Épisode La Banque S02E02 - The Blacklist Saison 2

Déguisé en peintres, un groupe d'hommes armés cambriolent la "Monarch Douglas Bank", plus exactement la succursale de Varsovie, fréquentée par les plus vils criminels du monde. Loin de là, Red appelle Mr. Kaplan pour "s'occuper" de trois corps. Il est mécontent quand celle-ci souligne que la poursuite de son ex-épouse prend de trop grandes proportions mais il sait qu'elle a raison. Naomi dit à Berlin que Red n'en a rien à faire d'elle, elle se cachait juste pour protéger sa fille. Ses paroles tombent dans l'oreille d'un sourd. Berlin lui arrache une molaire et l'envoie à Red dans une boîte à bijoux.

Lorsque Red convoque Liz pour lui parler du vol de la banque, il bénéficie d'une manucure, un ancien chirurgien en traumatologie, Rosa Heredia. Liz confirme que la fille de Red, Jennifer, a été placée sous protection avec sa mère en 1990 mais qu'elle a disparu les sept dernières années. Mais Red veut parler de la Monarch Douglas qui est sous la juridiction du FBI puisqu'elle est basée aux États-Unis. Bien que rien ne semble avoir été volé, le FBI estime que les relevés d'opérations criminelles doivent avoir été la cible des voleurs. Liz et Ressler partent pour la Pologne, ignorant que Samar Navabi suit chacun de leurs mouvements.

En Pologne, nos agents sont accueillis par l'agent Paul Salerno et le vice-président Matthew Strickland qui déclare qu'en fait 400 000 $ ont été dérobés. Strickland prend le chef de la sécurité, Feliks Kloza, à part : "la formule volée les tuera s'ils ne la récupèrent pas". Tous les clients appellent, dont Berlin qui attend une cargaison de Mogadiscio. Il ordonne à Strickland de le rencontrer à New York pour mettre les choses au clair. Strickland assure à Berlin que ses biens sont protégés par la formule. Il faut être patient. Peu habitué à la patience, Berlin assure à Strickland que s'il bousille la situation, il l'épluchera comme une grosse pomme pour donner l'exemple.

Après l'analyse des vidéo-surveillances extérieures de la banque, le FBI en déduit qu'en fait le cambriolage était un kidnapping, celui d'une employée Kaja Tomczak à qui la banque prête un appartement truffé de caméras. Le portier révèle que Kaja était toujours accompagnée de gardes, elle était captive. La fourgonnette utilisée pour la fuite est retrouvée à moitié brûlée et révèle un indice : une espèce de gelée rouge collante et odorante que Red reconnaît comme un accélérateur très particulier vendu par un seul marchand d'armes polonais et propriétaire d'une boulangerie, Kassia. En peu de temps, les agents localisent la planque où est détenue Kaja et la libèrent : mais elle n'est pas ravie, ce n'était pas un enlèvement, elle essayait de s'échapper ! Cooper leur indique un endroit sûre mais Kaja sait que si la police connaît l'endroit où elle se trouve, Strickland aussi !

Kaja raconte à Ressler qu'elle est hyperthymésique, une capacité exceptionnellement supérieure à accéder à des souvenirs autobiographiques, c'est à dire que toutes les transactions de la banque se trouvent dans son cerveau ainsi que tous les numéros de compte. Salerno veut la transférer à la police locale alors quand Liz refuse, il l'attaque. La bataille fait rage jusqu'à ce que Liz parvienne à tirer à travers le verre de la salle d'interrogatoire. Pendant ce temps, une  équipe tactique, qui n'a rien avoir avec le FBI, entre dans la planque. Par chance, Samar intervient pour les aider à s'enfuir permettant ainsi à Liz, Ressler et Kaja de sauter dans un taxi. Mais Kaja a été blessée. Aux Etats-Unis, Naomi parvient à poignarder son garde avec un os de poulet qu'elle a façonné et à se faufiler discrètement dans le manoir où Berlin la retient prisonnière. Il faut peu de temps à Berlin pour la retrouver et la menacer de lui prendre un autre doigt...

Après avoir failli être capturés à un barrage de police, Liz et Ressler volent une voiture et appellent Cooper qui leur ordonne de se débarasser du véhicule et des téléphones, de disparaître et de se rendre à une cabine téléphonique où il pourra les rappeler en toute sécurité. En fait, c'est Red qui les contacte à la cabine téléphonique pour leur donner des instructions : ils doivent se rendre à deux kilomètres de là et y retrouver un vieil ami, Kaspar Dubicki, qui se charge également de créer une diversion. Ressler et Liz montent Kaja dans un vieux wagon qui commence à rouler. Kaja, mourante fait une déclaration à Ressler : Gonzalez Cargo, numéro de compte 924386. Tout à coup, le wagon s'arrête. Accompagné d'une troupe d'hommes armés, Red entre et s'empare de Kaja afin de la conduire dans son jet pendant que Ressler et Liz ont une place en première classe réservée sur un vol pour les Etats-Unis. Red téléphone à Berlin pour organiser une rencontre à Coney Island. Red déclare qu'ils ont un ennemi commun, la personne qui a raconté à Berlin que c'était lui qui avait tué sa fille. En plus, Red détient Kaja et tout l'argent de Berlin, qu'il peut récupérer en échange de Naomi. Berlin accepte et met Red en garde : Red est aveuglé par sa passion pour Liz qui est en train de raconter à Cooper que Red a Kaja. Celle-ci est blessée et Liz se souvient tout à coup de la manucure de Red qui est aussi chirurgien. Grâce à elle, Liz retrouve Kaja et téléphone à Red pour lui annoncer qu'elle a gelé tous les comptes où il avait déposé l'argent de Berlin. En dépit du danger quand Berlin s'en rendra compte, Red refuse d'annuler le deal et Dembe donne les numéros des comptes pour libérer Naomi...Red retient son souffle mais la transaction est acceptée. Dembe s'occupe de Naomi et la conduit dans un endroit sûr.

De retour au FBI, Reven Wright dit à Cooper d'enterrer l'affaire. L'agent Salerno n'existe pas, tout comme les comptes du FBI, contenant 6,7 millions de dollars, dans cette banque. En outre, Cooper va lui donner toutes les informations sur les comptes de la Monarch stockées dans la tête de Kaja. Le lendemain, Cooper rencontre Samar dans un parc pour passer en revue ses dossiers sur Reddington. Alors que veut-elle en échange ? Liz rencontre Red et admet qu'elle a débloqué les comptes de Berlin. Après tout, c'est un consultant et elle est chargée de le protéger. Pour elle, dans son esprit, chaque meurtre de Berlin sera imputable à Red dorénavant. Red en déduit que Liz a un informateur secret. Il attendra qu'elle soit prête à lui révéler son nom. Pour sa part, Liz suspecte Kaja de n'avoir pas partagé toutes ses connaissances et ceci en échange de la protection de Red et d'une nouvelle identité. Une fois que Liz le laisse seul, Samar appelle avec des nouvelles. Elle travaille maintenant officiellement pour la Task-Force et attend avec impatience de travailler lui.

 A HOUSE, LOCATION UNKNOWN

Red opens the door

RED : You’re late.
MR KAPLAN : How many?
RED : Three.
MR KAPLAN : This is the second time in as many weeks.
RED : Everything was very polite, a few questions, a few answers. Then things got contentious.
MR KAPLAN : This business with your wife, this pursuit, it’s pushing you in ways that I don’t like.
RED : Don’t start with me, Kate. I’ll handle my business, you handle yours.

Below conversation occurs over scene of a bank heist

Dembe hands phone to Red

DEMBE : It’s Worboliski.
RED : Henryk.
WORBOLISKI : It’s Warsaw.
RED : What happened?
WORBOLISKI : They were hit 20 minutes ago.
RED : What do we know?
WORBOLISKI : Professional crew. Military precision. Six minutes in and out.
RED : We have an inventory?
WORBOLISKI : Safe-deposit boxes popped, some cash missing. They’re running numbers now.
RED : But you and I both know what they were after.

People scream in the bank

RED : Notify Dubicki. See if he knows anything about the team. I want a report within the hour.

Red hangs up

RED : Interesting.

To Kaplan wich handles bodies

RED : Mr. Kaplan, I’m sorry. You’re right. I’m out on the far end of the limb.
MR KAPLAN : Take a moment. Read a book. You will find your wife.

Sees man on floor moving

MR KAPLAN : Oh, dear.

Man groans : he isn't dead

RED : Aw, hell.

He shoots him

BERLIN'S SAFE HOUSE

Door closes

BERLIN : Hello, darling.
NAOMI : Listen, you’ve got it all wrong. Hurting me won’t – Reddington doesn’t care about me. It– it’s why I’m in hiding, is to protect my ch– my child.
BERLIN : You know what? You have such beautiful mouth. It’s perfect.

RED'S HOTEL

Door opens

RED : Lizzy! I’d like to introduce you to my manicurist, Rosa Heredia. She’s the one I was telling you about, who was dating that nine-fingered bullfighter from Juarez. This woman is an artist, trained at the Latin-American school of medicine in Havana.
LIZ : Medical school?
RED : Trauma surgeon. Dropped out in the last year of her residency. Discpanos por un momen, por favor.

Rosa leaves

LIZ : Your ex-wife ,have you found her?
RED : Jennifer. What have you learned about Jennifer?
LIZ : I confirmed your daughter was placed in protective custody with her mother in1990. The Marshal service lost contact seven years ago. She is unaccounted for.

Red closes the file, upset

RED : Monarch Douglas bank.
LIZ : What?
RED : The preferred bank of international criminals, dictators, terrorists, hedge-fund managers. They’re headquartered here in the U.S., deposits insured by the FDIC, which places them firmly within your Agency’s jurisdictional bailiwick. They have branches in 63 countries, but their criminal operation is run out of an unassuming little branch in Warsaw. And it is the last place on earth that anyone would ever want to rob. Well, less than two hours ago, Monarch’s Warsaw branch was assaulted.
LIZ : What was stolen?
RED : According to the official statement, nothing.
LIZ : And according to you?
RED : Everything.

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION

LIZ : Dante Stewart, the notorious arms dealer, the Juarez Cartel, the entire Marbella Crime Syndicate. Reddington claims these are just a few of the criminals who funnel money through Monarch Douglas.

Ressler arrives, he is late

COOPER : Our contacts at Treasury say Monarch’s records are spotless. They’re in full compliance.

LIZ : Despite that, according to Reddington, they’re legendary for laundering the money of the criminal elite without any traceable accounting.

RESSLER : There has to be some kind of record.

ARAM : That must be what they’re looking for.

COOPER : The ledger.
LIZ : Which is apparently more valuable than the millions in assets they left lying in that Vault.
RESSLER : Well, the bank can’t cooperate without implicating itself.

LIZ : We take down Monarch, we get the names of every criminal who funnels money through them.
COOPER : I’ll contact our legal attaché in Poland. I want you and Ressler on the next flight to Warsaw.
RESSLER : Yes, sir.
COOPER : Aram.

Liz to Ressler

LIZ : Everything okay?
RESSLER : Yeah, I’m fine. Just missed my train.

Liz seems not satisfied

RESSLER : What?

OUTSIDE THE POST OFFICE

Camera shutter clicking : Ressler and Liz are photographed by Samar Navabi. Engine turns over

RED'S HOTEL

RED : What is it?

It's a little box in an envelop

DEMBE : It was at the front desk.

Red opens it : it is a tooth of Naomi.

WARSAW, POLAND

SALERNO : Agent Paul Salerno.
RESSLER : Agents Ressler and Keen.
SALERNO : We’ve established joint cooperation with the locals, as well as standing extradition orders for any suspects charged, but while you are in-country, you do not have the power to make arrests, and you will, of course, be unarmed.
RESSLER : We had a thorough briefing before we left.
SALERNO : Hear you guys are part of some, uh, elite task force?
LIZ : Where’s the Vault?
SALERNO : The scene’s still being processed.
LIZ : We’re just in time, then.

MONARCH BANK, WARSAW

RESSLER : Our sources said that nothing was reported stolen.
STRICKLAND : Your sources were wrong. Matt Strickland, E.V.P. of branch operations.
LIZ : Agents Ressler and Keen, FBI. We understand you’re headquartered in Manhattan.
STRICKLAND : I flew out the minute I got the news. Our fault – snafu in corporate communications. The first press release was wrong. They got away with over $400,000 in bearer bonds. We’re releasing a corrected statement first thing in the morning.
LIZ : We need access to your data. Operating procedures, your employees.
STRICKLAND: Of course. I’ll make arrangements. Anything you need I can assure you you’ll have our complete cooperation.
SALERNO : Thank you, Mr. Strickland.
STRICKLAND : If you’ll excuse me.

To another bank administrator, speaking Polish

STRICKLAND : What are you thinking with that press release ?

ADMINISTRATOR : The important think is the formula.

STRICKLAND : The formula is the problem.The formula is missing. That means the money is missing. Clients are calling.They’re concerned. If we don’t fix this now we’re all dead.

BERLIN'S SAFE HOUSE

BERLIN : Okay. Make me one. Huh? –

ASSISTANT : Colonel Yusuf.

On phone

BERLIN : Yusuf?

ENTRANCE HALL, MONARCH BANK

LIZ : No inconsistencies in my witness statements. They hacked the system, shut it down, deleted everything back to a half-hour before they hit. What?

Ressler sees cameras outside. On phone

ARAM : Traffic-police services forwarded their feeds.
LIZ : You got picture?
ARAM : Yep. But lousy angle, though. Can’t see what went down inside. But they caught the bad guys coming in and going out. I’m mirroring the feed now. You seeing this?
LIZ : Yeah. Got it. Go.
RESSLER : We got five unsubs.
ARAM : Not so fast. Check this out.
RESSLER : Six. I got six. Is that right?
ARAM : Yep. Five went in, six came out.
LIZ : Uh, Aram, can you zoom in on number 4?
ARAM : Copy that.
LIZ : That’s a woman. She looks scared. This wasn’t a robbery. It was a kidnapping.

MONARCH BANK, WARSAW

RESSLER : There was only one employee who swiped into the Warsaw branch the day of the incident who didn’t swipe out – Kaja Tomczak.
LIZ : What can you tell us about her?
STRICKLAND : Nothing, I’m afraid. As E.V.P., I typically have little contact with branches of this size and no contact with junior account managers.
POLISH BANK ADMIN : Before robbery, she went home sick. She must have forgotten to swipe her card on way out.
SALERNO : Oh. Johnny-on-the-spot. Had that one locked and chambered, did we?
POLISH BANK ADMIN : I’m sorry I do not understand this “Johnny-on-the-spot.”
STRICKLAND : That’ll do, Kloza.

POLISH BANK ADMIN : This is your american comedy?

In Polish

STRICKLAND : Shut up!

STRICKLAND : I’m sorry, Agent Keen. Tensions are running high. We’ve never been robbed before.
LIZ : We’re gonna need a copy of Kaja Tomczak’s employee file.
STRICKLAND : Of course.

KAJA'S APARTMENT

LIZ : The apartment is owned by Monarch?
DOORMAN : Yes. This one, five, six more. Employees here on long business trips. Better than hotel.
LIZ : Did you know Miss Tomczak well?
DOORMAN : No. Was nice, very nice, but never spoke to her alone. Men are always with her.
RESSLER : Men?
DOORMAN : Walk her to the door, pick her up. Bring food, take her to work like guards. Always guards.

Cellphone rings. Answers cell

RESSLER : Ressler. Yeah. We’ll be right in.

He hangs up

RESSLER : They found the getaway van.

IN AN ALLEY

SALERNO : Unsubs tried to torch it with some kind of accelerant. Fire burned itself out.
RESSLER : They should’ve cracked a window.

On the seat

LIZ : Hey, you guys see this up here?
RESSLER : Is that blood?
LIZ : I don’t think so.

Liz smells

RESSLER : You know that’s where people sit, right?

On cell

LIZ : Smells like roses.

RED : Set a match to it See if it burns.

To Ressler

LIZ : Check if it’s flammable.
SALERNO : What? Why?
RESSLER : You got a light?

Salerno, speaking Polish, ask a policeman for a light

LIZ : Yeah. It’s flammable.
RED : Jam. From the heart of the rum-soaked, rose-petal Paczki.
LIZ : I’m sorry, I don’t know what a rum-soaked, rose –
RED : It’s a jelly doughnut.
LIZ : Lovely. Now what?
RED : Now? Nothing. Just get some rest. I’ll be there in less than three hours. Then something.

He hangs up.To Dembe

RED : The copper mine will have to wait. We’re going to Warsaw.

MONARCH BANK

On phone

STRICKLAND : Your assets are safe. It’s a minor systems problem.
BERLIN : I was told Warsaw was hit.
STRICKLAND : Completely unrelated. This is an I.T. issue that will be resolved within the next few hours.
BERLIN : I’m waiting to take possession of vital cargo that’s now sitting in a container ship just off the coast of Mogadishu. I can’t get the cargo until I have a confirmation of a wire transfer I made 36 hours ago.
STRICKLAND : And we would be more than happy to advance funds.

BERLIN : You talking about a loan?
STRICKLAND :Interest-free, of course.
BERLIN : Mr. Strickland, I think you will come to New York and I will talk to you face-to-face, you will answer all my questions to my satisfaction, all right?

On video Naomi throws his food

BERLIN'S ASSISTANT :Hey! No more food, Suka.

She hides a chicken bone

A PACZKI STORE IN WARSAW

Door opens. Door closes

APOLONIA : Raymond!
RED :Apolonia.
APOLONIA : Oh!

Big hug

APOLONIA : Oh.
RED : My darling.
APOLONIA : Ohh! And Dembe. How is my sweet, gentle boy? Oh.
RED : I’ve been dreaming of Paczki. I tried to curb my cravings in this little shop in the West Village in New York, but they fill them with prune jelly. Can you imagine?
APOLONIA : Idiota.
RED : Ahhhhh. Mmm! Tastes just like Patty Sutton. I must admit, madroja, I have ulterior motives. Little business.

In the back shop are hidden weapons

APOLONIA : Sales up, business good. I finish inventory. Then you have something nice to pick from. And maybe something for my little favorite, too.
RED : My grandmother used to keep flour in the refrigerator. Why is that?
APOLONIA : To keep the weevils out.
RED : Oh, of course Weevils. It’s come to my attention that the Monarch Douglas bank was robbed yesterday by some of your customers. And if your customers come under scrutiny, Apolonia, your business comes under scrutiny.
APOLONIA : Majboja.
RED : God can’t protect you. But I can.

LIZ : What’s the rendez vous point?
COOPER : The safe house just across the river. We’re sending you the address now. Agent Salerno’s on his way. Head toward the Vistula River.

COOPER : A Warsaw gang called the Mayerchak Group, known for armed robbery and money laundering.
LIZ : Rough trade for a bank clerk.
COOPER : Get her statement I want to know everything she knows before this extradition deal blows up.
KAJA : If the police know where I am, so does Strickland.

BERLIN'S SAFE HOUSE

STRICKLAND : We’re doing a threat assessment.
BERLIN : You money men, you love military terms. Your tactics, strategies, your campaigns and hostile takeovers, huh? Now, you promised me that this would all be resolved by now, and it isn’t.
STRICKLAND : Do you think I would have flown to New York, met with you personally if I wasn’t confident in our handling of the situation?
BERLIN : Uh-huh.
STRICKLAND : The situation is fluid. You need to be patient.
BERLIN : I like you, Mr. Strickland. I like the way you and your people do business. But I need you to understand. If you bungle this, the people I’m working with, they expect me to set an example. To peel you like a grape.
STRICKLAND : And I can assure you, as your banker, that your assets are protected by the formula.
BERLIN : Oh, yeah. The formula. Tell me How does she do it?

INTERROGATION ROOM

KAJA : It’s called hyperthymesia. Highly superior autobiographical memory
RESSLER : Like a photographic memory.
KAJA : It’s why the bank hired me so there wouldn’t be any paper trail. Pick a day: Any day, any year.
RESSLER : Um, December 21, 2001.
KAJA : It was a Tuesday. I had dry toast for breakfast, bigos for lunch. I picked up a copy of the Fakt. Two earthquakes One in Japan, Bonin Islands, another in Iran, 6.5. There was a lunar eclipse.

SALERNO : Anything interesting?
LIZ : She drained the accounts of every criminal who had money at that bank. She keeps it all in her head. That’s how the bank does it. She can give us account numbers, amounts.

Sees armed person on video feed

LIZ : Who are our friends?
SALERNO : I’m not taking any chances until she’s safely turned over to the local police.
LIZ : Out of the question. She’s coming back to the States.
SALERNO : You don’t make that call.
LIZ : Agent Harold Cooper already did. Perhaps you’d like to spe–

Salerno punches her. They begin a viscious fist fight

INTERROGATION ROOM

KAJA : A sheet of paper, I- I don’t just look at it and remember every word. I relive it the temperature of the room, the light.

LIZ : What was that back there?! You almost got me killed!
RESSLER : Sorry wasn’t expecting the mirror to explode 3 feet from my face. Guess it took me a few seconds to regroup.
LIZ : More than a few. Your reaction time was crap.
RESSLER : Bullet fragment. Must have passed through the house on our way out.

To Kaja

RESSLER : Okay, I know, I know, I know. Just stay still. Stay still.

CAB DRIVER  (Polish): You're ruining my car!

COOPER : What do you mean you’re in a stolen car?
LIZ : We had to! Salerno’s dirty. The safe house was assaulted by a TAC team. And why the hell are we being trailed by Mossad?!
COOPER : Say again?
LIZ : Samar Navabi? She took down Salerno, covered our escape. But Kaja’s been shot.
COOPER : Listen to me. You two need to ditch the car, dump your phones, and get off the grid right now.

LIZ : Cooper?
RED : Harold tells me the local police may not be your greatest ally.
LIZ : Get us out of here.
RED : I’ve reached out to an old friend for assistance. Kaspar Dubicki’s my man in Warsaw. He’s waiting for you under the Swietokrzyski Bridge 2,5 kilometres east of your current position.
LIZ : 2,5 kilometres? It is the other end of the world. There are a million dirty cops between here and there, and they’re all after her.
RED : I’ve arranged for a small diversion. Just get to Dubicki.
LIZ : Can we trust him?

KAJA : Thank you. Account number 924386. Shell company is Gonzalez Cargo.
RESSLER : What are you doing?
KAJA : Dying declaration.
RESSLER : No. You’re not dying. Not today.
KAJA : I wasn’t always a prisoner. In the beginning, the bank paid me. Gave me apartment, a car. I knew what they were doing. Terrorist cartels, organized crime. But I looked the other way. I helped them stay in business. I’m no better than they are.

Brakes squeal

LIZ : What the hell?
RESSLER : We’ve got to be 10 minutes out.

Door opens .Men shouting in Polish. Armed men enter. Ressler realizes they’re outgunned. Red enters

LIZ : What are you doing?
RED : Dubicki said the bridge was swarming with police.

Dembe picks up Kaja and carries her away

RED : We need to move quickly.
LIZ : And Kaja?
RED : Quite safe, I assure you. On her way to my Gulfstream. I’ll arrange for an onboard medic to tend to her wounds. We’ll be wheels-up in 20. I’ve also booked the two of you first-class tickets home.
RESSLER : No, you can’t take her! No! Y–
RED : Guys, guys. Enough with the pointing. Don’t worry, Donald. They won’t shoot you. But they will restrain you rigorously if necessary. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have business to attend to. Be sure they make their flight.

BERLIN : Well, well. This has been a long time coming.
RED : I hope it’s been worth it. What a terrible waste. Time, blood, money. And in the end, for what?
BERLIN : Revenge. That’s my passion.
RED : Revenge isn’t a passion it’s a disease that eats at your mind and poisons your soul.I attended summer camp with this little stick of a girl Twila Stansberry. Hell of an athlete capture the flag. Had an unrelenting passion for fitness. Never skinny enough A pound here, a pound there. Ran like a deer. Until she couldn’t could barely walk. Turns out she was anorexic. The disease caused her to lose her sight. I’ve never known anyone more obsessed with their body than Twila. Spent her entire life chasing something that destroyed her. Make sure your passion isn’t your sickness.
BERLIN : Your wife is coming apart nicely.
RED : We have a common enemy.
BERLIN : Who?
RED : Whoever told you that I killed your daughter. You are finished with my wife.
BERLIN : Think so?
RED : Yes, you are. I have something I suspect you value far more than revenge. Your money.

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION

COOPER : What you’re telling me is we have totally lost control of the situation. Reddington and the witness are gone. Berlin gone. Red’s wife gone. Can any of you tell me one thing that we’ve got going for us at this point?!
ARAM : Coffee machine still works.
RESSLER : Uh. At least it’s finally clear now who our perpetrator really is.
COOPER : Is it? Illuminate me.
RESSLER : Reddington. He’s the one who put the spotlight on Monarch Douglas. My guess is, because he had significant funds on deposit.And once he identified Kaja as their human hard drive... COOPER : ...he put us on her trail, had us deliver her into his custody. Reddington double-crossed us.
LIZ : No. He’s up to something else.
RESSLER : We need to find that girl, find out where she’s being held.
COOPER : She’s wounded. Reddington’s going to need to find her a doctor, someone he can trust.
LIZ : Rosa Heredia.
ARAM : Who?
LIZ : His manicurist.
COOPER : Manicurist?
LIZ : Well, she was trained as a surgeon.
COOPER : Of course she was. Find her now.

CONEY ISLAND

RED : I have the girl. And because I have her, I have control of all your assets at Monarch Douglas. I’ve transferred every penny into a numbered, thoroughly untraceable escrow account. You’re broke. Shh. Listen. Hear that? That’s the sound of your checks bouncing. From here to St Petersburg, from Bangkok to Mozambique. So, my proposal: your money for my wife. You can give her back and we can continue this war, or you can kill my wife and I keep your money.
BERLIN : I almost gave up looking for you. You were like a ghost for 12 years. Heard rumors. And I followed them. From Barcelona to Melbourne to Stockholm. But always nothing. Until one day I made a connection. Elizabeth Keen. That’s why we’re sitting here today. Because of Keen. I know you care for her as much as you care for your wife. I think underneath it all, under that hat of yours, you’re not much different from, uh, Twila Stansberry. You have the power to destroy me, but you’re offering me a way out because you’re blinded by passion. Guess we both are. Have your associates set up the meeting. Okay?

ROSA'S CAR

LIZ : Hey, Rosa. We know you’re treating Kaja. Where’s your patient?
ROSA : I– I don’t know.
LIZ : I came alone. I don’t want to have to call for backup.

CONEY ISLAND

Red is firing at shooting arcade. Cellphone rings. Cellphone beeps

On phone

RED : Lizzy. How was your flight?
LIZ : I know what you’re trying to pull, and it’s not gonna happen.
RED : What I’m trying to pull? Is that how we speak to each other now. As if I’m some kind of cheap, dime-store confidence man?
LIZ : Bank robber, embezzler, thief. You put us on this case so you could get to the girl so you could steal Berlin’s money.
RED : Once she left the bank, the girl was vulnerable. I simply took advantage of an opportunity.
LIZ : You’re gonna use her to get your wife back.
RED : Storybook ending.
LIZ : Not for the thousands of people who are gonna lose their lives because of his actions. This man is a psychopath! That money is going to fund terror all over the world, and I’m not gonna let that happen for the sake of one woman.
RED : You don’t have a vote.
LIZ : I found Kaja.
RED : She gave you the routing numbers.
LIZ : We froze the escrow accounts where you parked Berlin’s cash.
RED : My wife will die.
LIZ : I’m sorry.
RED : No, you’re not. Not yet. Maybe someday, if you’re very lucky, you might wonder, “at exactly what point did I become this thing?” But not now. Right now, you’re just doing your job. LIZ :Don’t go through with it. We can find another way.
RED : The deal is moving forward.
LIZ : You can’t hold up your end. He’ll kill you.
RED : Wish me luck.

Cellphone beeps

NEAR CONEY ISLAND

Vehicle doors close

RED : My wife.

Naomi comes out of Berlin's car.

To Dembe

RED : Give him the codes.

Berlin’s man checks to see that money has returned to Berlin’s accounts

Red watches as Naomi, blindfolded, is led from car. He is obviously very moved

DEMBE : Raymond.

COOPER'S OFFICE

COOPER : 6,7 million on deposit from the FBI Wichita field office. It’s linked to Agent Salerno. He was laundering money through that bank.
WRIGHT : There is no such person. The bureau uses Monarch to finance sanctioned operations, including this one. We’re funded through Monarch. You will purge all records of his role in this matter.
COOPER : You’re not protecting the bank. You’re protecting the Bureau.

RESSLER'S OFFICE

Knock on door

LIZ : I’m sorry.
RESSLER : For what?
LIZ : In the taxi in Warsaw. I came at you pretty hot.
RESSLER : Fog of battle.
LIZ : When Kaja was down, you talked her through the worst of it. We could have lost her. You did good.
RESSLER : You’re right. I was amazing.

He laughs
Liz leaves. Ressler takes Rx bottle from desk drawer

ON A BENCH IN A PARK

COOPER : This is very thorough. I don’t suppose you’d be willing to share your sources. How you came by this information?
SAMAR NAVABI : I followed leads, exploited a few hairline fractures in the wall that surrounds your operation. Most of it, I gathered myself.
COOPER : And the rest?

She smiles

COOPER : What do you want?

Smiles again

RED'S HOTEL

Door opens

LIZ : Your door was open.
RED : Yes. Thank you.
LIZ : You’re an asset I’m charged with protecting. I transferred the money to keep you safe. I was just doing my job. As far as I’m concerned, every life that that psycho takes from this point forward is on you. I hope she’s worth it.
RED : It’s funny. When I was standing there wondering if you had decided to let me die, a thought struck me. How did you know that Berlin had his money in that bank? At first, I thought it was the girl that she told you. But the accounts would be coded, moved through shell corporations. Layers of protection. And then I realized, “No. Somebody has a secret Santa. A source.” Bravo, Lizzy. When you’re ready to share, I’d love to hear.

LIZ : How do we know Kaja gave up all the accounts at Monarch?
RED : What would possibly motivate her to do otherwise?
LIZ : A new identity when this is all over. A sizeable contribution to her pension in exchange for protecting you and your friends.
RED : Lizzy, don’t be absurd. I don’t have any friends.

Door opens, closes : Liz leaves

Red's cellphone ringing

On phone

RED : Hello. How did it go?
SAMAR : I’m in. I look forward to working with you.
RED: Well, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Dembe leads Naomi to a location unknown
