SAMAR : What really matters is this. Nothing else is guaranteed.
⋘⋙
RESSLER : I mean, if they’re trying to prove Keen’s innocence, why go after some high-priced vigilante? Why do any of what they’ve done?
SAMAR : They’re searching. But if not for Keen’s innocence, then what for?
⋘⋙
RED : This is a perilously fast run down a slippery road. You’d have to hit all green lights, but we could make it work.

RED'S CAR
Route 214, rural west Virginia
Red is on phone with Dembe
RED : Does anything appear out of the ordinary?
DEMBE : No, but I don’t like this, Raymond.
RED : We’re less than an hour behind you, and Ian will be there any minute to open the store. The care package will be there soon after.
DEMBE : I should be with you.
RED : You will be in less than an hour. Oh, and don’t forget that other matter we discussed.
Red hangs up
LIZ : Other matter?
RED : Ian has a first edition of Life On The Mississippi for me. Multitasking.
LIZ : Oh.
RED : Have I ever told you the story about Ian Bartleby and his wife and the beekeeper they fell into bed with on the Isle of Skye? Fascinating, illuminating story.
LIZ : Oh, it’s been a long drive. Any chance I can hear about Ian and the beekeeper after I clean up?

CASHIER : Who?
LIZ : He was just here. He got gas at pump 5.
CASHIER : Maybe he paid credit at the pump.
LIZ : No, he would have paid cash.
CASHIER : No, no cash customers for hours.
LIZ : Okay, listen to me, this is very important. My friend – he wouldn’t have just left.
OFFICER : Excuse me, uh, ma’am, is there a problem?
CASHIER : She thinks something might have happened to her friend. Your friend – can you describe him? I can ask my manager if you want, see if he can roll back the security cameras.
LIZ : Thank you. No. I’m sure he’s here somewhere.Thanks for your concern, Officer.

H-he hasn’t answered his phone.
DEMBE : Elizabeth, where are you?
LIZ : You can’t leave the store.
DEMBE : – If Raymond is in trouble

Call me if you hear from Reddington.
RESSLER'S APARTMENT
Ressler and Samar spent the night together. Ressler is in the bathroom
Samar is in bed. Her cellphone rings : she answers
SAMAR : Navabi.
LIZ : Reddington’s missing.
SAMAR : What do you mean, “missing”?
LIZ : Samar, I need you to promise me something. If I give you his burner number– if ask you to trace his location, can you promise me you won’t tell Ressler?
SAMAR : What’s the number?
LIZ : 240-555-0146. Samar, I know what a difficult position I’m putting you in.
SAMAR : I don’t think you do.
LIZ : But Reddington just vanished.
SAMAR : He’s at 2436 Bronson, outside Davis Creek. It looks like it’s a salvage yard.
LIZ : A salvage yard.
SAMAR : Good luck.
She hangs up just in time :Ressler joins her in the bedroom
RESSLER : Hey.
SAMAR : Hi.
RESSLER : You, uh, think we should go into work separately?
SAMAR : You don’t think they’d believe we carpooled?
RESSLER : No. Last night was nice.
SAMAR : Yes. It was.
RESSLER : Don’t be late. I hear the boss is a – he’s a real prick.
POST OFFICE
ARAM : Hey. Reven Wright’s waiting for you in Mr. Cooper’s office.
RESSLER : Someone ran a search on this and then cleared the history. I want a list of every IP address visited in the last 24 hours.
ARAM : Want me to log it into Evidence?
RESSLER : No, no, just the, uh, search history.
ARAM : You missed a button.
RESSLER : Left in a hurry.
COOPER'S OFFICE
RESSLER : Cooper sold us out.
WRIGHT : You don’t know that.
RESSLER : I heard Keen and her ex on the phone set a meeting. I told one person– Harold Cooper. I show up to arrest them, and they’re gone.
WRIGHT : How could Cooper possibly warn Keen? How would he even reach her?
RESSLER : He didn’t reach her, he !reached him. He’s working with Tom. They’re running some kind of an operation to exonerate Keen. He betrayed us.
WRIGHT : Where are you on Solomon?
RESSLER : Ex-CIA disavowed after the Eritrean war.
WRIGHT : I’ll talk to Laurel Hitchin about him. She comes from that world. In the meantime, find out what the hell Harold Cooper is doing with Tom Keen.
COOPER'S HOUSE
TOM : We don’t have to stand here and play “Mother, may I?” With Donald Ressler, all right?
Tom to Cooper
TOM : You got a badge. Make the collar and walk him into DCPD.
COOPER : I spoke to Reddington. He has a plan, but we have to keep Karakurt secure until everything is set.
TOM : Great, so we do nothing.
CHARLENE : I want him out of here now.
COOPER : Soon.
COOPER : I promise.
Tom sees a man in the garden
TOM : We got company.
CHARLENE : Harold, what the hell is going on?
TOM : Tell me you got guns in this house.
COOPER : Just the one.
TOM ; Get it.
Three armed men enter. Shootout
KARAKURT : I’m here! Don’t shoot! Aah!
COOPER : Everybody out now. Go!
POST OFFICE
SAMAR : Hey.
ARAM : Yo.
SAMAR : What are you working on?
ARAM : Nothing.
SAMAR : Really? Because it looks like–
ARAM : Actually, can I ask you something? Agent Ressler– this is his laptop. He asked me to run a search history.
SAMAR : And why would he do that?
ARAM : Why wouldn’t he know what was searched on his own computer? He just said as soon as I figured it out, let him know.
SAMAR : You can’t do that.
ARAM : Why can’t I do that?
SAMAR : Because I did the search. For Liz. She called and she said Reddington was missing, and she asked me to trace his burner number. She made me promise not to tell Ressler.
ARAM : You know where they are, and you’re not gonna tell him.
SAMAR : I only know the truth about my brother because of Reddington. I owe him for that this once.
ARAM : Why use Agent Ressler’s laptop?
SAMAR : When Liz called, I wasn’t thinking. His laptop he must have left it at my work station. I don’t know. It was just there. Aram, please.
ARAM : I get it. I totally get it. Whatever you need. Mum’s the word.
SALVAGE YARD
Liz is dropped off at the salvage yard
LIZ : Thank you. Thanks for the ride.
Liz sees Red’s car. She opens the door and sees a small amount of blood and a burner phone. She flips it open – all the calls are from “Lizzy”
A CAMPER
Red groans, opens his eyes. He is chained, lying on a dirty mattress on the floor of a camper. There is a gash on the side of his head. Four rough looking people are looking at him, three men and a woman. The woman is wearing a short mini-skirt and is fawning over one of the men, Cash
JILLY : Morning, sunshine.
CASH : You one badass dude, ain’t you? Some kind of James Bond silencer and everything? Jilly; What you want we should do with him, Cash?
PABLO : I say we tie him to the truck, drag him down the road till there’s nothing left but bloody wingtips.
JILLY : I think he’s cute.
PABLO : Don’t touch the merchandise, bitch!
JILLY : I didn’t mean nothing.
CASH : Leave her be. Jilly’s just playing.
RED : Let me see if I can guess how this works.You grab hapless motorists, drain their ATM accounts, max out their credit cards, and dump them by the side of the road. Money or your life.
You’re highwaymen.
Red reading on Cash’s fingers
RED : “KOTH” . Knights? Kings! Of The Highway. How romantic..
CASH : Something like that. But, uh, whether or not you’re, uh, breathing when we dump you– well, that entirely depends on how polite you are.
T-BONE : I like wearing your co-co-coat. Must have set you b-b-back a bundle.
RED : No doubt worth considerably less now.
T-Bone lunges toward Red but is stopped by Cash, who is laughing
CASH : I like this one. Like his style. Like his gun. I like his watch. Rolex. That’s $10,000 easy.
RED : There’s more than that, if we can come to a mutually beneficial arrangement.
CASH : That right? ‘Cause all you got here is about, uh, 700 bucks and a Florida driver’s license.
So tell me, Kenneth Rathers, what’s a cat like you doing driving an old beater like that, hmm? You some kind of eccentric, or are you on the lam?
RED : Yeah, that’s what I am, Cash. I’m on the lam.
Cash gets out a rifle
RED : I was wondering when we’d get to that.
CASH : Well, we’re getting to it now.
He rams Red with the rifle butt . Red growls in pain.
CASH : You got some explaining to do, Jack!
RESSLER'S OFFICE
RESSLER : So, figure it out?
ARAM : I did.
RESSLER : And? I have a question about, uh, protocols. When we find Agent Keen, are you positive we’ll be able to protect her?
RESSLER : Aram, what did you find out?
ARAM : Protocols– what are they?
RESSLER : Keen will be held here under our supervision. I will handle her transportation to the federal courthouse with teams handpicked by me. No exceptions. Her travel will be overseen by a district court judge with a component level clearance, who has been vetted by Hitchin and Wright to make sure that they’re not involved with the, uh, Cabal. Okay?
ARAM : They’re in West Virginia. The search traced Mr. Reddington’s burner to a location outside of Davis Creek.
POST OFFICE
Ressler confronts Samar
RESSLER : We need to talk. So you’re protecting them– Keen and Reddington? Samar, I know about the search on my computer.
SAMAR : She called, he was missing.
RESSLER : So you knew where they were, and you didn’t tell me.
ARAM : She couldn’t, after Mr. Reddington helped with her brother.
SAMAR : That’s not why I did it.
ARAM : It’s not? You said–
SAMAR : If we bring Liz in, she will die.
RESSLER : First Cooper tipped them off about Wing Yee and now you’re protecting them.
SAMAR : Cooper didn’t tip them off. I did.
RESSLER : So I told you where they were, and you warned them?
SAMAR : Yes.
COOPER : Jesus, I told Reven Wright that Cooper betrayed us– betrayed me. Boy, was I wrong. He didn’t. It was you. I want you gone by the end of the day.
OUTSIDE THE CAMPER
T-BONE : No ATM or c-c-credit cards?
PABLO : Hey, man, you didn’t complain when we were grabbing him. It was a solid snatch.
T-BONE : Solid snatch, my ass. This g-g-guy stinks of the m-mob.
PABLO : Well, he smells like money to me.
CASH : There’s money in it, all right. Best grab what we’ve had since we rolled into town. He may not have much on him, but somebody will pay his bank to cut him loose.
T-BONE : I say we cut on him till he t-talks.
CASH : You idiot. If somebody’s gonna pay to get him back, they ain’t gonna like it too much if he’s all cut up. Sweet thing. Why don’t you give it a go, huh?
JILLY : Yeah.
CASH : Maybe he’ll sing like a bird.
He kisses her. She skips to the door of the camper
CASH : That girl is nuttier than a bag of roasted cashews … and twice as tasty.
SALVAGE YARD
Liz is looking at Red’s car
SALVAGE YARD OWNER : Nice, huh? Just came in this morning. Belongs to a retired doctor and his wife. They was on their way up to visit their daughter in Baltimore when she broke down.
LIZ : How’d it get here?
OWNER : Tow truck. Boy named Jasper runs all the auto club alerts along 119.
LIZ : Can you tell me where to find him?
BAR
Liz goes up to Jasper and intentionally spills his drink
LIZ : Ohh!
JASPER : What the hell?
LIZ : I’m sorry. Let me get you another one.
To bartender
LIZ :Uh, two.
Jasper has tattoo of a broken heart on his forearm
LIZ : Ohh. What’s her name? The one who broke it?
JASPER : Amber.
LIZ : Amber’s a bitch.
JASPER : Yeah, she was. I’m Jasper.
LIZ : I’m Kenya.
JASPER : That’s– that’s quite a name.
LIZ : Well, I am quite a girl.
COOPER'S CAR
Tom to Karakurt
TOM : They weren’t coming to save you. They were coming to kill you.You want to live? Tell me how they found you.
CHARLENE : So, where are we going?
COOPER : I don’t know. I’m sorry, Char. I wish I had a plan. I don’t.
KARAKURT : They said they did it to protect me.
TOM : What was?
KARAKURT : A tracking chip.
CHARLENE : Get on 95 south. Head towards Roanoke.
COOPER : What’s in Roanoke? There’s a cabin– Lake Yvonne. I know where the key is.
Vehicle approaching
KARAKURT : They’re on us. We can’t outrun them. It’s a radio frequency.
TOM : All right, where is it?
KARAKURT : It’s in my chest.
TOM : Well, that is gonna suck for you. We need to get him underground, lose the signal.
TOM : They’re still here.
Motorcyclistshoots outdriver’s side window , Charlene screams
TOM : Down now!
COOPER : Hold on!
Tires screech, both motorcycles crash
CHARLENE : Oh, God.
TOM : Go! Go! Go now!
OUTSIDE A TUNNEL
Solomon tracks Karakurt, Cooper and Tom. They find their car outside the tunnel.
MAN : Signal cut out here, but once we go in, Mr. Solomon, I can re-acquire it.
SOLOMON : Looks like we have some rats to catch.
THE CAMPER
Jilly has arranged a tea set on the mattress Red is on, complete with dolls. She speaks slowly in a silly, childlike voice
JILLY : It’s tea time.
RED : Oh, that’ll be fun, Jilly. Cucumber sandwiches?
JILLY : And scones.
RED : How delicious.
JILLY : Would you like one lump or two?
RED : Two, please.
JILLY : You simply must tell me your name. It’s dreadfully rude of me not to address you properly.
RED : Kenneth.
JILLY : Your real name.
RED : Kenneth.
Jilly pulls the head off a doll and lunges onto Red, pressing a sharp letter opener to his jugular
RED : Now look what you’ve done. You spilled all the tea, dear.
JILLY : You have to tell me your real name. They’re gonna hurt me if you don’t.
RED : You like getting hurt, Jilly. You wouldn’t be here with them if you didn’t.
JILLY : You think so?
RED : I do.
JILLY : Huh. Well maybe you’re right.
She moves provocatively and runs her hand over him, heading south …
She chuckles
JILLY : Oh. What’s this?
OUTSIDE THE CAMPER
CASH : Not bad, baby! Mm!
T-BONE : There’s over 25 large here!
CASH : 25? That’s over 6 grand apiece.
PABLO : Nice work, Jilly! Ha-ha!
PABLO : Hey, what about Jasper? Five ways.
CASH : Jasper ain’t one of us.
Red is listening attentively now through the window of the camper
CASH : He’s hired help, alright? He’ll take what we want to give him.
BAR
Liz (aka Kenya) and Jasper are playing pool. He is reaching around her and guiding her shot
JASPER : Don’t hold too tight, darlin’. There.
LIZ : Oh!
They hug and kiss. She lifts his phone
LIZ : I’m gonna go tinkle.
THE CAMPER
Left alone, Red manages to get the dollhead with the knife using his feet and uses it to open his handcuffs
BAR
Liz sees a message to Jasper from Pablo saying “Hit the jackpot with this dude”
Liz returns in the bar
LIZ : You couldn’t stay away.
JASPER : I’m an idiot. I didn’t realize how late it was. I-I got to go back to work.
LIZ : I got a better idea. Your place.
They hug and kiss. She returns Jasper’s phone to his pocket
UNDERGROUND STORM SEWER
Tom, Karakurt, Cooper and Charlene are now in a large underground storm sewer
TOM : Keep an eye out!
To Karakurt
TOM : Sit.
Tom fashions a cutting edge from a soda can
KARAKURT : What’s that for?
TOM : I’m gonna amputate your leg. What do you think it’s for? I’m taking the chip out.
KARAKURT : Are you crazy?
TOM : We can’t stay down here. If we go up there, they will find us, and they will kill us. So I’m taking it out.
In the tunnel, Solomon and his men pursuit Karakurt, Cooper and his wife and Tom
SOLOMON : Do we have a signal yet?
MAN : It’s weak, but they’re ahead of us.
UNDERGROUND STORM SEWER
CHARLENE : What are we doing here, Harold?
COOPER : Let’s forget about where we are and think about where we’re going. This cabin– tell me about it.
CHARLENE : It’s not important right now.
COOPER : I know you’ve been wanting us to go away. Was this supposed to be a surprise? Char, I promise–
CHARLENE : The cabin belongs to Doug Koster.
COOPER : What are you doing with a key to our neighbor’s cabin?
Charlene cries
CHARLENE : It happened before you got sick. We were in such a different place. You were working all the time, and I was– I was lonely. Well, the truth is, like, I mean, just thinking about you getting sick, it was a blessing because it made me realize what a fool I had been and how lucky I am.
Tom extracts the tracking chip from Karakurt's neck
POST OFFICE
RESSLER : So find out anything about Solomon?.
WRIGHT : Not yet. I have– I’ve got a call into Laurel.
RESSLER : I’ve got a lead on Keen. Agent Navabi talked to her. She was helping her.
WRIGHT : Helping, so you could catch her?
RESSLER : No, just helping her. So I fired her.
WRIGHT : You fired Agent Navabi for aiding and abetting? Are you suggesting I prosecute her?
RESSLER : That’s your call.
WRIGHT : As is whether to prosecute Harold Cooper. Harold is one of the most decent men I know. Would it violate our principles to be a little flexible?
RESSLER : Well, that’s exactly what Tommy Markin used to tell my dad. They were partners– Detroit PD. He’d sit around talking about how dirty the precinct was and how they were gonna clean it up. Did they?
RESSLER : No. When my father refused to go on the payroll, a drug dealer put a bullet in him. It was a trap, set by the crookedest cop of all– good old Tommy Markin.
WRIGHT : What happened to him?
RESSLER : Nothing. They protected him. My father died for his principles. If I compromise mine, it’ll be as if he died for nothing.
THE CAMPER
T-BONE : You really think we weren’t g-g-gonna find your money?
RED : You didn’t find anything. Jilly found it ’cause you’re too dense to even look for it. No wonder Cash doesn’t trust you with anything more important than babysitting.
T-BONE : That’s big talk coming from a g-guy who’s–
Red gets his gun, turns it on him
Gunshot. Screaming
T-BONE : Aah! Aah!
RED : You are aware you need to clean and oil these from time to time, right?
OUTSIDE THE CAMPER
Red goes outside and attempts to get in a car : the side window shatters
CASH : Next one’s going in your head. Didn’t I tell you that whether or not you’re breathing when I dump you depends on how polite you are?
SALVAGE YARD
Thanking the salvage company’s owner
RESSLER : I think that should be it. Thank you for your time.
COTHRAN : Agent Ressler, I’m Vic Cothran, here to help in any way we can.
RESSLER : According to the owner, the female fugitive was definitely here. Here’s the make, model, and license number of the vehicle that she’s in. We also need to track down a local tow-truck driver by the name of, uh, Jasper– Skeehan.
COTHRAN : We’ve had our eye on him. Suspect he’s a member of a gang– Kings Of The Highway.
RESSLER : Where are we on local media?
COTHRAN : The TV, radio, and newspapers have all agreed to get the photos and descriptions out ASAP.
RESSLER : All right, funnel any credible sightings directly to me.
THE CAMPER
T-Bones moans
T-BONE : I g-g-gotta get to the hospital.
CASH : Suck it up, kid! Hold still. Let old Pablo here fix you up. You’re gonna be just fine.
RED : You sure it didn’t hit an organ? Looks pretty close to a kidney–
CASH : Shut up! Don’t listen to him. He’s the one that shot you. He don’t know nothing.
RED : Then again, you bleed out, one less person who gets a cut of my money.
CASH : I said– shh!
PABLO : Seriously, man, maybe we should let him get to a hospital.
T-BONE : I’m freezing!
RED : You’ going into shock.You’ve lost too much blood. The body’s beginning to shut down.
Cash kicks Red who coughs, breathing heavily
CASH : Okay. Okay. You know the drill. Give him a fake name. Get in, get patched, get out. Got me?
JILLY : Cash. He’s on TV.
Newscaster on TV: « Authorities are concentrating their search on Kanawha and Roane counties.
Residents of those areas are advised to report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement.
… … … murder and domestic terror charges »
CASH : Oh, yeah. We’re looking at a lot more than 25 grand.
Jilly giggles
JASPER'S APARTMENT
Door opens, Liz laughs
LIZ : Wow, I love what you’ve done with the place.
JASPER : Yeah, well, you know, I just– It’s just temporary. Come here.
LIZ : You gonna offer me a beer? Wait right here.
UNDERGROUND STORM SEWER
Solomon and colleagues are searching for Karakurt in the storm sewer
Indistinct talking
SOLOMON'S ASSOCIATES :
– No, go away.
– They’re further down.
– Wait, wait.
– They’re behind us moving fast.
SOLOMON : How’d that happen?
– I have no idea.
– Wait, wait, he’s right here.
They find the tracking chip attached to the collar of a dog
SOLOMON : Very good.
THE CAMPER
Red is attempting to sow discontent among his abductors
RED : When’s the last time you got any of that, Pablo? Or have you?
PABLO : We share everything.
RED : But not with Jasper, apparently.
PABLO : That’s our business. It ain’t yours.
RED : Oh, it is very much my business. As a matter of fact, Pablo, our operations are remarkably similar, albeit mine functions on a somewhat grander scale, certainly more hygienic. But at the end of the day, it all boils down to the same basic principle. We steal from others, but not from each other.
PABLO : Shut your mouth, or I swear to God, I’m gonna–
RED : Kill me? That’ll fix things. At least until those two decide a two-way split makes more sense than four. Tell me something. Do you trust Cash? Do you trust him with your life? [ Cellphone ringing ]
PABLO : Hey, man, this ain’t a good time.
OUTSIDE THE CAMPER
Cash on phone withe Jasper
CASH : I just texted you a picture, all right? That fella we grabbed this morning– his name is Raymond Reddington, and he is number one on the FBI’s most wanted list. And that gal he’s with– she’s that Russian chick that blew up them CIA guys. Do you think we can still find her? They’re worth a fortune. Everything okay?
JASPER : Yeah. All good. Yeah, I got to call you back.
JASPER'S APARTMENT
Cellphone thuds lightly. Fight. Liz gets gun shoots him three times
JASPER : Aah!
He groans
LIZ : Where’s my friend?!
BAR
COTHRAN : Jasper Skeehan took a break for lunch and hasn’t returned.
RESSLER : Incident report just came in on a walk-in at the ER With a GSW to the abdomen. Says it was a hunting accident, but doctors pulled out a .380 slug. Who hunts with a .380?
COTHRAN : Exactly.
RESSLER : I don’t like this.
OUTSIDE THE CAMPER
CASH : Get the motor home ready. If T-Bone makes it back, he can haul the trailer. Otherwise, screw it. I want to get out of here.
JILLY : What about Reddington?
Cash points index finger to head. Chuckles lightly
POST OFFICE
ARAM : Hey. You okay?
SAMAR : I’ll be fine.
ARAM : Anything I can do?
SAMAR : I’m good. I never would have said anything if I knew this was gonna happen. You said you weren’t going to say anything at all.
ARAM : I know, and I am sorry, but you lied. You said Agent Ressler’s laptop was on your work station, and we both know that is not the truth. The IP address where your search originated– it was Agent Ressler’s apartment early this morning. Way early, so–
SAMAR : Aram, I’m sorry.
ARAM : Yeah. Me too.
OUTSIDE ER/HOSPITAL
DOCTOR : Sir, you really should let us keep you overnight.
RESSLER : Excuse me. Donald Ressler, FBI. What seems to be the problem?
T-BONE : No problem at all, Officer. Just trying to be on my way.
COTHRAN : So, this was a hunting accident?
T-BONE : That’s right.
COTHRAN : Funny outfit for hunting.
T-BONE : Probably should get one of those orange v-v-vests, huh?
RESSLER : Well, Doctor, if he wants to go, there’s nothing we can do to force him to stay.
T-BONE : Why, thank you, Officer. I appreciate it.
T-Bone leaves
COTHRAN : We’re letting him walk?
RESSLER : That’s Raymond Reddington’s coat. Let’s see where he leads us.
FOREST
RED : What do you think is actually going on here?
CASH : Piss off, man.
RED : You sure this is about me? I’m worth a lot more to them than you are. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I were to walk out of these woods alive and I sincerely doubt you’ll be as lucky.
Where do you suppose they’re gonna go with my money? I say Aruba. Maybe Cancún
Cellphone ringing
CASH : It’s Jasper. Where the hell you been?
LIZ : You’re holding my friend. I want to make a deal.
CASH : It’s that Russian bitch. I’m listening. I’ve got your friend Jasper here.
LIZ : Straight trade– him for Reddington.
CASH : And I thought you was gonna offer me something worth a damn, sister. Keep him.
LIZ : I don’t think you understand the situation here.
CASH : The situation is that my man Reddington here is worth a fortune, and Jasper, God bless his heart, is, uh– well, he’s dead weight. Tell him it’s been real.
Cellphone beeps
PABLO : Dude, Jasper’s family.
CASH : Yeah, well, if that’s a fact, uh, he’s the idiot cousin. Forget him. Three of us is family. That’s what counts.
PABLO : Reddington is worth a fortune?
CASH : What?
PABLO : You just said Reddington is worth a fortune?
CASH : Yeah, and?
PABLO : You’re not gonna kill him, are you?
CASH : Of course we’re gonna kill him. What do you think we’re doing out here?
Cellphone ringing : Pablo points his gun at Cash.
CASH : What are you doing, son?
JILLY : Pablo, what the hell?
PABLO : Answer the phone. You tell her we gonna make a trade.
JILLY : What are you doing? You’re gonna ruin everything.
RED : See, this is why I don’t go to family reunions. Aunt Lucile is always arguing with Buddy, Uncle Scott is drunk by noon, and someone’s hand is always in the wrong cookie jar.
CASH : Well you ain’t got the stones to pull that trigger.
Gunshot, Jilly screams. Pablo shoots Cash again
Pablo to Jilly
PABLO : Pick up the phone. Put it on speaker.
Phone beeps
LIZ : Listen to me.
PABLO : We’re ready to deal Reddington’s worth a bundle. You know it. You and him are worth two mil to the feds. You can match that?
LIZ : I can. Uh, it’ll take some time. I’ll call you back in two hours.
RED : Elizabeth, don’t!
PABLO : Shut up, man. You don’t get no vote. Two hours or Reddington here’s dead. And bring Jasper, or no deal.
Pablo hangs up
JILLY : Pablo.That was beautiful.

STOREKEEPER : Dembe, I believe this is what you’ve been waiting for. Heavier than it looks.
Case closes, locks
DEMBE'S CAR
DEMBE : Raymond.
LIZ : Reddington’s been abducted. I’m not exactly sure by who, and I don’t know why, but I think I have a plan to get him back.
DEMBE : A prisoner exchange?
LIZ ; That and we have to give them the care package.
DEMBE : Raymond will not allow that.

WRIGHT : Well, I need a minute. It’s important.
HITCHIN : Of course. Come in.
WRIGHT : What do you know about Operation Backslide?
HITCHIN : Uh, it was a CIA operation to support Somalia against the Islamic Courts Union. Why do you ask?
WRIGHT : Matias Solomon ran the operation. It was the last one he ran before the Agency fired him.
HITCHIN : You asked me for information about Solomon. I’m sorry. The day just got away from me. That’s okay.
WRIGHT : I did some digging on my own. So, at the time of the operation, you were Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. According to the records, the operatives were given State Department cover. Solomon was listed as an attaché working out of your office.
HITCHIN : Yeah, well, we gave cover to a lot of operatives, so And maybe some of them know Solomon.
WRIGHT : If I could get a list –
HITCHIN : Was this, uh, Agent Ressler’s idea or?
WRIGHT : No, no, I haven’t told him yet. I came here as soon as I found out.
