The Blacklist

Previously on The Blacklist...

I am not here to hurt you, Liz.

I'm one of the good guys.

Reddington... he is not who you think he is.

I need to tell Lizzy.

I can't let you do that.

She deserves the truth.

I don't understand, Ray.

I thought we had an arrangement.

The people I represent, they're...

they're nervous.

The key in the lamp... I know you found it.

Take it to Radford Bank, box number 3929.

Goodbye, Liz.

You are headed to Stepanska, yes?

You speak English.

I am English, sir. I hope you don't mind.

Um, I read somewhere that you also speak the language.

Makes life a little easier for me.

Of course.

Not a lot of Englishmen driving in Prague.

Little hot in here, hmm?

You mind turning on the air?

Yes, sir.

And there's some bottled water back there, if you'd like.

Oh, yeah.

Mr. Emil Dusek, a member of parliament here in Prague,

has been arrested.

Our sources tell us that Mr. Dusek is a suspect

in an ongoing murder investigation.

He was found in a young man's apartment.

That man was a known male escort

who police believe was strangled to death.

Let me be clear.

I am completely innocent of these charges

and look forward to an opportunity

to clear my name.

However, I have chosen to withdraw from the senate

to concentrate on my defense.

No more questions.

Niko! My goodness!

Red! Welcome!

The house is yours until I return.

My flight is in three hours.

Look at you. You're wasting away.

Down 37 pounds.

All from swimming?

Yes... swimming.

And bread.

I cut out bread entirely.

I was a lifeguard my junior year in high school.

Had to give mouth-to-mouth to Mrs. Beerman.

She belched up a lung full of corned beef and chlorine.

I haven't been in a pool since.

I'm sorry... weren't you in the Navy?

Enough. To business.

What happened in Prague... losing Emil Dusek...

is very concerning.

What happened in Prague is unfortunate,

but how it happened is of more concern.

I believe it's a frame.

Dusek was targeted.

Targeted by whom?

The Kingmaker.

You're saying he was retained to eliminate Dusek

as a way of weakening our interests?

Yes.

What I don't know is who retained him.

You do know.

You may not have a name, but, Red,

this was done by the same mysterious enemy

who has been plaguing you for months.

Prague is just one example.

Someone has devoted a great deal of time and energy

to depreciate your business.

Watch your tone.

It's not my tone, Red.

People are talking.

Your friends are talking... whispering.

I don't have any friends.

Whoever this unseen enemy is,

they don't think he's after us.

They think he's after you.

For now, they remain loyal, but they won't forever.

These "friends" you mention,

the ones whispering in the shadows...

tell them from me...

"Shut the hell up."

St. Adrian's Hospital?

This is where your father died.

Sam.

It's the same building. I checked like four times.

Where did you get this?

At least tell me this... Do you trust the source?

No.

Doesn't prove Reddington was there the day Sam died.

If Reddington did fly all the way to Nebraska

just to talk to my dad before he died,

there must have been something he wanted.

Well, is it possible they were friends,

he was just paying his respects?

Since when does Reddington have friends?

You gonna ask him about it?

Not until I know whether the photo's real.

Jamie, tell your people I'll have an answer

by the end of the week,

but whether or not we do business,

I'm keeping all the samples.

Lizzy. Perfect timing. Say hello to Jamie.

Hello.

Where's Tom?

What a delightful man...

scrupulous mind for business, sharp as a tack.

Red, where is Tom?

He's in New York.

Not to worry. My people are watching.

Please excuse the house.

My host spends a tremendous amount of money

on all the wrong things.

What the hell is that?

Cannabis.

Jamie's trying to form a huge consortium

of farms and warehouses outside Denver

and having a little trouble securing the financing,

so I would be the bank.

I'd offer you an edible, but we have work to do.

The Kingmaker.

I've never met the man,

but I recently lost a great deal of time and money

to his... talents.

He's single-handedly responsible for the rise and fall

of some of the world's

most pivotal politicians and statesmen.

He's, what, some kind of political strategist?

He's raised opposition research to an art form.

He arranges scandals, exploits proclivities,

assassinates when necessary.

I don't know how he chooses his clients,

but they say he grooms them from an early age...

the right universities...

mentors, even spouses.

And when they're ready to run,

he does whatever it takes to assure their victory.

He's causing trouble for some politician in your pocket,

and now you want the FBI to arrest him?

Yes. Please.

And thank you.

My sources say he left Prague within the last 12 hours

on a flight to the United States.

The average hotel-room bed

can be riddled with anywhere between

100,000 and 2 million dust mites, bedbugs...

Fecal matter, urine, semen,

methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.

That bacteria alone kills more than 15,000 Americans per year.

I will not be joining them.

These cases... you often ask for something in return.

Now I'm asking.

Tom...

I want to know his every move.

The Kingmaker is on his way, Lizzy,

and whatever he intends to touch will turn very nasty.

Almost 10 years ago now,

I promised you such a day would come.

It will be the first of many on this grand journey of yours.

So, how far down is that?

25 feet.

It has to be convincing.

Well, it's gonna be really convincing if we end up dead.

Like all objects,

a vehicle in free fall will accelerate

at a rate of 9.8 meters per second, squared.

At 6,180 pounds, your car will generate

an impact force of 557.2 kilonewtons...

well below the NHTSA thresholds for a front-end collision.

How will it happen?

The less you know, the better.

The life you've requested is a bold one, Patrick...

full of bold choices, like this one.

It would be a shame to learn, after all this time,

that you never really had it in you.

If you wish to remain my client,

you will be on this bridge at exactly 4:00 PM.

If you do not, then I wish you and yours

the loveliest of ordinary lives.

I'll be here.

Yes.

You won't be for long.

Reddington's intel had our suspect travel

from Prague to the United States

sometime in the past 12 hours.

There were six flights during this time period.
