"Previously on "Blacklist:" "Redemption"..." "Howard was my inspiration, my partner, my lover..." "She tried to have me killed." "It's imperative that Scottie Hargrave not know you're her son." "You have to get into the company and gain her trust." "The key book is a comic?" "There's no conspiracy." "She's not a sleeper agent, all right?" "And there's no message in a comic book!" "I misjudged you." "I haven't really been honest w..." "Watch your pretty head." "I went on a trip with my uncle, and in my suitcase, I packed my pillow, a toothbrush, and a pink elephant." " Pink?" " Pink... pink with polka dots." "So I went on a trip with my uncle, and in my suitcase, I packed my pillow, a toothbrush, a pink elephant..." "A pink elephant with polka dots!" "I forgot the polka dots!" "Stay in the car." "Lock the doors." "What's going on?" "Looks like there's been an accident, bud." "Tony's just gonna make sure nobody got hurt." "My God!" "My God!" "My God!" "Get us out of here, man!" "No, no, no." "No, please, don't do this." "Please..." "Please, I'm begging you!" "Do as I say, and you'll be home before you know it." "Don't... and I'll turn you into a pair of shoes." "You said Howard got you clean." " Did Scottie tell you to follow me?" " No." "And I didn't come here to narc on you over whatever you just put in your pocket." "I came here to tell you something... something important." "But first, Howard." " He was your mentor, right?" " Why are you asking me?" "He gave you a second chance." "Yeah, second... third." "Howard saved me." "I wish to God he never got on that airplane." "He didn't." " What?" " The plane... he never got on it." "Howard Hargrave is alive... and he needs our help." "Nice apartment for a guy that's supposed to be dead." "Howard knew we were coming." "Had time to burn... what?" "What didn't he want us to see?" "Did you know that he was still alive?" "No, he crashed his own plane to make the world think he was gone." "And until I find out why, that's what the world needs to go on thinking." "Get all this to Dumont." "See what he can make of it." " And where do I say it came from?" " You don't." "You know nothing about this." "You were never here." "My husband's not alive, understood?" "You guys clearly didn't get enough couples' counseling." "Did you understand?" "I came to Halcyon on your dime, my lady." "You say your husband's dead..." "I say God rest his soul." "Thank God!" "I thought I'd lost you, but you're here!" " Stop it." "I know who you really are..." " You're really here!" "And I know what you've done." "We're gonna get you help." " You tried to kill me." " None of that's true." "You'll... you'll see that when you're better." "And I know why you did it, too." "I know about Whitehall." "Whatever this is, your... your confusion, depression, disorder, we have to treat it." "And I want that treatment to be as painless as possible." "You look skinny." "You should eat come carbs." "Piece of cheese, maybe." "I saw what you did to your apartment." "I know someone in the company told you we were coming." "I need you to tell me who that is." "You need to keep your strength up." "You burn a lot of calories being a lying bitch." "Get some rest, my darling." "I'll be back as soon as I can." "James, I'm sorry." "I had a personal emergency." "First Howard, and now something else?" " Life is not fair." " No, it's not." "Which is why you're here." "My assistant gave me the headlines." "The abduction took place up in the Catskills?" "Less than six hours ago." "Gable Lang... software exec... his wife, 9-year-old son, and their driver." " No bodyguard?" " Killed on scene." "And I'm guessing you haven't involved the FBI in all this or they'd be sitting there with you." "We were warned... no Feds, or the family dies." "It's on you to get them back." "No pressure." "Who took credit for the grab?" "Someone you've dealt with before." "Diego Rocha... retired Brazilian intelligence." "Biggest player in the KR business." "He kidnaps." "Organizations like ours rescue." "Earlier today, Gable Lang and his family were taken by Rocha." "And who is our client?" "Carthay Insurance." "They write policies on CEOs, athletes... people whose profiles might attract the attention of someone like Rocha." "So, it's a straight ransom play." "Things are never straight with Rocha." "After he grabbed the NATO Ambassador, we were contracted to deliver the ransom." "Rocha got the ransom." "We got back... most of the Ambassador." "And has an exchange been agreed to?" "A meeting's been set..." "tomorrow... to start negotiations." "You and Tom will be meeting with Rocha's representative." "James Burton is the insurance company rep." "He's given us authorization to offer up to $5 million." "$5 million, and we're okay with that... rewarding people for destroying innocent lives?" "Is there something that you want to... share with the class?" "I'm good." "As a show of good faith," "Rocha has agreed to release the driver at the meeting." "That's it." "Get moving." " I just can't believe it." " Did you find Howard?" "To look at her and Solomon, knowing what they did..." "Do you know where they're keeping him?" "Not yet, but I'm tracking every company vehicle and where it went the day he was taken." "If what you say is true and a Halcyon vehicle took him," "I'll find out where." "But if you are playing me..." "You'll make me live to regret it..." "I know." "Any time would be good." "Hey, hey, hey." "Stop, stop." "He can't know anything." "What's your angle here?" "With Howard?" "How do you fit in?" " I'm beginning to feel ignored." " I'm coming." "Find him." "Are you the meeting?" "I'll take you to the meeting." "Only one of you." "Now." "No questions." "No questions." "This guy." "I think you'll take us both." "If I drop the cigarette, a hostage will be executed." "Now, you seem less... excitable." "Care to take a ride?" "Rise and shine." "Mr. Lang is insured." "His insurance broker has authorized me to pay you a small fortune to get them back." "I know how the KR business works." "I've made a large fortune off it." "But an insurance policy cannot save the Langs." " Only Cantara can." " I don't know who that is." "He was a member of my team." "The FBI has him." "I want him back." "Sounds like your guy botched the job." "I don't know why you'd want him back." "Carlos is like a son to me." "He's family, which is why this offer is non-negotiable." "I will the kill the Langs if Carlos is not returned by this time tomorrow." "And the driver?" "I was told you'd free him as a show of good faith." "Of course." "It's gonna be okay." "He's all yours." "Please tell me you found something." " Wish I could." "I got nothing." " Well, keep looking." "That's the thing..." "there's nothing to look at." "Any words or images have been burned away." "I'm sorry, but whatever you're looking for is gone." "Hey, Tom-Tom." "Heard you took a tranq for the team." "That sucks." "I'll live, which is more than I can say for the Lang family if we don't find Carlos Cantara." "I want to hear about Cantara and why Rocha cares about him so much." "I found him." "Carlos Cantara..." "Brazilian street urchin taken in by Rocha at 9 years old." "By the time he was 14, he was already part of Rocha's crew." "Stayed that way until last March, when he was arrested by the FBI." "Rocha grabbed a venture capitalist on vacation in Paris." "The FBI discovered the location and raided the warehouse and then arrested Cantara, who got 25 to life at Lewisburg." " Have you talked with him?" " We tried." "The warden wouldn't let us, even after I told him." "Cantara could help save the lives of three Americans." " They gave you no explanation?" " Nope." "And when I insisted on one, he said I had to get it from the Justice Department." "Kat, call Helen Abernathy at Justice." "Tell her we need to talk about the curious case of Carlos Cantara." " So, tell me." " You were the enemy." "You nearly killed Solomon." "Now, suddenly, you're part of the team?" "You can trust me." "You didn't answer my question about how you fit in to all this with Howard." "Why you?" "You say you're his man here." " Prove it." " You'll have proof, all right?" "I'll either get Howard back or I'll die trying." "You're on his side, right?" "So am I." "He's being held at a private medical facility called "Fairhaven."" "It's very secure, very discreet." "I shouldn't be talking to you about this." "Halcyon shouldn't be handling this, Scottie." "This case should be an FBI matter." "Come on, Helen." "You know that up to 70% of domestic kidnappings and missing persons go unreported to the FBI." "Yeah, which is crazy." "The FBI's in the best position to..." "The FBI won't pay ransoms." "Insurance companies will." "End of story." "Be a friend." "What exactly do you want to know?" "Diego Rocha wants to do a hostage swap... the Lang family for one of his former men..." "Carlos Cantara." "No, that's never gonna happen." "I know, but I still need to talk to Cantara." "Your office prosecuted him and sent him to federal prison." "Problem is, the warden over there won't let us talk to him and won't tell us why." "Helen, what am I missing here?" "Why are you guys hiding a federal prisoner from me?" "Because he's not a prisoner." "He's an informant." "That CEO in Paris we rescued..." "Cantara wanted a way out of that life." "He called the FBI, and he tipped them off." "And, in exchange, you made it look like you prosecuted him and sent him to prison." "You gave him a new life." "You can't do a hostage swap, Scottie, because we don't have a hostage to swap." "Did you hear the latest?" "Mrs. Hargrave wants bed checks on the patient every 15 minutes, plus hourly updates on his situation." "Anyway, I got to get back." "Hey, it's time to go." "Hey, hey, you shouldn't be here!" "There are guards, cameras!" " Can you walk?" " The most important thing... is that Scottie trusts you." "If... if she knew you were helping me..." "Of course I'm helping you, Dad." "Dad?" "You never called me that before." "Command, I thought Deavers left." "Didn't he say he was heading home?" "He did." "Why is his car still out front?" "Get me out of here!" "Hey!" "Someone has my badge." "Command, there's been a breach in security." " Somebody has Deavers' badge." " What?" "Hang on." "_" "The badge was just used to access a patient's room." "Wait." "They're in the south stairwell." "Deactivate the badge." "Override the system." "Do it now." "He's on the move." "Set a perimeter." "Find him." "Damn, that was fast." "We're locked in." "They're coming!" "Come on." "Go." "I can take care of myself." "Remember, Whitehall... she has to tell you about Whitehall." " I'm not leaving you here." " No, you shouldn't have come!" "Just go!" "Go, go now!" " I had him." " Did they see you?" " We were one door away." " Were you seen?" "What do you mean you can't find him?" "Cantara gave the FBI the location of someone Rocha had kidnapped." "They rescued him, pretended to arrest Cantara, then set him free." "With a new identity that's proving... irksomely difficult to track down." "Does Rocha know Cantara betrayed him?" "As far as we know, he's bargaining for the return of a loyal comrade." "Well, loyal or not, we don't have him." "And Rocha was clear..." "either we give him Cantara, or he kills the Langs." "Before we knew any of this, we set a call with Rocha to discuss details of the swap." "He has our direct line." "Now we just have to buy some time." "For what?" "Even if we find Cantara, he'll never agree to the trade." " You have a call." " Rocha?" "It's Fairhaven." "There's been an incident." "Thank you, Kat." "Please tell the senator I'll be with him shortly." "Mr. Rocha?" "Time and place... that's all we have to discuss." "I'm afraid there's been a slight delay." "Since Mr. Cantara is in federal custody, the Justice Department has to sign off on our agreement." "Stay away from her!" "Mom!" "Please!" "Give him what he wants, I'm begging you!" "Please." "Apparently, I did not make myself clear with the driver." "Whoa, wait, wait, wait." "W-we've done business in the past." "My company has paid every time, but there is no deal if you hurt those people." "If they die, you'll never see Cantara again." "Four hours." "Disappoint me again, and I will not be so forgiving." "I don't care how you do it." "Find Carlos Cantara." "Now, if you'll excuse me," "I've kept the senator waiting long enough." "Even if we do find him, I'm afraid Nez is right." "It's not likely he'll agree to a swap." "He might, if we make it worth his while." "I was willing to give the kidnappers $5 million for the Langs." "If Cantara does agree, he's the hero of this story." "It would be a pleasure to make him rich." "First, we got to find him in four hours, and he could be anywhere." "I want the doors flanked, front and back." "If you need more bodies, let me know." "You had one patient." "You couldn't keep him protected." "My people are taking over security." "I can't tell you how sorry I am." "Nothing like this has ever happened before." "It's my fault." "My husband has a compatriot." "I underestimated him." "That will not happen again." "Talk to me about surveillance." " Surveillance?" " Cameras..." "I-I want to see everything." "Ms. Hargrave, you said you didn't want anyone to know your husband was here." "Your instructions were quite explicit." "Are you telling me you turned the surveillance cameras off?" "On the wing he's in, yes." " What about outside?" " Those were operational." "It's difficult to identify anybody." "Put the footage on a flash drive." "I'll expect to take it with me after I visit my husband." "I don't blame you." "It's important for me that you know that." "That your illness is what makes you think I'm the enemy." "I'm sad about it, but I accept it." "Or I did, when I thought your confusion was benign." "But faking your death, working against me?" "What was all that you burned?" "Whitehall." "I don't think you have the capacity to understand the consequences of what it could be, which is neither here nor there, since, at the moment, you're in no position to do anything about it." "But your associate is, and that's a problem... which is why I need to know his name." "You are forcing my hand." "No?" "Nothing?" "You are tough." "I always loved that about you." "We got a lead on Cantara." " Where?" " Queens." "As part of his deal, the Feds pay him a stipend under the alias Joaquin Cruz." "Now, it turns out that Mr. Cruz accesses that stipend from an ATM at the Liquor Plus in Flushing, which has a lot of public housing projects." "And I'm thinking it sounds like a good place to disappear if you're Carlos Cantara." "Find Solomon and get out there." "We have less than two hours until Rocha executes a hostage." "Dumont." "I need you to do something for me." "Yes, I'll go out with you." "I'm allergic to shellfish." "Pick me up at 8:30." "There's a man on this surveillance tape, time code 32:16." "The image is distorted." "I need you to enhance this for me, get me his face." "Cantara turned on Rocha to live here?" "You know, this may come as a shock to you, but not everybody is a mercenary." "Some people like to do the right thing." "So do I... for a price." "You're $20 short." " See?" " This guy... he lives here, yeah?" "Think I walked here for my health?" "Whoa, easy!" "You better have a good reason for being here." "Diego Rocha... we want to take him down, and we need your help." "Let them in." "You're asking me to commit suicide." "Does Rocha know that you betrayed him?" "No, but if I go back..." "You have no idea how hard it was to get away." "He's not gonna let me leave again." "Yeah, but Rocha... he doesn't get a vote, okay?" "It's been decided." "When the Langs are safe, we'll come for you, and we will end him." "If you don't help us, he will kill them and their little boy." "And if I do help you, I'll never see my family again." "Okay, let's try it this way." "We'll pay you... $1 million." "No, forget it." "You know what?" "You got out, and that's what matters." "No, no, no, no... $2 million." "Look, Rocha's gonna keep murdering innocent people." "Are you telling me that you can live with that?" " He can't." " Judy, please." "It haunts him, and it will until it stops." "The guards, the guns... they're here because of Rocha, because, one day, he will find us." "It's a blessing... a chance to really start over." "$2 million?" "$4 million... or no deal." "Mazel tov, Carlos." "You married up." "No." "No, I said no." "I told you... no tracking devices." "Just hear me out." "The filament in the second button is carbon fiber." "Diego's former intelligence." "He knows all these tricks." " It won't be detectable..." " He's... he's gonna find this..." " I promise." " And he's gonna kill me." "You know what?" "Forget it." "I'm not doing this." " Just keep... just keep the damn money." " All right, h-h-hold on!" "Take it easy, all right?" "Just give him a minute." "My life is on the line..." "she wants to wire me up?" "No, she wants to keep you safe, all right?" "We all do." "Nobody gets anything if you get burned." "I'm trusting you." "My wife and my kid..." "we are trusting you." "We've got instructions on the swap." "Look, if it's okay, I'd like to call my wife." "Of course." " How's he doing?" " How do you think he's doing?" "He's terrified." "Well, he should be." "Scottie, baby, what are we looking at?" "Rocha set a location... a railway bridge near the Schoharie Creek viaduct, one hour." "That doesn't leave much time for recon." "That's the point." "He wants Cantara taken to the southern end by one escort." "Tom, that means you." "What's the terrain?" "How do I know I'm not walking into an ambush?" "Looks like two lanes... one north, one south, fairly remote." "There are no buildings, so we should have snipers in the woods in case Rocha makes a play." "Solomon, Nez, get out there now." "Nobody's rolling in until you give the all-clear." "What if Rocha's people see you?" "He could call it off, or, worse, someone could get killed." "I'm not sending Tom in there blind." "A lot of closed doors around the office lately?" "If you got something to say, then say it." "Nah, I'm good." " Clear." " No sign of Rocha or the Langs." "Six minutes." "Tom, go ahead and move to the southern end." "Everyone, stay ready." "This guy is not known for playing fair." "A year ago, nothing scared me." "What changed?" "My daughter was born." "That'll do it." "Mine's about one." "You know, I used to call Diego my father." "Took me in as a kid, made sure that I had enough to eat, a place to stay." "Then, when I was old enough, he... put a gun in my hand and sent me to hurt people." "I had to get out, you know?" "I just had to." "Yeah, I know what that's like." "I was raised the same way." "But you'll be out again soon." "When it's safe, we will come get you, we will take down Rocha, and we will get you back to your family." "Okay." "He deserves it." "I know that." "But, to be honest... there's still a part of me that cares about him... the closest thing I ever had to a dad." "We got incoming." "Yeah, we're here." "You disobeyed my instructions." "I said one escort." " I'm the only one here." " I see." "So the two operatives with sniper rifles at the top of the hill are not with Halcyon?" "How the hell did he know that?" "Tell them to stand down, or I will kill the Langs." "You have three seconds." " Scottie, what do you want to do?" " He's bluffing." " 3..." " Doesn't sound like he's bluffing." "2..." "Nez, Solomon, fall back." "Okay, okay." "They're standing down." "All right?" "Just a little insurance, nothing to worry about." "When I give the signal, walk my man to the center of the bridge." "Just make sure my family gets that money." "Go ahead." "Let's move." "Let's move." "My God, thank you." "Don't thank me yet." "Keep moving." "I told you I'd get you back." "Yeah." " Mom?" " Hey... who are you people?" "Mr. Lang, we've been hired by your insurance company to secure your family's release." "Mom?" "Can't believe I'm home!" "Thought I'd never see you again." "Neither did I." "The day you were arrested... was one of the worst days of my life." "But it's nothing compared to the day" "I found out you had turned against me." "What are you talking about?" "Drop the act!" "Dieg..." "Whoa, that's not good." " What's not good?" " We just lost Cantara." "Dumont, get the signal back, all right?" "We need to find out where they've taken him." " Mom?" " Not now, sweetie." "I took this from the man." "Will it help?" "You... you took that from Rocha?" "Yeah, Keaton, that will help." "Dumont, we might have figured out a way to track Cantara." "So, what now?" "Are you gonna kill me?" "If I'm ordered to, yes." "I don't understand." "Is someone else running your crew?" "You got it wrong, Carlos." "It was never my crew." "Mr. Cantara." "Thank you so much for joining us." "You know, when this started," "I actually believed we were trying to get back a brother-in-arms." "Imagine my surprise... when the people I hired to get you out of prison... told me you were an informant." "Aah!" "You know, he loved you like a son." "He had great hopes." "I never wanted that!" "You're as greedy as we are." "You're here for a payday... $4 million." "But one thing... does set you apart." "You're a traitor." "Normally, I'd leave this to Diego, but I know he would take no joy from seeing you suffer." "I, on the other hand, am... a little more... detached." "You need to see this." " The surveillance footage?" " Better." "Maybe." "I don't know." "Depends on what's on the footage, which is still rendering." "Long story long..." "Burton's our bitch." "What are you talking about?" "Location history on Rocha's cell... three trips to an estate on Chesapeake Bay owned by one James Burton." "Maybe he was staking it out." "Maybe Burton was his next target." "Or maybe he and Rocha have a sweet deal to share insurance payouts." "If they do, maybe we can get to Rocha through Burton." "Can you find where Burton is now?" "I thought you'd never ask." "When cattle are slaughtered, the carotid and the jugular... are severed." "The animal dies from loss of blood." "Takes about 30 seconds." "If you don't sever... a major vessel, well, it can take much longer." "No." "D-D-Diego, I have a baby girl." "I have a baby girl." "Please." "Her name is Rose." "Please, Diego." "Slicing the anterior tibial... will give us more time together." "We have so much to catch up on." "I don't want to get my hands dirty." "This kind of exposure is risky for me." "But you are going to tell me what you told the Feds about us." "Aah!" " Diego!" " Keep him quiet." "Diego!" " Scottie." " We have Lang and his family." "That's great news." "But we lost Rocha." "What?" "How?" "RDF is up." "Signal strength looks good." "Accounting for time lag." "Are you still upstate?" " Yes." " No, I'm... approving payment to Cantara from our D.C. office." "Actually, you're at..." "I was hoping you could download local authorities on Rocha." "1126 Fox Hollow Road." "If anyone can help locate Rocha and Cantara, it's you." "Of course." "I'll do whatever I can." "I believe that, Jim." "I really do." "Thank you." "Where were we?" "You heard right... it was Burton." "He's how Rocha knew our position at the bridge." "And the tracker..." "Burton knew we had one on Cantara." " Where's Cantara being held?" " An old slaughterhouse, about 10 miles from your location." "Sending you GPS and schematics now." "It's three stories, fortified, cameras inside and out." "We have a plan to get you inside, but the space has been repurposed, so there's no way of knowing the layout." " Or how many mercs there are." " Or the location of Cantara." "Other than that, Ms. Lincoln, how was the play?" "You said you had a way to get us inside?" "Matter of fact, I do, sweetheart." "It's called a Tympanic Bursting Device, and it's the ultimate answer to the eternal question," ""Can you hear me now?"" "The device uses an array of piezoelectric transducers that emit a 144-decibel siren." "You get one of these puppies inside that slaughterhouse, it'll give you just the diversion you need." "The ultrasonic frequency is so high, they may not even hear it." "But you'll know when it's activated." "Tasty." " Come on, come on!" " Aaah!" "Come on!" " Come on!" " Ooh!" "Everybody in the truck." "Um, so, you know how I said connecting Burton to Rocha was better than whatever I was gonna find on the surveillance footage?" "I'm not 100% on that." "Were you able to render it?" "Any chance you're gonna tell me what this is about?" "Did you make a positive I.D.?" "Nothing?" "No hint, a clue?" "The person on that tape is a sworn enemy of mine" " and this company." " I don't think..." "There must be some mistake." "Are you sure?" "Dumont, who is it?" "Hey." "Rocha knew I betrayed him, and he still saved my life." "Well, you meant more to him than money, Carlos." "That man he shot..." "James Burton." "His insurance company paid kidnappers ransom to get their clients back, and..." "Burton figured out a way to pay himself." "Hey, your daughter... what's her name?" "Rose." "Agnes." "If you're calling for a progress report, our side won." "I have a job for you." "Perfect timing." "We're done here." "What can we do for you?" "I need you, not the team." "Okay." "What can I do for you?" "Is this about Howard?" "Howard, yes." "It's..." "He has an associate I need you to eliminate." "This is the hardest part." "What is?" "When the rush ends and the case is over." "You know, Howard did get me clean." "After he died, after I got a taste for it again in Russia," "I just slipped back." "But he didn't die, did he?" "And now he's in trouble, and I want to help him, but I can't do it if I'm using." "And I can't stop on my own." "Where's the electrician?" "I have to admit..." "I..." "I didn't see it coming." "Even now, knowing the truth," "I don't know how you made it happen." "So, it's the... the good cop now." "You're gonna tell me how great I am." "You are." "You are the best." "Who else could trick me into hiring my own personal Judas?" "Someday, you'll tell me how you did it." "I'd ask your asset, but he'll be dead soon." "It's a shame, really." "There was something about him." "He... he reminded me of you." "Maybe it's just the familiar scent of deception." "Okay, I'll bite." "What's so funny?" " You're not gonna kill him." " Really?" "I already gave the order." "And now you're gonna rescind it." "Howard, you may think you're a genius, but you're no magician." "There is nothing you can say that will make me call off the hit." "How about this?" "He's your son." "You're lying." "You already said it." "He reminds you of me." "Christopher is dead." "He told me how comfortable you feel around him, and that you couldn't put your finger on why." "Well, this is why, Scottie." "He's our boy." "And I will tell you how I found him, where he's been." "I'll tell you everything... after you call off the hit." "You know what I'm saying is true." "I-I don't have proof." "I can't show you his DNA, but you know it." "Our son is alive." "So make the call, Scottie." "You and I can go on hating each other and lying to each other and hurting each other after." "But right now, at this moment, dear God... let us get past our problems and save the only decent person... in our family." "That's it, baby." "Boo-yah." " Bad time." " Is it done?" "Well, it would've been if you'd stopped nagging me." "Stand down." " What are you talking about?" " I'm calling it off." "Lest we forget, he is Howard's ally." "A mole inside the company." "Yes, and I will deal with that." "There's only one way to deal with it... this way." "Right now." "I said, stand down!" "Copy that." "What are you guys waiting on?" "What are we waiting on?" "I swear, man, sometimes..." "You just want to put me in your cross hairs and pull the trigger." "Believe me, my brother, the feeling's mutual."
