🔴 Script 5:9 Ruin
Brief: Tom Keen is dead – of blood loss after being stabbed multiple times by Blacklister Ian Garvey, who took possession of the mysterious suitcase full of bones in the belief that they would give him power over Red. Tom took the suitcase from Garvey long enough to read the DNA results report (that Garvey had somehow acquired from the DNA database CODIS). Tom intended to share the identity of the bones with Liz when Garvey and his henchman jumped the couple in their home. Red intervened in time to save Liz’s life but Tom died in the hospital. Liz suffered a severe concussion and when she awoke, Red had to inform her not only of Tom’s death but that she has been a coma for ten months.

Liz: [ To dog ] Hi. Hi. I know, I know.

♪ And you treated my woman
To a flake of your life
And when she came back
She was nobody’s wife

[ The generator starts, but quits after a few seconds ]
[ Liz enters a store stocked with machine parts, some processed food ]
Liz: Still have an L14-20 male plug? I saw one here last week.
Early: On your left, by the timing belt. Genny out again?
Liz: Oh, Early, if anything worked up at that place, I’d get bored.
Early: [ Chuckles ] Storm’s coming. Did you see the weather?
Liz: Yeah, they say ice.
Early: It’s early for ice. Leaves are still on the trees, but that’s what they say. Few inches. You get that VHF radio working?
Liz: It’s on my to-do list.
[ Liz pays for the generator part ]
Liz: [ Leaving ] Stay warm.
Early: Stay warm, Grace.
[ Liz starts the generator ] [ Kate barks ]
[ Liz uses an axe to split a log ]
Flashback:
Dr Nguyen: Focus now. Push yourself.
[ Liz is in rehab, trying to lift arm weights ]
Liz: [ Exhales deeply ] It feels like glass under my skin. [ Inhales sharply, groans, sighs ] I can’t.
Dr Nguyen: Well, that shoulder spent 10 months in a coma, same as you, without rehab. It’s unstable. Trust me, pain is good. Pain says your body’s still working.
Liz: I just want out of the chair. [ Liz is in a wheelchair ]
Nguyen: We’ll get you there, but this is gonna take a while.
Liz: [ Sighing ] Okay. [ Grunts ] [ Groans ]
[ Liz splits another log ]
[ Knock on door. Liz peers out, then opens it. Colin Knox, wearing a hat saying “Alaska State Ranger”, enters with a package ]
Colin Knox: Surprise delivery. It was orphaned at the post office. Mary said it had been there over a week, and thought maybe you forgot about it.
Liz: That’s sweet. You didn’t have to drive out here in this weather.
Colin: Believe me, I know that. Colder than an Alaskan outhouse right now.
Liz: Oh, I’m sorry, Colin. Come on in.
Colin: Thanks.
Liz: You headed to the station?
Colin: Yep. Boss wants someone on site. Hey, Kate! They say we’re supposed to get some ice tonight. I wasn’t here for the storm back in ’03, but they were without power in town for nine days.
Liz: I’ll send you with some coffee.
[ Fire crackles ]
Colin: If you ever wanted to come along sometime, I’d be happy to give you a tour.
Liz: That sounds nice. Maybe when the weather passes.
Colin: Yeah, yeah, sure. That’s what I meant. When you gonna unpack?
Liz: Oh, pbht. I’m sure I’ll get around to it sooner or later.
Colin: Happy to help if you want.
Liz: I’ll let you know. Be careful out there.
Colin: Okay, then. Bye, Kate.
[ Kate barks ] [ Liz closes the door ]
Flashback:
[ Liz visits Tom’s grave. The monument is engraved: “KEEN / TOM / 1985 – 2017 / HUSBAND AND FATHER” ]
Liz: Hey, you.
[ Liz places a single red rose on the gravestone ]
Liz: [ Crying softly, she sits on the ground ] [ Voice breaking ] I’m not doing very well. I told myself I wasn’t gonna tell you that. [ Sniffles ] That’s the last thing you need to hear, right? [ Sniffles ]
[ Sighs ] I’m thinking about going away.
[ Kate barking ] [ Kate is up on her hind legs, front paws on the window sill, insistently barking ]
[ Liz lets Kate out. With her gun drawn, she follows the dog past the generator. A man is lying on his back on the ground. Liz looks around. She reaches for the man’s neck to check his pulse. The man’s eyes open and he grabs her arm ]
Liz: [ Gasps ]
Man: [ Mumbles ]
[ Liz pulls a toboggan with the man on it. He is wrapped in a blanket ]
[ Inside the cabin, the man is on a couch. Liz pulls back the man’s bloody coat and shirt. Both have been slashed through. The man has an angry gash across his abdomen ]
[ Liz dresses the man’s wound, then bundles him up in blankets ]
[ Liz is in an outdoor shed, getting the radio to work ] [ Radio static ]
Man on radio: … getting the hell out of here. Temperature is 20 degrees. … the wind chill. … Contact park entrance is … Open the fire road is alt–

Man over radio [ Russian weather report ]: ochin’ holadna vetir maroz skvernaia pagoda

Liz: Can anyone read me? Is anyone hearing this? Hello?
[ Static ]
[ Liz tries to start her truck ] [ Engine sputtering ]
Liz: Oh, come on.
[ Engine sputtering ] [ Sighs ] [ Groans ] [ She pounds the steering wheel ]
Liz sits in the dark near the bed with the wounded man.
Flashback:
[ Cooper, Ressler and Samar and Aram are visiting Liz at her home ]
Cooper: … and Karakurt popped out of the trunk. Tom had brought him to my doorstep. I should’ve been livid, but he was – and I’ll deny ever admitting this – he was pretty damn charming about the whole thing.
Ressler: You remember that cabin? Oh, that cabin. Mathias Solomon, a few thousand rounds of ammo later, I finally got my hearing back.
Cooper: Keen was good in the field, though.
Ressler: [ Proposes toast ] Well, to Tom.
— To Tom.
— To Tom.
— To Tom.
Liz: [ Sighs ]
[ Through the worsening ice storm, Liz walks to the Alaska State Ranger Station with Kate. No one is there ]
Woman on radio: Stay tuned to this channel for all updates. To repeat, this is radio KAKF Alaska issuing weather warnings for the following boroughs Bethel, Denali–

[ Liz shuts the radio off. She looks at the photos on Colin’s desk ]
Flashback:
[ Liz looks at family photos. She is packing. Only a few empty shelves remain on the walls of the home she shared with Tom and Agnes ]
Liz: I need you to promise me something.
Red: Of course.
Liz: The Blacklist. I need you to promise me you’ll keep working on it with the Task Force.
Red: Doesn’t work without you.
Liz: It has to.
Red: I think we’ve done enough.
Liz: What you’ve done – [ Sighs ] What you’ve made it possible for the Task Force to do– You know, I’ve never thanked you for that. Why you do it, what you get out of it at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. But I need you to promise me you’re gonna keep doing it.
Red: I promise.
Liz: Thank you. I have one more favor to ask you. And it’s not gonna be easy for you, but it’s important to me.
Red: Okay.
Liz: I don’t want you to follow me. You’re gonna let go. Can you do that?
Red: What about Agnes?
[ Liz scribbles a note for Colin across a message pad: “There’s been an Emergency. Come when you can X Grace” ]
[ Wind howling ] [ Liz and Kate arrive back at the cabin. The lights in the cabin are on ] [ Kate barking ] [ Liz draws and cocks her gun and enters the cabin ]
[ There are three men standing around the bed with the wounded man in it (Ellis, Orson, Fifield) ]
Liz: What the hell is going on here?
[ A fourth man, Billy, enters. Liz points her gun at him ]
Billy: Whoa. Oh. Hey. Take it easy, lady.
Liz: Who the hell are you people?
[ In the cabin’s living room ]
Billy: Sorry if we scared you, I just I don’t know if we’d have laste [sic] much longer out there in that wind.
Liz: You said your plane went down?
Billy: Uh, no, not my plane. Charter. Ellis read about these, uh, fishing trips outta Lake Hood. [ Chuckling ] I mean, seemed like a good idea at the time. Always does, right? You know, floatplanes, campfires, big sky.
Ellis: We hit weather.
Orson: What we hit was ice.
Billy: Yeah, I could, uh, see it freezing up on the wing. Couple inches. Before we knew it, it started breaking off.
Ellis: Sounded like a damn hammer hitting that plane. Bam, bam, bam.
Billy: Yeah, yeah, it must have busted something ’cause last thing I know, the pilot was saying he lost an engine.
Liz: And you went down where?
Ellis: A mile back, maybe two.
Liz: I didn’t hear anything.
Orson: Hell, it was further than that.
Billy: I-It must have been 6, uh, 10 miles. I-I don’t know, the weather, we got turned around.
Liz: And you were all able to just walk away?
Billy: Well, we got lucky. The pilot–
Liz: Is he the guy in the other room?
Billy: Yeah, no. Pilot didn’t, uh didn’t make it, we had to leave him. Mike the guy in your bedroom was cut up pretty bad on the way down.He knew he was bleeding, but he didn’t want to wait for help, so he started walking. Dumb son of a bitch.
Ellis: We couldn’t talk sense into him.
Orson: Temperature dropped. Thought we were gonna die out there, so–
Billy: So, we just started walking. We never found Mike, but we saw the smoke from your chimney. No lights, no locks– We thought the place was empty.
[ They walk into the bedroom ]
Liz: He was out when I found him.
Billy: How’d you find him?
Liz: Actually, he found me.
Billy: Is he gonna be okay?
Liz: Not if we don’t get him to a hospital. I closed up his wounds, but he’s bleeding internally. You can tell by his breathing. There’s blood in his airways. He’s got a few hours, maybe.
Billy: What about the roads?
Liz: Good luck out there. It’s an ice rink. Block’s frozen on my truck. Even if I had a phone, the lines are down. Look, bottom line is, we got to get your friend out of here fast, and I have no idea how.
[ Billy shows her his walkie-talkie ]
Billy: We had these to stay in touch on the trip. You know, maybe we could–
Liz: These are short range. Good if we want to talk to each other, but useless if we wanna call for help.
Billy: I never asked your name.
Liz: Grace. It’s Grace.
Billy: Grace. That’s nice.
Liz: You’re bleeding.
[ Liz is suturing the cut in Billy’s upper arm ]
Billy: So, what’s your story, anyway? Up here, all alone. [ Winces ]
Liz: You know the story – a girl in a cabin with a gun and a dog.
Billy: [ Ice crunches ] I don’t think I’ve heard that one.
Liz: I’ll tell it to you sometime when you don’t have a needle sticking out of your arm. Trust me, it’s not that interesting.
Billy: [ Scoffs ] Well, I doubt that. I don’t know many peop- people who, uh, could diagnose internal bleeding by the sound of somebody’s breathing. You a doctor or something?
Liz: Turn this way.
Billy: Come on. There has to be a halfway decent story. No Mr. Mysterious? Out there on his way home right now?
Lz: There was once. Didn’t work out.
Flashback:
[ On the couch in her home, Liz talks to Susan (“Scottie”) Hargrave, Tom’s Mom. Agnes is sitting on a rug in front of them, scribbling on a piece of paper ]
Liz: I don’t know who killed Tom or why. But I saw them. And so they might come after me, and if they did, and anything should happen to Agnes–
Scottie: Liz, I told you you don’t have to explain that to me.
Liz: This is hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m just so angry, and she knows it. And I can’t make it go away.
Scottie: Agnes will be fine.
Liz: [ Sniffles ] And what about you? What about the pain you’re feeling, the anger? Can you protect her from that?
Scottie: I spent 30 years mourning Tom’s loss. Where you are now I was there the day he disappeared from that beach when he was a little boy. Yes, I’m sad and angry. But Tom coming back to me after all these years was a gift.
Liz: [ Voice breaking ] He loved you very much.
Scottie: It couldn’t have been easy for him. Testifying for me against his father. But he didn’t hesitate. The boy I’d given up for dead came back to life to save me. And to give me his beautiful baby girl, who I’m gonna spoil rotten.
Liz: She loves Cheerios, and Thomas the Train in the morning. And she gets so cranky if she’s hot at night, so just a light blanket.
Scottie: Liz. She’s gonna be fine. She is. Okay. I’m gonna take good care of her. She’ll be healthy and happy. And when you are – and that will happen – you’ll take her back.
Liz: [ Sighs ]
Billy: Grace?
Liz: Huh?
Billy: I said, “What’s the diagnosis?”
Liz: [ Smiles wryly ] I think you might live.
Billy: Ah, good.
[ Wind howling ]
Liz: I need to go check the radio.
Billy: There’s a- There’s a radio?
Liz: An old one in the barn. Used for calling in weather reports. It hasn’t worked in years, but if I could get it running–
Billy: Well, uh, you want a hand? I’ll- I’ll help.
Liz: I’m a big girl.
[ In the out building ]
Liz: If anyone can hear me, acknowledge this transmission. Copy? [ Static ] Anybody? Hello?
[ Man speaking Russian on radio ]
Liz: [ To Kate, scratching her neck ] Hey. What do you think of these guys, huh? Yeah, I’m not buying it, either.
[ Door opens. Liz enters the cabin. Colin is there ]
Colin: Oh, there you are. I got your note, came as soon as I could.
Billy: The cavalry showed up.
Colin: What’s going on?
Liz: Like they said, there’s been an accident.
Colin: No. I know what they said. Where were you fellas flying out of?
Billy: Lake Hood. Fishing charter.
Ellis: Yeah, we are lucky to be alive.
Billy: Our friend Mike, in the bedroom, he’s not so lucky. We got to get him to a doctor.
Colin: The roads are impossible. It’s only getting worse. Radio’s down at the station. I had to walk here.
Liz: There’s a radio on the plane.
Billy: Ah, tried that. Didn’t work.
Liz: Well, if we could get it to work, or at least get the locator working on the black box, then Search & Rescue could get a Snowcat down here and medevac your friend out.
Orson: I can help. I have a decent sense of direction. I can get us back to that wreckage, I know it.
Colin: What about you? You gonna be okay here?
Liz: No, I’m not okay. There’s a stranger bleeding to death in my bed and you could use me out there.
Billy: Yeah, but if you go, who looks after Mike? ‘Cause I can’t. Please, don’t make me tell his wife he died on my watch.
[ Liz gets Colin alone ]
Liz: Hey, I got a question for you. These guys, their story anything seem off to you?
Colin: What do you mean “off”?
Liz: They walked 10 miles in this weather? From a crash I never heard.
Colin: Don’t be silly.
Liz: [ Scoffs ] Not a broken bone on one of them. I think I should go with you.
Colin: You’re being paranoid. Come on. Everything will be fine. We’ll be back before you know it.
[ Colin has left with Orson ] [ Door to bedroom closes ]
Liz: It’s all right. You’re gonna be okay. We’re gonna get you some help. Your friends are in the other room.
[ Mike taps to get Liz’s attention ]
Mike: [ Labored ] Not friends.
Liz: Then who the hell are they?
[ Liz gives Mike a drink of water ]
Mike: Th-They’ll kill you, too. Ratted Carlucci family.
Liz: The Carlucci crime family? What are you doing up here?
Mike: Witness protection.
Liz: WitSec dumped you up here, but your old friends found you just the same.
Mike: Please th-they’ll kill me.
[ Liz puts her gun under the blanket with Mike ]
Liz: How are we gonna get you out of here?
Mike: They’ll kill you, too.
⋘⋙
[ Billy enters. Ice crunching ]
Billy: Everything okay in here?
Liz: Yeah. He’s good. He’ll push through a few more hours. He’s a fighter.
[ Wind howling ]
Billy: That crash – I never thought our little hunting adventure would turn out like this.
Liz: Hunting? I thought you said you were fishing?
Billy: What?
[ Glass shatters ]
Liz: Oh, damn it. Sorry.
Billy: Here, let me help.
Liz: No, no. You stay put. There’s glass everywhere.
[ Ellis is eating peanut butter from a jar ]
Billy: Ellis. Hey. Get your damn feet off the table, man. Show some respect.
Ellis: Seriously?
Billy: [ Clears throat ] Bears.
Liz: What?
Billy: What I wanted to hunt – bears. I had, uh grand vision of bagging a grizzly. Orson and the others, they wanted to fish. We were gonna split up the trip. They didn’t get their fish, I didn’t get my bear.
Liz: You know it’s illegal to hunt bears.
Billy: What’s the matter you never broke a rule or two?
Liz: You done with that?
Ellis: I guess.
[ Liz takes the spoon and jar of peanut butter ]
Billy: Why do you still wear your ring?
Liz: Excuse me?
Billy: Wedding ring on your finger.
Liz: My husband gave it to me.
Billy: I thought you said that didn’t work out. What happened?
[ Utensils clatter ]
Liz: I lost him.
Billy: That’s why you’re up here in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of unpacked boxes. Just a lady and her dog and a gun.
Liz: [ Sighs ] Where is Kate?
Billy: Who?
Liz: Kate, my dog.
[ Door opens ] [ Orson enters ]
Orson: You were right about that weather. I was not dressed warm enough.
Liz: Where’s Colin?
Orson: We got about a mile down the trail, bumped into another ranger on a three-wheeler. He only had room for one, so they headed back to town, said they’d call for help. Told me to get back here before I froze.
Liz: Have you seen my dog?
Orson: What? No.
Liz: Kate? Kate?
[ Liz enters the bedroom, retrieves her gun ]
Ellis: You sure she’s not in the barn? Maybe she got spooked with the storm and all.
Liz: Think I’ll brave the weather. She’s probably outside.
[ Liz starts the garbage disposal. As before, it trips the generator. The lights go out ]
Billy: The hell was that?
Liz: Damn generator. It happens all the time.
Billy: So what do we do?
Liz: You do nothing. I’m gonna go fix it.
Billy: It’s bad out. You’ll need help.
Liz: You know the one that I have learned all my time out here alone?
Billy: What’s that?
Liz: Men just get in my way. I’ll be right back.
[ Wind howling ] [ Liz enters the out building with the radio setup ] [ Radio whirs ] [ Liz picks up the microphone. The cord has been severed ] [ Magazine clatters ] [ Beeping in distance ]
[ Liz uses her flashlight to look around. She finds both Kate and, under a blanket, Colin. Both are dead, their throats cut ]
Flashback:
Red: You’ve entrusted Agnes to Scottie Hargrave?
Liz: Yes. To Tom’s mother.
Red: Who ordered a hit on your wedding.
Liz: She didn’t know who we were. She’s a good person, and she’ll keep Agnes safe. Look, I know you took care of her while I was in the hospital, and I can’t thank you enough for that, but this is my decision. And I need you to respect that.
Red: Okay, I will. I want you to promise me something.
Liz: What?
Red: That you’ll grieve.
Liz: Of course I’ll grieve. What is this that you think I’m doing?
Red: I think you’re running away from your problems when you should be facing them. I’m sure it feels like you’re staring into an abyss, but until you mourn, you won’t be able to cross it.
Liz: What’s so great about crossing it? What’s on the other side? Peace? Tranquility?
Red: Some.
Liz: [ Scoffs ] I prefer revenge.
Red: That’s what I’m afraid of.
Liz: Really? ‘Cause imagining what I’m gonna do to Tom’s killers it’s the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning.
Red: Don’t just go off and hide in the dark. Wherever you go, look for some light.
Liz: [ Sighs, sniffles ]
Liz: [ On walkie-talkie ] Hey, Billy, you there?
Billy: [ Ice crunching ] Grace? What’s going on out there? [ Coughs ] Why haven’t the lights come back?
Liz: Because you killed my dog and you killed my friend Colin.
Billy: Don’t make this any harder than it has to be. We haven’t killed you yet.
Liz: And I haven’t killed you yet. I know that man in my room is not your friend, just like there was no plane crash.
Billy: Car accident, actually. [ Coughs ] Trying to get out of this weather. Our trunk popped open. Damn cargo ran off into the woods. [ Coughs ] We chased the son of a bitch for hours. I’m not leaving here without him.
Liz: Why not just kill him? Why not kill me?
Billy: We needed you to keep him breathing. Boss wants him back alive so he can tell us what he told the Feds. Only then can he die. Slowly. That’s my specialty. [ Ice clatters ] [ Ice crunching ] And now you can, too.
Liz: That’s a nasty habit you’ve got there. I noticed.
Billy: Enough, you’re one woman in the middle of a storm against the four of us. It doesn’t end well for you, Grace. [ Coughs ]
Liz: What’s that, Billy? Billy, you okay? That’s a stupid question. You’re not okay because my name’s not Grace. It’s Elizabeth. You wanted to know about my past? I was an FBI agent.
Billy: [ Coughs ]
Liz: A profiler. And I smelled you out the minute you walked in my door. That’s why I froze broken glass into those ice cubes you love to chew.
Billy: [ Coughs ]
Liz: So now every time you breathe, you’re inhaling those little shards deeper into your throat and lungs.
[ Billy sticks his finger in his mouth. It’s bloody ]
Billy: [ Coughs ] You’re dead.
Liz: No, Bill. For the first time, I’m feeling pretty alive. So if you want to come for me, you better come ready for a fight, because you know what the four of you against me in the woods is gonna be? Practice.
NBC: 5:9 Episode Highlight: Don’t mess with Liz (3mins 48secs)
Billy: She’s one person.
Orson: She was an FBI agent.
Billy: She’s alone.
Orson: She fed you glass.
[ Ellis wheels, gurgling; he falls to the ground, mouth foaming ]
Billy: It was her.
Orson: How? She’s not even in here.
Billy: She drugged him. She drugged the food.
Orson: With what?
Billy: Does it matter? It worked.
Orson: What are we gonna do?
Billy: [ Coughs ] You remember that money launderer down in Palmdale squatting in that shack? [ Coughs ] He was dug in like a tick. Same thing here. We surround her and we tighten the noose.
[ Wind howling ]
[ Billy, Orson and Fifield enter the out building looking for Liz ]
[ Suddenly, Billy screams and falls, his foot caught in a bear trap ]
Orson: What the hell? What’s going on?
Billy: Fi-Field, get over here! Get this thing off me! Come on.
– Got it.
– Grab that. Grab that side.
– Now pull!
[ The three men return to the cabin. Billy is limping now ]
Billy: She can’t get far. [ Coughs ] Whole damn mountain’s frozen solid.
Orson: Guys, we got a problem.
[ The bed where Mike had been is now empty ]
Fifield: Even better. Now she’s got cargo.
Billy: She’ll be twice as slow.
[ Wind howling ]
[ Orson searches outdoors with a rifle and flashlight. He sees a small shed half dug into the ground with one of its twin doors open. He steps down the stairs. The single room is empty except for some propane in the corner ]
[ Suddenly, liquid pours from above around Orson. The door to the shed shuts. Liz locks the bolt from the outside ]
[ Liz flicks a lighter and drops it into the ventilator shaft ]
💥🔥💥Explosion💥🔥💥
Orson: [ Screaming ] [ Grunts ] [ Grunts ] Ah!
[ Liz pulls a toboggan through the woods. Mike is wrapped up snugly on the toboggan ]
[ Liz is jumped from the side by Fifield ] [ Gasps, groans ]
[ Liz takes an axe from the toboggan and buries its head into Fifield’s chest ]
Fifield: Ah! [ Gasps, coughs ]
[ Liz pulls Mike to the Ranger Station. Lock disengages ]
Liz: [ To Mike ] It’s okay. We’re gonna get you out of here. We’re gonna get you some help.
[ Liz turns on a battery-powered light. She gathers some flares, a flare gun and other items ]
[ Thud ] [ Clatter ] [ Someone shoots 💥 the lock open ] [ Billy enters ]
Billy: [ Breathing heavily ] From one professional to another, you’re pretty good. I told my guys tonight’d be easy. Hunker down, wait out the storm, lie to the lady. [ Coughs ]
Liz: You can apologize to them soon.
Billy: But you’re all out of tricks now.
[ Liz backs away, pulling down furniture to block his advance toward her ]
Billy: You’re all out of traps. I promised them I’d kill you. Slow.
[ Liz splashes alcohol or kerosene in Billy’s face and clothing ]
Billy: Aah! [ Groaning ] [ Screaming ]
[ Liz runs out, pulling the toboggan ]
[ Liz trips. She opens her backpack, scrummages. Billy limps up to Liz and Mike on the toboggan ]
Billy: It’s over. There’s nowhere left to run.
Liz: Who’s running? I told you I’m here to fight.
[ Liz shoots at Billy with a flare gun. Still wet with flammable liquid, he ignites in a fireball 🔥💥 🔥 ]
Billy: Aah! [ Groaning ]

For S5 Episode 5:9 Ruin 🎯 EW recap ¤ 🌅 Photo Gallery ¤ 📚 ❣Storybook❣ ¤ 📒 Script link: http://wp.me/pDKwi-6IA [ “you are here” ]
Thoughts: Liz’s transformation seems to me to reflect Red’s story of the blind fish.
Red: It may be hard for you to imagine, but I once had a relatively normal life– bills to pay, playdates, family, some friends, people to care about. Lost all that.
Liz: Lost how?
Red: In Mexico, there are these fish that have colonized the freshwater caves along Sierra del Abra. They were lost. They found themselves living in complete darkness. But they didn’t die. Instead, they thrived. They adapted. They lost their pigmentation, their sight, eventually even their eyes. With survival, they became hideous. I’ve rarely thought about what I once was. But I wonder if a ray of light were to make it into the cave, would I be able to see it? Or feel it? Would I gravitate to its warmth? And if I did, would I become less hideous? [ Earlier in 5:9 Ruin, Red cautioned Liz: “Don’t just go off and hide in the dark. Wherever you go, look for some light.” ]
Like Red, Liz’s attempt to have a normal life with Tom – however ridiculous a dream that might have been – has ended. Like Red, she has had to take control of (and assume responsibility for) her life – wherever that may may take her. Megan Boone has commented on this, including about discussions she had with the writers about Liz’s character development. At 34, Liz has for the first time escaped from Red long enough to assume “agency” in her own life:
Yahoo, Kimberly Potts: ‘The Blacklist’ Postmortem: Megan Boone on Liz’s Chilling Motivation and (Possibly) Outsmarting Red http://yhoo.it/2lP8ATc
// 1/3/2018, Excerpts
Yahoo: You said you didn’t put on the old “Liz costume” for the rest of Season 5, and I think we see that’s true at the end of this episode. So how would you describe the new Liz? What are her main qualities going forward?MB: She is willing to face the extraordinary circumstances of her life. And she’s willing to live in the anger and pain that [those circumstances] caused. And I think for a very long time, we saw ‘our Liz Keen’, who was fighting bad and in denial of it, but now she’s looking right down the barrel of it, and she’s activated. …
Yahoo: But you sound very excited about the new direction for Liz. What was your reaction when you got the script, or when you first talked to the writers about this storyline after Tom’s death?
MB: This came at a very good time because I had reached the point where I was ready to really … I was really ready to push for Liz to go down the logical next chapter of her life, which was to actually face things head on and take some authority over her life. And the writers came to me … actually, I think I came to them saying that’s what I really wanted to see happen, and then they sent me almost immediately the draft that they had been working on for this episode. So it sort of happened congruently and in a very perfect way. I knew that after Tom died, nothing could ever be the same. And this has been something … when you have a series that goes for so long, and your character’s growth and transformation is the one that’s sort of like … Red doesn’t really change, Red is Red. But Liz has gotten on this extreme journey of self-realization. And when you’re on that journey for 100 episodes, it feels like you’re just ch[o]mping at the bit. [Let’s] get to the next phase. …
I like that the arc takes up the theme of ‘agency’ that I tried to address back in 2015 in “What is The Cabal?”
Can we trust ourselves with our own future and that of our planet or have we lost our sense of agency: can we even begin to comprehend the consequences of our actions? “Every cause has more than one effect.” We feel enmeshed in an indecipherable network of causality, in which it impossible to act morally because we can identify neither reachable goals nor meaningful actions.Has the Enlightenment itself failed? – that world of rights and responsibilities in which the individual was the measure of all things, the crux of ethics and morality, the agent of action. This question frames the dreadful legacy we may leave to our children. They will live with the consequences of our inaction, of our inability to bear the burden of moral and effective self-governance. “A Republic,” Ben Franklin cautioned: “– if you can keep it.” In light of all our missteps going back to the 1980s, however, one thing is obvious: “We can’t stay here.”
Like it or not, we all face this challenge, particularly those of us who are female in this day and age. I can’t wait to see where the writers take this. Can Liz be “activated,” have “agency,” and still keep her humanity, including her ability to be a parent? Can a “sinner also be a saint”?
I also think it’s time for Megan Boone to be made a producer of some stripe, as James Spader has insisted on for his character. She has so much to contribute, including being that advocate for Liz that the character has needed for so long. The Blacklist has become very much Liz’s story.

♫ Famous Blue Raincoat
By Leonard Cohen♪ It’s four in the morning, the end of December
I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better
New York is cold, but I like where I’m living
There’s music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you’re building your little house deep in the desert
You’re living for nothing now, I hope you’re keeping some kind of record.♪ Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?♪ Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You’d been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene♪ And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody’s wife.♪ Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane’s awake –♪ She sends her regards.
♪ And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I’m glad you stood in my way.♪ If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.♪ Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.♪ And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear –Sincerely, L. Cohen

♫ No Roots
By Alice Merton♪ I like digging holes and
Hiding things inside them
When I grow all the hope / ( alt (from script): When I grow old, I hope)
I won’t forget to find them
Cause, I’ve got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night♪ I build a home and wait for
Someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes
Head for the next time around
Cause, I’ve got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night♪ And a thousand times I’ve seen this road
A thousand times♪ I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots♪ I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots♪ I like standing still but
That’s just the wishful plan
Ask me where I come from
I’ll say a different land
But I’ve got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night♪ I can count the numbers
And play the guessing game
It’s just the place that changes
The rest is still the same
But I’ve got memories and
Travel like gypsies in the night♪ And a thousand times I’ve seen this road
A thousand times♪ I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots♪ I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots♪ I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won’t forget to find them
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won’t forget to find them♪ I’ve got no roots!
No roots!♪ I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I’ve got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots♪ I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots
But my home was never on the ground
