The Blacklist

- Can I help you? -

- Walter Reardon? - Who are you?

I'm Special Agent Vernon Duquesne, FBI.

You're under arrest. Take everything!

Internal audits, SEC filings, corporate minutes.

- I want it all vouchered as evidence. - Evidence of what?

Market manipulation in violation of U.S. Code 7 Section 13...

wire fraud, money laundering.

You and your lawyer have all the time in the world

to read the indictment before the arraignment.

His lawyer's right here.

Holt Campbell. Veritable's general counsel.

You want to tell me what the hell is going on?

Arrest and search warrants

signed by the U.S. Duty Magistrate.

Where's the affidavits in support of the warrants?

Sealed.

Those documents contain trade secrets

we've spent millions to acquire and protect.

Call Judge Kerr's chambers. Get his clerk on the line.

This is Holt Campbell at Veritable Robotics.

Well, you should know the name.

Your boss signed warrants to search our offices

and arrest our CFO.

Really? Well, if he didn't sign them,

why am I holding the paperwork?

Walter?! Walter?!

Hey, call the FBI, the real FBI.

- What happened? - Nothing.

Whoever they were, they left everything behind.

I want to know why.

- What are you doing? - She's shivering.

She's supposed to be cold.

I know. I read up on TTM,

how you circulate cold saline through her femoral artery,

but her core body temperate was only 91 degrees.

She is suffering from cerebral ischemia.

Cooling her protects her brain while she heals.

Right. By decreasing the brain's demand for oxygen,

you reduce neurotransmitter production like glutamate.

Lovely. Looks like someone's been reading up on Wikipedia.

I read the page and the footnotes.

91 degrees was an AHA guideline in 2010,

but in 2015, the journal Resuscitation

concluded that 97 degrees was more effective.

I'm just following protocol.

Are you her husband?

- Part of our medical directive? - I'm her fiancé.

Granted, I proposed while she was unconscious.

- Do you have power of attorney? - No, but...

Then I'm gonna have to ask you to step aside.

- I'm ashamed of this. - You shouldn't be.

Samar is in the hospital, fighting for her life,

and instead of being there for her and Aram,

I'm trying to find this duffel bag

before Reddington does.

Agent Navabi needs our thoughts and prayers.

We don't need to be at the hospital to send those.

As for the duffel,

Tom died trying to figure out what it contains.

Your determination to find it makes perfect sense,

and we're happy to help, so talk to me.

Before he died, Garvey went to Costa Rica

to give the bag to a man named Max Birmingham.

What do you know about the man?

Well, for starters, I know his real name

isn't Max Birmingham.

The man we're looking for is Sutton Ross.

In the '80s, when a company or a country

wanted to steal R&D rather than develop it,

Ross and his team stole it for them.

Didn't he steal R&D on a stealth fighter for China?

A defective stealth fighter called the Grayscape Seventeen.

The Navy knew Ross was working for China,

so they made sure he stole plans for a plane that couldn't fly,

and when it crashed, China blamed Ross,

turned him over to the feds, who issued an arrest warrant,

and Ross disappeared.

Until showing up in Costa Rica

under the alias "Max Birmingham."

So, why would Garvey give him the bag?

Because when Ross went AWOL,

Garvey was the Marshal assigned to arrest him,

and instead of bringing him in,

Garvey ended up protecting him.

Yeah, but these two haven't met in weeks.

Any idea where Ross is now?

Yes. Doing business, as usual.

Ross and a dozen suspects posing as FBI agents

showed up to a robotics company yesterday,

waving phony warrants.

So the guy holding Reddington's secret

is stealing tech from a robotics company?

Yes and no.

The police report says he stole it,

and then left it all behind.

Nobody robs a company for kicks. Get there.

If we find out what he was really after,

we'll find him and the bag before Reddington.

Ah, what a lovely shop.

You certainly look busy as a beaver.

I'm with a client.

Yes, and I'm terribly sorry for the intrusion,

but I need a moment of your time.

It's about a customer.

Remind me, were we doing side tabs

or traditional belt loops?

Oh, go for the side tabs.

They keep you honest in the midsection.

I'm sorry, sir, but as you can see,

we are in the middle of a fitting.

Yes, I understand.

Oh, my gosh! You're...

Oh, dear. I am such a fan.

Why, thank you. Thank you.

Your films, your writing, your artwork.

I can't believe this.

Do you get all your suits done here?

Sir, we are very busy.

You probably get this all the time,

but I must tell you, I absolutely adore...

- "Pink Flamingos"? - Well, yes, but your Christmas show.

I had tickets in Baltimore, and I was running so late,

I only saw the last 20 or 30 minutes,

but I have to tell you,

it was one of the most surprisingly warm,

incredibly nostalgic, funny evenings in my memory.

Well, look at you. What a sweet man.

That story about the squirrel...

the one with the tiny nuts.

Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah.

You look awfully comfy. What kind of fabric is that?

Oh. A lightweight merino.

Super 120, natural stretch. I swear by it.

Marty, do you think you can do

that same multi-colored puppy tooth

in that collection?

Erm, is that British?

I'll tell you if you tell me.

Your client, Sutton Ross...

I've fallen out of touch with him over the years,

but I do need to find him right away.

Every document taken from Reardon's office was returned.

That means they targeted Reardon

as a way of getting into the office.

Not just the office. This very corridor.

Walter's office is across the hall

from one of our research specialists,

Ravi Desai.

Three of the hard drives are missing.

They contain Ravi's personal research

on something called the Rafferty Project.

Have you spoken to Mr. Desai?

We've called and left messages,

but we haven't been able to reach him.

His kids are off from school, so he took vacation time.

The Rafferty Project... What can you tell us about it?

Nothing. As I said, it was Mr. Desai's personal project,

and he'd be the only one that could speak informatively.

All right, well,

we're going to need access to your backup servers.

First of all, I want to thank you.

Thank us? We feel awful for imposing.

No. No, no, no. Not at all. You distracted me.

Right now, that is exactly what I need...

the doctors, too.

It keeps me from telling them what to do.

Are you telling them what to do?

Only when I think what they're doing is wrong,

so, like, all the time.

Except now.

Right now, I'm thinking about Ravi Desai.

- So you've heard of him? - Are you kidding me?

I've been a huge fan

ever since he won the I-EEE Robotics and Automation Award

as a PhD student at Brown.

I follow him on Instagram, Twitter.

So does that mean that you know what the Rafferty Project is?

Well, the backup files

indicate that it's some kind of exoskeleton,

a manned robot designed to help people

go into hazardous areas.

That's an idea that Ross could sell

for a fortune on the open market.

Well, maybe, but the idea is all he'd be selling.

Whoever buys these drives

- will not be able to build one. - Why not?

Well, the files are all snippets of ideas and partial equations.

I mean, Desai could build a robot from them,

but no one else could, not without him

- to explain what they mean. - Well, we need to get to Desai

and lock him down before Ross grabs him.

Oh, well, that shouldn't be hard.

He's at a matinee with his kids.
