🔴 Script 6:10 The Cryptobanker (№ 160)

Brief (Where we’re at): The jury is in. Liz’s father Raymond Reddington was not a traitor to the United States but rather was framed by Liz’s mother, Katarina Rostova, when he found out that, not only was she a KGB officer who had been sent to seduce him, but that her true handlers belonged to the Cabal. To discredit him, she planted a communiqué for US intelligence to discover blaming Reddington for the sinking of a US submarine which resulted in the deaths of over 100 men in 1990. Red’s acquittal was secured when the Task Force retrieved from the archives of Jordan Loving (Minister D, Blacklister #99), a tape recording between Katarina and Cabal leader Alan Fitch describing the plot.

Of course, the “Red” who was on trial is not the real “Raymond Reddington,” as Liz had recently told Ressler who was called as a witness at the trial. He perjured himself by identifying Red as Raymond Reddington while under oath. But he hesitated, raising suspicions in Red’s mind about just what Ressler knows.

Meanwhile, Dembe got hold of the recording of the 911 call that resulted in Red’s arrest. A homeless woman made the call for $100. When she could not identify Liz from a photo as the person who asked her to make the call, Dembe figured out it must have been Jennifer working with Liz. He confronted Liz and she begged him not to tell Red, which he did not do when meeting with Red later.

Though acquitted of treason, Red remains behind bars on other charges. His plan to earn his freedom began when he obtained the tracking list from the files of General Shiro (Blacklister #116) which provided an address in London. Dembe went to London and returned with photocopies of files.

[ Matt Pierson watches his daughter Jamie play soccer. At the same time he talks business on his cell phone ] [ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ] [ CROWD CHEERING ]
Matt Pierson: [ To Jamie ] Yes! – Way to go, Jamie!
Jamie: Thanks, Dad!
Pierson: No, yeah, I’m open to the idea of a different distributor, but not increasing the specs for the batteries themselves. [ BEEPING ] Oh, hold on. I’m getting another call. [ BEEPS ] Hey, this is Matt.
Oleg Gromov: [ Heavy Russian accent ] Hello, Matt. I need you to listen. What I am about to tell you is very important.
Pierson: [ SCOFFS ] Is this a– Who is this?
Gromov: First, I need you to understand the degree of control I have. Keep your eyes on your daughter. You and I both understand she is vulnerable. I have the ability to exploit that fact.
Pierson: Jamie.
Jamie: Aah! [ GROANING ]
[ Jamie collapses, clutching her heart ]
Pierson: Jamie!
[ Pierson runs to Jamie’s side ]
Coach: Girls, take a knee.
Pierson: What’s wrong? Honey, talk to me.
Gromov: It’s quite simple, Matt. I’ve taken control of your daughter’s pacemaker and instructed her SA node to trigger a 3rd degree AV block. Her heart’s electrical signals have turned off.
Pierson: Please, stop. Why are you doing this?
Gromov: Quiet, Matt. Now I’m going to give you some very specific instructions. I want you to do exactly as I say. Are you ready, Matt?
Pierson: Yes.
Gromov: You are going to liquidate a few assets for me. Start with your Union Bank pension and your shares in the company stock. Do you hear me?
Pierson: Yes, Union Bank, company stock. Just, please, I’m begging you, stop.
Gromov: Please don’t tell anyone we spoke, Matt. Talk to the authorities and Jamie pays the price. I will be in touch. Until then, your daughter can have her heart back.
Jamie: [ INHALES DEEPLY ]
Coach: Is she okay?
Woman: Do you want some water?
Woman #2: Way to go, honey.

[ Gromov sits in a darkened room with computer monitors on all sides ]
[ HEADSET CLATTERS ] [ DIALING ]
Gromov: I’m into a new deal. It’s huge. After this, I’m buying an island.
Cryptobanker: When should I anticipate the transfer?
Gromov: End of day tomorrow. We’re talking $3 million. Can you handle that?
Cryptobanker: It’s complicated, but it’s viable. Contact me when you’ve got the crypto.
[ CELLPHONE CLICKS ]
Gromov: Yes! Whoo!

 
[ Outside Colton Prison BIRD CAWS ]
[ In the dining room, Vontae and Vega sit down with their trays across from Red ]
Vontae: Is it true you’re dodging the warden? Please tell me it’s not true.
Red: If the warden needs to talk, he can come find me. He knows where I am.
Vega: Word is the laundry crew is planning to strike.
Red: I have much larger concerns than Warden Macatee and his laundry crew. The government is more intent than ever to stick a needle in my arm for any number of other crimes I’ve committed. An eventuality I have no intention of waiting around for.
Vontae: Man, are you in the wrong place. All we do here is wait.
Red: Yes. Which is why I’m leaving.
Vega: Leaving? Are you– You’re not seriously thinking about breaking out?
Red: Yes.
Vontae: Okay, that is a bad idea.
Red: It’s a seedling of an idea. It’s immature at this point, but we have two months to help it grow.
Vontae: We? [ SCOFFS ] Yeah, that is not happening.
Red: Not yet. But it will.

 
[ Colton Prison Visitors Area ]
Liz: You want me to make a dinner reservation for you? – In Chicago?
Red: Yes. At Gene & Georgetti’s. I have an insatiable craving for their Beef en Brochette, or the Chicken alla Joe. Maybe both.
Liz: Have you read the indictment? There are 16 counts, ranging from money laundering to murder.
Red: The judge calendared eight weeks for the trial. So, to be safe, make the reservation for the following week.
Liz: How can you be so confident?
Red: I’ll take care of the trial. You take care of what comes after.
Liz: Your beef brochette.
Red: My immunity agreement.
Liz: [ SCOFFS, sing-songy ] You are full of fantasies today.
Red: I’ve uncovered a conspiracy. One that I know is deadly and is aimed at the halls of power. But I don’t know why or when it’ll strike. And I won’t until you catch the man known as the Cryptobanker.
Liz: And when you know, you won’t say until they reinstate your immunity agreement.
Red: As Hippocrates believed, “desperate times call for desperate measures.”
Liz: I’m pretty sure he also said “first do no harm.”
Red: Yes, well, one aphorism at a time.
Liz: Tell me about the Cryptobanker.

 
[ At the Post Office, Liz briefs the Task Force ]
Liz: A drug cartel spends $70 million on airplanes. A Serbian sex trafficker drops $40 million on ships to smuggle victims across the Mediterranean. How did the people brokering these deals keep them hidden? They took payment in Bitcoin.
Aram: Illegal activity accounts for half of all Bitcoin transactions. 36 million annual transactions with a value of approximately $72 billion.
Liz: And where do they go to launder their ill-gotten Bitcoin gains? To a man known as the Cryptobanker.
⋘⋙
[ The Cryptobanker walks up behind Nervous Banker in at a crosswalk ]
Cryptobanker: I need you to clean three.
Nervous Banker: What?! We agreed installments wouldn’t exceed two.
Cryptobanker: We agreed you’d be compensated on a sliding scale. I can’t imagine Beth and the girls want to move off Park Avenue. The number is three. Make it work.
⋘⋙
Liz: All Reddington knows is that the Cryptobanker is in town. So we reached out to the Bureau’s Virtual Currency Initiative, looking for someone local trafficking in Bitcoin, and one name stood out a hacker known as the RAT.
Aram: It’s an abbreviation for “Remote Access Trojans” malware that allows the user to lock companies out of their own servers. The hacker then demands a ransom and unlocks the server once it’s paid.
Ressler: In Bitcoin that the Cryptobanker helps to launder.
Samar: We find the RAT, we find the Cryptobanker?
Cooper: And the RAT’s latest target?
Liz: The leading manufacturer of pacemakers, called Pierson Diagnostics.

 
[ Samar and Ressler visit Matt Pierson at his pacemaker company Pierson Diagnostics ]
Pierson: You shouldn’t be here. I can’t talk to you.
Samar: Mr. Pierson, many victims of extortion keep quiet for fear of retribution. We understand that it’s a risk for you to trust us.
Ressler: We also know that you’ve liquidated millions in assets. Now, we contacted the SEC’s Cyber Unit and traced those assets using the blockchain. You’ve purchased a large amount of Bitcoin.
Samar: That can’t be a coincidence. You’re being leveraged.
Pierson: Jamie was born premature, with a heart arrhythmia. She was so tiny at the time, there were no devices on the market that could help her, so I made one. I made this company so that she could lead a normal life.
Ressler: Your daughter is in danger.
Pierson: He has control of her pacemaker. He’d hacked the software somehow. He says that he’ll that he’ll kill her if I don’t pay.
Samar: The device. Are you able to disable the malware?
Pierson: He says he’s watching me, that if I attempt to manipulate the software in any way or go to the police, he’ll trigger it.
Samar: We have people who can figure out how he gained access to the pacemaker. Perhaps we can defuse the threat and keep your daughter out of harm’s way. Will you at least listen to what we have in mind?

 
[ The courtroom. A new jury has been seated ]
Judge Roberta Wilkins: Serving as a juror in a high-profile case is never easy, and this case will be no exception. Before opening arguments, I want to thank you for your service. Mr. Sima, the floor is yours.
Asst US Atty Michael Sima: Ladies and gentlemen, Raymond Reddington has been a fugitive from justice for more than 25 years. Or so we thought. In fact, for the past five years–
Red: Objection!
Sima: –the most wanted man in America has had a secret immunity agreement–
Red: Your Honor–
Sima: –with the very people sworn to bring him in.
Red: –is this even remotely acceptable to you?
Judge Wilkins: I’ll give you my answer after I clear the courtroom. Bailiff?
⋘⋙
Judge Wilkins: Correct me if I’m wrong, Mr. Sima, but I distinctly recall the government wanting to keep the immunity agreement secret. What changed your mind? Is this your way to force a plea agreement? Trade execution for life in prison?
Sima: Absolutely not. There’s no deal on the table.
Red: [ CHUCKLING ] Come on. They’re fitting me for a Snitch Jacket 🔘 [See Note], so even their incompetence won’t save me. On the off chance they win, I die in prison. In the likely event they lose,
I die on the street.
Sima: We have the legal right to disclose the agreement.
Red: You also have a moral obligation not to.
Sima: I couldn’t be less interested in your views on morality.
Judge Wilkins: Then maybe I could interest you in mine. Disclosing Mr. Reddington’s cooperation is like imposing the death penalty by fiat. Plus which, it sends a chilling message to any future confidential informant. This case is national news. If the government’s decision to sell out an informant goes viral, no one will want to cooperate. Mr. Reddington is on trial here, not the Task Force he works with.
Sima: As far as I’m concerned, they’re co-conspirators–
Red: [ SCOFFS ]
Sima: –who aided and abetted his criminal activity.
Red: Co-conspirators? These people are brave, honorable public servants. Mr. Sima may be content with a scorched-earth policy that would burn them in order to burn me. I can only hope that you’re not.
Judge Wilkins: I’m not okay with it. But you’ve got no constitutional right to keep your immunity agreement secret, so I can’t keep the government from introducing it. It may be contemptible, but there’s nothing I can do to stop it.

 
[ Matt Pierson’s Mercedes wagon pulls up to a gated community ] [ MACHINERY WHIRRING, GATE CREAKS ] [ BIRDS CHIRPING ]
[ The vehicle pulls into the garage of a large home. He gets out and opens the back door of the vehicle. Aram is crouched inside with a roll of wire fencing material ]
Aram: Did you check the street?
Pierson: I didn’t see anything. But that doesn’t mean that this is a good idea.
Aram: It’s gonna be awesome.

 
[ Inside Jamie Pierson’s bedroom, Pierson and Aram have begun constructing a wire cage around Jamie’s bed ]
Jamie: Dad, what are you doing?
Aram: Oh, you, uh you must be Jamie.
Pierson: Honey, we’re building, uh, something called a–
Aram: Called a a Faraday cage. I’m so sorry we haven’t met. I’m Agent Mojtabai. You can, uh- you can call me Aram. This is a super cool room.
Jamie: Not anymore.
Aram: Right, yeah. Sorry about that. I promise I’ll help fix everything up when we’re done. Maybe you could, uh– you could get some fun wallpaper?
Jamie: I don’t want wallpaper.
Pierson: Honey, this is important. We need to do this.
Jamie: What’s a Faraday cage?
Aram: Well, it’s sort of like a force field, uh, created by a man named Michael Faraday.
Jamie: Was he a superhero? Because only superheroes have force fields.
Aram: He was, uh, kind of. A, uh– a scientific superhero.
Jamie: I can name six superheroes who have force fields. Iron Man, Susan Storm, Apocalypse, Banshee, Green Lantern, and Violet Parr.
Aram: Actually, uh, Banshee doesn’t really have a force field–
Jamie: When he screams, people back off.
Aram: Touché.
Jamie: Will this force field keep him from messing with this? [ Pats her heart ]
Aram: In here, it will. That’s why we’re building it. So you’ll be safe.
Jamie: Cool. Can I help?
Aram: Sure. If, uh, your dad’s all right with it.
Pierson: Hey.
Aram: Okay. Well, here grab yourself a handful of zip ties and, uh, let’s get to work.

 
[ Red is writing something in his cell at Colton Prison ]
Red: There’s been a change of plans. I’m moving up the timeline of my impending escape.
Vontae: Moving up to when?
Red: Thursday at 4:00.
Vega: Thursday? Like tomorrow Thursday?
Red: –At 4:00.
Vontae: Hold up. You said you had eight weeks.
Red: I said we had eight weeks. Now we don’t. The government has changed its strategy, so I’m changing mine.
Vontae: No, no. You said all you had was a “seedling” and that it was “immature.”
Red: Vontae, I have until tomorrow. At 4:00. Here’s a “honeydo” list to do while I’m in court.
Vontae: [ Reads ] A quarter pound of ground chuck, 3 ounces of bleach, same amount of paint or nail polish remover–
Vega: [ Reads the rest ] Rubber cement, hair clippings from the prison barber? What the hell?
What about the warden?
Red: What about the warden?
Vontae: Look, the laundry boys are ready to walk, okay? He’s got a problem on his hands. Maybe if you help him, he’ll pull a few strings, help you.
Red: Oh, he’s gonna do much more than that.
Vontae: You and the warden. What?
Red: Let’s start with the items on the list.
Vontae: [ Sighs ] Okay.
[ Vontae and Vega leave ] [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN DISTANCE ]

 
Judge Wilkins: I’m told you wanted a word before I bring out the jury.
Red: To petition the court not to let Mr. Sima put the Task Force on trial.
Judge Wilkins: If that’s how he intends on trying his case, – I can’t stop him.
Red: Very well. Then I must. I’ll plead guilty. On all counts. But only if Mr. Sima agrees to instruct the jury that he was mistaken about the existence of an immunity agreement.
Sima: You want me to lie in court?
Red: Yes. It plays to your strengths.
Judge Wilkins: Take the win, Mr. Sima. Mr. Reddington, is your guilty plea based, at least in part, on the fact that you are guilty of the crimes you intend to admit?
Red: It is.
Judge Wilkins: If I accept your guilty plea, you give up the right to appeal your conviction and the right to appeal your sentence. Do you understand?
Red: I do.
Judge Wilkins: The maximum penalty for a person guilty of the crimes you’re charged with is death by lethal injection. Are you aware of that?
Red: I am.
Judge Wilkins: Has anyone done anything you think is illegal or unethical to force you to plead guilty?
Red: Other than Mr. Sima? No.
Judge Wilkins: I find your proposed guilty plea is supported by facts and that you are acting competently and voluntarily in giving up your rights. I’m prepared to accept it. Are you sure that you want me to?
Red: Yes, Your Honor, I’m sure.
Judge Wilkins: Very well. I accept the defendant’s plea to the indictment and find him guilty as charged.
[ GAVEL BANGS ⚡️ ]

 
[ Jamie’s bedroom. She is in bed as Pierson and Aram complete the Faraday cage ]
Aram: Okay, cross your fingers and toes.
[ ZIP TIE TIGHTENS ]
Aram: Okay.
[ BEEPING ~ Computer come up ]
Aram: We’re up.
Pierson: So it’s working?
Aram: How often do you push software updates to your monitoring devices?
Pierson: Uh, maybe three or four times a year.
Aram: That’s how he got in. I mean, think about it. The devices have built-in access authority. Why not use the home monitor as a proxy for the malware program? – It’s perfect.
[ Aram hasn’t noticed that Pierson has taken out a scalpel ]
Pierson: Okay, honey, just a little pinch.
[ Pierson cuts into Jamie’s skin above the pacemaker ]
Jamie: Ow!
Aram: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?
Pierson: Disconnecting her pacemaker.
Aram: No, no. You- You can’t do that.
Pierson: We’re offline. He has no idea.
Jamie: Ow! Dad, it hurts.
Pierson: Okay, just hold on, sweetie. I’ll be done in a second, okay?
Aram: Okay, this is a, uh, this is a really bad idea.
Pierson: It’s not. She has a simple arrhythmia. Clipping the pacing leads on the device disconnects her from her abductors.
[ He snips through two wires ]
Jamie: [ BREATHES DEEPLY ]

 
[ At Pierson Diagnostics ] [ Samar and Ressler walk through the room of people working at computer screens ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ] [ ELECTRICITY POWERING DOWN ]
Ressler: Excuse me. What’s going on?
Worker: [ SCOFFS ] No clue. We’ve got redundant systems. This shouldn’t happen.
[ KEYS CLACKING ]

 
[ Pierson leads Jamie through the garage with Aram behind ]
Aram: Where are you going? This was not part of our plan. We agreed to–
Pierson: Taking her to a hospital. She’ll be fine until I can get her some real help.
[ Jamie gets into the back of the Mercedes ]
Pierson: Okay, look, as far as I’m concerned, this is over.
Aram: This guy he won’t just let you walk away.
Pierson: But he has no leverage now. I don’t really give a damn what he thinks. [ CELLPHONE RINGING ] – Just – [ BEEPS ] – Hello?
[ Pierson puts his phone on speaker ]
Gromov: Hello, Matt. What happened to your daughter’s pacemaker, Matt?
Pierson: I took it offline. I disconnected it. You’re gonna have to find someone else to blackmail. Gromov: Wrong choice, Matt. All you had to do was pay the ransom. It was very simple. Unfortunately, now things get considerably more difficult.
Pierson: Wait. What do you mean “more difficult”?
Gromov: By disobeying my instructions, you have triggered a contingency plan and given me control of your company’s system-wide files. All 200,000 patients.
⋘⋙
[ At Pierson Diagnostics, all the computer screens suddenly show Ransomware ]
⋘⋙
Pierson: No, no, no, please, listen.
Gromov: No, I think you need to listen, Matt. I’ve selected 1,000 patients at random and programmed their pacemakers to deliver a lethal shock in 24 hours. I am also increasing my price $6 million in Bitcoin. I will send you the wallet number shortly. If you choose to pay, I will send you an authentication code to unlock your system. If you don’t, a symphony of hearts falls silent at once. Your choice. I will be in touch. Good day, Matt.
[ HEADSET CLATTERS ]

 
[ Outside Pierson’s house, Jamie waves goodbye from a gurney ]
Aram: [ On phone to Post Office ] They’re taking Pierson’s daughter to the hospital. She’s gonna be okay.
Samar: That’s great, but what about the 200,000 patients who aren’t having their pacemakers taken offline?
Aram: Pierson has 24 hours to pay the ransom or the RAT says he’ll kill 1,000 of them.
Cooper: Can they do that?
Aram: A pacemaker is a mini defibrillator. If the heart stops, it can deliver a jolt of electricity to restart it.
Samar: A safe jolt.
Aram: It was, until the RAT took control over the system. Now he can recalibrate the amount of electricity that gets delivered, turning a safe jolt into a lethal one.
Cooper: Get Pierson to get us a list of everyone with a Pierson Diagnostics pacemaker. Aram, I want that list on my desk within the hour.
[ BEEPS ]
Ressler: We can’t notify 200,000 people on the down low. I mean, once word of this gets out, Pierson Diagnostics is finished.
Cooper: A small price to pay to save all those at risk.
[ Liz enters and stands silently ] [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ] [ TELEPHONE RINGING IN DISTANCE ]
Samar: What is it?
Liz: Reddington pleaded guilty.

 
Judge Wilkins: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the defendant has pleaded guilty, so this trial will not take place. Instead, we’re moving directly to the sentencing phase. To aid in your decision, each side will be given the opportunity to present witness impact statements.
Sima: Mr. Charleston, for the record, please state your profession.
Charleston: For the past six years, I’ve served as Deputy Administrator of the ATF.
Sima: In that time, have you investigated the defendant?
Charleston: We have 24 cases that target Mr. Reddington.
Sima: Cases in which people were killed?
Charleston: 13 that we know of. But those are only the ATF cases.
⋘⋙
Sima: Meaning?
Treasury Official: Meaning Treasury ran several joint cases with the ATF in which lives were lost.
⋘⋙
Interpol Agent: Interpol has coordinated with law enforcement around the globe in an attempt to apprehend Mr. Reddington. MI6. Mossad. Russian SVR. To my knowledge, this man is wanted in every country he’s set foot in.
⋘⋙
Charleston: We couldn’t catch him because he has resources everywhere – in law enforcement, governments around the world, the private sector, the penal system. He wields a great power and influence over these men and women, loyal associates who will do whatever he asks.
⋘⋙
[ As the witnesses testify, Vontae and Vega collect the various items on Red’s “honeydo” list from places around the prison ]
⋘⋙
Charleston: I can assure you, right now, Reddington has people doing his bidding whatever that may be. Now, I don’t know who they are, but they’re everywhere. And the only way to stop them is to stop him.
⋘⋙
Treasury Chief: Capital punishment. Like cutting out a cancer.
⋘⋙
Interpol Agent: It’s the only option.

[ Vontae removes some items from inside his sock, slips them under Red’s pillow and leaves Red’s cell ] [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

 
[ Cooper’s office ]
Liz: The minute the Feds threatened to take us down with him, he gave up. He pleaded guilty to protect us, and they’re gonna kill him for it.
Cooper: Unless he has a plan. It doesn’t appear that he does, but with Reddington, appearances can be deceiving.
[ Samar and Ressler enter ]
Samar: We have a lead on the RAT.
Ressler: Aram got the company to put together a list of patients with Pierson Diagnostics pacemakers.
Samar: It turns out there’s one person on the patient list who wasn’t a patient.
Ressler: Oleg Gromov, a Russian national who’s in the country on a student visa.
Samar: We ran a trace on his cell. He’s at a café in Georgetown.
Cooper: A patient that’s not a patient?
Ressler: Gromov bought a pacemaker but never had it installed. He also pays a monthly fee to Pierson Diagnostics to get updates for his home monitor.
Cooper: Go. See if this kid can explain why he’s paying for a pacemaker service he doesn’t need.
[ Ressler leaves ]
Samar: Liz, tell Reddington, if there’s anything that we can do–
Liz: He knows. That’s why he’s done this.

Red: You don’t have to worry about me.
Liz: Why? Because you have a plan? Or because you’re gonna be dead soon?
Red: [ BREATHES SHARPLY, smiles sphinxlike ]
Liz: I understand witnesses you’ve never even met are testifying under oath that you’re evil incarnate.
Red: Apparently I’m a moral scourge and a malignant tumor.
Liz: I’d like to present the other side.
Red: No.
Liz: They’re taking witness impact statements. No witness has been impacted by you more than me.
Red: It won’t change the outcome.
Liz: I want to testify.
Red: Uh-ah– Fine. Short and to the point.
Liz: Why? Do you have somewhere you have to be?
Red: Gene & Georgetti’s would be nice. I’ve decided to go with the double lamb chops instead of the Beef en Brochette, and definitely the Chicken alla Joe.
Liz: What I say might not make a difference, but it could. Why would you want me to rush through it? Unless you don’t care what’s on their minds because Cooper’s right – you have a plan.

 
[ The courtroom ]
Red: Agent Keen, you’re a criminal profiler, are you not?
Liz: Yes.
Red: Top of your class at Quantico?
Liz: I was 15th in a class of 200.
Red: You’ve been trained to think like a criminal.
Liz: By the very best.
Red: Profile me.
Liz: [ Long pause ] You’re a fugitive. [ Pause ] You live a fugitive’s existence. Fleeting. Transient. Impermanent.
[ SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE ]
Liz: Almost exclusively, this is how you interact with the world in [ Pause ] short, brief, passing encounters. [ Pause ] I say “almost” because this is not how you interact with me. With me you are enduring, permanent. The world thinks you’re bad because you’ve done some terrible things. But I believe you’re good in spite of the terrible things you’ve done. And I know that you’re not here today because of those terrible things. You’re here today because of love.
  Love brought you out of the shadows. Love put you on the street corner where you were caught. And not just the love of a father for his daughter, but the love of doing what you believe is right. And not necessarily for yourself, but [ Pause ] what’s right for the greater world around us. A world you love so much.
  [ To the Jury ] But I can’t tell you about any of that. He pleaded guilty to prevent me from telling you about his many acts of conscience because if I did, it would be bad for me, for my career, for my reputation. To honor me, he’s put himself at your mercy. And so to honor him, I have to ask you to be merciful in return.

 
[ Cooper’s office ]
Pierson: Because of you, 1,000 people are still at risk.
Cooper:We identified the man who threatened your daughter.
Pierson: I paid the ransom but didn’t get the authentication code to unlock the servers. Why? Because you went after him.
Cooper: We’re in Gromov’s apartment, have an APB on the plates on his car. We will find him, the computer, and the authentication code that’s on it.
Pierson: His deadline’s in three hours.
Cooper: We can debate how we got into this mess later. Right now, I need your help in getting us out of it.

Aram: There’s no sign of him or his computer.
Cooper: Or a key or an authentication code – that’ll take the malware offline?
Aram: Nothing. Only the docking station, which I assume he uses for his laptop.
Pierson: The docking station. Is there a serial number on it?
Aram: Of course. That is genius. The serial number IDs the computer and the company that made it.
Pierson: Okay. If we get it, we can access the computer through the company’s remote diagnostic software.
Aram: Which gives us an IP address as soon as the computer’s turned on. I found you. The, uh the serial number, not the RAT.
Cooper: Tell SWAT to stay on-site, then get back here and set up that backdoor. The second that computer’s turned on, – I want to be able to find it.

Sima: You’ve heard testimony about the extent of the defendant’s criminal empire, as well as the pain and suffering his crimes have caused.
Red: So off with his head! – Mine, not his.
Sima: Your Honor–
Judge Wilkins: Mr. Reddington, you’ll have your turn in a moment.
Red: Yes, but as I plan to echo what Mr. Sima says, I thought we might skip over him saying it.
Judge Wilkins: He’s asking for the death penalty. You plan on echoing that?
Red: I do. One trait of mine that Agent Keen’s otherwise exquisite profile left out was optimism. Hope for a better tomorrow. A desert safari on the Wahiba Sands. Riding with the bagualeros in Patagonia. None of that would be possible if I were sentenced to life in prison. There’d be nothing to hope for, and without hope, nothing to live for. Not even the joy of interrupting Mr. Sima to make his point, only pithier. As we’re all agreed I should be executed, I feel like we should wrap this up, don’t you?

For S6 Episode 6:10 The Cryptobanker 🎯 EW recap ¤ 🌅 Photo Gallery ¤ 🎶 Music Videos ¤ 📒 Script link: https://wp.me/pDKwi-9d5 [ “you are here” ]

“The phrase has part of its origins in the police interrogation tactic of threatening criminals who will not cooperate. Often the only reason a perpetrator doesn’t snitch is because he fears it will get to the street and put him in danger. Ironically police officers threaten to publicize or have correctional officers publicize that a perpetrator’s ‘jacket’ says they are an informant to get them to inform. Someone with a ‘snitch jacket’ is often just a willing informant obviously.” http://bit.ly/2CbOuvf

It’s cool how timely the Blacklist cases are. It will be lost after few years that this episode aired while we are in the midst of a national discourse on witnesses in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe choosing whether to “flip” and risk being branded a “rat” or a “snitch” in prison (e.g. Paul Manafort who didn’t vs Michael Cohen who did). It’s also noteworthy how Whitey Bulger, the man who inspired Jack Nicholson’s character in Martin Scorese’s “The Departed” and also the character of Red, met his fate on October 30, 2018: beaten to death and left “unrecognizable” in prison, most likely for being the most notorious “snitch” of all.

⋙ Don’t miss this video interview with James Spader on PBS’s Amanpour&Company from 3/1/2019 about this confluence of art and the world:

Spader: The same thing would happen on another show that I worked on, “Boston Legal” where we really weren’t ripping from the headlines. And yet, again and again, I’d get a script and we’d be working on something and … by the time it aired, it was timely.
