The Blacklist

Mint. Absolutely. Mint.

You grow mint? I do the same thing at home

so I can have it for my...

Yes, you may.

Thank you.

Na zdorovie.

Can I ask why?

You're my grandfather. Why would you want to hide that from me?

Because I made a promise a long time ago.

A promise to lie to your granddaughter?

Why would anyone ever ask you to do that?

Hmm.

To keep you safe.

You know his identity.

I do.

Who is he?

And how is it connected to my mother?

I know she didn't drown in Cape May.

I know that, six months later, she helped

whoever's pretending to be Reddington become Reddington.

I have proof.

What happened in those six months

between the night the world thinks my mother drowned

and the day Reddington came back from the dead?

What happened?

For most people, baptism comes early.

My daughter had to wait half her life to be reborn.

Ma'am?

Can I help you?

Are you all right?

Hey, there.

Easy. It's okay.

You're in a shelter. It's not a hospital.

You had a nasty fever when they brought you in.

Hypothermia.

You picked the right church, though.

Father Wendt was a medic in Lebanon.

Said you needed rest and warm liquids.

How long have... A few days.

Enough time for the fever to break.

What's your name, sweetheart?

That's okay. I don't need to know.

You get some rest.

You need to know whatever you share with us is confidential,

and it stays with us unless you request otherwise.

You wanna talk about it?

No.

I saw the bruises on your stomach, the cuts.

They weren't from the ocean.

Well, when you want to talk about it, we're here.

You're safe.

Thank you.

But she wasn't safe.

No.

No. She wasn't safe.

She was being hunted.

There was a Russian. Anton Velov.

He was searching for her.

These are from the last week?

Everyone we received.

And bodies wouldn't have been sent anywhere else?

If a body was pulled from the water within 40 miles of here,

this is where it would come.

What do you say you and I take a little drive?

A drive?

Well, there's something I want to show you.

What's the problem? Who is she?

We couldn't get her name. No one knows what she's saying.

She walked in and started yelling.

Oh, my God. Call the police!

Don't call the police. She's telling you not to.

Pozhalusta.

You can understand what she's saying?

Her boyfriend did this.

Can she tell us his name?

She doesn't want to. She's afraid.

Her boyfriend is friendly with the police.

If you call them, he'll find her.

Her arm... She thinks there might be a fracture.

Katarina...

Should we talk?

About what?

You think that's me?

I think we're all running from something.

I think we've all had to do things to survive.

Everyone here has a past.

Whatever your story is,

it's your story, and yours alone.

Most importantly, I think the woman

who stepped into that ocean is dead.

The one who emerged has new choices,

a new future.

And I'm here to help her.

She got help.

She got well.

She kept to herself. She remained patient.

While she made a plan.

Remember, all this happened

as the Soviet Union was collapsing.

93% of voters in Lithuania have voted for independence

from the Soviet Union.

She betrayed all of us. By working with the Cabal.

By helping to fan the flames of an uprising.

Many powerful people were looking for your mother,

and she knew she needed to disappear, to fade away.

She stayed at the shelter, biding her time, until...

Until what?

Get out.

Sir, please. You're drunk.

What did you say to me?

It's late. You've been drinking.

Maybe the best thing for you...

Out. Now.

Mr. Koslov. Paging Mr. Ilya Koslov.

You have a lost item at the security desk.

Ah. Hi. I'm, uh, Ilya Koslov. Someone paged me.

Oh, Mr. Koslov, yes. We found your briefcase.

Oh. Lucky someone turned it in.

Yes. Must be my lucky day.

Katarina.

I thought you were dead.

I am dead.

What are we doing here?

Making sure I stay that way.

I hope you know your mother loved you.

And my father?

Did she love him, too?

Reddington was an assignment.

So, you were her handler.

Katarina was my protegee... Or so I thought.

Until I learned that she had a life

I didn't know anything about.

A cabal conspiring against Russia,

her affair with Reddington.

Which you ordered her to have.

I ordered her to turn him.

Turn him, not to have his child.

I don't know if they loved each other or not.

What I do know is that they loved you.

And fought over me.

That's what they were doing the night I shot him.

Whoever's impersonating Reddington,

they had to know Reddington died that night.

And if they knew that, they also knew

that's when my mother gave me up.

Oh!

Lock the door behind me.

She was alone and scared and wanted me to be safe.

She was scared, and she wanted you to be safe.

But she wasn't alone.

I cannot believe you're alive.

The papers... How did... How did they get it wrong?

They didn't.

I went into the ocean to end my life.

Yeah, but you came back. I told you my plan.

Yeah, well, we need a new plan.

One that has even a remote chance of success.

The KGB knows I betrayed them.

The Cabal knows I had an affair

with a man who has information that could destroy them.

I am marked, and so is everybody I care about.

Guilt by association.

I won't stand still for that.

That is what I hate about you.

Don't say that.

Well, don't take it personally.

It's how, uh, all moral relativists feel

about righteousness

in the face of impossible odds.

On the plus side,

I'll have nothing but love for you if we succeed,

which we won't.

We?

Well, we pledged our lives to each other.

When we were six.

And a promise is a promise.

Okay.

For this to work, we'd need passports,

cash, access, time.

Okay, okay.

Okay, well, which of those do we have?

None. What, not even time?

I don't understand. The world thinks you're dead.

There was an incident at the shelter.

A man with a gun.

Velov will hear about it.

The news of my death would fool most.

It won't fool Velov.

We did the right thing, right?

What thing?

Pulling him from the fire, trying to save his life?

I can't stop thinking about those firefighters,

what might have happened if we'd left him there.

If they found him, maybe they could've gotten him help,

saved Raymond's life.

He would've burned to death.

We did everything we could, and we got him out.

And yet, he died.

Look here. Glasses.

Good luck, Anna Croft.
