The Blacklist (2013–…): Season 9, Episode 22 - Marvin Gerard: Conclusion Pt. 2 - full transcript
Red, we have to go.
Not without Marvin.
Right now, there's half
a dozen cops in here.
In the next five minutes,
that number's gonna triple.
Then we better find him.
COOPER: (ON PHONE) Dembe,
any sign of Gerard?
I'm sorry, Harold.
I think Marvin's gone.
How'd he get out?
ARAM: Hang on.
We may not know where he is,
but I think we can figure out
where he is going.
Check this out.
According to records,
three private jets
were scheduled to depart
from that airport
over the next 90 minutes.
What do we know
about the three?
ARAM: Two corporate jets,
one for an insurance company,
one for a hedge fund,
and both of those make regular
trips to and from Culpeper.
But this one is owned by some
kind of shell holding company
based in the Philippines.
It was scheduled to land
and depart
all within 30 minutes
of Marvin's arrival.
What's its scheduled
destination?
Aerodromo Rizal, an airfield
about 40 minutes
outside Camaguey, Cuba.
DEMBE: (ON PHONE)
If that's Marvin's plane,
it's still here on the ground.
Nothing was cleared
to take off
after the evacuation started.
It's not, because
it never landed.
That plane was still
on approach to Culpeper
when the security alert
was called in.
Air traffic control
waved it off.
It was diverted?
To another private airfield
30 miles north.
Then that must be
where Marvin's heading.
I'm leaving now.
Send me the location.
Agent Ressler's
still in the area.
I'll reach out to him
and have him meet you there.
I don't know how it happened,
but Fisker wasn't there
and Reddington was waiting!
(SIGHS) Well, find out
where the hell he is.
I'll be in Camaguey
by morning.
I need us to be in the air
as soon as possible.
Just leave the bottle.
Mr. Gerard?
Can we wait
till we take off?
Pilot just got word
that federal agents
entered the terminal.
They must know
you're here.
How do they know
we're here?

We're just preparing.
Our passengers

Marvin Gerard.
Where is he?
I don't know who that is.

question you.
We need everyone off.
We'll wait at the gate

(BEEPING)
I'm sorry you're angry
that we got to him first.
You didn't get to him
first, Harold.
I had him, and you
took him away from me.
I would have done the same
and probably will.
I know it's hard to accept,
but this is how it has to be.
Someone has to be held
accountable,
and if it's not Marvin,
Main Justice
will go after Harold.
It's not hard to accept,
Cynthia.
It's unacceptable.
He is mine to deal with.
You'd really
rather kill him?
Even if it means
I go to prison?
I don't see either
of those outcomes
as being inevitable.
But let's be clear,
Harold.
You made your bed with
every crime you committed,
with every day
you let pass
without coming to me
for assistance,
so now you have no right
to put me at grave risk
because you acted
with reckless disregard.
Disregard for what?
Disregard for what?
That conversation could begin
and end with Agnes alone.
Elizabeth entrusted you
with her daughter.
You took her in.
You promised to protect her.
That's right.
Enough.
No, I want to say this.
I can't defend my mistakes,
except for to say
I committed them all
for one reason
to stay out of prison,
to somehow prevent that girl
from losing another parent.
You've made a bigger mess
of this
than either
of you realize.
That man is my attorney.
Do you have any idea
how clever a person
you'd have to be
to fill that position?
♪♪
♪♪
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Normally I'd let one of my
people question you, Marvin,
but I wanted
to do this myself.
Doesn't sound like
I'm in for questioning.
It sounds like you intend
to gloat or vent.
I'm not gloating, Marvin.
To be honest, I'm bereft.
The loss of Elizabeth,
the brutality of it,
especially coming from you,
takes my breath away.
But you're right, I will take
personal satisfaction
in watching you
go to prison.
You tried to destroy me.
I'm not going
to prison, Harold.
If you don't realize that yet,
you will soon enough.
You're wrong.
There's no deal coming,
Marvin.
We don't need
your cooperation.
We have Raymond, and he can
tell us anything you know.
He can, but he won't.
You're a puppet.
The federal government
sees 1%
of the Reddington
organization,
the 1%
he allows you to see.
The rest, the full scope
of what we built together,
is a criminal masterpiece
the likes of which you,
respectfully, don't have
the talent to comprehend.
Let me guess.
You'll tell me all about it
in exchange for less time
in a cell?
I don't plan on telling you
anything, Harold,
because you
are an underling.
I'm not even talking to you
right now.
I'm talking to her.
Hello, Cynthia.
You really think
she's listening,
after what you did
to Elizabeth and to me?
Yes, Harold. I do.
♪♪
Relax, Carolyn.
We're on the move. Chuck?
The courthouse?
Of all the places
for us to meet.
I'm aware of the risk.
The fact that I took it
should be all the indication
you need of just
how urgent this is.
I spoke with my father.
How is Alfred?
He's alive, and in
a pretty good mood,
considering his prostate's
the size of a grapefruit.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Well, he's 83.
You could have
killed him at 63,
so he knows he's living
on borrowed time.
I'm glad I didn't.
Why didn't you?
He never likes to talk
about your arrangement.
Sounds like Alfred.
God knows I've done
far worse to others
for stealing a fraction
of what he embezzled
from my organization.
Why didn't I?
You.
When I found out that
he was only stealing
so he could afford
to help his only child
pay for law school --
You saw an opportunity.
Well, I don't know
about that.
It's easy to be prophetic
when you're older
and looking back.
At the time, I just
liked your father
and decided to call it
an investment in the future.
My future.
It's a strange feeling
knowing my legal education
was paid for
by a criminal.
It's not so bad, Carolyn.
I may be a criminal,
but I'm also the most wanted.
It's nice to be wanted.
So this is it?
The payback?
You're finally asking
for the favor
my father promised you
in exchange for his life?
Parenthood
is a remarkable thing.
The selflessness of it.
Your father risked
everything to help you,
and I'm sure wanted
nothing in return.
But I'm not your parent,
Carolyn.
So, yes.
It's time.
Okay, Mr. Gerard.
We all see
what's happening here.
You went to war
with Reddington
and you lost,
and now you're looking
to damage your enemy.
Mm, not exactly.
You're a senator, Cynthia.
Think bigger.
No?
I'm not interested in
damaging Raymond Reddington.
I'm interested
in replacing him.
You want
to say that again?
MARVIN: Come on.
We all know that
this arrangement
you made with Raymond
is a lot more than
the government bargained for.
He's uncontrollable.
He continues to commit crimes.
The task force is,
frankly, off the rails.
Is that so?
Are you kidding me?
The assistant director
of the FBI
is responsible
for half a dozen felonies.
Yes, because you targeted
and blackmailed him.
No. I mean, yes,
I did do that,
but Harold
always had a choice.
He didn't have
to break the law.
He could have refused,
but he didn't. Why?
Because Harold
is the way he is
after all these years
of working with Raymond.
Oh, that's rich.
I'm offering you
and your bosses
the chance to start over.
I'm the man
behind the curtain, Cynthia.
I run Reddington's
organization,
which is why I can deliver
the same end product.
I can maintain
the blacklist.
I have access
to the same intel
and can be a far more
reliable partner
to the Justice Department
than Reddington ever was.
You murdered Agent Keen,
framed Harold,
and now you want
to use the chaos you created
as proof
that we need a change?
I'm the better option.
That's not clever.
It's insidious.
Is it? My offer is simple.
He's out.
I'm in.
I get his deal,
and in exchange,
I continue to provide
Main Justice
with a steady stream
of criminals
you don't even know exist.
And what happens
to Reddington?
That's the best part.
Main Justice gets what
it always wanted, arrest him.
Drop him
in a hole somewhere.
This task force
will never work with you.
That's true.
That's why we've got
to get rid of them, too.
We start a new task force,
the Marvin Gerard task force.
You honestly think
the Attorney General
will go for that?
I do, and if we hurry up,
we might even be able
to get this thing
up and running
by the end of the week.
COOPER: Main Justice
has Marvin in lockdown.
Instead of a detention center,
they sent him to the Cooler
while he waits
on the Attorney General
to decide on his offer.
The Cooler?
That's inmate talk
for Calvin Coolidge
Correctional Facility.
He's being closely guarded.
He's only allowed in his cell
or the prison library.
Because he's
representing himself?
It's a nightmare scenario.
COOPER:
It may get even darker.
If Marvin's offer is accepted,
Raymond will be arrested.
What happens to us?
I don't know. I assumed
you'd all be reassigned.
If I'm not being prosecuted,
maybe they'll let me retire.
What do you mean, if you're
not being prosecuted?
We did what they wanted.
We arrested Marvin.
That was never a guarantee.
RESSLER: The irony is,
now that we've found him,
we have to protect Marvin
against Reddington.
COOPER:
One of us is going to prison.
If Raymond kills Marvin,
I don't like my chances.
I can keep an eye on Raymond,
see what he's planning.
Great. I'll go with you.
Alina.
You can't be in the field.
And I won't be.
I'll be in the car.
Come on, now I can't even
do surveillance?
What's the latest?
I'll be seeing
a top neurologist
in D.C. later today.
If he clears me, I'm back.
If not, this could be
my last assignment.
Okay. But stay in the car.
♪♪
He's just sitting there.
How long ago did he leave?
DEMBE: Ten minutes.
He left the warehouse
and drove straight here.
He's less than half a mile
from where Marvin's
being held.
That is probably
not a coincidence.
Hang on. There's
another car approaching.
♪♪
What's happening?
Reddington's talking
to the driver.
I don't recognize him.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
I'm sending you photos to run
for facial recognition.
DEMBE: He obviously knows
who Raymond is.
Wait a minute. Reddington's
handing him something.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
It's cash.
For what?
ARAM: Okay, I got the photos.
All right, I'm running
his image
through bureau databases now.
There he is. A Lieutenant
Theodore Heneveld.
He's a guard at the Coolidge
Correctional Facility.
Unbelievable. Reddington
really is gonna kill Marvin.
Do you want us to move in?
ARAM: Negative. You're staying
in the car, remember?
Actually, both of you,
get back here now.
So now what?
I think Marvin's
in serious danger.
ARAM: Get out to Coolidge,
and when Heneveld shows up
for work, arrest him.
Bring him in for questioning.
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
♪♪
Can I help you?
Are you him?
I'm gonna need a little more
context for that question.
The others say
you're Marvin Gerard,
Mr. Raymond Reddington's
personal attorney.
I know Raymond.
And you are?
He knows me
by the name Wujing.
You're Wujing?
The most prolific assassin
who ever worked
for the Chinese state
security service?
May I sit?
You've murdered more American
operatives than I can name.
What am I gonna say,
no?
(CHUCKLES)
Why are you here?
I'm not gonna be here
very long.
How about we just keep this
about you?
Well, I'm serving
a life sentence
with no chance of parole.
My only hope of seeing
my kin and my country again
is to escape this...
place.
Yeah, well.
Good luck with that.
I don't need luck.
After years of planning,
I'm finally close.
We have succeeded in placing
someone on the inside,
on the transport team
at the Bureau of Prisons.
I'm sorry.
I didn't quite catch that.
The next time I'm taken
to the courthouse,
this inside man will be
waiting to set me free.
And you're telling me this
because?
You are a lawyer.
Not just a lawyer,
Reddington's lawyer.
That means you must be
brilliant.
And you are brilliant, yes?
Yes.
Well, my lawyers have tried
and have been unable
to secure for me
a trip to the courthouse.
They have filed motions
and each one has been denied.
All I need is a reason
for the judge
to grant me
some form of hearing.
Ineffective assistance
of counsel.
Your lawyers have tried
everything except
for the one motion that means
they're terrible lawyers.
If you claim that your own
lawyers are incompetent,
I'll be you dollars to donuts,
you'll get your hearing.
So, you are
Marvin Gerard.
You're damn right I am.
That look tells me
you have news.
Good or bad?
Only kind you get
around here, Harold.
Good and bad.
I can guess the bad.
The Attorney General wants
to take Marvin up
on his offer
to replace Reddington.
You don't seem surprised.
On the contrary,
I'm stunned.
Every time I think
I know how stupid
Main Justice can be,
I discover
there's a new low.
The AG's not stupid,
Harold.
He's embarrassed.
Not too many people
know about our deal
with Reddington,
but of those who do,
there are plenty who think
it's beneath our government's
integrity to partner
with a criminal
of his stature.
I've heard those arguments.
They're theoretical.
Those people
don't experience the reality
of our association.
No, what they experience
are classified briefings
about the crimes
he still commits,
briefings about the death
of Agent Keen
and the felonies
being committed
by the Assistant Director
of the FBI.
No, they don't get a sense
of the full reality,
but what they do see
makes them want to cringe.
Reddington's out.
Arrest warrant's
been issued.
The AG expects you
to take him into custody
next time
he's in your company.
And us?
You're out, too.
There's a new task force
being sourced as we speak.
You said
you had good news?
Well, then I undersold,
because it's not good.
It's great.
Main Justice has agreed
not to charge you.
On which counts?
All of them.
It worked, Harold.
They're happy.
They feel smart
and in control.
Congratulations.
The moment Marvin's deal
takes effect,
their promise to you
becomes binding.
ALINA:
What'd you do today
before your shift stared,
Mr. Heneveld?
Nothing.
A secret meeting
with the most wanted man
in the world?
A jury might consider
that something.
DEMBE: Your career is over,
lieutenant.
The only question now
is whether your colleagues
at work
will end up guarding you.
Hope you were good
to the inmates.
Save the heavy hand
for the next guy.
I'm not making this any harder
than it needs to be.
What was the meeting
about?
I'll tell you,
but you won't believe me.
Try us.
He wants to break
into the Cooler.
Apparently, his lawyer's
being held there,
and he wants to meet
with him off the record.
Why'd he come to you?
Because he knows
I move contraband
in and out of there.
One of the inmates,
Flody Pascal,
his cousin's high up
in the Quito cartel.
They built a passageway
from the outside
so they could
send him things.
A passageway?
You mean a tunnel?
I don't know.
There's a vent
behind the boiler
in one
of the sub-basements.
They leave stuff
behind the grate.
I get it and distribute it,
no questions asked.
The passageway has to be
big enough
for a person
to pass through.
Reddington knows
the access point.
I'm supposed to be
waiting at the grate
to let him in.
You were right.
Reddington won't stop
until Marvin's dead.
Can you imagine
the hubris
to break into a federal prison
and murder an inmate?
We'll get Gerard
out of there.
We have to transport him
to the courthouse
so a judge can sign off
on his immunity deal.
In the meantime,
Agent Zuma and I
will make sure
that tunnel's shut down.
Raymond's not getting
into that prison.
♪♪
I almost destroyed my career
a thousand times in this job.
I figured I'd finally do it
when I came face to face
with whoever really
killed Elizabeth Keen.
I honestly think I'd do it
if I were the only one
who'd pay the price.
You'd kill me?
Probably.
But then Cooper would end up
going to jail
and Agnes Keen would lose
another parent.
It makes me sick,
knowing that you're gonna
get what you want.
What I want?
You think
this is what I want?
I didn't beat Reddington.
We both lost.
I would have worked for him
till the end.
Now I'm an informant.
Well, at least I am until
Raymond exacts his revenge.
He's trying.
Insanely, we're the ones
protecting you.
You can't protect me.
We can.
Reddington had a plan
to get into the prison.
As we speak,
we're shutting it down.
He had this plan,
this time.
There will always
be another.
One day,
one will succeed.
Blanket immunity.
You know, I thought
you'd be happy.
I'm gonna take the deal,
Donald.
But let's be clear,
this is the worst day
of what's left of my life.

Well played, Raymond.
Task force thought they

Yeah, well, cat and mouse.
Cat and mouse.
How did you convince
the judge to step away?
I didn't have to.
He was summoned by his boss.
Marquez, right.
I knew you had a hook
into the Chief Judge,
I just
didn't see the play.
You always were
a great strategist, Raymond.
You were always
a great consigliere.
What a sad end
to our association,
our friendship.
Is that what I hear
in your voice, Raymond?
Sadness?
In part.
For what it's worth, Marvin,
I understand
your turn of events.
The betrayal is unforgivable
and you'll die for it,
but it's understandable.
After all, my feelings
for Elizabeth
weren't always rational.
I was often emotional
rather than pragmatic,
and you weren't
entirely wrong to wonder
if Elizabeth was capable
or worthy of running things.
Not entirely wrong,
or even slightly.
Still, however subjective
my decision was,
the objective truth
is that it was mine to make.
You voiced your objections.
You'd already made up
your mind.
And once
the choice was made,
it was your obligation
to live with it, Marvin.
Even if it meant watching
everything we built crumble
before my eyes?
Yes.
No.
I wasn't your servant,
Raymond.
I was your partner.
We created
an empire together.
I may have been
in the shadows,
but it was
my life's work, too.
You had no right to have
been so reckless with it
and blindly
expect my loyalty.
I loved you, Marvin,
but we were
never partners.
You worked for me.
I valued you.
I pulled you close.
I wanted and needed your help
and friendship.
I never dreamed that
it would cost me Elizabeth.
You never dreamed
that I would have the courage
to defy you.
I wonder how many cowards
have gone to their graves
insisting
on their own courage.
You think I'm a coward?
Marvin, if you wanted
Elizabeth dead,
you could have
done it yourself
in a thousand dignified ways.
Instead,
you used Vandyke.
You let him shoot her
down in the street
to hide your involvement.
You targeted Harold
because you were afraid
the task force would help me
discover what you'd done.
I was brave enough to go
to war with you.
Only because you had
nowhere left to run.
Framing Heddie.
Creating the specter
of Kate Kaplan.
Those were acts
of cowardice, Marvin.
The Department of Justice
may hope otherwise,
but you are not me.
You can't hide from me.
You can't best me,
and God knows
you could never replace me.
We are sitting
in a federal courthouse,

Marvin's deal went into effect
a little while ago,
as did the promise
for Main Justice
not to prosecute me.
It worked, Raymond.
Bringing him in
brought me my life back.
And yet you seem troubled.
I am, because
the devil's bargain
came with a hefty price.
Marvin's freedom.
And your arrest.
I was ordered
to place you in custody
the next time I saw you.
I see.
You're here because I have
no intention of doing that.
Apparently I have one crime
left to commit.
Letting me go?
That's very sweet of you,
Harold.
I appreciate the warning,
though I'm certain
it's unnecessary.
It's true, Marvin's deal
did take effect.
I had to make sure
of that,
but he won't be cooperating
with the government.
COOPER: I don't understand.
RAYMOND: No, I don't suppose
you do.
Marvin and I said
our goodbyes today.
You spoke

How is that

MARVIN: Then do it.
I've had enough.
You're right.
I can't beat you,
and I never really
wanted to try.
It'll be done, Marvin,
but I won't be the one
to do it.
Out of respect
for our history,
I'm going to give you what
you never gave Elizabeth,
a chance to leave this world
in whatever way you choose,
a chance to make it painless,
to put your affairs in order
and say goodbye to those
who would grieve your passing.
And if I refuse?
Then you and I would get
the answer to a question
I've been asking myself
since the night
Elizabeth died,
what will I do
to the person responsible?
How dark is the blackness
at the center of this hole
in my heart?
I'm not sure I really want
to know that, Marvin,

we'll find out together.
You may not pull
the trigger, Raymond,

it's because you killed me.
I devoted everything to you,
to your vision,

was our vision.
A life of crime
with a common purpose,
to help keep the world
from slipping
into the kind of evil
we know humans
are capable of.
I thought we were
together in this.
We were.
No, Raymond,

it was the most
important thing,

And why is that?
Because I just heard

Okay.
Here goes.
It's been three years
since we lost Elizabeth.
In some ways,
it's gotten easier,
but in most ways,
it still hurts.
There goes my hope of doing
this without crying.
And, uh, this part
won't be any easier.
After a lot
of careful reflection...
...I have decided
to take some time away.
I do not know how long,
but I do know away.
So what's your plan?
My plan is no plan.
I found a cool place
in Brooklyn,
and I plan to go up there
and just, you know,
ride my bike,
do New York,
eat lots of pizza,
look at the people,
maybe a Broadway show.
Anyway, I know we are here
to talk about Elizabeth,
but I've been wanting
to tell you guys.
I think
she'd like that idea.
I remember when I saw
she was a profiler
and I asked her
to profile herself.
What did she say?
She described someone similar
and yet
so, so different
from the woman
I grew to know and love.
I didn't like her.
I mean, I came around,
but she really got to me.
COOPER: Alina, you made it.
How'd it go
with the Bureau neurologist?
Well, not like I expected.
Apparently, my headaches
have been getting worse
because of a pretty serious
medical condition.
I'm pregnant.
Oh!
Oh, my God!
Congratulations!
Pete must be
over the moon.
So the headaches
aren't permanent?
They don't know,
but they don't think so.
Still, if it's okay, I'd like
to take a medical leave
from the task force
until we know for sure.
You'll be back in the field
before you know it.
Maybe.
Or maybe
life's got other plans.
Once the baby's born,
either way,
I'll be great.
Dembe?
I think you're up.
Would you care
to say anything?
It was a little different
for me,
because my relationship
with Elizabeth
was always in terms
of Raymond.
I remember when Elizabeth was
several years younger
than Agnes is now.
Raymond and I went to a soccer
match she was playing in.
The match was a disaster.
All these girls
running this way and that.
A lot of missed goals
or goals made by accident,
but it was so much fun.
And after it was over,
I don't think anyone really
cared or knew who won or lost.
Everyone was standing around,
having snacks and juices,
comparing scrapes and bruises,
and there was a lot
of noise and activity,
but suddenly,
I heard this laugh.
This sort of explosive,
spontaneous laugh,
young and so full of joy
and infectious,
but also familiar.
It was Elizabeth.
But I turned to look
next to me,
because just for a second,
I thought it was Raymond.
(CHUCKLES)
And some years later,
just before Elizabeth died,
we all spent
a few days together
in D.C. and New York --
Raymond, Elizabeth, Agnes,
myself, and Mrs. French,
just hanging around, talking,
eating, playing board games,
walking in the park.
We went
to a couple of museums,
got ice cream,
and we just laughed
with each other.
Agnes, Elizabeth,
and Raymond.
This funny, little family
who all share that laugh.

mischievous,
loving, hungry,
wanting, tragic heart.

How'd he get out?

We may not know where he is,

where he is going.
Check this out.
According to records,
three private jets
were scheduled to depart
from that airport
over the next 90 minutes.
What do we know
about the three?
ARAM: Two corporate jets,
one for an insurance company,
one for a hedge fund,
and both of those make regular
trips to and from Culpeper.
But this one is owned by some
kind of shell holding company
based in the Philippines.
It was scheduled to land
and depart
all within 30 minutes
of Marvin's arrival.
What's its scheduled
destination?
Aerodromo Rizal, an airfield
about 40 minutes
outside Camaguey, Cuba.
DEMBE: (ON PHONE)
If that's Marvin's plane,
it's still here on the ground.
Nothing was cleared
to take off
after the evacuation started.
It's not, because
it never landed.
That plane was still
on approach to Culpeper
when the security alert
was called in.
Air traffic control
waved it off.
It was diverted?
To another private airfield
30 miles north.
Then that must be
where Marvin's heading.
I'm leaving now.

this arrangement
you made with Raymond

He's uncontrollable.
He continues to commit crimes.
The task force is,
frankly, off the rails.
Is that so?
Are you kidding me?
The assistant director
of the FBI

for half a dozen felonies.
Yes, because you targeted
and blackmailed him.
No. I mean, yes,
I did do that,
but Harold

to break the law.
He could have refused,

framed Harold,

I continue to provide
Main Justice

Main Justice gets what
it always wanted, arrest him.
Drop him

This task force
will never work with you.
That's true.
That's why we've got
to get rid of them, too.
We start a new task force,

the Attorney General

Instead of a detention center,

a thousand times in this job.

killed Elizabeth Keen.

who'd pay the price.
You'd kill me?
Probably.

going to jail

Hello, Marvin.
Your judge had to step out,

Well played, Raymond.
Task force thought they
figured out your plan
to get to me at Coolidge.
Yeah, well, cat and mouse.
Cat and mouse.
How did you convince
the judge to step away?
I didn't have to.
He was summoned by his boss.
Marquez, right.
I knew you had a hook
into the Chief Judge,
I just
didn't see the play.
You always were
a great strategist, Raymond.
You were always
a great consigliere.
What a sad end
to our association,
our friendship.
Is that what I hear
in your voice, Raymond?
Sadness?
In part.
For what it's worth, Marvin,
I understand
your turn of events.
The betrayal is unforgivable
and you'll die for it,
but it's understandable.
After all, my feelings
for Elizabeth
weren't always rational.
I was often emotional
rather than pragmatic,
and you weren't
entirely wrong to wonder
if Elizabeth was capable
or worthy of running things.
Not entirely wrong,
or even slightly.
Still, however subjective
my decision was,
the objective truth
is that it was mine to make.
You voiced your objections.
You'd already made up
your mind.
And once
the choice was made,
it was your obligation
to live with it, Marvin.
Even if it meant watching
everything we built crumble
before my eyes?
Yes.
No.
I wasn't your servant,
Raymond.
I was your partner.
We created
an empire together.
I may have been
in the shadows,
but it was
my life's work, too.
You had no right to have
been so reckless with it
and blindly
expect my loyalty.
I loved you, Marvin,
but we were
never partners.
You worked for me.
I valued you.
I pulled you close.
I wanted and needed your help
and friendship.
I never dreamed that
it would cost me Elizabeth.
You never dreamed
that I would have the courage
to defy you.
I wonder how many cowards
have gone to their graves
insisting
on their own courage.
You think I'm a coward?
Marvin, if you wanted
Elizabeth dead,
you could have
done it yourself
in a thousand dignified ways.
Instead,
you used Vandyke.
You let him shoot her
down in the street
to hide your involvement.
You targeted Harold
because you were afraid
the task force would help me
discover what you'd done.
I was brave enough to go
to war with you.
Only because you had
nowhere left to run.
Framing Heddie.
Creating the specter
of Kate Kaplan.
Those were acts
of cowardice, Marvin.
The Department of Justice
may hope otherwise,
but you are not me.
You can't hide from me.
You can't best me,

you could never replace me.

Marvin's deal went into effect
a little while ago,
as did the promise

not to prosecute me.
It worked, Raymond.

the devil's bargain
came with a hefty price.
Marvin's freedom.
And your arrest.
I was ordered
to place you in custody

no intention of doing that.
Apparently I have one crime
left to commit.
Letting me go?

it's unnecessary.
It's true, Marvin's deal
did take effect.

wanted to try.
It'll be done, Marvin,
but I won't be the one
to do it.
Out of respect
for our history,
I'm going to give you what
you never gave Elizabeth,
a chance to leave this world
in whatever way you choose,
a chance to make it painless,
to put your affairs in order
and say goodbye to those
who would grieve your passing.
And if I refuse?
Then you and I would get
the answer to a question
I've been asking myself
since the night
Elizabeth died,
what will I do
to the person responsible?
How dark is the blackness
at the center of this hole
in my heart?
I'm not sure I really want
to know that, Marvin,
but if need be,
we'll find out together.
You may not pull
the trigger, Raymond,
but if I die,
it's because you killed me.
I devoted everything to you,
to your vision,
to what I thought
was our vision.
A life of crime
with a common purpose,
to help keep the world
from slipping
into the kind of evil
we know humans
are capable of.
I thought we were
together in this.
We were.
No, Raymond,
because to me,
it was the most
important thing,
but to you, it wasn't.

And, uh, this part
won't be any easier.

eat lots of pizza,
look at the people,
maybe a Broadway show.

but I've been wanting
to tell you guys.

she was a profiler
and I asked her
to profile herself.
What did she say?
She described someone similar
and yet
so, so different
from the woman
I grew to know and love.
I didn't like her.
I mean, I came around,
but she really got to me.
COOPER: Alina, you made it.
How'd it go

Well, not like I expected.
Apparently, my headaches
have been getting worse

medical condition.
I'm pregnant.
Oh!
Oh, my God!
Congratulations!
Pete must be

So the headaches
aren't permanent?
They don't know,
but they don't think so.
Still, if it's okay, I'd like
to take a medical leave
from the task force
until we know for sure.
You'll be back in the field
before you know it.
Maybe.
Or maybe
life's got other plans.
Once the baby's born,
either way,
I'll be great.
Dembe?
I think you're up.
Would you care
to say anything?
It was a little different
for me,
because my relationship
with Elizabeth
was always in terms
of Raymond.
I remember when Elizabeth was
several years younger
than Agnes is now.
Raymond and I went to a soccer
match she was playing in.
The match was a disaster.
All these girls
running this way and that.
A lot of missed goals
or goals made by accident,
but it was so much fun.
And after it was over,
I don't think anyone really
cared or knew who won or lost.
Everyone was standing around,
having snacks and juices,
comparing scrapes and bruises,
and there was a lot
of noise and activity,
but suddenly,
I heard this laugh.
This sort of explosive,
spontaneous laugh,
young and so full of joy
and infectious,
but also familiar.
It was Elizabeth.
But I turned to look
next to me,
because just for a second,
I thought it was Raymond.
(CHUCKLES)
And some years later,
just before Elizabeth died,
we all spent
a few days together
in D.C. and New York --
Raymond, Elizabeth, Agnes,
myself, and Mrs. French,
just hanging around, talking,
eating, playing board games,
walking in the park.
We went
to a couple of museums,
got ice cream,
and we just laughed
with each other.
Agnes, Elizabeth,
and Raymond.

who all share that laugh.
