🔴 Script 5:11 Abraham Stern (№ 💯)
Brief: With a new sense of self-confidence, Liz is driven by the single-minded determination to find Tom’s killers. Working outside of the Task Force, she has none-the-less gained access to the case files on the attack and, also relying on her memories of the attack, has set up her apartment as a crime scene with an ad hoc evidence board. Following a tip given her by a police detective assigned to the case, she found her way to Bobby Navarro, Ian Garvey’s lead henchman, who refused to identify Garvey whom Liz has dubbed “Damascus” based on her memory of the type of knife Garvey used to kill Tom. Navarro did tell Liz “Your man wasn’t helping Nik. Nik was helping your man.” When Liz asked “With what?” Navarro attacked her and Liz ended up killing him. Meanwhile, Red has freed Ressler from Henry Prescott, the dirty “fixer” who had blackmailed Ressler over his knowledge that Ressler was involved in the altercation that led to the death of former National Security Advisor Laurel Hitchin. Ressler tried to turn over a signed confession to Cooper about the incident, but Cooper refused to read it. Instead, he put it in a drawer and handed a similar envelope to Ressler, declaring they should pass on their contents to The Powers That Be – but only after the work of the Task Force was completed: “None of us are the people that we were before this task force started – before Reddington.”
For S5 Episode 5:11 Abraham Stern 🎯 EW recap ¤ 🌅 Photo Gallery ¤ 📚 ❣Storybook❣ ¤ 📒 Script link: http://wp.me/pDKwi-6X1 [ “you are here” ]
[ Dembe drives Red in his Mercedes ] [ Red is holding the rare Lincoln penny he got from Greyson Blaise ]
Red: I haven’t felt this giddy since Herbie Hunnicutt and I pooled our box tops and sent away for the decoder ring and periscope. Why is that? What is this feeling?
Dembe: You love treasures, Raymond.
Red: And you don’t? Of course, you do. Everyone loves hidden treasures – Yamashita’s Gold, the Oak Island Money Pit. Hell, even DB Cooper, which was more of a mystery and less of a treasure hunt, really.
Dembe: That’s what you love – the mystery.
Red: Mystery? You know why?
Dembe: Robert Louis Stevenson.
Red: Yes! Edgar Allan Poe. “The Gold Bug.” Oh, what a story. It has everything – a delirious search for treasure, the descent into madness, along with ciphers and bugs, a skull nailed to a tree. What a yarn! If he actually has the locations of the other coins, this could be a massive discovery.
[ TIRES SCREECH ] [ A truck crashes into Red’s car 💥‼️💥 leaving it upside down, throwing the penny free. Red appears stunned, with a bloody nose. Goons get out of the truck; so does Abraham Stern. He retrieves the penny from the pavement ]
Abraham Stern: Thank you, gentlemen. You may go. We got what I came for.
[ He tosses the penny up in the air, catches it ]
[ Liz is at Bobby Navarro’s apartment. She groans, removes a shard of glass from her abdomen, stanching the blood with a rag. She gets cleaning solutions from under the sink. She zips Navarro’s body into a black bag. She sweeps up broken glass, scrubs the blood from the carpet. She again uses the rag to stop her bleeding ]
[ POUNDING ON DOOR ]
Officer #1: Robert Navarro, MPD. We need you to open the door, please.
Officer #2: Let’s go, Bobby, open up.
Officer #1: We’re here with the super. We’re coming in, you hear?
[ Liz stuff the bloody rag into the sink, then ducks into a closet ] [ Police enter ]
Super: Guy’s constantly got people coming and going. Music all night.
Officer #2: Sir, if could you step outside.
Super: I ain’t waiting outside. I know the rules. What’d he do? Drugs? It’s drugs, right?
Officer #2: Apartment’s clear.
Super: You find something wrong, you gotta tell me. That’s how it works.
Police comms: Central to 8637, what’s your status?
Officer #1: 8637 to Central. Domestic disturbance on Fernwick. Mark it unfounded.
Police comms: Copy, 8637. We have a 10-33 in your sector. Requesting backup.
[ Police leave; Super follows ]
Super: All right. We’re good, right? I don’t want no problems with the cops.
[ Liz comes out of the closet ]
[ Cooper’s office ]
Cooper: You were robbed? [ Laughs ] You?
Red: I’m glad my misfortune amuses you.
Copper: It’s just the, uh – irony caught me by surprise. Okay. So –
Red: The very rare 1943 Lincoln penny that I liberated from Grayson Blaise was stolen. The thief knew where to find me. He knew I had it. Now he has it. And I need a little help to get it back.
Cooper: You fooled us once into helping you acquire that penny. I think we’ll pass on helping you reacquire it.
Red: The man we’re looking for – this man is on a quest.
⋘⋙
[ At a bank ]
Abraham Stern: Fantastic news. The loan committee approved an extension. This is a new payment schedule should keep you from defaulting and allow you to repair your truck. I hear there was an accident.
⋘⋙
Red: He has killed in service of it, and unless we stop him, he will kill again. Care to hear more?
[ Red briefs the Task Force ]
Red: In recent years, Federal Reserve Notes issued in the 1930s have turned up in Manila and Singapore.
Ressler: [ Reads from bill projected above ] “The United States of America will pay to the bearer on demand $100,000.” How many of these notes are floating around?
Red: None, according to your government. It denies issuing any such notes and insists the few that have turned up are counterfeit.
Samar: I thought this was about your penny.
Red: It is because without the pennies, we will never find the notes or the man who’s killing to get them.
⋘⋙
Abraham Stern: This is never easy but your P&L statements are not promising. I’m afraid we have no choice but to foreclose.
Frank Dobbs: Please. I’ll do anything.
⋘⋙
Aram: “Pennies” – wasn’t there only one?
Red: No, there are four. Bronze, minted in 1943.
Cooper: Before stealing it, you were willing to spend $3 million of our money to buy one of the pennies at auction.
Red: Collectors value them because they believe they were minted in error – bronze one-offs when every other penny was made of copper. But what collectors don’t know, what makes them truly valuable, is not that they were a mistake, but that there is a code put there by the man who minted them – a map to a vast fortune.
Aram: The lost Federal Reserve Notes that Treasury claims it never made.
Red: Finding the long-lost notes is a quest for the financial holy grail. Hundreds of millions of dollars, redeemable upon request.
Ressler: And the man who attacked you knew this?
Red: Aram, if you would.
Aram: Three security guards murdered at the Sharjah Museum in Dubai, an Italian art collector dies when his home is consumed by a fire set by an unknown arsonist, and just last night, an antiques dealer murdered in Georgetown.
Red: After informing our Blacklister that I’d arranged to meet with him. That’s how he got the where and the when, and he used that intel to ambush me.
Cooper: Three incidents, presumably only three pennies That leaves him one short.
⋘⋙
Abraham Stern: You were once an insurance investigator. Funny I have a personal situation involving a rare coin. Perhaps we could help each other.
⋘⋙
Samar: Any indication he knows where this last penny is?
Red: No, and if he gets it, he gets the code and the treasure, which means we need to locate that penny before he does.
Cooper: Our only interest is in stopping this guy. The treasure’s not our concern.
Red: Oh, don’t be such a spoilsport. This could be such fun! Where’s your sense of adventure?
Aram: I think it sounds like fun.
Red: Thank you, Aram. That’s the spirit. Harold, you could learn a thing or two from your subordinates.
[ The Gabor Museum ]
Woman: Mr Church, these are the men I was telling you about from the insurance company.
Frank Dobbs: Frank Dobbs. Fairbanks & Hienz. We underwrite rare collectibles. And, uh, this is our num uh, numis- numistatic–
Abraham Stern: [ British accent ] Numismatic expert, Ben Farber. I was here last when you mounted the Eliasberg Collection.
Patrick Church: Yes, well, uh Patrick Church, Collections Manager. I understand this is a matter of some urgency.
Stern: It’s about the Lincoln penny you have on display. Is there somewhere we could speak privately?
Officer #1: Like I said, we got the call, super let us take a look around, no sign of any problems.
Detective Singleton: And it was clean? Just like this?
Officer #2: Just like this.
Singleton: It’s too clean.
[ CELLPHONE DIALING ] [ RINGING ]
Singleton: Wyman, hey. Singleton. That’s right. Don’t worry about that. The warrant’s in the works as we speak. I need a team here now. I want you to tear this place apart.
Aram: Okay. Check this out. I think I may have located the fourth penny. All right, after the coins were minted, they disappeared for about 30 years. No record of them anywhere. But then, in 1975, they started to appear at auctions. The missing penny was last sold in 1984, and, according to the bill of sale, the man who bought it passed away two years ago.
Ressler: But did he have it when he died?
Aram: Yes, and it was included in an extensive art collection that he left to the University of Pennsylvania.
Samar: So, they have the coin?
Aram: Yes and no. I spoke to the head of donations at the university, and she says the coin is on loan at the Gabor Museum.
Cooper: Ressler and Navabi, get to the museum. Find out what they know.
Patrick Church: How did you become aware of this?
Abraham Stern: A German auction house sold a cast fake of a litra from Sicily. We have reason to believe that forger duplicated the 1943 coin you have on loan. If so, you may be able to help us solve a case that would eclipse the Ready electrotypes sold by the British Museum.
Church: Can that even be possible?
Frank Dobbs: These people well, they’re very skilled.
Church: But the estate provided us with authentication. If what you’re saying is true, should we be filing a fraud claim?
Stern: Let’s take this one step at a time. Is the coin here? Might I be able to see it?
Church: Of course. Uh, Amber.

Liz: Distraction?
Aram: From looking for Tom’s killers.
Liz: I don’t really see hunting Blacklisters lightening my emotional load.
Aram: Mr. Reddington’s penny– There are four of them. Now, the Blacklister has three out of the four of them, and Agents Ressler and Navabi are en route to the Gabor Museum to find the fourth one.

Liz: And I got the impression you didn’t want me to.
Singleton: So you didn’t, even though you believe that he works for the man that killed your husband?
Liz: I don’t believe. I know.
Singleton: There was a report of a domestic disturbance at Navarro’s place. By the time we got there, his apartment was cleaned, Navarro was gone.
Liz: You think I murdered the one person who could ID my husband’s killer?
Singleton: Did you?
Liz: I’m the last person in the world who would want Navarro dead. Now if there is nothing more–
Singleton: There isn’t. Not until we receive results back from the lab.
Liz: Results?
Singleton: From the bloody rag we found in Navarro’s apartment. Whoever did kill him left it behind.
Church: What do you think?
Stern: I wouldn’t want to say.
Church: You don’t think it’s a fake?
Stern: I’d want Chandler at the INA to look at this, run some tests.

Red: [ On phone ] You don’t have the penny?
Cooper: Nor the Blacklister.
Red: But it was there?
Cooper: MPD booked the penny into evidence. They won’t let us check it out without a court order.
Red: MPD was there before you?
Cooper: They received a tip that the coin was going to be stolen.
Red: A tip from whom?
Cooper: Anonymous. MPD pulled a print off the coin book. With luck, it will help us get an ID on the thief.
Red: The thief is your concern, Harold. Retrieving that penny is mine.
Cooper: The FBI is not going to help you break into a police evidence vault.
Red: No, I wouldn’t think so, Harold. [ Hangs up. To Dembe: ] Let’s go to Elizabeth’s.
[ Liz is mixing the tub with Navarro’s body stewing in the bath of chemicals when her phone vibrates. She picks it up and sits down ]
Red: I’ve been looking for you.
Liz: Aram told me the penny from Lake Como is actually a treasure map. Do I have that right? Are you on some insane treasure hunt?
Red: [ Looking at the ad hoc evidence board in Liz’s living room ] Apparently, I’m not the only one.
Liz: He also thought a hunt would be a good distraction for me. I said “No,” but to tell you the truth, I could use a bit of a distraction right about now. He said you were looking for me. I hope it’s to help.
Red: I’ve cautioned you that in your pursuit of Tom’s killer, you need to restrain your darker impulses.
Liz: Which I’ve done, mostly – more or less.
Red: The help I need violates the spirit of that advice. I wouldn’t even ask for it if it wasn’t critical.
Liz: The answer is “Yes.”
Red: You haven’t even heard the question.
Liz: You’re my father. You need my help. It’s not like you’re gonna ask me to get rid of a body or anything.
Red: As a result of an anonymous tip, the MPD has the penny. I could use your help to get it back.
Liz: Well, if it’s evidence from a crime scene, they keep it downtown in the evidence vault.
Red: Which Harold has shown no inclination to access on my behalf.
Liz: They also keep evidence from class 3 felonies rape, robbery, and homicide.
Red: Tom’s evidence.
Liz: Yes. Now, I don’t have my badge anymore, so maybe the best way to get your penny out is for me to put evidence from that case in.
Red: Do you have any?
Liz: No, but I can make some.

Liz: I know you think I’m standing in your way. I’m not trying to. I hope this helps you see that.
I, uh, finally got the courage to go through Tom’s things, and I found this in his jacket pocket. [ Liz hands Singleton a digital phone ] It’s locked, and I don’t have the passcode, but maybe one of your techs can pull the records, and it might give you a lead.

Liz: Anything yet?
Dembe: No.
Red: Remind me again what it is that we think we’re doing here.
Liz: The phone acts as a passive packet sniffer. It’s a trick Tom taught me.
Red: Packet sniffer? Ugh.
Liz: The FBI uses them. I’m sure your tech people know all about them. It can intercept and log traffic that passes over a digital network.
Red: It is an absolute mystery to me how these gadgets work – the Dick Tracey phones, these blueteeth connections. Quite frankly, I miss the rotary phone. Except for that zero. Watching that zero crawl back. Oh, my God. It was painful.
Dembe: We have the code.
Liz: Great. Now all we have to do is figure out how to get inside.

Episode 5:11 Highlight: A Forgotten Legend (3mins58secs)
[ Red and Dembe arrive at a large garage. Abraham Stern is there with several armed guards ]
Red: Okay. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.
Stern: Mr. Reddington. Once the Professor decodes the cipher, what guarantee do I have you won’t double-cross me?
Red: You seem quite capable of guaranteeing your own safety.
Stern: Nevertheless, I need some kind of assurance.
Red: Fine. Sentiment. This is your inheritance. I wouldn’t dream of taking more than 50%.
Stern: You have one penny. I have three. 75%/25%.
Red: Sentiment only goes so far.
Stern: So, how do you know about my father?
Red: Do we have a deal or not?
[ Seated, at a table and chairs in the garage ]
Red: Other than secreting away a fortune and hiding its whereabouts in the pennies he minted, I know curiously little about your father. Usually the person who creates a legend becomes legendary. Why not him?
Stern: My father was a little man with big dreams. He worked for the Treasury Department in Denver, started out as an apprentice. His goal was to become a master engraver. But then–
Red: Then the Federal Reserve Notes went missing.
Stern: He had access, so he was a suspect, but was never charged. They punished him anyway. Demoted him to the maintenance staff, gave him a little office in the boiler room. He worked weekends, holidays, sometimes he slept on a cot down there. Then, in ’43, the Mint made security upgrades.
Red: The same year he put the cipher on the coins.
Stern: Within the year, he was let go. My father spent the rest of his life living in the shadow of a crime nobody could prove he committed. He died a broken man. Penniless.
Red: A lowly maintenance worker, and yet, what he did is legendary.
Stern: What he allegedly did. Sometimes I wonder if that’s all there is – a legend.
Red: If the pennies hold the secret to your inheritance, why didn’t your father give them to you?
Stern: He did, in his will. But at the time, I was a snot-nosed 16-year-old, and to me, he was a failure who’d been accused of a crime he had nothing to show for. So I spent them on candy – four fireballs.
Red: – Whoops.
Stern: The next month, his executor gave me a letter my father had left for me. That’s when I learned that the pennies were the key to a great treasure.
Red: And you spent the past 40 years looking for it.
Stern: I’ve lied, I’ve cheated. I’ve killed in pursuit of it. I believe my father was a criminal, and I assume he left me the pennies so I wouldn’t become one.
Red: And yet, here you are.
Stern: The apple never falls very far. Does it?
[ Liz uses a plunger to force the remnants of Bobby Navarro down the bathtub drain. She encounters a solid object which she removes and examines – an artificial eye. She finds a way to open it. Inside are blinking electronics ]
[ Stern has brought an expert with him. He shows projected images of the four coins ]
Professor: Coins are a topographical map depicting a specific set of geoinformatics. Look at this. Lincoln’s face isn’t a face at all, but a topographical representation of a mountain range.
Red: Your father was a talented man.
Professor: The front range of the Rocky Mountains. Pike’s Peak through Squaw Mountain. And these cross-hatchings they’re not random imperfections, but intentionally placed etchings. One set is meaningless, but when you begin to layer the images, the map begins to depict a grid system.
Stern: [ Rises to his feet ] Denver.
Professor: Circa 1943. And look at this. The motto of the United States.
Red: “E pluribus unum” Out of many, one.
Professor: The letters on each coin have imperfections, but when you layer them–
Stern: The boiler room, where he used to work. He did steal the money. He just couldn’t get it out. So he hid it right under their noses.
Red: I’ve imagined robbing the Mint of the money they make, but never of a fortune they don’t even know they have. But this is a treasure hunt. And if that’s where “X” marks the spot– What do you know about the Denver Mint?
Stern: The Mint was built in 1897. The boiler room’s in the basement. It hasn’t been used since renovations were done in ’43, abandoning the old boiler room.
Professor: Construction documents show it was sealed off during the renovations – no doors, no windows. A new vault blocks the only entrance.
Red: What about the air-duct system?
Stern: The ducts could give us access if we were pencil thin and weighed under 50 pounds. We’re not getting in through the ducting. Production supplies, trash, and food deliveries pass through daily – but all require IDs.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]
Stern: We’d need a hell of a story to get through the gate.
Red: We’d still have to contend with the surveillance.
Stern: Which is extensive – cameras on the production floor, cameras in the halls.
Red: What about the vault?
Stern: The only way into the boiler room is through that vault.
Red: Which is made of steel and concrete.
⋘⋙
[ Stern on tour of the mint ]
Stern: So, this is the holding vault?
Tour guide: Yes, when banks hand over their mutilated bills, they’re brought here to have their authenticity validated before being shredded and sent to waste energy facilities for disposal.
⋘⋙

Stern: No water supply. We’d have to dry-cut with diamond blades.
Professor: The place is a fortress. Even if you could get past the walls and cameras and guards, which you can’t, you’d still have to get into the safe, and the only thing they let in there is cash.

Stern: I think you’re the reason I’m finally going to realize my lifelong dream. I would never betray you. On my father’s grave.
Red: See, on the grave of his father.
Hawkins: Don’t do this.
Red: Heddie, please, just get the cash.

[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]
Stern: Hey, you got us. We’re here to rob you. That’s why we’re bringing 8 million bucks into the Mint.
Red: Please, can we move it along? We got another run up to Golden. I’d love to beat the traffic.
[ Badge reader BEEPS ]
Guard: There it is. Yeah.
[ Red is unloading bags of cash. Stern comes up behind him, gun drawn ]
Stern: I’m afraid your associate was right.
Red: So much for your father’s grave.
Stern: Your gun belt, please. I’m sorry, Raymond. I’ve come to like you. I really have. But this is my birthright, not yours. So, if it’s not too much trouble, please, get in the truck.

Liz: Right. About that–
Red: You were the anonymous tip. You told the MPD that the penny was about to be stolen. You knew if they stopped the robbery in progress, they’d book the penny into evidence.

You called me to help me help you retrieve a rag covered in your blood evidence that might have convicted you of murdering Robert Navarro.
