š“ Script 10:22 Reddington: Good Night
Brief (Where weāre at):
Congressman Arthur Hudson is dead, shot in the forehead by Red after Hudson shot Dembe in the neck. The showdown happened after Dembe was placed under arrest for tipping Red off. Not trusting the task force, Hudson arranged for Dembe to be transferred to FBI headquarters, but Red had two trucks ram the transfer vehicles. Dembe told Red he did not wanted to go with him, but rather would accept his punishment. Hudson took Nixonās firearm from him while Nixon was still unconscious and pointed it at Red, but Chuck pointed his assault rifle at Hudson. Ressler shouted for Chuck to drop his weapon but Chuck wouldnāt.
Dembe tried to defuse the situation, putting himself in the middle. But Hudson said he didnāt trust anyone and refused to accept that Dembe wanted to return with him. Then Hudson was startled by a sound and shot Dembe in the neck, wounding him badly. Red who had not previously drawn a gun, took out his weapon and killed the Congressman with one shot. To keep Ressler from shooting anyone, Red then shot several times directly into Resslerās bulletproof vest, until Ressler was on the ground. This allowed Red to escape with Dembe, bleeding profusely, to seek medical help.

[ Tense music playing ]
[ Red and Chuck, with Dembe between them bleeding profusely, enter the closest medical establishment they can find ]
Red: Miss, Miss, the doctor on duty ā We need someone here, now!
Receptionist: Oh, my God.
[ She picks up the phone ]
Red: No police.
Receptionist: I wasnāt. I was just gonna call an ambulance.
Red: Thereās no time. He wonāt survive the wait.
Receptionist: You need a hospital. This is a nursing home.
[ A woman with a chart walks into view ]
Red: You. Are you a nurse?
Nurse Practitioner: Y-Yes.
Red: Can we have that chair, please? This man needs your help. Heās losing too much blood. He needs a transfusion immediately.
Nurse Practitioner: Heās been shot?
Red: You have a medical unit on site?
Nurse Practitioner: Yes. But itās not an emergency room. We donāt have a large supply of blood on standby.
[ She pushes Dembe in the wheelchair ]
Red: [ To Chuck ] Stay here. Keep an eye. [ To Nurse Practitioner ] We wonāt need it. Iāll supply the blood directly.
Nurse Practitioner: A direct transfusion? Thatās highly unusual. It may not even be possible if your blood types arenāt compatible.
Red: We are compatible.
Nurse Practitioner: There are protocols. If you supply him directly, whatever blood he gets is blood you lose. I donāt know anything about your history. It could have a serious impact on your health as well.
Red: Hook us up. Now.
[ Dramatic music playing ]

[ Eerie music plays ] [ Siren šØ wailing in distance ]
[ The site of the crashes and shootings is now an active crime scene ]
[ Camera shutter clicks ā½ ā½ ] [ Indistinct conversations ] [ Radio chatter ]
[ Ressler talks on the phone to Herbie and Siya in the Post Office war room ]
Ressler: Okay. Cooperās here. Heās coordinating the search for Dembe and Reddington.
Herbie: Are you all right?
Ressler: Yeah. Iām okay. Dembe was shot ā bad. He was hit in the neck. Hudson got ahold of Nixonās gun and panicked.
[ Flashback: ]
[ Hudson shoots š„ Dembe in the neck ]
[ Red draws his gun and shoots š„ Hudson in the forehead, killing him ] [ ⦠]
[ Ressler walks over to where to where Hudson lies; he also sees the large pool of blood left by Dembe ]
Ressler: Hudsonās dead. Reddington dropped him right where he stood.
[ Herbie looks at Siya, alarmed ]
Siya: Whereās Dembe now?
Ressler: Reddington took him. Chuck was here. They threw him in a van and took off.
Herbie: The closest hospitals arenāt that close.
Siya: Weāll check them. Uh, what about one of those āmedical cubesā Reddington has at the ready? He couldāve called for one.
Ressler: No. Even those take time to stand up. The equipment, the doctors have to travel. Dembe wouldnāt make it. He was bleeding badly.
Siya: Weāll find him. Donald, listen to me. Weāll find him.
āā
[ A Paramedic walks over to Ressler ]
Paramedic: All right, letās get you checked out.
[ Ressler takes off the bulletproof vest. Thereās no blood, but Ressler groans ]
āā
[ Radio chatter ] [ Congressman Hudsonās body is placed in a body bag ]
[ Siren šØ wailing in distance ]
āā
Paramedic: My guess? Multiple rib fractures. But weāll take you in, weāll get you checked out.
Ressler: No. Iām staying here.
[ Radio chatter, šØ sirens wailing šØ]
[ Somber music plays ]
[ The gurney with the body is rolled past ]
Ā
[ Agent Jordan Nixon confronts Ressler ]
Agent Nixon: You knew, didnāt you? You knew Reddington wouldnāt abandon Zuma. You let us roll right into an ambush.
Ressler: Are you kidding me? What do you think, we planned this?
Nixon: Reddington got his intel from somewhere. Zumaās gone.
Ressler: You were knocked out. You didnāt even see what went down.
[ Cooper has heard the angry voices and walks over ]
Cooper: Hey, thatās enough. Believe me, nobody on the Task Force wanted this to happen. Reddington did this on his own.
Nixon: You expect me to believe you? Arthur Hudson is dead.
Cooper: Agent Nixon, I am doing everything in my power to keep from losing my composure. I suggest you do the same.
Nixon: [ Scoffs ] Look at that. Three in the body armor. Reddingtonās a crack shot, and, what, you just got lucky, right?
Ressler: Oh, you canāt help yourself, can you?
Cooper: Our focus should be on finding Reddington and Zuma, not pointing fingers at each other.
Nixon: Iām onto you guys. And Iām coming for all of you. And if you think Hudson was relentless, man, you aināt seen nothing yet.
Ressler: Hey, pal, my partner just got shot in his neck.
Nixon: Yeah. I guess Reddington didnāt factor in Hudson having the stones to grab my gun and try to stop him.
Ressler: What? Stones? He got himself killed! Agent Zuma got shot because your boy Hudson had no idea what he was doing. I mean, what the hell was he thinking pulling a weapon on someone like Reddington?
Nixon: So he shouldāve just let Zuma escape?
[ Agent Ishwood has been listening to the argument. He also witnessed the shootings ]
Agent Iswood: Jordan, man, youāre wrong on this.
Ressler: No, Agent Zuma refused to escape. He never intended to go with Reddington.
Nixon: I donāt believe that. And youāre lucky I wasnāt there.
Ishwood: You werenāt. But I was. And itās true, Jordan. Zuma wasnāt going to leave with Reddington. He told him he wasnāt going anywhere.
Nixon: And you donāt think that was part of the performance?
Ishwood: Performance? Youāre not hearing me. Zuma was unarmed. When Hudson drew on him, Zuma was the one trying to calm things down. He stepped in front of the gun. I saw it happen. Zuma did everything he could to diffuse the situation.
Ā
[ Cooperās cell phone rings āØ]
Cooper: Agent Malik?
Siya: I think we found him.
Cooper: How?
Herbie: We reached out to DC Memorial. One of their surgeons was medevac-ed to a trauma in the field about an hour ago. Gunshot wound.
Cooper: Where āin the field?ā
Herbie: Uh, itās a nursing home called the Grandview. Just under five miles from the crash site.
Cooper: Send me the address. Weāre on our way. Ressler, we have a lead on Agent Zumaās location.
Ressler: Is he alive?
Cooper: I donāt know. But itās possible heās at a nursing home a few miles away.
Nixon: Wait, if you are still working with Reddington, your lead could take us exactly in the wrong direction.
Cooper: Does that mean youāre not coming?
[ Nixon and Ishwood look at one another and then follow ]
[ Tense music playing ]
Ā
[ Cooper, Ressler, Nixon and Ishwood arrive at the nursing home. A police officer is on duty ]
Cooper: Officer. Assistant Director Cooper, FBI. Whatās going on here?
Officer: Apparently, some guys with weapons brought in an unknown subject with a gunshot wound.
Cooper: Where is he now?
Officer: Medical clinic, end of the hall.
[ Tense music playing ] [ Someone is mopping up a track of blood on the floor ]
[ Agent Nixon pulls his gun ]
Nixon: If Reddington is in there, follow my lead.
[ They open the door to the procedure room ]
Dr. Halloran: Out. I said get out now!
[ She is sewing up the wound on Dembeās neck ]
[ The agents back off ]
Ā
[ Later, in Dembeās hospital room; Dembe is still unconscious ]
Dr. Halloran: Heās lucky to be alive. His airwayās intact. The bullet missed his carotid and his spinal column, but it nicked his jugular. He should stay here until he stabilizes.
Nixon: The man who brought him in. You saw him?
Dr. Halloran: Briefly. He left shortly after I arrived.
Nixon: Dr. Halloran, we believe that man was Raymond Reddington.
Dr. Halloran: I donāt know who that is.
Cooper: Regardless, maybe he said something before he left? Something to indicate where he was going?
Dr. Halloran: No. But wherever he is, I hope heās resting.
Nixon: Why is that?
Dr. Halloran: Because based on what I saw, heās not well. You have to understand that, as the recipient, Agent Zuma was saved by that transfusion. But not everyone is a candidate to be the donor in a direct transfer.
Cooper: Was he exhibiting any symptoms?
Dr. Halloran: No question. He was weak. He had shortness of breath. My sense was he wasnāt oxygenating well. I urged him to go to an emergency room when he left.
Nixon: Then maybe he did.
Dr. Halloran: I donāt think so. āThat, my dear, will have to wait. I need to be traveling.ā
Cooper: Traveling?
Dr. Halloran: Thatās what he said. Sorry, fellas. Thatās all I got.
[ Dramatic music playing ]
Ā
[ The Post Office war room ]
Siya: Okay. That was Ressler. Theyāre on their way back. Dembeās gonna stay put until he shows more progress.
Herbie: Heās still not conscious?
[ Siya shakes her head ]
Siya: Reddington told the surgeon heād be traveling.
Herbie: Ah, well, thatās what my wife, Holly, would call unhelpful information.
Siya: We could start with the airports and airstrips within maybe 50 miles or so, see how many private flights left after Reddington was last seen.
Herbie: Okay.
Ā
[ Agents Nixon and Ishwood get off the yellow elevator ]
Ishwood: I already spoke to Rutherford.
Nixon: Then go over her head.
Ishwood: Sheās the Deputy Director of National Intelligence. If anyone knows, she knows. At this point, none of the federal agencies have any solid intel on Reddingtonās location.
Nixon: How is that possible?
Ishwood: Itās Reddington. Half the worldās been looking for the man since the mid-ā90s.
Nixon: Yeah, well, you mark my words. His timeās running out. I just heard a doctor say he was compromised.
Ishwood: What does that mean?
Nixon: It means you watch. Reddingtonās gonna make a mistake. And when he does, someone will find him. And Iām telling you now, if itās me?
[ Handcuffs rattle ]
Nixon: I wonāt be needing these. Because I will put the man down ā just like he did to Arthur Hudson.
[ Agents Nixon and Ishwood leave ]
Siya: So ā that happened.
Herbie: He knew we were standing here. He saw us. Thatās what this is. Thatās what weāre doing.
Siya: Herbie.
Herbie: You heard him. A federal agent, a sworn officer of the FBI, brazen enough to openly say he intends to murder his target.
Siya: Well, his friend was killed. H-He was upset.
Herbie: Meaning what? You donāt think heāll do it? āCause he will.
Siya: No, he wonāt. Because weāre gonna find Reddington first.
Herbie: Sorry. I canāt. Finding Dembe, that was different. But hunting Red? Helping them?
Siya: Weāre not helping them. Weāre helping Ressler and Cooper avoid prosecution.
Herbie: I like it here. Itās been fun, being part of the team ā but I never signed on for this. I love Reddington. And Holly and Sue adore him. If I helped the FBI capture Raymond ā or worse? They would never forgive me. I would never forgive me.
Siya: I understand. I-Iām also ready for this to be over. Iāll let Cooper and Ressler know.
Herbie: Are you sure youāre on the right side?
[ Herbie turns and heads toward the elevator ]
[ Pensive music plays ]
Ā
[ Cooperās office ] [ Ressler and Siya are there ]
Cooper: Heās not wrong to ask. This is hard for all of us.
Ressler: I still canāt believe it happened. I mean, Hudson was a pain in the ass. But ultimately, he was one of the good guys.
Cooper: I may not have liked him, but he wasnāt wrong. God knows we crossed the line more times than I care to admit or remember.
Ressler: We need to find Reddington.
Siya: I did some research. Turns out, there were around two dozen private planes that left DC in the first few hours after Reddington was last seen. I was able to narrow them down, because not all of them were capable of international travel. But even those will take some time to check out. One went to Montreal. The others to Mexico City, Caracas, Marseille, Tokyo, Kingstonā
Ressler: Let me guess. All the manifests youāve reviewed so far are clean.
Siya: They are.
Ressler: I donāt think weāre gonna find Reddington on any of those. He was the best in the world at moving around without raising suspicion.
Cooper: What if we start at the bathhouse?
Siya: He wonāt be there.
Cooper: No, but his things are there. Maybe he went back for something, or left something behind that might tell us where heās going.
Ressler: That makes sense. What about Nixon? Are we bringing him into the loop?
Siya: I wouldnāt do that.
Cooper: I think we have to. He already doesnāt trust us. At this point, I donāt see any reason to hide anything.
Siya: Well, then itās a good thing Iām still here, because I can give you a damn good reason.
Ā
[ The Post Office war room ] [ Indistinct conversations ]
Cooper: Nixon. Hey. We may never find Reddington, but we need to talk about what happens if we do.
Nixon: And whyās that?
Cooper: Because I hear youāve been running your mouth about putting him down instead of bringing him in.
Nixon: Running my mouth? I donāt care if you are an Assistant Director. You need to change your tone if you expect me to hear you.
Cooper: I expect you to act like a professional.
Nixon: [ Through his teeth ] Oh, thatās good ā coming from the man who facilitated Reddingtonās treason.
Cooper: I stand by my actions. And I stand behind anything this Task Force has ever done. If someone well above your pay grade wants to hold me accountable for anything weāve done, they know where to find me. But that goes for you, too. If you execute Reddington, if thereās even a whiff of excessive force involved, I will make sure you are held accountable. Are we clear?
Nixon: That man killed a congressman. An honorable man. A public servant. And youāre concerned about him?
Cooper: This isnāt about him. This is about me and you. When this is finished, Reddington will be judged for his crimes. And so will I. But so will you.
Nixon: Timeās up, old man. The days of you protecting Reddington, the days of your āTask Forceā embarrassing this Bureauā
[ Nixon steps toward Cooper ]
Cooper: Take a step back.
[ Ressler hears the argument and approaches ]
Nixon: Why? I thought this was about me and you.
Cooper: I wonāt tell you again.
[ Nixon steps closer ]
Nixon: You wonāt tell me anything.
[ Cooper shoves Nixon; Nixon stumbles backwards ]
[ Ressler steps in ]
Ressler: Whoa, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy. Break it up. Neutral corners, fellas. [ To Cooper ] You all right?
Nixon: Good talk, Grandpa.
[ Cooper gets into the elevator with Siya ]
Ressler: You gave me a hard time for hitting Hudson, now youāre getting physical?
Cooper: Weāll call you from New York.
[ Elevator doors close ]

Cooper: I didnāt expect him to be here, but part of me thought maybe, if heās not wellā
Siya: It feels a bit eerie. Reddington filled this place, you know?
Cooper: This place and our lives for a long time now. The manās worn many hats. Friend. Confidant. Nemesis. Heās a grandparent to Agnes.
Siya: And an international fugitive. With books on advanced econometrics, astrophysics, Micronesian art and ā

Cooper: Itās Agent Ressler. Howās Dembe?
Dembe: Harold.
[ Ressler is holding his phone up to Dembe ]
Cooper: My friend. It is so good to hear your voice again.
Siya: Dembe, thank God youāre all right.
Cooper: How you feeling?
Dembe: Mm. Tired. Raymond?
Cooper: Weāre in New York. At the bathhouse.
Ressler: He knows. We talked about everything. Hudson, Nixon, what happened with Reddington.
Dembe: We have to find him.
Cooper: Weāre trying. But thereās no sign of him here.
Siya: Itās been a minute since I was here, but everything looks just as it was.
Ressler: Thatās what he does. Heāll walk away from everything with nothing but whatās left in his pockets.
[ Suddenly, thereās a raid ] [ Doors crashā”ļøopen ]
Nixon: FBI! Federal agents! Everyone stay where you are!
Cooper: Youāve got to be kidding. Agent Ressler, Iāll call you back.
Ishwood: Clear, sir. Reddingtonās not here.
Nixon: Director Cooper. Tell me again about how weāre all on the same side.
Cooper: What is this?
Nixon: You want to catch Reddington, right? Thatās why you failed to disclose you knew exactly where he was living.
Cooper: How did you find this place? You followed us here?
Nixon: Damn right. You want to tell me what you were doing here?
Cooper: Looking for evidence. And if weād have found any, weād have shared it with the Bureau.
Nixon: Let me guess. You didnāt. Find any.
Cooper: No. Thereās nothing useful here.
Nixon: We wonāt be taking your word for it.
Cooper: Fine. Have at it. Agent Malik and I were just leaving.

Red: Good morning, Angela.
Angela: Itās not morning anymore. You slept for a very long time.
Red: I did?
Angela: Mm-hmm.
Red: The soup was delicious. Thank you.
Angela: Youāre welcome. How are you feeling?
[ Red notices some flower blossoms ]
Red: These are quite something.
Angela: Azahar.
Red: Yes, orange blossoms. So beautiful here this time of year. You know, they say the golden apples of immortality, the ones Hercules went looking for, they werenāt apples at all. They were bitter oranges.
[ Sniffs, coughing ] [ Red steps away, coughing into a handkerchief. There are specks of blood ]
Angela: You should go back to bed.
Red: Ah. [ Sighs ]
[ Red steadies himself by holding on to the counter ]
Red: Actually, I was thinking about taking a walk. [ Laughs ] See how I do.
Angela: When youāre feeling up to it, you should try going over the hill in the back. I grew up over there. Itās very beautiful.

Ernesto: [ Speaking Spanish ] Carolina. My daughter.
Carolina: [ In English ] Yes. I speak some English.
Red: Gracias. Iād love to buy one, but I walked a long way, so I canāt carry it home.
Carolina: Thisās not a problem. We can, uhā uh, how do you say it? Um, bring them later?

Red: Deliver. Deliver. Excellent. Uh, in that caseā Two, please.

[ Cooper is driving with Siya riding next to him holding her phone as they talk with Dembe and Ressler who is visiting Dembe in the hospital. The conversation is somewhat disjointed due to the awkward communication setup ]
Cooper: Iām sure Nixon is realizing as we speak, the bathhouse was a bust.
Ressler: So weāre back to square one.
Siya: I can just imagine him walking around, checking out all of Redās eccentricities.
Dembe: Perhaps we should find Edward.ā
Siya: One of the wealthiest men in the world and sleeping on whatās basically a cot in a locker room.
Dembe: āThatās usually my first call when I need to find him.
Siya: No television, no Wi-Fi, just a few books, a hot plate, some clothes, and a huge burlap sack with theā Oh, my God.
Ressler: Yeah, well, Edward might be a little less helpful now that Reddington blew up his plane.
Siya: It wasnāt there. The sack with the horns. It wasnāt at the bathhouse.
Cooper: You said nothing was missing.
Siya: I was wrong. A sack with the skull of Islero, a Miuran bull that gored the famous matador, the one that was killed, uhā
Dembe: Manolete.
Siya: Yes. Manolete.
Dembe: Raymondās always been very interested in him.
Siya: He told me all about him. A man who āfound it easier to risk his life than live his life without risk.ā Reddington went to Mexico. He said a noble beast like that doesnāt belong on the wall above the bar of a dingy Mexican cantina.
Cooper: What are you thinking?
Siya: That he did go back to the bathhouse. To get the skull.
Dembe: To bring it home.
Siya: Thatās what he wanted. You could see, it was important to him.
Ressler: So that would mean he went to Spain?
Siya: To Seville. Uh, Andalusia. I think the ranch is there, where Islero was raised. My God. Marseille. One of the flights we looked at was from DC to Marseille. From there, itās what, maybe a two-hour trip to Seville?
Dembe: Raymond knows that area well. Thereās a villa in a town near Carmona, northeast of the city. Heās stayed there many times.
Cooper: I like it. Strange as it is, it feels like something he would do.

Agnes: Pinky!
Red: Ah! And here I thought I was just gonna be leaving you a message. What are you doing at home, sweetheart?
Agnes: Ugh, working on this science fair project. Alone.
Red: Wasnāt that supposed to be a group project?
Agnes: Supposed to be. But Becky has relatives visiting town and Andy, well ā I donāt know, he, umā Anyway, so Iām finishing it up myself.
Red: Sometimes the greatest flights in history, my dear, have been solo.
Agnes: What does that mean?
Red: [ Chuckles ] It means ākeep up the good work.ā I donātā [ Chuckles ]
Agnes: Pinky, I heard Pops on the phone. Is heā looking for you? Are you okay?
Red: I am. Itās nothing for you to worry about. So Becky has relatives in town and Andy, what, heās too busy to help?
Agnes: Andy has been ā acting really weird. He told Caitlin in third period that he kind of āliked me,ā but then we got assigned this project together and now he wonāt talk to me or help me with it.
Red: Iām not surprised.
Agnes: Why is he acting so goofy?
Red: Iād imagine heās nervous. We often stumble when weāre closest to the object of our endearment. Itās just one of those little twists of fate and affection. Agnes, sometimes boys can be so slow, and so dumb. Give him time. Heās just trying to come to terms with his feelings for you. Just keep crushing, but keep cool, and soon enough, heāll figure out how to crush back.
Agnes: [ Chuckles ] Pinky, youāre being such a mom.
Red: Yeah. āā I guess I just canāt help it.

[ Ressler groans as he gets out of a car in Seville; heās on a call with Cooper ]
Ressler: I thought I knew what pain was. And then I flew eight hours to Spain with two fractured ribs.
[ Cooper is visiting Dembe in the hospital ]
Cooper: And you canāt take painkillers.
Ressler: No. Iāll pass. I just got my one-year chip. I donāt think I want to re-set that clock.
[ Ressler reads the sign on the building he has reached ]
Ressler: āVilla Lobo.ā This must be the place.
Cooper: Youāre there. Already?
Ressler: Yeah. I went to see Commissioner Alvarez with the National Police in Seville when I landed.
Cooper: I spoke to him. Sounds like heād be thrilled to let the world know his department had a hand in catching Reddington.
Ressler: Yeah. No question. They gave me a car, said that whatever else I need is just a phone call away. This place is beautiful. No wonder Reddington likes it.
Dembe: Mm. Itās owned by one of Raymondās oldest friends. Bernardo Lobo. We met many years ago on a tour in a winery in the fields north of Bangkok.
Cooper: I didnāt know there were wineries in Thailand.
Dembe: [ Chuckles ] Youāre not alone. The two of them were the only ones who showed up for the tour.
[ Cooperās cell phone beepsš
]
Cooper: Ressler. Hang on. Weāre getting another call.
Ressler: No. Take it. Maybe itās a lead on Reddington.
Cooper: Call us after youāve checked out the villa.
āā
[ Cooper takes the other call ]
Cooper: Harold Cooper.
Red: Harold! Sorry to intrude. I called the front desk to speak with Dembe, and they told me you were in for a visit.
Dembe: [ Chuckles ] Raymond?
Red: Ah! There you are. Do me a favor, old friend. Next time you get shot, make it an arm or a leg. The neck is just such nasty business.
Cooper: Reddington. Where are you? What are you doing?
Red: At the moment, Iām making myself a little something to eat. But enough about me. I wanted to check in, Dembe, hear how youāre doing?
Dembe: Iām alive. Which Iām told is thanks to you.
Red: Yes, well, itās the chicken or the egg situation, really. Who saves whom and then gets saved themselves. Itās been so many times over so many years, I canāt keep track.

[ The Villa Lobo ]
Angela: [ Speaks Spanish ]
Ressler: Sorry. I donāt speak much Spanish.
Angela: Ah. You speak English.
Ressler: Yes.
Angela: You are an American?
Ressler: From the United States. My name is Donald Ressler. Iām a Special Agent for the FBI.
Angela: Is something wrong?
Ressler: Yes, weāre looking for someone. His name is Raymond Reddington.
[ Ressler shows Angela two photos of Red, both at least 10 years old ]
Ressler: We received a tip that he might be here.
Angela: Here? This is the Villa Lobo.
Ressler: Yes. Maybe you know him by a different name. Have you seen that man?
Angela: SeƱor Lobo is away on business and there are no guests currently here in the house.
Ressler: Well, maybe I could confirm that for myself. Do you mind if I come in, look around?
[ Angela lets Ressler enter ]

Dembe: Raymond, the doctor here. She said you didnāt look too well.
Red: Oh, no. Youāre not turning the tables. This was my call to check up on you.

Dembe: Iām worried. This feels different. A congressman is dead. And Iām afraid. Iām afraid this time they wonāt be satisfied until ā you are, too.
[ Red is pouring himself a glass of wine ]
Red: Iām fine, Dembe. Iāll call again, when I have more time. Oh! I thought of something, a funny story thatā
[ The wine spills ]
Red: Oh, God. I haveā I have to go. Iāll, uhā Remind me next time. Ugh.
[ Red cleans up the spilled wine ]
āā
[ The room-by-room search continues ]
Angela: Thatās another suite for when we have guests.
Ressler: That door, whatās behind it?
Angela: Itās a kitchen.
[ Ressler draws his gun and enters ]
Angela: SeƱor. SeƱor, I told you, thereās nobody in the house.
[ Tense music playing ]
[ It is a kitchen. No one is there ]
[ Ressler sighs ]
Ressler: Thank you. It must have been a mistake, but, um, hereās my card in case you see or hear from Mr. Reddington. Hopefully youāll call me.
Angela: Iāll tell SeƱor Lobo you were here and give him this when he returns.
Ressler: Thank you.
Ā
[ Ressler calls Cooper ]
Ressler: No luck here.
Cooper: That was Reddington on the other line. Can you imagine? Cool as a cucumber.
Ressler: You got to be kidding me.
Cooper: Checking on Dembe. As if no one even cared where he was.
Ressler: Well, Iāll tell you where heās not. The Villa Lobo. A woman on the staff let me search the house. Reddingtonās not here.
Cooper: It was always just a theory. Maybe heās not in Seville.
Ressler: Or maybe he is and heās already gone.
Dembe: What about the market? As long as Iāve known him, anytime he goes somewhere for more than a few days he visits the local fresh market.
Cooper: You know, thatās not a bad idea. If he is in Seville, someone there wouldāve seen him.
Ressler: Itās worth a try. But itās getting late here. Uh, I got to get back to the city, find a hotel for the night. Weāll try those markets in the morning.
Ā
Red: How long ago?
Angela: A few minutes, maybe ten. Who is he? An American policeman.
Red: With the FBI. Yes. Humorless fellow with handsome hair. [ Chuckles ] Fair play, Donald. I wonder what youād actually do with yourself if one day you finally got your man?
Angela: What does it mean?
Red: [ Sighs ]
Angela: Are you leaving?
Red: Angela, how far is it to the Miura bull ranch from here?
Angela: Itās about an hourās drive. North and east. Why? Whatās at the Miura Ranch?
Red: Itās not whatās at the Miura Ranch. Itās what isnāt. But should be.
[ Red takes a drink of red wine ]
[ Gentle music playing ]

[ Pensive music playing ]
[ Red sits in the dark looking out the window ]
[ An animal, perhaps a bird, calls in the distance ]
[ Redās gaze shifts to the bullās skull propped on a chair in the darkened room, then he gazes out of the window again ]

[ Dembeās hospital room ]
[ Cooper appears at the door ]
Dembe: Harold?
Cooper: Iām sorry for the late visit. Itās been a long and crazy day.
Dembe: Itās okay. Come in. Iām sure if youāre here itās because you have news.
Cooper: I just spent the last few hours in a classified meeting at Main Justice. The Attorney Generalās decided not to file charges against you for warning Reddington about the raid at the airfield.
Dembe: But?
Cooper: But youāve been relieved of duty. Youāre no longer an active agent with the Bureau.
āŖ I canāt use it anymoreā āŖ
Cooper: Iām sorry, I tried.
āŖ Itās getting dark Too dark to seeā āŖ
Dembe: Itās okay, Harold. Really, it is.
Cooper: No. Itās not.
Dembe: Iām telling you it is. Sitting here ā all Iāve had is time to think. And I think ā itās time for me to get out from in front of or behind guns.
āŖ Knock, knock Knockinā on heavenās door āŖ
āŖ Whoa, oh āŖ
āŖ Knock, knock Knockinā on heavenās doorā āŖ

[ Red walks into Angelaās kitchen ]
Angela: Itās early.
Red: Men will be coming. They always come. And before they come, I always go.
Angela: Where?
Red: For a walk out back. Over the hill.
Angela: Take some water.
[ Angela gives Red a bottle of water ]
Red: Gracias.
Angela: De nada.
āŖ Mama, put my guns In the ground āŖ
āŖ I canāt shoot them anymore āŖ
āŖ That cold black cloud Is cominā aroundā āŖ
Ā
Cooper: Itās hard to believe this is how it ends. I mean, I always knew the Task Force would end one day, that my career would end one day ā but all of this?
Dembe: After I was shot, lying there on the street ā I thought I was dying. And in that moment, I was okay with that being the end. With all the things going through my mind ā I also thought of Raymond. More than anyone Iāve ever known, heās always been at peace with death. He says death is inevitable. It will come for us all. And that inevitability robs death entirely of its significance. What matters are the things that are not inevitable. The things we create. The things we find. The left we take when everything in our life is leading us right. How we live. Iāve always loved him for that. For his remarkable refusal to āgo quietly into that good night.ā
Cooper: The poem ā by Dylan Thomas. āRage, rage Against the dying of the light.ā
āā
[ Red walks through a field of waving grasses; grey clouds veil the mountains ]
āā
Dembe: Yes. Imagine. Raymond, a man surrounded by death in so many ways, so passionately committed to embracing life. He could have surrendered a thousand times over. But instead, he chooses to rage.
To rage against the dying of the light.
To rage against the bad guys that would do us all harm.
Rage to protect those people he loves.
āā
[ Red finds a wooden bench. He sits and drinks some water, looking at the mountains and the clouds ]
āā
Dembe: To find moments of peace and joy ā and fun [ laughs ] ā even though he knows the light is still dying. To live a most passionate life, knowing it will still lead to the same inevitable end ā is perhaps the most deeply moving choice one can make.
āŖ Feels like Iām āŖ
āŖ Knock, knock Knockinā on heavenās doorā āŖ
Dembe: It is the lesson at the very core of my time with him. [ Tearfully ] You never imagined this is how it would end. But our time with him, our time together, was never about how it ended. [ Emotionally ] It was about the adventure, about life, about Raymond constantly reminding us, showing us, imploring us ā to rage.
āŖ āon heavenās door āŖ
Dembe: [ Quietly ] To rage.

[ Gentle music playing ] [ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Ressler comes to the fresh market that Red visited earlier. He shows the photos of Red to the various vendors, hoping some speak English ]
Ressler: Excuse me. I was wondering if you could help me. Iām looking for this man. No? Thank you.
āā
[ Red comes to a barrier of rock, piled about a meter high. He leaves the empty water bottle in a crevice of the wall ]
āā
[ Ressler continues the search at the market ]
Ressler: Excuse me. Um, have you seen this man? You donāt speak English.
[ He goes from vendor to vendor ]
Ressler: Uh, thisā this man here? Thank you. āā Excuse me. This man. English? He speaks English. This man.
Vendor: Um, policia?
Ressler: Uh, yes, yes. F-From America. Los Estados Unidos.
Vendor: Ah, America. No. No, lo siento.
Ressler: Thank you.

[ Red climbs over the wall of piled rocks ]
āā
Ressler: Excuse me.
[ Ressler shows the photos to Ernesto ]
Ernesto: Si, si, si, si.
Ressler: You know him?
Ernesto: Si.
Ressler: Thatās great. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, where? Wh-Where was he?
Ernesto: [ Speaking Spanish ]
Ressler: [ In English ] I donāt understand. Iām sorry. Iām sorry. I donāt understand ā
Carolina: Sorry. My father doesnāt speak much English.
Ressler: Um, heā he said he saw this man here.
Carolina: Um, yes. Yes, the- the day before yesterday.
Ressler: Okay. This manās name is Raymond Reddington. Heās a fugitive. A criminal. The police are looking for him.
Carolina: Heās a criminal? He bought two watermelons. And we bring them to where he was staying at the Villa Lobo.
Ressler: The Villa Lobo? No. I was there yesterday. I spoke with a woman. He wasnāt there.
Carolina: Oh, you mean the main house? But, no, we didnāt bring them to the main house.
Ressler: You didnāt?
Carolina: No. The man youāre looking for is staying in the small house. The one that is for the staff, on the property behind the house.
Ressler: Graciā Gracias.

[ Angela comes to the door and opens it. Ressler pushes past her. He goes to a window, sees the staff house. He goes out a door into the courtyard. Angela hesitates, then follows him ]
[ Pulling his gun, Ressler goes inside the house. Red isnāt there. The bull skull is there. The bed is made, Redās clothes are neatly folded at the foot of the bed. He left his gun on a side table ]
[ Angela has followed Ressler into the small house ]
Ressler: Where is he? Reddington?
Angela: Out walking.
Ressler: Walking? Where? Where did he go?
Angela: Out!
Ressler: How long ago?
[ She doesnāt answer ]
[ Ressler takes out a phone and places a call ]
Ressler: This is Agent Ressler with the FBI. Put me in touch with Inspector Alvarez right away.

[ Ressler is in a helicopter flown by a pilot from the National Police. Ressler surveys the countryside. Below are yellow fields broken by brush and thicker sections of forest; in the distance, sloping hills with yellow crags fading into hazy blue mountains ]
[ Suddenly, Ressler spots something ]
Ressler: Whatās that? Bring it down here.
[ The helicopter lands. Ressler jumps out and runs until he comes upon Redās bruised, bloody and contorted body lying in a small hollow. One shoe and his hat are yards away. There is a gash on his forehead. The bull now stands at a safe distance away near some trees ]
[ Ressler doesnāt pause, but immediately makes a call on his cell phone ]
Ressler: Harold, Iāve got him! Iāve got him.
[ Ressler retrieves the crumpled straw hat and uses it to cover Redās face ]

ā« Stay Alive
By JosƩ GonzƔlez[Verse 1]
āŖ Thereās a rhythm in rush these days
Where the lights donāt move and the colors donāt fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean[Verse 2]
āŖ Sometimes thereās things a man cannot know
Gears wonāt turn and the leaves wonāt grow
Thereās no place to run and no gasoline
Engine wonāt turn and the train wonāt leave
Engines wonāt turn and the train wonāt leave[Chorus]
āŖ I will stay with you tonight
Hold you close ātil the morning light
In the morning watch a new day rise
Weāll do whatever just to stay alive
Weāll do whatever just to stay alive[Verse 3]
āŖ Well, the way I feel is the way I write
Nothing like the thoughts of the man who lies
There is a truth and itās on our side
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
Look into the sun as the new days rise[Chorus]
āŖ And I will wait for you tonight
Youāre here forever and youāre by my side
Iāve been waiting all my life
To feel your heart as itās keeping time
Weāll do whatever just to stay alive[Bridge]
āŖ Dawn is coming, open your eyes
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
Dawn is coming, open your eyes
Look into the sun as the new days rise[Outro]
āŖ Thereās a rhythm in rush these days
Where the lights donāt move and the colors donāt fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean
There is a truth and itās on our side
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
