Former government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) has eluded capture for decades. But he suddenly surrenders to the FBI with an offer to help catch a t*rror1st under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone), a young FBI profiler who's just barely out of Quantico.

Yeah, so you've got everything?

Wonderful.

Thank you so much for coming, and drive carefully.

All right, we look forward to having you again.

Zeke!

Perfect timing.

Tim was just telling us how Sophia picked him up at a bar.

She used to be ‭the shyest girl in school.

Well, she wasn't shy with me.

Can we please change the subject?

Sure.

I want to hear more about what Tim does for a living.

I told you.

I make security products.

Handguns.

You make the cheapest handguns on the market today.

You flood poor cities with g*ns that have no value to anyone but criminals.

Your sales drive up homicide rates.

You profit off misery.

That's blood money, Tim.

What the hell is this?

It isn't against the law to sell g*ns.

No, it isn't.

In fact, the law protects g*n makers like you from being sued.

Is that why you brought me here, to insult me?

We all brought you here.

Not to insult you.

To punish you.

Keen, I have your husband's personal effects.

How'd you do it?

Excuse me?

I know you k*lled Navarro, and I know you left that bloody rag behind at his apartment.

What I don't know is how you broke into evidence lockup and stole it before it was sent to the lab.

Someone broke into the evidence lockup?

I'm here to deliver Tom's things in person...

Step back.

...and all you do is lie.

You know, you better be careful, Detective, because no matter what you believe, you're still talking to a Federal agent.

We'll see how cool you are when I do come to arrest you.

Because that day is coming.

Thank you for bringing Tom's things.

Cooper here.

I need your help.

Here outside the upstate New York town of Harrington, locals have long told ghost stories about these abandoned fields and the walking dead who haunt them.

Last night for a few teens, those stories became all too real.

Alex, can you tell us what happened?

You know, we hopped the fence and walked into the fields, you know, on a dare, and that's when I saw the new grave.

So far, authorities have uncovered one dead body and are continuing to investigate.

I have to say, ‭I would've done exactly the same when I was a kid.

It's a ghost story...

creepy woods, rumors of corpses walking around in the dead of night.

Is that your dog, or a customer's?

What a dear.

Yes.

You're a good girl.

All right, off you go.

[Laughs]

A few days ago, Tim Gorman, the owner of Ballistic-Nine, a controversial ‭g*n manufacturing company based in Reading, Pennsylvania, disappeared.

That's who's in the shallow grave, Tim Gorman, the businessman who makes g*n a fifth the price of an iPhone?

m*rder*d, I believe, by a provocative group known as The Invisible Hand.

I saw the news.

They found Gorman.

Yeah, not just Gorman.

Long, hang on, I want to conference in Sophia.

So, they're vigilantes going after criminals the legal system has failed to convict?

The criminals here aren't really criminals at all.

That's the point.

The Invisible Hand chooses targets who aren't actually aren't committing crimes under existing law.

Like Tim Gorman.

Everything he did was perfectly legal.

Yes, but morally reprehensible in the eyes of the Hand.

Eyes of the Hand.

What an odd turn of phrase.

I'm on.

Mommy, Mommy...

Everly, baby, Mommy has to take this call.

Shh.

We don't really have time for this.

I'm sorry, but I wasn't exactly expecting the call.

Look, can we all just stay focused, please?

Now, we all saw the news.

As we speak, the police are digging up the entire site.

We'll be exposed...

You don't know that.

Oh, my God.

Mom!

I agree with Stephen.

We've always covered our tracks.

Nothing at the site leads back to us.

Look, let me do some sniffing around at the paper.

I can call a few sources, see what the police really know.

Great.

We meet up later at Zeke's.

Ressler: Does Reddington have any proof that The Invisible Hand is k*lling these people?

Gorman's body was found in a shallow grave in a Superfund site in a town called Brenford.

He believes others ‭are buried there, as well.

[Keyboard keys clacking]

Brenford...

Okay.

Uh, their biggest employer was the Atria Chemical Corporation.

Whoa.

They dumped so many toxins that the EPA set up the site, 10 square miles of uninhabitable land.

It's the perfect place to dump bodies.

Navabi, Ressler, reach out the investigating team.

Meet them on site.

If that is a mass grave out there, I want to know who the bodies are.

[Indistinct radio chatter, camera shutter clicking]

The chemical concentration in the soil isn't uniform.

Some of the pockets are highly corrosive, others are less toxic.

All right, here's your g*n-maker.

♪ ♪ They planted him where there's a huge concentration of chemicals.

How many bodies have you found?

Six so far, but the topography makes me think we're gonna find more.

Oh.

I pulled this down for you.

It's a surveillance camera.

The EPA monitors these sites to study terrain shifts.

Where was this installed exactly?

Facing the one access road, in a birch.

It takes one photo a day.

It shows the changes in the topsoil caused by the toxins.

We're gonna need to see the images on this as soon as possible.

You got it.

Bobby: Cops don't know anything yet.

They can't figure who most of the bodies are, let alone connect them to us.

Look, everything we do, we do together.

We choose who is deserving of punishment together.

We execute sentence together, and we all equally responsible, so if you guys want to stop, we stop.

But I think once you see this, you'll realize that isn't possible now.

We've discovered nine bodies so far.

Any idea how they were k*lled?

The autopsies suggest they were buried alive, each of them put in the ground conscious, fully aware of what was happening.

I've got four names for you so far.

Gorman, the g*n-maker, you know.

The second body's Ralph Ellis.

He went missing two years ago.

He works for Ace-Gen Pharmaceuticals.

The ones that ‭jacked up the cancer prices so high the poor couldn't afford them.

But the rest of them are mostly skeletons.

Edward Waybur and David Flynn...

I'd guess they were the first ones put in the ground.

Waybur was a retired judge.

Flynn was a lawyer in Philly.

Hey!

Excuse me.

We know The Invisible Hand targeted the g*n maker and the Big Pharma exec, but what did Waybur and Flynn do to deserve being k*lled?

[Camera shutter clicks]

Anthony Pagliaro?

Dembe: He won't leave, Raymond.

He said he's sorry for the unexpected visit, but it's a work-related emergency.

The man works at a post office.

What kind of emergency could we be talking about?

Bring him in.

I know.

Don't even say it...

unexpected drop-ins, not kosher.

All I can say is I would never if it wasn't an absolute em...

Emergency.

Dembe said.

In my experience, everyone has their own definition of an emergency.

Somebody's trying to k*ll me.

That fits my definition.

It's my fault.

I needed some money.

So, there's this guy at work, you know, he has this route, told me about this house, said it was a big drug spot.

So I covered his route for a week, I found this package that I figured was loaded with, you know, whatever, something that I could sell.

It's dr*gs, so maybe they don't report it.

If they do report it, I say "I have no idea.

With everything I deliver, it must of went missing somehow." I'm remembering now why I make the plans when we do business.

And I was dead on.

Package was loaded...

cocaine.

So now, I'm rich, right?

Boom!

Next day, I get a visit from a walking refrigerator...

calls himself Big Willie Wilkins.

Imagine the confidence a man has to have in his own genitals to take on the nickname like "Big Willie." Oh, yeah, he's confident all right.

He's also koo-koo-ka-choo.

And he's not buying my story how his shipment went missing.

So I told him that it was stolen.

By another dealer, I hear the guys at work talk about from the neighborhood...

Momo, they call him, Momo Marinello.

Does Momo know you're the one who falsely accused him?

Oh, yeah.

I'm his prime suspect, and he's going to k*ll me for sure.

What did you need the money for?

I'd rather not say.

Does it matter?

[Chuckles]

It does to me.

All right, I-I'm...

I'm dating this girl now, okay, and, uh, you know, she's a little bit out of my league, so I just thought I could use a little, uh, you know, a little, uh, help in the...

‭It's embarrassing, all right?

Liz: Oleander...

Tom was still researching the name when he was k*lled.

It's a person.

So you found something.

I made some calls, cashed in a few favors from friends working in counter-intelligence.

Oleander was the name of a Russian operative active during the Cold w*r.

A Russian agent?

I'm not sure he's even still alive.

A few years ago, ‭the CIA thought he might be living here in the United States under an assumed name.

That was never proven.

No charges were ever filed.

Thank you for this.

Agent Keen, be very careful.

If that man is the operative they call Oleander, he's extremely dangerous.

And he won't appreciate FBI agents dropping by to ask him questions.

Big Willie!

I appreciate you taking the time.

He is.

Look, Mr. Wilkins...

the thing is I know that I had told you that it was stolen, but the truth is...

I'm sorry.

‭I'm a lightheaded right now.

Oh...

oh, boy.

Oh, for God's sake.

Your package was stolen, Willie, but not by Momo Marinello.

I'm afraid your first instinct was correct.

Anthony took it in an extremely misguided effort to finance a personal procedure he'd rather not discuss except amongst friends.

What matters is, now that you know the truth, you can call off whatever search you're conducting.

Anthony will pay you back in full with interest.

No harm, no foul.

No harm?

♪ ♪ Oh, Willie.

You certainly work fast.

My guys caught up with Momo about an hour ago.

[Retches]

Muncie: All right, this is David Flynn, the personal injury lawyer from Philly.

The other body was Judge Waybur.

Both men have a connection to the ghost town where the bodies were found.

Waybur spent his entire career hearing cases in the City of Brenford, and before Flynn moved to Philadelphia, he was the general counsel of the Atria Corporation, the chemical company that poisoned Brenford.

Sounds like a good enough reason for The Invisible Hand to want them dead.

Yes, but what about Judge Waybur?

Did Flynn ever appear in a case before him?

I had the same question.

Flynn appeared before Judge Waybur to defend Atria in one case.

‭About what?

I can't say.

The records are sealed under court order.

Sealed by Judge Waybur himself?

Another plaintiff sought to have the case unsealed almost 15 years ago and failed.

Do we know why?

No.

All I have is the name of the person who tried...

Stephen Altman.

Oh, my God.

Look who it is.

It's our ghost...

the man from the photo walking out of the woods.

Stephen Altman was raised in Brenford.

His parents d*ed of bone cancer, supposedly as a result of Atria's chemical spills.

Stephen was a teenager when he sued Atria for wrongful death.

Ultimately, his case was dismissed for failure to meet the burden of proof.

I can't find any record of him over the last two years...

no taxes paid, no driver's license, no address.

Maybe he moved back.

Look, I know it sounds crazy, but if he's out there walking around those woods without a hazmat suit, maybe he's reckless enough to move back to Brenford.

Dom: Well, what brings and FBI agent out to visit with an old, retired systems analyst?

You're not a retired systems analyst, Mr.

Wilkinson.

[Laughs]

Then who am I?

I think you're a former Russian operative codenamed Oleander.

Oleander?

That's why you're here, chasing that old ghost story?

You were investigated by the CIA.

Yes, I was investigated by the CIA, and I was cleared.

The case was put on hold due to insufficient evidence, but if the CIA came after you, they had a reason.

What's this all about?

Be straight with me, young lady.

I'll be straight with you.

My husband was k*lled over a year ago, and I'm trying to understand why.

[Exhales sharply]

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I'm not Oleander.

The CIA took a look at me because I used to work with Russian intelligence, but I was...

I was not an apparatchik, an agent.

I was an analyst ‭in the civilian sector...

agricultural production, sugar beets.

There had to be more to it.

After the Cold w*r, I came to this country to teach analytics.

I was granted asylum and citizenship.

I changed my name, I started over.

I wish I could help you.

I can see that you're a good person, kind.

Your eyes remind me of someone.

You said you worked for Russian intelligence, so you knew operatives.

Yes, but not Oleander.

What about Katarina Rostova?

Yes.

Katarina.

Yes, I knew Katarina quite well.

Hey, I thought Momo stole from me.

What else was I supposed to do?

You didn't have to k*ll him.

If I don't respond, ‭I look weak, and if I look weak, somebody's gonna wrap me up in a plastic bag.

Leadership is about more than the showing of strength, William.

It's also about knowing when to show restraint.

Restraint?

Oh, you mean like me not putting a b*llet in your man's head for lying to me?!

Okay, like I said, bad idea.

My associate here is the least of your concerns right now.

Do you realize what you've done?

Momo's guys are going to have to retaliate.

Maybe that's where their next target is staying?

Aram: Probably.

I'm working on it now.

Fortunately, the device they're using is a three-axis accelerometer on steroids.

It doesn't just track front-to-back and left-to-right, it also tracks up-and-down.

You can determine the altitude?

Yeah, I think whoever The Invisible Hand is watching is currently at this point in space...

282 feet above the ground, and I've been roughing out a 3-D simulation of the Braxton Hotel, and if I can superimpose it over the tracking point...

Katarina?

He was a Colonel in the Spetsnaz.

He said she might still be alive.

I never heard from Katarina after she left for America.

What really happened to her...

I think there are some people who want to keep ‭that information a secret.

And I think they will do whatever is necessary even now to keep it that way.

All right, the guest is Anna Hopkins.

She's Executive Vice President of Optimize, a European company that specializes in green energy initiatives.

Green energy?

Doesn't that make her one of the good guys?

Why is she being targeted, then?

It seems before Anna Hopkins started trying to save the planet, she was one of the people polluting it.

She was a senior executive at Atria Chemical.

Hopkins was in charge of matters related to the chemical spill on behalf of the company.

Yeah, and apparently after Atria shut down, she accepted a job in London and has been overseas ever since.

And you deny nothing?

Long after I'm gone, the story of what we accomplished will live on.

And, uh, what story is this?

The story of six kids who lived on the same cul-de-sac in an idyllic town, six kids who thought the world was a beautiful place where wonderful things would happen if they just worked hard, played by the rules...

if they were just good people.

Then one day, they watched while everyone they loved got sick and d*ed.

K*llers never held responsible.

But you know what those idealistic kids did?

They stayed idealistic.

They went out into the world to try and change things, make it a better place, pursued careers to help the powerless, to unearth the truth and expose the bad guys, and they tried to see the good in the world.

And you know what they learned?

It doesn't work.

The world hadn't changed.

They hadn't made it a better place.

And then one of our six heroes d*ed...

of the same bone cancer that took his mom and his dad.

The other five met up after years away at his funeral, and there, standing over his coffin, a plan emerged, a new plan to change the world, only this time being as ruthless with the world as it had been with them.

And this vigilante justice...

You really think that that's what this world needs?

Apparently, she thinks tracking him down will help solve her husband's m*rder.

What did she say?

Be specific.

Relax.

She doesn't know Oleander's me.

I certainly didn't tell her.

And since I know ‭all you care about is yourself, you can stop worrying.

I didn't say a word about you.

My own granddaughter...

three feet away after almost 30 years, I couldn't say a damn thing to her.

I can't talk about this now.

You should tell her.

Enough secrets.

She deserves to know.

We can talk about this later.

Samar's here to question Bobby, but I asked if you could speak with him first.

Liz says he might be able to help locate Tom's k*ller.

How?

‭I asked the same question.

[Door opens]

[Monitor beeping]

Hello, Bobby.

[Door closes]

You know, I once knew a man who was sh*t 20 times in the torso and survived...

20 times.

Achiko Takahashi.

Who are you?

You see, poor Achiko found himself at mortal odds with a particularly vengeful yakuza kumicho...

Guard!

‭Oh, never mind.

It's not a great story.

Except for the fact that young Achiko lived.

God, apparently.

He was absolutely certain it was God who saved him, which may be true, but science, believe it or not, was somewhat on his side.

They say over 80% of targets on the body are not fatal.

What about you, Bobby?

After all those people you and your friends have k*lled, you think God smiled down on you today?

What do you want?

I want the one they call the Toymaker.

I know he did work for The Invisible Hand.

Word is he built you and your friends some rather remarkable surveillance equipment.

Where can I find him?

How do you know about the Toymaker?

You're not a cop.

Who are you?

Answer the question, Bobby.

Or what?

Or I'm going to do to you what those 20 b*ll*ts couldn't do to Achiko Takahashi.

A VCR?

Gosh, I've got a couple of boxes of VHS's in a storage unit somewhere.

My God, I haven't seen them in years.

A bunch of Laurel and Hardy's, "The Conversation," "Singin' in the Rain." This is what we're here to talk about.

Guy who came in, I never worked with him before, but he wasn't the kind of dude you say no to, which I'm guessing you guys know by now.

He never told me his name, and I've been doing this long enough not to ask.

That's all I know.

Red: That's not all you know, Cleveland.

He had specifications.

Definitely.

Man knew exactly what he wanted.

And that...

that eye was only the beginning.

I've built him what might be the most advanced surveillance and counter-surveillance gear out there right now.

And this man was familiar with the state of the art?

Are you kidding?

We spent five minutes talking about conical R-F energy frequencies for handheld wall-penetrating Dopplers in both azimuth and elevation.

Man, you know, it was almost like the guy was...

A cop?

Thank you, Cleveland.

It still isn't, but I think under the circumstances, it's what's best for everyone.

Under the circumstances?

Meaning that whatever you learned about Tom's death you think having a badge is necessary to get revenge.

Why?

Because I think whoever k*lled Tom has one, too.

He's police?

Federal or state?

I don't know, but if he is a cop, he's not the only one.
