COOPER: Previously on The Blacklist...
Tell me about the ***.
LIZ: If I'm wrong about Tom...
I don't think I can handle any of it without him.
I got a call.
Guess I'm still on as your next of kin.
We broke up.
AUDREY: I saw you in the hospital,
and I just haven't been able to stop thinking about you.
Hey.
She's calling herself Jolene Parker.
She's either got lots of little targets or one real big one.
I can't do this. I love my wife.
Wrong answer.
Elizabeth Keen is not your wife. She's your target.
(DOGS BARKING)
(SIREN WAILING)
Hey.
They miss home.
Just a few more weeks.
Go to bed. You look exhausted.
I've got a stack of case files I need to get through.
(SIGHS)
(GASPS)
I have waited a long time for this reunion, Agent Raimo.
Yes.
Though it could hardly be called pleasurable.
I was captured by your task force,
collateral damage in your hunt for Raymond Reddington.
(SIGHS) Mako Tanida.
On your knees.
(YELLS)
(GRUNTS)
You lack honor and humility, Agent Raimo.
I will provide you with both.
Take up that tanto and remove it from its scabbard.
In feudal Japan, one warrior's
transgression against another was measured by The Code of Bushido.
For your sins against me,
I require ritual seppuku.
You will disembowel yourself to my satisfaction.
I will give you 60 seconds
to put that sword into your stomach and begin cutting.
Do that and it is you alone.
Or I will run you through myself
and take your whole family.
You won't harm my family?
If you abide by honor, I will not.
(GROANS)
JOLENE: So you guys have been here for...
LIZ: Oh, only a year.
Well, we moved from up north.
I was there for three years, actually.
Hey, babe, you remember Jolene. From the baby shower?
Sure. You sub for Mr. Sinnard.
It's Ted, right? Tim, sorry.
It's Tom. Fourth grade.
We just bumped into each other outside.
She's looking for a place in the neighborhood.
I've gotta get out of my apartment. It's super cramped.
And my fiance and I love this neighborhood.
Oh. Hey, what did you think of Allison's show?
Who?
Allison.
The exhibit. At the Willard Street Gallery?
You went to an art exhibit?
Well, calling it art may be a stretch.
It was amazing. Why didn't you bring your wife?
Yeah. Why didn't you bring your wife?
For the record, I did invite you, but you were working.
And trust me, you didn't miss anything.
Anyway, I would love to stay and talk art,
but I should go grade some papers.
I should get going as well.
Let me give you my cell.
If you're looking for a realtor, my girlfriend Ellie is awesome.
Thank you. That's really cool of you.
Good luck with your papers, Tom.
Thank you.
And I will see you at school. Thank you.
I see those wheels turning.
Hey brother.
To Sam.
How you feeling?
First 48, right?
Yeah, that clock ran out.
Hey.
Pete.
Good to see you too.
They got nothing.
NPA said suicide.
Said that Sam was carrying a lot of debt.
Ritual suicide?
I mean, come on, I don't believe that for a second.
Sammy loved Sarah.
Then who gutted him?
The list of people we pissed off, pick a number.
Hey, strangers.
Okay.
Good to see you.
Is retirement treating you well?
Yeah. Well, never mind me. It's a hell of a way to see you again. Sorry.
Hey, Audrey. You speak to Sarah?
Being back in the States is hard enough.
Yeah, I think we're gonna try and stay here with Sarah next week.
The house is gonna be surrounded by Feds, sweetie,
I think she's gonna be okay.
Good old Rez.
JONICA: Mr. Emotional Support.
We should probably get going.
Let the family have some time alone.
Bye, Audrey.
We've been tracking one guy for five years.
My money? Reddington's got his fingerprints all over this thing.
(KNOCKING)
Hey, can I ask you something?
It's Reddington, you know how to find him.
Could you put the two of us in touch?
What's going on with you two?
Why?
Because he's looking for you.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
You shouldn't be here.
I said I'd send a messenger.
I wanted to deliver the check personally, Christine.
Thank you.
Will it be ready in time?
Everything is on schedule. Just like you asked.
Just like last time.
What do they do for lunch?
Do they order in?
Or eat salads out of those Tupperware bowls?
How does it work with dancers?
They smoke.
(LAUGHS)
I'll see you on the 22nd.
And please send my thanks to your mother.
I found Agent Ressler.
I heard Agent Raimo was relieved of his viscera.
If you had anything to do with...
Agent Ressler, please.
What was it, payback for Vienna?
I'm the one who reached out to you, Donald,
and it wasn't to revisit all the times
I eluded your little coterie of door-kickers
who pursued me with such fervor and zeal.
I came to discuss a former associate of mine
who your team arrested along the way. Mako Tanida.
The Yakuza boss? He's in prison.
He was. Two days ago, he broke out of Abashiri.
If you ask the Japanese, they'll skirt it.
They claim Abashiri is escape-proof.
It's embarrassing, they're touchy about that sort of thing.
I suspect Tanida is the one who killed your agent friend.
So you want to help me find him?
Let me guess.
He double-crossed you and you want his head in a box.
There's a thought.
But for the moment, the scalp I'm worried about is yours.
Tanida is disciplined.
Relentless.
If he did kill Agent Raimo,
there is the distinct possibility he's just getting started.
I fear, Donald, that you are being hunted
by a vengeful, ruthless killer.
Purpose of your visit?
Reunion. With some old friends.
Welcome to the United States, Mr. Itami.
TANIDA: Hello, Agent Maguire.
Who the hell are you?
You don't remember me, do you?
You will.
Mako Tanida, former clan boss of the Azuma-Dojin
based out of Osaka.
By the time our task force caught up,
he controlled a large part of the *** trade traveling along the Silk Road.
After Tanida's arrest, we thought his empire would collapse.
It didn't. In fact, it expanded.
Grew to include alliances with the Chinese Triad,
Korean Tong, even Russian Bratva,
and his operations in the US have grown extensively.
For a time, the intelligence community
believed Tanida somehow was operating his empire from inside prison.
No-one knew how. There were theories.
He had politicians in his pocket, or he controlled the army.
But after he was put in solitary,
it became clear that someone else was running the empire.
Within the agency that man is known as Aiko Tanida.
Mako's younger brother.
He escaped the night of the raid that took Tanida.
We believe he went underground, dark,
re-emerged as something entirely different.
Bookish boy turned ruthless crime lord.
They call him Tensei. Means Reborn.
Reach out to your Agency contacts.
I want to know everything there is to know about this brother.
We just received word. Agent Maguire...
I'm sorry.
LIZ: Maguire's body was found under a bridge, near Broadway and 39th.
Domain Awareness has three surveillance hits on Tanida. Units are on route.
Arrived on United 472 from Tokyo.
Passed through customs at 11:32 under the alias Yasu Itami.
Feed NPA the alias.
The Reddington task force. Who else was on it?
Myself and Bobby Jonica.
I'm sending protective detail.
Did you hear me? Agent Ressler?
I got a place up in Prince George's County. Off the grid.
I gotta get Audrey there.
Hey, what the hell is wrong with you? You come to my house?
You're not my handler.
I don't work for you.
Berlin is having doubts.
Yeah, well, Berlin doesn't have a damn clue.
Do you have any idea how many candidates there were?
They chose me.
I've done everything they asked.
I married the woman for God's sakes,
I've made her think my entire world revolves around her.
And now it's been two years and I've heard nothing.
We sent word four months ago.
Four months ago I had to go dark
because Reddington sent a psychopath with a knife into my house.
He cut me like a totem pole,
and because of that Liz finds my go-bag, my passports. Everything!
So what did I do? I got myself out.
I convinced her that the passports are fake, the cash isn't mine.
So excuse me for being... Don't touch that!
I've had my hands full.
Berlin wants information.
So do I.
You know, somebody put cameras in that house.
Somebody was watching us, and it wasn't the FBI,
so, why don't you tell me who the hell was it?
I can't help you unless you calm down.
(GASPS)
You leave the door open?
Yeah, I told you I was gonna bring my stuff by.
I didn't wanna keep locking and unlocking the door.
Were you downstairs?
Yeah, I parked around back.
Why?
What's wrong?
I'll tell you in the car.
Don, what's wrong?
Pete Maguire is dead.
Best I can tell their paths have crossed
at key moments in the past 20 years.
Quantico. Baltimore. She doesn't know, and I can't prove it,
but I believe Reddington was funneling money
through the adoptive father for years.
It's the Black site.
From memory. It's the unit Keen works for.
What about the cases?
You know, I sat right next to Reddington once.
At a hospital.
I could have put a bullet in his head.
That wasn't your mission.
All right. Show and tell's over.
I have detention at four.
(CAMERA CLICKS)
Where are we going? What kind of trouble are you in?
Sam didn't commit suicide. He was murdered.
By the same person who killed Pete.
You remember Japan?
How the task force spent time there looking for Reddington?
Well, we put someone away. And now they're out.
And they're coming for you.
I'm gonna take you somewhere safe.
My folks got this cabin up in P.G. County.
I'm gonna handle this. It's gonna be okay.
Don, I'm scared.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(SCREAMS)
Hang on! Hang on!
(GUNSHOTS FIRING)
Don.
(GRUNTING)
(GUNSHOT FIRES)
GOON: We have to go!
Audrey!
(SIREN WAILING)
I got you. I got you, sweetie. Hang on, let me see.
Okay, come on. Come on, come on. Come on, come on.
Put your hand over it. Put your hand over it.
Come on, girl. Come on, come on. Come on, come on. Shh.
Come on. No, no, no, no.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey! Look at me!
Stay still. Stay with me, stay with me.
Don't go.
Come on, Audrey.
(SIREN WAILING)
Come on.
You can't sideline me.
We'll find Tanida.
Doesn't matter how long it takes.
But we have to do it the right way, follow procedure.
You really expect me to care about procedure?
Of course not.
I can't imagine what you're going through. I wouldn't dare.
But don't compromise yourself.
You're a good agent.
A good man.
I have to do something.
You'll grieve.
And while you do we'll track Tanida down
and we'll make sure he gets his due.
You have my word on that.
I'll have a car take you home.
Bobby, where are you?
BOBBY: I went through every CI, every source I had
when I was running that task force. I got nothing.
What about Tensei? The brother.
I reached out to a friend of mine at the DEA.
He's got no base of operation,
no regular haunts, no hot spots.
This guy's a ghost.
Look, Don, we can... We can do this later.
No. We do it now.
Somebody out there knows something.
Well, I'll tell you who knows.
They worked together, Donnie.
Reddington understands how this world works.
What I wouldn't give to get him alone in a room for just five minutes.
Is she still in town?
No.
She's at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota.
Bring her to me.
I thought you wanted to see how this played out?
It has.
You want me to bring her in, there's gonna be a fee.
And it's gonna cost you double.
Oh, why is that?
'Cause I don't like you
and that hat makes your head look funny.
The pot meets the kettle at last.
Bring me the girl.
Searching in the desert for a drop of vengeance
to slake an unquenchable thirst is a lonely walk, my friend.
Tanida is close.
I can burn the whole neighborhood down
or you can tell me where he is.
Donald, I understand how you feel.
Beneath the iron and rust exterior
beats the heart of a man swimming in immeasurable grief.
I am truly sorry about Audrey.
There are few that understand love and loss more than I.
I'm glad you understand.
Where is he?
Let me tell you something that someone much wiser than I
told me at a similar point in my life.
Go home.
Turn back from this and go home.
It may seem like the hardest thing in the world,
but it is profoundly easier than what you're contemplating.
I'm not turning back.
That's pretty much what I said.
In your dust-up with Tanida, were there any survivors?
Yes.
Injuries?
Yeah. Why?
There's a house in Columbia Heights.
Doubles as an underground hospital.
1306 Gerard, may be worth a visit.
Agent Ressler.
Once you cross over, there are things in the darkness
that can keep your heart from ever feeling the light again.
All I feel is hate.
Good.
You're gonna need it.
Are you sure about this, a hospital?
Where the hell did you get your information?
You coming or not?
Rez, you gotta tell me what the hell you're thinking here.
I'm gonna find Tanida.
I'm gonna find anyone who was involved.
Find them, I'm gonna kill them all.
Uh, okay.
FBI! Everybody on the ground!
You, show me your hands! Show me your hands!
Get over there! Move!
You remember me? Because I haven't forgotten you.
Let's make this quick. Where's Tanida?
Where is he?
Shh. Where is Tanida?
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
No, no, no, no, no. English!
22nd and Vermont. Blue Door.
It's a club. Please, you didn't hear it from me.
Stay there.
WOMAN: Yes.
Yeah.
(KNIFE CLICKS)
We need to move. Now.
Metro PD got called in on an 808.
They were told two men presented as FBI.
Ressler and Jonica.
Any idea how they slipped their protective detail?
(SIGHS) He's not answering his cell.
How did they know to come here?
MPD, with full resources of the FBI.
We didn't even know this place even existed.
You and I both know how they got here.
REDDINGTON: I understand. I don't care about the prince.
No, no, no, no, the 22nd. That was our agreement.
Christine, I don't care about production issues.
Please just figure it out by the 22nd.
Ressler. Where is he?
I know he came to you. I know you told him about that hospital.
Agent Ressler came to me for assistance, which I provided.
You sent him after Tanida.
No. I provided a bit of direction in an otherwise blind pursuit.
He's not like you.
He can't just *** someone in cold blood
and come out of it okay on the other end.
Nobody can *** someone in cold blood
and come out okay on the other end.
We need your help.
We have to find Tanida before Ressler does.
We've looked through his financials, his prison contacts,
Tensei?
The Reborn.
He's dead.
What do you mean "He's dead"?
Aiko Tanida is running his brother's empire.
Aiko Tanida died the day his brother was captured by Ressler's task force.
Anyone who tells you otherwise
doesn't know the difference between a Water Buffalo and a Musk Ox.
Mako Tanida.
Agent Donald Ressler. Let's go for a drive.
Reddington says Aiko Tanida is dead.
Died the same night his brother was apprehended by Ressler's task force.
No. We have documented proof he escaped.
Then it was falsified.
We need to review what happened that night.
Think about it, no one's seen or heard from the guy in four years.
Our last known photograph is older than that.
Aiko Tanida's not hiding, he's dead.
We need to review the case files.
Someone else is running Tanida's business.
This is the incident report from the NPA in Japan.
What am I looking for?
Most of the details support our own investigation.
The vehicle carrying Aiko Tanida was ambushed.
Only the driver's body was found.
Most of the details? What did we miss?
Well, there was somebody else in the car.
The NPA report makes a reference to an American federal agent
accompanying the transport vehicle.
COOPER: What federal agent?
Bobby Jonica.
Jonica was on the task force.
He had intimate knowledge of Tanida's enterprise.
He knew everything.
Key players, trade routes, distribution hook-ups.
And he was able to avoid detection
by making us believe Aiko Tanida was still alive.
Jonica is Tensei.
(SCRAPING NOISE)
Who contracted you?
JOLENE: This isn't right.
Who?
Was it Younes?
Salumbides?
We shouldn't have brought him here.
Was it Reddington?
Somebody might have seen you.
You know what? You're right. I should have let him grab you
and drag you off to God-knows-where.
I can handle myself just fine.
You weren't. But you're welcome.
He's not gonna talk.
It was Reddington.
JOLENE: You don't know that.
You don't know that.
Do you know that this whole thing is because of you?
That we're here. With him.
You never should have come to my house in the first place.
And you never should have talked to my wife.
What are we going to do about him?
You really don't get it, do you, what he's doing?
What are you talking about?
The cases. Reddington used them to track you down.
To get you, to me. That means that you are compromised.
And if you're compromised then it's only a matter of time
before your trail leads to me.
Call my wife.
Get her on the phone. Disengage.
Disengage.
Tell her that you're not looking for a place anymore,
that your boyfriend got a job offer and you're moving to Dayton.
Don't do it.
As soon as you hang up that phone, he's gonna kill you.
Then he's gonna kill me.
Don't make that call.
Says the man tied to a chair.
Do it.
Hi, Liz! It's Jolene.
I hope you haven't gotten in touch with your realtor friend yet.
The craziest thing just happened.
My fiance got a job in Dayton of all places.
So major bummer.
Uh, say goodbye to Tom for me, okay?
There. Are you happy now?
(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
(GASPING)
Okay.
Now, you.
(GUN FIRES)
Hey. You okay?
Look, Donnie, we're doing the right thing here.
How long did it take
for your girlfriend to bleed out?
You must be filled with rage.
You have no idea.
Or maybe I do.
You just keep it to yourself back there, huh?
Do you remember the night we met?
The arrest. Taking away me and my brother?
That was the last I saw of him.
The last anyone saw of him.
That's a very sad story. Don't listen to him, Donnie.
Hey, shut up back there.
Raimo and Maguire.
I'm satisfied they knew nothing.
That leaves the two of you.
You think I did all this because you arrested me?
I said shut up back there!
You were doing your job, I respected that.
What I do not respect is that you killed my brother.
Took my business.
Bobby...
Talk to me.
He's gonna kill both of us.
(GROANS)
(FIRES)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Donnie, let go!
(CRASHING)
(PANTING)
(GROANS)
Don't move, brother.
Don't even breathe.
He picked up Tanida.
After that, nothing. We found his cell in his apartment.
The GPS in his car has been deactivated.
He's off the grid.
Prince George's County.
Ressler has a place there.
It's where he was going with Audrey.
He wants to be alone. Get there.
Now!
What are you doing, Donnie?
Come on.
It doesn't have to be like this.
You gotta understand me, Donnie.
I'm chasing scumbags all around the world,
making millions of dollars.
Come on, Donnie.
This is me.
What are you telling me the boy scout's gonna kill his best friend?
Best friend.
Couple months back I was in this hospital.
I'd been shot.
Sitting in there for days, all alone.
And Audrey just pops into my head.
Couldn't have been more than an hour later, she walks in.
It's like the universe tilted and brought her to me.
Like it was fated to happen.
But it wasn't fate. You know why?
Reddington.
I can tell you this, because you're gonna die.
I work with Reddington.
Believe it or not, I was shot protecting him.
That's why I was in the hospital.
It's because of Reddington that Audrey came back into my life.
He's why I got three more months with her.
And because of you,
she's gone.
My greatest enemy brought her back to me
and my best friend took her away!
No, no, Donnie. You're wrong.
I didn't kill Audrey. Tanida did.
Don't!
No. You brought this down on us.
On Pete. And on Sam.
You're gonna do the honorable thing.
Or I'll kill you myself.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
MAN: Break it up!
Call an ambulance. Set a perimeter.
Don't be crazy.
I'm not gonna do this. What, are you crazy...
I'm not gonna do it, Donnie!
You're gonna have to shoot me first.
Come on, what are you, crazy?
Pick up the damn knife.
No.
Ressler, no!
They're all dead, Liz! Audrey's gone...
What if he killed Tom?
Listen to me.
If you do this, you're gonna go to jail for the rest of your life.
Do it, Donnie. Do it.
Go ahead.
Don't listen to him.
You know what they'll do to me in prison, Donnie?
Dirty cop? I can't do that, Donnie. Come on.
Put down the gun! Ressler!
Do it!
Pull the trigger, Donnie.
Don't listen to him!
She's dead because of me, Donnie. Do it!
Pick it up!
Pick it up!
(SHOTS FIRING)
Donnie. I'm sorry, Donnie.
Donnie.
(GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
He's one of our biggest donors.
Never comes to any other performance.
Same show. On the same day.
They say his daughter was in the show years ago.
Ladies, you're paid to dance, not to gossip.
The cowboy, have you found him?
No.
REDDINGTON: The girl?
DEMBE: Nothing.
Both of them. They're gone.
Hey.
Not at all.
How was your day?
Ugh. Let's talk about anything but that.
Like that girl Jolene.
What about her? Did, uh...
Did Ellie find her a place?
I guess it's not happening.
She called me and left a message, said her
fiance got a job in Dayton.
Oh. So what, she's just gone?
I guess so.
I'm kind of glad.
I saw the way she looked at you.
Come here. Kiss me, Tim.
Or whatever your name is.
(MUSIC STARTS)
REDDINGTON: Donald, I want you to know that I do understand how you feel.
From Mr. Reddington.
There is nothing that can take the pain away.
But, eventually you will find a way to live with it.
There will be nightmares.
And every day when you wake up,
it will be the first thing you think about.
Until one day, it will be the second thing.
