We moved $ million worth last year,

So not exactly an arrangement

Not if you like making % of

Because Oleg has always been

That's $ million annually.

He sues. He loses.

And what does the winner do?

Mr. McHenry goes home and performs

a reverse pike off of his balcony.

admitting his guilt.

Mm. I hear rumors that the su1c1de note

and Mr. McHenry's untimely demise

were the work of the Avenging Angel.

Michael. From Amsterdam.

Bruges.

Her insistent effort to restore
wartime plunder to its rightful owners,

among her other avid pursuits,

is often nasty business.

Which I recall you agreed with.

What the hell happened to us?

Michael? As in the archangel?

The one that God sent
to fight the devil?

A job she does with
an almost heavenly zeal,

stealing from those who have stolen,

returning what was unjustly taken.

Sounds angelic to me.

According to Raymond,
she rights these wrongs

through m*rder, extortion,
random acts of v*olence.

When a Japanese court
acquitted executives

of responsibility
for the nuclear meltdown

in Fukushima, she committed
a ransomware att*ck,

extracting millions
for displaced victims.

Over the course of a decade,

she committed so many acts of terror

against a small Florida town
that local officials

eventually agreed to her demands

and gave back land to the descendants

of Black families who had been

run off their property in the s.

And yesterday, she murders
the CEO of Genocyte

and makes it look likes
a guilt-ridden su1c1de.

Complete with a taped confession.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

I leave my shares of Genocyte

to the person
they rightfully belong to...

Andrew Freeson.

Please forgive me, Andy.

Does Reddington have any idea
who her next target is?

He doesn't know her target,

whether she acts alone,
or is a hired g*n.

If someone did hire her
to k*ll Adam McHenry,

chances are it's the man who thinks

McHenry made a fortune
after stealing his I.P.

Andrew Freeson sued
for his fair share and lost.

Now McHenry's dead

I think that merits a sit-down.

He admitted to cheating you

A confession? That's the first
I'm hearing of that.

Well, you spent years in court

trying to get what you say you deserved.

Now, you lost, but now...

McHenry winds up dead and
you get everything after all.

Are you suggesting I had
something to do with his death?

That I k*lled my best friend?

You mean the liar and the cheat?

Sure, that's who he was,

but he was also my oldest friend.

Where were you last night?

I had lost in court, so I was at home,

drinking, blogging my troubles.

I work in tech, okay?

Okay, so, Freeson said
that thing about blogging,

so I looked up his online footprint,

and the guy's got profiles everywhere.

And then... And then I found this.

This is Thread-Net.

It's an online discussion platform

sort of like Reddit, and it looks like

Freeson found a deep

about the court case,
McHenry, his betrayal.

But in a few hours, trust me,

It's kind of beautiful.

The heart of an artist.

And the mind of a k*ller.
What did you track down?

Okay, so, I ran the hospital
bracelet that we found on-site.

No baby name, but the year was ' .

Sant'Agata Hospital, outside Rome.

The mother was a Michaela Bellucci.

No father's name listed.

Michaela to Michael.

Pretty close if this is our angel.

- Is this a hospital photo?
- No.

So, Dembe also found
a rosary at the scene,

and the cross was inscribed
with the name of a local convent

right near that hospital.

The convent was listed as Michaela's

place of residence
at the time of the birth.

Don't tell me our Avenging
Angel is a former nun.

It's deeper than that.

Turns out, Michaela was
a young, unwed mother,

practically a deadly sin
to some back then.

Her parents all but disowned her.

The convent took in hundreds

of similar cases like this at that time.

There have been
investigations into places like this

all over Europe.

She would have been kept like a prisoner

for the length of her pregnancy,

and when she finally gave birth,

she would have been forced
to give the baby up for adoption.

They took her baby.

And now our angel steals back

for those who have had
precious things stolen.

While carrying around
a hospital bracelet

and an old rosary.

She never let go of her past.

Michaela Bellucci barely has a past.

She disappears off all public records

shortly after the birth.

Why would she want to do
something to my husband?

MICHAEL: I don't want
to do something to you.

I want to give something to you.

Why was your husband
going to the pharmacy?

He had a pacemaker installed.


He was going to pick up his
heart meds, blood thinners.

He can't survive without them.

He has congestive heart failure.

I want to give you a heart,

specifically his heart.

Come on. You can't do that.

I don't want you to hurt him.

Why not? He didn't care
that he hurt you.

Mr. Conrad, if you will.
How did you do it?

My husband worked for a
steel company for years.

When his heart got bad, they helped him

get on the national transplant list.

When an organ becomes available,

it's first offered to people
near the donor's hospital,

based on their placement on a wait list.

It took almost a year, but e-eventually,

William got to the top of the list.

And in this case, the hospital was St.
Damian's.

Is that your hospital?

Yes.

JANELLE: We were so excited.

The next heart was going to be his.

William Green lives in the
donation radius of St. Damian's.

Derek Huntley lives on
the other side of the state.

Can you explain that?

HUNTLEY: There are thousands of people

on donor lists all across the country.

I'm sorry that this man
did not get a heart,

but that is not my fault.

But it is his fault, wasn't it?

Derek offered to fully pay
for our new pediatric wing

if I could ensure the first
heart available was his.

So if your husband
was on the top of the list,

why didn't he receive a transplant?

JANELLE: He was at the top.
He's not anymore.

- Why not?
- He failed a test.

A-A blood test.

They were pretty vague about it.

After that, William kept
getting bumped down the list.

So Mr. Huntley bribed his way
to the front of the line,

effectively sentencing
Mr. Green to death.

JANELLE: He doesn't have much time.

(VOICE BREAKING) I just wanted
the last couple months...

I want him to be at peace.

And now I don't understand
why this happened.

Why would someone
want to do this to him?

One more thing, Mrs. Green.

Have you ever posted on
any discussion groups online,

maybe a prayer group,

asking for your husband
to find a new heart?

How did you know that?

I didn't do anything to this man.

I did something for myself.

That's the way the world works.

I know.

That's why I'm so busy.

Shall we?

HUNTLEY: Wait. Wait. Wait.

You're guessing.

Yeah, but it's an educated guess.

Look at the facts. Two months ago,

William Green was number one

on the donor list for a new heart.

He's near a hospital. He's ready to go.

But suddenly, he gets a series
of disqualifying test results

that bump him down the list.

Around the same time,
a new pediatric wing

at St. Damian's is named
in honor of Derek Huntley.

It's time for your drug test.

If you need me, it can wait.

What we need is you to
be reinstated. Good luck.

If that is what she's doing,

- Not yet.

You won't believe this.

Who sent this?

A fence in Baltimore. Jericho.

After all these years.

He has a well-heeled client list.

We need to act quickly.

Whatever the asking price, double it.

I know what to do about the painting.
What about the owner?

Tell Mr. Jericho the price
comes on one condition.

I want a sit-down

what he knows about the
provenance of the painting.

For his sake, I hope it's not much.

You need to see my birthday suit?

I just had it tailored.

That won't be necessary.

Arms up, palms toward me.

(GRUNTS) Is that necessary?

Just following protocol.

However did you find it?

In the case of history

- From the current owner's apartment.

(CHUCKLES) I realize it's no recompense,

Sentimental reparation.

Excuse me. Jericho.

Yes, double the price is good.

Twenty minutes.

All I need is an address.

I'm terribly sorry, Ada,

So it's really mine to keep?

It was always yours.

It's just been in the wrong

This constant ringing.
I feel like Quasimodo.

- (CHUCKLES)

I was going to call you. Perfect timing.

COOPER: It's not perfect
for Derek Huntley.

Apparently, he cut in line
for a transplant

and got the heart that was
supposed to go to someone else.

Our angel is about to
balance the scales,

which means she'll m*rder Huntley,

and we don't know where.

Derek Huntley the billionaire?

I think you're missing the point.

- Good talk, Harold.

Reddington, are you...

- Sir, the pacemaker has Bluetooth.
- Is it still active?

No, but the last known GPS ping
came from the warehouse district

- north of the city.
- It's a pretty big district.

And we were right about
the transplant surgery.

- How do you know?
- The same way I know

they're in the warehouse
on th and Roosevelt.

It is the only one
that had surgical equipment

delivered to it in the past month.

Relay that to the tac team.
Have them standing by.

(MONITOR BEEPING)

Kn*fe down. Back up.

This is none of your concern.

You're here about the painting.

I have the painting, yes,
but that's not why I'm here.

I'm here about this particular
game of hearts you're playing,

and it's your turn to discard.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

If you knew what you were talking about,

you would not call this a game.

A psychopathology, then.

My guess would be that you had
something important taken from you.

More important than anything else.

So now you right wrongs

and avenge others who've
had something taken from them.

If you know that's what I'm doing,
why would you stop it?

Order. Harmony.

Balancing the scales.

So good is rewarded
and evil is punished.

Most of us want that.
I know I certainly do.

And if that's what you were doing here,
I wouldn't interrupt.

Do you know who this man is?

Do you know what
Huntley did to this man?

Yes, and it's abhorrent.

But I also know what else he's done.

He as much as m*rder*d this man.

Perhaps.

But he also paid for a pediatric clinic

that's in the business of
saving children's lives.

He's contributed to research

that has eliminated certain
deadly childhood diseases

that have afflicted poor
children around the world.

That man is no saint.

No, he's not. He's a sinner.

But you think that's all he is.

In your binary world,
that's all you see,

so when you do your math,

the answer you come to
is that he deserves to die.

My math is different.

You and everyone else,

taking the side of the rich
over the poor.

That's not what I'm doing.

That is exactly what you are doing.

By stopping this,
William Green will die.

The decent,
honest steelworker will be sacrificed

for the rapacious hedge-fund manager.

Who said anything about letting him die?

- What's his blood type?
- O-negative.

He needs a heart.

And he's going to get one.
Just not Huntley's.

What's your blood type?

O-negative.

(CHUCKLES) Boy, that's lucky.

And you're about the same size.

Not perfect, but this is how
my math works out.

There is an avenging angel
for all of us.

This will not keep you from yours.

I certainly hope not.

Get on the comms and tell Cooper.

Tell him what?

That Mr. Green is alive and
breathing with a new heart.

But for Michael, we were too late.

(MONITOR BEEPING)

COOPER: The blacklister is dead.

Her heart transplanted to William Green,

but I suspect you know all of this.

Sometimes even an avenging
angel needs an avenging angel.

You found the blacklister
on your own and k*lled her.

Why bring us the case at all?

If you're asking if I had
an angle to play, I didn't.

Until you told me about Derek Huntley.

How did that change the equation?

It gave me the opportunity to
make a powerful acquaintance.

In my experience, you can't have
too many of those in your debt.

What's the difference between
what you do and what Michael did?

She fancied herself
judge, jury and executioner.

How are you any different?

Oh, my goodness.
We couldn't be more different.

She judged people
based on their worst day,

by the most terrible sin they committed.

Shouldn't we be judged by that?

I don't think so.

If that were the standard,
we'd all be found wanting.

Then by what standard
should we be judged,

if not by the worst day of our life?

By every other day.

We all have the devil in us, Harold,

but the best of us have angels, too.
