- Name? - Walter Pruitt.

Name?

Margaret Hopkins.

Name?

Dan.

Dan.

Thank you all for coming.

I know it wasn't easy to get here in your current condition.

On the bright side, you won't be in your current condition for much longer.

To be clear, the procedure that we suggest today

has not been approved by the FDA.

In fact, you'll each have to inject yourselves.

It's a crime for us to do it for you.

We ask that you administer the treatment at the same time.

He's seizing.

No. No.

Cooper talked to the attorney general this morning.

Officially, your immunity agreement never existed.

- They won't let me see Marvin Gerard. - There are other lawyers.

I'm being denied my counsel of choice.

A public defender's been assigned for the arraignment. You hear what I said?

Cooper's been ordered not to inform the court about the task force.

- They're going to prosecute you. - Of course.

They're political animals.

In the short run, justice always loses to politics.

Aren't you worried?

You've been indicted for at least half a dozen capital offenses.

I'm confident I'll prevail.

I want to talk about the news the marshals have been watching.

Yeah, you've been the top story on every channel.

I'm not talking about me.

There was a story about bodies found in a Virginia warehouse.

I saw. Some underground medical experiment?

What if I told you I knew who conducted that experiment?

His name is Dr. Spalding Stark.

He's the next name on the Blacklist.

You're facing the death penalty and giving us a case?

Rigidity. Bradykinesis.

Yes. I'm certain our treatment can help.

Dr. Stark presents as a renegade.

A bio hacker devoutly dedicated to enhancing human life

by hacking our genetics.

What do you mean he presents that way?

He approached a company of mine a year ago,

asked for help acquiring some advanced gene-editing equipment.

I must say, he was very convincing.

It's just so expensive.

I know. I'm sorry.

But we're doing this on our own

without the R&D budget of a big pharmaceutical powerhouse.

Some of our most revolutionary scientific achievements

come from minds outside the mainstream.

I helped him because I thought he was quite possibly a visionary.

- And now? - And now there are five dead bodies

in a warehouse suggesting otherwise.

Now I fear Stark may be the worst kind of charlatan,

the kind who preys on the weakest among us for his own financial gain.

My daughter's pregnant. I want to see my grandchild.

I can get you the money.

All rise. United States v. Raymond Reddington.

C-R 18-3656.

Magistrate Judge Roberta Wilkins now presiding.

Morning. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Sima for the United States.

Jerome Lonnergan from the Office of the Federal Public Defender for the accused.

Waive reading of the rights and charges but not the rights thereunder.

So waived.

Given the defendant's history, the government asks he be remanded.

I'm gonna calendar this for a month from today.

A month from today would be perfect, Your Honor. Thank you.

Your Honor, may I be heard?

I don't recommend it, Mr. Reddington. You have an attorney.

I strongly suggest you let him do the talking.

I would, Your Honor, no question.

Given how quickly things are proceeding,

I get the distinct impression Jerry has a bus to catch.

I'm sorry. Are we moving too fast for you, Mr. Reddington?

I'm just saying there are important matters to discuss.

Such as?

Well, for starters, Your Honor hasn't really considered the issue of bail.

Sir, you have been a federal fugitive for nearly three decades,

the FBI's number-one most wanted.

You are the textbook definition of a flight risk and a danger to the community.

Now let me be clear.

Even if you were prepared to submit every dollar in circulation on the planet,

I still wouldn't grant you bail, ever.

Okay. I, for one, feel better knowing it was considered.

Anything else?

I'm afraid so.

May we approach?

Carefully.

You hang here, Jerry. This will only take a sec.

Look at my face, Mr. Reddington. I'm not amused.

And I assure you, neither am I.

But the fact remains the prosecution has intentionally failed

to inform the court of a critical factor in this case.

And that is?

My immunity agreement with the federal government,

an agreement that expressly covers the charges before you

and protects me from overzealous beavers like Mr. Sima and his bosses.

Good Lord. You're a confidential informant. Mr. Sima?

If there's an agreement, I haven't seen any evidence to prove it.

That's hardly a denial.

Mr. Reddington, is there anything you can offer this court

to support the existence of an immunity agreement?

Assistant Director Harold Cooper of the FBI is here.

He may be able to shed some light on the matter.

Assistant Director Cooper, step up please.

Sir.

Mr. Cooper, I'm going to ask you this once and only once.

To your knowledge, is there currently an immunity agreement in place

with this defendant? Yes or no?

Yes.

Chambers, all of you, now!

You, talk.

I run a task force.

Officially, it doesn't exist.

Its purpose is to arrest high-priority targets

using intelligence obtained from Mr. Reddington.

Main Justice made a deal with the devil himself?

Shouldn't judges at least pretend to be impartial?

Your Honor, as I said, if such a deal exists...

Oh, it exists. Harold and I have been at this for over five years now.

Some of the people who approved it are either dead or have moved on,

leaving Director Cooper to deal with the cover-their-asses crowd,

who are perfectly happy to milk this cow all the way to the slaughterhouse.

I'm sure the first question they asked in response to my arrest

was whether I could still continue to be an effective asset

while locked up in jail, am I right?

Mr. Cooper, you tell your superiors at Main Justice

I just ordered a hearing on the scope of the agreement.

And I want a copy of it on my desk today.

I can't rule on a contract I haven't seen. Understood?

Good.

We'll reconvene in the morning.

Mr. Reddington, you have an attorney who has no idea what he's gotten into.

I suggest you fill him in.

- I don't think that'll be necessary. - Why is that?

Because after careful consideration of the circumstances,

I feel it more prudent to represent myself.

His name is Spalding Stark.

This guy is, like, a total icon in the biohacking community.

There are icons in the biohacking community?

Oh, yeah. I've been reading about this guy for years.

I saw a live stream in 2009 where he injected himself

with a homemade malaria vaccine.

- Why would he do that? - To prove it was safe.

The FDA wouldn't authorize human trials without a ton of red tape.

So, get this, the plan was to inject himself with the vaccine.

Then let an infected Anopheles mosquito bite him live.

- It worked? - No.

He suffered a catastrophic hyper-immune response.

Paralyzed half his face along with his left arm and leg.

- And that makes him an icon? - Yeah.

He put his body on the line to improve the human condition.

Well, he didn't stop there.

If Reddington's right, he just killed five of his patients.

- Think that's why he gave us this case? - Meaning you don't?

He's in federal prison about to start the legal fight of his life.

I don't know why this guy's a priority.

But I guarantee we're not getting the whole story.

Officer Flynn? Agents Ressler and Navabi.

Captain said you'd be coming.

- Bodies inside? - Yes, sir.

And we also kept the building owner on site, just like you asked.

Warren Kirby? We understand you're the one who called 911?

Yeah. Yes, sir.

Sorry, still a little shaken up by what I saw.

What can you tell us about what happened?

Not much. I mean, I don't really know. I own the building.

It's a storage space. I rent it out month-to-month.

So it was rented?

Several days ago by a guy named Stark.

Never met him. Just called the office and booked it.

He wanted to store medical equipment.

I came by this morning to check things, make sure everything got loaded in.

Nobody was here. The front door was unlocked.

I went in, and that's when I saw the bubble and the bodies.

Dr. Maguire. What have we got?

Well, we still have to ID two of the bodies.

But the others were suffering from end stages of MCDD.

It's Motor Cortex Degenerative Disease.

- These people were already dying. - Yes.

The question is, "What were they injected with? Why'd they all die so fast?"

You're set, Mr. Ames.

We received your wire transfer.

Our preliminary exams all indicate

that you're an excellent candidate for my new treatment.

How does it work exactly?

Your disease is caused by multiple chromosomal defects.

I identified them and created a viral payload

that has all of the genetic material in its corrected order.

Excuse me.

- What? - Look, I know you want to continue.

- But after... - I'm not stopping.

Last time was my mistake.

I pushed too far.

We can make adjustments.

Looks like somebody forgot something.

Looks like part of a jet injector. The force of his weight must have broken it apart.

Is that how Stark administered the medication?

Yes, but I don't think I've ever seen one quite like this.

It's custom. It's very sci-fi.

I can show it to Aram.

See if he knows someone who can figure out where it came from.

I'll reach out to an expert on MCDD.

We need to know what we're dealing with.

Are you really gonna give her a copy of the agreement?

Judge Wilkins is waiting. I'm not sure I have much choice.

- Don't. - If I don't, Reddington goes to prison.

Maybe worse. And this is just step one. I have to testify tomorrow.

- Convince the court he's worth saving. - He used you.

Your decency. He knew you wouldn't lie about the immunity agreement.

He knew you'd violate a direct order and damage your career.

Liz, the Reddington deal exists.

The kind of government willing to pretend it doesn't,

to deny facts and make reality whatever it says is reality I reject it.

And I won't be part of it.

I'm just going to tell the truth.

Parkinson's, Alzheimer's,

ALS, lymphoma, rheumatoid arthritis, you name it.

We have a substantial market share of the drugs sold to treat it.

And that includes Motor Cortex Degenerative Disease.

Crown Life's the leading manufacturer of Sensiprex.

What most neurologists would call state-of-the-art

- when it comes to MCDD treatment. - It's effective?

To a degree. Nobody's discovered a cure yet.

All we can do is manage the symptoms.

I'm sorry, but have you ever heard of a bio hacker named Spalding Stark?

Don't think so. Why?

We think he's out there

telling end-stage MCDD patients he's made some kind of a breakthrough.

Patients get desperate. They're willing to believe anything.

You got no idea how many crazy characters are trying to push the envelope.

Who is this guy again?

Just a friend. We trade ideas online.

Oh, don't stare at his head. He hates that.

Buddy, you made it! Come in. We ordered hot wings.

Oh, no way.

- This is Samar. Agent Navabi. - She's staring at my head. I hate that.

I'm sorry. You have a...

NFC chip in my forehead and two more in my hands.

Turns on my lights, computers and has my credit-card info.

So, what are you guys working on?

Gruber's still trying to edit his own DNA, increase his muscle tone.

It's a work in progress.

These two guys are using CRISPR, playing with a viral attack for leukemia.

We got 20 minutes before American Ninja Warrior.

We're in a new age of research.

It's notjust Big Pharma and top academics.

Amateurs are cloning DNA, editing genomes.

Teenagers are getting centrifuges for Christmas.

Got labs in bedrooms. It's terrifying.

Damn right Big Pharma's terrified. They should be.

We're the cutting edge. They know it.

They think they're cutting edge, but there's no oversight, no regulation.

"Regulation"? What about innovation?

How many brilliant minds have been stifled by the FDA's requirements?

We are the future.

Maybe not anyone in this room, but you get the idea.

- Here. Help yourself. - Sweet.

Actually, we gotta run.

I just came by to see if you had anything for us on that broken injector gun.

- You got that photo I sent? - Yeah, it's a pretty distinctive model.

I think I know who sells it. A company called NexHack.

Yeah, here we go.

It's fairly new. These are the founders and the guys who funded development.

- Oh, my God. That's Warren Kirby. - Who?

He's the owner of the storage facility. He found the victims and called 911.

He lied to us.

For the record, I have reviewed the immunity agreement.

The courtroom has now been cleared to protect the defendant's role

as the confidential informant.

This hearing is sealed in accordance with the Classified Evidence Protection Act.

Mr. Reddington has called Assistant Director Harold Cooper to the stand.

The witness has been sworn in.

Mr. Reddington, I'm ready if you are.

Thank you.

Hello, Harold. Thank you, by the way.

- For what? - Being honest.

I regret I had to rely upon your integrity to get this hearing.

- I wish there'd been an easier way. - Objection.

- I haven't even asked anything yet. - Something tells me that's the objection.

Do you have a question for Director Cooper?

Just one, Your Honor, and it's this. Would you do it again?

- Excuse me? - The deal we made.

My cooperation in exchange for my freedom.

As the man who oversaw the arrangement in its grand and gory detail,

would you do it again?

- Yes. - Why?

Sorry, I had two questions.

Because it saved lives.

I don't know how many. Maybe thousands.

- Objection! Move to strike. - Oh, for goodness sake.

I fail to see how this witness's subjective assessment of the agreement

has any relevance to its scope as a matter of law.

- Overruled. - Objection.

On what grounds? I ruled in your favor.

I object to everything about him.

Beginning with his power tie and his general demeanor.

- Enough. - Objection.

Mr. Reddington, if you are going to insist on representing yourself,

you will conform yourself to the rules of the court.

- Thank you, Your Honor. - Same goes for you, counsel.

Let the witness speak.

We made this deal for one reason.

So you could help us find those criminals we never knew existed. You've done that.

Violent people, evil people are dead or in prison because of you.

In some cases,

we recovered dangerous weapons or avoided catastrophic outbreaks.

- Your Honor... - Let me finish!

A few years ago, we learned some criminals were inside our government.

The attorney general, a National Security advisor,

people our country depends on to maintain law and order.

To be clear, none of that would've happened without Mr. Reddington.

So would I do it again?

You're damn right I would.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

You lied to us, Mr. Kirby. You said you never knew Mr. Stark.

That's the truth.

So it's a coincidence that Stark was using a jet injector

made by a company that you were invested in?

Okay, look.

Maybe I do know him.

But I swear, I wasn't there when...

If you were working with him, conning people, you're an accomplice.

- You're gonna be charged with murder. - No, no, no.

You don't understand. I wasn't in this for money.

This was personal.

I was diagnosed with MCDD almost 11 years ago.

Stark was my pharmacist at Greene Drugs.

I used to see him when I go in to get meds.

He could see I was getting worse.

My body wasn't responding to the existing treatments anymore.

One day, he asked if I might be open to a more experimental approach.

You're saying Stark's treatment cured you?

He came to me a few weeks ago.

Asked me to lend him my warehouse so he could expand his work.

When I went to the warehouse and saw what happened...

Stark was already gone.

I didn't know what to do.

I'm telling you, Spalding Stark isn't a con man.

He documented my case. I have copies of the files. I can show you.

He's the only reason I'm alive.

You are aware the defendant has been indicted on multiple counts of treason?

- I am. - For selling this nation's

most classified secrets, for betraying our country?

- Yes. - You're aware that

for 30 years, he's maintained a vast criminal empire,

that the charges against him as the so-called "Concierge of Crime"

are so extensive and so heinous,

they occupy a unique place in our country's history?

I'm aware of the allegations.

I'm sorry. "Allegations"? Is it your position that the defendant is innocent?

Until proven guilty.

Or is it your position I should ignore the Constitution?

My position, sir, is that some people are irredeemable.

That a deal granting immunity to a man like Reddington

is beneath the dignity of a country that prides itself on the rule of law.

Objection. He's arguing with the man and being self-righteous.

Sustained, the first part, the arguing. Move on, counsel.

Sir, is there no one you wouldn't make a deal with?

If not this defendant, is anyone too offensive to be given a free pass?

- Well, now he's just being insulting. - I said move on, counsel.

To be clear, nobody gave Mr. Reddington a free pass.

He has to earn his freedom. There are rules he has to abide by.

I see.

And does he abide by them?

- Yes. - Really?

So he hasn't committed any crimes since becoming your informant?

I won't discuss specific cases.

What we do is classified and often involves national security.

- Okay, Your Honor... - You opened the door to this, director.

Does he abide by the rules or not?

I'll ask you again. To your knowledge,

has Raymond Reddington committed any unsanctioned crimes

since becoming an informant for your task force?

I have no direct knowledge that he has. No.

Is there any idea which way Wilkins is leaning?

Could go either way. I thought she'd rule after my testimony yesterday.

But she wants to hear arguments first.

- Courtroom's cleared. We can't watch. - It's up to Reddington now.

We're back and free to lend a hand on Stark.

Stark worked as a pharmacist in one of the Greenes in D.C.

That's how he met Kirby.

It's how he established contact with the five victims from the warehouse.

Greene is a national chain.

Stark was accessing its database and reaching out to patients with MCDD.

Those five weren't the only ones. See how many people he contacted.

There's a chance he's done other trials. We could have more bodies.

I'll do it. I'm going crazy waiting about Reddington.

Guys, guys. I went through Kirby's files.

- Everything he told us is true. - Stark's treatment works?

It started with his injuries.

That malaria vaccine he developed, it damaged his motor cortex.

Which is why he started studying all this stuff in the first place.

He documented everything.

How he mapped out the multi-allelic defects.

How he developed a viral payload

designed to produce hybrid cells with corrected genomes.

You believe he cured Kirby's condition?

He reversed it, no question.

Reddington's impression was right. Stark's a visionary.

If that's true, what happened at that warehouse?

I had the same question. I went to the forensics lab

and got a copy of the preliminary tox report.

You won't believe what they found.

- Sabotage? - This is the treatment used on you.

This is the one used on the five victims from the warehouse.

They're identical except for one key component,

an extremely rare nerve agent called Cylovex.

- A nerve agent? - That's what killed those people.

And whoever put it in there didn't expect the toxicology lab to find it

- for good reason. - Cylovex wouldn't be on anyone's radar.

But with all the news of the Russians allegedly using Novichok in England,

the FBI lab is on high alert for anything like it now.

Stark has a partner. His name is Ethan Webb.

He synthesizes all of Stark's formulations including mine.

Ethan wouldn't do it, never.

- Why not? - I just told you, they're partners.

They're friends. I don't believe Ethan would kill those people.

Can you imagine immunity for Raymond Reddington?

Immunity for a man who betrayed America

for number one on the most wanted list. Thousands of crimes,

and how many victims? I can't even guess.

This wasn't a deal.

It was a conspiracy.

An unjust and illegal conspiracy

to deprive the American people of justice.

There is nothing this defendant can do now

that will erase the memory or the impact of what he's already done.

Your Honor, this court has the power

and the obligation to reject government conduct

that shocks the conscience.

Conduct so outrageous

it offends the canons of decency and fairness that define our civilized society.

And that's what this agreement does.

This agreement should be void as a matter of public policy.

Throw it out. Tell the defendant no more.

Justice demands no less.

All right, that's him. Dr. Ethan Webb.

According to his profile, he's a synthetic biologist

and a molecular virologist.

And guess where he used to work.

"Crown Life." That's the company I met.

They're the leading manufacturer of MCDD medication.

He used to work for Big Pharma?

Up until two years ago when he was fired and left the company in disgrace.

- Fired for what? - Stealing proprietary data.

They suspected he was working on a cure.

That must be when he partnered up with Stark.

If they were working together, why sabotage their progress?

If there is a cure, it's gonna be worth money.

So maybe Webb wants it all to himself.

Something's off. We're missing something.

This decision was made many years ago.

The fact is a small group at the Department of Justice

did their due diligence.

With the blessing of the attorney general and legal counsel at the White House,

they concluded that the benefit that law enforcement

and the American people would gain from my assistance

would exceed that of the rather abstract benefit

of seeing a man of my alleged infamy

being punished in a public fashion.

There can be no question

they were legitimately exercising their prosecutorial discretion.

They made a judgment call, one that apparently offends Mr. Sima.

And, clearly, he's not alone.

I'd imagine there are any number of people

from prosecutors to plumbers who,

despite knowing virtually nothing about me

or the events of the last five years,

nonetheless would find my arrangement with the government wildly unacceptable.

And to be clear, that's fine.

Debate and disagreement are at the core of any true democracy.

Argument is necessary.

Perfectly reasonable juries will often differ.

On a side note, I once went fly fishing for a trout in the Roaring Fork Valley,

where, inexplicably, I stumbled upon Justice Antonin Scalia,

may God rest his soul.

And, boy, did we have some real barn burners.

My word, that man could argue.

Six hours hip deep in whitewater.

With the yelling, neither of us got so much as an alevin.

Objection. What's the point of this?

The point, Mr. Sima, is that your outrage doesn't concern me.

What concerns me is that the powerful men and women who made this deal

and those who reaped the benefits of it for years

actually considered it an option to deny its existence.

They decided to say that what happened never happened.

The sad fact is the facts have never mattered less than they do today.

We're living in a time when...

truth has been so diminished in value

that even those at the top of government are quite comfortable

with truth being whatever they can convince people to believe.

That is what I find wildly unacceptable.

The truth certainly matters, Your Honor, in rooms like this most of all.

And the truth is, whether you, or he,

or anyone else likes it or not...

that immunity agreement exists.

We got a problem. I did what you said.

Followed up to see if Stark's contacted other patients

- using the Greene Drugs database. - Don't tell me he's done this before.

I don't think he has done it before, but he is definitely about to do it again.

He's reached out to late-stage MCDD patients over the past few days.

He's conducting another trial. I talked to one of the patient's wives.

It's happening today in a storage facility in Highland Park.

Get there, the three of you. Agent Mojtabai, notify local PD.

If Webb sabotaged those doses, all those people are about to die.

Thank you all for coming.

Almost done.

Ethan.

I know you didn't want to do this.

I know you're only here because of our friendship.

- You don't have to... - No, I do.

I want you to know how much I value our partnership.

How much I appreciate you standing by me, no matter what.

I just need a minute to finish.

FBI. What do we got?

No visuals, no movement. Tactical's getting ready to blow the doors.

Do it now.

As discussed, we need you to inject yourselves.

We ask that you administer the treatment at the same time.

FBI.

Everybody, show me your hands!

FBI. Everyone, freeze!

Put those down now.

Aram, we were too late.

We have a patient down.

Judge Wilkins cleared us to be present for the ruling.

Elizabeth is on her way.

- Thank you, Harold. - All rise.

So here we are at the end of a hearing nobody wanted me to have

about an agreement nobody wanted me to see.

It's times like these I'm grateful that federal judges are appointed for life.

I'm not as brave as Director Cooper.

I agree with Mr. Sima.

There are certain actions that fall beneath the standard

our citizens have the right to expect

from a country that prides itself on the rule of law.

I honestly don't know whether Mr. Reddington is guilty

of the multitude of crimes which he's been charged.

He's never been tried.

That is the problem.

To deem this deal the abomination that Mr. Sima would have me believe,

I'd have to first accept Mr. Reddington is the monster he's alleged to be.

Our Constitution requires otherwise.

I don't like this deal.

But like it or not,

the federal government has benefited from it for five years.

They can't pretend they haven't.

And neither will I.

Accordingly, this court finds Mr. Reddington's immunity agreement

legally binding.

- Objection. - Thank you.

We really should do this again some time.

- May I be heard? - Your objection is noted.

- The agreement stands. - Then, he violated it.

Excuse me?

The agreement bars us from prosecuting the defendant unless he violated it.

Under the terms, we would then have a right to declare it null and void.

- Oh, please. Violated it how? - The gun.

When you were arrested, you had an unregistered weapon.

- That's a state crime. - Yes.

Until someone scratched the serial number off of it.

- That made it a federal offense. - He's right.

I don't imagine this agreement lets you walk around with a defaced firearm.

If you violated your obligations under the deal,

you've forfeited its protections.

The gun would have to be admissible in evidence.

Why wouldn't it be?

The officer who seized it was conducting an unreasonable search and seizure.

I see.

I take it then that you are moving to exclude the gun

and request a suppression hearing?

I am and I do.

Granted.

Well, look at that. Your wish came true.

It seems we will get to do this again soon.

The gun hearing is in a week.

You have to argue the officer didn't have probable cause.

Where are they taking me?

If the search was bad, the gun will be suppressed.

- They can't say you violated your deal. - Elizabeth, I'll be fine.

Will you do me a favor and ask one of the marshals where I'm being transported?

Harold?

What happened yesterday on the stand?

It's done.

You testified because you value the truth. It couldn't have been easy.

I protected myself and my team.

Yes, well...

a lucky confluence of interests.

I admit, for a moment, I thought you might decide that our time together should end.

I considered it.

You should know I gave Agent Keen that option.

And she asked that we continue.

Gun hearing's in two weeks. They're gonna transfer you to Colton.

For security, they want you in an actual prison and not pre-trial detention.

We can talk more once I'm settled.

I haven't told you about Stark.

- You got him? - You were right about him.

Apparently, he's brilliant.

He was being sabotaged by his partner, a guy named Ethan Webb.

And this Webb, he confessed?

I gotta say I'm glad that you pulled that injector gun.

That means I get to add attempted murder

to the homicides you're gonna be charged with.

That's right. We know about the Cylovex.

You don't have to believe me, but I was trying to help them.

I do believe you, Mr. Stark.

Those people didn't die because of your error. They were poisoned.

- Poisoned? - By a nerve agent called Cylovex.

Dr. Webb betrayed you. He...

He...

Not "subverted."

He intentionally undermined your research.

Ethan wouldn't. Why would he do that?

He was never my partner.

You started working together after you were fired by Crown Life.

I wasn't fired from Crown Life.

That was a lie, a smokescreen designed by my bosses

to enhance my credibility with the biohacking community.

Make them believe I was a kindred spirit.

You targeted Stark.

I want a deal. If you expect me to testify against the company...

Any deal is gonna have to be approved by the U.S. attorney.

Now, you tell us the truth, I'll make sure they know you cooperated.

It's the best I can do.

He was assigned to befriend me?

Crown Life knew that you were working on MCDD.

Concerned you might make a breakthrough.

So they sent Ethan to sabotage my research and steal my ideas,

so they could mass market a cure.

Crown Life doesn't want to market your cure. They want to bury it.

The company makes billions providing the drugs to treat MCDD.

They can make 10 times as much treating it as they can selling a cure.

I'm gonna get a warrant for the company. Webb gave us the names of everyone.

- Am I being sent to prison? - Probably, but not for long.

You'll have to answer for the bodies, but your part in this wasn't criminal.

Ethan and I were a good team.

He had me so fooled.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes it's the people closest to you you have to watch out for.

Mr. Pascal.

We meet again.

Oh, hey, come in.

Cooper told me about the gun hearing.

I don't understand. You know Raymond always carries a weapon.

That doesn't make it legal.

Around here, when it comes to Reddington, we see what we want to see.

Are you okay?

I'm confused.

Someone betrayed us, and I haven't been able to figure out who.

- If there's anything I can do... - There is.

Mr. Stark. I need to speak with him privately for Raymond.

It cannot be recorded.

He always has his own agenda.

What is it this time?

- We don't have much time. - Dembe, how did you...?

I go where Mr. Reddington sends me.

He's very concerned. He made an investment into your research.

- If you're unable to deliver on schedule... - Tell Reddington I'm making progress.

My situation won't interfere.

I certainly hope not.

Mr. Reddington is counting on you.

Sabotage.

He sabotaged your research.

Dr. Webb betrayed you.

He sabotaged your research.

Hey.

Everything cool?

- Yes. - Let's get out of here. I am starving.

Two-one-two transport is in the lead.

We need another team over at the sally port at main.

Mr. Reddington, welcome home.
