Brief: Season 5 ended with a mad chase between Liz and Red to claim a duffel bag of bones. At the end of the chase, Red walked away with the prize ~ the answer to a secret he has been trying to keep from Liz. In the course of the series, many people have died trying to get the duffel to Liz and keep it away from Red, including, most importantly, her husband Tom and Mr Kaplan, Red’s cleaner and Liz’s one-time nanny. Red takes the duffel to the homestead of Liz’s maternal grandfather Dom, an infamous former KGB operative once known by the codename Oleander. Liz’s mother also was a KGB spy. Liz once met Dom but he and Red have kept her relationship with Dom a secret. At Dom’s homestead, Red has incinerated the skeleton, with Dom remarking, “She may not know your secret, but she knows you’ve got one. She’s never gonna let it go.”

However, unbeknownst to Red and Dom, Liz has collaborated with her half-sister Jennifer (also by Raymond Reddington) to purloin the duffel bag before he claimed it. In addition to the skeleton, it contains a DNA report which identifies the bones as being those of ~ Raymond Reddington! This is the big secret. The man we have known as Raymond “Red” Reddington appears to be an imposter! Liz and Jennifer have just one goal now: to find out who the man is who assumed the identity of Raymond Reddington 30 years ago – and to exact their revenge.

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: Aram and Samar are “♫ At Last” engaged. Never mind that she said “Yes” before he proposed, the serious problem they face now is she is in a coma after nearly drowning in a submerged van before Aram rescued her. Time will tell if she will wake up or ever be able to breathe on her own again.

Speaking of time, Red and Liz are in the final sprint to recover the duffel bag containing a skeleton that Mr Kaplan intended to be delivered to Liz but Tom intercepted and was killed for his trouble. Both Red and Liz know who has the duffel bag, though Red knows the true identity of the man who has it (Sutton Ross) and Liz only has a pseudonym (Max Birmingham). US Marshall and dirty cop Ian Garvey, who killed Tom for the duffel bag to wield power over Red, managed to deliver it to Ross before he himself was killed by Liz in a showdown between Garvey and Red that got out of hand. Sutton Ross is an enemy of Red’s who Garvey “disappeared” into Witness Protection and Red has thought was dead.

Liz has no idea what is in the duffel bag, and Red intends to keep it that way. Liz believes the duffel contains a secret of Red’s that Mr Kaplan wanted her to know. But, given the choice between going with Kaplan or staying with Red, in last year’s Finale, Liz chose Red, an act that resulted in a series of events ending in Mr Kaplan’s suicide. If Liz had learned the secret, would she have chosen differently? The yearlong quest will come to a climax in this Season Finale.

 

[ Men dressed in FBI uniforms, led by Sutton Ross, enter the offices of Veritable Robotics in Richmond VA. They march right past the receptionist ]
Secretary: Can I help you?
[ The men get into an elevator ]
Sutton Ross: Walter Reardon?

Reardon: Who are you?
Ross: I’m Special Agent Vernon Duquesne, FBI. You’re under arrest. [ To his men ] Take everything! … I want it all vouchered as evidence.
Reardon: Evidence of what?
Ross: Market manipulation … , wire fraud, money laundering. You and your lawyer have all the time in the world to read the indictment before the arraignment.

Holt Campbell: His lawyer’s right here. Holt Campbell. Veritable’s general counsel. You want to tell me what the hell is going on?
[ Ross hands him papers ]
Ross: Arrest and search warrants signed by the U.S. Duty Magistrate. …
[ The men push past with boxes ]
Campbell: Those documents contain trade secrets we’ve spent millions to acquire and protect.
[ Dialing ] Call Judge Kerr’s chambers. … This is Holt Campbell at Veritable Robotics. … Your boss signed warrants to search our offices and arrest our CFO. Really? Well, if he didn’t sign them, why am I holding the paperwork?
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 
[ Campbell rushes out onto a loading dock. Walter Reardon is cuffed to a
pole. Bankers boxes are stacked nearby ]
Reardon: Hey, call the FBI, the real FBI.
Campbell: What happened?
Reardon: Nothing. Whoever they were, they left everything behind. I want to know why.

[ The hospital where Samar is being treated. She is unconscious, hooked up to a ventilator ]
Nurse: What are you doing?
Aram: She’s shivering.
Nurse: She’s supposed to be cold. … She is suffering
from cerebral ischemia. Cooling her protects her brain while she heals.
Aram: Right. By decreasing the brain’s demand for oxygen, you reduce neurotransmitter production
like glutamate. …
Nurse: I’m just following protocol. Are you her husband? …
Aram: I’m her fiancé. Granted, I proposed while she was unconscious.
Nurse: Do you have power of attorney?
Aram: No, but–
Nurse: Then I’m gonna have to ask you to step aside. …
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 

Liz: The man we’re looking for is Sutton Ross. In the ’80s, when a company or a country wanted to steal R&D rather than develop it, Ross and his team stole it for them.
Ressler: Didn’t he steal R&D on a stealth fighter for China?
Liz: A defective stealth fighter called the Grayscape Seventeen. The Navy … made sure he stole plans for a plane that couldn’t fly, and when it crashed, China … turned him over to the feds, who issued an arrest warrant, and Ross disappeared.
Cooper: Until showing up in Costa Rica under the alias “Max Birmingham.”
Ressler: So, why would Garvey give him the bag?
Liz: Because when Ross went AWOL, Garvey was the Marshal assigned to arrest him, and instead of bringing him in, Garvey ended up protecting him. …
Ressler: Any idea where Ross is now?
Liz: Yes. … Ross and a dozen suspects posing as FBI agents showed up to a robotics company yesterday, waving phony warrants.
Cooper: So the guy holding Reddington’s secret is stealing tech from a robotics company?
Liz: Yes and no. The police report says he stole it, and then left it all behind.
Cooper: Nobody robs a company for kicks. Get there. …

[ Bell chimes ] [ Red and Dembe enter a tailor shop where a man is being fitted for a suit ]
Red: Ah, what a lovely shop. You certainly look busy as a beaver.
Lundgren: I’m with a client.
Red: Yes, and I’m terribly sorry for the intrusion, but I
need a moment of your time. It’s about a customer.
Lundgren: Remind me, were we doing side tabs or traditional belt loops?
Red: Oh, go for the side tabs. They keep you honest in the midsection.
Lundgren: I’m sorry, sir, but as you can see, we are in the middle of a fitting.
Red: Yes, I understand. Oh, my gosh! You’re– [ Laughing ] Oh, dear. I am such a fan.
John Waters [ Playing himself ]: Why, thank you. Thank you.
Red: Your films, your writing, your artwork. I can’t believe this. … You probably get this all the time, but I must tell you, I absolutely adore–
Waters: “Pink Flamingos”?
Red: Well, yes, but your Christmas show. … I have to tell you, it was one of the most surprisingly warm,
incredibly nostalgic, funny evenings in my memory.
Waters: Well, look at you. What a sweet man.
Red: [ Laughing ] That story about the squirrel – the one with the tiny nuts. Oh, my God.
Waters:
[ Chuckles ] Yeah, yeah. … Red:
[ Shows a photo to Lundgren ] Your client, Sutton Ross – I’ve fallen out of touch with him over the years, but I do need to find him right away.
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 

Campbell: Every document taken from Reardon’s office was returned.
Liz: That means they targeted Reardon as a way of getting into the office.
Campbell: Not just the office. … Three of the hard drives are missing. They contain Ravi [Desai]’s personal
research on something called the Rafferty Project.
Liz: Have you spoken to Mr. Desai?
Campbell: We’ve called and left messages, but we haven’t been able to reach him. His kids are off from school, so he took vacation time. …
Ressler: All right, well, we’re going to need access to your backup servers.
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 

Aram: [ On phone ] First of all, I want to thank you. … You distracted me. Right now, that is exactly what I need – the doctors, too. It keeps me from telling them what to do.
Liz: Are you telling them what to do?
Aram: Only when I think what they’re doing is wrong, so, like, all the time. Except now. Right now, I’m thinking
about Ravi Desai. … I’ve been a huge fan ever since he won the I-EEE Robotics and Automation Award as a PhD student at Brown. …
Ressler: So does that mean that you know what the Rafferty Project is?
Aram: Well, the backup files indicate that it’s some kind
of exoskeleton, a manned robot designed to help people go into hazardous areas.
Ressler: That’s an idea that Ross could sell for a fortune on the open market.
Aram: Well, maybe, but the idea is all he’d be selling. Whoever buys these drives will not be able to build one. … [T]he files are all snippets of ideas and partial
equations. I mean, Desai could build a robot from them, but no one else could …
Ressler: Well, we need to get to Desai and lock him down before Ross grabs him.
Aram: Oh, well, that shouldn’t be hard. He’s at a matinee with his kids. … I follow him on Instagram, and he just posted a picture with them on his way to a show at the Kittredge Theater.

[ Outside the Kittredge Theatre ]
Ross: I want all three.
Ross’s Guy: The kids, too?
Ross: Insurance, in case Mr. Desai is not in the mood to cooperate. …

Lundgren: Please, Mr Ross is very powerful. If I tell you how to find him, if he knew that I told you, he would come for me.
Red: Hm. No matter how powerful you think Sutton Ross might be, if you don’t
help me–
Waters: Oh, my God. That’s it! You’re the guy! The one with the name. I-It’s not a palindrome or or a rhyme. It’s that lovely last name with the alliteration.
Red: [ Laughs ]
Waters: It’s– No, no. Don’t say it. Don’t say it out loud. It’s P- Paddington. Uh, Raddington. Or Rafael. Rayburn. Or Rufus- Rufus- Reddington.
Lundgren: You’re Raymond Reddington?
Waters: Yes! Raymond Reddington! I told you not to say it. Raymond Reddington. Wow. What a name. What a man. And people think I’m weird.
Red: [ Laughs ]
Lundgren: Please, all I know is where I send the invoices for my work.
Red: Well? …

Desai: [ To his kids ] I’ll be right back.

Liz: [ On phone ] … What?!
Red: You need to leave Ross to me. …
Liz: As soon as I get the duffel bag, he’s all yours.
Red: You need to pull over.
Liz: You’re a fugitive. I’m a cop. You get in my way, I swear to God, I’ll arrest you.

[ Red runs up to Liz in her vehicle. She has a gash on her forehead and is dazed ]
Red: Let me look at you. Come here.
Liz: [ Groggily ] Raymond Reddington, you’re under arrest.
Red: Ah, that’s a deep cut. You’ll need stitches.
Liz: You have the right to an attorney.
Red: Yeah.
Liz: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you.
[ Red gives Liz a handkerchief for her forehead ]
Red: Keep pressure on it. I’ll call you an ambulance.
Liz: I’ll get you for this.
Red: You’ll try, but there’s a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore, looking like an idiot.
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 
Ressler: [ On phone ] You arrested Reddington?
Liz: I was too dazed to actually arrest him. And he let Ross go to make sure I was okay.
Ressler: Hit me, hug me. Reddington’s moral code in a nutshell. …
Well, Reddington shot a couple of Ross’s guys. I mean, we got a cellphone, but it’s locked. We need the access code.
Maybe there’s another way. …
[ Ressler presses the dead man’s finger to the home button on his cellphone ]
Ressler: It’s a burner. No e-mails, call logs, or contacts. Just one text sent to an international number.

Cooper: [ Reads ] “Winchester. 1500. AM.”

Brimley’s Voice: I know you work for Ross, Hey, look at me!
Dembe: The truth always comes out.
Red: It better, or we’re not gonna find Sutton Ross.
Dembe: I’m talking about your truth. It was bound to surface. Ross wants blood. He thinks you ruined his life.
Red: I didn’t give Sutton Ross bogus plans for the
[ Chuckles ] Grayscape Seventeen.
Dembe: But he thinks you did, and because of that, he wants the world to know what’s inside the duffel.

[ Brimley emerges ]
Brimley: This guy’s lips are sealed tighter than a bull’s ass in fly season. I’m gonna need another couple of bags of hickory briquettes and a squirt gun. …
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 
Aram: All right, the message was sent to a cell with an international number. 0-1-1 is the U.S. exit code and 3-8-1 is the country code for Serbia. … [A]fter Ravi Desai got his PhD, two robotics companies wanted to hire him. One was Veritable, the other AXG Robotics.
Ressler: A Serbian company?
Aram: And Homeland says two of their execs landed in Dulles this morning. …
Ressler: How does that get you the where and when Ross is giving them Desai? …
Aram: “AM” isn’t a time – it’s a place. A neighborhood in D.C., Adams Morgan. And in Adams Morgan is the old Winchester Pharmaceutical Plant.

Liz: So, 1500 is the time – 3:00 p.m.
Cooper: Did the Serbians list the hotel where they’re staying while in town?
Aram: Uh, yes. The Metro Suites downtown. Why?
Cooper: This whole mess started with a bunch of criminals pretending to be FBI agents. Maybe we should return the favor.

Brimley: It’s done.
Red: Did he talk?
Brimley: Like Whoopi on “The View.” Yaketty-yak, all about the Rafferty Project.
Red: And the duffel bag?
Brimley: Never heard of it.
Red: What about Ross?
Brimley: Meeting a client at the old Winchester Pharmaceutical Plant at 3:00.
Dembe: What is the Rafferty Project?
Red: I don’t know what it is, but I know what it means. Ross is on to the next job, and the duffel may already be gone. …

Morgan: We’re in position.
Red: I want Ross and his hostage.
Morgan: Ready on your signal.

[ Sutton Ross walks with a metal briefcase up to a man
waiting ]
Ross: The drives were useless without the engineer who programmed them. Getting him doubles the price. Of
course, I can only deliver the actual mind. Accessing
what’s inside it is your job.
[ Desai walks over with his kids ]
⋘⋙
[ Red, through the binoculars, suddenly sees that the man talking to Ross is Ressler ]
Red: [ Over his phone to Morgan ] Wait. Hold, hold, hold, hold.

Ravi Desai: Please, I’m begging you. Let my children go.

Red: Stand down. Abort.

[ Ressler walks toward an SUV with Desai and his kids ]
Ressler: [ Low voice, to Desai and his kids ] Don’t stop. Just keep walking. Everything’s gonna be fine. When that door opens, you get in and you stay down.
As soon as Desai and his kids are safe are safe inside the SUV,
Ressler and the SWAT team attack.
Ressler: [ Loudly ] Get on the ground! FBI! Hands on your head! On the ground now.
[ Ross and his men obey ]

[ An interrogation room at the Post Office ]
Liz: Kidnapping, impersonating an officer, theft of trade secrets.
Ressler: And that’s even before we talk about the plans for the stealth fighter that you sold to China. Now, last time I checked, we still execute people for treason.
Liz: Ian Garvey gave you a duffel bag.
Sutton Ross: I know who you are. … You’re Elizabeth Keen.
Liz: You help us, we’ll help you.
Ross: Oh, you’ll help me, all right. And I have demands. … [N]o cameras. No audio recordings. Just you and me.
Liz: Why are you doing this?
Ross: Because I’ve looked in the bag.
Liz: Five minutes.
Ressler: Liz–
Liz: I’ll be fine.
Ressler: Five minutes. Not a second more.
[ Ressler leaves ]
Liz: So?
Ross: You may want to sit, Agent Keen.

[ Cooper’s office ]
Red: I want Ross.
Cooper: I know. I’m not giving him to you.
Red: It was a clever ruse, detaining the Serbians
and inserting Ressler in their place.
Cooper: I’m on Elizabeth’s side on this.
Red: Yes, clearly. So allow me to put a fine point on the
cost of that decision. The duffel bag is mine. Its contents are personal. I want my privacy respected. You and Agent Keen are not honoring that, so I see no reason to honor our agreement.
Cooper: What agreement is that?
Red: Mine with the Task Force. It’s a simple ultimatum. I get Ross or the Blacklist ends. …

Cooper: What the hell happened?
Ressler: Ross has Keen hostage, doors locked …
Cooper: Contact HRT. Get an emergency-response team in here. …
[ Cellphone rings ]
Cooper: It’s him. Calling on Keen’s cell.
Ross: Okay. Here’s how this works. Do as I say or Agent Keen dies.
Liz: Aah! Don’t listen to him! If you breach from the
observation – …
Cooper: Mr Ross, you’re locked in an FBI blacksite. You’re in no position to make demands.
Ross: And yet, I am confident you will meet them. I want
two CZ 75s and a police caravan to escort me and Agent Keen in 15 minutes.
Ressler: Escort you where?
Ross: That’s the fun part. You’ll have to wait to find out.
Red: You need to breach that room, right now.
Cooper: HRT is trying to make contact with Keen’s cell as we speak. …
Red: He’s not gonna make contact. He’s not interested in negotiating.
Cooper: What do you suggest we do?
Red: Cut the power, blow the door, stun grenades followed by CS gas, and extract.
Ressler: How can you be sure that he doesn’t kill Keen before we get to him?
Cooper: You can’t. It’s a calculated risk.

Ressler: Last name’s Schay.
Aram: All right, Schay, Schay. Come on. Okay, Schay. Charlie, interim security. His badge was swiped two minutes ago at door 32C.
Cooper: South wing, first floor.
Ressler: On my way.

Ross: Move! Move!
[ Ross and Liz come to a door with a keypad and can’t card out ]
Cooper: [ Over intercom ] That’s far enough. That badge belongs to an employee with interim security.
You need a passcode to get out.
Ross: Then give me one.

Red: You can’t do that.
Ross: You don’t think I’ll shoot her? Give me a code! …
Liz: Don’t listen to him. He’s bluffing.
Red: She’s right. He’s bluffing.
Cooper: Maybe, but if you’re wrong, Keen is
dead. [ Beep; phone on ] I’m not going to open that door. I have
men on their way to you right now. Stand down.
Ross: Three –
Red: I’m not wrong. He’s bluffing.
Cooper: You don’t know that!
Ross: Two –
Red: Harold, if you give him that code, it’s unlikely you’ll ever see Agent Keen again.
Ross: One!

Aram: Look, I’m sorry. He was going to shoot her.
Cooper: Agent Mojtabai is not the reason she’s in danger. [ To Red: ] You are. You’re the only reason she’s ever been in danger.
If you’re as interested in her safety as you profess, the best thing you can do is stay away from her.

Dembe: Agent Keen.

Aram: I’m up on the phone. As soon as I get a hard trace, I’ll call it in. [ Beeps ]

Dembe: Top 10 is on the move.
[ Red walks past the pay phone and takes a paper bag out of a waste receptacle ]
[ Cellphone beeps ]
Red: Yeah?
Ross: Mr. Reddington, is that a tail I see watching you?
Ressler: Hey, Aram, you getting this?
Aram: I’ve got the pay phone tapped, not the burner. I have no way to access that line.
Red: You knew I couldn’t get here without the feds keeping a close watch. They’re rather protective of Agent Keen. But if you’re half as
smart as you think you are, I’m sure you have a plan as to how we can lose them.
[ Red tosses the burner phone and enters a building ]
Ressler: Where the hell’s he going?
Aram: Okay, pulling CCTV feeds now.
Dembe: Raymond is letting them take him.
Aram: What do you mean “letting”?
Dembe: For Elizabeth. …
[ Dembe gets out of his vehicle and goes on foot ]
Ressler: Dembe, what are you doing? …

They didn’t because they thought I deserved to know, but I don’t. [ Sighs ] Whatever this is, it’s yours. I should have respected that. The only reason we’re here is because I didn’t. [ Voice breaking ] And I’m so sorry.
Red: You have nothing to apologize for. Not to me, ever.

Red: My life for hers. That was the agreement. Let her go.
Ross: Take her in the back.
Liz: No, no, no. No, no, no, no! [ Sobbing ] Aah!
[ She’s taken away ]
Red: You don’t need to hurt her anymore.

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: As Dickens might have said, ‘Ian Garvey is dead as a door-mail.’ So is Red’s ex, Naomi Hyland. Red asked Lilly (Red’s daughter, born Jennifer, who now goes by the name Lillian May Roth) to take him to see Naomi. Lilly said she first had some questions for Red, particularly, why he abandoned her and her mother on Christmas Eve in 1990. Red replied that he had had to cut ties to keep his enemies away from them.

Red: In 1990, the KGB and the CIA had almost nothing in common except the mutual determination to hunt down one individual.
Lilly: You.
Red: Being a fugitive from American law enforcement is a lot easier than being a fugitive from the two most powerful nations on Earth. And anyone close to a target of theirs becomes a target themselves.

The reason both the KGB And CIA were hunting him, Red said, was that he had discovered The Cabal, the insidious international secret organization he had “stumbled across and tried to destroy. To prevent that, they tried to destroy me.”

After their discussion, Lilly took Red to see her mother – in a cemetery. Naomi was shot and killed leaving her apartment in 2017. Lilly asked Red to never contact her again. Red agreed.

Red had hoped Naomi might be able to help him locate the duffel bag containing a skeleton that he is desperately trying to locate before Liz does. At least half a dozen people have already died over this pursuit, including Tom, Liz’s husband. Red’s remaining lead is an associate of Ian Garvey’s, a young man named Judson, who has told Red that Garvey took the duffel bag on a flight to Costa Rica and came back without it. Red and Dembe were about to fly in Red’s jet to Costa Rica when Liz showed up. She quickly surmised the reason behind the planned trip. But she also has an urgent reason for intervening – Samar has been abducted and Red’s help is deemed critical to locating her.

Cooper: By torturing him?
Red: In my experience, conventional torture doesn’t yield much truth. Which is why I employ a man with a more holistic approach to enhanced interrogation. … What else do you know about her abductor?
Ressler: He’s not part of the New Haven cult.
Whoever he is, he was contracted. …
Cooper: Have the FBI Financial Fraud Unit locate Moore’s accounts. …

Smokey: Don’t know the what, but got the skinny on the why. … The owner runs some kind of monthly auction – some legit items, some black book. Apparently, he’s not particular. … [I]f Garvey came here with that bag of yours, it’s up for auction, too. …
Red: I want you to secure an invitation to the party. … Call me when it’s confirmed.

honor it.
Cooper: Can you reach out to your associate?

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: Red made a deal with opium supplier Zarak Mosadek to have him cut his cartel’s supply to Ian Garvey’s Nash Syndicate unless Garvey gave Red the duffel bag containing a skeleton that Red is trying to keep from Liz. But Mosadek double-crossed Red, instructing Garvey to instead kill Red when he turned up to get the duffel bag. The FBI found out about the plot via a bug that Liz planted on Lilly (or Jennifer, Red’s other daughter and half-sister). Lilly confronted Garvey with the information about Garvey’s crimes that Liz had told her about and challenged him to deny them. She had known Garvey only as a “good man” who had saved her from Red and gotten her into witness protection. Ever since the Christmas Even when Red disappeared (12/24/1990), Garvey had acted as a surrogate father to Lilly. Garvey denied the crimes Liz told Lilly about (his drug connections and murdering Tom), but told her he planned to rid the world of Raymond Reddington at a meeting planned for the next day.

The FBI told Red about the double-cross and Red then pulled off a double-double-cross by turning his associate Tony Pagliaro into an exact replicate of Garvey (using the skills of Raleigh Sinclair, who can put a person in two places at once). The fake Garvey showed up to the meetup between Red and Mosadek and killed Mosadek. Law enforcement ID’d the killer to the public as Garvey. Meanwhile, Red and Dembe had captured the real Garvey, but he caused a car crash and escaped, and headed to Pete’s Tavern, to get help fleeing law enforcement from Lilly. Liz headed there, too, and was arresting Garvey but he forestalled her saying he could tell her the story of what was in the duffel bag. That’s when Red – using location info Aram provided from the bug – showed up and threatened to kill Garvey if he uttered even “one article” about the duffel bag. Liz then turned her gun on Red, insisting Garvey tell the story. Lilly got in-between Red and Garvey, begging Red to spare Garvey and telling Red she was Jennifer, his long-lost daughter. Red, though stunned, told Dembe to remove Jennifer from the line of fire. But Garvey pulled his gun and shot, hitting Red and wounding him. Liz then shot Garvey three times in the chest, wounds that appear to be fatal.

Judson: Look, Garvey knew you were closing in. A few weeks before he died, I took him to the airport. He had the bag with him when he went, and when I picked him up after, it was gone.
Red: Where did he go?
Judson: [ Sighs ] Costa Rica. You want the duffel, that’s where it is.

Aram: “The Age of Contagion” is a little-known paperback written by Nicholas T Moore in 1971. It tells the story of a group who survive a plague that nearly wipes out civilization. …
Ressler: Everything we’ve learned from the girl, WP Frost, it’s all in this guy’s book?
Aram: New Haven, the rhyolite, the warnings about leaving camp. …
If these people are actually isolationists like the characters in the book, then they think that we are infected. And according to the book, once you’re infected, the only way you can be purified is by burning in some giant, furnace-like fire.
Cooper: Which is what they’ll do–
Liz: The girl.
Aram: And Samar. … .

Aram: Sir. Sir, I think I found something. Okay, so Jane Doe was found along a remote stretch of road in New Hampshire. WP Frost was found 46 miles to the south.
Cooper: Both in Grafton County.
Aram: Yes, which is important because Moore’s
book refers to something that he calls an Invocation Ceremony. It’s like a baptism. It takes place in a waterfall. … [O]ne, Stinson Brook Falls, is located just two miles from where Jane Doe was found.
Cooper: That’s excellent, but does it give us a specific search parameter?
Aram: No, but this does. [ He lays out a map ] Okay, tax records deeding 580 acres of wooded land to a non-profit entity the same year that Moore vanished.
Cooper: Go. Notify the team.
Aram: Thank you, sir.
Cooper: For what?
Aram: Not saying it’s gonna be okay.

Lilly: So, you’re saying you were framed?
Red: I’m saying a perfectly plausible narrative was created.
Lilly: By some shadow government called the Cabal.
Red: Secret societies exist. The Cabal, the Trilateral Commission – private organizations that harness powerful forces to tip the scales in their favor – military
engagements, UN interventions, treaties. The Cabal is the one I stumbled across – and tried to destroy. To prevent that, they tried to destroy me.
Lilly: How does [that] explain why you abandoned us?
Red: You weren’t abandoned. You were protected.
Lilly: Yes. So, you forget my ground rules, which is I take you to Naomi in exchange for honest answers.
Red: In 1990, the KGB and the CIA had almost nothing in common except the mutual determination to hunt down one individual.
Lilly: You.
Red: Being a fugitive from American law enforcement is a lot easier than being a fugitive from the two most powerful nations on Earth. And anyone close to a target of theirs becomes a target themselves.
Lilly: Family.
Red: Especially family. Unless they’re abandoned on the side of a road on Christmas Eve.
Lilly: After you left, we went into Witness
Protection.
Red: Put where the Cabal wouldn’t find you.
Lilly: Or my father.
Red: An effective, albeit excruciatingly painful solution.
Lilly: Effective?
Red: You survived, as did your mother, to whom I hope you are now willing to take me.

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: Red has succeeded in earning the gratitude of Ian Garvey’s opium supplier, Zarak Mosadek, by rescuing his son from the Taliban, a Paris operation he accomplished with help from the FBI. Cooper approved the operation over the objection of Cynthia Panabaker of the CIA which had recently cut ties to Mosadek as an informant. In gratitude to Red, Mosadek will meet with Ian Garvey in the U.S. to give him the bad news that his opium supply is at risk – the source of Garvey’s power within the Nash Drug Syndicate. Red plans to use his leverage to retrieve from Garvey the duffel bag full of bones whose identity Red wants to keep a secret from Liz and the world. He has also vowed to Garvey that he will kill him once he gets the bones back.

In Red’s absense, Liz has worked with Aram to track Garvey, who killed both Tom and the detective investigating Tom’s murder, Norman Singleton. She and Aram followed Garvey 50 miles to Baltimore where they saw Garvey embrace a woman on the sidewalk in front of a bar, Pete’s Tavern. Aram identified the woman as Lillian May Roth, 35 years old, an employee of the bar. Later, Liz confronted Lillian and compelled her to come to her apartment and demanded information on Garvey. Lillian explained that Garvey was a surrogate father to her and got her into witness protection years ago to protect her from her real father, a career criminal on the FBI’s Most Wanted List – Raymond Reddington! She is Red’s daughter Jennifer by Carla (aka Naomi Hyland). Liz confided to Lillian that she herself is the daughter of Raymond Reddington.

 
Mosadek: Ian Garvey is– How do you Americans say it? A dead man walking? I cut him off. He no longer represents my interests in your country.
Red: I trust he knows why and what he must do to regain your patronage?
Mosadek: Yes. He was not happy about it. … Garvey has made a lot of money distributing my product, protecting my supply lines. …
Red: Then he’ll bring me what I need, and your debt will be paid.
Mosadek: As the gospels say, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto Reddington the things that are Reddington’s.” …
Red: I’ll contact you with a time and place. …
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 
 
[ Mosadek makes a call ]
Mosadek: Reddington knows too much. About both of us.
Garvey: He believed your story?
Mosadek: Of course. He lives in a world where people do what he tells them. So he expects me to bring him the bag. And when you do, I expect you to kill him. …

Liz: I have a daughter.
Lilly: I want to go home.
Liz: Her name is Agnes. She’s living with her grandmother until it’s safe for her to come back. … It won’t be safe until Ian Garvey is in prison. I needed you to hear that Ian Garvey killed my husband.
Lilly: [ Scoffs ]
Liz: Right here! Right where I’m standing now. …
Lilly: Ian is my surrogate father. He taught me to drive. He
showed up to my graduation. He was there after my real father abandoned me. And you want me to help you arrest him.
Liz: I do. … I wish we could just forget all of this and get to know one another.
Lilly: I think we both know it’s a little late for that. …

Red: This apartment. Right here. Oh. My God. To have been the proverbial fly on Clyde Tolson’s duvet.
Liz: Clyde Tolson lived here? J. Edgar Hoover’s lover?
Red: This was their secret hideaway. Imagine the conversations. Cooing over JFK’s lovers. Slandering Dr. King. … When I saw the apartment was for sale, I couldn’t resist.
Liz: You own the apartment where the homophobic head of the FBI carried on his affair with his boyfriend?
Red: Allegedly. I wouldn’t admit this in mixed company, but J. Edgar and I have a surprising amount in common. … [W]e both always get our man. He got Tolson. I got Garvey. Or I will, by this time tomorrow.
Liz: Is this why you wanted to see me?
Red: Mosadek has ordered Garvey to bring me the duffel bag. Garvey thinks he’s going to give it to me and walk away. I wanted you here to tell you I’ve made other arrangements.
Liz: To get your man and the bag.
Red: To get our man and keep my privacy.
Liz: Hoover believed knowledge is power. He used his to hurt a lot of good people. You’re using yours to hurt me.
Red: That is ridiculous.
Liz: Tom died for a reason. You know why, and you won’t tell me!
Red: I won’t tell you something that’s none of your business. It was none of Tom’s business. You may feel entitled to know what it is because he died trying to figure out what it was, but you’re not. … Be hurt. Blame me. Howl at the moon for all I care. But this is my problem, not yours.

Garvey: Hey. What’s the matter?
Lilly: Are you like him?
Garvey: Like who?
Lilly: Reddington. Are you like him?
Garvey: You know the answer to that.
Lilly: I know about the Nash Syndicate, about Zarak Mosadek.
Garvey: Whatever you’ve been told, there’s an explanation for all of that.
Lilly: You saved me. You protected me. …
Garvey: You don’t need to be protected from him anymore. Not after tomorrow.
Lilly: Are you gonna kill him? Like you killed Tom Keen?
Garvey: So that’s who you’ve been talking to? Agent Keen?
Lilly: Are you gonna kill Reddington? …

Aram: Okay, so, I cued it up to the end. … We got to do something about it, like, now. Here we go.

Lilly: Are you gonna kill Reddington?
Garvey: A meeting’s been set. Reddington thinks I’m coming to give him something he wants. I have other plans.
Lilly: Meaning what?
Garvey: Meaning I’m about to do the world a big favor.

Liz: I can’t tell you.
Red: Then, no, I’m not listening. [ Slaps phone shut ] …

Sinclair: But I- I’m not in the business of helping people skirt
murder. I’m- I’m in the business of providing alibis.
Red: A trick that allows a man to be in two places at once – an illusion I believe will come in handy, given the circumstances.
Sinclair: Yes, but it’s- it’s- it- it’s an illusion achieved by the most painstaking processes. It can take months …
Red: You have 16 hours. …

Cooper: Absolutely not. We’re not putting you in a situation like that. It’s too dangerous.
Red: I must say, Harold, I’m flattered by your concern, but I’ve spent a good part of my life in situations very much like that. …
Cooper: Don’t flatter yourself. And don’t
believe for one minute that we can protect you from Ian Garvey. …
Samar: What’s this really about?
Red: This is about justice for the man who murdered Agent Keen’s husband – a dangerous and dirty cop who … runs the ground troops for an international drug syndicate…. And along with Garvey, if you’re lucky, you might even capture Zarak Mosadek ….
Ressler: You let Mosadek go, and now he’s double-crossing you.
Red: … You just have to catch him in the act of killing me, not after he already has.
Cooper: If I sign off on this, you’re walking in there at your own risk.
Red: I feel confident.
Liz: And why is that?
Red: God doesn’t want me, and the devil isn’t finished. The meeting is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. Do get a good night’s sleep. I’ll need you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at the ass-crack of dawn.

TV Announcer: Following a shooting in Bealeton this morning, a manhunt is under way for U.S. Marshal Ian Garvey.

Red: It feels good to be wanted, doesn’t it?

TV Announcer: Witnesses have confirmed that Garvey. A 30-year veteran of the US Marshals Service, shot and killed an Afghan government official named Zarak Mosadek.

Garvey: What have you done?
Red: The impossible. I put you in two places at the same time.
Garvey: I didn’t shoot Mosadek. … I didn’t shoot anyone.
Red: As a general rule, a magician never explains his tricks. … But this one is just too good to keep to myself. It started yesterday just after lunch. While you were plotting with your minions from the Nash Syndicate, I was hatching a plan with my men to meet with you.

Flashback:
[ Red and Dembe get into Garvey’s car with him ]
Garvey: What the hell is this?
Red: “With a butterfly kiss and a honeybee hug, sleep tight, little one, like a bug in a rug.” [ Trad. ]
[ Dembe injects Garvey in the neck. Garvey passes out ]

Red: Then came a plaster mold of your face, a willing double, a little makeup, a little make-believe, and, voilá!, two Garveys with one stone. While the real one slept, the imposter picked up your men just in time for them to see

your Off-Broadway debut in all its theatrical glory.

Flashback:
[ Garvey enters a room carrying the black duffel bag ]
Garvey: [ To his men ] It’s time.

Garvey: Nobody’s gonna believe this.
Red: They already do. The FBI believes you killed an Afghan government official. Mosadek’s colleagues believe you killed the head of their cartel. And the Nash Syndicate believes you killed their biggest supplier.
Garvey: And if I give you the duffel bag?
Red: I’ll perform another magic trick. My jet will take you and the missus out of harm’s way. I know a lovely little spot on Namibia’s Skeleton Coast.
Garvey: You can get me out.
Red: Where’s the bag?

us.

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: Ian Garvey still has the duffel bag Red is looking for which contains a skeleton whose identity Red wants to hide from Liz and the world. But now Red has a ledger containing information on the original source of the opium smuggled into the US by the Nash Syndicate which Garvey protects and which is the source of his power. Red plans to use it as leverage to get back the skeleton. Meanwhile Garvey has learned that Liz is important to Red in addition to being a witness to his murder of Tom. Garvey has claimed to Red that he himself wants to know the “whole truth” regarding the skeleton whose identity he learned when Tom and Nick Korpal looked it up on a classified database using Liz’s credentials (unbeknownst to her). Garvey taunted Red asking him if he wasn’t curious about why he (Garvey) would be interested. Red said he wanted to learn the “whole truth” on his own, not through Garvey. Liz and the Task Force know Red is looking for the duffel bag, but not what is in it or why he wants to keep it secret. Red has flown Tony Mejia, a material witness to another murder committed by Garvey (that of Detective Norman Singleton, who was investigating Tom’s murder) out of the country to keep Tony from testifying until he gets the duffel back – and to keep him away from Garvey, who would kill him. Red has told Garvey that once he gets the skeleton back, he will kill Garvey. Liz wants Red to get his duffel back if only to get him to return Tony Mejia who will corroborate her own testimony that Garvey is a dirty cop and a murderer.

Cooper: Mosadek is an informant for the CIA. He’s also a major player in the opium trade. …

Cooper: The Taliban has taken his son hostage. My people know where the boy’s being held. … The boy is being held because of his father’s relationship with us.
Panabaker: Perhaps, but it’s the Taliban’s knowledge of that relationship which caused the agency to sever ties with him. If there were ever ties to sever. … They’re not going to get involved, and you can’t. …

Aram: No. Agent Keen did.
Samar: You have got to stop asking for relationship advice from people who have only had terrible relationships.
Aram: She was right, too. If you’d wanted to marry me, you would’ve assumed it was an engagement ring.

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: US Marshal Ian Garvey has murdered Detective Norman Singleton, who was investigating the murder of Liz’s husband Tom Keen. Garvey himself murdered Tom and is in the possession of a skeleton Mr Kaplan left for Liz. Red does not want the identity of the skeleton disclosed and to keep this secret he abducted the eye witness to Singleton’s murder whose testimony against Garvey could have bolstered Liz’s, whose own testimony may be questioned due to a concussion she suffered during the attack on her and Tom that left her comatose for 10 months. Garvey and Red are at a stand-off over the bones, but Red has warned Garvey to leave Liz alone and has promised him he will kill him once he gets the skeleton back. Garvey claims to know additional secrets and has taunted Red: “You have no idea who I am or why I want the truth. Aren’t you curious? Don’t you have any questions?” Red’s response: “Oh, I have plenty of questions, but none I’d pose to you. The answers will have to wait for me to find out on my own.”

Meanwhile, Liz has been reinstated as an agent by her therapist and fellow profiler Dr Sharon Fulton. Dr Fulton has disclosed to Liz that, on the side, she is a vigilante who recruits discredited agent-profilers to track down and kill serial killers according to their own M.O. Liz has offered to help her by giving her access to Red’s menagerie of “Doctors. Lawyers. Finders. Freaks. People with special skills.”

Red: Jerry Jawal wasn’t just a port manager. He was an important associate for the Nash Syndicate – the man responsible for bringing product into the country safely and with the proper documentation. He was killed yesterday while talking on the phone to me.
Liz: If he worked for Nash, why was he talking to you?
Red: He worked with the Nash Syndicate, not for them. I’ve known Jerry for some time. … He’d agreed to bring me a ledger – a list of every Nash Syndicate shipment and its point of origin for the last 14 months.

Liz: When Jawal took over the port in Baltimore, he changed the management team, hired his own countrymen from India.
Samar: If they’re supplying opium to the Nash Syndicate, it would make sense he would want his own crew in charge.
Liz: Coogan Hudnutt and his merry band of xenophobes weren’t on board with that idea. They started making threats. Then, a stevedore got jumped and stabbed, and now Jawal’s been gunned down in his own home. … Reddington believes that recovering Jawal’s ledger is … important.
Samar: Why?
Liz: Because it contains the identity of the Nash Syndicate’s supplier – the original supplier, the one with the thousands of hectares of opium poppies that feeds their business. …

Samar: And according to this, over 700 million women worldwide were married as minors to adult men.
Aram: … Half our states have no age limit. More than 200,000 American children were married in the last 15 years. Apparently, all that’s needed is parental consent or judicial approval.
Liz: Look at this thread. It includes Orthodox Jews, Mormons, Muslims, Christians. It’s like a child-bride support group. They’re talking about being forced to
have sex, forced to be wives in middle and high school.
Aram: … They also talk about her [ Keys clacking ] – a guardian angel, sort of like a mythic white knight that appears to set them free. … Nine of the girls in Reva’s group have husbands who have been killed or died in accidents.

Samar: That makes sense. We know he worked for
Garvey.
Aram: No, that part makes sense. What doesn’t is how he got it into the engine bay of a car in our motor pool. The vehicle never left the building. So, either Garvey got in … or he knows someone who can. You didn’t answer my question.

[ Reva nods ]
Red: I understand why you’ve been protecting her. She … [f]reed you from the unimaginable nightmare of a forced marriage with a man three times your age. I need

Reva: No.
Red: Your husband was a drug dealer. He worked with a particularly vicious organization, helping to smuggle
their drugs at the port. And now you killed their man – a critical asset. What do you think they’ll do when they realize it was you this gang of killers notorious for showing no mercy to their enemies?

Red: I don’t want to hurt her, Reva. But she has something I need. It means nothing to her and everything to me. Who is she?

Liz: Because if Tony Mejia ever testified, then Garvey would go to prison, and Reddington wouldn’t get his duffel bag.
Aram: … We figured Mr Redding- ton would try to move him, try to get him as far away
from Garvey as possible. So, we put a BOLO out to every private airfield on the East Coast.

FBI Director: Maybe for killing her own husband, but then, she kept killing.

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: Norman Singleton, the detective investigating Tom Keen’s murder, has been murdered by Tom Keen’s killer, Ian Garvey, his co-worker, a US marshall and “dirty cop” who runs a group of thugs aligned with the Nash drug syndicate. Singleton and Liz attempted to draw out Tom’s killer, but Garvey caught Singleton in the process. Liz has recognized Garvey among the cops at the scene of Singleton’s stabbing as “Damascus” – the man with the Damascus knife – from the night of Tom’s murder. Garvey wanted a suitcase containing a skeleton left for Liz by Mr Kaplan but intercepted by Tom. Garvey tracked the suitcase to Tom after DNA from the bones was ID’d by a government computer database. Garvey took the skeleton planning to use its identity to blackmail Red. He killed Tom after Tom refused to connect him with Red. Both Liz and Red want to retrieve the skeleton, but Liz knows of it only as an “item” that will tell her “the truth” that Red has told her has to do with him – but which must “remain a secret, even from you.”

Liz: You’ve spoken to this witness? Is he credible? ‘Cause if he is, then my testimony–
Red: Will also be credible. Any questions about your memory will go away. So will Mr. Garvey.
Liz: And you want that?
Red: Not until I get what I want. … Garvey provides protection for the Nash Syndicate. I know some of the
players. I’ll shake them loose while the Task Force questions the witness.
Liz: Where is the witness? Can I question him?
Cooper: He’s not here. And, no, you can’t. … A defense lawyer would need all of a minute to convince a jury to disregard any part of a case you build against Garvey.
You’re the widow and star witness. You can’t also be the investigating officer.
Liz: So, while you and Reddington go after Garvey, I’m supposed to, what, read a book?
Cooper: Actually, I have a case. …

Liz: This sword. The Capricorn Killer forged each by hand, and this one looks symmetrical. Lacks
imperfections. You need to notify the lab. Have them pull the weapons from the past victims and run a comparison.
Graves: Hold on. This isn’t a random act. Whoever did this has details right that were never released to the public. This is Capricorn.

lovely blue ball floating in a sea of blackness. Everything else, including and most especially, the truth you’re looking for, is “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
Garvey: I could take the bones public.
Red: You could, but you haven’t. And you won’t. I’m not sure why. … I won’t kill you until I have the bones, and
for some inexplicable reason, you won’t go public until you know this whole truth. We may have a stalemate, but with the FBI, you’re at a distinct disadvantage. … Unless you give me the bag, in which case, an accommodation may be possible.

Dr Fulton: You think he convinced her?
Liz: Her shoes were missing. Little pink hightops with rainbow laces. Why would a 4-year-old put them on or let him put them on for her? She did it because she

Liz: Like, take this case I’m working on right now, the
profiler.
Dr Fulton: Alleged profiler.
Liz: No, I’m certain of it.
Dr Fulton: So you’ve argued, but if the killer was a profiler, then his training at Quantico would’ve
required a psych eval. I’d like to think I or my colleagues would’ve flagged him before he was cleared for fieldwork.
Liz: Maybe you did.
Dr Fulton: What?
Liz: Flag him. Not at first, but maybe later. Years later, they could’ve suffered a mental trauma, one that’s caused a psychological shift. If I could get ahold of the medical records of these other profilers –

Liz: Oh, my God. I can’t believe I almost forgot to tell you. The witness ID’d Garvey as the killer. …

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: Red has continued collecting talented criminals as he appeases the Task Force by delivering other killers. These include arsonist Earl Fagan and Mr Raleigh Sinclair III (“The Alibi”) who creates doppelgangers. He and Liz have learned from “The Toymaker” Cleveland Bandicott that the man who had him devise Bobby Navarro’s GPS-tracking electronic eye was likely a cop. Meanwhile, unknown to Liz and Red, that man was Ian Garvey, a US Marshall and is apparently a “dirty cop.” Ian Garvey killed Tom and is in possession the suitcase containing a skeleton that Mr Kaplan intended for Liz but which Red is desperate to claim before Liz finds out where or what it is. Singleton, the detective investigating Tom’s murder, has twice broken in to Liz’s apartment. The second time, she confronted Singleton and threatened to turn him in for burglary, but he showed her photos linking Red to her and threatened to turn her! in for working for Red. To prove she had a legitimate reason for associating with Red, she got Cooper’s permission to bring Singleton to the black site in the Post Office and inform him about the work of the Reddington Task Force.

Cooper: Reddington has a flair for the dramatic.
Singleton: He threatened to kill me.
Cooper: If you divulge his relationship with the FBI. So – don’t. … You said you had a way to draw out the killer, what do you call him – Damascus. …
Singleton: I’m part of an inter-agency task force trying to bring them down. Every time we get a lead, Damascus tips them off, and we get nothing.
Liz: Which means whoever killed Tom has a line in on his task force.
Singleton: So at my next meeting, I’m gonna let it be known that we
have … someone inside the syndicate who can ID Damascus. Bobby Navarro, former dealer from the syndicate who’s gone missing.
Liz: We’ll tell them where and when I’ll meet Navarro and that he’s gonna ID Damascus. And whoever shows up … will either be Damascus or someone that can lead us to him. …

Red: For now. Because he’s afraid not to be. I find a good bedside chat to be effective and exhilarating.
Liz: He and I have a plan. And if works out, it’ll ID Tom’s killer.
Red: And then what? If it turns out to be a cop, what are you gonna do then? Let the system close ranks around one of its own? Let him lawyer up? Stand trial? Juries acquit cops even when they have video showing those cops shooting innocent victims. …
Liz: Why are you telling me this?
Red: Because you and I both know this doesn’t end in a courtroom. It ends on the street. I want you to be prepared for that. About this case–
Liz: The only case I’m interested in working on is Tom’s murder.
Red: Well, unfortunately this is an urgent one. There’s been a rather acute viral outbreak in New York City, and I’m afraid it was not a natural occurrence.

Liz: USAMRIID. The germ-warfare guys.
Aram: Married to Lieutenant Commander Dennis Edwards. NAVY Seal.
Ressler: “All in, all the time.” The best of the best.
Aram: Yeah, well, put a pin in that. ‘Cause in March 2017, Lieutenant Commander Edwards was stationed in
Manbij, Syria, tasked with securing the area to facilitate the liberation of Raqqa. His record had always been exemplary, up until another SEAL caught him stealing a truck full of confiscated opium.
Cooper: Was he court-martialed?
Aram: Killed. By the same SEAL who caught him. And Judge Advocate ruled that that SEAL was acting in self-defense.
Samar: Did they investigate the wife?
Aram: Uh, yeah, but nothing conclusive but she was stripped of her security clearance at USAMRIID before resigning her commission.
Liz: Which means she lost access to the chemical and biological weapons. …

Cooper: You’re telling me a human virus infected a computer network. How is that possible?
Aram: All right, code is code – ones and zeroes. What’s changed is that we can now manipulate the human genome to implant malicious code into it. When the infected DNA from the victims was analyzed
and uploaded to the CDC’s network, the computer virus was uploaded with it.
Liz: So the purpose of the outbreak was to hijack the CDC’s server.
Cooper: And lock us out. But why? …
Aram: The only way I can see for sure what she’s doing inside the system is to physically access the server farm.

Red: The charming lady who just left?
Headmaster: It’s been a very good day.
Red: Well, then allow me to make it an even better one. Every great athletic facility requires spectacular locker

Headmaster: That is very generous.
Red: His name is Charlie Hepworth. Now, I know there’s been some bad blood between you–
Headmaster: I’m afraid that’s rather an understatement. His father’s audit cost my sister her company.

Hepworth: You know, there’s nothing I’ve wanted more than for my son to go to Davenport and, um – if it were in my power to bury this audit, I would.
Red: But it is in your power. You’re the auditor.
Hepworth: Yes. I was when we came to our understanding, but there’s been a change. I’m out, and, um, Larry Hotchkiss is in. He’ll be here tomorrow at 9:00 to examine your books. I am so sorry.

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: Liz and Red are on a race against time – and each other – to locate the suitcase containing a skeleton. Liz knows it only as an “item” which will reveal to her “the truth” – a secret of Red’s – that Tom wanted her to know. Red knows that Mr Kaplan left the suitcase for Liz but Tom purloined it. Determined to identify it himself before telling Liz, Tom got killed for his trouble. It is now in the hands of Tom’s murderer, Ian Garvey, who knows its value to Red. In the search for Tom’s killer, Liz found among Tom’s things a reference to an “Oleander” who Cooper has told her was a Russian operative during the Cold War. Following the tip from Cooper leads Liz to Dominic Wilkerson. This turns out to be “Dom,” Liz’s own grandfather (and Red’s gruff, reclusive, occasional antagonist). Dom claims only a passing familiarity with former Soviet agents, but recognizes Liz when she tells him Katarina Rostova (his own daughter) was her mother. He does not tell Liz he is her grandfather – or that he himself is Oleander. He says he does not know if Katarina is still alive. Meanwhile, Red is tracking the suitcase through the Nash Syndicate, a drug operation which Red has learned is protected or run by cops. The final scene of Episode 5:13 shows that, not only does Ian Garvey himself wear a badge, but Detective Singleton, the cop working Tom’s case, is in cahoots with him.

 

Raleigh Sinclair: Tell me again about that day how you found her, how it felt. … Don’t tell me what you saw. Tell me what you felt, what you feel.
Brian Barrett: I felt–

Flashback: A man and woman are having sex.
Nicole: [ Moaning ]

Brian: –rage. Nothing else. I wasn’t hurt or sad or betrayed. All I felt was rage – like the only thing that mattered was that she– I wanted- I wanted to hurt her. Not him. Her.
Sinclair: That feeling you have right now – that anger – I want you to hold on to that…. Can you do that, Brian? Is your hatred big enough to sustain you?
Brian: Yes.
Sinclair: … I will contact you again when you have
gathered the items on this list.
Brian: [ Reading ] Three pairs of yellow running shoes, an iPhone, an apartment on Washington Place? … You want me to rent an apartment in Manhattan?
Sinclair: You want a perfect alibi for murdering your wife?
Brian: I’ll do it today.
Sinclair: When you’re watching your wife die, it it will be well worth the wait. …

Red: Agent Navabi, are you familiar with the Innocence Project?
Samar: Of course. They use DNA evidence to exonerate the wrongfully convicted.
Red: The majority of the convictions they overturn are based on eyewitness testimony. People who swore they’d seen something they hadn’t.
[ Red slides a newspaper across the table to Samar ]
Samar: What does this have to do with Sam DeMarco?
Red: Mr DeMarco was brought in for questioning in connection with the untimely demise of his business partner. …
Samar: Until four eyewitnesses placed him miles from the scene of the crime.
Red: People think memory works like a video recorder. … In truth, memories are reconstructed more like putting together an ever-changing jigsaw puzzle than replaying a video.
Samar: So the witnesses are wrong?
Red: Manipulated. Into providing a killer with an airtight alibi by a master in the art of misdirection. …
A man appropriately known as “The Alibi.” …
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 
Cooper: How does he say this “Alibi” does it? Witness tampering? Bribery?
Ressler: Could be that he just gets someone else to commit the crime for his clients. Times it so that when it takes place they’re someone else, like out in public so other people see them. …

Samar: Apparently, The Alibi only works with people who want to commit the crimes themselves. He doesn’t offer hit men, only alibis.
Aram: That allow people to be in two places at once.
Samar: The Alibi can exonerate anyone from any crime by getting people he’s never met to swear to things they’ve never seen.
Cooper: Ressler, Navabi, find the witness that says she saw DeMarco at the time of the murder. … I want to know if she made an honest mistake or is an accessory to murder.

Cashier: 20 bucks worth. Right after pulling cash out of the ATM.
Ressler: We’re gonna need access to that camera. …

Aram: And here we go. There.
Cooper: It’s him.
Aram: Yes. Except it’s not. Facial recognition software says it is only an 81% match with discrepancies…. I suspect that … you are looking at an exceptionally convincing double who helped Sam DeMarco get away with murder. …

Cooper: This was the man eyewitnesses ID’d as Sam DeMarco. And this is DeMarco.

is now is anyone’s guess.

Brian: Hey, I’ve been at this for months. I could care less about the falafel guy and what he needs.
Sinclair: He could be critical to our story.
Brian: Do you know who likes falafel?! Phil. Who was screwing my wife when we started this. … And now he’s moved in with her. He’s living in my house with my kids. And I’m out here waving to falafel guys!

Delores: You’re looking for Kahil?
Red: That’s right. Kahil Shula. What can you tell me about him?
Delores: Good person. Last time I seen him, he
was talking to a man in front of the, um, West 26th Street shelter. Said something about a job. Got into his fancy car and drove off.

Red: Nothing personal.
Dr Fulton: May I pay you the courtesy of being blunt?
Red: Please.
Dr Fulton: You disgust me.
Red: I was told you wanted to talk about Elizabeth.
Dr Fulton: You’re a glorified serial killer. Everything
I hear about Agent Keen is that she’s talented, smart, tough, resilient. Recommending reinstatement would be a no-brainer if not for her relationship with you.
Red: Remind me. Was “the apple doesn’t fall far from
the tree” a psychological theory first pioneered by Piaget or Lucy in “Peanuts”? …
Dr Fulton: Some kids run from their father’s sins. She embraces them.
Red: Are we finished?
Dr Fulton: “Fidelity. Bravery. Integrity.” This is the Bureau’s motto. Do you honestly believe a child of yours can honor that?
Red: Would you honestly believe any answer I gave?
Dr Fulton: I doubt it. But Agent Keen’s future with the Bureau depends on you giving it your best shot.
Red: No. Elizabeth’s future with the Bureau depends on
her giving it her best shot. And your willingness to judge her on her merits, not mine. Push her. Provoke her. Figure out a way past her grief and anger, and you’ll see her for who she really is.
Dr Fulton: And who is that?
Red: Everything that I am not. Oop! Time’s up. I’m afraid that’s all for today. Good session, though. Tough stuff.

Samar: 840. We contacted the Toll Road Authority and pulled the video from every
license plate of every car.

doppelgangers?

meeting Reddington near Dupont Circle. You’re not the only one doing surveillance. You report me, I’ll report you.
Liz: Okay. You want to talk? Why don’t you start by telling me why you broke into my apartment twice?
Singleton: Our investigation into the Nash Syndicate isn’t getting anywhere. Witnesses won’t talk. Others disappear. Someone’s ahead of us. Someone on the inside. The people I work with think it’s you.
Liz: You think I’m protecting the people who killed my husband?
Singleton: I think you know Reddington killed the men we found dead inside your apartment the night your husband died. I think you killed Navarro and stole
the information that could prove it out of the evidence lock-up. … [M]y instinct tells me we’re on the same side. And that we need to work together if we’re gonna get who we’re looking for.
Liz: A dirty cop. But not you.
Singleton: You can ask around about me. My reputation. I’ll check out real quick. I want to trust you, but you and Reddington – I don’t see any way you can explain that away.
Liz: There is one way. But to do it, I’d have to trust you. And if you betray my trust, I assure you, Raymond Reddington will kill you. …

Ressler: I’m sorry. Y-You let him go? The Blacklister.
Red: I cut a deal, Donald. You do it all the time.
Ressler: In pursuit of a more just outcome.
Somehow I think your goal was a little more self-serving.
Cooper: What’s this?
Red gives Cooper a list.
Red: The Alibi had 51 clients that we know of. Because of his handiwork, none were ever convicted of murder. With the evidence you obtained from his place of business, you can file charges against 27 clients who
never went to trial. But thanks to your justice system’s quaint notion of double jeopardy, it’s too late for the 24 who were already tried and acquitted – even though you now have proof of their guilt.
Cooper: These are the locations of where The Alibi buried the doubles.
Red: Yes, who he murdered. Murders you can accuse all the clients of conspiring to commit.
Cooper: This is good. This is very good.
Ressler: Except for one thing – The man who actually murdered the doubles is The Alibi, and you let him go.
Red: Yes. In exchange for that list.
Cooper: So, what? Case closed?
Red: Not quite. I want something from you.
Cooper: And what’s that?
Red: To give me one of the doubles when you unearth him – Kahil Shula. I want to give him a proper burial.

Liz: I know you do. Which brings me to fear. You think I’m afraid to acknowledge the weight of having Raymond Reddington as a father.
Dr Fulton: It’s an understandable point of view.
Liz: And one that I shared. ‘He’s evil. He’s my father. I must be evil, too.’
Dr Fulton: But you’re not.

Dr Fulton: You see him differently.

Brief: Red, with Dembe’s encouragement, has finally confessed to Liz that he was somehow implicated in Tom’s death: “I have a secret, and I need to keep it even from you.” Liz knows the secret involves an “item” but not what the item may be (i.e. a suitcase with a skeleton inside, the identity of which Tom had discovered). Red says Tom died because he disregarded Red’s warning not to pursue it. Liz has vowed to unearth “the truth” because Tom wanted her to know what he found out. She will work with Red but they are at cross-purposes. Meanwhile, Red helped the task force in order to obtain parole for a convicted arsonist whose help he plans to use in the future.

 

[ A restaurant in New York City ] …
Emma: Zeke! Perfect timing. Tim was just telling us how Sophia picked him up at a bar.
Stephen Altman: She used to be ­the shyest girl in school.
Tim Gorman: Well, she wasn’t shy with me.
Sophia: Can we please change the subject?
Bobby: Sure. I want to hear more about what Tim does for a living.
Tim: I told you. I make security products.
Stephen: Handguns. You make the cheapest handguns on the market today. …
Bobby: You profit off misery.
Stephen: That’s blood money, Tim.

Tim: What the hell is this? It isn’t against the law to sell guns.
Stephen: No, it isn’t. In fact, the law protects gun makers like you from being sued.
Tim: Is that why you brought me here, to insult me?
Stephen: We all brought you here. Not to insult you. To punish you.
[ Stephen hits Tim on the side of head with a beer bottle ]

[ When Tim wakes up he is in a grave with duct tape over his mouth. Five figures in hazmat suits and masks surround the grave. One by one, they take a shovel and shovel dirt into it ]

don’t know is how you broke into evidence lockup and stole it before it was sent to the lab.

On tv:
Reporter: Here outside the upstate New York town of Harrington, locals have long told ghost stories about these abandoned fields and the walking dead who haunt them. Last night for a few teens, those stories became all too real.

[ Red and Samar watch the tv broadcast at the pet care place Red uses for money laundering ]

Reporter: Alex, can you tell us what happened?
Alex: You know, we hopped the fence and walked into the fields, you know, on a dare, and that’s when I saw the new grave.

Red: I have to say, ­I would’ve done exactly the same when I was a kid. It’s a ghost story – creepy woods, rumors of corpses walking around in the dead of night.

Samar: Is that your dog, or a customer’s?
Red: What a dear. Yes. You’re a good girl. All right, off you go. [ Laughs ] A few days ago, Tim Gorman, the owner of Ballistic-Nine, a controversial ­gun
manufacturing company based in Reading, Pennsylvania, disappeared.
Samar: That’s who’s in the shallow grave, Tim Gorman, the businessman who makes gun a fifth the price of an iPhone?
Red: Murdered, I believe, by a provocative group known as The Invisible Hand.
Samar: So, they’re vigilantes going after criminals the legal system has failed to convict. Red: The criminals
here aren’t really criminals at all. That’s the point. The Invisible Hand chooses targets who aren’t actually aren’t committing crimes under existing law.
Samar: Like Tim Gorman. Everything he did was perfectly legal.
Red: Yes, but morally reprehensible in the eyes of The Hand. “Eyes of The Hand.” What an odd turn of phrase.

[ Members of The Invisible Hand are on a conference call ] …
Zeke: … Now, we all saw the news. As we speak, the police are digging up the entire site. We’ll be exposed–
Stephen: You don’t know that.
Sophia: Oh, my God. …
Emma: I agree with Stephen. We’ve always covered our tracks. Nothing at the site leads back to us.
Bobby: Look, let me do some sniffing around at the paper. I can call a few sources, see what the police really know. …

Samar: Gorman’s body was found in a shallow grave in a Superfund site in a town called Brenford. He believes others ­are buried there as well.
Aram: Brenford – Okay. Uh, their biggest employer was the Atria Chemical Corporation. Whoa. They dumped so many toxins that the EPA set up the site, 10 square miles of uninhabitable land. …

Muncie: … All right, here’s your gun-maker. …
Ressler: How many bodies have you found?
Muncie: Six so far …. Oh. I pulled this down for you. It’s a surveillance camera. The EPA monitors these sites to study terrain shifts. … It takes one photo a day. …
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 
Bobby: Cops don’t know anything yet. They can’t figure who most of the bodies are, let alone connect them to us.
Stephen: Look, everything we do, we do together. We choose who is deserving of punishment together. We execute sentence together, and we all equally responsible, so if you guys want to stop, we stop. But I think once you see this,
you’ll realize that isn’t possible now.
[ Stephen hands each of the others a folder ]
Emma: You found her. …
Zeke: She has to die. Don’t forget why we started this. I say we vote.
[ They raise their hands ]
Stephen: Anna Hopkins, you will know The Invisible Hand.
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 
Muncie: We’ve discovered nine bodies so far.
Ressler: Any idea how they were killed?
Muncie: The autopsies suggest they were buried alive, each of them put in the ground conscious, fully aware of what was happening. I’ve got four names for you so far. Gorman, the gun-maker, you know. The second body’s Ralph Ellis. He went missing two years ago. He works for Ace-Gen Pharmaceuticals.
Ressler: The ones that ­jacked up the cancer prices so high the poor couldn’t afford them.
Muncie: But the rest of them are mostly skeletons. Edward Waybur and David Flynn I’d guess they were the first ones put in the ground. Waybur was a retired judge. Flynn was a lawyer in Philly. …

Red: Anthony Pagliaro?
Dembe: He won’t leave, Raymond. He said he’s sorry for the unexpected visit, but it’s a work-related emergency.
Red: The man works at a post office. What kind of emergency could we be talking about? Bring him in.
Tony Pagliaro: I know. Don’t even say it – unexpected drop-ins, not kosher. All I can say is I would never if it wasn’t an absolute emer–
Red: Emergency. Dembe said. In my experience, everyone has their own definition of an emergency.
Tony: Somebody’s trying to kill me.
Red: That fits my definition.
Tony: It’s my fault. I needed some money. So, there’s this guy at work, you know, he has this route, told me about this house, said it was a big drug spot. So I covered his route for a week, I found this package that I figured was loaded with, you know, whatever, something that I could sell. It’s drugs, so maybe they don’t report it. …
Red: I’m remembering now why I make the plans when we do business.
Tony: And I was dead on. Package was loaded with cocaine. So now, I’m rich, right? Boom! Next day, I get a visit from a walking refrigerator calls himself Big Willie Wilkins.
Red: Imagine the confidence a man has to have in his own genitals to take on a nickname like “Big Willie.”
Tony: Oh, yeah, he’s confident all right. He’s also cuckoo-ka-choo. … So I told him that it was stolen. By another dealer, I hear the guys at work talk about from the neighborhood – Momo, they call him, Momo Marinello.
Red: Does Momo know you’re the one who falsely accused him?
Tony: Oh, yeah. I’m his prime suspect, and he’s going to kill me for sure.
Red: What did you need the money for?
Tony: I’d rather not say. Does it matter?
Red: [ Chuckles ] It does to me.
Tony: All right, I-I’m I’m dating this girl now, okay, and, uh, you know, she’s a little bit out of my league, so I just thought I could use a little, uh, you know, a little, uh, help in the – liposculpture. …
Red: Come, let’s take a ride over and see this Large William and explain the misunderstanding.
Tony: What? No. That’s a bad idea.
Red: Relax. In a matter like this, honesty is always the best policy. Probably. …

Aram: I looked at 730 photos. No cars in the foreground on the road, but one photo had something in the background, and I enhanced it.
Samar: Why would anyone visit a contaminated site without protective gear?
Ressler: Now, who the hell is that? …

Liz: Oleander – Tom was still researching the name when he was killed.
Cooper: It’s a person.
Liz: So you found something.
Cooper: … Oleander was the name of a Russian operative active during the Cold War.
Liz: A Russian agent?
Cooper: I’m not sure he’s even still alive. A few years ago, ­the CIA thought he might be living here in the United States under an assumed name. That was never proven. No charges were ever filed.
Liz: Thank you for this.
Cooper: Agent Keen, be very careful. If that man is the operative they call Oleander, he’s extremely dangerous.

Big Willie: Raymond damn Reddington. I thought somebody was pulling my chain. … He’s with you?
Red: He is. … Your package was stolen, Willie, but not by Momo Marinello. I’m afraid your first instinct was correct.
Anthony took it in an extremely misguided effort to finance a personal procedure he’d rather not discuss except amongst friends. … Anthony will pay you back in full with interest. No harm, no foul.
Big Willie: No harm?
[ Big Willie takes them into a room with a bloody chainsaw where men are cutting up a body ]
Red: Oh, Willie. You certainly work fast.
Big Willie: My guys caught up with Momo about an hour ago.

Aram: All right, this is David Flynn, the personal injury lawyer from Philly. The other body was Judge Waybur. … Waybur spent his entire career hearing cases in the City of Brenford, and Flynn … was the general counsel of the Atria Corporation, the chemical company that poisoned Brenford.
Ressler: Sounds like a good enough reason for The Invisible Hand to want them dead.
Samar: Yes, but what about Judge Waybur? …
Aram: … Flynn appeared before Judge Waybur to defend Atria in one case.
Ressler: About what?
Aram: I can’t say. The records are sealed under court order. … Another plaintiff sought to have the case unsealed almost 15 years ago and failed … – Stephen Altman.
Samar: Oh, my God. Look who it is.
Ressler: It’s our ghost – the man from the photo walking out of the woods.
Aram: Stephen Altman was raised in Brenford. His parents died of bone cancer, supposedly as a result of Atria’s chemical spills. Stephen was a teenager when he sued Atria for wrongful death. …

Dom: Well, what brings and FBI agent out to visit with an old, retired systems analyst?
Liz: You’re not a retired systems analyst, Mr. Wilkinson.
Dom: [ Laughs ] Then who am I?
Liz: I think you’re a former Russian operative codenamed Oleander.
Dom: Oleander? That’s why you’re here, chasing that old ghost story?
Liz: You were investigated by the CIA.
Dom: Yes, I was investigated by the CIA, and I was cleared. … What’s this all about? Be straight with me, young lady. I’ll be straight with you.
Liz: My husband was killed over a year ago, and I’m trying to understand why.
Dom: [ Exhales sharply ] I’m very sorry for your loss. I’m not Oleander. The CIA took a look at me because I used to work with Russian intelligence, but I was– I was not an apparatchik, an agent. I was an analyst ­in the civilian sector – agricultural production, sugar beets.
Liz: There had to be more to it.
Dom: After the Cold War, I came to this country to teach analytics. I was granted asylum and citizenship. I changed my name, I started over. I wish I could help you. I can see that you’re a good person, kind– Your eyes remind me of someone.
Liz: You said you worked for Russian intelligence, so you knew operatives.
Dom: Yes, but not Oleander.
Liz: What about Katarina Rostova?
Dom: Yes. Katarina. Yes, I knew Katarina quite well.

Big Willie: Hey, I thought Momo stole from me. What else was I supposed to do?
Red: You didn’t have to kill him.
Big Willie: If I don’t respond, ­I look weak, and if I look weak, somebody’s gonna wrap me up in a plastic bag.
Red: Leadership is about more than the showing of strength, William. It’s also about knowing when to show restraint.
Big Willie: Restraint? Oh, you mean like me not putting a bullet in your man’s head [ Pulls gun and holds it to Tony’s cheek ] for lying to me?!
[ Dembe points his gun at Big Willie ]
Tony: Okay, like I said, bad idea.
Red: My associate here is the least of your concerns right now. Do you realize what you’ve
done? Momo’s guys are going to have to retaliate.
Dembe: Put the gun down.

Dom: I don’t want to talk about Reddington.
Liz: Why not?
Dom: I just don’t.
Liz: Do you think she’s dead? Katarina? I know they say she committed suicide, but there was a man, Anton Velov. He was a Colonel in the Spetsnaz. He said she
might still be alive.
Dom: I never heard from Katarina after she left for America. What really happened to her I think there are some people who want to keep ­that information a secret. And I think they will do whatever is necessary even now to keep it that way.

The other five met up after years away at his funeral, and there, standing over his coffin, a plan emerged, a … plan to change the world, [by] being as ruthless with the world as it had been with them.
Ressler: And this vigilante justice You really think that that’s what this world needs?
Stephen: … Just because something’s legal doesn’t mean that it’s right or that it shouldn’t be punished.

[ Cellphone rings ]
Red: [ On phone ] What’s wrong?
Dom: [ Laughs ] Nice greeting. How the hell do you know something’s wrong?
Red: Because you’re calling, and I don’t hear from you unless it’s urgent.
Dom: She was here – Masha.
Red: How?
Dom: … She was here looking for Oleander. Apparently, she thinks tracking him down will help solve her husband’s murder.
Red: What did she say? Be specific.
Dom: Relax. She doesn’t know Oleander’s me. I certainly didn’t tell her. And since I know ­all you care about is yourself, you can stop worrying. I didn’t say a word about you. My own granddaughter three feet away after almost 30 years, I couldn’t say a damn thing to her.
Red: I can’t talk about this now.
[ Liz and Samar walk over to Red ]
Dom: You should tell her. Enough secrets. She deserves to know.
Red: We can talk about this later.
Liz: Samar’s here to question Bobby, but I asked if you could speak with him first. …

Red: Hello, Bobby. You know, I once knew a man who was shot 20 times in the torso and survived – 20 times. Achiko Takahashi.
Bobby: Who are you?
Red: You see, poor Achiko found himself at mortal odds with a particularly vengeful yakuza kumicho–
Tommy: Guard! ­
Red: Oh, never mind. It’s not a great story. Except for the fact that young Achiko lived. God, apparently. He was absolutely certain it was God who saved him, which may be true, but science, believe it or not, was somewhat on his side. They say over 80% of targets on the body are not fatal. What about you, Bobby? After all those people you and your friends have killed, you think God smiled down on you today?
Bobby: What do you want?
Red: I want the one they call the Toymaker. I know he did work for The Invisible Hand …
Bobby: How do you know about the Toymaker? You’re not a cop. Who are you?
Red: Answer the question, Bobby.
Bobby: Or what?
Red: Or I’m going to do to you what those 20 bullets couldn’t do to Achiko Takahashi.

Cleveland Bandicott: Right with you, friend.
Red: I appreciate your optimism, Mr. Bandicott, but I fear we aren’t going to be friends.
Bandicott: Please, ca- call me Cleveland.
Red: You know who I am, Cleveland? [ Bandicott nods ] Good. That’s helpful, and only
fair since I also know who you are. The Toymaker. May I? I’ve always wanted a soldering gun.
Red: Here, you take mine.
[ Red places his pistol on the table ]
Bandicott: [ Stammers ] You’re not gonna need that, Mr. Reddington. I’m a lover, not a fighter. I’m- I’m guessing you didn’t drop in to pick up a used VCR?
Red:
[ Laughs ] A VCR? Gosh, I’ve got a couple of boxes of VHS’s in a storage unit somewhere. My God, I haven’t seen them in years. A bunch of Laurel and Hardy’s,
“The Conversation,” “Singin’ in the Rain.”
Liz: This is what we’re here to talk about.
Liz shows Bandicott Navarro’s artificial eye.
Liz: You custom built this for a drug dealer named Navarro.
Bandicott: I don’t know who that is, sweetheart.
[ Liz picks up the soldering gun and threatens Bandicott with it ]
Liz: Call me “Sweetheart” again.
Bandicott: Hey, I’m serious. Look, I-I-I’m cooperating here. Guy who came in, I never worked with him before, but he wasn’t the kind of dude you say no to, which I’m guessing you guys know by now. He never told me his name, and I’ve been doing this long enough not to ask. …
Red: That’s not all you know, Cleveland. He had specifications.
Bandicott: Definitely. Man knew exactly what he
wanted. And that that eye was only the beginning. I’ve built him what might be the most advanced surveillance and counter surveillance gear out there right now.
Red: And this man was familiar with the state of the art?
Bandicott: Are you kidding? … Man, you know, it was almost like the guy was–
Red: A cop? Thank you, Cleveland. You’ve been a terrific help.

Liz: It still isn’t, but I think under the circumstances, it’s what’s best for everyone.
Cooper: Under the circumstances? Meaning that whatever you learned about Tom’s death you think having a badge is necessary to get revenge. Why?
Liz: Because I think whoever killed Tom has one, too.
Cooper: He’s police? Federal or state?
Liz: I don’t know, but if he is a cop, he’s not the only one. And I’m gonna need you, everyone, if I’m gonna have any chance at taking them down.

༺ ♤ ༻

Brief: Liz hoodwinked both Red and the Cooper by using material evidence (a valuable penny) associated with Blacklister Abraham Stern to steal material evidence (a bloody rag) from police evidence files linking her to the death of Bobby Navarro, a man she believes worked for the man who killed Tom, Blacklister Ian Garvey, who she knows only as the ‘man with the Damascus knife.’ Before she killed Navarro in an altercation, Navarro told her that her ex-fiancé, ER MD Nik Korpal, was helping Tom, not the other way around. She still does not know (though Red does) that Nik was helping Tom ID bones left for Liz by Mr Kaplan, Red’s deceased long-time cleaner, to reveal a buried secret of Red’s. Tom learned whose bones they were from DNA analysis but died before he could tell Liz. Ian Garvey now has the bones, unbeknowst to either Red or Liz. To dispose of Navarro’s body, Liz used the methods employed by S1 Blacklister Stanley Kornish (The Stewmaker) ~ using chemicals to dissolve his body and flush it down a motel room’s bathtub drain. In this process, Liz discovered that Navarro had a glass eye equipped with “next gen” electronics, whose existence she has shared with Red.

the rope,🔥igniting the liquid in the jars which fall and
set the room ablaze🔥The man smiles ]
[ A woman is heard outside the door ]
Woman: Is someone there? I’m going to call the cops.
[ The woman opens the door and is engulfed in flames ] [ Screams ]
[ The man lifts his bottle to the woman ]
[ The man gathers up his ladder and bag and leaves ]

Liz: I got your message. You found someone who can analyze Navarro’s glass eye?
Red: He can see us this afternoon. …
Liz: … [A]ll that matters is we find out who put that in Navarro’s head and whether it can lead us to Tom’s killers – and the truth.
Red: The truth?
Liz: The last time I spoke to Tom, he told me, “I figured it out – Why Nik died, everything.” That’s why I went home – to find the truth. But they got to him first.
Red: My contact lives with his mother. She’s not particularly fond of me. … I believe she feels I’m a bad influence on her son. I thought a gesture of goodwill might smooth things over.

Liz: You think an empty terrarium is goodwill? Whoa!
Red: [ Laughs ] The mother’s family operates a pet café in Kyoto. You can enjoy the most savory tsukemen ramen in and around a variety of animals native to Japan – cormorants, katydids, the occasional tanuki.
Liz: And you thought spiders would be a welcome addition?
Red: Joro spiders. In Japanese folklore, the joro is said to be able to change its appearance to that of a beautiful woman who seduces men, binding them in her web before devouring them. Hence its name “joro-gumo,” or “whore spider.”
Liz: Oh.
Red: Here’s the mother’s work address and a note. If you could please drop them off?
Liz: No! Me?
Red: I have a time-sensitive case for the Task Force. …
Liz: Do you know what Tom was talking about? When he said he figured it out?
Red: Tom was a man of many truths. Which of those he was going to divulge, I can’t say.

Red: My sincere apologies. I hope Paris has taken good care of you. …
Samar: He made me an egg dish I can’t even pronounce. It was divine. As is your suite, which is why in the future, I think we should meet elsewhere.
Red: And why is that?
Samar: Because being here gives me the impression that crime pays.
Red: [ Laughs ] What are the most expensive crimes in America?
Samar: Expensive?
Red: Top three.
Samar: Theft, armed robbery–
Red: Arson. 500,000 arson fires occur each year, costing over $2 billion in property loss.
Samar: [ Reading ] “Husband and wife die in house fire.”
Red: In those 500,000 fires, about 500 people die – one per thousand. Arsonists are many things, but rarely premeditating murderers.
Samar: [Reading] “An accelerant was found, but no motive or suspect.”
Red: Because they’re looking at the case the wrong way. This wasn’t arson that resulted in murder. This was a murder committed by arson.
Samar: But you said arsonists are rarely murderers.
Red: A fact which makes The Cook both rare and dangerous and the next name on the Blacklist. …

Ressler: [H]e says this “Cook” is a serial killer posing as an arsonist.
Cooper: And yet he can’t I.D. The Cook, and the only fire he told us about is one that arson investigators don’t believe was a homicide.
Ressler: I suppose Reddington knows better.

Samar: No, but he knows someone who does. Earl Fagen.
Aram: The arson investigator slash arsonist?
Cooper: Fagen hid in plain sight for years, was lead investigator on a dozen fires that he set. No one knows more about fire or the men and women who set them. …
Ressler: What’s the catch?
Samar: Fagen is up for parole – he helps us, Reddington
would like us to help him.
Cooper: I don’t like it. But if there’s a serial killer out there– …
Ressler: Less than 15% of all arson cases are ever solved. Maybe we need the help.
Cooper: … If he helps us get The Cook, maybe, maybe, we’ll put in a good word. If not, we’ll make sure he stays put.

[ Earl Fagen inhales and exhales deeply ]
Earl Fagen: Irregular burn patterns, use of accelerants…. Multiple points of origin. He wanted it to burn hot.
Samar: And why is that?
Fagen: He wanted to see the flashover? Stand back and watch?
Ressler: We’re gonna need a little more than “maybe he wanted to watch.” So, what floated your boat?
Fagen: I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t an element of arousal to the whole thing – a certain gratification. But for me – fire filled the vacuum within me. It gave me a sense of relief.
Ressler: What is it? …
Fagen: Might you be able to get me a blacklight?

 

༺ ♤ ༻

 
[ The blacklight buzzes and hums, lighting up a pattern on the wall – An upside-down star – underneath which is written – ]
Ressler: [ Reading ] “Discipline not faith.” What the hell does that mean?
Samar: Why would he leave a message we wouldn’t be able to find?
Fagen: [ Scoffs ] Boy, oh, boy. Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. Y’all got a real humdinger of a firebug on your hands.

Aram: All right. … [S]o far we’ve found four fires under investigation with the same inverted pentagram and inscription. …
Samar: How many deaths are we up to?
Aram: Seven. And if you’re looking for a common denominator among the victims, good luck. …
Ressler: Are there any survivors, anyone who can tell us why they were targeted?
Aram: It seems that he’s only missed once, when he burned down a small ranch house in Tenleytown. The owner is an ER doctor – Corrine Egan. …

Red: You left them. Spiders.
Liz: She wasn’t in her office. What did you expect me to do, drive around with them? Besides, what difference does it make if his mother likes you or not? I mean, it’s not like he’s 16.
Red: No, he is not 16. [ Knocking at gate ] He’s 15.
Tadashi: And a half. Just got my learner’s permit.
Red: Elizabeth, this is Tadashi. Is your mom home? Has she said anything about the gift I sent?
Liz: I need to speak with you for a minute. [ Aside, whispering ] He’s a child.
Red: Who turned down Harvard a year ago, and a job at Face– whatever.
Liz: Face-whatever? Really?
Red: Look, I’m a technological moron. I just don’t get it, which is why I surround myself with people who do. Tadashi gets it!
Tadashi: What is thy bidding, my Master?
Liz: [ Sighs ] Apparently, he also gets “Star Wars.”

Samar: Dr. Egan, I understand this is an unsettling development.
Dr Corrine Egan: You’re saying someone was intentionally trying to kill me? No. The investigator I spoke with said that the fire was arson – that it was set to cover up for something he stole.
Samar: Concealment is a common motive for arson. Unfortunately, there’s nothing common about this.
Dr Egan: What is that?
⋘⋙
Religious Expert: The pentagram represents the five limbs of man – his five senses.
⋘⋙
Samar: It was hidden on a wall in your house. Does it mean anything to you?
Dr Egan: “Discipline not faith”?
⋘⋙
Expert: An inverted pentagram is associated with evil. It depicts the natural order turned on its head.
Ressler: The department chair said that you wrote the book on Satanism. Is there anything in there on why this would be left behind? …
Expert: I’d say the symbol is an expression of the killer’s belief
that his victims deserve to be punished. Purified by fire.
⋘⋙
Samar: Maybe you were not the intended victim. Do you live alone?
Dr Egan: Not that night. My brother was with me. …
Talked me into going for a run at 11:15. We came back, and the place was in flames.
⋘⋙
Ressler: You said punished. What for?
Expert: Some perceived sin. Maybe he’s saying just having faith isn’t enough. You have to live that faith every day, and that requires great discipline. …

Red: I sometimes feel as if I should pay more attention to pop culture. Then I see this “Star Wars,” featuring this giant in a bear costume piloting an aircraft and a little green guy swordfighting. And I say a silent prayer of thanks for Tolstoy’s moral crisis.
Liz: Oh, if he can’t figure this out–
Red: This green fellow is considerably too short to be effective in a swordfight.
Tadashi: I assumed since it was an eye it would record video, but there’s no camera. And I can’t find a mic.
Liz: So, what does it do?
Tadashi: No clue. It’s using encrypted firmware. Even the boot loader is tamper-resistant. This is gonna take a while, assuming I can crack it at all. …
 

༺ ♤ ༻

 
Liz: Do you not know, or you can’t say? – The truth Tom discovered. … Does that mean you don’t know, or is “can’t say” some clever turn of phrase that makes it possible for you to be honest and secretive?
Red: What is this about?
Liz: You’ve asked me to trust. All I do is trust. I trusted Tom – forgave every lie, believed every promise that he would stop keeping things from me. And then he
went off on some secret quest and got himself killed. And now I have killed someone trying to figure out what it was he was keeping from me. And you have kept so many things from me, I would have to be an idiot to believe that this is not one of them. [ Pause ] Thank you.
Red: For what?
Liz: For not pulling some Jedi mind trick.
Red: I don’t know what that is.
Liz: And yet, you’ve mastered it.

that night rented to a William Seavers, Baltimore address.

Ressler: Seavers or whatever his real name is had this place rigged with glass jars with some kind of an accelerant suspended by these strings.
Samar: There were also phrases written on the wall, like in the first crime scene, only visible by blacklight.
Fagen: Maybe he’s not talking to his victims. Maybe he’s also talking to himself.
Samar: What was it like, lying to everyone you worked with, acting like a hero when you were a criminal?
Fagen: You want an honest answer, or are you just trying to make a point?
Samar: Little bit of both.
Fagen: Living a lie was worse than prison. The day I confessed was the day I went to jail. That was also the day I was set free. …
[ Fagen drips liquid from a beaker onto a slip of paper on the table ]
Fagen: Narrow, rectangular, possibly thermal paper the kind commonly used for–
Ressler: Receipts.
Samar: [ Reading ] Havershim Hardware, two days ago. Ammonium nitrate, saltpeter. Looks like he paid cash, 9:17 p.m.
Fagen: Don’t say anything. Really. My freedom’s the only thanks that I need. …

Ressler: A priest. You gotta be kidding me. This guy’s a
