The Blacklist 1x8

1. You hear that? What was it?

2. I don't know. We should head back. We'll play more later.

3. It's almost 7:30. Your mom's gonna be upset.

4. One more kick-off!

5. I'll return!

6. Dad?

7. Aah! Aah!

8. United! We'll never be defeated!

9. The storm has come.

10. A wave of death and destruction,

11. aimed at the few who've left so little for so many.

12. It will wash away the greedy,

13. and when it does, you can thank General Ludd.

14. What are you still doing here?

15. Hey, late start. Teacher in-service. I'm supposed to bring donuts

16. as if Mrs. Wempon's ass could use another bear claw.

17. What's going on here? You know.

18. Good morning. I'm working on it.

19. —a cargo plane bound for Los Angeles.

20. Sources say it exploded just 90 seconds after takeoff here in Washington.

21. Did you see this? Plane crash. Hmm?

22. The debris and the eyewitness accounts say it looks like a bomb.

23. It's my dad.

24. Reports are claiming that this could be the result—

25. Hey. ls everything okay?

26. I can't call my daughter unless there's something wrong?

27. How are you feeling? Oh, you know me. Picture of health.

28. Somethings wrong.

29. This 12-year-old who claims to be an oncologist

30. wants to run another series of tests.

31. You're in the hospital? I'm coming. No, you're not. I'm fine.

32. Listen, butterball, it's under control.

33. I've got teams of medical people here. Their teams have teams. I'm fine.

34. When are these tests happening? As soon as the doc finishes her martini.

35. No jokes. If this is serious, I wanna be there.

36. It's not. Don't say that because

37. you don't wanna bother me. You're allowed to bother me.

38. It's just a test, Lizzy.

39. Okay. Leave your phone on and call me as soon as it's done, okay?

40. All right.

41. Dad, I love you. I love you too.

42. Pretending doesn't make it any better. She deserves to know the truth.

43. Shut up and hand me that Snickers bar, would you?

44. Absolutely not. I'm not giving you access to the FBI's ViCAP system.

45. Then you have to find another criminal

46. to talk to Elizabeth Keen and make fun of Agent Ressler.

47. We have an agreement. Yes, for me to bring cases to you.

48. It doesn't work the other way around. I'm not your consultant.

49. I have no interest in cases that I have no interest in.

50. Personally, I think my proposal was incredibly fair.

51. You have got to give to get, Harold.

52. You're asking me to go beyond the terms of our agreement.

53. If you want me to help you, I will.

54. But I need something extra to sweeten the deal.

55. Rest assured, granting me access to ViCAP

56. will benefit you just as much as it does me.

57. Does this mean you know who took down that plane?

58. You're speaking as if an individual is responsible for this.

59. It's far bigger than you might think. It's a movement.

60. Do we have a deal?

61. Reddington believes General Ludd is behind the attack.

62. They take their name from the leader of a 19th century group called the Luddites,

63. a militant wing of a popular struggle against early industrial capitalism.

64. 1997, Davos, Switzerland.

65. Ludd took credit for a car bomb that hit the Economic International Summit.

66. Nine people were killed, including two European finance ministers.

67. 2005, Ludd released the source code

68. protecting data for international stockholders.

69. Caused a glitch that cost the market a few hundred million.

70. See, that I can appreciate. Trim the fat off the fat cats.

71. This group is incredibly well-educated.

72. They're as disciplined as any terrorist cell.

73. Identifying members has been impossible.

74. Reddington can ID one of these guys?

75. Better. Says he can identify the group's founder, Nathaniel Wolff.

76. Says he's the man ultimately responsible for taking down that plane.

77. This is the only known image of him that we have.

78. Get out there. Find him.

79. I'll let the locals know you're coming. Nobody sleeps until we have him.

80. It was definitely a bomb, not mechanical.

81. At the moment, we have two suspects.

82. The bomb was homemade, straight from the Oklahoma City playbook.

83. It was driven onto the tarmac by a cargo operator

84. and placed onto the plane.

85. We've got bomb residue inside to confirm that.

86. The driver's name was Roger Gard.

87. Haven't found him. What about your second suspect?

88. My guys just got word last night a fertilizer plant was robbed.

89. One of the part-time employees stole chemicals from the warehouse.

90. Have a name? Plant manager thinks

91. it was taken by an employee named Arthur Denning.

92. Here it is. We've got it. Arthur Denning started at the Greenbow Fertilizer Plant

93. three months ago.

94. The U.S. Attorney subpoenaed everything they have.

95. Personal records, performance reviews and this.

96. Security footage.

97. He accessed a remote warehouse at 2:16 a.m. There he is. That's our guy.

98. That's Arthur Denning? I just got a company ID on Roger Gard.

99. Aram, can you pull up that picture? Yeah.

100. Okay. What the hell is going on?

101. Arthur Denning and Roger Gard are the same person.

102. Can you pull up the photo of Wolff?

103. Whoever that guy is, he is not Nathaniel Wolff.

104. Then who is he?

105. Who has my itinerary? Flight 1143.

106. I want you all to know what an honor this has been.

107. Hey. I know you don't wanna call me because you don't wanna freak me out

108. but FYI, not calling me freaks me out, so call me.

109. I just wanna know about the tests. I love you.

110. We compared the employee files of Gard and Denning.

111. They have one thing in common. What?

112. We got his home address. Let's roll.

113. We went looking for the real identity

114. of the man posing as Denning and Gard.

115. The one thing we knew going in,

116. was that the man we were looking for was not Nathaniel Wolff.

117. We were wrong. Reddington was right. What proof do you have?

118. The items we found are basically a love letter from Wolff to his father.

119. Wolff s father was a mechanic who worked his entire life at PTB Aviation.

120. When Wolff was 6, a corporate raider bought the airline and sold it off.

121. Wolff s father was a union man, fought to keep the airline intact.

122. He lost. Started drinking, his wife left. Six months later,

123. Wolff's father committed suicide. Okay. But again, that isn't proof.

124. No, but we've got Nathaniel Wolff's fingerprints all over the place.

125. Two different people, both with the exact same print?

126. He can't change his fingerprints.

127. He changed his face.

128. Malaysia is the future, Mary.

129. A new world is waiting. They're starting a production line—

130. I am not moving to Malaysia.

131. I understand but with your skills and a market like Kuala Lumpur...

132. I find it so reassuring.

133. The movie stars, the pop singers, they really are just like the rest of us.

134. Mr. Reddington, I told you,

135. I'm not interested in anything outside Fairfax County.

136. Caleb's in school. He's 9.

137. I'm treasurer of the PTA, for God sakes. I can't just leave.

138. Mary, darling, you would thrive in Malaysia and Caleb would love it.

139. Those thieving little monkeys near Batu Caves are absolute rascals.

140. Molly!

141. What are you doing here? You're a little early. We're not ready yet.

142. One of our most trusted couriers. Please excuse us.

143. You have a suburban housewife printing fake money out of her garage.

144. Mary is an artist. She has a tremendous gift.

145. I've been calling your people all morning. Luli didn't pick up.

146. Luli didn't pick up because we're busy.

147. You should've dug that chip out of your damn neck.

148. Well, you're here now, so, what's on your mind?

149. We searched the home address listed for both suspects

150. and were able to pull some prints.

151. They belong to Nathaniel Wolff.

152. I never tire of being correct. Someone changed his face.

153. I understand your father is not well.

154. Excuse me? The cancer, it's come back?

155. My father's fine, he's just...

156. Who the hell told you that?

157. You should be there. With him.

158. I'm not doing this.

159. Guessing what you know or how you know it.

160. Dr. Maltz.

161. What? Abraham Maltz.

162. The best surgeon for this sort of business.

163. Maltz.

164. Before we do this, let me be clear.

165. I have business that requires further travel today.

166. So this needs to happen quickly, you need to follow my lead.

167. Dr. Maltz is not on the Blacklist, he's an asset I need to protect.

168. You want me to protect some surgeon who might be linked to a terrorist organization?

169. Yes.

170. Abraham.

171. Raymond. What brings you in? I don't know how you do it.

172. I had that done once, couldn't bear the tickling. How are you?

173. We need to talk. In private. Yeah, sure. Give us a minute, please?

174. Ray, look at you. You look great.

175. I mean, the elasticity is amazing.

176. You've been juicing?

177. Beets, mostly. Some celery, carrots, a lot of ginger.

178. The kale makes me dyspeptic.

179. And what's a beautiful young woman like you doing with this vulture?

180. Trust me, it's not by choice.

181. So, Nathaniel Wolff, you gave him a new face. I need to find him.

182. You know I would help you if I could.

183. I do and I thank you for that, Abraham.

184. Normally I wouldn't impose but this is a personal matter of some urgency.

185. You know my business, the rules. It's all about confidentiality.

186. Absolutely. This conversation should never leave this office.

187. I just got done with six hours of surgery and you walk in.

188. I mean, I don't know you or why you think you could come in here

189. and ask questions about my clients. Red, help me out.

190. My name is Special Agent Elizabeth Keen. I'm with the FBI.

191. Mr. Reddington is working with us, helping us to capture high-value targets

192. and Nathaniel Wolff is one of them. I need to find Wolff. I know you can help.

193. Wait a minute. You're an informant now?

194. How dare you come-f? Did you hear me?

195. I need his new name. Give it to me or I'll have the Miami Field Office

196. tear your practice apart faster than you can say "tummy tuck."

197. Bradley Holland, okay? That's the name he goes under now.

198. Bradley Holland.

199. Abraham.

200. I refer important clients to you, people who are vital to my business.

201. People whose livelihood depends on your confidentiality,

202. and you roll over like a cockapoo wanting his belly scratched?

203. You said this guy was solid. Some woman

204. Wait. who claims to be an FBI agent

205. makes a few ham-fisted threats,

206. and you hand over one of your own clients? That's dirty pool.

207. God forbid this ever gets back to poor Nathaniel Wolff.

208. I don't know what's— Nothing. What other secrets have you given away?

209. Who knows about the work I had done? Nobody, truthfully. You know me.

210. I brought Christina to you specifically for your discretion and expertise.

211. I assured her you were trustworthy.

212. I'm sorry. I was wrong.

213. Shame on you, Abraham.

214. I know another doctor. No. Red.

215. We could make this right. You know me.

216. I would never give out a name of any client.

217. We believe Wolff is now using the name, Bradley Holland,

218. a pilot for lnnova Air.

219. I buy him as a cargo operator, but a pilot?

220. That would require licenses, documentation, a background check.

221. Anonymity is a cornerstone of this group's decentralized command structure.

222. Wolff has given up his identity for this cause.

223. Wall Street destroyed the airline that Wolff's father devoted his life to

224. so Wolff is now using the airlines in his efforts to destroy Wall Street.

225. Holland swiped through security at Reagan International.

226. Get the TSA on the line. Tell them to pull the feeds. Backtrack the swipe.

227. He's gonna bring down another plane.

228. Sophie, hi.

229. If ifs okay with you, I'm deadheading to Denver.

230. Let me check what seats are available.

231. I appreciate that. I'm Bradley.

232. There's an empty seat in first.

233. Must be my lucky day.

234. Yes, sir, the attack is imminent. We need to contact Homeland,

235. move the threat level to Code Red.

236. All planes need to be rerouted.

237. Nothing should be taking off or landing at Reagan.

238. How about that?

239. Nuts, right?

240. They're saying a father and son were killed on the ground.

241. It's terrible. That group?

242. The ones that took credit? Oh, yeah, General something.

243. General... General Ludd.

244. Within an hour of that plane dropping out of the sky,

245. that company lost 30 percent of its market share.

246. Bunch of wackos, right? Oh, you said it.

247. Out of work, sexually frustrated, living-at-home losers, if you ask me.

248. Mm-hm.

249. What line of work are you in?

250. Hedge funds. Dolus Capital.

251. Oh, heh-heh.

252. So this General Ludd group, you're, like,

253. the poster child for everything they hate.

254. Ha-ha-ha. How does that feel? You worried?

255. Not in the Gold Club, I'm not. Ha-ha. Know what I'm saying?

256. Mm-hm.

257. Sophie? Do me a favor? Whatever you need.

258. I left my logbook six gates away. Would you watch my stuff?

259. I'll put it in first class. We're boarding any minute.

260. You're the best.

261. Tom. Liz, Aunt June called.

262. Now's not a good time.

263. She said your dad hasn't exactly been telling you the truth.

264. He's a little sicker than he's been letting on.

265. Aunt June gets indigestion and thinks she's having a stroke.

266. The cancer spread to his liver.

267. What?

268. No, he was just going in for a few tests.

269. Apparently it's a little more serious than that,

270. and Aunt June thinks that we need to be there, like, now.

271. I can't, I...

272. Oh, my God, I've gotta call him.

273. No. he's in surgery. Listen, I'm on the next flight out of Dulles,

274. and I got Ellie to watch Hudson...

275. Surgery? Have you talked to his oncologist?

276. No, I talked to June and you're right. She's probably overreacting but if you can't go now—

277. Yeah, what do you got?

278. —Let me book you the 6:15,

279. and you'll be in Nebraska by noon. Okay?

280. Lizzy, Okay? Okay.

281. You all right?

282. Got him. Deadheading to Denver. Flight 1143.

283. Block off this runway. Clear that terminal. I want everyone out of here now.

284. We need emergency vehicles on standby.

285. Bomb squads en route. I want every bag—

286. Hello, Sam.

287. It's been far too long.

288. Sir?

289. I have a family emergency. My father's sick. I need to catch a flight.

290. Not an option.

291. I know the timing is terrible. All flights are grounded.

292. What? Why?

293. General Ludd. FBI Headquarters received a manifesto.

294. We are General Ludd. Our uprising against the undue influence

295. of corporations on our government has begun.

296. Today marks the beginning of a war.

297. Our enemy? The oligarchs of corporate America

298. who have destroyed the middle class on whose backs this country was built.

299. Our fight is for the sou! of this country.

300. There will be protests, violent uprisings,

301. planes will fall from the skies.

302. The corrupt corporate giants will be brought to their knees.

303. So, as it begins, ask yourself, are you General Ludd?

304. FAA has implemented 9/11 protocol. Planes are grounded until further notice.

305. This was their plan. They wanted us to ground those planes, cripple the economy.

306. I've got an address on Bradley Holland. Same as Denning and Gard?

307. Yes, but I've also traced a credit card payment

308. to a storage facility. Brooklyn, St. Marks Ave.

309. Let's roll.

310. Oh, my God.

311. I've never been more scared of a woman in my life.

312. She was thrilling in bed. What a pair of legs.

313. I think she played field hockey in college.

314. I've missed that laugh.

315. You look like hell.

316. I finally had a chance to see her, Sam.

317. There's a fire inside she got from you.

318. She's volatile...

319. unpredictable.

320. Soft, then hard, then...

321. Ha-ha-ha, soft again.

322. Stronger than she knows.

323. You gave her an incredible gift, Sam.

324. Taking her in...

325. and loving her as your own.

326. They've given me six weeks.

327. For what? So I can lay here and watch them take me apart.

328. I wish they'd said six hours.

329. And I told them, I said:

330. "You can get rid of those damn machines.

331. Go monitor somebody who's actually got vital signs."

332. I need to tell Lizzy.

333. No. I know what we agreed,

334. but before I go, I have to tell her.

335. I can't let you do that.

336. She deserves the truth.

337. They've created entire lives.

338. As if they were real people.

339. So who the hell is John Horlbeck?

340. His whole plan rested on becoming John Horlbeck, a 45-year-old truck driver.

341. Trucking company he works for has contracts

342. with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

343. Every day, BEP moves billions of dollars in currency

344. from the U.S. Mint and Federal Reserve banks all over the country.

345. They move it by plane.

346. But with the planes grounded, they move...

347. By truck. Today.

348. This is all an elaborate heist.

349. How much is Horlbeck moving by his trucking company?

350. Five hundred million.

351. I just got the transponder frequency from American Secure Transport.

352. Target vehicle is crossing over the Queensboro Bridge.

353. Delaware plates, six-Alpha-seven-seven-Bravo.

354. Daddy, thank God. I was so worried.

355. What's going on? Tom just spoke with Aunt June.

356. Aunt June talks too much. Tom said you're in surgery.

357. Look, I'm sorry to bring you so late to the party,

358. but about three months ago, I wasn't feeling so great.

359. So I went to the doc.

360. And, uh...

361. she said the cancer came back. And it spread everywhere.

362. They're doing what they can but it ain't good.

363. But obviously they think they can do something. They think...

364. I should have told you the truth.

365. I should have been honest with you from the gel-go

366. but I couldn't. I was trying to protect you.

367. I'm on my way, as soon as I can get on a plane.

368. You're gonna be fine, Daddy. I know that.

369. Of course I am. Heh.

370. I love you.

371. I love you too, butterball.

372. Thank you.

373. You will always be her father, Sam.

374. I can only hope to...

375. love her and protect her...

376. as you have.

377. Excuse me. I'm here to see Samuel Howen.

378. Know what room he's in? Are you family?

379. Yeah, I'm his son-in-law, Tom Keen. I...

380. I'm so sorry.

381. Thank you.

382. Okay, turning south.

383. Take the Midtown Tunnel. You can get ahead of him.

384. Keen. Lizzy, how are you?

385. Not a good time.

386. Sorry. I was just thinking about you.

387. Wanted to see if you needed anything.

388. With the case? No.

389. With your father.

390. Are you gonna make it home to Nebraska?

391. All planes are grounded. Not mine.

392. Lizzy, are you sure there's nothing I can do for you?

393. I can't talk right now.

394. Mind if I sit?

395. No, go right ahead.

396. Visiting someone? A friend.

397. He died today. Yourself? Mm.

398. I came here to see my father-in-law.

399. But I...

400. I didn't get here in time.

401. Oh, my.

402. I'm terribly sorry.

403. It's hard to...

404. not say goodbye.

405. I've lost so many people.

406. Never seems to get any easier.

407. I don't know what I'm gonna say to my wife.

408. I've been sitting here for I don't know how long trying

409. to figure out how to tell her.

410. My wife and her dad, they had something...

411. He took her in when she was 4 years old. Adopted her.

412. And raised her as a single parent.

413. She's gonna be heartbroken.

414. Yes.

415. It'll undoubtedly take some time.

416. But I'm sure she'll be fine.

417. He'll always be there with her.

418. Standing in the shadows to keep her safe.

419. Laughing with her in the light.

420. Watching through her eyes, all those who get close.

421. He'll always be there.

422. She will be fine.

423. I hope you're right.

424. I know I am.

425. We got him.

426. This was never about the money.

427. Wolff s people hit that truck for something more valuable than the cash.

428. There was a safe on the truck. In it was a hard drive

429. containing software for the new $100 bill.

430. Proprietary algorithms, plate design, watermarks, encoding techniques,

431. every last hair on Ben Franklin's eyelash is on that drive.

432. Luckily, we got to him before he could access the safe.

433. Any indication where Wolff may be? We put out an APB.

434. Major roads and ports have been secured.

435. With planes still grounded, flying out isn't an option.

436. That's not exactly true.

437. Lizzy. You said you could still fly?

438. If you know what corners to cut, yes, everything is possible.

439. Wolff wanted us to ground planes

440. so he could steal blueprints for the $100 bill.

441. He's escaping by plane. Nobody's watching the skies.

442. My guess is you're half-right. If you were him,

443. where would you fly from? Where was Wolff last seen?

444. Wall Street. How fitting.

445. Let me look into the matter. I'll see what I can find.

446. Dembe, tell Edward we're making an unscheduled stop.

447. Hey.

448. Ready to go? Oh, I'm not your pilot.

449. He went for a stroll. Well, get him back.

450. Years ago, I used to smuggle small shipments

451. of Oaxaca Highland Gold into this airstrip.

452. Beautiful space. Bumpy as hell.

453. You know, Mr. Wolff, I admire your commitment.

454. Others may doubt you, may think your revolutionary talk

455. is just that, talk to cover your greed, but I think not.

456. You really do want this country's financial system to fail.

457. And if I'm not mistaken,

458. you've come up with an ingenious way to make that happen.

459. Who are you? No doubt the feds are congratulating

460. themselves this very minute

461. for recovering the blueprint they assume is real

462. but you and I know ifs not. It's a fake.

463. How do you know that? You swapped the drives.

464. Gave the feds a counterfeit. If the Mint uses it,

465. billions of dollars of counterfeit currency would be circulated,

466. bankrupting this country.

467. And you're gonna what? Stop me, turn me in?

468. I'm gonna rob you.
