If I don’t, if he goes through with it. …

About Ezra
LIZ : I told you to get rid of him.
RED : Lizzy, I’m not getting rid of him. Your safety is of great concern to me.
LIZ : Yeah, I can handle myself. I just I don’t want him watching me. What is all this?
Red repairs an old film projector but doesn't answer .Siren wails in distance
RED : There was an incident this morning in Dupont Circle. A woman was struck by a taxi ...Carrie Ann Beck.
LIZ : Maddox Beck’s wife?
RED : Yes. The leaders of The Front.
LIZ : Well, how is that possible? They died trying to bomb BP’s London Office in response to the Gulf Oil Spill.
RED : So the world believes. In truth, they took their work underground. Personally, I once admired Carrie Ann. However, since going underground, they’ve become too radical for my blood, advocates for a level of destruction that I find chilling.
LIZ : So who killed her?
RED : I believe her husband is responsible.
LIZ : I don’t understand. Weren’t they partners? Didn’t they found the Front together?
RED : Yes, but their partnership was a tenuous one. She was always the more moderate voice, only interested in operations that related directly to the environment. Beck, on the other hand, views himself as a chosen one, a messianic figure who sees humanity as a virus that needs to be eradicated in order to save the planet. I fear he got rid of his wife because she was trying to stop him from implementing a plan to do just that.
FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION
LIZ : These are the last known photographs of Maddox Beck and his wife. They’re the founders of the Front.
ARAM : 2012 Firebomb strikes a Biotechpark in Boston, conducting genomics research, causing $64 million in damage. 2013, Four staff members were killed and 16 hospitalized. Ricin was mailed to the Fairbanks BLM Office, which manages Transatlantic Pipeline.
RESSLER : Just got off with the M.E. He’ll have a tox work-up on Beck’s wife within the hour.
COOPER : We can’t assume Beck killed her just because Reddington says so. Get to the morgue. I want a cause of death.
RESSLER : Her body’s not at the morgue. She’s at City Memorial. Labor and delivery.
CITY MEMORIAL
LIZ : She was pregnant?
PATHOLOGIST : Yeah, 30 weeks. From what they can tell, the baby’s fine.
LIZ : And the mother?
PATHOLOGIST : The doctors declared her brain dead. They put her on life support until they can safely deliver the child. Most of the injuries were sustained, uh, during the accident, but she suffered some injuries beforehand, as well lacerations to the head and the hands and, um, defensive bruises on the forearms.
LIZ : Think he beat her?
PATHOLOGIST : I think she was in one hell of a fight.
RESSLER : You say in your notes – she had clay under her fingernails? –
LIZ : Clay? From where? That’s odd, isn’t it?
PATHOLOGIST : The really odd part is that the– The clay is 700 years old.
FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION
ARAM : The soil found under the nails of Carrie Ann Beck dates back to the 14th century. It’s called Raw Sienna.
COOPER : Okay, so, what’s it doing there?
ARAM : Raw Sienna was used by painters at the time, painters who belonged to what’s known as the Sienese School. The Prado in Madrid has an exhibit going on right now featuring paintings from the Sienese School. Last week, one of those paintings was stolen.
RESSLER : That’s what she and Beck were fighting over, this painting.
SAMAR ; Maybe they were trying to sell it on the black market, fund their operation.
ARAM : There were 22 paintings at the exhibit. The one that was stolen had been on loan from the Santa Caterina Church in Pisa, and it was, by far, the least valuable.
LIZ : Then why did they steal it?

LILLIAN SHARP : It’s a map.
COOPER : A map to what?
SHARP : A bedtime story. It’s a legend about the Apophis Strain, an ancient plague weaponized in the 14th century by both the Byzantines and the Ottomans that was mistakenly released and believed to be the real origin of the black death.
RESSLER : You’re talking about the Bubonic Plague.
SHARP : No Pneumonic Plague, which is airborne and far more fatal. Scientists now believe that was the plague that killed 200 million people, one of the largest pandemics in history. That’s why, to prevent Armageddon, the sworn enemies agreed to task four priests to take the strain to the end of the world.
COOPER : And this map indicates in which end of the world it’s hidden.

SHARP : Agent Cooper, you’re not taking this seriously, are you?

SHARP : You sure she can be trusted?
LIZ : I could say the same thing about you.
RED : Ladies, please. I’m surprised the two of you haven’t met at a conference or company retreat. Does the FBI do a Christmas party?
SHARP : One of the priests sent to guard the strain got sick. And to protect it, the dying man swallowed it whole, taking it to his grave. We know this because the others survived and created the map.
LIZ : And the markings? What do they mean?
SHARP : They’re archetypal alignments. When you connect them, they create lay lines linking a network of historically significant sites.
LIZ : You said the priests were sent to the end of the world. Where?
SHARP : Well, I said it was the end of the world. Not anymore. If I’m reading this correctly, the strain is buried here in America.

Liz and Ressler on phone with Aram and Samar
LIZ : Red’s source says the map points to Burial Ridge in Staten Island. It’s the largest native American burial ground in New York.
RESSLER : We’ve contacted local authorities. We’re on our way now.
ARAM : I-I don’t know how to break this to you, but, uh, Beck beat you there.
LIZ : What are you talking about?
ARAM : New York Field Office got called in on a grave robbery. According to park police, our guy, Beck, he knew exactly where to look.
LIZ : The bones contain the DNA of the plague. Once he has it, he can replicate it.
RESSLER : That’s why he took the bones.
SAMAR : No, he wanted to take them, but according to park police, whoever was buried there was moved.
ARAM : Hundreds of years ago. I’m sending you an image of what was left in its place.
LIZ : Got it.
ARAM : We think it’s a marker, some sort of addendum to the map.
SHARP : It’s Cyrillic.
ARAM : It’s ancient Cyrillic. It looks like some sort of equation. “P” equals 100. “O” that sort of looks like a ribbon equals 9. Those dash symbols in between denotes that the number to the right should be multiplied by 1,000. It totals 109,120.
SAMAR : Probably a measurement. Is there a standard form?
ARAM : Cubits. Uh, one cubit is half a yard. 109,120 cubits is 54,560 yards.
Samar gives him a look, surprise
ARAM : What? I was good at math.
LIZ : There’s another engraving here. Looks like, what, a moon?

LIZ : He threatened to release it.
SAMAR ; And now a mad man is out there with the ability to start a pandemic.
COOPER : Enough. If it’s the pneumonic plague, there are antibiotics, protocols.
SAMAR : For the strain that exists today, not the one that’s 700 years old. We have to assume that there is no cure for whatever Beck got his hands on.
COOPER : I said that’s enough.
SAMAR : This is unbelievable.

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION
On TV: «Unconfirmed reports indicate hundreds have been infected as a result of the outbreak. The Capitol and the Supreme Court have been evacuated. Metro police have quarantined a 15-block area, reaching from Constitution to Pennsylvania Avenue.»
LIZ : Patient Zero has been I.D.’d as Sharon McManus. Prelim autopsy confirms we are dealing with a genetically modified strain of pneumonic plague.
COOPER : Modified how?
LIZ : We have no idea, but it is working at an accelerated rate.
RESSLER : People in the quarantine, none of them look sick yet.
LIZ : From what the CDC can tell, the contagion works in three phases, the first of which is incubation. Right now, it is dormant in their immune systems. It is not airborne yet, but that is only going to last for the first few hours.
COOPER : Then what?
LIZ : It turns the victim symptomatic, then infectious. Based on what we can tell from the time of death and the rapid depletion of Patient Zero’s target cells, those healthy-looking people will be dead in nine hours.
COOPER : How many people are we talking about?
RESSLER : Roughly 2,300 in quarantine, sir.
COOPER : Talk to me about the treatment protocols.
SAMAR : There are none. In order to understand how the disease was altered, to find a cure, we need a sample of the original strain.
RESSLER : And Beck has the only one.
ARAM : Hey. Full ERT report on Patient Zero’s effects just came in. They found this on the victim’s shirt hair from a rodent, a rat species specifically bred for scientific purposes. Rattus norvegicus. There are only two licensed suppliers for clinical trials. And in the last month, they’ve only had one shipment that didn’t go to a university or research facility.

RED : I’m the snake in the grass. I was a big fan of yours at one time. I remember you in that little, inflatable boat in the North Sea, going up against that oil platform, huge waves tossing you up against the pilings, fire hoses and steel oil drums raining down from above. My God, it gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. Then I had the good fortune of sharing a cell in a prison outside Sochi with an associate of yours, Yevgeny Bushkin. Big bear of a man, 150 kilos on an empty belly. As I remember it, Yevgeny went on hunger strike to protest some oil pipeline that threatened a vital something-or-other. You probably remember better than I.
But the point is the old boy didn’t eat for 74 days. Imagine that. I wouldn’t have the discipline.
My weakness is sausage and peppers. But Yevgeny – He did it. Wasted away like Christ on the cross, dying for a cause. Your cause. And I remember thinking that the only men I’ve known that have people who are willing to die for their cause are either saints or megalomaniacs.And you. Are no Saint. Which is why I’m not surprised to find you and Pepper waiting out Armageddon here in Eden.You and I both know you’re not gonna die for your cause.
Dembe has antidote in vials
BECK : Put that down!
RED : You dig up a plague, hatch a plan to spread it around the world, but before you do, you synthesize a cure. For yourself and your Eve. Ironic, isn’t it. If you were half as dedicated to your cause as Yevgeny was, there would be no vaccine, I wouldn’t be here, and you and Pepper would be free to romp like bunnies until the convulsing and hemorrhaging started.
BECK : You’re wrong. My actions are about our crimes against the earth.
RED : I’ll be frank, Mr. Beck, because I’m in a bit of a hurry. I’m not here for you.
To Pepper
RED : I think you know what I’m about to ask for.
BECK : What’s he talking about?
RED : You never told him?
BECK : Told me what?
RED : Where is it?
PEPPER : Please. don’t.
BECK : Never told me what?
RED : We don’t have much time.
She glances at bottle hanging from tree. Red takes skeleton key from bottle,
Laughs. Sirens wailing in distance
RED :Ah. My business is finished here. I’ll leave the two of you. I’m sure you have plenty to discuss.
Wailing continues. Beeping
