Okay.

Ohh...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Hello?

Detective? It's Judge
Dockery. Do you have a minute?

I just pulled into my
driveway. It's been a day.

- What's up?
- I need to talk to you in person right away.

- It's about a case.
- Which case?

Just come to my house. I'll
explain when you get here.

Please hurry. I'm scared.

Judge Dockery?

Front door was open!

Is every...

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

Alice?

Can I give you this?

Yeah.

There you go. There you go.

Heya, Herbie!

Ah. This
is for later.

Thought you were
getting in later.

I caught the earlier
Northeast Regional.

Oh, w-why would you
take the Regional?

So much needless stopping.

There's no such thing as
a needless stop, Herbie.

Time is the ultimate luxury,

a thing to be savored,

not hoarded, nor
compressed, nor controlled,

as if any of us can control
time in the first place.

Anyway, I'm sure you
didn't invite me down here

to debate the merits of
public transportation...

or to watch you housekeep.

No, yeah, no. Of course.

Man, I-I-I will
never get used to

the crushing volume of stuff
required for someone so small.

And why does all of it have to
make noise? You know what I mean?

Like, I am surrounded by
pink, plastic torture devices.

It can be that way
with dogs, too.

I know a miniature
Dachshund, Larry.

That little guy's
got tons of stuff.

Oh, uh, Holly made sure
you had clean sheets

on the spare bed and extra
towels in the bathroom.

Ah, don't worry about me.
Where is Holly, by the way?

I was hoping to catch her band.

What are they called again?
The Vegan-somethings.

The, uh... Uh, no, the,
uh... No. Meat Vegans!

- The Vitameatavegemins.
- Ah.

Yeah. Post-punk klezmer.

She's got a gig in
Charlotte tonight.

You married the
Jewish Debbie Harry.

Oh, well, maybe Debbie Harry
is the Jewish Debbie Harry.

I wouldn't know. But
good for you, Herbie.

Now, tell me why I'm here.

Need your advice, Red.

I'm not sure if you
know about the murder

of Judge Alice Dockery
a few weeks back.

She was killed shortly after
presiding over the trial

of the infamous mob
boss Paul Bruno,

now spending his golden
years in federal prison.

Bruno's son, Paul Jr., was
charged with the judge's murder.

His defense lawyer wants me to
consult on the forensics of the case.

Retribution is their theory.

From what I know of Paul Sr.,

retribution is a dish he
generally serves cold.

This crime is...
decidedly hot.

He has nothing to gain by tasking
his only son with a revenge killing.

Yeah, I mean, I agree.

But the thing is, everybody
in law enforcement

sees this as an
open-and-shut case.

They're hungry to take down the whole
Bruno family, and this is their ticket.

But if I accept this job
and go against the tide,

defying the entire NYPD
and defending the Brunos,

I'm... I'm just not sure
I have it in me to be

the lone David going up against
that particular Goliath again.

Maybe you won't have
to. Give me a second.

Yeah.

So you're in town?

A quick in-and-out, Harold.
Just visiting a friend.

Does that friend have anything to
do with our Wujing predicament?

Because I've been
thinking we should...

I've got Wujing covered
for now, Harold.

This has to do with
something else.

The Judge Dockery
murder in New York?

I know the one.

Bruno's son took her out after
she sentenced his father to life.

From what I hear, they've
got him dead to rights.

In my experience, things
that are that obvious

are often obvious for a reason.

Are you saying the
NYPD got it wrong?

Y-You remember Herbie
Hambright, my associate,

the forensics whiz who
came to your aid before?

He's been approached by
Bruno's defense team.

And from what he's seen so far,

he's not inclined to believe
Junior's the culprit either.

And you're inclined
to believe Herbie?

- I am.
- We'll look into it.

Judge Dockery was a
venerated legal mind.

All of law enforcement owes
it to her to get this right.

We're wasting time on
a cut-and-dried case

because of a Reddington hunch

about his pal, a
convicted mob boss?

Reddington doesn't have
a dog in this fight.

Herbie, the guy who helped us
run down that fingerprint from

the Secret Service case, brought
it to Reddington's attention.

Herbie believes the case
isn't as cut and dried

as everybody seems to think.

Look, everyone knows that
this was just payback

on the one judge who
finally had the stones

to put away the
legendary Paul Bruno Sr.

That may be, but when
the stakes are this high

is precisely when details
tend to get overlooked.

Let's take a quick peek
under the hood of the case.

If the facts support Junior as
the perpetrator, no harm done.

Well, the lead detective
on the Bruno case,

Patrick Fleming, also found the
judge murdered at the scene.

Let's start there.

Have him walk us through
the investigation.

The letters B-R-U-N-O were
typed out on the keyboard.

Her bloody fingerprints
on the keys.

I don't know how the FBI does
it, but where I come from,

that's what we call
irrefutable evidence.

Yeah, well, we're just curious.

- What? You think I'm not?
- Alice was my friend.

I'm starting to wonder

if I should take offense to what
you two seem to be suggesting.

Nobody's suggesting
anything here, all right?

Look, Judge called
me that night,

told me to come over quick,

that she just learned
something about a case.

She was terrified.

I never heard her like that.

Paul Bruno Jr.
Had been tailing

and intimidating her for months

throughout his
dad's entire trial.

We have video evidence of Junior

parked outside her house,
her office, her gym.

The guy's a hothead.

That's obviously what
she was spooked about.

Would you mind if we take
a look at your case files?

Knock yourself out.

You'll just come to the
same conclusion we did.

Usually when somebody appears and
says they're taking me to their boss,

I assume it's someone
I screwed over.

But I'm relieved to say

I have absolutely no idea
who the hell you are.

I am Wujing.

I've long been a fan of the
legend that is Robert Vesco.

A man of great escapes
and even greater mystery.

I myself recently
broke out of prison,

and I imagine there's a
lot I could learn from you.

Well, if you summoned me here
to give you a master class

on life on the lam,
you got the wrong guy.

Like they say, those
who can't do, teach.

So if you don't mind, maybe
we could put the hood back on

and you guys can drop me off
someplace I can get a bite to eat.

Are you aware of Raymond Reddington's
association with the FBI?

First off, it's none of your
business what I'm aware of.

And, secondly, any
criminal worth their salt

cultivates relationships with
certain... amenable authorities.

Raymond Reddington has the
deepest pockets in Christendom

and the biggest reach.

Of course, he
greases the wheels.

Oh.

Reddington's doing
much more than that.

I would say it's less a "friends
with benefits" arrangement

than a long-term
relationship that your pal

has gotten himself into
with the U.S. government.

Have you heard the name
Elizabeth Keen? Hm?

Of course, Reddington's
well-connected with the FBI.

Hell, his former bodyman, Dembe
Zuma, is working for them now,

with a shiny gold
badge and everything!

Mmm.

Call me when you have
an actual revelation.

The FBI has a top
secret Task Force

sanctioned at the highest
levels of government

whose sole focus is to
bring down criminals like us

with the personal help
of Raymond Reddington.

In fact, that very team

was behind your last arrest.

And you got this
information how?

From Reddington's own
attorney, Marvin Gerard,

now deceased, as you know...

also thanks to Reddington.

I suppose you should
consider yourself lucky

- that he only sent you back to prison.
- Hm.

Reddington is
working with the FBI,

using all of us, including you,

as collateral he trades on,

chits to play for his,
and only his, gain.

Ask yourself

how he's always wriggled
out of every net.

And why are you
telling me this now?

Because I'm assembling a team

of talented and
motivated individuals

whom, like yourself,
Reddington has betrayed.

A man like you would be a
true asset to the cause,

one I think you will
find very rewarding.

I wanted to let you know Agent
Zuma's not coming in today,

so the two of you
will be on your own.

- Is he okay?
- I sent him home early yesterday,

and he's still not feeling
great this morning.

Where are we on
the Dockery case?

Herbie might have had a point about
the detectives rushing to judgment,

but we can't yet determine whether any
mistakes were made in the investigation.

On its face,

the evidence against Bruno
Jr. Looks pretty solid.

Maybe someone who appeared in her
courtroom wanted to settle a score.

What about the leads that
weren't investigated?

Ressler, request files
for all the cases

that the Judge has presided
over the last couple of years.

And, Agent Malik,
Reddington said

that Herbie submitted
requests for discovery

in the Judge's murder case,
but there's a backlog.

That, or it's being
slow-walked to him.

I'll make sure we get
everything to Herbie ASAP.

Good. Reddington seems to think that Herbie
might be able to see things others don't.

On that note, let's play the
particulars of our relationship

with Reddington
close to the vest.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Uh...

I'm supposed to be
dropping some things

for an associate of
an associate of mine.

D... Are you Herbie?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I believe that I'm...

the associate of your associate.

- But, um...
- Cute baby.

Oh, thank you. Thanks. Yeah.

She's been a howler monkey
from hell this morning.

Yeah, every morning.
You have kids?

No.

Uh, yeah. Sorry. Forgive
me. Come on in. Come in.

So... how old is she?

Ah, she's almost one. Whee!

Herbie, the water
pressure in that shower

could strip the hide
from an elephant.

Oh, good. You've met Siya.

Siya, this is Herbie.

So the F-B-freaking-I?

Oh, Siya's just a good friend.

She has quite an
in with the Bureau.

So, Herbie, are these
materials gonna work for you?

Um. Here.

I-I'm good.

- Here.
- Okay.

Here you go. Ah.

- Yes.
- Thank you.

Okay. Uh, w-what?

This is literally everything
I've been asking for.

How did you get your
hands on this so fast?

Fast hands, I guess.

Thank you for stopping by, Siya.

Tell the boss hello for me.

Will do.

Okay. Well, have
at it, Herbie.

I've got a 10 a.m. train
back to Penn Station.

Okeydokey. I'll see you later.

Perhaps I could
leave this with you.

Ooh. No.

I was thinking you'd just
take that back to New York.

Okay.

No, no, no. No, no. I got her. I got
her. I got her. I got her. Come here.

I
despise that judge.

There wasn't a day I
didn't sit in my cell

fantasizing about all the ways

I could get to her
as soon as I got out.

And it just so happens that you were
released the week she was killed.

Yeah. It's called
good behavior.

I went straight to
Vegas to marry my girl.

Here.

Ain't she pretty?

Those are time- and
date-stamped, by the way.

I got a marriage certificate,
an invoice from the Flamingo.

We got up to a, uh,
lot of marital business

in that hotel room, I
can promise you that.

We're gonna need to see hard
copies of... all of this.

Yeah, I bet you will.

Judge Dockery gave
me my life back,

bravely defying those who wished to see
me punished for a crime I didn't commit.

She offered me a fair trial in
what can be a very unfair world.

I was devastated by
the news of her death.

- I was hoping to work with her more in the future.
- Right.

You, um, intersected with Judge
Dockery after you were acquitted?

I launched a legal
justice foundation

after my acquittal and asked
Judge Dockery to join the board.

Did she accept your offer?

She couldn't, for
professional ethics reasons.

She was a brilliant legal mind.

It really is such
a profound tragedy.

You lost everything
when your husband got locked up.

Houses, cars,
country-club memberships.

Now, who's to blame for that?

Him. My husband's
to blame, the moron.

He did the insider trading.

And I thought he
was watching porn

all those nights in his office.

Turns out he was being naughty
in a much less interesting way.

Where
were you on the 8th?

A charity gala.

It was a pity invite
from my friend Talia.

She keeps saying I should
get back out there,

but how can I trust
a man ever again?

Call Talia. She'll tell
you I was with her.

I was crying in the
Atherton Club ladies' room

like it was prom
night or something.

And did you blame the judge

for the loss of
your dental practice

after the malpractice
conviction?

Yeah, but, honestly,
I'm glad I got stopped.

At first, it was a little
defrauding the insurers

on a bill or two, but
it spun out of control.

Unnecessary fillings.
Root canals.

I couldn't stop myself.

Getting convicted in
Judge Dockery's court

changed my path for the better.

I'm on a more...
authentic journey now.

And on the 8th?

Oh, I-I was at an
ayahuasca ceremony

led by native Shipibo healers.

An intention reset.

Highly recommend.

Right.

Hey.

That was a bust.

What is that now...
11 interviews?

Nobody seems to have
had it in for the Judge

or even been in the
area that night.

Right now it feels
like this case

is exactly as it appears to be.

Occam's razor.

The Judge led us directly
to her killer, Bruno Jr.

Hello.

Siya. Hey, it's Herbie.

Um, you said to call
if I needed anything.

Yeah, of course. What is it?

I just made my way
through the files.

There is something
you gotta see.

Be right there.

Shh. I
finally got her asleep.

Judge Dockery couldn't have
typed "Bruno" on her laptop.

What?

I said the Judge couldn't
have typed the name "Bruno"

because her spinal
cord was severed.

"A cold from severe weather"?

Her spinal cord was severed.

The cause of death
was strangulation,

and, of course,
spinal-cord transection

from a stab wound
is fairly rare,

so no one would have paid
much attention to that injury.

But after getting stabbed,

Dockery couldn't have moved a
finger, much less her whole body.

She would have been
paralyzed instantly.

I'm still having
trouble hearing you.

So the Judge
would have been paralyzed!

Oh. Ha, ha, ha.

Oh, that's very funny. Very...

Oh, God.

Oh, I can't wait
till Mommy gets back

to deal with her demon spawn.

Right, cutie? Yes.
Okay. Daddy's here.

All right. Okay.

- Cooper.
- Hi. It's me.

Herbie was right
to be skeptical.

Turns out Judge Dockery couldn't
have typed her killer's name.

It would have been
medically impossible.

So someone intentionally put Junior
in the frame for the killing.

10-4, Siya.

Let's arrange a prison
visit with Bruno Sr.,

see if he has any idea who
that somebody might be.

Ohh. Look. It's the Feds.

This must be my birthday.

Easy. I come in peace.

Here to talk about your son.

Oh, my son?

The son you got locked
up for no good reason.

Oh, like killing the judge who
finally put you away for good?

Junior didn't kill nobody.

Not that you stronzi
care about the truth.

Hmm, well, that's
where you're wrong.

We think your son
might have been framed.

Oh, you don't say.

Gonna try to convince me
the Pope's Catholic next?

This is what I've been
telling these people

since they picked up
my boy. He's innocent!

Then tell me.

Who would have wanted to
set him up for this murder?

I've been trying to
figure it out myself.

Because once I do...

What about your rivals?

I made peace with the Decanios
and Tortorellas before I went in.

So nobody but your
son had motive?

Look, if we were
gonna whack the Judge,

don't you'd think we
would have done it

before she sent us up the river?

Sure, we kept eyes on her,

but only because
people make mistakes.

A lady like her
makes a mistake...

Scores some blow, kicks
a puppy in the belly...

Whatever.

And maybe we got ourselves
grounds for a mistrial.

Did she make a mistake?

I don't know about that.

She definitely had secrets.

Such as?

Look, if your son
didn't do this,

I need to be able to prove it.

The Judge had a lover.

She was real wrapped
up when she died.

My son and his crew
said they saw her

go into the Sussex Hotel
a couple of times a week.

Come out later with
a smile on her face.

Wasn't because of the lunch
special, if you catch my drift.

We processed this scene
already... thoroughly!

Don't you guys have anything better to do
with your time than undermine me and my team?

Catch some criminals maybe?

Look, we're on the
same side here, buddy.

Right, "buddy"... The
side that has Bruno Jr.

In jail awaiting trial for
the murder he committed.

We believe Judge Dockery

may have been in a relationship
at the time of her death.

Nope. We worked that angle.
There was no relationship.

- Did you actually find any evidence?
- Not yet.

That's because if there was
anything, we'd have found it.

Agent Ressler, I
think you should see this.

I guess you didn't find that.

- Tell me those are personal letters.
- Unfortunately, no.

Seems like standard work-related
correspondence and financial documents.

Except for this.

"You're going to pay
for what you allowed

to happen in your courtroom,

letting a murderer walk
free while our Emma,

with all that promise,
is all but forgotten.

Her disappearance will not go
unanswered, nor will your part in it.

I will not rest until
you get what you deserve.

Watch yourself."

So, not a love letter, then?

He sounds like an angry guy.

Signed by a Frederick Moody.

Just a couple weeks before
the Judge was killed.

Emma Moody. That was one of
the Judge's cases we looked at.

I spoke to the accused
myself, Anton Johnston.

He was exonerated and
started a legal fund.

Maybe Moody was
overwhelmed with grief

and decided it was time
to punish somebody.

I worked with Judge
Dockery a lot.

She got threats all the
time. Par for the course.

I doubt that means anything.

Either way, we're gonna
pay Mr. Moody a visit.

Like I said, I
don't care what it costs.

Raymond!
Where are you?

I'm in here!

We need that equipment to
finish construction on schedule.

No more delays. Am I
making myself clear?

Good. Thank you.

I was just headed out.

Uh, we need to talk.

Okay.

I had a meeting

with a man who calls
himself Wujing.

And?

And he had some curious
things to say about you.

Most people do.

He said you were
working with the Feds.

No. Wait. It
sounded more like...

you were working for the Feds,

that you were hand-delivering
our colleagues to them

like cheese puffs on
a silver platter...

and that I was
one of those puffs

and that you had had me
hand-delivered to prison.

And what did you
have to say to that?

Well, I told him
I didn't buy it.

But he seemed pretty convinced.

So convinced, in fact, that he's
spending every waking moment

searching for evidence of
your supposed arrangement

with the government.

And when he has it,
he will come for you

with the gleeful assistance
of all the criminals

you've served up to
the FBI over the years.

That's crazy, right?

Hm. Please.

Yep. I sent that
letter. So what?

You wrote that Judge Dockery was
going to pay for what she did.

He didn't mean it like that.
He was just blowing off steam.

You ever lose someone, Agent?

You threatened a judge.

Judge Dockery didn't
care about justice.

She let that
spoiled rich monster

who took our daughter walk.

You're referring
to Anton Johnston?

Emma's hair and DNA
were found in his car.

He claimed he just
gave her a ride

to meet a friend at a bar,
but we know he was lying.

Because Emma never
showed up at that bar.

Because he did something to her.

In his testimony,
Mr. Johnston didn't deny

that your daughter
was in his car.

They had offices in
the same building,

and he offered Emma a ride so she
didn't have to walk in a downpour.

All of which can be confirmed by
a text she sent to her friend.

So where is she then?

You're just like every other
tool of the injustice system.

"Reasonable doubt." Ha!

What about common sense?

She was in his car
and now she's gone!

It's no wonder people
feel they're better off

taking things into
their own hands.

Is that what you
did, Mr. Moody?

Where were you the night the
Judge Dockery was murdered?

He was with me.

Can anyone else verify that?

I wore this necklace
throughout the trial.

Emma had an identical one.

It was our thing. A
little joke between us.

We bought them at a street fair.

Emma always said I should
have gotten my own name,

but there wasn't a "Janice"
necklace on the rack,

so I picked her name.

Just like I did
when she was a baby.

Oh, God. My baby.

You
both happy now?

I'm sorry. Where did you
get that flower from?

It's from a bouquet I
found on the nightstand

in Emma's apartment
after she disappeared.

It reminds me of when
she wasn't missing.

When she was full of life, had
a huge career ahead of her.

She wanted to be
a public defender.

It's ironic, isn't it?

She believed in the power of the
law to change people's lives.

Weren't flowers similar to this

found at the Judge's
murder scene?

Mr. Moody, don't leave town.

In the meantime, though, we're
gonna need to borrow this.

These are definitely
calla lilies.

This one looks the same,
but I'm not absolutely sure.

Why don't we ask
Herbie to examine it?

He seems to have a wide
range of forensic expertise.

Give him a call.

Hello,
Herbie. This is Siya.

Hey! Siya. This is Herbie.

I know. I just said,
"Hello, Herbie."

Hold on. I'm putting you on speaker
so the rest of the team can join.

Team? What team?

Hello, Herbie. This is Harold.
I'm an associate of Siya's.

We're here with another
member of our team, Donald.

Wow. You guys are all
working the Dockery case?

- We are.
- Cool. Wow.

Thank you for that analysis
of Judge Dockery's injuries.

There have been some other
developments in the case

we'd like your expertise
on if possible.

Yeah, sure thing.

Um, I'm headed out to
practice right now.

Finally getting a little
break from the kid.

A little foosball.

I'm... I'm
sorry. Uh, foosball?

It's something you
need to practice?

When you're preparing
for a tournament, you do.

So there's foosball
tournaments, huh?

Yes, it's not just fraternity
parties and sports bars.

You know what? I'm
getting a little tired

of the constant dismissal
of the sport, quite frankly.

I'd imagine you are.

Anyway, Herbie, we've zeroed
in on a case Judge Dockery

was presiding over a few
months before she was killed...

The disappearance and
presumed murder of Emma Moody.

Emma's father, Frederick
Moody, threatened the Judge

for letting the defendant,
Anton Johnston, go free.

Moody's alibi isn't rock-solid,

but, more importantly,
we found a flower

in his daughter's possession that
she had right before she disappeared.

And this flower looks
very much like those

that we found at the
Dockery murder scene.

Do you think you can confirm
that they're the same?

Can you send me a photo
of the new flower?

Okay.
Photo on the way.

When we spoke with
Anton Johnston,

did he mention any threats
after the acquittal?

Maybe Moody also tried
to intimidate him.

He didn't mention it.

Johnston credited the Judge
with giving him his life back

after being wrongly accused.

They crossed paths at a
charity event after the trial.

He seemed genuinely
dismayed by her murder,

offered to help in
any way he could.

Let's take him up on that offer.

Hey, these are definitely
the same species of lily

as the ones from
the crime scene.

But there's more than
that. They're... weird.

Siya, did you take that
photograph using a filter?

- No. Why?
- I mean, obviously, you can get calla lilies

from most grocery
stores or florists,

but these have, like,
a unique shimmer.

It's like they were
sprayed with something

or some chemical process
interfered with their development,

which that would
be super unusual.

And I... I need to run
some tests to be sure,

but they definitely seem to
come from the same source.

Can I physically examine
the lily from the Moodys?

Not right now, of course.

Oh. Because of foosball.

Victory never sleeps.

We'll have the specimen ready
for you after your return.

A forensics nerd who
plays competitive foosball.

Who also happens to
be happily married

to a super-hot punk-rock singer.

Well,
that confirms it.

I'm definitely doing it wrong.

How about you two drop that
flower sample off at Herbie's

on your way to Anton
Johnston's residence?

Maybe Moody also sent him
some poison-pen letters.

Wow!

What a gorgeous piece of
property you have here!

Again, I'm so sorry
my meeting went long

and we had to sit in traffic,

but I am certain
I will find a way

to make it up to you later.

I don't care how we spend the
time as long as it's together.

Oh, this is gorgeous.

Ohh.

This place really
is magnificent.

Thank you.
It was my father's.

I spent my formative years at a
boarding school in New Hampshire,

so I've only recently
become reacquainted

with the property since
my inheritance of it.

Is it strange to be
back here as an adult?

It's what my father
would have wanted.

And what about your mother?

Passed away, as well.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Don't be.

She was rarely in the picture.
Very much a career type.

Uh, what I mean is
she put her job first.

My mother was a true workaholic.

It's what led to her untimely
death, I'm certain of it.

I'm just grateful you managed

to get some time off
to be with me now.

Mm...

A toast.

To...

stolen moments.

Mm...

Mmm...

Mmm.

Waxed leather.

- Musk.
- Hm?

Mushrooms.

Perhaps a note of blue cheese?

I like a woman who doesn't mind

a little decay in
her single malt.

This is old. Very old.

Seventy-five years.

It's Macdonell.

Ohh!

I never thought I would have
the opportunity to try some.

What, at a paltry
$30,000 a bottle?

Mm. To thrill you, so
it's worth every penny.

What a
beautiful garden.

Do you have help with...

Do you have...

Oh. What a surprise.
Nice to see you again.

Agent... Malik.
I believe it was?

- And, uh?
- Agent Ressler. You mind if we come in?

Now's not a great
time, to be honest.

We only need a few minutes.

Somebody here with you?

N-No, no. Those are
from last night.

I've neglected to
tidy up. Forgive me.

So... how can I be of service?

Some new evidence has come to light
regarding the murder of Judge Dockery.

About the Bruno son?

We'd actually like to ask you
about the father of Emma Moody.

Ah. Frederick Moody.

Terrifying individual.

I-I feel for him,
of course, but...

- You two crossed paths?
- More than cross.

It may not be noted
in trial coverage,

but Moody savagely attacked me
after the not-guilty verdict.

Took three bailiffs
to pull him off.

He seemed to have a serious
problem controlling his rage.

Has he threatened
you since the trial?

I think there were one or two
angry letters. I just ignored them.

Wait.

Do we think he killed Ali?

I didn't realize you were on such
intimate terms with Judge Dockery.

- Uh, w-what do you mean?
- "Ali"?

Nicknames are usually reserved
for people in one's inner circle.

How close exactly
were the two of you?

Hey, hey! Where's...
Where are you going?

How close were you
and Judge Dockery?

Okay. Fine.

For a brief time,

Ali and I were...
romantically involved.

Why didn't you tell
me this before?

I kept quiet about it after
her death because she...

She would have hated
anyone finding out.

It would cast a salacious pall

over what was a
storied judgeship.

A judge and a former defendant?

Protecting her reputation was the least
I could do after all she had done for me.

I thought you said you were alone.

Go.

Let's go.

Agent Ressler.

Hey. It's Herbie. Siya
wasn't picking up,

so I asked Red if I
could get your number.

Not a good time, Herbie.

Wait. I-I have information
on your flowers. The shimmer.

It's unique because the nitrogen
content is off the charts.

Nitrogen alters leaf
reflectance and color,

so much so that you could spot
it from above a tree canopy

- if you had a drone or if you had...
- Still not a good ti...

The really important part
is that nitrogen content

that high can only
come from one source.

One probable source anyway.

If the field tests in
the Amazon are correct...

- and I have no reason to believe they aren't...
- Cut to the chase!

Decomposing bodies.

W-What?

Vegetation with this
unique iridescence

is grown on or near remains...

Human remains.

This, uh... It's
not what it looks like.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Are you okay?

Back against the wall!

Hey... You're okay.

Ressler!

Not another step.

We're digging up the plot
under that flower garden of yours.

Three women's bodies so far.

Emma Moody...

a television executive who went
missing eight months ago...

and another body that appears
to be that of your mother.

She was overseas frequently,
and my father wasn't exactly

the "throw the ball
around the yard" type,

so she decided to send me
away to boarding school,

which left him alone, abandoned,
spiraling into depression

until he eventually
took his own life.

And you blamed your mother
for that, didn't you?

"Mother"?

She doesn't merit the honorific.

She only ever cared
about herself.

She didn't even come home
when my father passed.

She had... "business"
in England.

Business that was tall
and dark and handsome.

Is that why you killed her?

Buried her body on the property?

Decomposing in that
garden was the only time

that woman ever
nurtured anything.

But killing your mother, it didn't
stop your pain or your anger.

So you began to target other
women who reminded you of her,

women you courted
with the very flowers

you grew in your morbid
little death plot.

Women like Emma Moody.

And Judge Dockery.

No! No.

Ali was different.

Different how?

Ali was the first woman who ever saw me
for who I am and loved me unconditionally,

the polar opposite of my mother.

She... She was my
c-cure, my salvation.

She...

She was my person.

And yet... you murdered her.

I had no choice.

I'm gonna rinse off and
then I'm going to make you

the best shrimp scampi
you have ever had.

I love you.

Mm. I love you.

Hm.

Ahh...

This better be
important. I'm...

Oh. It got moved
up to tomorrow?

Okay. Yeah. Hold on. I just
want to write this down.

Yeah, okay. I'm just...
I'm looking for a pen.

I was thinking we could open
the Montrachet Grand Cru.

Ali?

Where'd you go?

Oh,
no. Oh, no.

At that point, there
was nothing I could say.

Stay away from
me! Don't come any closer!

You were in a relationship
with Emma Moody!

What did you do
to that poor girl?

Even at the end...

I could see it in her eyes.

She still loved me.

But once you lose trust
in a relationship...

you can never get it back.

Agent Malik is transferring
Johnston to be arraigned now.

- Good work on this one.
- Herbie, too.

Without his help, we may never
have found all those bodies

that Johnston creep
buried in his garden.

Reddington was right about
Herbie's forensic know-how.

He's a weird guy, but
he's good at what he does.

Now, speaking of Reddington,
we still don't know

why the Freelancer was
broken out of prison.

And Wujing...
what's up with him?

He's a seriously bad guy, and
he's still out there, by the way.

Reddington says he's
got something brewing.

So, for now, we take
him at his word.

It's not his word
I'm worried about.

All right. I
confronted Reddington

with the information
you shared with me.

And do you know what that
snake weasel reprobate did?

Instead of denying it,
he actually confessed.

He has been working
with the Feds for years.

Just like you said.

A secret task
force just for him.

Hm. It's even named after
him, that preening egomaniac.

Ahh...

When I pressed him for the
truth, the floodgates flew open.

He's sitting there, calm
as Kool-Aid, saying,

"Robert, my dear friend,
certainly you understand."

Blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.

I said, "No, I don't." Blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.

"No, I don't
understand at all."

And to think...

I trusted that man with my life.

Well, fool me once...

Betrayal is a sin that
shouldn't go unpunished.

Don't you agree?

As much as it pains
me to say it, yes.

But it doesn't pain me.
It doesn't pain me at all!

When do we start?
