Original subtitles

Cumbernauld, 55.

(speaking farsi)

(speaking farsi)

(laughs)

(laughs)

(thud)

(woman screams)

I've told you everything I know.

Liz: You've given me pieces,

You've helped around the margins,

But I need more. I need berlin.

How much do you think I can do from in here, liz,

Chained to the floor?

You need to let me go, and then I can help...

The arms supplier, I want a name.

I can try to reach out to berlin.

But as long as I am in here, I can't...

I want a name!

What month is it?

November.

Well, happy anniversary, liz.

You go to passionfish to celebrate?

I'm gonna freeze to death down here.

You know that, right?

Sevan...

Sevan volkov.

He rins arms for berlin's.

He'd be able to set a meeting.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

Samar: So, what exactly did reddington say?

It was dembe.

He said red had another case,

But he specifically asked that you come along.

Does that bother you?

Why would it?

I thought he only spoke to you.

Don't wanna step on your toes.

Uh, I'm fine. My toes are fine.

Ah, ladies, thank god you showed up.

I took a left turn in the rostropovich

And have ended up completely lost in the chico hamilton.

This is an addiction.

I just can't decide between...

Please pour some cold water on me, will you?

Why did you want both of us here?

Both! You're right. Thank you. Great idea.

Anyway, funny story... Stop me if you've heard it.

Persian man walks into a bar, meets a beautiful woman,

Has a few drinks. Next thing you know,

He's falling from a 12-story balcony.

I don't get it.

I imagine agent navabi does.

You're referring to kian nouri,

The iranian businessman who committed suicide in dubai.

I am, except he wasn't a mere businessman.

He was one of iran's top nuclear scientists,

In dubai to supervise purchase

Of several borehole gamma something-or-others.

And he didn't commit suicide,

He was assassinated,

In a joint cia-mossad venture

To undermine iran's nuclear program.

But then, you know this already.

My understanding is she took a little detour to dubai

For a rendezvous with mr. Nouri

So she could toss him off a building.

You killed him?

If you're asking me to comment on a mossad operation,

You know I can't do that.

I wasn't asking.

But I'm hardly one to judge.

George orwell wrote,

"those who abjure violence can do so only because

"others are committing violence on their behalf."

What a visionary.

But good lord, his books are a downer.

In any case, the bad news is

I was sharing a bowl of shisha with the misiri minister,

And they plan to retaliate.

You killed their top scientist,

They intend to kill yours.

And they've dispatched a man known as the scimitar to do it.

The scimitar?

This is not your average killer, agent keen.

He is one part hit man, two parts con man.

I'm familiar with his work.

In 2009, his target was a sunni tribal leader named majeed abd bawi.

The scimitar gained access by joining his militia.

(laughing) that's right.

Fought for the man for seven months

Until the day he got close enough

To aerate bawi's carotid with a fork.

He's dedicated, resilient, cunning,

Responsible for the murder of dozens of high-value targets.

And according to my sources,

He's already on u.S. Soil.

Harold, I'm the assistant secretary of ncb.

I run point on all international nuclear matters.

If this guy was the threat you claim,

He'd be on my radar.

Who's your source on this threat?

A confidential informant with an extremely reliable track record.

I'm afraid that's as specific as I can get.

If I'm right, what's our exposure on this?

Cloud top.

It's the classified designation for our warhead project design.

Staffed by our top three scientists.

If any of them fell into the hands of a rogue nation,

That country's nuclear program would advance decades overnight.

What kind of security protocols do you have in place?

Dss provides them with false identities,

Social security numbers, even cover professions.

We hide them in plain sight.

Sort of a witness protection for high-value assets.

That's not gonna cut it.

You need to pull these people off the streets

And into protective custody.

All right, harold.

I'll put two of them on lockdown.

I can do that without drawing too much scrutiny.

And the third?

That's gonna be a problem.

Cooper: The dod asset is amalia collins,

Senior engineer of our warhead design team.

When she's not on active status,

She serves as a professor of astrophysics at duke.

Uh, says here she's scheduled to deliver a talk tonight at a symposium

At the granville hotel.

Dod's reluctant to call it off at the last minute,

Because of the scrutiny of withdrawal.

They feel it could put her in further danger.

You mean they're not gonna pull her?

Cooper: There's no indications the iranians have any idea of her real value.

Let's make sure it stays that way.

In the meantime, we need to track this scimitar

Before he's able to id our team.

Uh, we need to talk.

I got things under control.

When's the last time you used?

Sitka. Almost a week.

This happens all the time...

Agents taking meds to get over injuries,

And then they get hooked. It's no big deal.

What are you gonna do, keen?

You gonna tell cooper I'm an addict?

I want you to get help.

And I'm telling you I can kick this on my own.

And if I can't, hell,

I'll walk into cooper's office myself.

I got no problem with that.

(cellphone vibrates)

(printer whirring)

(speaking farsi)

I got your text. What's the problem?

Zebra mussels. Fish and game

Are running random inspections for invasive species.

Zebra mussels.

Did they go inside?

They tried to, but I held them off.

But I don't know for how long.

We're gonna either have to move the boat or him.

Talk to volkov? We have a meeting this afternoon.

I brought you some warmer clothes.

Oh, that's nice.

Now you care about me.

Is that it? Now you're, uh, concerned

For my well-being?

You can try and make yourself feel better about what you're doing,

But I told you the truth.

I delivered on my word.

So when are you gonna deliver on yours?

We've been over this.

You help me eliminate berlin,

And as far as I'm concerned, this whole thing is over.

Until then, enjoy the view.

Liz...

You can't keep me in here!

Liz!

You can't keep me in here!

Damn it, liz!

Sevan volkov, thank you for meeting with me.

What choice did I have?

Berlin. I know you supply him with arms shipments.

And how do you know this?

Tell me where to find him.

If you know anything about berlin,

You know I can't do that.

Thought you might say that.

Which is why I nominated you for our most wanted list.

Cid has approved it.

We're just waiting for the director's signature.

If you're gonna arrest me, arrest me.

So you can sit silent in a cell with an expensive attorney?

I'd rather leave you out there.

Let the world know we're looking for you.

Once news of this hits the streets,

Berlin will know the u.S. Government is spending

Limitless resources and time looking for you,

A man who has intimate details about him and his business affairs.

You have two options.

Either you lead me to berlin,

Or I lead berlin to you.

How exactly did you come upon this information?

A c.I. Someone the bureau trusts.

I don't believe you.

If the bureau had a lead, they'd follow it.

You came to this on your own,

And you're hiding it from them,

Coming to me instead.

You'd rather see berlin dead than arrested.

Berlin killed meera.

He nearly killed cooper.

He put tom into my life.

So if you're asking if I'm okay with a lethal outcome,

Damn right I am.

Yeah.

If you hadn't told me you'd killed tom,

I might think he was your source.

But I did kill him.

Of course you did.

Let me know when volkov gets a time and location on berlin.

I'll be there with bells on.

What's going on?

Dod discovered a hidden surveillance camera

At their annapolis field office during a routine sweep.

How is that relevant to us?

Technology was iranian.

What were they recording?

Okay, the camera was placed outside the building

With eyes to the front entrance.

It was relaying a live stream to some offsite location.

If I reactivate it, I should be able to triangulate the location

Where the feed's being transmitted.

Oh, man.

I almost forgot.

In case someone's watching on the other end.

Phew. Okay.

Camera is live.

Okay, rdf is up.

Signal strength looks good.

Oh, accounting for time lag.

And we have a lock.

It's a property just outside new carrollton.

And it looks like it's a construction site.

Officer: Fbi!

Clear!

Trailer's secure.

Lock it down. I want eyes on all access points.

So where the hell is everyone?

No idea.

But...

Could this be the man they were surveilling?

Jonathan reese.

Agent jonathan everett reese,

Defense security services.

They've got everything on this guy...

Addresses, phone numbers, appointment history.

Dss is the division tasked with protecting our nuclear scientists.

Liz: They're logging his movements.

Probably trying to find the most vulnerable point of attack.

Ressler: It's the dss shuttle stop.

He takes the train back from annapolis every afternoon.

He'll be at the park-n-ride off route 50.

We gotta get there before they do.

(car lock chirps) (siren wailing)

Jonathan reese, fbi!

What's this about?

We need to move quickly. I'll explain in the car.

(gunshot)

Shooter's on the ridge. I don't have eyes.

(gunshots continue)

I got threat assessments this morning

About possible iranian misiri action.

They want the names and locations of cloud top personnel.

You need to notify your people,

Activate all security protocols.

(explosion)

(distorted talking)

Sir, I think we have a problem.

I can't reach agents keen or ressler.

Send a team to their last location.

Find out what the hell is going on.

(device beeping)

(groaning)

Take it easy, agent keen.

You're at bethesda.

I'm dr. Rivera.

You and your partner were in an accident.

Is he okay?

Agent ressler suffered significant head trauma in the crash.

He's had a ct scan.

Radiology will take him for an mri shortly.

My arm?

Fractured, in three places.

We set it for now, but to be honest,

You may need surgery to restore full mobility.

John reese...

The man who was in the car with us?

I'm sorry?

Nobody else was transported from the scene.

No, no, no, but he was in the car.

I'm the attending on duty. No one else was brought in.

I need a phone. (groans)

Easy. Listen.

That crash was no accident.

Understood.

I'll have one brought in right away.

We're seeing multiple 911 calls within the last hour.

They all report a black suv overturned

Just under a mile from where they picked up reese.

Cross-reference with local police activity.

Two passengers were pulled from the wreck

And were evac-ed by ambulance to bethesda national.

Only two?

A man and a woman.

We have to assume that's agent keen

And either ressler or the dod employee.

Meaning what? One of them didn't survive the crash?

Cooper: Agent navabi, I want you there as soon as possible.

I'll update mullen at dod.

Here you go. Thank you.

(dialing)

(line ringing)

Assistant director cooper.

It's me.

Agent keen.

You have no idea how good it is to hear your voice.

Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

But, uh, ressler...

He's hurt.

The iranians have john reese.

I heard some men's voices before I passed out.

They were speaking farsi.

Someone needs to find professor collins.

The dod needs to cancel that speech

And put her in protective custody now.

I've already alerted the dod.

I'm heading to the event site myself

To make sure she's on lockdown.

Agent keen,

The neurology team at bethesda is one of the best.

They'll take good care of ressler.

Agent navabi's on her way to you.

Get some rest.

Thanks for coming. I got your message.

John reese was abducted by the iranians a little over an hour ago.

We need to pull professor collins,

And I need anything you can give me on reese so we can...

Harold, I checked.

There is no dod employee named john reese.

Not in dss, not in any sector.

My people spoke to reese directly.

The iranians have his profile, his dss security badge.

I thought it might be an alias, but it's not.

He doesn't exist.

Uh, sir, just got off the phone with bethesda national.

The hospital has no record of agents keen or ressler being brought in.

I just spoke to her.

How's everything in here?

Okay.

You doing okay, hon?

(sighs) yeah.

What happened to radiology?

They were gonna take him for another scan?

Oh, I'm sure someone will be down soon.

He's your partner, isn't he?

I understand.

I'll call them right now.

(footsteps approach)

Ma'am, a... Agent keen, you can't be up.

We need to get the radiologist.

Oh, okay. Okay, you're fine.

You're all right. I'm sorry.

We need to get radiology. Let's get you back in bed.

You're fine.

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. It's all right.

You just relax.

We need to get radiology. Okay, take it easy.

Thank you.

(sighs)

I never eat anchovies unless I don't know I'm eating them.

(both chuckle)

But I have to say this is pretty delicious.

Anchovies get a bad rap.

Try the wine.

It would be better with beer.

(laughing) it might very well be better with beer.

Mmm.

Do you have kids, kenneth?

I do. A daughter.

The two of you close?

It's complicated.

She doesn't like anchovies.

(chuckles)

You know, I don't know about that.

I wish it were that simple.

My father, he and I...

My father did things I hated him for.

Things that were unforgivable.

Have you told him?

I haven't seen my father

In a long, long time.

(breathing heavily)

What have you done?

It's okay.

It's okay.

(whimpers)

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Cooper: We got played.

The scimitar created john reese.

Which means we didn't find that construction trailer,

We were led there.

Everything in that trailer was designed to make us think

John reese was dss.

Why? So when we lost him,

We would think the identity

Of our scientists was in jeopardy.

This was all done to trigger a reaction.

They isolated keen and ressler,

Made them believe that losing reese was a threat to national security.

This was all a con done to expose amelia collins.

So?

Where the heck are agents keen and ressler?

Liz: Someone needs to find professor collins.

The dod needs to cancel that speech

And put her in protective custody now.

We ran the name as soon as we heard it.

There is an astrophysics professor named amelia collins.

She is speaking today.

Granville hotel, downtown d.C.

(speaking farsi)

You need to move quickly, sir.

(speaking farsi)

(speaks farsi)

(groaning)

(groans)

(footsteps approaching)

Good news.

Hmm? Radiology called.

They'll be down for your partner in the next 20 minutes.

Oh, that's great. Thank you.

What's that?

That's just a little something

So that arm of yours doesn't get infected.

(nurse yells)

You tell me what's in the syringe,

Or I will stick it in you and find out for myself.

It's a sedative.

Please don't.

What's in his iv?

Same thing.

Okay, who are you?

Where is this hospital?

Doctor!

(struggles)

Ressler. Ressler.

Ressler! Ressler!

Can you hear me? We gotta get the hell out of here.

They're definitely not at bethesda.

Cooper went to secure professor collins.

I traced the call liz made to cooper's cell.

Their rerouting and encryption are incredibly sophisticated.

This is gonna take hours to untangle.

Okay, so what's next?

Cooper's pulled six teams from other assignments. He sent them...

(line disconnects) hello?

Dembe, it's agent navabi. We have a situation.

(chatter on radio)

(grunts) (yells)

Come on.

We gotta go now.

Samar: It's been over two hours.

I don't need to tell you his reputation.

Once he has the intelligence he needs...

Yes, I know, agent navabi.

Tell me about this lead of yours.

He's not my lead.

His name is ali hassan.

He's the target of a major mossad initiative.

I have a slight but memorable acquaintance

With mr. Hassan.

Mossad has been tracking his movements for months.

My superiors believe

He's the key to unraveling a dozen covert iranian ops.

But you think he knows where to find the scimitar.

Perhaps.

Mossad has no tolerance for any agenda except mossad's.

You'll be sanctioned for this indiscretion.

So be it.

I can't work with this task force

Unless my partners are my highest priority.

So this has become quite personal.

I understand.

But you may have an even more personal stake in this case

Than perhaps you realize.

And why is that?

Because one of the scimitar's little-known aliases

Is walid abu sitta.

Walid abu sitta is the man

Who ordered the bombing that killed my brother.

Yes. That's why I brought this case to you.

There.

(indistinct yelling)

(classical music playing)

(glass shatters)

What was that?

You hear that?

(thump)

Farid, what's going on?

(thump) farid!

Hassan! I love this club.

Son of a bitch.

Carbon fiber? Reddington, stop!

Ooh!

Stop!

Damn it. What have you done with my guard?

Farid is taking a rest.

Keep your plum covered. We're not alone.

I'll take your weapon.

I've always regretted sparing your life

That night in the strait of hormuz,

But I see pity has its rewards.

Live and learn.

Samar: You've been very careless, ali.

My unit has been surveilling you for months,

And the intelligence we've gathered has been very helpful.

So helpful that I fully expect to be disciplined

For coming here without authorization.

Just by being here, I have everything,

And therefore nothing, to lose.

What do you want?

The scimitar.

My friend here thinks you may know where to find him.

He would've needed support when he got to the states.

I'm guessing that support came from you.

I know what you must be thinking, ali.

Imagine your future.

The rest of your life spent in a dismal israeli prison,

Some dark hole they put you in,

Bending your fingers and pulling your toes

Until they forget you ever existed.

Think carefully, ali.

Because, as you are my witness,

That future will seem very bright indeed

If you don't tell us what we want to know.

(sighs)

He did make contact.

Asked to use one of my warehouses.

Said he needed building supplies.

For what, I don't know.

Reddington: Tell me about this warehouse.

(groans)

Here.

(indistinct talking)

(grunting)

Keen!

Reddington. I have them.

Director cooper? Owen doherty. We spoke on the phone.

Where are we?

Well, we went ahead and canceled the event, initiated evac protocol.

We placed collins in a holding room.

Does she have a security detail?

Yes, sir. Two on the door. Take me to her.

(knock on door)

Who is it?

Male voice: Miss collins? Fbi.

I need you to open the door, please.

Professor collins.

You are going to pay the price

For the crimes committed by your government.

But first,

You're going to help us create the weapon

That will be used to bring this country to its knees.

You said there were two men posted outside the door.

There were.

Cooper: On my ready.

Agent: Clear.

Not here, sir.

Let's just hope she's still in the building.

Nobody leaves until we find collins.

Collins is missing.

Cooper thinks she's still on-site.

Okay, listen up, folks.

We have a situation here.

We need everyone to move inside.

Now. Let's go. Please move into the lobby.

Sir? Sir?

Sir, don't move!

Hands where I can see them!

Slowly.

Hello, agent keen.

I see you've made a spectacular recovery.

(gunshots)

(people screaming)

(muffled screaming)

We've suffered a setback.

No, no, no, I'll need the full package.

New credentials, a safe house and $50,000...

No, I'll need it within the hour.

All this running around, really.

I'm so relieved when the people I'm chasing

Come to me.

(door closes)

Reddington: Agent navabi, you got my message.

We were just admiring the view.

How did you know?

Mr. Hassan provided for our friend before,

And most criminals return to the same trough

Time and time again.

Indolence, I suppose.

Personally, I make it a habit to avoid habits.

I can call it in.

Yes, I suppose you can.

The question is do you want to?

I offer him to you as a gift.

What am I supposed to do with him?

Whatever you like.

Nobody else knows he's here.

Agent keen just called.

Her source provided berlin's location.

Forgive me. I have an appointment that can't be rescheduled.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

(door opens)

(door closes)

(speaking farsi)

(speaking farsi)

You're lying.

If you think your beloved brother

Was just another faceless young man in that crowd,

You know nothing.

I will kill you.

Like kian nouri,

The scientist you murdered last week in dubai?

What do you know about my brother?

(chuckles)

There's no country insisting you do your duty.

If you kill me,

It'll be cold-blooded murder.

So call the mossad, or the cia,

Or whoever is coming and be done with it.

(sighs)

I thought for a second we might lose you back there.

The prospect of having to live without me,

That must've been terrifying.

It was.

The irony is

With all the drugs they've pumped in me,

This is the best I've felt all week.

What about that? Is that gonna be a problem?

I just got a call from mpd harbor patrol.

They fished a man's body out of the anacostia.

It matches your description of the scimitar.

Get there.

Yes, sir.

I'll catch up.

(mark lanegan's bleeding muddy water playing)

(sighs)

We'll see how that pans out.

The information I gave you

Is good.

Volkov will lead to berlin,

Reddington will kill berlin,

And my value to you will end.

And then what?

You gonna turn me in, liz?

Lose your job? Go to jail?

(scoffs)

The only way to get me out of your life, liz, is to let me go,

Because if you kill me,

If you go through with it,

Then we'll be linked forever.

Even if you get away with it,

Even if nobody ever finds out,

You're always gonna have to live with it.

I know you were expecting volkov.

But as luck would have it, he sold you out to agent keen.

It's surprising she came to me instead of the bureau

With the hope that I would kill you.

I have other plans.

First, understand,

I didn't have to come here alone.

In fact, I didn't have to come here at all.

I could've sent seven men and put an end to this war.

Why didn't you?

Because this entire affair,

Every ounce of pain and suffering

That all of us have endured,

Has been the result of a tragic

And, frankly, mysterious misunderstanding.

One I intend to correct.

There's not much left I truly cherish in this world,

But I swear on those few things

I still hold dear,

I did not kill your daughter.

Words, words.

The greater the words, the larger the lie.

My daughter is dead,

But yours...

My men tell me you've been spending a lot of time together.

Maybe when I've done to your daughter

What you did to mine,

We can finally be even.

I'm sorry.

Is this the daughter you're referring to?

Because she's not my daughter.

She's yours.
