and saved up enough to buy a brand-new identity from me and look at you now!
Dr Grundig: Raymond. Please. If any of this ever got outā
Red: Well, it doesnāt have to. Listen. Iām looking for a woman named Mary Bremmer. Three years ago, she had a mishap near the Syrian-Turkish border. Suffered terrible burns requiring the kind of discrete medical care you once provided.
Dr Grundig: I donāt know her.
Red: But I suspect you may know the sawbones who treated her.
Dr Grundig: You want me to sell out another doctor?
Red: Well, if it makes you feel any better, the patient trades in chemical weapons. Sheās a scourge on the human race. Help me find her, and your past ā remains in the past.
Ā
[ Durres, Albania ]
[ Mary Bremmer stands in a garage with a group of men, one with a semiautomatic rifle ]
Farzin: [ Albanian accent ] I require a demonstration before I commit such significant resources. I hope you donāt mind.
Mary Not at all. I expected as much. If, uh, one of your men would retrieve the briefcase in my trunk?
[ A man named Bujare takes the keys and begins to walk toward the car. Suddenly, he collapses ]
Farzin: Bujare. What is wrong?
[ Bujare shaking, grunting ]
Bremmer: You asked for a demonstration. Iām giving you one.
[ Bujare foams at the mouth, gagging and shaking ]
Ā
[ The Post Office ]
Aram: Thanks to Mr. Reddington, we got the identity of the physician who treated Mary Bremmer.
Ressler: Yeah, but in Turkey. Itās gonna take us months to obtain a search and seizure there.
Cooper: Given that his records may hold the key to our tracking a purveyor of banned weapons, Main Justice authorized a shortcut by working with Turkish intelligence.
Aram: Hacking his medical records.
[ Photos appear of Mary Bremmer in the hospital after the IED attack ]
Park: So you were right. She was burned in the Humvee.
Aram: Badly enough to require multiple skin grafts as well as personalized prosthetics. Now, these photos were taken within a few days of the incident. But these ā [ more photos ]ā were taken a year later.
Park: No wonder we couldnāt find her.
Cooper: We ran her current looks through the Interpol database.
Ressler: What did it kick back?
āā
[ Durres, Albania ]
Mary Bremmer: A single touch or an inhaled droplet disrupts the nerve signals to his muscles, his heart, and lungs. In a matter of seconds, breathing will not be option.
āā
[ The Post Office. Aram has matched six passports to Mary Bremmerās current appearance ]
Park: Six nationalities. Six aliases.
Aram: All active, but according to passport-control archives, the last one she used was yesterday. In Paris.
Ressler: [ Reads Bremmerās alias ] Madeline Toussaint.
āā
[ Albania ]
Farzin: Remarkable. The delivery system?
Mary Bremmer: One drop on the key fob was all it took. Odorless, invisible. Lasts for days on any hard surface. Or load it into a crop duster and take out a town. Itās up to you. Killingās never been easier.
āā
Aram: For the last nine months, Mary Bremmerās been living as Madeline Toussaint in the Batignolles district of Paris. She has a cover job as a quality engineer at a chemical plant.
Cooper: Contact Interpol. Have them issue a Red Notice for Bremmerās conditional arrest and extradition based on our charges. Then letās get a team to Paris.
Aram: Iāll go to Paris.
Cooper: I need your help with that passcode.
Aram: Well, I could look for it in Paris. You know, sidewalk cafĆ©, pot of coffee, coupleāa croissants.
Cooper: Iām on my way to Capitol Hill to ask about Rakitin. I doubt Iāll get much traction until you find out whatās on that drive.
[ Park and Ressler head out ]
Ressler: [ To Aram ] I guess thatās a no on that coffee and croissants.
Park: Weāll say hi to Mona Lisa for you.
Ā
[ Capitol Hill. Cooper is welcomed by U.S. Representative Russell Friedenberg, Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence ]
Cooper: Thank you for taking the time, Congressman.
Rep Friedenberg: Always happy to make time for the FBI. Though I am surprised there was no heads-up what you wanted to talk about. Please, sit. Take a load off and tell me what is so hush-hush I get an Assistant Director to make a house call.
Cooper: A hacker who goes by the name Rakitin.
Rep Friedenberg: Never heard of him.
Cooper: Excuse me?
Friedenberg: Anything else? Because I got a local Elks Club waiting to take a photo.
Cooper: Congressman. You chair the House Intel Committee. Iāve read your report on Russian cyber intrusion. I know you know who Rakitin is.
Friedenberg: What I know is your title. What I donāt know is what you do because no one would tell me. Yeah, I chair the Intel Committee, but for some reason, I canāt get any intel on you.
Cooper: I run a classified task force.
Friedenberg: Thatās interested in Rakitin.
Cooper: Why would that surprise you?
Friedenberg: I doesnāt. It troubles me. Rakitin has friends in high places. I want to make sure Iām not talking to one.
Cooper: Iām sorry. Iāmā Iām completely confused.
Friedenberg: Three weeks ago, the hard drive on my committeeās computer was hacked. All the intel we had on Rakitin was destroyed.
Cooper: I had no idea.
Friedenberg: My top staffer on the committee disappeared the day it happened. Vanished into thin air. And she was a patriot. A good person. But someone got to her. And if they got to her, maybe they got to you. Maybe youāre here to see what I know about Rakitin, and if I know too much, maybe youāre gonna want to erase my hard drive.
[ Cooper writes on a slip of paper, which he hands to Representative Friedenberg ]
Cooper: Hereās a name and a number. Call it. Ask about me. If youāre satisfied with what you hear, we can talk more. If not, thank you for your time.
Friedenberg: Iām sure it seems like Iām being overly paranoid.
Cooper: If we do talk, Iād like to hear more about that hack. I have some paranoia of my own about who might have been behind it.
Ā
[ Red greets a friend in a hotel service area ]
Red: Rogelio. I hear you have news.
Rogelio: A location ā and a room number.
Red: [ Reading ] Ah. [ Laughs ] A youth hostel. How unexpectedly romantic. Is there anywhere you donāt have eyes and ears?
Rogelio: I got either a maid, a waiter, a waitress, a busboy, or a bellhop in every corner of the city.
Red: Thank you, my friend. And please give my regards to Carlos.
Rogelio: Unfortunately, heās been deportedā again. And your friendās tunnel in Calexico has been shut down.
Red: Ah, the goings-on at the border. One side builds, the other shuts down. They hide, they seek, they come, they go. Itās all so ā āTom and Jerry.ā Yes, the tunnel is closed, but the submarine is fully operational. And for tracking down Alban Veseli, it will always be at your disposal.
Ā
[ Red and Dembe walk through the youth hostel ]
Red: I once had a brief dust-up with an Armenian fellow who took umbrage at my acquisition of a pipeline outside Kajaran. I tried to avoid him by hiding out in a hostel.
Dembe: You ātried.ā Did he find you?
Red: [ Chuckles ] No. But after three days of communal showers and curdled yogurt, James Taylor wannabes, I couldnāt stand it anymore. So I stole a backpack and a Fodorās Guide and hiked to Turkey through the Armenian Highlands.
Dembe: The Highlands. Mount Ararat.
Red: Yes. And FYI ā no Ark.
[ A young man sits in the hall, softly strumming a guitar ]
Red: Ah. Some things never change.
[ Shower running ]
Dembe: No cameras. No security. Smart place to lay low.
āā
[ They come to the bunk room where they expected to find Alban Veseli. No one is there ]
Red: Not here.
[ They turn around. Veseli comes out of a room marked āMenās Showers,ā wearing only a towel.
Red: Ah! [ Gun cocks ] Running in a towel never ends well. Put some pants on, and letās talk.

[ Representative Russell Friedenbergās office ]
Rep Friedenberg: I did as you suggested, Mr. Cooper. Checked up on you with Cynthia Panabaker. A straight arrow if ever there was one. She likes you.
Cooper: Does she, now?
Friedenberg: Well, she said, āHe wonāt pee on your leg and tell you itās raininā.ā
Cooper: [ Chuckles ] Sounds like Cynthia.
Friedenberg: You said before that you were looking for information about Rakitin.
Cooper: Iām curious what your committee knows about him.
Friedenberg: Not a hell of a lot, to be honest. We donāt have an I.D. Hell, Rakitin could be an entire hacker group for all we know. But heās using a series of servers in Volgograd, and he is targeting some of our most carefully guarded secrets.
Cooper: Such asā?
Friedenberg: The identities of CIA assets in Yasenevo ā their funding sources, hacks of our own internal threat assessments.
Cooper: What does he do with this intel?
Friedenberg: There are a lot of theories. NSA thinks heās a black-market profiteer. CIAās convinced heās a turncoat.
Cooper: And what do you think?
Friedenberg: Have you ever heard of N-13?
Cooper: Sleeper agent. A Russian asset who vanished during the Cold War and was never proven to exist. Itās a 30-year-old ghost story.
Friedenberg: What if itās not? What if that asset is here? Not only active and deeply embedded, but maneuvering within our intel community? I donāt know whose trust he might have gainedā CIA, Defense Intelligence ā God forbid, the FBI. But I think heās been here a long time. Long enough, heās become one of us. And heās using us.
Cooper: You think Rakitinās feeding active intel to N-13.
Friedenberg: I do.
Cooper: I think Iām the only man on this hill who may believe your ghost story about a Russian spy.
Friedenberg: Go on.
Cooper: Weāve recently intercepted a thumb drive containing sensitive intel we believe was obtained by Rakitin. I suspect he intended to deliver that drive to N-13.
Friedenberg: Why do you say that? Did anything on the drive identify N-13?
Cooper: All I can say is our source believes it was intended for someone on our Most Wanted List.
Friedenberg: Well, whoever your source is, he or she is way off base. Iām telling youā N-13 is buried deep within the U.S. government. That said, I strongly encourage you to follow up on it. Based on what I know of Rakitin, he and N-13 pose an imminent threat to national security.

[ Alban Veseliās bunk room at the youth hostel ]
Red: I must admit Iām surprised you took this contract, Alban. Iād never pretend to call us friends, but we are professional associates.
Alban Veseli: Itās a job.
Red: Unbridled resentment. Is that what this is all about? You somehow blame me for you going to prison.
Veseli: You are why I went to prison.
Red: No. You went to prison because you were caught doing a job I hired you to do. Donāt blame me for your failed cut-and-run.
Veseli: Iāve been in that box for seven years.
Red: And now youāre out. Because of Elizabeth Keen. That is why youāre aligned with her, isnāt it? You bear me resentment for your failure, and now you both want me dead?
Veseli: [ To Dembe ] Whatās he so worked up about?
Red: Talk to me about Agent Keen. Tell me where I can find her.
Veseli: No idea.
[ Dembe has found something ]
Dembe: Raymond.
[ Dembe hands a file of papers to Red ]
Red: You just flew in from Paris. What were you doing there? Taking a tour of the Temple de IāAmour? Strolling along the Canal Saint-Martin?
Veseli: What do you think? I was setting up the job.
Red: I have no plans to be in France.
Veseli: So?
Red: So how were you going to carry out your contract? [ To Dembe ] Whatās wrong with him? [ To Veseli ] How were you going to kill me?
Veseli: [ Laughs ] The contractās not on you.
Red: Who were you hired to kill?
Ā
[ Paris, France ]
[ Ressler and Park talk to two Parisian Police Officers outside an apartment building ]
Ressler: Madeline Toussaint. At least thatās the name sheās using right now. This is the address she gave her current employer.
Female Officer: If sheās here, weāre gonna have to make the provisional arrest. You can file for extradition afterward.
Park: Weāre just here for backup.
[ Knocking ] [ Door opens ] [ Conversing in French ]
Female Officer: [ In French ] Where is Madeleine Toussaint?
Personal Assistant: Whatās going on?
Female Officer: We have an international warrant for her arrest.
Personal Assistant: Madeleineās out of the country.
Female Officer: Who are you?
Personal Assistant: Iām her personal assistant. I can call her if you like.
Female Officer: Stand back. Weāre coming inside.
[ The Female Officer pushes past the Personal Assistant, followed by the other French Officer. Ressler and Park follow, but stay back ]
Female Officer: How long have you worked for Miss Toussaint?
Personal Assistant: A couple of years?
Ressler: [ English ] Where is she?
Personal Assistant: [ French ] Sheās visiting an aunt in Albania, but sheās flying back later today.
Female Officer: [ Translating ] Sheās visiting an aunt in Albania. Sheāll be back later today.
Personal Assistant: I have Madeleineās number in my phone. Iāll call her right now and you can talk to her yourself.
[ The Personal Assistant goes over to a small desk, but instead of fetching her phone, she pulls a gun out of the desk ]
Ressler: Gun!
[ The Personal Assistant shoots š„š„š„ both French Officers ]
[ Ressler and Park return fire š„š„ ] [ The Personal Assistant falls dead ]
[ Park checks the Male Officer ]
Park: Hang on. Weāll get help.
[ Ressler checks the Female Officer ]
Ressler: Sheās dead.
Ā
[ Red calls Cooper from the youth hostel ]
Red: You know how much I love I told you so, Harold, so I confirmed the fact straight from the source. Elizabeth sprung The Freelancer so she could engage his services.
Cooper: I refuse to believe that. Alban Veseli cloaks assassination in mass murder. I donāt care how far sheās slipped, Agent Keen would never use The Freelancer to kill you.
Red: Youāre half-right. She didnāt hire him to kill me. She hired him to kill Chemical Mary.
Cooper: Mary Bremmer. Why?
Red: Iām not sure. Iām hoping a slightly more creative line of questioning will persuade him to reveal his plan. But one thing is clear ā Itās already in motion.
Cooper: Resslerās at Bremmerās residence in Paris now. Sheās apparently flying back from Albania today.
āā
[ A cab pulls up to an airport in Albania. On the sidewalk a young girl pulling a rolling carry-on bag with a teddy bear perched on it walks with a woman along the sidewalk. The teddy bear falls off of the carry-on ]
āā
Red: A transcontinental flight filled with innocent passengers?
Cooper: Weāre contacting the airlines now.
āā
[ Mary Bremmer gets out of the cab. She sees the teddy bear and calls to the woman and girl ]
Mary Bremmer: [ Speaking French ] Excuse me! Your teddy bear!
[ Mary Bremmer wipes off the teddy bear and hands it to the girl ]
Mary Bremmer: Are you flying to Paris today?
Young Girl: Yes, Madam.
Mary Bremmer: Me, too.
Young Girl: Merci!
[ Mary Bremmer turns around, grabs her own carry-on and heads toward the airport entrance ]
āā
Red: Move swiftly, Harold. If Mary Bremmer boards that plane ā Iāll bet you nickels to navy beans the only way it comes down is in pieces.
Ā
[ Paris, France ] [ Ressler drives with Park ]
Cooper: [ On phone from the Post Office ] We got a hit on one of Bremmerās passports. Sheās currently en route to France on Parisian Air.
Ressler: Okay. Weāre 10 minutes from Charles de Gaulle. How long before she lands?
Cooper: About a half an hour, but we have to assume that plane wonāt land. There are 162 passengers on board, including families. And heāll kill everyone.
Park: Wait. I thought The Freelancer was going after Reddington.
Cooper: Thatās what we all thought.
[ Aram is on a call with the airline ]
Aram: [ To Cooper ] Alright. The airlineās confirming that Bremmerās on the boarded-passenger manifest.
Park: So Keenās taking out a chemical arms trader ā Air hugs for that ā But sheās gonna waste a plane full of passengers in the process?
Cooper: Have the airport authority prepare for contingencies ā Rescue units, medics. You know the routine.
Aram: [ On phone to airport tower ] Okay. Thank you. [ To Cooper ] Uh, Iāve got the tower.
Cooper: [ To Ressler and Park ] Iāve got air-traffic control on the line. Call me when youāre on site.
Ressler: Copy that.
[ Beepš
] [ Call between Cooper and Ressler and Park ends ]
Ā
[ Cooper is heard over the speaker to Air Traffic Control at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris ]
Cooper: Hello. This is Harold Cooper. Iām the Assistant Director of the FBI calling from Washington, D.C.
Stephan Gervais: Stephan Gervais. ATC Supervisor. Whatās going on?
Cooper: We have a credible threat that someoneās trying to bring down Parisian Air flight 2419.
Stephan Gervais: Really? How?
Cooper: Well, we donāt know that yet, Stephan. We need your help figuring it out.
Stephan Gervais: Parisian Air 2-4-1 niner. Are you currently experiencing any problems or equipment malfunctions?
Female Pilot: Negative, Tower. Everything is showing normal at this time.
Gervais: Anything unusual show up in your preflight checklist?
Pilot: Nothing. May I ask why?
Gervais: [ To Pilot ] Switch to discrete frequency 133.6.
[š
Beepingš
]
Gervais: What do you want me to tell them? Should they be looking for a bomb?
Cooper: Suspect engages in terrorist activities disguised as accidents. Itās doubtful heād use explosives.
[ Aram has photos of Veseli on the plane from earlier ]
Aram: [ To Cooper ] Okay, he was physically on that plane. Airport security has footage of him entering the cabin along with the cleaning crew.
Pilot: Tower, is there anything we should be worried about up here? Weāve just begun our descent.
Gervais: Stand by. One moment. [ To Cooper ] They just started their descent.
Aram: [ To Cooper ] The instrument panel.
Cooper: What about it?
Aram: Seven years ago, Veseli derailed a passenger trail by making it hit a curve too fast.
āā
[ Flashback: ]
[ Passenger train horn blares š ] [ The train comes speeding down the track. Going too fast to make a turn, it flips on itās side and ā”ļøā”ļøscreechesā”ļøā”ļøsparks flyingā”ļøā”ļø ā¦ ]
Man: Clear! Clear out!
[ People near the tracks run to escape from the š„flaming trainš„ ]
āā
Aram: He did that by rigging the two speed-data sources in the control cabin to show the train traveling at a slower speed than its actual rate.
Cooper: [ To Stephan Gervais ] Can your pilots check their controls for signs of tampering?
Stephan Gervais: Parisian Air 2-4-1 niner, itās possible your flight controls have been physically compromised. Can you take a careful look around?
Pilot: Roger. Stand by, Tower.
[ The Pilot nods to the First Officer who gets up ] [ The young girl with the teddy bear is laughing ] [ The First Officer removes the cover of the instrument panel and sees the thumb drive that Alban Veseli had left there earlier ]
First Officer: There is a thumb drive here.
Pilot: We got something. Someone left a thumb drive inside the Data Loader.
Stephan Gervais: Thereās a panel inside the cockpit for software and database updates. Someone left a thumb drive inside.
Aram: [ To Cooper ] Which could be corrupting their instruments or running its own scripts. ā Oh, no.
Cooper: You said the planeās making its approach. Are your tracking systems showing anything unusual?
Stephan Gervais: Our GPS system is based entirely on information transmitted to us from the aircraft. If that plane isnāt where it should be right now, we would not know it from down here.
Aram: [ To the Tower ] Okay, that data stick wasnāt left there by accident. It is a brute-force attack. Take it out! Take it out now!
Stephan Gervais: Parisian Air 2-4-1 niner. Remove the drive from the Data Loader. I repeat! Remove the drive!
Pilot: Copy, Tower. [ Speaks French to the First Officer ]
[ The First Officer pulls out the thumb drive ] [ *Click* ]
[ šØAlarm blaringšØ ]
Computer (Automated voice): Warning. Warning.
[ Passengers screaming ] [ Cabin bell dinging š

Computer (Automated voice): Warning.
Pilot: Autopilot off! Flight directors off.
[ Engines whining ] [ Plane lurching ] [ Passengers screaming ] [ Oxygen masks fall ]
[ šØAlarm blaringšØ ]
[ The First Officer rushes back to his seat ] [ Passengers put their masks on ]
Aram: Whatās going on?
Stephan Gervais: [ To Aram ] Theyāre too low. [ To the cockpit ] Immediate right turn! Heading 2-3-zero! Traffic is directly in front of you!
Pilot: I have control!
[ Another plane approaches at the same altitude ] [ The Pilot makes a sharp right turn ]
[ The two planes narrowly avoid colliding ]
[ Engines winding down ]
[ šØAlarm blaringšØ ] [ Blaring stops ]
Stephan Gervais: [ Sighs ]
Pilot: Ladies and gentlemen, Iām terribly sorry for that sudden shift in altitude. We obviously had an incident, but we are safe and on course and will be landing shortly.
[ Laughter and applause ]
Aram: Whatās happening?! Uh, areā are they dying?
Stephan Gervais: No, sir. I believe those are cries of celebration.
Pilot: Tower. Parisian Air 2-4-1 niner. We are clear of the traffic and climbing to 8,000. We will be beginning our approach for landing.
Ā
[ Charles de Gaulle Airport ] [ Ressler and Park wait as the passengers from the flight disembark and file by. They do not spot Mary Bremmer ]
[ Woman on P.A. speaking French ]
[ Finally, the last person is the Pilot ]
Ressler: Excuse me. A passenger. Mary Bremmer?
Pilot: Oh, thatās it. Thatās everyone.
Park: Are you sure?
Pilot: Feel free to take a look, but I checked the cabins personally. Thereās no one left on the plane.
Ā
[ Cooperās office. Red and Cooper sip Scotch ]
Cooper: Mary Bremmer was not ever on that plane. She made it to the airport, but she was abducted outside the terminal.
Red: What about the passenger manifest? You said it showed her on board.
Cooper: Shortly after Bremmer was taken, an unidentified woman entered the terminal with her passport and ticket, which was slipped into the purse of an unsuspecting passenger at the gate. The unidentified woman then left the terminal, and the passenger boarded the flight as Bremmer.
[ Katie Garfieldās ā« āItās a Long Way Downā plays ]
[ ⬠Go to Full Lyrics ] or [ ⪠Tap square below to play ⪠]
[ Cooper brings up the surveillance feed of the waiting area. There is a woman with long, wavy dark hair wearing a knit cap ]
Red: This āunidentified woman.ā She look familiar to you?
Cooper: These are the best images we could pull, but, yes ā we believe itās Keen.
Red: So, Elizabeth conducted an operatic performance, getting an assassin out of prison, elaborately sabotaging a commercial airliner, only to snatch her target from the jaws of death at the last second?
Cooper: Perhaps she wanted the world to believe Bremmer died in that crash.
Red: [ Sighs ] To what end? I canāt fathom. Itās more likely Elizabeth wanted Bremmer to think she saved her life, which would put Bremmer in Elizabethās debt.
Cooper: Whatever theyāre working on, weāre gonna make it as difficult as possible. Our people are combing through Bremmerās flat in Paris and have IDād a number of associates. Teams are en route as we speak.
āā
[ Associates of Mary Bremmer are rounded up ] [ Indistinct shouting ]
āā
Cooper: I still canāt get over the fact that Elizabeth was willing to let The Freelancer crash two planes.
āā
[ More people are rounded up ] [ Indistinct shouting ]
āā
Cooper: I was holding out hope for her. We all were. But now? It seems sheās past the point of no return.
āā
[ The research lab where Mary Bremmerās team developed the chemical weapons is raided ]
ā FBI!
ā Turn around! Give me your hands!
āā
āŖ And the flames keep rising āŖ
Red: Iāll try to leave the moralizing to you, Harold.
āŖ Ash and smoke choke the horizon āŖ
Red: In the meantime, perhaps this will ease your pain.
[ Red gives Cooper a piece of paper ]
Red: Tell Donald to pay a visit to this address.
Cooper: What is this?
Red: Your team worked very hard to put The Freelancer behind bars the first time around. I think thatās probably the right place for him.
āŖ Caught up in my old lies
Itās a long way down āŖ
Red: Thank you for the Scotch.
[ Red leaves ]
āŖ Itās a long way down
Itās a long way down āŖ

[ Ressler and Park raid the address given to Cooper by Red ]
Guitarist: Whoa, whoa. Easy, brah. The man in the hat said the popo would be here.
[ Across from the Guitarist, tied and his mouth duck-taped, sits Alban Veseli (The Freelancer) ]
āŖ Itās a long way down āŖ
Park: Why does this feel like an empty victory?
Ressler: Because this guy has no idea what Keenās up to with Chemical Mary.
āā
[ Mary Bremmer is locked behind a guarded door, banging on it ]
Mary: Open this door right now! I want to see her! Where is she?! The woman! I want to talk to her! Do you hear me?! Ugh! Open this door right now! I want to see her!
Ā
[ The hotel service area ]
Rogelio: Angela is the one you were asking about. Sheās the one who told me that Veseli was at the hostel.
Red: Angela, I canāt thank you enough. I just have one question. I need to know how you came by this valuable information.
Rogelio: [ Speaking Spanish ] Itās alright, Angela. You did nothing wrong.
Angela: It was ā a woman.
[ Dembe hold up a photo of Liz ]
Dembe: This woman?
Angela: Ah. I, uh, asked her how she know that I was looking for him. She wouldnāt say.
Red: Gracias.
[ Angela leaves ]
Red: Oh, and your cousin Carlos. Iām told heās somewhere under the Gulf of Mexico as we speak.
Rogelio: Muchas gracias, Raymond. If thereās anything I can do for youā
Red: Youāve done more than you know. And all to the good.
[ Rogelio leaves ]
āā
Red: Well, thatās a load off.
Dembe: Elizabeth wanted you to find The Freelancer.
Red: Yeah.
Dembe: Knowing that when we did, weād work with the FBI to stop him from crashing that plane. So she hires a lawyer to obtain Veseliās freedom, pays Veseli to crash a plane, uses the threat of that crash to gain Chemical Maryās trust, gives us intel to keep the plane from going down. Sounds like one of your plans.
Red: It does, doesnāt it? She may not be interested in crashing a plane, but sheās still in business with a war criminal. Tomorrowās problem. Tonight, we savor the small victory. And we should tell Edward to fuel the jet. We need to pay our friend in Moscow a visit.

[ Cooperās office ]
[ Footsteps approach ]
Aram: Uh, hi. Um, sir, uh, sorry toā Itās, uh, late, and, uh, youāre drinking ā alone ā Uh, which isā which is, fine. I mean, I canā
Cooper: What is it?
Aram: Good news on the passcode.
Cooper: You cracked it.
Aram: What? Oh, uh, no. Uh, that would be great news, like miraculously great. No. Uh, the good news is I figured out how to crack it. With this.
[ Aram holds up a flat metal device with a short cable ]
Aram: I donāt think Rakitin chose a steel flash drive to protect his software. If Iām right, thereās a capacitive scanner hidden in the flash drive. It is the best security platform in passwordless identification.
Cooper: So thereās no password.
Aram: Itās biometric. And that is where this comes in. Get the print, put it in, and ā [ Whistles ] ā open sesame. Or, um, you know, some less politically incorrect exclamation.
Cooper: So all I need is a fingerprint.
Aram: Yeah. And that is where the miracle comes in. Figuring out whose print to use.
Cooper: Thank you, Aram. Hereās hoping for a miracle.
[ Aram leaves. Cooper eyes the Scotch glass left on his desk by Red ]

[ Moscow, Russia ]
[ A waiter pours a shot of Vodka for Redās liaison, his āFriend in the Eastā ]
[ Red arrives ]
[ Conversing in Russian ]
Eastern Friend: Raymond! Sit down. Warm up..
[ The waiter pours Vodka for Red ]
Red: Thank you.
[ A toast ]
Red: To health. [āØClinkāØ]
Eastern Friend: Thank you for coming. We have much to discuss.
āā
[ Cooper picks up Redās used Scotch glass with a plastic glove. There is a clear print on the glass ]
āā
Eastern Friend: I am told Rakitin is in play.
Red: My safe deposit box was compromised.
āā
[ Cooper uses a piece of tape to lift the print from the glass ]
āā
Eastern Friend: The flash drive I entrusted you with?
Red: Iām still looking for it.
Eastern Friend: No doubt we have Elizabeth Keen to thank for it going missing.
Red: My position in regard to her has not changed.
āā
[ Cooper lays the tape with the print on the biometric reader Aram gave him ]
āā
Eastern Friend: I understand. She is untouchable. But you must understand ā Harold Cooper is not.
āā
[ Redās print satisfies the security needed to open the files on the thumb drive. Russian language text scrolls across Cooperās laptop screen ]
Cooper: Will miracles never cease?
āā
Eastern Friend: If he gains access to the Rakitin files, youāll have to eliminate him.
Red: I understand.
