RED: I knew her as Katarina Rostova, one of her many names.

Many powerful people were looking for your mother.

She was being hunted.

And she knew she needed to disappear, to fade away.

As I feared would happen, elements from Katarina's past are circling Elizabeth like a pack of wolves in the night.

I'm not sure Elizabeth will ever be ready to learn about what you did to Katarina.

RED: I need to control the danger to Elizabeth.

I have built a vast criminal network predicated on that very principle.

Katarina.

RED: I've always helped you.

You were never on my side.

I'm your mother.

A mother protects her children.

I did protect you, by hiding you.

And I didn't want you to be hunted, too.

I love you, Masha.

RED: You know you can't trust that woman, right?

"That woman" is my mother.

No, she's just using that to exploit you.

I can't understand how Liz could've been okay with... with any of this.

I don't think she was.

I think she knew full well the protocols that would kick into place would leave Reddington vulnerable, and I'm sure once forensics are run on the expl*sive device, it'll indicate the blast radius was limited to Reddington's room.

And that's okay?

Absolutely not.

Just because I don't believe she intended to hurt anyone else doesn't mean I think it's okay she tried to k*ll Reddington.

What's the prognosis, Doc?

Eh, some of the lacerations will require stitches, and I've ordered a CT scan to check for internal bleeding, but all things considered, I'd say you're in miraculously good shape.

Huh.

Pretty hot.

The Marshal wants a word.

The warrant.

If he got it, it's over.

♪♪ I think it's over either way.

♪♪ I assume that's your court order.

It should be.

But?

But you've got some serious juice.

A cease-and-desist order from the Deputy AG herself and a gag order.

My entire team's gonna have to sign NDAs, make like this never happened.

It's nothing personal.

I appreciate your needing to dot your I's and cross your T's.

If I were in your position, I would have done the same.

But you're not in my position.

I'm here to arrest a criminal.

You're protecting him.

Our task force does good work.

I'm sure you do.

Sometimes.

But what that order tells me is that you've got a tiger by the tail, and that means for every job well done, there's a corner that gets cut, a rule that gets bent, an I that doesn't get dotted, a T that doesn't get crossed.

And...

nothing personal...

but if I was you, I couldn't live with myself.

♪♪ ESI: Well, this sure worked out.

Now we've got Reddington after us and the FBI.

Really?

How?

Because this, right here, this is about as not okay as I've ever felt.

bodies.

ESI: What?

A few years ago, Reddington's cleaner unearthed the bodies of people he'd k*lled.

Handed them over to the FBI.

Evidence of murders.

And he's still out there.

I've seen how he does it.

Stays one step ahead.

I know how he does it.

And we can do it, too.

When you thought I was gone, you realized how dull life would be without me.

If by "dull", you mean normal, then, yes.

And it was very peaceful.

What do you want?

I want to thank you.

You told me to think like a criminal, and now I am one.

You prepared me for this.

Maybe because you knew it was inevitable, but because you did, I'm ready and I'm coming for you.

That would be such a mistake.

I don't think so.

You're sick, you're old.

Yes, I have my liabilities.

But then, of course, I have so many assets.

Well, I have something you'll never have.

I'm willing to k*ll you.

You don't have it in you to k*ll me, and you never will, and that's why I'm gonna win.

Maybe.

The truth is, after all these years, I'm not sure I...

I know how you feel about Elizabeth.

Yet... you k*lled her mother.

How could you do that to someone you love?

She might.

Some day.

But before then...

I fear she may...

do something that...

And of all the tragedies that you and I have experienced together, that would be the most tragic.

We have to do...

Good.

But...

how do we even start?

By putting Elizabeth Keen at the top of the Blacklist.
