Lia: WHAT!?!?
Whitehat: Your parents were friends with Raymond Reddington?!?
Lia: You've got to tell me how the heck did that happen.
Reddington: Well, you see... I might not.
(Reddington pulls out a gun and aims it at both of them.)
Reddington: Well, you see, I was offered to join Blackwatch a long time before anyone else, just like your parents. I know the agreement they signed. You, Lia, work for Blackwatch, and the same goes for your young little friend.
Lia: I worked for Blackwatch, but I don't work for them anymore.
Reddington (intrigued): And why is that?
Lia: I was sold out. I became the number 1 most wanted on the FBI list.
Reddington:and they left you for dead.
Lia: Seems like you speak from experience.
Reddington: Wouldn't be the first time Blackwatch has done something so stupid.
Reddington: If not to kill me, why come looking for me?
Lia: We need to find Lucifer.
Reddington: Have you tried looking in hell?
Lia: I'm talking about Eric Bronzel. He calls himself Lucifer. He does arson, burns crime scenes like no one else.
Reddington: Oh, that Eric. Yeah, I can help you find him.
Lia: Yes, thank you!
Whitehat: What's the catch?
Lia (confused): What do you mean?
Whitehat: My dad was in the task force that hunted Reddington. No matter what deal he makes with anyone, he always has a catch.
Reddington: I KNEW I recognized you! You're Johnson's kid, aren't you?
Lia: Johnson? As in DIRECTOR JOHNSON?
Reddington: So I see Johnson got a promotion...
Whitehat: Don't you dare speak about my father.
Reddington: Okay, okay, relax kid. But he isn't wrong, Lia. I'm not helping for free.
Lia: Whatever you want, we can get it for you.
Reddington: Well, I will take you right to Eric if you get me access to the Blackwatch mainframe.
Whitehat: Are you kidding me?
Lia: Whitehat, we have to.
Whitehat: No. Your life isn't worth the lives of thousands, not HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, of agents across New York.
Reddington: Relax, kid. I don't want to shut it down. I want you to get me access to all files from 2000.
Whitehat: That's... 9 years after Blackwatch was created. You weren't even on the kill list yet. What do you even need from those files?
Reddington: The identity of the man who ordered to kill Charlotte Mayen.
Whitehat: What the fuck are you on about?
Lia: Yeah, I worked on that file in the academy for a test. The CIA was the one that ordered the killing of Charlotte.
Reddington: That's where you're wrong. When Charlotte died, the CIA took down about 70% of her empire. That's a giant power gap. Want to take a guess who fit into that GIANT power gap?
Lia: Blackwatch...
Reddington: Exactly. Something isn't right about that story.
Lia: Wait, but if you wanted the file for Charlotte's killer, you knew she was 100% dead.
Reddington: Yeah, what about it?
Lia: Why did you meet with us then? I mean, if you were sure Charlotte was dead, why meet with two people claiming she's alive?
Reddington: I thought, hey, maybe I can get some information about Blackwatch from you two.
Lia: You knew we were Blackwatch agents?
Reddington: Yeah, only people who knew about Vasco were Blackwatch and my own people.
Whitehat: One question.
Reddington: What is it, kid?
Whitehat: Is he... actually insane?
Reddington: Have you met the man? Of course he is. The nurse is my contact; she listens to all the conversations and reports to me.
We cut to FBI HQ in New York.
FBI Assistant Director: Mia, my office NOW!
FBI Agent: Ohhhh, Mia is in trouble.
Mia: Shut it.
Mia walks into the FBI Assistant Director's office.
Mia: Yes, sir?
FBI Assistant Director: Did you by any chance go to the hospital room where THE NUMBER 1 MOST WANTED WAS STAYING AND DIDN'T GET HER?
Mia: Sir, with all due respect, it took a while for the officers to even call the FBI to get to the scene.
FBI Assistant Director: It doesn't matter now; she escaped...
MIA: Sir, may I ask you something?
FBI Assistant Director: What is it?
Mia: Why is she on the top of the most wanted list?
FBI Assistant Director: She killed the CIA director and his family... that's classified information, so do not tell the public, understood?
Mia: Yes, sir.
[Year 2022 - 5 months before the terrorist attack]
We see Alex calling Blake on his phone.
Blake: Yo Alex, what's up?
Alex: Listen to me. Whatever they say about Reddington is false, okay?
Blake: Whatever who says?
Alex: No time to explain, tell Elizabeth.
Blake: Alex, what is going on?!?
Alex: Nothing you can't handle, okay?
Blake: I'm coming to you right now. Where are you?
Alex hangs up the phone.
