🔴 Script 8:4 Elizabeth Keen (№ 1)
Brief (Where we’re at):
Red has put Liz “at the top of the Blacklist,” out of “fear she may – do something that – she can never recover from.” That’s because she tried – twice – to blow him up using 16 ounces of Semtex, a military-grade plastic explosive she procured from the FBI supply by forging Aram’s signature on a requisition form.
Liz is on a rampage after witnessing Red shoot her mother, Katarina Rostova. Katarina recorded her final discussion with Red on a phone message to Liz, which also identified Red (albeit crypticallly) as N-13, the elusive operative sought by numerous international intelligence agencies. Red had let the world think that Katarina was N-13, which resulted in a price being put on her head by the Townsend Organization. This means Red is likely in possession of a blackmail file, the Sikorsky Achive. As long as Townsend thought Katarina had it, it meant they would be looking for Katarina and not for Red. Once Katarina knew that N-13 was Red, he killed her to keep the secret. Liz played parts of the recording first for Cooper and then for Red; it’s unclear if she played for them the part about N-13. However, Red must know that the recording includes that tidbit of information which may provide a clue to his true identity.
Liz’s mission now is revenge. First she rigged the bomb to explode when Red opened the door of her car, but he was saved when he broke down in a fit of bloody coughing and had to be rushed to a public emergency room to save his life from the mysterious disease ailing him. When her first attempt to kill Red didn’t work, Liz enlisted Esi Jackson, who had once helped Liz search for Red’s friend Ilya Koslov but had been intercepted by Red and compelled to work for him. Liz convinced Esi that Red would end up killing her when Esi was no longer of use to him. So, cashing in on the confidence Dembe had in her, Esi (and Liz) created a distraction that gave Esi the opportunity to attach the bomb to Red’s bed. Only luck and quick thinking by Ressler saved Red’s life. Ressler smashed a window and threw the bomb outside. It exploded, overturning Red’s hospital bed and injuring both Red and Ressler, but not seriously. But Esi didn’t know that and reported back to Liz that both might be dead. Liz became emotional at the thought she might have killed Ressler.
After gleaning from Aram that Red had survived, she called Red to tell him “You don’t have it in you to kill me, and you never will, and that’s why I’m gonna win.” Later, she showed up at Ressler’s apartment and was relieved to find him battered but alive:
Liz: I’m sorry.
Ressler: Well, you should be. You nearly killed me.
Liz: I know. And when I thought I had – [ Sniffles ] – nothing else mattered. I’m a fugitive again– and you have to come for me, but before you do, before I start running – I need a rest. Even if it’s just for one night. Will you let me do that?
[ Ressler lets her in ]

[ Flashback: ]
[ Liz appears at Ressler’s apartment to check on how he came through the blast that she arranged in her attempt to kill Red. She also has a request: ]
Liz: Before I start running, I need a rest. Even if it’s just for one night.
[ Liz rides in the back of a car, remembering the night before ]
[ Flashback: ]
[ Liz and Ressler kiss passionately and then make love, taking care on account of Ressler’s injured back ]
[ In the car, Liz smiles dreamily. Her reflections continue ]
[ Flashback: ]
[ It’s morning. Ressler, still bandaged, wakes up to find Liz is dressed, but is looking around for something ]
Ressler: You know how this ends.
Liz: I can’t find my sock.
Ressler: We’re gonna try and stop you.
Liz: It’s purple with little unicorns on it. Agnes thinks unicorns are good luck.
Ressler: Unicorn socks to protect against Reddington.
Liz: You got any better ideas?
Ressler: Yeah. Don’t go after him.
[ Ressler finds the sock by the pillow and hands it to her ]
Liz: Thanks for letting me stay.
[ Liz calls Esi Jackson ] [ Cellphone dialing ] [ Line rings ]
Liz: I’m texting you an address. Meet me there as soon as you can.
[ Cellphone beeps🔅]
[ At the address Liz texted to Esi ]
Liz: A few years ago, I found out my husband was living a double life.
[ Doors open, revealing a large screen surveillance system monitoring the streets around the flat ]
Esi: Whoa.
Liz: Yeah. He had secrets. Lots of them. Including this apartment.
[ Liz pulls down a heavy duffle bag ] [ Groans ] [ She removes two large packets of bills and offers them to Esi ]
Liz: I thought maybe we could find something here that could help you out a little bit.
Esi: Me?
Liz: Yeah. It’s not much, but it’ll get you out of the city.
[ Liz offers Esi the entire duffle ]
Liz: Go on, take it. I’ve already gotten you into enough trouble.
Esi: You do know we are gonna need more than that.
[ Liz plops the duffel down on the table. She acknowledges Esi’s offer to continue working together ]
Liz: We’re gonna need more of everything. Money. Weapons. People.
Esi: Do you have anybody in mind?
Liz: I have a list. First, I – we – Call everyone on it, and then we get my daughter.
[ Esi sees armed men streaming toward the apartment on the surveillance system ]
Esi: We’ve been made.
[ Liz suddenly sees, hanging on a chain, the washer Tom had used in lieu of an engagement ring to propose to her ]
[ Flashback: ]
[ Tom kneels down in front of then-blonde Liz. Chuckling, he slips the washer onto her finger ]
Tom: Elizabeth Keen, will you marry me?
[ She beams at him ]
Esi: Liz. We got to go. Now.
[ Liz grabs the keepsake and they leave in a rush ]
[ The unidentified armed men break into the apartment and search ]
— Clear.

[ Outside, Liz smashes the window of a vehicle ] [✨Glass shatters✨]
[ Engine starts ] [⚡️Tires screech⚡️]
⋘⋙
[ Dembe enters the flat, followed by Red ]
Dembe: We’re too late.
[ Red looks at the live feed of the garage and sees the pile of shattered glass from the broken car window. He shakes his head ]
[ Cooper’s office ]
Cooper: I just spoke with Reddington. He says Keen just left a Kalorama address in a Ford Bronco. I want a BOLO on the car, not on Keen.
Aram: And when the cops find her in it?
Ressler: We’ll do what we can to protect her.
Agent Alina Park: Did she protect you when Reddington was in the hospital? She planted a bomb that nearly killed you.
Ressler: So it’s okay to protect an actual killer like Reddington, but not one of our own? Look, what Keen almost did once is nothing compared to what Reddington does on a daily basis.
Aram: And yet, he put her name on the Blacklist.
Cooper: Reddington wants her found, not hurt. But given her overwhelming desire to hurt him, I don’t know that she’ll leave him any choice. Which is why we have to find her first.
Park: I’ll put out the BOLO.
Cooper: Before you do, I want to say one more thing. As fond as we are of Agent Keen, I believe she’s equally fond of us. Given that, it wouldn’t surprise me if she were to reach out, solicit our help to find Reddington. If and when she does that, I know how tempting it’ll be to give her the help that she needs, but that would be a mistake. It would make matters worse for her, not better. So if she does call or show up on your doorstep, I need to know. Now Park, get on the BOLO. Aram, Ressler – Put eyes on Agnes. We may not know where Agent Keen is, but we do know she’s in the city, and she’s not gonna leave it without her daughter.
[ Liz find Red’s computer whiz kid, Tadashi Ito, working at a laptop at a table in a busy food court ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Tadashi: Liz, hi! What are you doing here?
Liz: I don’t have much time, Tadashi, so I’m gonna get to the point. I want you to come and work for me.
Tadashi: Thanks, but I already have a job. It’s got a great health plan. As long as I do it well, Mr. Reddington won’t kill me.
Liz: Reddington is dying. He’ll deny it, but it’s true. And when he’s gone, I’ll be in a position to give you all the work you’ll ever need because I’m getting everything. Call Marvin Gerard, he’ll confirm it. One more thing.
[ Liz shows Tadashi a list ]
Liz: These are all of Reddington’s associates that I’m aware of. I need their phone numbers.
Tadashi: I’m sorry, but I don’t have them.
Liz: I know. But you can hack them.
[ Tadashi sits next to Red in the back of his car ]
Tadashi: She said you were sick. Like pushing daisies sick.
Red: Aspirants are all the same. A little bit desperate, irrational, always impatient– They never wait for the body to cool.
Tadashi: I told her I was with you hot or cold, but since you mention it, are you, you know, cooling?
Red: Like a lion in winter I am both diminished and dangerous – As anyone who offers to help Elizabeth will quickly find out.
Tadashi: [ Breathes sharply ] Exactly how would you define help? Because she had this list–
[ Liz makes some phone calls … ]
Liz: I know it’s a shock, but it’s true.
Max Ruddiger, Red’s explosives expert: Raymond is a traitor?
Liz: A Russian spy codenamed N-13. He’s been playing us for years.
[ Max’s phone beeps🔅]
Max: One sec. Sorry. [ Line beeps🔅] Hello?
Red: Ruddiger, have you spoken with Elizabeth Keen?
Max: Yeah. I’m on with her right now. She says you’re a traitor. Not sure to which country.
Red: Ruddiger, please. I’m loyal to principle, not country. And the first principle I’m loyal to is loyalty. Do I have yours?
⋘⋙
Heddie: Now hold on, you gotta back up. Say that again for me.
Liz: He cut a deal.
Heddie: Yeah, a deal. What are you talking about? A deal with who?
Liz: With the FBI.
⋘⋙
[ The next call is to Mr Brimley, Red’s creative torture impresario, who is brushing a horned goat🐏 ]
Brimley: Are you telling me that son of a bitch is a snitch?
Liz: Yep. Which is why I want you to come and work for me.
Brimley: I’ll tell you who I won’t work for, and it’s that turncoat, that quisling, that– [ Phone beeps🔅] Hold that thought. Cellphone beeps🔅] [ Goat🐏bleats ] Someone’s ears were burning?
Red: You’ve spoken with Elizabeth.
Brimley: Pardon my French, but what a Yenta!
Liz: I can hear you both.
Red: Spreading rumors, are we?
Liz: Telling truths.
Brimley: Oy oy oy. I think I hit conference instead of call waiting.
Red: Who’s next on your list?
Liz: Wouldn’t you like to know?
⋘⋙
Liz: He’s the past, Morgan. I’m the future– [ *Click* ]
[ One by one, Liz is crossing names off her list ]
⋘⋙
Liz: That’s right, Tony, he works for Moscow.
⋘⋙
Liz: Sure, Glen, I’ll hold. …
⋘⋙
Liz: No, no, no, Chuck, before you take the other call, just hear me out. I mean– Chuck?
[ Liz sighs ] [ The last name has been crossed off ]
[ Red and Dembe are in the industrial kitchen of one of Red’s properties ]
Dembe: I got a message from our friend in the East. He wants to meet.
Red: He won’t be easily appeased. Put him off for the moment. I’m fighting a war on one front. I’m not sure I have the strength to fight it on two.
[ Cellphone buttons clicking ]
[ Aram and Ressler walk together in the hall of the apartment building where Liz’s friend, Merritt Marks, has been taking care of Agnes ]
Aram: So you’re saying you wouldn’t tell Mr. Cooper.
Ressler: I’m saying it depends.
Aram: Depends on what?
Ressler: I’m just saying, if she did reach out to you, if you actually saw her, you might think differently.
Aram: Did she reach out to you?
Ressler: No, she didn’t. But if she did– I’m just saying it might make a difference.
⋘⋙
[ Knock on door ] [ Door creaks lightly and opens ]
Merritt Marks: Can I help you?
Ressler: Mrs. Marks? [ Holds up badge ] We’re with the FBI. We work with Elizabeth Keen.
Merritt: Is everything alright?
Aram: We understand you’re looking after her daughter. Has she arranged a time to pick her up?
[ Red’s kitchen. As a treatment for his mysterious disease, Red is preparing a mix of pills from the 10 or so bottles of prescription medications arrayed in front of him ]
[ Door opens; Dembe enters ]
Red: In the old days, drug cocktails were decidedly more appealing.
Dembe: I spoke to our friend in the East.
Red: Ah. Thank you. That’s a relief.
Dembe: He expects you in Moscow the day after tomorrow. And it gets worse.
Red: Worse than Moscow at this time of year– at any time of year?
[ Pills rattle ] [ Red takes the meds with a glass of water ]
Red: Mmm. Oh! [ Glass taps lightly ]
[ Dembe hand Red a large manila folder. Red pulls out a thick folder with a large seal printed on the front: “Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence: House of Representatives”
Red: Ah, well. Looks like the second front has officially engaged.
[ Liz and Esi sit in Liz’s parked car ]
Esi: No one said yes?
Liz: Not even an “I’ll think about it.”
Esi: Is there anyone else?
Liz: There is one other person, and he’s worth more than everyone on this list combined. If I could get him, we’d have a fighting chance.
Esi: Who’s that?
Liz: Marvin Gerard. Reddington’s lawyer. He may not know where all the bodies are buried, but I think he knows where a lot of the money is kept.
Esi: You got to assume Reddington’s already contacted him.
Liz: Which is why I need to talk to him in person. I need you to follow him and tell me when he’s somewhere safe to talk. Meanwhile, I’m gonna make arrangements to pick up Agnes. I can’t believe they pledged their lives, fortunes, and not-so-sacred honor to a traitorous sociopath. Are they all really that scared?
Esi: It’s fear.
Liz: Take this burner. It’s clean. Call me when you find a safe location.
Esi: About Agnes? Be careful. You know they’re gonna be watching her.
Liz: [ Whispering ] Yeah.
[ Red is riding in his Mercedes, talking on the phone ]
Cooper: [On phone] We found the Bronco. Abandoned in a parking garage.
Red: Have you gone outside the Task Force for help on this?
Cooper: We can clean up our own mess.
Red: Evidence would suggest otherwise, Harold.
Cooper: Broadcasting her fugitive status would ruin any chance Elizabeth has of putting this genie back in a bottle.
Red: Is she the genie or am I the genie? I’m confused.
Cooper: You know what I find confusing? The tape Elizabeth played me of you and Katarina where she accuses you of being a Russian spy.
Red: Oh, by all means, Harold, let’s take what Brunhilda says on that tape as gospel.
Cooper: N-13. What does that mean to you?
Red: It means you need to get your priorities straight. You picked up the telephone and now we’re talking. When was the last time you talked with Agent Keen? Elizabeth Keen is your target. Not me.
[ Phone clicks shut ]

[ Red points toward a man walking on the sidewalk ]
Red: There he is.
[ Dembe pulls over ] [ Red motions to the man to get in, which he does ] [ Horns honk in distance ] [ The man’s name is Rakitin ]
Red: I’m not an errand boy. I won’t be ordered about.
Rakitin: Our friend has concerns about Keen.
Red: Elizabeth Keen is not to be touched. I accept our friend’s concern, nothing more.
Rakitin: You’re familiar with Scuti Global?
Red: Of course. Scuti Global It’s become quite the profit center.
Rakitin: Which it will continue to be as long as I have their trust.
Red: [ Chuckling ] And you’re a little concerned that trust may be broken now that your name has surfaced as part of this House Intelligence Committee investigation.
Rakitin: Before you go to Moscow, we’d like you to make this go away.
Red: I see. So I came here to be interrogated and solicited.
Rakitin: I like to think you came here to do the right thing.
Red: [ Laughs ]

[ Ressler and Aram walk up behind Merritt ]
Merritt: Is this really necessary?
Ressler: Well, you said that Liz didn’t tell you when she was gonna come and pick up Agnes, so we have to assume that she could pick her up anytime.
Merritt: So you’re just gonna follow us everywhere we go?
Aram: We don’t want to frighten Agnes, but we have to find Liz.
Merritt: So you can take her away from her daughter?
Aram: That’s the last thing we want.
Merritt: Then promise me you won’t.

Merritt: Hey, girl. Need any help?

Merritt: What are you doing here?
Liz: Just admiring my beautiful girl.
Merritt: There are agents in the lobby.
Agnes: I already told her.
Liz: How about you go to class and I’ll tell Merritt about our plan, okay?
Agnes: Okay, Mommy. See you tonight?
Liz: Yes, you will. I can’t wait. [ Hug ]

Merritt: Liz, the FBI is following me.
Liz: Not anymore. Not if you do exactly as I say. Now, listen carefully.
[ Lou’s Diner ] [ Birds chirping ]
[ Inside the restaurant, Marvin Gerard sits in a booth across from Skip Hadley, discussing accounts Skip has prepared on an electronic tablet ]
Marvin: Even if Reddington liked you, which I suspect he doesn’t. And even if he trusted you, which I am positive he doesn’t, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill you if you showed him this.
Skip: I thought you wanted me to organize the accounts.
Marvin: I did. But digitally? He insists on analog accounting. A book. A ledger. Something offline.
[ Liz walks up ]
Liz: Marvin.
Marvin: The answer is no.
Liz: [ To Skip ] Hi. I’m Liz.
Skip: Skip. I know who you are. Sort of a legend around the office.
Marvin: I know who you approached.
Liz: Mm.
Marvin: Brimley. Heddie. Ruddiger. Morgan and Chuck. And I also know that they all turned you down.
Liz: They turned me down because they don’t know the truth. You do. You know he’s sick. You know that when he’s gone I’ll be in power because you wrote the will.
Marvin: That’s right. You wait, you get everything. So wait.
Liz: I can’t.
Marvin: Why, because he killed your mother? You’re declaring war to defend the honor of a woman who abandoned you as a child and murdered your grandfather.
Liz: If you help me, you write your own ticket. We’ll be partners. 50/50. I could make you ridiculously rich.
Marvin: Red’s my friend.
Liz: Sure, if you can help him out. But if you can’t, you’re out. He’s not loyal, he’s transactional. You really think if he were sitting where you are now, knowing that the balance of power was shifting in my direction, he would really choose you over me?
[ Cup thumps lightly ]
Skip: Maybe you should think about it.
Marvin: Law review at Yale. Moron.
Liz: He seems pretty smart to me.
Marvin: Alright. I’ll think about it.

Tadashi: Hey. Is this making the move?
Red: Heaven forbid. Tadashi, say hello to Guinevere.
Tadashi: Hi. Personally, I like a good cherub.
Red: Taste aside, Tadashi will make the task ahead of you quick and easy.
Guinevere: The task. What task?
Red: Erasing certain information from the computer server of the House Committee on Intelligence. Tadashi has a skillset and, as counsel, you have the access. As I said, quick and easy.
Guinevere: What makes you think I would do something like that?
Red: Danielle Steel. You have 16 hardcovers. No one has that many romance novels and wants to live alone in Cleveland Park.
Guinevere: And if I say no?
Red: Keep up, Gwen. Tomorrow you’ll go to work as usual, except that when you’re alone and the moment provides, you’ll contact Tadashi who will walk you through the steps of inserting the thumb drive into the server which will contaminate and eliminate the data on said server.
Guinevere: Absolutely not. I would be fired. I would go to prison for treason.
Red: Not if it was a mistake.
Tadashi: The malware kit’s designed to mimic liquid contamination, a leak in the gasket around the head assembly and corrosion on the platter surface.
Red: You’ll spill a cup of coffee to cover our tracks.
Guinevere: And I’d be fired.
Red: Yes. Walking out of your old life and into your better life.

[ Guinevere hands the material back ] [ Paper rustles ]
Guinevere: Please leave.
Red: Guinevere, Tadashi tells me you’re something of a scofflaw. He says you haven’t paid all your taxes. Some, but not all.
Guinevere: [ Gasps ]
Red: Not even close to all in– What?
Tadashi: Four years federal, three state.
Guinevere: My mother is sick. She doesn’t have insurance.
Red: Listen, don’t get me wrong. I couldn’t be more understanding and supportive of a righteous tax dodge– Or not righteous [ Chuckling ] for that matter. But I doubt the FBI will share my sympathies, which is why I suggest you carry out the task ahead. What do you say? Comedy or tragedy? How this story ends is entirely up to you.

Cooper: Elizabeth has walked away from her. I never thought she would. I was mistaken.

[ Aram takes on the task of keeping Agnes occupied ]
Aram: Okay, while the grownups figure out all the boring grownup stuff, you and I are going to play a paper airplane contest. Sound good?
Agnes: I suppose.
Aram: You suppose? You suppose? [ Enthusiastically: ] There’s no supposing. The goal is to figure out who can fly the most paper airplanes into that garbage can. You do know how to make a paper airplane, right?
[ Agnes shakes her head “no” ]
Aram: Okay. That’s alright. I’ll make them. You fly them. Sound good?
[ Ressler gets off the elevator ]
Aram: Here we go. Okay.

Ressler: Ressler.
Liz: How is she?
Ressler: This text. It’s from you.
Liz: Is she okay?
Ressler: Sure looks like it. [ Chuckling ] Her and Aram are making a mess of the office.
[ Liz is calling from the train station ]
Liz: I got Marvin Gerard to turn. So I have the resources I need to get out.
[ A voice on the P.A. is heard in the background ]
Ressler: What about Agnes?
Liz: You were right. Being on the run is no place for her.
Ressler: And the mistake your mother made?
Liz: I guess I’m more like her than I care to admit.
Ressler: So these lists of TV shows and food– They’re what Agnes likes.
Liz: And the address is a self-storage unit. There’s a locker there with her favorite clothes and books.
Ressler: She’s gonna be okay.
Liz: Promise?
Ressler: I do. Until you’re back, she’s gonna have lots of doting uncles.
[⚡️Train brakes screech⚡️]
Liz: I got to go.
Ressler: No, you don’t.
Liz: I do. And this time I have to mean it.

[ Ressler knocks on the glass by Aram’s workstation, beckoning Aram ]
Aram: Oh. [ To Agnes ] I’ll be right back.
[ Aram walks over to Ressler ]
Aram: What’s up?
Ressler: Keen called me. I couldn’t run a trace, but I did record it.
Aram: Liz called you?
Ressler: Look, I don’t know from where, but there were some muffled sounds in the background. I need you to enhance the audio.
Aram: Okay. I may not be able to beat a 6-year-old in a paper plane contest – Seriously, she’s destroying me, she’s like a- she’s like a mini Chuck Yeager – But I do know that when you say “Keen called me” what you’re really saying is “Keen called me again.”
Ressler: Look, I know what Cooper said–
Aram: He didn’t “say,” he ordered.
Ressler: Yeah, but I told you, if you saw her you’d think differently.
Aram: You saw her?! When? Where? Was it at your apartment? Please. Please tell me it wasn’t at your apartment. Was it at your apartment?
[ Ressler gives Aram his cellphone ]
Ressler: [ Sternly ] The audio. Enhance it.
[ Cooper’s office. Red is still there. Ressler and Aram enter ]
Ressler: We know where Keen is.
Aram: The Silver Spring train station.
Ressler: She called me to ask about Agnes. There was noise in the background. Aram was able to enhance it.
[ Ressler plays the enhanced audio: ]
Woman on P.A.: – now arriving on Track One, the Blue Ridge, en route to Washington, this is the Silver Spring stop.
Cooper: I’ll inform Montgomery County PD. You get a TAC team and roll out.
Red: Any fingers crossed, Donald? Toes?
Ressler: [ Annoyed ] What’s got your goat?
Red: It’s not a goat, it’s a wild goose. The one I fear you have us all chasing.
Ressler: Now, what’s that supposed to mean?
Red: You’re a good agent. But I wonder if maybe you’re an even better friend.
Ressler: You think I’m helping her. I mean, that this is some sort of a trick, a false lead to draw us one way while she goes the other.
Red: I think it’s a possibility.
Ressler: [ Chuckles ] That’s rich coming from you. When the only reason she may get away is because she turned one of your people. Marvin Gerard’s giving her all the resources she needs.
Red: Elizabeth told you that?
Ressler: She did. And I believe her.
Red: I believe you do. That’s what worries me.
[ Red walks past Ressler and leaves ]

[ Cooper motions for Aram to close the office door ]
Cooper: Well?
Aram: Well what?
Cooper: Is there anything to it?
Ressler: Well, she trusts me. And that’s not a problem. I mean, it’s why we have a lead.
Cooper: Has there been other contact?
Ressler: Well, she called me twice, and, um, she came to my apartment.
Aram: [ Quietly ] Called it.
Cooper: We’ll talk about this when we get back from the station.
Ressler: What do you mean “we”?
Cooper: This is clearly complicated. For all of us. If this is a chance to apprehend Elizabeth, it appears we may need to give each other the strength to do it.

[ Red, Marvin Gerard and Skip Hadley sit around a small table in a basement. Dembe stands nearby ]

Skip: That’s true, Mr. Reddington. I was there. I saw it.
Red: You saw it.
Skip: Yes, sir, I did.
Red: Did you also see Marvin buy airline tickets to Switzerland?
Marvin: Of course he didn’t. Because I didn’t buy airline tickets to Switzerland.
Red: My mistake. You bought tickets to Switzerland and booked a suite at the Kupfer Grand in Zurich.
[ Red hands Marvin a copy of the paperwork ]
Marvin: [ Scoffs ] You don’t see it. It’s staring you in the face and you’re so puffed up with anger that you don’t see it.
Red: Enlighten me.
Marvin: My name. It’s on the reservation. You think I’d throw in with Keen and make getaway plans using my own name? That I’d steal from you without even attempting to hide it?
Red: I think you never forgave me for the three years you spent in prison.
Marvin: I went to prison because I was loyal to you!
Red: Yes. And now that you know my days are numbered, your loyalty has shifted. I understand. You’re just looking ahead, playing the long game.
Marvin: You’re the one who’s being played. Getting you to hurt me is her way of getting you to hurt yourself.
Red: Except I won’t be hurt, not with the adorable Skip stepping up to fill the void.
Marvin: I’m sorry, what?
Red: [ To Dembe ] Has Marvin been locked out of the accounts?
Dembe: As of 20 minutes ago.

Dembe: I want to ask you a question. When I do, I need you to give me an honest answer.
Red: Of course.
Dembe: Did you want Elizabeth to see you shoot her mother? Knowing that if she did, it would send her to a place so dark she would never go back to her old life.
Red: Why would I ever do that?
Dembe: Because you live in that dark place. And she can’t take over your empire without living there, too. You mock the FBI for being conflicted about arresting someone they love, but you love her, too, and I’m not sure you want her arrested, either.
Red: I never said I wanted her arrested. But I do want her found.
Dembe: You can see what it’s done – You keeping so much from her. It– It’s hardened her. Made her worthy of the Blacklist. What I want to know is if this was your plan all along.

Cooper: Agent Keen played you both. She played on your feelings for her. As an agent. A friend. A mother. She used you.
Ressler: Yes, she did.
Cooper: Given that, you should recuse yourselves from the case.
Aram: We agree. Which is why we prepared our letters of resignation.
[ Aram lays an envelope on Cooper’s desk ]
Ressler: The Task Force has one job now– To bring Keen in. And we’ve proven that we’re not up to that job.
Cooper: You both agree this is for the best?
Ressler: We do.
Cooper: As do I. But if I ask you to leave then– if I’m honest, I’d have to as well.
Aram: Why? You’ve done nothing to compromise this investigation.
Cooper: No, but I’ve felt like compromising it. I’ve wanted it to be compromised. Would I have taken Agent Keen into custody if she’d been at the train station? Yes, I would have. Was I relieved that I didn’t have to – You’re damn right I was. Was I angry that she tricked us into going there so she could come here to get her daughter – absolutely. Am I glad they’ve been reunited, of course I am.
Aram: So – what do we do now?
Cooper: I tell you what we’re not gonna do – Let total strangers go after one of our own.
[ Cooper takes the envelope with the resignation letters and puts it in his desk drawer ]
Ressler: I do not look forward to having Reddington find out that we let her slip through our fingers once again.
Cooper: I spoke to him just before you came up here. I doubt he’ll do much gloating. It seems he misjudged Marvin Gerard.
Ressler: Yeah, Keen told me he flipped.
Cooper: So you’d tell Reddington. So he’d empower Gerard’s number two– Who turns out to be in her pocket.
Aram: When you say empowered–
Cooper: Reddington gave him account access. Which he used to transfer 35 million euros to Elizabeth.

♫ Ruins (feat. Ásta Fanney Sigurðardóttir)
By aYia[ Full lyrics unavailable as of 2/1/2021, however, this is offered at the link: ]
A thumping, eerie, dark wave track that creates a sense of urgency, tension, and anxiety to the very core. “Ruins” consists of minimal synth melodies, a guttural pounding bass line and twitching, creepy overtones. This looming tune is then glazed to perfection with the ghostly breathy vocals of poetess Ásta Fanney Sigurðardóttir.
The song’s lyrics reflect the suspense created by the production itself, being about “the abstract brutal truth of our surreal existence,” according to Ásta. “There is a long tension of a looming danger, bad mistakes that lead astray,” she continues. “You are sailing down the river of bad luck, resistance is useless against the stream, you have to learn how to use it, to bend it, to turn it in the other direction. Not by fighting it, but by fooling it.”
