This cold open had me at British children.
Suddenly, theyre yelling inside to their mother that its snowing outside.
It seems impossible, given the weather, and indeed, it is.
And thatsnotyour average chemical plant explosion, either.
So, Red asks Lizzie, who exactly is using his name to commit terrorist attacks?
The C-4 used in the Leeds explosion contained those chemical markers, meaning it must have come from Surkov.
Which apparentlynowmeans shes accompanied by a worried-sick Aram…toBelgrade.Internationally.
(Recap continues on next page)
It doesnt go that well.
Aram exclaims, Oh my gosh, no!
but is frozen in fear until he scrambles into the drivers seat of the car.
Thats when he remembers he doesnt know how to drive.
Donald Ressler, FBI.
Who the hell are you?
The guy who seems to be in charge responds: Reuther.
Liz immediately backs down on the FBIs behalf.
Now theyve got Ghaffari in their grips but hes not talking.
Lizzie Keen, wunderagent.
And shes not the only Keen with boundless confidence.
So Tom makes himself a guinea pig.
She seems concerned but unwilling to give Tom any information.
So who the hell are these guys?
Reuther pulls a gun just as Ressler does, and suddenly everyone is shooting.
He pilfered a missing black-ops slush fund to operate his own fake-CIA task force.
You and your team are Ilyas Surkov; you just didnt know, Cooper tells Calhoun.
But you do now and you’re able to help us stop it.
Between that and knowing from Ghaffari that Surkov, a.k.a.
Liz quickly finds Osterman posted up with a sniper rifle aimed toward a swarm of Navy officers.
But soon it became scrub the jobs we were doing werent Americas filthy work, they were Coxs.
Then theres a huge explosion.
You believe me now?
Back at the Post Office, Cooper confronts Cox.
And he took the precautions to confirm his agent wouldnt die while doing it.
Cox said he avoided international conflict at any cost, Harold.
And Im in luck.
He and Dembe assume Nik is the one Mr. Kaplan entrusted with the bones.
But inside the burner phone, Red finds a number.
And when he calls that number…he finds Toms voice.
