The Boy Scout & The Profiler [Ressler&Liz|Diego&Megan] #14: "You're a knucklehead and a dipstick and you're someone I rely on for like, everything."

A recruit from Quantico, Elizabeth Keen, and a well experienced agent of the FBI, Donald Ressler, crossing paths,
while being in completely different states of their lives. There is mistrust and what seems like insurmountable deviations at first. But soon enough the gap is becoming smaller, until one day they find themselves equals, peers. They respect each other for who they are and what they managed to achieve. Will it at one point turn into love? Will they move forward from the state of being just colleagues and friends?
We need to be patient and go along with them exploring the other and maybe one day realizing the other being the soulmate.


the first time they met

Episode 2x01

Liz: "You did good."
Ressler: "You're right. I was amazing."
Episode 2x02

Liz: That's a trade-off I'd make."
Ressler: "The fact that you're even thinking about what trade-offs you'd make, what rules you'd ignore. The Agent Keen I met a year ago would have never done that."

Liz: "That doesn't make it right."
Ressler: "No. It’s never gonna be right. See, the only question is the body count. So, you go ahead, you nail yourself to a cross. And while you’re up there feeling sanctified, you consider how many people are gonna die because this task force gets shut down and the rest of those animals on Reddington’s list are still out there feeding.

Ressler: "What's going on Keen?"
Liz: "You said earlier that I had so much to celebrate. You know that isn't true. I mean I thought by the time I was in my thirties I'd have something to show for it. I would at least be a prestiges profiler. I mean I was the top of my class. I thought I'd have a loving relationship with someone. Maybe we would be raising a family together."
Ressler: "At least you got a dog. That's one up on me."
Liz: "I don't know who I am. I don't know if this is my birthday. I don't even know my own name. No, I know who I am. I am the puppet of some high functioning sociopath. I don't even know what I am doing here."
Ressler: "What you are doing, is celebrating your birthday. With me."
Liz: "What did you.."

Ressler: "And if you run? What does that look like? If someone is setting you up, you are giving them exactly what they want. You can fight this. But you gotta do it from inside the system."
Liz: "In about twenty seconds that camera is going to turn back on. If you're gonna let me go, you gotta do it now before people see you standing here with me."
Episode 2x22

Ressler: "Where the hell are you?"

Episode 3x02

Ressler: "I owe you Keen. You saved my life back at that convoy. So now let me return the favor. Come out before this gets bad."

Ressler: "I'm sorry Keen. I expected the Director to try something but I also expected Reven Wright to be there. To intervene."
Liz: "What happened?"
Ressler: "I think Laurel Hitchin killed her or had her killed."
Liz: "My god, they are in the White House."
Ressler: "Hey look, Reven might be gone but the safeguards we put in place for your arrest are still in tact. She arranged for your case to be heard by a judge that she trusted completely."
Liz: "As much as she trusted Laurel Hitchin?"
Ressler: "Pending trial you will be housed under military guard at Fort Meade. We can keep you safethere Liz. I wouldn't have brought you in if I didn't believe that."

Liz: "What the hell happened out there?"
Ressler: "I don't know. I got a call from Laurel Hitchin, warning me that it wasn't safe."
Liz: "It was her hit. Why would she call it off?"
Ressler: "I don't know. It's Reddington. He must be negotiating a deal. Liz, it's working."
Liz: "I'd be pleading guilty to homicide. There taking away my badge. If I sign this, I will never be an agent again."
Ressler: "No but the Task Force would continue. Cooper would be cleared, put back in charge and you'd keep working with Reddington. To assist the government as an asset we employ not as an active agent."

Liz: "Kirk thinks Agnes is his granddaughter, so he won't hurt her."
Ressler: "You really think that Alexander Kirk is your biological father?"

Episode 4x03

Liz: "This is our case."
Ressler: "Not anymore. We're trying to coordinate a search with over a dozen foreign governments. Main Justice is running point now."
Tom: "Well, we need to see everything."
Ressler: "Yeah, not gonna happen."
Liz: "Ressler, why not?"
Ressler: "Because you lost your security clearance, Keen. And technically, both of you guys are victims in this case. If you want, dig in. As it is, I'm violating federal code. I could go to jail for even showing you what I have."

Liz: "No, we're not. I have an idea."
Episode 4x08

Ressler: "Forget it, Keen. I know that look. Don't tell me you believe him."

Ressler: "What about an eyewitness, Keen? Does that change your mind?"
Episode 4x09

Ressler: "She knows you're FBI? Keen, we gotta pull you out."
Liz: "Margot's contact says Helldritch is in Hong Kong."
Ressler: "We have no jurisdiction there."
Liz: "Our only shot at recovering the WITSEC list is to have The Harem steal it, and I've got to be there."
Ressler: "If Emma rolls on you?"
Liz: "She won't."
Ressler: "Why? Because Reddington's got his hooks in her?"
Liz "We can't let The Harem steal the WITSEC list and run with it."

Episode 4x13

Ressler: "Hey, Keen. Gale thinks you're Reddington's informant."

Liz: "I’m not Reddington’s informant."
Ressler: "So tell him. It's not gonna be a lie. And it'll also help hide the truth about the task force. We can't let him find out about that."

Ressler: Keen, I found a witness who saw Hitchin's men dispose of Reven's body."
Liz: "There is no witness."
Ressler: "What are you talking about? I met her, okay? She told me everything."
Liz: "Your memory was manipulated by Dr. Bogdan Krilov. We have him in custody."
Ressler: "No. I know what I saw. Trust me."
Liz: "No, you need to trust me. The Detective who reached out to you?"
Ressler: "Elijah Bell."
Liz: "There is no Elijah Bell in the Philly PD. He works with Krilov and so does your witness."
Ressler: "No. No. I was at her house, okay? I was there when she was taken."
Liz: "By Krilov's men. He staged the whole thing. Hitchin wasn't involved. During the raid, you were knocked out, unconscious.
That's when Krilov started to work on you, implanting memories. Hitchin coming to pick you up."
Ressler: "How do you know that?"
Liz: "Krilov made it up. Krilov staged the whole thing."
Ressler: "No. No! We're not gonna let her get away with this."
Liz: "No, you're right. We will find justice for Reven. Just not this way. Ressler, look at your hand. You were drugged. Propofol, Tramadol. It's not your fault. You're the victim here."
Episode 4x19

Liz: "Donald Ressler represents what's best about this country. He's loyal and honest, and he believes that no one, no one is above the law. And I believe that one day, you'll be the one being dragged off in handcuffs. And he'll be walking into his lake house to watch the sunset."

Ressler: "Keen, he's in the system now."
Liz: "Is that what you want? For Reddington to get arrested so we don't have to work with him anymore?"
Ressler: "Go ahead, Keen, say it. I know it's what you're thinking."
Liz: "Thinking what?"
Ressler: "That I called it in. Reddington's whereabouts, that they arrested him because of me."

Liz: "This would be the perfect date for your cousin's wedding. I mean, we all know how amazing you are, but you're pushing forty with no prospects. Why let your cousin in on that?"

Ressler: "Okay, that's not so bad."
Liz: "Yeah, well, the thing is there's a dead body inside the stolen van."
Ressler: "I'm sorry. I'm just I'm trying to run my head around all this. So Reddington's not Reddington. He's.."
Liz: "An imposter."
Ressler: "Who you turned in. I mean, he's in prison, facing the death penalty because of you."
Liz: "If I had gone to the FBI, then he would have found out that Jennifer and I know. "
Ressler: "And you're sure he hasn't?"
Liz: "The only thing I'm sure of is that he'll do anything to keep anyone from knowing the truth."
Episode 6x08

Ressler: "So the bones in that duffel bag, the truth that Kaplan knew, the one that got Tom killed is that Reddington's an imposter."

Ressler: "We'll findher."
Episode 6x08

Liz: "Tell me about Hannah."
Ressler: "Don't worry, Keen. You didn't come between me and true love even if you brought over a dead guy and a fake-pregnant, convulsing drug mule."
Liz: "She had a key to your apartment. It seemed pretty serious."
Resler: "We chased Reddington for a decade, and not only didn't I catch him, but now I know that it wasn't even really him that I was chasing. So things aren't always as they seem."
Liz: "Tell me about it. I thought Reddington was my father. I thought Tom was just a teacher."
Ressler: "I paid Hannah to be my girlfriend."
Liz: "Say that again."
Ressler: "She works at Alter Ego, a place that hires actors out to, uh.."
Liz: "Play parts, yeah. No, I remember. Brothers, sisters, brides. You took her to your cousin's wedding."
Ressler: "As I recall, someone pointed out that I was pushing 40 with no real prospects.
Liz: "You make it sound like I said you were a loser. I distinctly remember saying that you were an amazing loser. And I saw the way she looked at you. I mean, clearly, she saw the amazing part."
Ressler: "Well, I appreciate you saying that."
Liz: "That, or she was an amazing actor."
Episode 6x08

Liz: "You can't go to jail to protect his secret."
Ressler: "Sima may not ask anything that requires me to lie."
Liz: "But if he does ask you to confirm that Raymond Reddington is the defendant, you can't say yes."
Ressler: "If I say no, if I tell the truth, he's gonna know that we know, and he'll do everything he can to keep us from learning his true identity."
Liz: "If the only way for me to find out who he really is is for the most honest person I know to commit perjury, I don't want to know."
Ressler: "If Reddington just If he admitted that he was the imposter, the charges would be dropped. I mean, he's facing the death penalty, and, still, he says nothing. If he's okay with that, so am I. Besides, I'm not that honest."
Liz: "I said you were the most honest person I know."

Ressler: "But if something were to happen to you because you did that, I would never forgive myself."
Episode 6x09

Liz: "You lied to the judge to protect my search for the imposter's true identity. You ignored everything I asked you not to do. And I just wanted to say thank you."
Ressler: "That must've been hard, hearing that tape today. Listening to your mother betray your father like that. "
Liz: "To be honest with you, Ressler, this has all been hard. Ever since I met the imposter. You can raise your walls and protect what you've lain but, yes, especially now, knowing that my mother helped this imposter steal my real father's good name."
Ressler: "But why? I mean, before today, everyone thought Reddington was a traitor. The government, the press, and, still, the imposter chose to take his identity. I mean, he went to a surgeon who could have given him the identity of anyone in the world. He could have been anyone. And yet he chose to be a pariah. He chose the life of a wanted fugitive. Why? Why would anyone do that?"
Episode 6x09

Liz: "I thought we had an agreement."
Ressler: "An agreement? What agreement?"
Liz: "CIA documents from the Russia desk? Some kind of passenger manifest from '91? You're looking for my mother."
Ressler: "Keen, listen."
Liz: "I told you, I'm not interested in digging this up, and I'm certainly not interested in you digging this up."
Ressler: "Keen, if you'd let me finish. This was in motion long before you and I spoke. I requested this file weeks ago and it took this long. Look. It's nothing. All right? See?
Liz: "Thank you."
Ressler: "We good?"
Episode 6x16

Ressler: "Where have you been hiding? You've been a ghost ever since I told you that I've been looking into who Reddington was. Thought maybe you were still pissed at me."

Ressler: "You deserve to know."
Liz: "Yeah, but I don't need to. I'm happy. I've got Agnes back. I'm not gonna risk that to hunt for answers about a woman I've never really known. It isn't worth it."

Liz: "Ressler. She isn’t dead."
Ressler: "But you– I mean, you.. You told Cooper that Reddington saw her gunned down on the street."
Liz: "She staged that for Reddington’s benefit."
Ressler: "So Reddington would tell everyone she’s dead, and the dogs would be called off."
Liz: "But they’re gonna come back unless she finds another way to protect herself. And until she does, we can’t tell anyone she’s alive."
Ressler: "Did Reddington admit that it was her?"

Ressler: "So we killed the man who killed our father. I pulled the trigger, yeah and to protect me, my brother did the rest. But we each had a hand in it. Look, we know where the body is. We can take you to it. But because of my involvement, I have to recuse myself from any part of the rest of this case. That’s why I called you. I knew you would help. I- I knew you would do the right thing."
Liz: "Ressler, I– I’m not sure what I’m supposed to say."
Ressler: "Well, say you agree with me about how we should handle this. I mean, we arrest those bastards who took the car for theft, for extortion, for all the other poison they pump into the city. And then after that, my brother and I come clean about what we’ve done."
Liz: "I don’t know that I do agree. After the story you told me, after what you’ve been through.. both of you.."
Ressler: "No, we have to do the right thing. It’s important."
Liz: "Of course, yes, I will help you. I just want to make sure you’re prepared to face the consequences when the FBI gets their hands on that vehicle and that body. Because if we go in and arrest those people, eventually, the FBI’s gonna open up that trunk."
Ressler: "And find Tommy Markin. I know."
Liz: "Are you really okay with dealing with the consequences of that?"
Ressler: "I’ve been running from this my whole life. I need it to be done. We both need it to be done."
Episode 7x17

Ressler: "You know, Keen, I didn’t like you when we first met. I was wrong. You’re a good agent. You’re the kind of agent that people join the FBI to try to become. But you’re also a good person. Much better person than I am. So, whatever happens out there today, the Task Force is gonna be in good hands with you."
Episode 7x17

Ressler: "Did you do it to protect me?"
Liz: "You say that like it’s a bad thing."
Ressler: "I’m not gonna ask you how you did it. I won’t ask what you did with Markin’s body or how you even scrubbed that car clean, but.."
Liz: "I learned from the best."
Ressler: "Look, I want to know.. I mean Liz, I need to know why?"
Liz: "You were in trouble. You needed help."
Ressler: "No, y-y-you– you risked everything. I mean, if you.. you’d have been caught."
Liz: "Yeah, but I wasn’t."
Ressler: "Yeah, but you could’ve been."
Liz: "Are you trying to say thank you? ‘Cause if that’s what you’re doing, you’re doing a terrible job of it."
Episode 7x17

Ressler: "I never would’ve asked you to take such a huge risk for me."
Liz: "You didn’t ask."
Ressler: "Yeah, but you did it anyway."
Liz: "It wasn’t for you, knucklehead. It was for me."
Ressler: "For you?"
Liz: "Look, if you wanna ruin your life over something you did a lifetime ago when you were a teenager, for God’s sake then someday, sure, I’ll let you."
Ressler: "You’ll let me?"
Liz: "Yeah, you have my permission to be a total dipstick."
Ressler: "So, what am I? A dipstick or a knucklehead?"
Liz: "You’re a knucklehead and a dipstick, and you’re someone that I rely on, for, like everything."
Ressler: "We both know that’s not true."
Liz: "Have you looked at my life? I’m a widow and a single mom. A marionette with a high-functioning sociopath pulling my strings. My grandfather tried to murder my mother and my mother is a legendarily lethal Russian spy who moved in next door without even telling me who she was. Have you looked at my life? I mean, really taken a close look. Because it’s like I’m in the middle of a monsoon that’s constantly threatening to drown me in bad news. And somewhere in the middle of that FEMA disaster of a life.. Somewhere is just a tiny island of calm. And if that weren’t there, I would be swept out to sea."
Ressler: "No, that’s never gonna happen."
Liz: "It would if you weren’t here."
Ressler: But I am. And it won’t. Come here. It’s never gonna happen. Not on my watch."
Episode 7x17

Liz: "Reddington wants to hand down his empire to me."
Ressler: "You seem surprised. What did you think, he was just gonna give it to charity?"
Liz: "I didn’t think about it, and I’m not going to accept it, but it’s a little odd that he would bring it up now. He found out I hired a PI to shadow Ilya Koslov."
Ressler: "So he knows that you know that’s not his real identity."
Liz: "Yeah, and instead of confronting me about it, he decided to try and hand down the keys to his kingdom, and there’s got to be a reason."
Ressler: "What about mortality?"
Liz: "His life is always in mortal danger."
Ressler: "Yeah, from criminals who don’t scare him. But this is different."
Liz: "What do you know?"
Ressler: "You remember when Reddington reconnected with Spalding Stark?"
Liz: "Yeah. You said that was for an investment purpose."
Ressler: "I told you what he asked me to tell you. But the truth is, when I was in Stark’s lab, I saw Reddington’s medical file."
Liz: "What did it say?"
Ressler: "I didn’t read it. But it was the size of a telephone book, and clearly he didn’t want me to see what was in it. I let it go, but if he’s thinking about his successor, my guess is that’s why."
