<i>Previously on The Blacklist...

</i>

<i>You said that you were

on official business</i>

when you encountered

Mr. Ames on the ship the Phoenix.

You're the target of

a federal murder investigation.

Do you really think the best choice

at this point is to shut me out?

I strongly advise you do not

commit perjury to protect her.

You ask me a question

and I answer it.

Are we finished?

<i>A discharged bullet

found at the scene</i>

<i>it's a match to
Agent Keen's firearm.</i>

Let's talk about Tom Keen.

My ex-husband is dead.

I just need
to go back in okay?

- I don't care what it is. I'll take anything.

- How's your German?

You trained him

to ba deep-cover operative.

It's all he's ever done.

When one operation ends

he comes back to you

for another.

What do you want?

I want Tom Keen.

You know what that is?

Looks like a bullet.

It's<i> your</i> bullet.

A forensics team

pried it from the floorboards

of the<i> Phoenix.</i>

Ballistics matched it
to your FBI-issued mm.

There's more.

The crime lab

found trace amounts of blood

belonging to Samuel Aleko.

Here's the report.

See for yourself.

Why are you showing me this?

Because it contradicts
every word

that's come out of your mouth

since you walked in here.

Because at a minimum

it is direct evidence
of your perjury

and I'm trying to decide

if it should be exhibit A
in your murder trial.

You made it very clear

you never saw Samuel Aleko

on the<i> Phoenix.</i>

I suppose shooting the man

must have slipped your mind.

I sat right here and told you

exactly what happened.

Maybe Wilcox
is fabricating evidence

to support his case.

You know my record Agent Keen.

There's no love lost between me

and the federal government.

That said I do recognize

that exceptional measures

are sometimes required

to preserve our security.

Talk to me.

Enough lies.

I see.

Well in that case

you really leave me

no alternative.

I can't shield your actions

in the name of national security

if you insist on concealing

the truth of those actions.

I did not kill Eugene Ames.

That's the only truth

you need to know.

Well a jury
may feel differently.

And something tells me

we're about to find out.

We're done.

I'll issue my ruling

in the morning.

Die Entrechteten.

Really Aram.

These misanthropes
have been on<i> my</i> radar for years.

The FBI must have

some kind of file.

No. We do. I'm just finalizing

some of the translations.

Just a few more seconds.

I'm sorry. I admit

I don't quite follow this plan.

Agent Keen
is facing an indictment

for a murder she didn't commit.

I've found us a lead

on the whereabouts

of the one man

who can exonerate her--

<i>Tom</i> Keen.

Wait-- what?

Tom Keen is dead.

He was shot and killed

months ago.

No. Agent Keen shot him

but she didn't kill him.

In what may be

Agent Keen's single greatest

lapse in judgment

she<i> saved</i> the imposter

pretending to be
her devoted husband

opting instead
to hold him captive

in the rusty hull

of an abandoned ship.

Please tell me
you made that up.

The harbormaster found Tom.

He was gonna go to the police

so Tom killed him to keep Liz

from going to prison.

That is...

Insane?

I was going to say

"extremely romantic."

If we can bring Tom back

and get denner to realize

that Tom killed Eugene Ames

then maybe we can still

stop Liz from being indicted.

Okay. Here we go.

According to
our assets in Dresden

you are looking at

the leadership structure

of Die Entrechteten.

What the hell does that mean?

"The Disenfranchised."

They may look like

common street thugs

but don't underestimate

their authority.

They're racists
masquerading as patriots.

"Germany for Germans."

On the surface they're

all about anti-immigration

and preservation
of the Aryan race

but look a little deeper

and you'll find they care

far less about white power

than they do about white<i> powder.</i>

They're drug dealers?

Among the most ruthless

in Europe.

Somewhere along the line

they realized that keeping

German neighborhoods white

is more than politics.

It's economics.

These guys are fighting

a street war.

Interpol estimates
at least a dozen

drug-related homicides
in the last year alone.

You're telling me that Tom Keen

the four-eyes
who taught third grade

is walking into that?

How do we find him?

I can check but I don't think

we have any friends

on the inside.

<i>I</i> do.

- I'm coming with you.

- No you're not.

She's my partner
and you might need a hand

from this side of the law

to clear her name.

You open your mouth Donald

and hay flies out.

You look and feel and smell

like cop.

You are what you are.

It's admirable.

But this is<i> my</i> world

and you're a tourist.

You blink wrong

we are both dead

and your partner

goes to prison.

I'll keep my mouth shut

and stay out of the way.

What's going on?

Agent Ressler and I

were just discussing

travel arrangements.

What are you doing here?

We found Tom.

We're gonna make him come back

tell the judge

that you're innocent.

Can we talk?

What are you doing?

Whatever it takes
to keep you safe.

Finding Tom
will not keep me safe.

I lied to the court.

We can handle
the perjury count.

It's the murder charge

I'd like to avoid.

How?

Judge Denner's right.

I covered it up.

At the very least

I'm an accessory after the fact.

Listen to me.

Juries care about intent.

You didn't<i> intend</i>

to kill the harbormaster.

That was<i> Tom's</i> decision.

Right now that judge

may think you're guilty

and it's not easy

to let a cold-blooded killer

go free

even in the name

of national security.

But a cold-blooded killer

you are not.

If we can prove
Tom is responsible

it might just tip the scales.

It's my fault. I never

should have put him there.

He'll go to prison
for the rest of his life

because of me.

One step at a time Lizzy.

He's not gonna come back.

He will.

This journey we're on

isn't over just yet.

<i>You</i> may have given up on us

but<i> I</i> haven't.

Ruddiger!

I heard the good news!

Good news?
I'm in rehab.

Precisely.

It requires a great deal of

courage and intestinal fortitude

for a man to take

that first step toward sobriety.

I couldn't do it myself.

It was court-ordered.

I got drunk and crashed

my daughter's Passat.

She'll never speak to me again.

What's the ninth step again?

Make amends
to those you harmed?

What do you want?

You do any business

with Die Entrechteten?

No.

But I do know others who<i> have.</i>

Arms dealer name of Kohl.

Splendid.

Perhaps you could put me

in touch with him.

You best try a ouija board.

He was assassinated-shot dead in his car.

They do business now

with an Austrian--

Becker I think.

Since when did a pack of

stuempers like Die Entrechteten

get access
to military hardware?

Word is
they recruited a new boy.

They're looking
for F machine guns.

You know where or when?

No.

But if you wire some cash

into my patient account

they'll let me use the phone.

I'll ask around.

- Thank you Max.

- Yeah.

And remember-one day at a time pal.

So the man we're looking for

is a Franz Becker?

The holiest man I've ever seen.

What church?

God no.

I mean he is literally
covered in holes.

Every square inch of the man

is pierced.

It's impressive.

That's who you think

Tom reached out to?

That's who
<i>I</i> would reach out to.

Unfortunately Tom and I

share some propensities.

Whatever you think you know

about Tom Keen

forget it.

The bookish
elementary-school teacher

was a masterful illusion.

The man is an extremely talented

covert operative.

I'm not surprised

he convinced you

that his persona was real.

Once he takes on a new identity

he convinces<i> himself.</i>

Women's dresses.

Women's dresses huh?

Yes Jeff I understand

you're my financial planner

but I'm not

asking for your advice on this.

I just need you to do it.

Jeff of course I know

it's a lot of money.

Thank you.

You have the routing number?

No I want the account closed

and the money transferred today.

Thanks again.

Sir I was just coming--

I perjured myself.

I told the judge

that you were on that ship

for official business

under oath.

I've crossed my share of lines

in this job

but I always told myself

that wouldn't be one of them.

Of course you know that.

You were counting on it.

Sir--

I made it clear that I would not

lie to the court

I ordered you
not to put me in that position

and you<i> intentionally</i>

did exactly that.

I'm sorry sir.

I never wanted--

That is<i> exactly</i> what you wanted!

Damn it Keen! Grow up!

You want to play the angles?

You want to leverage

your friends and colleagues

at least
have the decency to admit it.

I'm not sorry for what I did

but I am sorry
that it<i> had</i> to be done.

I wanted Berlin dead.

I wanted him to pay

for what he did

to Meera to you to all of us.

I brought Tom to that ship

for us.

I don't regret it

and I'm not gonna lay down

and quietly go to prison for it.

Can you even hear yourself

Agent Keen?

You held another human being

captive.

You set in motion

a chain of events

that cost an innocent man

his life.

What you did wasn't right.

It wasn't necessary.

It was a crime--

way outside the lines

of what we stand for.

I came in here to say that

I don't recognize you anymore.

But after what I did today

the truth is

I don't recognize<i> myself.</i>

Sir you're bleeding.

Are you all right?

I-I'm fine.

Oh! Sir!

I need help in here!

So it's ink now.

My goodness Franz.

As if you hadn't
found enough ways

to decorate
that pink hide of yours.

Hello Red.

You know

Freud hypothesized that tattoos

are a defense mechanism

a way of externalizing
some internal trauma.

So tell me-what secret pain are you hiding

beneath
that already crowded exterior?

Dude I just like tattoos.

I thought perhaps
it had something to do

with that recent snafu

at the airport.

I heard about what happened

with your shipment.

What do you want Red?

A quiet place
next to a lovely stream

where I can
watch things float by...

someday.

But I do have a certain sway

with the appropriate

German authorities.

I can get your shipment

released from customs.

This is very kind of you.

What's the catch?

In exchange for getting

your weapons released

I keep % of the shipment-a transaction fee.

Red those weapons aren't mine.

They're earmarked for a client.

I'm about to close

with another broker

to replace the shipment.

That'll cost you dearly.

I'm supposed to make delivery

tonight.

And those aren't

the kind of guys

you want to piss off.

My evening's wide open.

And there's
nothing I appreciate more

than customer service.

It appears we're partners

Franz.

So just sit back

and let that tattoo dry or set

or whatever the hell it is

tattoos do

and I'll handle the negotiations

on our behalf.

Dr. Harper.
I'm Agent Keen.

I was with Director Cooper

when he was brought in.

You were present

for the seizure?

Yes is that what that was?

He seemed fine

- and then all of a sudden his nose-- Liz.

- Oh my God.
- Charlene.

Where is he?
W-what are they saying?

This is Dr. Harper.

This is Mrs. Cooper.

Mrs. Cooper your husband's

being evaluated as we speak.

Is he conscious?

I'm afraid not

but it's still early.

It appears
your husband experienced

a rather significant seizure

that may be
due to his condition

or his condition exacerbated

by a high level of stress.

He was with me.

We were arguing.

But he's okay?

I mean he will be okay?

Mrs. Cooper I wish

I could be more specific.

But as I said
it's still early.

What the hell

are you doing here?

I know you were expecting

Franz Becker.

But Franz and his men

ran into some unexpected

turbulence at the airport.

Turn your car around

and get out of here.

I can't do that.
Elizabeth is in trouble.

Are you listening?

You're gonna get us all killed.

She's about to be indicted

for the harbormaster's murder.

You need to come back with us.

That's not happening.

Tell her she's on her own.

You're damn right

there's a problem.

Elias my name is
Raymond Reddington.

At the risk
of sounding immodest

perhaps
my reputation precedes me.

Reddington.
I know who you are.

Wonderful!

Here's the problem as I see it.

You were expecting

a shipment of weapons

from an Austrian dealer

named Franz Becker.

Unfortunately that shipment

was recently seized

by the Bundespolizei.

If you'd like
to have your men confirm that

before we proceed
I won't be offended.

Let's assume I believe you.

Let's assume also you're

going somewhere with this.

I am.

It turns out

dear Franzie's the subject

of a BMI investigation.

You ordered guns

from a trafficker

who has been

under heavy surveillance

for the last two months.

I'm offering the same goods

for the same price.

I'm listening.

There is however

one small matter

to tidy up first.

This one-- he brokered the deal

with Franzie.

That means either one he has

exceptionally poor judgment

or two he's working

with the German authorities.

I'm not enamored

with either scenario.

Elias...

That's because I<i> am</i> a cop.

He's not just a cop.

He's with the FBI's

Counterterrorism Task Force

and he's on my payroll.

How do you think we know

your guy's under investigation?

Elias.

Give him to me.

I'll bleed him

for whatever intelligence he has

and then eliminate the problem.

Or maybe I just
take him out back and shoot him.

Fine!
That works for me.

We got to go after him.

No. We came to deliver

a message and we have.

See? That's why

we got the insurance.

Dembe!

Brad! Brad!

I told you she was guilty.

She's getting ready to run.

What is this?

Agent Keen just closed

one of her accounts.

She moved all the money to

an offshore account an hour ago.

It's not illegal

to close an account Detective.

What's illegal
is monitoring her financials

- without a warrant.
- Please.

Main Justice wants to shut down

our murder investigation

- and we have to play by the rules?

- Yes we do.

I know you want

to solve this Marty

but you're taking it

way too personally.

Look she knows

she's gonna be indicted.

That money
is on its way out of country

and Agent Keen

is leaving right behind it.

Ressler.

Give me Reddington.

It's him.

You know
they say you can judge a man

by the company he keeps.

Do you have any idea

what you just did?

I was in.

Yes.
And now you're out.

You didn't seem inclined

to leave your new friends

willingly

so I had to improvise.

I was on assignment.

I had a contract.

Circumstances change.

Think Tom.

I'm the one who told you to go

and never come back

so for me to be responsible
for your return

you must know I don't have

a comparable option.

No.

I am not going back.

She'll be indicted.

Not just for perjury

not just for obstruction-for<i> murder.</i>

The local authorities think

she killed the harbormaster.

She's going to prison.

I'm the only reason

she's not in prison already.

That harbormaster
was gonna call the cops.

Yes but that's all

beside the point.

You know what to do Tom.

Are you gonna let a crime you

committed to protect Elizabeth

be the reason she goes to jail?

Like you care.

What does that mean?

You are using her.

You have been using her

from the very beginning.

You need her on the outside

so you can keep

your little task force

up and running.

I'm glad we had this talk.

I know
you'll do the right thing.

Listen to me.
I am gone.

Lizzy did this to herself

the second she threw me

in that hole.

I am not going down.

Not for her.

And sure as hell not for<i> you.</i>

Any word?

You really don't have to stay.

Well...

Charlene the last thing

I want to do is pry

but Dr. Harper mentioned

his "condition."

Harold's a private man.

Harold has a brain tumor.

Glioblastoma it's called.

Doctors found it last year

when he was admitted

after being attacked.

They suggested
that he leave the Bureau.

Any undue stress could

exacerbate his illness.

But-- but Harold

that-- that job...

It means everything to him.

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea.

The original prognosis

was less than a year.

But we found
this experimental trial program.

By some miracle
Harold was accepted.

They were giving him

some new chemotherapy drug.

We thought it might be working

but after today...

I'm not so sure.

Liz you can't say anything.

Please promise me.

Harold is so proud the idea that

you and the others

feeling sorry for him--

No I understand.

This stays between us.

You have my word.

Thank you.

I'm collecting signatures for

a get-well card for Mr. Cooper.

"Get well bitch.

We've got some partying to do"?

Too much?

I just thought-I mean

I wanted to make him laugh

you know?

I mean if it's serious.

Liz called from the hospital.

She did? And is it bad?

It's bad isn't it?

- Apparently he's hypoglycemic.

- Low blood sugar?

Worst-case scenario
he's pre-diabetic.

He'll be fine.

Wow.

Guess I don't need

the card anymore.

Did you find Tom?

Yeah we found him.

Told him what was at stake.

He wasn't moved.

Didn't realize you were

interested in his opinion.

We were interested
in his confession.

He made it clear
we weren't gonna get it.

So you went all that way

and you didn't bring him back?

All rise.

I will make this quick.

This whole business started

because the Justice Department

sought to quash

a lawful subpoena issued

to Harold Cooper

Assistant FBI Director.

Ms. Wright?

Mr. Cooper had

a medical issue Your Honor.

He's unable to be with us.

Is that right?

Well do send him my best.

Let him know he's not the only

one sickened by this proceeding.

For the record I have completed

my<i> in camera</i> assessment

of the Justice Department's

position.

Your Honor before you continue

may I have a word?

You've made yourself

amply clear Counsel.

Sidebar Your Honor?

Denied.

On behalf
of the Attorney General himself

I must insist.

The Attorney General?

Get up here-- both of you.

If the Attorney General

is so interested

in what goes on
in my courtroom

- he can come down here and tell me himself.

- He will.

Maybe not in person

but I've been informed

a representative
will be here shortly.

Too little too late.

I'm asking the court

to withhold any ruling

until the AG's rep

has been afforded--

Denied.

Look at my face Ms. Wright.

Get as close
as you feel is necessary

to understand what I'm saying.

Denied.

Your Honor.

What is it?

We have a situation
in the corridor.

"A situation"?
What the hell does that mean?

There's someone out there

demanding that
he speak with you.

He says he's the killer.

I see.

Well then
I guess you should bring him in.

The officer informs me

that you have confessed

to the murder of Eugene Ames.

Tom?

Yes.

And you are?

My name is Tom Keen.

Mr. Keen.

I'm so relieved.

Somebody told me you were dead.

Your ex-wife said you were dead.

She said she shot you

in self-defense

when you abducted her

for Berlin.

She saved me.

She held you captive

on the boat the<i> Phoenix</i>

to squeeze you for intelligence

about your employer.

Yeah look.
None of that matters.

All right
the only thing that matters

is that<i> I</i> killed that man.

The guy walked on the wrong ship

at the wrong time.

So you snapped his neck

just like that.

No.

It took a few seconds.

Why are you

telling me all this?

You do realize
what's going to happen to you

as a result
of your confession today.

I don't care what happens to me.

I came here for<i> her.</i>

All right I need you to know

that Elizabeth Keen

would never have hurt...

I don't even remember his name.

His name was Eugene Ames.

I killed Eugene Ames

without Liz's help.

In fact she tried to stop me.

She begged me not to do it.

Hey. I just saw Charlene.

She said it was okay.

Come in.

From Agent Mojtabai.

Apparently
Aram thought I died.

You might have if you hadn't

missed the corner of my desk

on your way down.

Now about what you were saying

our conversation...

- Agent Keen-- No.

I told you I wouldn't put you

in the position

where you had to lie for me

and I did
and I am ashamed of that.

I know you believe

you were acting

in the interests
of the task force.

Doesn't justify it.

I wouldn't even be here

if it weren't for you.

I mean I certainly
couldn't have survived

the last year and a half

without you.

You're the only person

in the world I completely trust.

And to hear you say that

you don't even recognize me...

I'm not upset at you

for changing.

After what you've

been pulled into

I-it would be impossible

for you not to.

I'm just...

I'm upset
because I don't want to see

the person that I first met

that good person--

I don't want to see her get lost

in all of it.

The doctor is ready

to discuss the test results.

You know before today

I would have said

I had seen everything.

Now I know
I haven't seen a damn thing.

Even if what you're saying

is true

Elizabeth Keen still has

a lot to answer for.

Doesn't matter now.

Well we'll see

if your wife agrees

when she's serving felony time

for perjury

not to mention
facing an indictment

for kidnapping
witness tampering obstruction.

You can make all that go away.

Prosecution could
still charge her with murder.

I told you
she didn't kill anyone.

They will argue that she acted

in concert. She didn't stop you.

She knew that the harbormaster

would contact the police.

She wanted him to die.

At a<i> minimum</i> she was

an accessory after the fact.

She had no intent.

I was the one

who made the decision to act.

Yeah so you say.

The harbormaster
would have saved you.

- Why kill him?

- To protect her.

The woman you spent the last two

years of your life betraying?

Someone you lied to spied on

sold out and betrayed?

A woman you married as a job?

She held you prisoner!

She wasn't thinking clearly.

I needed to do<i> something</i>

or she would have

gone to prison.

You're in love with her.

I won't even try to express

how twisted that is.

Okay Mr. Keen or whatever

the hell your name is.

You want to fall on your sword

for this woman so be it.

I will recommend
that Agent Keen

not be charged
with the murder of Eugene Ames.

But as to
the other potential charges

I'm allowing the grand jury

to proceed.

Officers!

Find a seat for Mr. Keen in

the pens until further notice.

Wait! Listen!

I will make a confession.

I will give you a full deal.

But you have to promise me

that you leave Liz out of this.

That deal won't happen.

I'm sorry Your Honor.

I told Mr. Connolly you were--

It's fine Rosemary.

Get him out of here.

Well well well.

Reven Wright said

that Main Justice would

be sending an attack dog.

You're out of your mind.

I mean the Beltway's

been saying it for years

but you really are

out of your mind.

Well in years on the bench

I've learned their bark

is far worse than their bite.

Not this time.

What did you do Richard?

What the hell did you do?

I conducted
an<i> in camera</i> hearing

which I have every right to do.

You have<i> no</i> right

and you damn well know it.

You're not cleared to hear

national security cases.

We have a FISA court for that

and you're not on it-period.

You compelled two federal agents

to divulge national secrets

under threat
of imminent incarceration.

They violated my order.

To hell with your order!

Your order was

a<i> per se</i> violation

of the Espionage Act

the Patriot Act.

Intimidation threats--

this is the way

our government works.

I'm supposed to
just take your word

for the fact that this case

involves national security?

That's right.

You're a Superior Court judge

Richard.

This case is
so far over your head

it'd make your nose bleed.

You intentionally accessed

classified intelligence

without authority.

I should have you arrested

right here and now.

Smiling Tommy Connolly.

You always were a smug bastard.

And you were always a paranoid

self-righteous prick...

Your Honor.

Here's what we're gonna do.

You're gonna quash

this subpoena.

And if I don't?

You will.

In everyone's career
there's a crossroads Richard--

a moment
where what they'll say next

will define their lives

decide their future.

Is this task force really

that important to you?

I don't know what that is.

And neither do you.

You crossed the line.

I'm willing to move past it.

And who knows?

Maybe one day when I'm AG

we'll get you on a<i> real</i> court.

It appears as if
the treatment you were receiving

in the clinical trial

has slowed the growth

of the glioblastoma.

But the seizure?

Chemo drugs are powerful.

They have side effects.

That can include

damaged neurons.

My guess is
that's what caused the seizure.

You think it was a side effect

from the medication?

Yes.

And no reflection
on your overall health.

Which you're saying

is improving.

This is<i> one</i> test

and your husband has

a very aggressive illness.

But it does appear as if

we should stay the course.

And you'll be discharged

this afternoon.

Now we'll continue to monitor

these side effects.

All rise.

Oh sit down.

The government has shown

nothing but disrespect

for this court's authority

so spare me
the hollow reverence.

Let me be clear.

Government secrecy--

the idea that

the federal government can act

can surveil can detail

can interrogate

and even kill American citizens

with no oversight
or accountability

with no obligation to present

the people with the evidence

that led to their actions--

that in my view

is the gravest threat

to our national security.

It erodes the very foundation

of our great democracy.

This is a system
of checks and balances

founded on
a separation of powers.

The fact
that any federal prosecutor

who utters the magic words

who invokes national security

can suppress cases

can quash subpoenas

can avoid grand juries--

that offends me!

And so... I'm very glad

that in this matter

the government has done

the responsible thing

and complied with my request

to review the evidence

supporting its claim.

Having done so...

I am satisfied

that if Assistant Director

Cooper or Agent Keen

were compelled to testify

it would expose
national secrets

and have the potential

to do material damage

to the national interest.

Your Honor!

Let me save you the trouble

Mr. Markin.

You and I for all

of our accomplishments

remain rather small fish in

this deep and dark federal pool.

If that point hasn't already

been made clear to your boss

I'm sure it will be

very shortly.

You can't do this!

A man is dead a<i> lieutenant</i>

in the Metro PD!

And his death

is a tragedy sir.

Agent Keen his name was

Lieutenant Eugene Ames.

Never forget it.

And let the good work

you do from this day forward

in<i> some</i> way be

a tribute to his memory.

That's it.

You have to live with that.

- You know what you did.

- Marty let's go.

So-- so t-that's
how it is now right?

T-the feds
are just above the law.

You know he was a good man.

And now I have to go out

in that hallway

and I've got to explain

to his wife and daughter

how there's no justice

for a guy

who gave most of his life

in service to this city.

That's enough.

Can't really blame him.

He's playing a game

with less than half the pieces.

Maybe it should have ended.

Maybe he's right.

What's gonna happen to Tom?

Who?

My ex-husband
Tom Keen?

I never met him.

There's no Tom Keen

in federal custody.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's just-- we tried.

Missed you in court today

Harold.

I hope everything's all right.

You made it all disappear-just like that.

Hey think of it this way.

Most Americans would kill

for that kind of job security.

I didn't think
you knew everything

about our little task force.

Learn something every day.

I was serious when I said

I'd be the next AG.

I've been briefed

on Reddington...

and a handful of other things

I instantly wished
I didn't know.

But that's the gig.

I'm starting to think

maybe the gig is getting old.

So am I.

No.

You don't mean that.

Maybe you're
a little dinged up.

But you're still

at the top of your game.

You perjured yourself

for one of your team.

I admit I didn't expect that.

But I sure as hell

do respect it.

Guess my principles
aren't what they used to be.

Neither are yours.

That's where you're wrong

buddy.

I never<i> had</i> any principles.

That's why
I'm on a rocket to the top.

This thing
with Reddington--

it's important.

You've done more

since you started

than most of our best

covert units do in a lifetime.

We'd do worse than we did today

to protect it.

but I'm gonna be here

until I'm nothing

but bones in the ground

And hey.

so quiet down

Now I have something

to hold over your head.

Just kidding buddy.

You have a good night.

The paperwork is complete.

The account has been established

for Mr. Ames' daughter.

You sure you want to do this?

Yes.

And the scholarship it's...

anonymous correct?

Yes.

The bank will reach out

and they'll explain everything.

Thank you.

no one worried 'cause

they knew just where I'd be

Now I understand why you sold

the apartment I gave you.

Eugene Ames was years old.

The only reason

he was still working

was to get his daughter

through college.

Be careful Lizzy.

Because the truth of it is

once you start down this road

there's no logical place

to stop.

You can see to her education

health insurance housing.

You can watch her...

or have her watched...

keep her safe...

try to ascertain her...

hopes dreams desires.

but I am fine
with where I am now

Pull strings call in favors

to discreetly smooth the path.

And for the first few years

it may work.

You'll draw
some measure of virtue

from being
her invisible benefactor.

but you can blame me when

there's no one left to blame

But that won't last.

oh I don't mind

It's all a fraud.

That it's really not

about<i> her</i> at all.

That it's all about<i> you.</i>

And you're just...

going through the motions

to salve your own guilt.

Look all the money

all the time and effort

all the favors in the world

cannot possibly equal

what you took away from her.

Everything else is...

just a nice gesture.

all my life

You knew about Tom--

that if he came back

they'd exonerate him

to protect the task force.

He'd get his life back.

You saved a man you hate...

to save me.

does everything go away?

yeah everything goes away

but I'm gonna be here

till forever

Keen.

Hey it's me.

You okay?

Where are you?

Are you okay?
