03x18 - Mr. Solomon: Conclusion

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on The Blacklist...

I want to keep the baby. Our baby.

[ Sniffles ]

They had a cancellation at the church this afternoon, I say we go for it. We do it now, today.

Red: I'm afraid your wedding plans will have to wait, Lizzy.

Navabi: Solomon and his friends are very motivated and very powerful.

[ g*nshots ]

And who might you be?

Solomon was contracted by an employer to take you.

Your target is Elizabeth Keen.

Red: Brace yourselves. They're coming.

She's to be taken alive and unharmed.

Get her out of here.

♪♪

Is there any sign of them?

No, but don't slow down now.

Did you get hurt back there? Either of you?

I don't think so. I avoided the b*ll*ts, anyway.

Well, you always wanted a shotgun wedding.

[ Groans, laughs ]

Hey.

It's okay. It's all right.

We're gonna get through this, all right?

All they did was stop a wedding.

They can't touch what we have.

Reddington's lying to me. I know it.

If my mother wasn't trying to abduct me, why'd Solomon ask for Masha?

Do you really think this woman is gonna hire a team of mercenaries to kidnap her own daughter?

If that woman knew Reddington, she would.

She'd know it's the only way to pry me out of his grip.

But where's she been all this time?

And why'd Reddington say she's dead?

Well, I got a more pressing question for you--

Where the hell are we going?

[ Beeping ]

Team Leader, this is Operator 4-6.

I have eyes on tango, moving south on Brightwood Avenue.

[ g*nf*re ]

Copy?

I beg to differ. We've got Masha contained inside the church.

That's a big negative, Team Leader.

Target is southbound in a festive black sedan.

Suggest you break off current engagement.

All teams, continuous fire for 15 seconds, and then full withdrawal.

♪♪

What are they doing?!

They just realized she's gone.

They're keeping us pinned so they can launch a chase team.

You need to get out of here.

Baz!

[ Sirens wailing ]

[ Tires screech ]

Down!

[ g*nf*re ]

Navabi: They're pulling back.

They heard the sirens.

Half of Metro PD must be out there by now.

[ Wailing continue ]

[ g*nf*re ]

[ Engine starts ]

We got to get out there. Let's go.

[ Tires squealing ]

[ g*n clicks ]

Aah!

Well, thanks to construction delays in Columbia Heights, I have a fixed position for tango.

Sending the nav... now.

[ Beeping ]

[ Horns blaring, indistinct shouting ]

Ohh!

Hi! Congratulations.

Yeah. Best wishes.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Okay, you promised to tell me what's going on.

Who sent the army?

Are you okay?

[ Honking continue ]

What do you think?

That was supposed to be our wedding?

Who's honking?

Everyone.

Tell Tom to drive you to the Mill Shop on L Street.

I'll send you the address and meet you there.

It's owned by a friend-- Yong-Sun Hopgood.

He'll provide safe haven.

We need to get you off the street quickly before Solomon finds you.

I'll take it under advisement.

[ Tires screech ]

Son of a bitch. Are you okay?

I wish people would stop asking me that.

Liz, what are you doing?

Don't worry. They're not gonna sh**t me.

[ Tires squealing ]

They're gonna get the tires. Hang on.

[ g*nf*re ]

Liz, what the hell is wrong with you?

Give me that.

Aah!

[ g*nf*re ]

Get down!

Where'd they go?

There.

We've got to keep moving.

No, Tom, I can't run.

All right, all right, all right, I know.

[ Sighs ]

In here.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Shh.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I know you told me to stop asking if you're okay.

Yeah, I know. I'm not okay.

The car wreck. Something hurts inside.

Okay, hold on. Let me find something for the pain.

[ Drawer opens ]

Demerol.

What about the baby?

I don't know. I'm not trained for this.

[ Sighs ] Oh, my God. We're terrible parents.

♪♪

[ Door creaks ]

Operator 4-6: Team Leader, police are approaching the area.

[ Door closes ]

What is it?

[ Gasps ]

Oh, my God, the baby!

[ Breathing heavily ]

Ressler: No.

Give me a shoutout.

No word on the escape vehicles yet.

We got federal, state, and local agencies in on the search, but media outlets have been alerted.

Stay on it.

Armor-plated SUVs don't just vanish.

Look, I wouldn't count on it.

Whoever gave Solomon soldiers-- They gave him good ones.

I mean, they wore flexion gloves.

There's no fingerprints on anything, not even these.

Green-tipped. Armor-piercing.

And that's all they left behind.

They even dragged away their dead.

Any word on Keen?

Reddington's getting her to a safe house.

He'll notify us when she's landed.

I have something.

When Dembe fought off one of the men, his helmet came off.

I found this EarCom in one of the nearby pews.

It's like nothing I've ever seen.

Good work.

See if Aram can track down the manufacturer.

Our priority is to identify that att*ck team.

[ Breathing heavily ]

I need a little help here!

Let's get her on a gurney.

What happened?

Oh, she was, uh, in a car accident and she said she was fine and then she started bleeding.

How many months?

Uh, eight.

Is the baby okay?

We're gonna check her out. Get an IV started.

Send off a trauma panel. Get her on a fetal monitor.

[ Exhales deeply ]

Operator 4-6: Team Leader, incoming from the north.

Two Metro PD cruisers. 40 seconds out.

Operator 4-6, you got eyes on the target yet?

Negative. Too many points of exit.

Metro PD now 20 seconds out.

May I suggest you implement an exit strategy?

She's hurt.

Operator 4-6, where's the nearest hospital?

Vectoring you to Mary Margaret on Central Avenue, two blocks north of 27th.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Your bleeding seems to have stopped on its own.

Did the painkiller help?

Is the baby okay?

That's all I care about.

That's all she cares about, but I need them both healthy.

Well, the heartbeat looks okay, and baby's moving around.

All good signs.

But the OB's heading down now just to make sure.

Now, in the meantime, we're gonna run some more tests, see if there was any other trauma from the accident.

Thank you.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

[ Sighs ] I don't want to talk to him.

What do you want?

Red: Elizabeth. Here. Now.

I'm right in front of the place. Where is she?

There was an accident.

Is she hurt?

We don't know.

I mean, we don't know how bad she--

She was bleeding. We're at Mary Margaret Hospital.

Can you put her on?

What?

You need to leave.

Mr. Kaplan will be there in five minutes to pick you up out back.

[ Sighs ] Did you hear a word Tom just said?

I can't protect you in a hospital.

You can't protect me in a church, either.

Let me rephrase that.

I cannot safeguard you and the dozens of innocent patients and medical personnel who'll be caught in the crossfire when Solomon and his storm troopers put together where you are.

I know how desperately you want to protect your baby, Lizzy.

So think.

[ Exhales deeply ]

♪♪

You'll be fine, sweetie. Nothing to be afraid of.

I'm taking you to a private ICU with the county's top emergency-care team.

I know what that means.

I'm right here.

[ Groans ]

I'm right here.

[ Gasps ]

What?

My water just broke.

Oh, wow. This is-- This is happening.

Um, w-w-what is our ETA?

Three minutes out.

Ohh! From where?

Three minutes out from where?

An abandoned warehouse?

Because I let a fugitive, a k*ller, a sociopath into my life...

I know.

...now I am being hunted by God knows who's chasing me, but they've got body armor and as*ault r*fles, and I have to give birth to my child-- to a baby-- in a filthy warehouse!

It's a nightclub.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

No, it's not.

Your baby deserves more than we can provide.

♪♪

Welcome, Dr. Korpal.

What have we got?

A 31-year-old female 32 weeks pregnant status post MVA with abdominal pain and bleeding.

RH status?

Unknown, but her labs are cooking.

Okay, he's in.

I should have known it'd be you on call.

Liz, what happened?

Nothing good.

It's okay. Let me take a look.

Uh, since when are you an OB?

As an ER physician, I'm trained in the emergency aspect of all the specialties.

I saved your ass, didn't I?

Damn it, Reddington. Where's Liz?

Circumstances prevent me from sharing more information at this time, Harold.

Whoever employed Solomon's services, they know too much.

They're breathing down our necks even now, listening, watching.

I can feel it.

Who att*cked us at the church?

I don't know.

I'm hoping your team finds something at the scene.

We need to put down this thr*at quickly.

I'll be in touch when I can.

Hey, Reddington, wait.

Kaplan: Of course, it's a risk for all of us, but it's possible, right?

What's possible?

Liz.

She suffered a placental abruption, likely from the crash.

It's when the placenta rips away from the walls of the uterus.

As a result, the baby's not getting enough oxygen.

The heart rate is plummeting.

If I don't perform an emergency C-section in the next 10 minutes, her baby's going to die.

♪♪

It's pointless trying to identify a manufacturer.

That EarCom is pure black market.

Nitride transistor technology, a built-in terahertz radio.

We're back to square one-- chasing shadow warriors.

Uh, not exactly.

There were no prints on the outside of the EarCom, but I pulled partial fingerprints from the button battery inside.

Asa Jacobi.

First Air Cavalry Brigade.

Missing, presumed dead during the Iraq w*r.

He left a wife behind.

Track her down and pay her a visit.

See if there's anything there.

[ Door closes ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Perimeter defense is in place-- exits, rooftops, and lookouts on all avenues of approach for a six-block radius.

Everything will be fine, Raymond.

Oh, for God's sake, Dembe, spare me the mystical reassurance.

Everything is not fine.

Where the hell was the perimeter defense at that damn church?

You should have deployed four teams, five teams.

Look at her lying there in this barbaric situation with her child's life at risk.

Everything is not fine.

She never should have been at that Godforsaken church.

Kaplan: Stop it, Raymond!

This has little to do with Dembe and nothing to do with that poor girl in there.

She's been telling you for months that you're a danger to her baby.

This is on you, Raymond.

Nobody else.

You were wrong to make her believe you could keep her safe.

You made us all believe.

Operator 4-6, this is Team Leader.

We lost the target. Last seen at Mary Margaret Hospital.

Do you have a visual? Over.

Negative.

But fresh hospital intel just in.

"Suspected placental abruption with vaginal bleeding.

Variable fetal deceleration present."

Sounds like tango's about to pop out a bun.

Given her medical condition, she can't be far away.

Let's canvass these areas.

As soon as I get this epidural in, you're gonna feel a whole lot better.

[ Sighing ] Okay.

And we'll be ready to go.

And you get to stay awake the whole time.

Really?

Wow. Okay.

Why is she in so much pain?

Her baby's not receiving enough oxygen.

It's fighting to stay alive inside her womb.

Trust me, that's a good thing, but I need to work fast.

Push another five of morphine.

Nik, please just tell me nothing's gonna happen to the baby.

The moment you hear your baby cry, you'll know that everything's going to be okay.

Now, you're gonna feel some pressure as I insert the needle.

Take a deep breath.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Just stay with me, all right? I'm right here.

It's fine. We're having a baby.

Yay.

Ohh.

I love you.

You're gonna do great.

This just isn't how I pictured the birth of our baby.

How'd you picture it?

Magical.

Okay, hold on.

She could hear breathing on the line, but the caller wouldn't speak.

Well, it's been found.

Oh, good. Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

When you fall prey to errors, you become prey.

Somebody clean that up.

Nik: The scan confirmed my fear.

The placental abruption caused amniotic fluid to leak into Liz's blood, producing a severe inflammatory reaction.

Are you with me, Liz?

I'm gonna put you on a BiPAP machine.

It forces your lungs to expand and helps you breathe, okay?

I'll be right back.

I need to be straightforward.

The BiPAP is a Band-Aid.

The amniotic fluid will cause Liz's lungs to swell.

The next stop is heart failure.

No.

She needs to be intubated and put on a ventilator as soon as possible.

You mean induce a medical coma.

I know it sounds scary, but it'll allow us to control her breathing and force oxygen into her system.
