HELLER: When I agreed to launder
the money for Townsend,

you said it would
all fly under the radar,

and now I've got the IRS
breathing down my neck.

Have you spoken with
any of your associates about

- our arrangement?
- Did you hear what I said?

I could go to prison!

Your associates. Do they know?

Just Charlie.

I had to. He... He does our accounting.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

Do you have a good feeling about this?

All I know is corporate
sent this guy to advise

about the IRS thing.

He's like a consultant.

I'm sure we have nothing to worry about.

Companies get audited
all the time, right?

- Yeah.
- [CHUCKLES] Right.

Alright, I think we're all set here.

All set? What's the plan?

You said you were taking care of this!

Mr. Heller, I've already
taken care of it.

By this time tomorrow,
the audit will be closed.

I don't understand.

If it's taken care of, why are you here?

To ask you to move away from the window.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- Please.
- No! No, no!

No, no, no, no!

How's Teva?

She graduates from
Boston University in May.

It's already been four years?

She wouldn't be there if it
weren't for this one.

Oh, no, no, no, no. It was all Teva.

Although, I do write an
excellent recommendation letter.

It's an endangered talent.

I hope you asked me here
to pay back the favor.

You need something boosted,
tell me where and when,

I'll send me crew.

Thom, rumor has it
your crew does some work

for Neville Townsend.

We freelance for him.
The occasionally gig.

He picks the target, we do the job.

Proceeds get split 60-40.

Actually, they don't.

What are you talking about?

Luis Espinoza. You know him?

Sure. The jobs I do for
Townsend... he assigns them.

To you and everyone else.

Espinoza manages
all of Townsend's heisting

and boosting, his capers and pilferage.

He decides which crews
work on which jobs.

Now, you take 40%.

The crews he prefers to assign take 30%

and kick back 10% to him.

Knowing you to be a principled thief,

I assume that's not a wheel
you are greasing.

It's not.

Which could explain
why Espinoza just pulled us off

a job in Berlin.

Our take would've been seven figures.

10% of which is now being paid to him

by the crew he sent in your place.

That sniveling weasel.

Does Townsend know about this?

I don't believe so.

If he did, Espinoza would be out.

And here I thought it was
my turn to do you the favor.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Please congratulate Teva for us.

If she's interested in law school,

I know the predilections
of several Ivy League Deans.

Nice to see you, old friend.

You, too.

- Thom McCarty?
- Yeah.

We know each other?

No. Only by reputation.

Thom, this is Donald Ressler.
Careful what you say.

Black shoes, cheap suit,
flat stomach, regulation cut.

Don't get me wrong.

He's bent, just not as bent
as we might like.

I'll be on my way then.

Safe travels, Thom.

- Why must you always be early?
- [DOOR CLOSES]

Why must you only associate with crooks?

Criminals, Donald, not crooks.

You can call a prostitute an escort.

She's still a hooker.

After all these years,

you still see the world
in black and white.

Oh, I see in gray.
I just do my best to avoid it.

Along with small talk.
You said you had a case.

More like a riddle.

I recently learned that
Townsend laundered money

through a listing agency
called Kelmund Realty.

Unfortunately, the cooked books

came to the attention of the IRS.

Sounds pretty fortunate to me.

If looked at in black and white.

The gray of it is

72 hours after the IRS gave
Kelmund notice of an audit,

they no longer exist.

They vanished.

The employees, their accounts,
employment records,

articles of incorporation... gone.

Along with the IRS audit.

So, the riddle is how they
pulled off this magic trick.

It's not the how, Donald.

It's the who... Nicholas Obenrader.

RESSLER: 2009.

Yakuza profits dip during
the Great Recession.

2012.

Brazil's two largest gangs merge.

2018.

The head of Le Milieu is assassinated,

creating a power vacuum.

Three continents, three
criminal enterprises in crisis.

And according to Reddington,

one common thread... Nicholas Obenrader.

A management consultant
to criminal organizations.

For the Yakuza,
he rerouted laundered assets

through tax havens like Ireland.

He was a headhunter for
Le Milieu, and in Brazil,

he oversaw the downsizing
that occurred after the merger.

How do you downsize
a criminal enterprise?

What... do people get a golden parachute

or a bullet to the head?

Dump and cover. We're out of here in 15.

Mr. Obenrader, this is the one
who Becker said got away.

Tell Becker he's fired.
I don't like loose ends.

I'll take care of this one myself.

RESSLER: Reddington said that
Obenrader's gone in-house for Townsend.

ARAM: Well, that's why
he gave us this case.

If Townsend hired Obenrader

as his management consultant,

he'll know everything about
his organization.

It's done. We still have one more

loose end to tie up,

but your IRS problem
is no longer a problem.

Good, because it seems
I may have another problem

I need your help with.

It's come to my attention
that Espinoza may be

feathering his own nest.

If that's true, I'll be looking
for a replacement.

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

PARK: Do we have photos of Obenrader?

No. No photos, no prints,
no surveillance.

Obenrader's an alias.

We know what he does,
just not who he is.

He may have made
Kelmund Realty disappear...

- [CELLPHONE RINGS]
- ...on paper, but they had an office.

Go to it. See what you can find.

Harold Cooper.

Have you read the messages I gave you?

The ones Reddington and his handler

exchanged through the Post?

Yes, we all have.

You're on with the team.

Well, what did they say?

Any news on these mysterious assets?

No.

The messages were urgent
and vague at the same time,

but we were able to identify an address.

A cafe in Paris.

It was referred to a couple of times

in past messages
and once again recently.

COOPER: We're hoping to pull
a surveillance image

or maybe get a positive ID
on the handler.

I'm sending Aram to investigate.

April in Paris.

Have fun at the strip mall.

AGNES: Mommy, I'm done!

Oh, I'll be right there, honey.

Agnes?

How's she doing?

She's really good.

But I think we'll all be
a lot better when this is done.

So, what's the address in Paris?

♪♪

I want to help.

COOPER: I think it would be best

if we took care of this ourselves.

I'm the reason you know to go to
Paris in the first place.

I'm the one who got you
the messages to decrypt.

Which is why we shared
with you what they said.

If Aram gets a positive ID

on Reddington's handler,

will you share that with me, too?

No.

But hopefully,
we'll be able to question him

and find out what he knows.

What he knows is Reddington is N-13.

And if, or when, he tell us that,

we will take the appropriate action.

Appropriate action? Against Reddington?

I think we all know
that's never gonna happen.

It will if he's an enemy of the state.

Sit tight, Liz, and let us do our job.

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

I sometimes forget.

All this, and she's dragging
a child with her.

Liz's mom abandoned her.

She would never do the same to Agnes.

I don't understand why you think
this is a crime scene.

Because two and two doesn't equal five.

- No.
- Did they skip out on the rent?

No. They're paid up for
the next six months.

Did they leave a forwarding address?

No address, no phone number.

What bank was the rent check drawn from?

They paid cash.

Okay. So, let's do the math.

They disappear after paying
half a year's rent in cash.

They leave no forwarding address
or phone number,

and, uh, oh, yeah,
all of this after they find out

that the IRS is auditing them.

Does that add up to you?

CSI: Office has been scrubbed.

No prints or personal effects,

but there is one thing you should see.

Found blood on the windowsill
in the back storage room.

Alright, run it for DNA.
See if we can't get a match.

Looks like we got a runner.

Yeah, but running from what?

[PUNCHES LANDING]

If now's not a good time...

Loyalty, Godwin.

Nothing matters more. [GRUNTING]

About that.

I'm concerned Keen may be
feeding the FBI information.

Or she's using them to
feed information to us.

You asked me to monitor her
communications with them.

Her contact is an Agent Donald Ressler.

And who's whispering
sweet nothings to whom?

We'll know soon enough.

Keen changes her burner regularly,

but Agent Ressler's phone is FBI-issue.

I reached out to
our asset at the Bureau.

We're up on his line.

I trust Keen.

But then again, I trusted Espinoza!

And look what that got me!

My problem is I'm just too trusting,

aren't I, Mr. Espinoza?

♪♪

Espinoza's employment contract

The blood sample seems
to belong to a Charles Totten.

Who must have cut himself
trying to escape.

The employees at Kelmund Realty
didn't just disappear.

They were professionally cleaned...

Along with their prints and hard drives.

We sent a unit to Totten's home.

He's not there, and he's not
answering his phone.

But we traced a credit card purchase to

a gas station in Deer Lake.

Homeowners in the area
include a William Totten.

Could be his brother.

If you're right

Obenrader knows it and will
want to tie it off.

who the dead guy is,

and I don't remember how I got there.

All I know...

is that I'm not saying any more.

His name was Charles Totten.

So we're clear,
the CIA's filing paperwork

to move you to a black site
if you don't start talking

about your relationship
with Neville Townsend.

- Sir?
- [KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Sir, we got a hit.

I enhanced the image
of the man Mr. Reddington

was meeting with in Paris

and ran his face through the database.

Russia desk kicked him back
as one Ivan Stepanov.

He's SVR?

Officially, yes.

Not so officially, he's believed to be

a high ranking member of Zaslon,

running black op around the globe.

So Keen was right.

Reddington's using coded messages

to arrange clandestine meetings

with a known
Russian intelligence officer.

[CELLPHONE RINGING]

Uh, what are you gonna
tell Mr. Reddington?

About this and Keen? Not a word.

- How was she?
- Infuriating.

- [RINGING CONTINUES]
- But I'd be lying

if I said it didn't feel good to
be on the same team again.

I know the feeling. Reddington.

RED: Harold.
Where are you with Obenrader?

- Any progress?
- More than progress.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- Agents Park and Ressler brought him in.

Park's interrogating him now.

So, we're right on schedule.

On schedule for what?

Harold, I'm afraid I have to come clean.

I haven't been entirely
forthright with you

on this case,

and I know we discussed being...
more open and honest

with each other.

- We have.
- The truth is,

I have no expectation
that Mr. Obenrader will talk,

let alone reveal any meaningful details

about Townsend or his organization.

Mr. Obenrader understands the blowback

on his loved ones
would be far too great.

We'll see about that.

Don't... Uh, hold on, Harold.

I didn't put the man on your radar

so you could play detective.

I put the man on your radar

so that you could help me
make a new friend.

And how's that supposed to happen?

So, we're not only
in bed with Reddington,

but we're also getting into bed
with Priya Laghari?

That's correct.

Uh, back up. Who's Priya Laghari?

Only a world renowned thief
who dabbles in jewels and art

and classified intelligence.

COOPER: She's been on
the Bureau's radar for years,

but we've never come close
to catching her.

So, instead of arresting her,
we're gonna work with her.

Why enable Reddington
like this when he's been

blatantly lying to us?

And not to pile on, sir,
but we did just learn that

Mr. Reddington has been canoodling with

a Russian intelligence
operative in Paris.

Neville Townsend is
incredibly dangerous,

to the public and to Elizabeth.

So anything that gets us closer
to him is a win in my book.

Besides, I'd rather
keep Reddington close while

we look into his relationship
with Ivan Stepanov.

If he finds out
we're investigating this,

he'll kill the guy
like he killed Rakitin.

Agreed. So he better not find out.

Or we could just pull Stepanov
off the street.

He's a Russian citizen.

The DOJ's never going to approve that.

Liz wouldn't need their approval.

I know, I know, I know.

It's a terrible idea that
completely sucks.

We cannot trust her. She's not an agent.

And abducting an SVR agent is illegal

and could lead to a huge scandal
if anyone ever found out.

But just... let it suck for a second.

Okay, still sucks.

COOPER: I agree. It's a terrible idea.

But it's possible that
every other idea is worse.

We can't go through official channels

to question an SVR agent,

yet we find ourselves working with a CI

who may be that SVR agent's
top asset in this country.

You said it yourself, Alina...

The minute Reddington finds out
that we know about Stepanov,

he may kill him,

and try as we might to keep it from him,

we know that Reddington
will probably find out

what we know.

Which means we have a narrow window

to find and question Stepanov.

the need for discretion.

I can, and I do.

But I find myself
in the unusual position

where indiscretion is
the better part of valor.

So allow me to be indiscrete.

"Spoiler alert," as they say.

The boxes contain an exhaustive

archival record of your clients.

Names. Dates. Numbers.

A who, what, where, when,
and how of your livelihood.

That's the mystery...

My client list.

It is.

And what I might do with
your client list.

Who's the candidate?

Priya Laghari.

I assume her reputation precedes her.

The Iranian nuclear deal.
The Matisse in Rotterdam.

[SCOFFS] Normally,
I'd consider myself lucky

to find such a worthy replacement.

Luck had nothing to do with it.

I need someone inside
Townsend's organization.

So, I soured him on Espinoza,
Townsend took him out,

called you in, and here we are.

I consult with Mr. Townsend
about personnel,

avoiding redundancy,
and profit maximization.

I have no interest in
his politics or rivalries,

or in placing a mole
within his organization.

Fine. Then you can volunteer.

[SNIFFLES]

[CHUCKLES] I consult with Mr. Townsend

virtually or over the phone.

We've never met.

I don't even know where he works.

Mm. Miss Laghari then.

Advocate for her

and you can keep
your client list to yourself.

Obenrader raved about her,
and you can see why.

Laghari has an outstanding résumé.

Why are you showing this to me?

I value your opinion.

About what thief to hire?

We're partners in
going after Reddington,

and when that ends,

I'm hoping our partnership can continue,

and... and don't... Don't say no

until you let me show you
more of what I do,

starting with Laghari.

I'd like you to bring her in.

What... Now?

Well, I have a meeting
with someone else.

Excuse me, sir. I've heard from Vandyke.

The pickup instructions are in the file.

This is important to me, Elizabeth.

This person you're supposed to meet...

Is there any chance
you can meet them later?

Of course.

PARK: Remind me again what we're doing.

We're gonna track Laghari

- And why are we doing that?

Can't Laghari just tell us his
location once she gets there?

After all, she's spying for us.

RESSLER: No, she's spying
for Reddington.

In exchange for cooperating,
we got Reddington to agree

to let us follow her to wherever
Townsend works or lives.

- Tell me you're calling from Moscow.

I am not. I don't know what's going on.

Townsend sent me to do something.

It's like he knows.

And what makes you think that?

The job. It's... make work.

It's a live call.

Something you give someone
to keep them from

doing something else.

Okay. Agent Park,
turning west on Clyborne.

You have eyes?

PARK: Copy that. West on Clyborne.

So, what about Moscow?

I was able to send someone.

Looks like they're coming to a stop.

Keep your distance.

Any word on the extraction?

No. Shouldn't be a problem.

But if you're right
and Townsend suspects

we're working together...

We're not working together.

We have the same goal.

But so does Townsend.

We're aligned against Reddington.

Maybe. But if Townsend knew

that we were even talking,

I doubt that he'd be so understanding.

I'll call you as soon as I know.

GODWIN: You wanted confirmation.
You just got it.

She's not wrong.

We're all aligned against Reddington.

Yeah, but based on that call,

I'd say she and the feds

Sit tight. I got this.

In the floor of the van?

What we don't know is where
or when she got out.

Which means we're totally
reliant on Reddington.

Whatever Laghari
finds out about Townsend,

she's gonna tell him.

And we're gonna trust that
he turns around and tells us.

He might.

I mean, normally, he wouldn't.

I mean, normally, he's got an agenda

that we do not know about,
but this time,

we... we want the same thing.

I think.

If we wanted the same thing,
Reddington wouldn't

have let Obenrader go.

But if we'd officially
arrested Obenrader,

then it may have tipped Townsend
that Laghari's a plant.

Maybe when this is all over,

Mr. Reddington will
circle back to Obenrader.
