The Blacklist

Hey!

Hey!

No. No, no, no, no, no.

That's three in a row, Pops.

Maybe we should go back to Go Fish.

No. Shuffle up, deal again.

Just give me a minute.

I should grab this.

Aram, what a nice surprise.

- Mr. Cooper. - Charlene was just asking about you,

and I couldn't tell her anything,

where you're living, what you're up to these days.

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

I've been meaning to. I-I just...

I've been getting settled, but I'm good. I'm really good.

- I'm great, actually. - How's New York?

Uh, well, maybe I could tell you in person.

You guys are here, aren't you? The task force is in New York?

No, we're not even up and running.

Reddington took the sisters home to Guatemala.

That was over six months ago.

We're just twiddling our thumbs till he gets back.

Well, Mr. Reddington is here.

What? Where?

I just saw him.

Saw him? In Manhattan?

Yeah. Outside the Met.

Across the street from the museum.

He was, uh... He was just walking.

- By himself? - Yeah, no security. No car, either.

I called out to him, and he saw me,

and then he just got in a cab.

Aram, are you sure? You're sure it was him?

Yeah, it was him. He looked kind of different.

But it was... It was definitely him.

Mr. Cooper? A-Are you still there?

Yes, I'm sorry. It's just

things were pretty good with Reddington before he left.

We'd agreed to be more forthcoming with each other.

- If he were back... - He is.

Okay, but if you're right, why was he there?

What was he doing?

It's a bomb!

Aram, are you all right?

Aram? Aram, are you all right?

Please tell me you're coming in to help.

You're still at it? How much have you done?

About half.

I swear, it's taking me longer to document Marvin Gerard's case

than it did to expose him in the first place.

- Take a break. - I can't.

Raymond won't be away forever.

We need to take advantage of this downtime.

- You still haven't heard from him? - Nothing.

There's a bed and breakfast in Quezaltenango.

He's probably having a champurrado on the terrace.

Aram just saw him in New York.

- Say that again? - Apparently, Raymond's back.

And probably connected to an explosion that happened

a few minutes ago at a townhouse on the Upper East Side.

I'll give Chuck a call right away.

I just tried. No answer.

Which isn't surprising. If he's blowing up townhouses,

he probably doesn't feel like taking questions.

- No idea what it's about? - No.

But it can't be good.

I'm coming in.

I have to admit, I was getting used to the time off,

being home with Charlene and Agnes.

I feel old.

You got this, old man.

Well, I'm good.

I mean, the truth is,

every day's a struggle.

Not just recovery, um, which so far, it's...

Look. I-I'm okay.

It's just mostly, uh...

I have a hard time letting go of the past.

I mean, it's in my nature to want to fix things and...

Take your time, Donald.

It's just hard f-for me to accept.

I lost someone I loved,

and it can't be undone.

I mean, I...

I became an addict. I hit bottom.

Uh...

I wish it didn't happen, but it did.

And letting that go and leaving that be...

It's hard for me.

But, uh, here I am.

And today...

I'm 311 days sober.

That's wonderful. Good for you.

You don't answer your phone?

I carried that Bureau phone for two months

after Reddington left.

It didn't ring, I put it away.

- So, uh, is he back? - Not exactly.

Come on. I'll explain on the way to New York.

- Ed Pickford. - Sergeant.

I'm Agent Ressler. This is Agent Zuma.

- Apologies for the big foot. - Man, you FBI guys work fast.

My people were still clearing the area when the Bureau

let us know a team was coming up from DC to run point.

How are things looking?

A lot of damage. Fire's saying a single device,

detonated in a room on the top floor.

- Anyone hurt? - Unknown at this time.

Suspects?

Look, I'd love to be able to tell you

we know what happened here, but to be honest, our hands are tied.

Especially since we can't enter the building.

Why not?

'Cause it belongs to the Chinese government.

It's registered as an official annex of the Consulate.

- An annex? - We've got over 100 foreign missions

in the city, plenty with multiple locations.

No police inside without permission.

He blew up part of the Chinese Consulate?

"He"? You fellas have a theory on who might've done this?

No, not really, but how do we find the person

- that can give us permission? - You won't have to.

Something tells me he's about to find you.

Excuse me. May I please speak to whomever's in charge?

Agent Ressler, FBI.

My name in Chin Yao, head of this Consular Post.

Mr. Chin, we're just beginning our investigation,

but we believe this explosion was a targeted attack.

I see. And who do you believe was responsible?

Well, we don't know, but you can be sure

that the Bureau will keep you informed of our progress.

I see the building has security cameras.

We'd appreciate you giving us access to that footage.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

And why's that?

Because we are not requesting an American investigation.

Someone set off a device in one of your buildings,

and you don't want to know who or why?

If a crime was committed, my staff is

more than capable of handling the matter on its own.

How? Your staff has no law enforcement authority here.

I'm not here to debate the matter, Agent Ressler.

I'm informing you.

- Eddie. - Yeah, Billy?

- One down. This the Bureau? - Yes.

Sir, you're gonna want to see this.

Agent Ressler, to be clear,

the FBI is not authorized to enter the premises.

The property is inviolable.

By authority of the Vienna Convention on Consular...

Best we can tell, she was the only one on the floor

at the time of the explosion, but we'll keep looking.

With that much force, why's the body still intact?

We think the device was sitting on a mail cart in this area.

Looks like she got partial coverage

from the desk and this file cabinet.

And there's this.

Looks like a laptop under her right arm.

Can you identify this woman?

Your presence here is unlawful!

Yeah, we heard you, but you're not here

to debate the matter, remember?

At this point, you'll have to take that up with the Attorney General.

Yeah, this is now a federal homicide investigation.

No, Wujing, not at all.

The FBI is inside.

They have recovered your associate's body.

How?

You were supposed to prevent them from gaining access.

Don't tell me what I was supposed to do.

The Ministry doesn't know I helped you.

Remember who you're talking to

I took a risk out of respect for our history.

But you're a fugitive.

If our government knew anything about...

Moores is dead.

We needed her help.

She told us enough.

Everything stays on schedule.

It was Reddington.

He'll do anything to keep me from proving the truth.

But I will.

And he will suffer for what he has done.

Okay, you're not gonna believe this.

The body recovered from the Chinese Consulate?

It was Jennifer Anne Moores.

Moores. How do I know that name?

Jennifer Moores was once on The Blacklist.

She was a key member of a heist crew

known as The Fribourg Confidence.

Thieves who specialized in robbing criminals.

Back then, Elizabeth hired them to steal a flash drive

from one of Raymond's safe deposit boxes.

I remember.

But we arrested them. So why isn't she in prison?

Because she cooperated with our investigation.

And it seems like that went a long way with the US Attorney.

She did 19 months at Hazelton and was paroled five months ago.

I don't get it. What's a former Blacklister on parole

doing at an annex of the Chinese Consulate in New York?
