It doesnt get much better than that.
I dont trust nobody and nobody trusts me.
The earworm is twofold.

And Liz Liz told these men not to lie to her.
She asked them, she begged them, shetrustedthem not to lie to her.
But they cant help but love each other.
And so signs their fate.
They lie to her.
They go behind her back.
They dont offer back the trust that she so willingly gives them.
And then they get themselves killed.
I mean,MAYBE.
Because Im not Elizabeth I learn from the past.
IAN GARVEY, NO.
He walksintothe midseason finale acting just as grossly as we have seen him act in the past.
Actually much,muchgrosser.
With this, I control that power.
Meanwhile, Liz is losing her mind trying to figure out where Tom could be.
Red throws kick off the door and yells, Tom!
And with gunmen running up behind him, Tomhesitates.
But after getting shot in the shoulder, Tom decides to join his father-in-law in the car.
And Daddy just cant help himself: I warned you about this damn suitcase now look at you.
Tom thinks shes cute.
Your job is to be the friend of a friend, the Major tells him.
Notto get involved with her, you get that?
He did not get that.
Another flashback shows the Major telling Tom back in the Warby Ps, baby!
that the contractor is livid.
Youve always seen my relationship [with Liz] as a zero sum game, Red tells Tom.
You think whats good for me is bad for her and whats good for her is bad for me.
Red is certain everyone is better off not knowing whats in the suitcase.
Tom is certain Liz should know the truth (yknow, once its gone through him of course).
Which is certainlypartof the story… Not bad for a team that claims not to trust each other.
But Red isnt playing games with this whippersnapper.
Im a violent man a terrible, powerful, violent man, Red tells Tom.
But the way she looked at you, the way she loves you…Im powerless against that.
I wonder what shell thing of Reds involvement in the suitcase thats about to get Tom killed…
He opens the hilariously labeled DNA RESULTS folder he swiped and cycles through every emoji on the smileys tab.
She cant tell anyone that hes contacted her; he just has to speak with her right away.
Tom tells him that he has to because he knows the truth and now Liz will too.
She puts up a solid fight against six dudes with guns, but they get her subdued too.
But I can tell that youre the kind of guy whowontstop.
Lets have some fun, once of the junior sociopaths says, and puts on a record.
Think about how many times I have fallen.
Spirits are using me, larger voices calling/What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
I dont know, Red replies honestly.
And then theres a clear and distinct flatline.
Then there are defibrillator paddles on Toms chest.
Did I mention this is all to the tune of Disturbeds soaring cover of The Sound of Silence?
Its…a lot.
Liz wakes up and brushes Reds shoulder; he cant believe it.
With pen and paper she asks, How long?
Its been nearly a year, Red tells her.
Ten months, Liz has been unconscious.
I mean…probably
