Épisode Mato S04E02 - The Blacklist Saison 4

Liz attaque Kirk et le pilote de l'hydravion alors qu'ils sont en plein vol au dessus de l'océan.

De leur côté Red, Dembé et Mr. Kaplan sortent de la voiture accidentée et constatent le disparition d'Agnes alors que Tom arrive.

Mr Kaplan a reconnu Mato avant de s'évanouir. Elle a un ami commun avec Mato, Little Nikos. Celui-ci pourrait les aider à localiser l'homme. Ils se rendent donc tous à Amarillo, au Texas, afin de lui soutirer des informations.

Mr. Kaplan souhaite parler à son ami avant Red afin de le convaincre de les aider. Comme elle ne reçoit aucune réponse de sa part, Red confie la mission à Tom qui utilise les moyens à sa disposition pour le faire parler. La tâche est d'autant plus facile que Nikos est sur une table d'opération. Sous la torture, il finit par donner un numéro de téléphone et un mot de passe afin que Mato vienne à son bureau. Mr. Kaplan tente toujours de convaincre Red qu'elle a fait ce qu'il lui avait demandé des années auparavant lorsqu'il avait déposé Liz bébé dans ses bras : la protéger elle...et Agnes.

Kirk et Liz s'accrochent aux flotteurs de l'hydravion qui s'est écrasé et a coulé. Kirk essaie encore et toujours de convaincre Liz de sa bonne foi et manque de se noyer. Liz le sauve, pour Agnes et aussi parce qu'il pourrait bien lui dire la vérité. Un pêcheur cubain leur vient finalement en aide mais celui-ci est blessé par Kirk alors qu'il envoie un message aux gardes-côtes et que Liz lui demande s'il a une arme. Kirk ordonne par radio à ses hommes de venir les récupérer.

Mato remet Agnes à Romina qui doit accompagner les hommes de Kirk. Elle ne doit remettre le bébé qu'à celui-ci et personne d'autre. Mato reçoit alors le message de Nikos lui fixant rendez-vous. Il s'y rend mais tombe dans le piège et est capturé par Red qui le questionne puis le tue après avoir eu la réponse tant attendue : l'endroit où se trouve Liz, le « Summer Palace », qu'il connaît d'ailleurs.

Il transmet l'information à la Task-Force qui se trouve plus près afin que l'équipe intervienne.

Liz a pu enfin voir Agnes par téléphone et Kirk lui promet qu'elle va bientôt la retrouver.

Une fois arrivée à destination, Liz découvre un luxueux cottage, le « Summer Palace » sur l'île de Nova Scottia, gardé par des hommes armés.

Tandis que Kirk se fait soigner, Liz visite la maison. Elle y retrouve sa chambre d'enfant, ainsi que la même photo d'elle et de sa mère sur la balançoire. Kirk revient et essaie encore de la convaincre de ses bonnes intentions. Mais Liz doute, lui disant qu'elle se souvient d'un incendie, d'avoir tué son père. Kirk dément et affirme que ces histoires racontées par Reddington ne sont que des mensonges destinés uniquement à faire partie de sa vie car il est obsédé par elle.

Kirk parti pour prendre des nouvelles de l'arrivée d'Agnes, des souvenirs de Liz ressurgissent ; sa maman a enterré une boîte « la machine à remonter le temps » remplie de souvenirs. Dedans s'y trouve surtout un bracelet ayant appartenu à Katarina. Liz retrouve la boîte mais une équipe du FBI avec Ressler à sa tête arrive pour la libérer.

Malheureusement si Liz est retrouvée, Kirk a eu le temps de s'enfuir avec Agnes.

Liz est conduite en lieu sûr : Tom l'y attend. Red quant à lui observe son retour à distance tandis qu'elle lui jette un regard froid.

Red conduit Mr.Kaplan au milieu d'une gigantesque forêt vierge. Celle-ci lui rappelle qu'elle connaît tout de lui, ses forces, ses faiblesses et qu'il a mis en elle sa confiance il y a longtemps pour « sa liberté, sa vie et un enfant ». Mais Red lui répond qu'il ne peut plus avoir confiance, qu'il se tient devant une étrangère...et lui tire dessus avant de partir.

 

Résumé de mnoandco

PLANE

Kirk, who claims to be Liz’s father Constantin Rostov, has forced Liz to accompany him on a float plane to a place he tells her is “home.”

KIRK : He won’t find you– Reddington– if that’s what you’re hoping for or worried about.
LIZ : Tom’s alive. You don’t have Agnes. I’m not worried about anything.
KIRK : I won’t apologize for trying to restore my family.
LIZ : Even if it means destroying mine.
KIRK : Reddington– He took you from me.
LIZ : And you hate him for it, for stealing your child. I know how that feels.
KIRK : You would’ve been with Agnes now if you hadn’t tried to escape.
LIZ : Yes. But then again, so would you.

Cellphone rings. Kirk on phone with Mato

KIRK : Tell me.
MATO : I got the girl.
KIRK : Kirk’s Find a way across the Straits, then contact my office in the Keys. Do it quickly. Agnes has been away from her mother too long.

 Suddenly, Liz lunges at the pilot. The plane nosedives

Gunshot

PILOT : She’s gonna kill us! Aah!

The pilot is fatally shot. Liz leans over the pilot to grab the controls of the plane tries to level it. The plane is about to hit the water …

FOREST

 The car with Dembe, Red, Mr Kaplan and baby Agnes was rammed by Mato, who has taken Agnes. Tom drives up in a red pickup truck

 

RED : The child…

Truck stops

RED : No.

TOM : Liz and Agnes.
RED : No. Please assist Mr. Kaplan.
TOM : You all right?

Red clears throat, Dembe grunts

TOM : Where are they?
RED : In danger. How did you find us?
TOM : I had Aram tracking that car. I spent the better part of the day stuck in the trunk.
RED : Who was the driver?
TOM : Had to be one of Kirk’s hired hands. 6-foot, rough trade, dark skin. Likes Western wear.
KATE : Mato. I saw his face.
TOM : Who’s Mato?
KATE : A finder. A tracker. Killer when necessary.
TOM : How do we find him?
KATE : I don’t know.
RED : You don’t know or you won’t say?
KATE : We had a mutual friend. He gave Mato his start as a skip tracer. It was years ago.
RED : Little Nikos.
KATE : I can talk to him. If he knows anything, he’ll tell me.
RED : West Texas’ favorite bail bondsman. An Amarillo institution for 25 yea

rs to life. Dembe, call Edward. Tell him to ready the jet. We’re gonna pay a visit to Little Nikos.

CRASHED PLANE
Liz wakes in the crashed plane in the water. Kirk is unconscious

POST OFFICE

 Aram runs up metal stairs still the Post Office

ARAM : Excuse me. Sorry.

COOPER'S OFFICE

Aram, on phone with Red

ARAM : It’s Mr. Reddington.

POST OFFICE/RED'S PLANE

RED :  We have two targets– Elizabeth Keen and Agnes Keen– traveling separate paths to an unknown location. Constantin Rostov, also know as Alexander Kirk, fled with Elizabeth in a private seaplane that departed from Playa Larga… mm, less than an hour ago, due west.
ARAM : What about Agnes?
RED : I have a lead on Agnes. She was abducted by one of Kirk’s private contractors, a high-priced tracker known only as Mato. He missed the flight off the island.
SAMAR : Then he’s trapped in Cuba. There’s no way he’ll make it past the PNR after the international incident you just caused there.
RED : Ordinarily I would agree with you, Agent Navabi, but Mato isn’t your garden-variety mercenary. From what I’m told, he’s an Indian– part Sioux, part I don’t know what, son of a Shaman. Mato could sneak up on a deer in a glade and smack it on the rump. He’ll find his way off the island.
COOPER : We’ll notify the seaports just in case. Good luck. And let us know what you turn up.

Phone hangs up

POST OFFICE

COOPER : Contact Customs and Border Patrol. They work with the Coast Guard to monitor the air and waters around Cuba.
SAMAR : Sir, I don’t understand why we’re going to such extremes–
COOPER : Agent Ressler is on a return flight from Cuba. It’s time to set aside your personal feelings and help out this investigation.

RED'S PLANE

KATE : This is my fault. If anything happens to Elizabeth or the baby…
TOM : You have nothing to apologize for. You tried to help us find a normal life. I’d take that risk again.

To Red

TOM : I don’t regret trying to get away from you.
RED : Of course you don’t. Regret requires age or wisdom.
TOM : We were trying to protect Agnes.
RED : I guess that didn’t work out. When we get to Amarillo, I think it would be best to do as I say, both of you.

CRASHED PLANE

LIZ : Mayday, mayday, mayday. Plane down off the coast of Havana. 23 degrees, 52 minutes north.
82 degrees, 49 minutes south. Mayday, mayday, mayday. Can anyone hear me?
KIRK : My sat phone.
LIZ : Gone.
KIRK : You need to untie me, Masha.
LIZ : Mayday, mayday, mayday, is anyone there?
KIRK : What was that? You need to know that Agnes is safe. She’ll be cared for.You see anything?
LIZ : One of the pontoons is taking on water. We don’t have long.
KIRK : Untie me! Masha, I’m your father. You can’t let me drown.
LIZ : Watch me.

POST OFFICE

CAPTAIN DALY : We’ve got every sonar operator in the Miami district working on this. We launched the search as soon as I received your call.
SAMAR : Any chance the plane is still in range?
CAPTAIN DALY : A light aircraft, flying low and slow? We’ll find it. We monitor 2 million square miles of ocean from Miami.
SAMAR : Agent Ressler, welcome back. This is Captain Daly. He’s our liaison with the US Coast Guard.
CAPTAIN DALY : I’m authorized to give you full access to our radar screens.
RESSLER : If that seaplane is flying low, won’t it avoid detection?
CAPTAIN DALY : Most radar transmitters are on the ground, aimed at the sky. Ours float in the sky on balloons, looking down. They’re designed to detect small aircraft, like the one you described. If you don’t mind me asking, who’s on the plane?
RESSLER : Friend.

At the same time as Ressler

SAMAR : A fugitive.
CAPTAIN DALY : Sounds complicated.

AMARILLO

 Red and Kate get out of the car

KATE : When we get inside, let me talk to him. He and I have history.
RED : He and I don’t. I’ll be more persuasive.
KATE : Is that what this has come to? The chance for you to punish me by hurting someone I care about?
RED : You are not my concern. Agnes is. If someone you care about is hurt in the process of finding her, so be it.
KATE : Do you remember what I looked like that night? Lying in the street, my head torn open… Annie’s body in front of me.
RED : You know I don’t know what you looked like. I was away.
KATE : Right, but he does. Little Nikos sat by my bed in the hospital. When I healed, he gave me work, a reason to push on. He’s a decent man. I’m only here to serve you today because of his kindness.
RED : You may speak to him first. Briefly.

NIKOS'S OFFICE

MAISIE : Afternoon. Can I help you?
KATE : Little Nikos, please.
MAISIE : Oh, wish I could oblige, Miss…
KATE : Mr. Kaplan, an old friend.
MAISIE : Mr. Kaplan, I wish I could oblige, but Nikos is takin’ a little nap.
RED : Perhaps it’s time for a wake-up call.
MAISIE : Uh, I’m afraid that’s not possible. He’s in surgery.
RED : Where?
MAISIE : His stomach.
RED : And where might we find his stomach?

OPERATING ROOM
Red and Kate burst into an operating room where a laparoscopic surgery is underway

ELLEN : I told him he couldn’t come in.
RED : Oh, my. Me and my timing.
SURGEON : What the hell is going on?
RED : Is this a lap band? I knew all those desserts would catch up with Little Nikos one day. I think I see some baklava in there.
SURGEON : Put that down. Helen, get him out of here. Call building security.
RED : I need your capable team here to wake up your patient.
SURGEON : What? Call security right now.
RED : Wake him up.
SURGEON : I can’t. We’re in the middle of a procedure. I’d be putting his life in danger.
RED : His life’s already in danger.

He draws his gun

RED : How ’bout yours?

CRASHED PLANE

KIRK : There are no life vests, no inflatable rafts. We’re gonna flip. Our only chance is out there, holding onto the pontoons.
LIZ : You mean my only chance. You’re not going anywhere.
KIRK : We’re not gonna survive unless we trust each other.
LIZ : I’ll never trust you.

Kirk has gotten the gun when Liz was distracted with the flare. He points it at her

KIRK : We’re a family. Not Reddington. Us. If you wanna hold your child in your arms again, we need to trust each other.

Kirk hands the gun to Liz

POST OFFICE

RESSLER : The Coast Guard just picked up a brief ELT signal from a light aircraft west of Havana, somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico.
COOPER : An ELT signal? Are you telling me their plane went down?
SAMAR : It appears that way, sir.
COOPER : But we have a location for them.
RESSLER : It’s not that simple. This ELT signal’s an older model. Analog frequency.
ARAM : No digital signal to carry GPS coordinates.
SAMAR : ELTs are notoriously unreliable, especially if they’re… submerged underwater.
CAPTAIN DALY : We’ve narrowed the search field to 220 square miles. SAR teams are gearing up now.
ARAM : I know this is not about me, it is about Agent Keen, but I don’t know if I have the strength to lose her again.
SAMAR : None of us do.
COOPER : Stay on it. Say a prayer. And notify me the minute you have an update.

OUTSIDE THE OPERATING ROOM

SURGEON : He’s awake and in excruciating pain. I gave him a self-administering morphine drip to manage his discomfort. Even that won’t be enough unless you get what you want quickly and leave.Red to Kate

RED :  Remember… we’re getting what we need, one way or another.

OPERATING ROOM

Nikos groans softly

LITTLE NIKOS : Kate. What are you… What’s happening?
KATE : We only have a minute. Raymond Reddington is here.

Nikos grunts

KATE : He wants Mato. Tell me how to find Mato.
LITTLE NIKOS : No.
KATE : He’ll kill you if you don’t.
LITTLE NIKOS : He’ll kill Mato if I do.
RED : I’m not gonna hurt you, Nikos. You’re a good man. Loyal. Protective of those who are protective of you. I admire that in a person. Unfortunately for you, I’m surrounded by people who don’t. Tom, I’d like to introduce you to Little Nikos, the man who’s protecting the sociopath who stole your baby. Good luck with that surgery, Nick.

WATER

  Kirk and Liz are clinging to the pontoons of the overturned float plane

KIRK : Don’t let go. No matter what, don’t let go.
LIZ : They’re looking. The FBI, the Coast Guard. They’ll find us.
KIRK : They’ll find you…which is enough.

Kirk exhales sharply, then loses his grip and slips under the water

LIZ : No. No!

Liz dives down and saves Kirk

KIRK : I told you not to let go.
LIZ : I can help you.
KIRK : It’s too much.
LIZ : You said we have to trust each other. Do you trust me?
KIRK : Yes.
LIZ : Then hold on. They will find us. They will find us.

OPERATING ROOM

 Tom shows Little Nikos a small photo of baby Agnes

TOM : Here’s my little girl. That’s Agnes. I’m gonna put this right… here, because she is the reason I am doing this. Remember that.

Tom puts the photo on the adjustable surgical light where Little Nikos can see it
Little Nikos reathing heavily

TOM : I’ll just take this. That’s enough, yeah.Tell me how to find Mato.
LITTLE NIKOS : I… I can’t do that.
TOM : Well, you do have guts.

Instrument whirs

TOM : What do you think this does?

WAITING ROOM

  Red and Kate are sitting in the waiting room
In the next room, Nikos screams, cries

RED : I’m sorry it had to be Nikos.
KATE : If there’s no sincerity behind your words, don’t waste them.

Nikos screaming

RED : What would you have me say, Kate?
KATE : Say that you understand. I didn’t just give you my friend as an act of contrition. I’m not sorry for what I did. I betrayed you for the same reason I just betrayed Nikos– to keep Elizabeth safe, just like you asked me to all those years ago, when you first put her in my arms as a baby girl, only now she has a baby girl of her own, and your existence in their lives puts them in constant danger. Say that you understand or don’t say anything at all.

Nikos screaming

WATER

LIZ : Hey, stay awake. Stay with me. Talk to me. Tell me, uh, about your parents. What were their names?

Ship horn blows

LIZ : Help! Over here! Help!

Liz waves to get the boat’s attention

WAITING ROOM

TOM : I got a phone number and a password.
RED : Nakaidoklini?
TOM : It’s a famous medicine man. I don’t know. You text that name to that number using Nikos’ cellphone, and Mato will show up in person at the bail office. It’s how they do it.

OPERATING ROOM

Kate goes to Nikos’ bedside. Monitor beeping steadily

KATE : I’m so sorry, Nikos.

Red,  beckoning her

RED : Kate.

BOAT

LIZ : Oh, thank you. Thank you. Uh, he needs medical attention. First aid? Uh, do you understand? Medicina.
BOAT CAPTAIN : Medicina? Sí. I have a first aid kid–
LIZ : Good, good. Show me. He needs it right now. Right now.
KIRK : Why did you save me? Why?
LIZ : Because you know where Agnes is.
KIRK : Is that the only reason?
LIZ :You need to keep pressure on that leg. You’ve lost a lot of blood. I saved you because of Agnes, but… also maybe because you might be telling the truth.

Liz talks to the boat captain alone

LIZ : Me llamo Elizabeth Keen. I’m with the FBI. That man was in my custody when our plane crashed.
BOAT CAPTAIN : Medicina?
LIZ : No, no, no, no. Uh… Señor… terrorist. Muy malo. Muy malo.
CAPTAIN : Terrorista?

She whispers

LIZ : Shh, shh, shh, yes. Uh, necesito un radio.
BOAT CAPTAIN : Radio? Sí, sí.

LIZ : Do you have a gun? Pistola?
BOAT CAPTAIN : Pistola? The gun is in the toolbox.
LIZ : Uh, I don’t– No comprendo.

Captain speaks in Spanish; no subtitles

LIZ : No, slow down. Please slow down…

Gunshot  – the captain is hit by Kirk

KIRK : I believe he said the pistol is in the toolbox.

COOPER'S OFFICE

 Ressler knocks on door

COOPER : Come in.
RESSLER : Coast Guard just intercepted a distress call on the Gulf. Some Cuban fishing vessel. Keen was on board.
ARAM : So she’s alive?
COOPER : You can come in, Aram.
ARAM : Sorry, I just wanted to hear the update, which is… the greatest update ever.
COOPER : Did you talk to her?
RESSLER : No, but we heard her voice. The pilot was in the middle of giving the coordinates when the transmission cut out.
COOPER : The signal cut out? Why? Could you get it back?
RESSLER : All that matters is that the search teams have a target now. They’re gonna find that boat.
COOPER : Agent Ressler… the signal. What aren’t you telling me?
RESSLER : Keen’s voice. The last thing we heard was her asking if there was a gun on board.

WOODED SITE

  A wooded site. Agnes lies on a blanket on the ground. Mato performs a Native American ritual over her as Romina watches

MATO : Honor the sacred, Honor the Earth, and everyone who shares it. Honor the elders… ♪ …the 4-legged, the 2-legged, the winged ones, the plant and animal people. Walk in beauty and balance. Oy, kak krasivo!

Two men with Russian accents walk in on the scene

RUSSIAN : I take photo for Facebook, yeah? You don’t want your money?

Russian tosses black leather bag to Mato

MATO : I need to know that you’re gonna safely deliver that baby to Kirk.
RUSSIAN : His jet is waiting at MIA.

Mato checks contents of satchel

Mato to Romina

MATO : Put the girl into Kirk’s hands only.
ROMINA : I understand.

Cellphone chimes. Mato checks the text message. It’s from Nikos

BOAT

LIZ : If this man dies–
KIRK : It’ll be your fault. You got him involved.

Kirk speaks into phone

KIRK : I need an ETA.
MAN : Intercept team should reach your position in 20 minutes. They want to know how many passengers, over.
LIZ : Three passengers, and make sure there’s a medical team standing by.
KIRK : Two passengers. Over. I know you were lying about believing in me. But I promise, once we reach our destination, you’ll know that everything I’ve told you is true.
LIZ : Of course you believe that. You’re a classic narcissist. You were, what, abused as a child? Abandoned? Made to feel powerless? You must’ve suffered some sick, traumatic, dark event to believe that the sick, traumatic dark things you’ve done to me and everyone I care about could ever result in me loving you.

NIKOS'S OFFICE

 In the bail office, Maisy sighs, is sweaty, appears stressed

RED : You’re doing fine, Maisy.
DEMBE : He should be here any minute.

RED'S CAR

In the car, waiting outside for Mato

TOM : Sorry about Nikos.
KATE : You did your job.
TOM : I know, but… I didn’t mean to… He knew where my baby was, all right? That’s the only reason I pushed so hard.
KATE : Why are you telling me this?
TOM : Because he’s your friend.
KATE : So you want me to make you feel better? Everyone wants me to make things easier for them. Cleaner. That’s what I am, after all, the Cleaner.
TOM : Just forget I brought it up.
KATE : In my desire to make life easier for your baby, I betrayed Raymond, and now he doesn’t know what to do with me. Well, he knows what he has to do, and he wants me to make it easier for him. But I won’t. I’m not here to make him feel better, and I’m not here to make you feel better, Tom.

Footsteps approaching. Mato pauses at door of office

KATE : I need some air.

She gets out of the car.

NIKOS'S OFFICE

Maisy humming

Mato walks up to door of Nikos’ office.

STREET

Kaplan sees him. He sees Kaplan and takes off running.

Tom takes off after him. Dembe soon follows
Chase scene

MAN : Watch yourself!

Tires screech as Kate drives the car into Mato

TOM : Where’s my daughter?! Where’s my daughter?

Tom punches Mato

MATO : Uhh!
TOM : Huh? Where is she?! Where– where’s my daughter? Huh? Where is she?
RED : Tom!

Mato grunts

RED : Let’s get out of the heat.

Red to Kaplan

RED : Thank you.
KATE : Of course, Raymond.

POST OFFICE

On phone

BOAT CAPTAIN : Found your boat near Madeira Bay, a few miles offshore. It’s being escorted to a nearby marina.
RESSLER : Was there anyone on board?

MARINA

Ressler and Samar are at the marina

SAMAR : Where’s the survivor?

The boat captain is receving medical attention on the pier for his gunshot wound

Ressler to the boat captain

RESSLER : Excuse me. FBI. We need a minute. Sir, the woman, the one who was with you, where is she?
BOAT CAPTAIN : I don’t understand.
SAMAR : [ In Spanish, no subtitles ] Where is the woman?
BOAT CAPTAIN : [ In Spanish ” ” ] He took her. On a speedboat. They took her away in a speedboat.
SAMAR : Who took her away? Quien se la llevo?
BOAT CAPTAIN : The terrorist.
RESSLER : Where the hell are they?

KIRK'S PLANE

KIRK : Put Romina on the phone. I want Agnes to see her mother.
LIZ : Where is she?
KIRK : We’ll all be together soon.

Kirk gives Liz his cellphone
Agnes appears on cellphone, coos

LIZ : Hi, Agnes. Hi.

Agnes babbling

LIZ : Did you hear that? We’re gonna be together soon.

Agnes coos

LIZ : I love you.

NIKOS'S OFFICE

RED : This’ll be quick, as I have no time and less patience. Tell me where Alexander Kirk took Elizabeth Keen and her daughter... The strong silent type. You’re not doing much to break down stereotypes here.
MATO : I’m not afraid of pain.
RED : Mm. Or dying, I’m sure. You know, some years back, I was hiking Devils Tower for a bracing dip in the spiritual vortex, when who did I run into but the tribal leader of the Lakota Nation, a man of vast responsibility. He invited me to witness the extreme version of the Sun Dance ritual.
MATO : Not just anyone can attend the Sun Dance.
RED : True, and you can’t get a table at The Fat Duck without a reservation. But I find in either case, a generous donation gets you in the teepee. I watched a tribal member, much like yourself, suspend himself from a cottonwood tree with flesh hooks through his chest. Three hours he dangled, skin stretched like salt water taffy, while he left his body to communicate with the Great Spirit. Like you, the man on that tree didn’t fear death. But you know what terrified him? The thought of eternity on earth, trapped in a dark box, surrounded by rotting flesh, forever. I hear that’s why some Native people leave spirit holes in their caskets, to allow their souls to pass on to the next great hunting ground in the sky.

Cuckoo clock chiming

RED : After I shoot you, sir, you will be locked in an airtight, concrete crypt, unless you tell me what I need to know before those figures stop dancing.

Music playing

MATO : Kirk said they’re going to the Summer Palace. That’s all I know.
RED : Yes. I know the Summer Palace.

Music continues playing
Heard from next room where Tom and Kate wait: Gunshot 

SUMMER PALACE

 

LIZ : What is this place?
KIRK : It’s yours. It belongs to you and Agnes, of course. It’s a lovely location to raise a little girl, don’t you think?
LIZ : The armed goons don’t do much for the landscape.
KIRK : Well, the coercion was necessary and temporary. All I ever intended to do was show you, prove to you who you are, who I am. And then you can choose for yourself.
LIZ : Like a Russian fairy tale.
KIRK : That’s right. Excuse me, Elizabeth. I have much more to show you, but my physician is waiting for me.
KATYA : Hello, Elizabeth. My name is Katja. You can think of me as the Palace Keeper.
LIZ : Palace? The Summer Palace. It’s what Mr. Kirk calls the cottage. Anything you need during your stay, let me know.

COOPER'S OFFICE /NIKOS'S OFFICE

On phone

COOPER : Director Cooper.
RED : I know where Elizabeth is, Harold, where Kirk is taking Agnes. Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Kirk owns a cottage there where he would go to escape the dreary summers in Novosibirsk.
COOPER : Are they hurt? Injured?
RED : I don’t know and I can’t find out. I’m deep in the heart of Amarillo, Texas. How quickly can your people get there?
COOPER : Agents Ressler and Navabi are flying back from Miami. I can redirect their plane.
RED : I’ll send you a location.

He hangs up

NIKOS'S OFFICE

Kate, referring to cleaning up the death scene

KATE : I’ll handle this quickly.
RED : You always do, Kate.

SUMMER PALACE

KATYA : Can I get you something else?
LIZ : Yes. My daughter.
KATYA : I understand, Elizabeth. I know some of what you’ve been through, but little Agnes will be here soon. And when she’s here, you will need your strength.
LIZ : Tell me about Kirk. How long have you known him?
KATYA : I have worked here for nine years. I took over from my mother. She worked my entire childhood maintaining the Summer Palace.
LIZ : So you know him well?
KATYA : No, actually, I don’t. He hasn’t visited here in years. It’s been… too painful for him. Until now.

 Liz investigates the cottage. She finds a Russian children’s book on a table in a library

She walks past the room where Kirk is receiving medical care

MASHA'S BEDROOM
Liz enters a room for a young girl. On a child-sized table with dolls seated on small chairs, she finds a drawing of a little girl holding hands with her parents. It is the same painting seen in her memories of the fire evoked during the memory recall session and in flashbacks. But it is whole, unscorched, pristine
Footsteps approach. It is Kirk

LIZ : This was my bedroom.
KIRK : Welcome home, Masha. I promised you the truth.
LIZ : But… there was a fire. I… I shot my father. I remember.
KIRK : What’s the memory of a small child? You didn’t remember me or your mother or this room. Reddington lied to you, Masha. He told you your father was dead, but thanks to you– what you did on the water– I’m very much alive. All the stories Reddington’s told you about who he is and his connection to you– he knew you were looking for answers and he took advantage of that to re-enter your life. But the answers you’ve been looking for are here. Reddington, he was in love with your mother and he’s obsessed with you.

LIZ : But it can’t be true.
KIRK : But you know it is. I’m sorry. I said too much. You must be feeling overwhelmed. I’ll go and check on your daughter’s arrival. Do you know why I call this cottage the Summer Palace? We came here for a vacation one July, and my little princess loved it. It’s been a palace ever since.

Liz finds a copy of the photo of herself as a child on a swing with her mother. She flashes to: A small, dark-haired girl peering out the window to see the very swing in the photo.

GARDEN

Liz goes outside and the swing is there. She walks up to it. She recalls her mother telling her (in Russian) that she is burying a “time machine” (in a coffee tin) in the garden near the swing. Young Liz has brought “treasures” including a Russian nesting doll. Her mother adds her own yarn bracelet to the tin, puts the cover on, and buries it.

Russian dialog with subtitles

KATARINA:  There you are. Did you bring some treasures? – Oh, these are beautiful! This is a time machine. One day you will come back here, open it, and remember me. 
MASHA : Yes, Mommy. 

In the present time, Liz digs and finds the tin. She takes our her mother’s yarn bracelet and puts it on.

Suddenly, an FBI helicopter appears overhead
Tires screech, car doors close

Ressler and other agents run toward the front of the cottage

RESSLER : Spread out! Come on, let’s go!

Man shouts indistinctly

Gunshots 

RESSLER : Return fire!
GUARD : Aah!

One of Kirk’s guards tumbles off a balcony

FBI : Move in! Move in!

SUMMER PALACE

An armed agent encounters Liz in the house, points his rifle at her

FBI : Hands in the air! In the air!
RESSLER : Stand down! Stand down, she’s one of ours. Secure the house. Find Kirk. Find that child.

Liz and Ressler stare at each other for an endless second

OUTSIDE THE SUMMER PALACE

Samar on radio with Resler. Liz is being led toward a police vehicle when she sees Ressler

Liz is listening

SAMAR : He’s gone, and if Agnes is with him, she’s gone, too.

Liz and Ressler hug

Liz sobs

LIZ'S SAFEHOUSE
A black SUV pulls up in front of an industrial-looking building. Liz and Ressler get out. Baz is there

BAZ : He’s waiting for you inside.
LIZ : Where are we?
BAZ : Home. Your home.

Red has been observing Liz’s arrival from his car. Briefly, Red and Liz make eye contact. He offers a faint hint of a smile. Her look is chilly

Red Turns away, to Dembe

RED : Let’s go.

Red rolls up his window

Baz escorts Liz through the almost-empty building

LIZ : What is this place?

A warm light appears, an apartment in a remote part of the facility

Tom is there

They embrace
Crying

TOM : I’m gonna find her.

FOREST

Dembe drives Red and Kate through a deeply wooded area

Red to Dembe

RED :  Stay with the car.

Red and Kate walk into the woods

RED : There are places back here that have never borne a human footprint. 53,000 acres of virgin wilderness, all but one owned by the Bureau of Land Management. One acre, a jewel. A single buildable acre. Like a flawless diamond set in a sea of emeralds. The real estate equivalent of a unicorn. I acquired it some years ago from a family who had held it in trust for over a century and a half.
KATE : Beautiful.
RED : Yes.

He stops

RED : You understand, Kate, that I–
KATE : Have no choice? Isn’t that the speech, Raymond? That I know too much? Every single one of your weaknesses, all your faults, all your secrets. I dedicated my life to you. You entrusted me with everything you value– your freedom, your life, a child. I have never failed you. What you see as a betrayal of trust was actually a fulfillment of your wishes, to protect your interests. No more, no less.
RED : You presumed to decide what was best for me. Even if I resolve the anger, the pain you caused… I can’t trust you. Ever. I’m standing before a stranger. And yet, I know you believe what you did was best for Elizabeth, which is why I brought you here. You’ve told me you’ve always wanted a pristine, unspoiled place to live out your days in peace. So the acre is yours. For all eternity.

Red cocks gun, gunshot  

Kate spins and collapses, face first, arm outstretched

Red turns around and walks away

Kate’s right hand moves, grasping a handful of grass
