Épisode Le décembriste S02E08 - The Blacklist Saison 2

En quelques minutes, nous avons un flashback de tout ce qui s'est passé entre Liz et Tom ses quatre derniers mois, depuis le jour où elle lui a tiré dessus ... et lui a sauvé la vie. Lorsque Red s’en va, Liz appelle le Samoan et cache Tom sous surveillance sur un navire où elle organise des soins médicaux d'urgence. Ce qui suit, est une série d'interrogations sur Berlin. Tom lui donne quelques informations sans grande importance sur Monarch Douglas Bank mais rien sur Red. À la fin, le couple se querelle à propos de l'adoption et de leur mariage. Tom n’a-t-il jamais aimé Liz ? Lorsque Liz se moque, Tom la supplie de le laisser partir, bien qu'il croit qu'elle n'a pas l'intention de le faire. Tout ce qu’il demande maintenant, c’est qu’elle le regarde dans les yeux quand elle le tuera.

Nous retrouvons Red et Berlin dans le garage industriel où nous les avons laissés ; Berlin est encore sous le choc d’avoir appris que sa fille est vivante. Zoe a dit à Red que le vrai nom de Berlin est Milos Kirchhoff mais ce que Red veut savoir, c’est qui les a montés l'un contre l'autre. Berlin se rappelle l'attentat Koursk en 1991, qui a éliminé la faction de résistance russe dont Berlin faisait partie et on a considéré Reddington responsable d’avoir exposé Zoe comme un dissident. Après cela, la loyauté de Berlin a été mise en doute et il a été exilé au goulag. Red demande à Zoe qui l'a aidée à entrer dans la clandestinité. Zoe n'a jamais rencontré l'homme, tout ce qu'elle sait, c’est qu'il se fait appel Le Decembrist. Red donne un téléphone à Berlin en l’avertissant qu’il peut appeler pour lui demander son aide bientôt.

Le Samoan avertit Liz que Tom ne peut pas quitter le bateau vivant. Lorsqu'un gardien du port monte, Liz le confronte à son arme et son insigne, affirmant qu'il y a un fugitif échappé. Elle verrouille le bateau en bas. Satisfait, le gardien s’éloigne et le téléphone de Liz sonne pour la convoquer à une réunion avec Red, qui préside l’interrogation de Brimley. Liz est furieuse d'apprendre qu'il travaille avec Berlin surtout quand Red affirme que Berlin est simplement le pion du Decembrist. Liz prend les infos que Red lui donne et part au FBI. Aram découvre un échantillon d'ADN de l'attentat Koursk dans la base de données du FBI et identifie Kiryl Morozov, l'un des hommes les plus puissants en Russie. Pendant ce temps, le gardien est revenu sur navire de Liz et il ouvre la porte de la cellule de Tom.

Reven Wright vérifie avec l’équipe du bureau de poste pour une mise à jour sur Kiryl Morozov qui est en fin de compte, l’homme responsable de la mort de Meera et l’invalidité de Cooper. En termes non équivoques, Wright dit à l’équipe de se retirer et de ne pas aller en Russie. Liz ne peut pas croire que Cooper soit prêt à accepter l’ordre de Wright  mais il sait que Red obtiendra l’identité du Decembrist d'une façon ou d’une autre. Liz est en train de téléphoner à Red pour lui donner le vrai nom du Decembrist quand elle reçoit un appel du Samoan. Elle se précipite sur le bateau pour découvrir le gardien ensanglanté et attaché. Le téléphone du gardien sonne. Alors que Liz et le Samoan se disputent sur ce qu’il faut faire ensuite,Tom passe à l’action en utilisant la chaine de sa cheville pour étrangler le gardien et il conseille ensuite à Liz d’appeler Mr Kaplan.

Red et Berlin partent en mission à Moscou pour trouver Kiryl Morozov. Se servant des émotions de Berlin, Red expose son plan pour intercepter Morozov lors d'une transaction de diamants qui va vite arriver. Berlin assure à Red que ses hommes seront prêts et en fait, ils abattent tous les hommes de Morozov dans un bâtiment. Lorsque Berlin coince Morozov, ce dernier nomme Alan Fitch comme le Decembrist juste avant que Berlin ne lui mette une balle dans la tête. Dans les airs, Red appelle Fitch pour le prévenir de la mort de Morozov tandis que Wright explique à l’équipe du bureau de poste, l'acte anti-émeute pour compromettre Fitch qui est en fait le directeur adjoint du renseignement national ! Liz dit à Wright que Red a appelé, inquiet pour la vie de Fitch, mais Wright dit que c’est hors de leur juridiction.

Red confronte Fitch pour avoir monté Berlin contre lui. Apparemment Fitch était le sauveur de Zoe, louant Le Stewmaker pour truquer sa mort dans la violation de son accord initial avec Red. Fitch fait valoir que Red a volé un élément précieux quand il a disparu alors que lui  a tenu en laisse les chiens envoyer après Red. Lorsque Red avertit que Berlin vient, Fitch affirme que Red n’a pas d’amis et qu’ils ont tous deux un intérêt dans l'élimination de Berlin. Fitch est tiré de la réunion par une équipe du SWAT, qui le conduit, lui et son assistant dans un 4x4 ... où, un instant plus tard, l'assistant de Fitch est abattu. Qui n'a plus d'amis maintenant ?

L'équipe bureau de poste se démène pour localiser Fitch lorsque Red arrive, demandant à parler à Liz. Il est déçu qu'elle ne lui ait pas dit que Tom était vivant et qu'elle l'aime toujours. Liz insiste, elle utilise Tom comme une source. Maintenant que Berlin est allé sur le terrain, Red veut que Liz découvre toutes les maisons sûres de Berlin que Tom connaît, afin qu'ils puissent trouver Alan Fitch.

Tom est seulement intéressé par ce qu’il a à gagner. Il va donner Berlin à Liz, mais seulement si elle le laisse s'en aller. Tom fait un appel d’une cabine téléphonique, pendant que Liz et Ressler le regardent d’une voiture. Quand Berlin rappelle, Tom a une affaire : il connaît tout ce que le FBI sait. Tom donne à Liz une adresse et donc elle lui enlève son bracelet de traçage mais avant qu’il parte, Ressler lui promet qu’il reviendra pour lui. Une équipe du TAC va à l’adresse et ils trouvent Fitch installé sur une chaise, avec une bombe sophistiquée autour du cou. Toutes les équipes du FBI doivent escorter le transport de Fitch à la cellule du bureau de poste où le Red a été enfermé.

Cooper s’attend à ce que Wright soit en colère mais elle est heureuse et exige toujours le nom de la source anonyme. Ressler est furieux que Red ait pris des dispositions pour réunir Berlin et Zoe. Après que Berlin ait dit au revoir à sa fille, Red remet des papiers avec une nouvelle identité à Zoe et elle part. Red tourne son attention vers Berlin, exigeant de savoir comment stopper la bombe autour du cou de Fitch. Berlin n'en a aucune idée. Red retourne à son ancienne cellule du bureau de poste pour voir Fitch. Les vieux amis ont quelques derniers moments, chargés avec des noms et des numéros, avant que Fitch ne meurt.

Red et Berlin boivent une bouteille de vodka en évoquant des souvenirs avant que Red ne tue froidement Berlin de quatre balles dans le cœur. On voit Liz nettoyer la cellule de Tom, Red fait remarquer son dégoût de la saleté de tout cela. Liz admet qu'elle ne lui dit pas à propos de Tom parce qu'elle pensait qu'elle contrôlerait la situation.   Qu’est-ce qui ne va pas avec elle ?  Red la rassure, il n’y a rien de mal chez elle : aimer signifie ne jamais avoir de contrôle. Red met Liz dans une voiture puis il rencontre Tom dans un restaurant et lui donne une enveloppe remplie d'argent mais Tom ne doit jamais, jamais revoir Liz. Arcant son sourcil, Tom s’en va mais pas avant d'avoir assuré à Red que, même après quatre mois sur le bateau, il n'a jamais parlé à Liz de leurs relations.

NOWADAYS  / BOAT

ALEKO : You’re a fed.
LIZ : And he is responsible for Meera’s death. You were her C.I., and you told me – that if I found the man responsible –
ALEKO : I thought you were gonna arrest him.
LIZ : I will. I just need you to babysit for a little while until I get some info.

A cell in the boat where Tom is locked. Liz questions Tom

Day #2

LIZ : Let’s get this straight. I did not save you because I care. I saved you because you have intel on Berlin. I want a name.
TOM : Oh, you bitch.
LIZ : Oh, I don’t know, Tom. From where I’m sitting, you look like the bitch to me.

Day #4

LIZ : Why you? Have you spied on others? Is this what you do?
TOM : Yes. No. I don’t remember.
LIZ : I want a name. What bank?
TOM : Monarch Douglas in Warsaw. It’s where Berlin keeps his money.
LIZ : What about accounts, names of shell companies?

Day #11

LIZ : Did you murder Jolene Parker?

Liz questions Tom, again...

LIZ : What do you know about Reddington?
TOM : I don’t know.
LIZ : What do you know about Reddington?
TOM : I told you I don’t know!
LIZ : What do you know about Reddington?!
TOM : Stop asking me! I don’t know!

Day #22

TOM : When is this all over, when you are convinced that I have nothing left to offer, what then?
LIZ : I asked you a question: Gina Zanetakos!
TOM : Because you know when this is over, you’re gonna have to kill me, right?

Liz still questions Tom

LIZ : How often did you communicate with Berlin, his associates?

Again...

LIZ : Tell me about the guests at our wedding.

Another Day

LIZ : If you want Ellie to look at that infection, you’re gonna have to answer my question.
TOM : I need a doctor!
LIZ : I need a name!

Day #77

LIZ : What about the adoption?
TOM : We were married. Isn’t that what married people do?

Liz questions Tom

TOM : You know, all this time, you never asked me if I ever really loved you.
LIZ : Because I know the answer.
TOM : I don’t think you do.

Again...

TOM : You told me if I gave you Berlin that you would let me go. But I knew the second that you brought me down here that you had no intention of letting me leave. So here’s the deal, Liz. You’re gonna do whatever you’re gonna do. You always have. Just do me one favor. Look me in the eyes when you do it.

A WAREHOUSE

Where Red, Berlin and Zoë meet

RED : Your daughter told me your name is Milosz Kirchhoff. All these years, Mr. Kirchhoff, you’ve believed with the blackest of hearts that I murdered your daughter. And yet here she is. The story was wrong, Milosz. Please enlighten me. What were you told and who did the telling?
BERLIN/KIRCHHOFF : It was in ’91. The Soviet union was falling apart. A small group of us. Members of the Politburo, the military, KGB, Stasi. Had a plan to push back the progressives, to stem the tide. We were meeting and discussing strategy when a bomb...
RED : The Kursk Bombing.
BERLIN : Fifteen men were killed. And with them, our resistance. Rumors began that the Americans were involved. One name emerged. Yours. You came after my daughter. You exposed her as a dissident. She went to jail. After that, my loyalty was questioned. I was exiled to the Gulag, where, one by one, her bones were sent to me.

Red, looking at Zoë

RED : You fled. You must have had help. Who?
ZOE : There was a man. He said he could protect me from. From you.
RED : What was his name?
ZOE : I never met him. I don’t know. His people, they called him “The Decembrist.” Please. That’s all I know.

Zoë to Berlin

ZOE : You killed my friends. You destroyed my life once. Isn’t that enough?

She leaves. Red to Berlin, giving him a phone

RED : At some point, I may call, ask for your assistance.
BERLIN : About what?
RED : The Decembrist.

BOAT

ALEKO : We can’t let him walk out of here.
LIZ : We agreed when this was over, I’d arrest him.
ALEKO : That was four months ago. If you turn him in now, you’re gonna go to jail. We both will.
LIZ : I am not a murderer.
ALEKO : Neither am I. Look, you don’t have to be the one to do it. There are people. But he can’t walk out of here alive.

Rustling outside

LIZ : Close that door. Keep him quiet.

On deck

Liz points her gun on a man

HARBOMASTER : Whoa! Easy! Harbormaster. Put the gun down.
LIZ : All right. I’m gonna need to see some kind of I.D.
HARBOMASTER : Put the gun down! We got a call. Reports that someone’s been trespassing.
LIZ : Yeah. That’s why I’m here. FBI. We’re searching for two fugitives escaped from Cumberland last night. I cleared the boat, but they’re said to be in the area and armed.
HARBOMASTER : My office wasn’t contacted.
LIZ : Bureau would have reached out, but Homeland’s running point. Go figure. If you do see anything –
HARBOMASTER : Be careful.
LIZ : Yeah, you, too.

Cellphone buzzes. Beep

LIZ : Dembe. Where is he?

A BUILDING

Heavy-metal music plays in an apartment

In the corridor

LIZ : You’re working with Berlin?
RED : I need to talk to you about a bombing in the Soviet union Kursk, 1991.

Suddenly, Brimley goes out of the apartment

Music continues

BRIMLEY : Fella won’t talk!
RED : Keep pushing him.
BRIMLEY : I’m telling you! He’s more scared of talking than he is of dying!
RED : Keep pushing.
BRIMLEY : I’m gonna need lunch! Tuna on Rye! Coleslaw if they have it!

Brimley returns to the apartment

LIZ : What the hell is going on?!
RED : We’re shaking a few trees. There’s been a development. It seems Berlin is merely a pawn who’s been tragically manipulated.
LIZ : Manipulated by who?
RED : That’s what Brimley’s trying to ascertain.
LIZ : Berlin killed Meera, he put Tom in my life, and every time you have a chance to stop him, you let him go.
RED : Berlin will be held accountable for his actions after I acquire the name of the man who set him against me, a man they call The Decembrist. If you want to find the one ultimately responsible for gutting Harold Cooper and killing Meera Malik, I suggest you help me find him.

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION

LIZ : The man we’re looking for is known as The Decembrist. His acts are said to have contributed to the end of communism in Eastern Europe.
SAMAR : How is he connected to Berlin?
LIZ : He tried to assassinate him during a meeting in Kursk and faked his daughter’s death.
RESSLER : Berlin’s been hunting Reddington, hunting us, and now Reddington wants to help Berlin get revenge?
COOPER : Kursk – that bombing. The men who were killed that day were leaders of the Soviet Old Guard.
RESSLER : You really think we should be helping these two settle scores?
COOPER : Our goal is to take down Berlin. If that means solving a terrorism case along the way, I’m fine with that.
ARAM : I’ll contact the FSB.
COOPER : They won’t help. The bombing was considered an act of patriotism. That’s why they never pursued it. Pull the Russian reports, the crime-lab data. I want our own analysis.

BOAT

Harbormaster descends stairs of boat

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION

COOPER : They have the bomber’s DNA?
ARAM : Yes. The Russian crime lab reported finding epithelial cells on the lip of a coffee tin found in the debris.
SAMAR : How do you know it was the bomber’s DNA? Didn’t anyone else like coffee?
ARAM : Uh, the reports I.D.’d the explosive device as Semtex. Same explosives a bomber used to down Pan Am 103 by hiding the explosives
LIZ : In a coffee tin. Our guy copied that?
COOPER : They have a name?
ARAM : Only a DNA profile, which was useless 20 years ago before they had a database to run it against. But today.
LIZ : You found The Decembrist.
COOPER : Kiryl Morozov. He was a low-level KGB operative.
SAMAR : And today?
COOPER : One of the most powerful men in Russia.

BOAT

TOM : Hey! Someone there?

Door rattling

TOM : Okay.

Harbormaster pries open door

TOM : Oh, thank God. Please.

COOPER'S OFFICE

WRIGHT: Kiryl Morozov is one of Putin’s most trusted advisers. The man runs the finance ministry.
COOPER : And we have reason to believe he’s responsible for the 1991 bombing in Kursk that left –
WRIGHT : Twelve people dead in Russia.The FBI investigates crimes that happen in America or against Americans.
LIZ : Reddington won't give us Berlin until we give him Morozov. At the very least, we should go there and question the man.
WRIGHT : I'm not sending you to Moscow to interrogate a high-ranking Russian official about an act of terror he may or may not have committed 25 years ago.
COOPER : If Reddington gets to Morozov first. God knows –
WRIGHT : Harold, that's an order.

Door opens, Wright leaves

LIZ : That's it? You're just gonna stand down on this?
COOPER : You heard her. My hands are tied. But Reddington has anonymous sources. I'm sure he'll get that name somehow. Won't he, Agent Keen?
LIZ :Yes, sir. I'm sure he will.

Cellphone rings. Red answers

RED : Tell me you have a name.
LIZ : I do, but this can’t come back on the task force. Are we clear?

Beep : another call coming in.

LIZ : Hold on. I’ll be right back.

Liz answers the second call

LIZ : What? Everything okay?

Aleko on phone

ALEKO : No, everything’s not okay. We got a situation here.

Liz to Red

LIZ : Uh, hey. I’m sorry. I got to go.
RED : Lizzy, what’s going on?
LIZ : The Decembrist. His real name is Kiryl Morozov.
RED : Something’s wrong.
LIZ :Kiryl Morozov.

LOCATION UNKNOWN

Red meets Berlin

RED : I got a name.
BERLIN : So it’s done?
RED : No.
BERLIN : What are you proposing?

RED : A trip to Moscow

BOAT

Harbomaster is tied

ALEKO : I went out for a smoke, and he was here.
LIZ : What the hell?!
ALEKO : Homeboy had a gun.
LIZ : Are you out of your mind?!

Cellphone ringing

ALEKO : It was him or me.
LIZ : He’s got blood on him. What did you do? How are we supposed to –

Harbormaster 's phone beeping

TOM : If he doesn’t answer that, someone is gonna come looking for him.
LIZ : Okay. Here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna let him go. We’re gonna move Tom.
ALEKO : Let him go? He’s gonna talk.
LIZ : So let him talk. He says anything, it’s his word against mine. And he’s an informant.
HARBOMASTER : Look, lady. This is obviously official business. I can look the other way.
TOM : You got to kill him.
HARBOMASTER : No! Please! Listen. Listen.
TOM : Look, if you let this guy go, he’s going to the cops. When he does, we are all going to jail, starting with you...

Tom to Liz

TOM : ...for torture, kidnapping, wrongful imprisonment – Take your pick, sweetheart. You got to kill him.
LIZ : No. I can fix this. I have a storage unit. We’ll wait till it gets dark. We’ll keep him here temporarily until we can find ano – no!

Tom leaps on guy, strangling him with his chains. Man gaggin. Liz tries to stop Tom but Aleko prevents her from moving

ALEKO : It’s better this way. Let him do it!
LIZ : Get off me! Get your hands off me!

Gagging

LIZ : Tom, no! Tom, stop!

Gunshot – Liz shoots Aleko in foot

ALEKO : Aah!
LIZ : Next one goes in your chest! Tom, let him go!

The harbomaster falls on the ground : he is dead

TOM : I think maybe you should call Mr. Kaplan.

MOSCOW, RUSSIA

Kiryl Morozov enters in a car

RED'S PLANE

Red to Berlin

RED : Kiryl Morozov is paranoid and well-protected. He has no clear weakness for women or drink. However, like any politician, he does have an unending need to hide his ill-gotten gains.

BERLIN : The diamonds.

RED : Which he buys and sells through your broker at Mercury City Tower in Moscow. There was a friendly and rather convenient diamond heist this morning. When Morozov learns the broker has been hit, he’ll insist on a meeting to assess his exposure. When he does, we’ll be there waiting. Milosz, focus.
BERLIN : I’ve made Morozov millions, and he’s the one who set all this in motion?
RED : Milosz, the meeting at Mercury Tower. When it happens, it’ll happen fast before the M.U.R. arrives.
BERLIN : My people will be ready.

MERCURY TOWER, MOSCOW

Gunfire.Elevator bell dings

Berlin to Morozo

BERLIN : I am retribution!
MOROZOV : I don’t know what you’re talking about.
BERLIN : Kursk.
MOROZOV : Milosz?
BERLIN : The bombing, my daughter – all of it brings us here.
MOROZOV : I did what I was told. Aah!
RED : You’re not The Decembrist.
MOROZOV : It was the American. It was him. Aah! They gave the order!
RED : What people?
MOROZOV : I can’t say. Aah!
RED : Who is The Decembrist?
MOROZOV : Fitch. His name is Alan Fitch.

Gunshot

RED : Milos, this you cannot do.
BERLIN : Give me one reason.
RED : Because he’s mine.
BERLIN : Yours? He gave the orders, discredited you, and you want to protect him?
RED : This is not for you to do.
BERLIN : But I will. Alan Fitch is dead.

To Dembe

RED : Call The Florist.

A MEETING, LOCATION UNKNOWN

MAN : The joint chiefs want another forward base. That will only happen if we can convince Islamabad, which is unlikely. It will happen if we tether it to foreign military investment. Alan? Sir, will you make the call?

Man with bouquet appears; Fitch exits abruptly

LOUNGE BAR

FITCH : A little early in the day, don’t you think, Ray?
RED : I’m still on Moscow time. Just got back from calling on an old friend of yours, Kiryl Morozov.
FITCH : You met with the Russian finance minister? To what end?
RED : To his end, as it turned out. Drink?

COOPER'S OFFICE

WRIGHT : The finance minister of Russia is dead. If a single word. A whisper of this gets out, if anyone even suspects we sanctioned it –
COOPER : I didn’t sanction anything.
WRIGHT : Damn it, Harold. Your team discovers Morozov was behind the Kursk bombing, and 18 hours later, he’s dead? Reddington is behind this!
LIZ : Reddington called an hour ago. He believes Alan Fitch’s life is in danger.
WRIGHT : Did Reddington bother to tell you why Berlin is suddenly interested in killing Alan Fitch?
LIZ : He believes he’s the one who orchestrated the Kursk bombing.
WRIGHT : Are you accusing the Assistant Director of National Intelligence of being a terrorist?
COOPER : We need to bring him in.
WRIGHT : Alan Fitch is not your concern. I’ll contact the Secretary of Homeland Security and have the situation handled.

LOUNGE BAR

FITCH : Ray, will you listen?
RED : We had an agreement.
FITCH : Yes.
RED : I don’t go after you, you don’t come after me.
FITCH : I know the terms, Ray. But Berlin preceded that.
RED : You ordered the bombing in Kursk. Then you pinned it on me. You blamed me for killing his daughter. Some years ago, a copy of this photo was left on the corpse of an associate of mine. Taking it as a warning, I traced the girl to a man they call The Stewmaker. He told me a story about the girl. She was sent to him by a man she’d never met. She was in trouble, needed to disappear, so he took her photo, put it in a locket, and sent it to her father. All those years spent searching for the man who supposedly murdered his daughter, and it was you. You sat here in this very room and pretended you had no idea who Berlin was or why he was coming for me. He was coming, Alan, because you sent him.
FITCH : I sent a lot of guys. You and I were not on the best of terms at the time. And since you’re playing the innocent victim in all this, let me remind you. You stole some very damaging information about us when you disappeared.
RED : You violated our agreement.
FITCH : No. I honored it. I got the others to hold off, but Milosz Kirchhoff, Berlin, whatever the hell name he’s using. He chewed through the leash. I couldn’t stop him.
RED : Well, now your dog is tracking a new scent. Yours. And there’s nothing I can do about that, Alan. I have my people looking for him, but Berlin has gone into the wind. And he’s coming for you.
FITCH : You have no allies in my group. Without me to protect you, they’ll take you down and they’ll let the chips fall where they may. So this is as much your problem as it is mine.

AN OFFICIAL BUILDING

MAN : Sir, ODNI has credible intel that there might be an attempt on your life.
FITCH : What did they say?
MAN : Still waiting to hear. They want to move you to fort McNair to do a full briefing.

An official car arrives

MAN : Deputy Fitch, Homeland Security. We need you to come with us.
DRIVER : Guardian’s en route. Delivery on schedule. Our office has notified the University

Gunshot. Fitch is abducted by a man who speaks Russian

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION

COOPER : Contact the D.C. field office. Get me an update on any eyewitnesses, satellite footage.
Alan Fitch’s abduction must be on Mossad’s radar. Reach out to your people in Tel Aviv. And you talk to him.

Red arrives, angry

RED : Elizabeth, we need to talk. Now.

LIZ'S OFFICE

RED : Tom.
LIZ : What?
RED : You told me Tom is dead. He’s not.
LIZ : Who told you he’s alive?

RED : I’m disappointed you haven’t felt that you could trust me enough to tell me this.

Liz sighs

LIZ : Look, okay, I lied. But I only kept it a secret because I know you want him dead.
RED : No, you kept it a secret because you didn’t want to admit to yourself that you still love him, that even after everything he has done, after how horribly he treated you, you still can’t let him go. So you’re playing house.
LIZ : I’ve been using him as a source, and he’s been incredibly valuable.
RED : Normally, any intelligence you could gather from Tom Keen would be yesterday’s news, but Berlin has gone to ground and is likely dependent on former assets he used when your husband was in his employ. So it seems Tom may be of some value after all. I need to know everything he can tell you about Berlin’s former safe houses, former contacts. All that matters is finding Alan Fitch.

BOAT

Door opens and closes

LIZ : This ends now.

TOM : I already gave you Berlin. I told you where to find him.
LIZ : Yes. And he disappeared.
TOM : I did everything I could from in here.
LIZ : Forget it. I already told you.

TOM : And I told you it’s the only way.

Harbomaster's cellphone ringing

TOM : Take a look, Liz. This is a problem. And time is not on your side.

Ringing stops

LIZ : I need information, not advice.
TOM : We both know that you are in over your head. You are not equipped for this, Liz, because you are not a killer. It’s why I’m still alive and why you’ve got a corpse lying there that you have done nothing with. And your bodyguard, the one that you shot. Where do you think he is right now? He’s getting a gun, Liz, so he can come back here and kill me and then probably kill you, too. Now, I told you there is a way out of this. I can give you Berlin, and all you have to do is let me go.

Cellphone rings again

TOM : Gosh, he’s a popular guy. I bet somebody’s gonna miss him.

Ringing stops

LIZ : Berlin.

Tom shows her his chains so that she can remove them

OUTSIDE. IN A STREET

At payphone

WOMAN : Orenburg six.
TOM : Scorpio.
WOMAN : That function is no longer valid.
TOM : Wait, wait, listen. Tell him Tom Keen wants to talk.

He hangs up, waiting for Berlin's call

Liz in cop car with Ressler, watching Tom

RESSLER : Liz, why would you do this? I mean, you’re risking everything.
LIZ : To find Berlin.
RESSLER : You’re a federal agent harboring a fugitive. I mean, worse than that. You’re keeping him captive.
LIZ : 500 cops are looking for Fitch. We’re looking for Fitch right now, and we’re gonna find him because of this.

Tom's cellphone rings, he answers

BERLIN : I thought you were dead.
TOM : I need you to bring me in.
BERLIN : No.
TOM : Listen to me. I can help you.
BERLIN : Well, time has passed. Plans have changed.
TOM : I know you have Fitch. I know everything they know about you and your operation, and you’re gonna want to hear it, but I’m not telling you anything until you bring me in.

In the car

RESSLER : Whether he leads us to Fitch or not, I got to take him in. Are you hearing me? You had to know when you told me that this is where it was gonna go. I – Liz, I can’t be part of this.
LIZ : He’s an informant, like Reddington.
RESSLER : The difference is you’re not in love with Reddington.

Tom returns to the car

TOM : I got an address.
LIZ : Where?
RESSLER : Where? What difference does it make where? What? You’re gonna follow his lead to someplace Berlin is hidding. No, 50 guys would be waiting.

TOM : That's stupid.

RESSLER : Hey, shut up. I wasn’t asking you.

TOM : You want Berlin or not?
RESSLER : There’s no way I’m gonna let you go in there. This is a setup, an ambush.
TOM : What are you, her boyfriend?
LIZ : Hey!

Outside the car, Ressler shoves him and Tom shoves him back. Gun cocks : Liz points her gun

LIZ : What address?

Liz releases Tom and he gives her the address

TOM : 3952 Spalding Street, apartment 24.
RESSLER : Hey, pal. I’m coming for you.

Tom walking off

TOM : Good luck with that.

BERLIN'S SAFE HOUSE

Man speaking Russian in distance. Explosion.Gunfire. Fitch is here, hands tied

FITCH : I think we have a problem.

He has a bomb around the neck

SOLDIER : Clear it out. Let’s go. Clear out. Clear out.

From the outside Ressler and Liz observes Fitch and the bomb with a robot

CAPTAIN : Looks like we’re dealing with a plastic explosive C4, approximately 2 kilos. Sir, the blasting cap’s wired to a receiver. We found our detonator. This thing can be detonated remotely. We need to jam the frequencies in case this nut job tries to set it off and blow us to hell.
RESSLER : Then you’re gonna disarm it?
CAPTAIN : We have a vehicle for controlled detonation. It should be big enough to accommodate Mr. Fitch and one of my men. Once he’s contained, then we can attempt to disassemble and disarm the device.
RESSLER : Well, how long is that thing gonna take to get here?
CAPTAIN : Half-hour minimum, unless you’ve got another R.F.-resistant armored box that fits two.
LIZ : Actually, I think it fits four.

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION

Whirring, alarm sounding: Fitch is moved cautiously into orange containment box. Blaring stops

CAPTAIN : We managed to gain access to the internals, trying to circumvent the keypad. Here’s what we got so far. The Semtex runs along the circumference of the collar, as you can see. Encased within that, approximately 14 inches of solid core wire connected to a microprocessor which, among other things, creates a closed circuit.
ARAM : So if you cut the collar off, you interrupt the circuit and bang?
COOPER : Then how do we disable it?
CAPTAIN : Cautiously. We need to chip through the Semtex to see exactly what’s underneath, make sure there aren’t any redundant circuits or backups.
COOPER : And you can do that without triggering that thing?
CAPTAIN : We’ll find out, won’t we?

Wright arrives at the Post-Office

COOPER : Look, I know I disobeyed a direct –
WRIGHT : You found him. That’s all that matters. Fill me in.

LIZ'S OFFICE

RESSLER : Well played, Keen. I mean, look at it. Berlin’s gone. Tom’s free.
LIZ : He brought us Fitch.
RESSLER : Berlin handed us Fitch on a silver platter after he had a bomb strapped to his neck.
Look, I’ve been thinking about what I said in the car, and –
LIZ : Don’t worry about it, Ressler. I’ll tell Cooper.

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION

WRIGHT : I understand you’re responsible for finding Fitch. About the source –
LIZ : Yes.
RIGHT : Does he have information about Berlin?
LIZ : Yes, we believe he does.
WRIGHT : I don’t care if your source is confidential or what promises you’ve made him. I want him here, I want him interrogated, and I want his name.
RESSLER : You must be kidding.
WRIGHT : Do I sound like I’m kidding?

Liz is about to speak to name Tom will incriminate her

RESSLER : It’s Reddington. Her source is Reddington.

ZOE'S CAR

Red gets in car, surprising Zoë

RED : Please excuse my intrusion. I’m curious. Your father I assume he’s been trying to reach you… Has he called?… I thought as much.

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION

Into orange containment box

BOMB TECH : Sir, the device has a secondary detonator built in as a safeguard.
CAPTAIN : What kind of safeguard?
BOMB TECH : A timer. We think it was activated when the receiver broke radio contact.
CAPTAIN : How long do you have?
BOMB TECH : It’s unclear. We can see the timing circuit, but there’s no display. It could be a minute. It could be an hour.

A RESTAURANT

BERLIN : You’re not hungry?
ZOE : It’s fine.
BERLIN : Let’s get you something else.
ZOE : Huh?
BERLIN : Whatever you like.

Zoë looks at Berlin's guards

BERLIN : I can tell them to go.

ZOE : No. I’m the one who should go. I –
BERLIN : No, no. They make you uncomfortable, eh?

Guards go away

BERLIN : I’m glad you called. You’re scared. I am, too. I don’t know how to talk to someone... like you.
ZOE : I really should go.
BERLIN : No. Please don’t. I know you have your life. I have no place there. I know. But I just want you to stay a little longer.

Red enters, grabs chair, sits down, says to Berlin

RED: Hello, Milosz.

Red to Zoë

RED : Thank you, my dear. Passports, tickets, – and my eternal gratitude.

She leaves. Red to Berlin, pointing a gun

RED: The bomb. I need to know how to stop the bomb.
BERLIN : I don’t know.

Red pulls gun

RED : That’s the wrong answer.
BERLIN : I’m telling you I don’t –

Gun to cheek

RED: Think harder.

FBI SPECIAL OPS DIVISION

Into orange containment box

FITCH : What’s your name, son?
BOMB SQUAD TECH/MIKE : What?
FITCH : Your name. What– what is it?
MIKE : Sir, I need you to be as still as possible. Any movement, the vibrations of your voice…
FITCH : Do you have a wife, kids? That’s what makes it the hardest. A wife and kids. I’ve been in the intelligence field a long time now. On my orders, 763 men and women have died in service to their country. And there wasn’t a grieving wife or mother or husband I didn’t either call or visit personally. Thank them for their sacrifice. That’s what makes it the hardest. The families… You can’t disarm it, can you?
MIKE : Sir, I asked you to be as still as possible.
FITCH :763. That’s more than enough. I’m not gonna make it 764. What’s your name?
MIKE : Mike. My name’s Mike.
FITCH : Go home, Mike. You’ve done everything you can.

Containment door opens : Whirring, alarm sounding. Blaring stops

FITCH : Harold, I know you’re listening. Tell Ray I need to see him.

Footsteps approaching, in the dark

RED : What a long, strange trip it’s been, Alan.
FITCH : Listen to me, Ray. I don’t know how much time we have, so you need to pay attention.
I’ve been able to hold everyone off, convince them that it’s in their best interests to let you live. But people aren’t as scared as they once were. Some aren’t so sure you even have it. Do you have it, Ray? Do you have the Fulcrum? They’re gonna demand proof.

Red pained

RED : I can’t stop this thing, Alan. I tried. I can’t.
FITCH : My death will trigger a series of events. The moderates are already outnumbered. The closer we get to 2017, the more radicalized they’ll become. Talk to Mitchum and Hobbs. They might be persuaded. Jasper sides with the Chinese.

The bomb makes small noises

FITCH : Listen to me, Ray. This is critical. I have a safe. Get to it. The combination 8-30-44. Remember that. Say it back.
RED : 8-30-44
FITCH : 8-30-44. Margaret’s birthday.
RED : You’ve had a wonderful life together, Alan…

FITCH : 51 years last month.

RED : The safe…
FITCH : Yeah. The safe. It’s in St. Petersburg in the wall on the second floor of –

The explosion kills Fitch

RED'S SAFE HOUSE

Berlin is tied. Red to his man

RED : Untie him.

Dembe gives him a bottle of vodka

RED : Ah. Thank you.

Red opens it and serves two glasses. One for him,, one for Berlin

RED : Na zdorov’e.
BERLIN : Na zdorov’e… I remember the parades from when I was a young boy, standing by my father, seeing those trucks that went by with the rockets and cannons. Beautiful.

Chuckles. Sighs

BERLIN : And all those men marching as one, saluting at me as one. Our soldiers, our nation. Yuri Gargarin was the first man in space.

Both chuckle

BERLIN : We were so proud.

Red pours him the final draft of vodka. After he drinks it, they look at each other. Red draws his pistol and shoots Berlin four times.

BOAT

Liz comes to clean the blood but Red waits for her : she is surprise

RED : Your gentleman friend with the earring said he moved the body. Mr. Kaplan is with him now. We’re trying to contain the situation. You should have come to me.
LIZ : I didn’t need to.
RED : Look around you, Lizzy!
LIZ : We found Fitch because of Tom.
RED : It wasn’t worth it. Not if the cost was you, here in this...filth.

Liz sighs

LIZ : I couldn’t do it. I told you I could kill Tom, but after you left, I just ...After all the lies and everything he did to me, I told myself I! was using him! — that I was finally in control.

Sniffles

RED: When you love someone, you have no control.That’s what love is. Being powerless.
LIZ : I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
RED: There’s nothing wrong with you.

Kisses her forehead, cheek

RED : There’s nothing wrong with you.

Sniffles
Sighs. Hug.

A BAR

Tom sits down across from Red

TOM: Do you have it?

Red hands him an envelope; Tom checks contents, seems satisfied, gets up to leave

RED : You are never to see her again.

TOM : Yeah. I got it.

Red grabs Tom’s wrist, angrily

RED : I don’t think you do. Look at me.  You are never to see her again!
TOM : You know, for what it’s worth, I spent four months on that ship chained up. And I never told her about us. Not one word.
