Episode 2x08

Red: "There's nothing wrong with you."
Episode 2x08
Red: "What the hell are you doing here?"
Liz: " I came to help get you out."
Red: "You came out of curiousity."

Episode 2x09
Liz: "What is he after?"
Red: "The Fulcrum."
Liz: "I don't know what that is. The Fulcrum. What is that?"
Red: "It' s a blackmail file. Proof of the existence of an extraordinarily, powerful clandestine organization.
If their activities are made public, some of the most powerful and influential men would go to prison or be executed."
Liz: "And it's here? This Fulcrum?"
Red: "No, the Fulrum isn't here but I believe information critical to finding it is.
And that's what Braxton wants. But I am here to stop him."
Liz: "I can help you."
Red: "No. You need to leave."
Liz: "Ressler and Samar have been taken hostage."
Red: "They shouldn't even be here. You never should have come here."
Liz: "Why didn't you come to us? What aren't you telling me? Why don't you want me here?"
Red: "I'll get to Ressler and Samar as soon as I can but you need to get back on that chopper."
Liz: "Not without Ressler and Samar or you. Now how are we gonna stop Braxton? He has an entire team."
Red: "Well sadly there isn't a prison on earth where I don't know a few guys."
Episode 2x09
Liz: "So that's what this is about. This whole thing. Protecting yourself?"
Red: "Maybe hard for you to imagine but I once had a relatively normal life. Bills to pay.
Playdates. Family. Some friends. People to care about. Lost all that."
Liz: "Lost how?"
Red: "In Mexico, there are these fish that have colonized the freshwater caves along Sierra del Abra.
They were lost. They found themselves living in complete darkness.
But they didn’t die. Instead, they thrived. They adapted.
They lost their pigmentation, their sight, eventually even their eyes.
With survival, they became hideous. I’ve rarely thought about what I once was.
But I wonder if a ray of light were to make it into the cave, would I be able to see it? Or feel it?
Would I gravitate to its warmth? And if I did, would I become less hideous?”
Episode 2x09
Liz: "You were there. Weren't you?"
Red: "Yes."
Liz: "There were people with a woman looking for it. The Fulcrum. You were one of them."
Red: "It's not that simple."
Liz: "But that's why you were there? That's why you came into my life.
That's why you're here now. Not because of me. Who I am to you.
Whatever connection we might have but because of some object. Some thing."
Red: "Whatever you remember.."
Liz: "What I remember is leaving my father dying on the floor of a burning house.
There is no way he could have survived that."
Red: "Lizzie, the memories of a 4 year old are unreliable."
Liz: "My father was killed because of The Fulcrum. Because you and your people came for it that night.
Well I want you to know something. This charade, of you pretending to care about me.
It was a waist of your time, because I don't know where it is."
Episode 2x10
Red: "That's not how this works."
Liz: "I know exactly how this works. You lie. Say what you need to say to make me believe that you actually care."
Red: "That's not true."
Liz: "You're after The Fulcrum. It's why you are here. Not to help me or protect me or whatevers been your selling today.
Well I'm not buying it. From this point on, there is no reason for us to talk unless it's about the work."
Red: "Fine. Than let's work."
Episode 2x11
Liz: "What's this?"
Red: "A key. I bought you an apartment at the Audrey, top floor, splendid view of the Potomac."
Liz: "Why?"
Red: "It's time to leave the motel behind."
Liz: "I'm happy where I am. Thank you."
Red: "You've been many things lately, Lizzy, but happy is not one of them.
That motor lodge you call home crushes the spirit, smothers the soul."
Liz: "And you think a view is gonna change that?"
Red: "I once stayed at a villa in Bali with a view of the Indian Ocean.
Every morning, all I saw before me was possibility. That and a gorgeous housekeeper named Putu, who used to..."
Liz: "Thanks, but, no, thanks. I wish you'd stop."
Red: "Stop what?"
Liz: "Trying. Stop hoping things are gonna get better between us.
You and me, it's just business. That's all it's ever gonna be."
Episode 2x12
Red: "You all right?"
Liz: "Yeah. Fine."
Red: "What were you thinking running after a killer alone without backup?"
Liz: "Are you scolding me?"
Red: "Yes. Yes, I'm scolding you. That was foolish, Lizzy. You could have been..."
Liz: "Killed?"
Red: "Exactly that. Killed."
Liz: "What are you gonna do? Ground me? Take away my phone privileges?"
Red: "You were right about The Deer Hunter. He was a man."
Liz: "And a woman. We were both half right."
Red: "Together, we were right."
Liz: "I have the Fulcrum. Tell me what it is, and I'll tell you where to find it."
Red: "I've already told you what I can. To elaborate would place you in grave danger."
Liz: "I don't need your protection."
Red: "Oh, I think you do. If it weren't for me, you would have been indicted today.
As it is, you needn't worry about the harbormaster any more."
Liz: "What did you do?"
Red: "Nobody was hurt, if that's what you're concerned about.
In fact, a young man's life was saved."
Liz: "I don't want to hear any more. I'm leaving."
Red: "I believe I know the real reason you don't want me to have the Fulcrum."
Liz: "That is?"
Red: "Because you're afraid that once you give it to me,
you'll be of no further use to me and you'll never see me again."
Episode 2x13
Liz: "We have to get these people out of here. How do you open this thing?"
Red: "Lizzie, you need to go."
Liz: "Damn it! What's the code?"
Red: "Listen to me. I was brought in through a series of tunnels that way.
If you hurry, you'll be miles away before they ever realize you're gone. Take the boy and go."
Liz: "You could be killed."
Red: "Lizzie, you did everything you could. It's time to go. Go."
Episode 2x14
Red: "You can never do that again."
Liz: "You're welcome."
Red: "I'm serious. You can never do that again. Promise me."
Liz: "We took down dozens of wanted criminals, recovered millions of dollars in stolen property, and saved innocent lives."
Red: "I'm not talking about that."
Liz: "You. You're talking about you. Wow. You are so damaged.
You can't accept help from anyone. Has anyone ever helped you?
Is that why you are the way you are? Because you don't feel deserving of it?
Is that why you can't be vulnerable for a second? I risked my life for you because I care about you. Deal with that.
And when someone does something nice, you're supposed to say, "Thank you.""
Red: "Thank you."
Liz: "You're welcome."
Red: "But never do it again."
Episode 2x14
Liz: "What are you doing?"
Red: "Whatever it takes to keep you safe."
Liz: "Finding Tom will not keep me safe. I lied to the court."
Red: "We can handle the perjury count. It's the murder charge I'd like to avoid."
Liz: "How? Judge Denner's right. I covered it up. At the very least, I'm an accessory after the fact."
Red: "Listen to me. Juries care about intent. You didn't intend to kill the harbormaster.
That was Tom's decision. Right now, that judge may think you're guilty, and it's not easy to
let a cold-blooded killer go free, even in the name of national security.
But a cold-blooded killer you are not. If we can prove Tom is responsible, it might just tip the scales."
Liz: "It's my fault. I never should have put him there.
He'll go to prison for the rest of his life because of me."
Red: "One step at a time, Lizzie."
Liz: "He's not gonna come back."
Red: "He will. This journey we're on isn't over just yet.
You may have given up on us, but I haven't."
Episode 2x16
Red: "Now I understand why you sold the apartment I gave you."
Liz: "Eugene Ames was 67 years old. The only reason he was still working was to get his daughter through college."
Red: "Be careful, Lizzie. Because the truth of it is, once you start down this road there's no logical place to stop.
You can see to her education, health insurance, housing.
You can watch her or have her watched, keep her safe, try to ascertain her hopes, dreams, desires.
Pull strings, call in favors to discreetly smooth the path.
And for the first few years, it may work. You'll draw some measure of virtue from being her invisible benefactor.
But that won't last. It's all a fraud. That it's really not about her at all.
That it's all about you. And you're just going through the motions to salve your own guilt. Look, all the money, all the time and effort,
all the favors in the world cannot possibly equal what you took away from her.
Everything else is just a nice gesture."
Liz: "You knew about Tom. That if he came back they'd exonerate him to protect the task force.
He'd get his life back. You saved a man you hate to save me."
Episode 2x16
Liz: "What's this?"
Red: "You don't remember, do you?"
Liz: "What?"
Red: "The grapevines. The ones you and Sam harvested."
Liz: "Of course. I-I remember. Along the garden fence, we would pick.. Is this from.."
Red: "A bottle of wine you made with Sam when you were a child. Happy birthday, Lizzie.
You've become everything Sam dreamed you would and more. Share it with someone special.
That said, it's probably undrinkable by now, so I also brought you an '82 Brunello as a backup."
Liz: "31. No offense, but that's old."
Red: "My yogi tells me that time doesn't exist.
He fully intends to live forever, and tragically, he's not the only one."
Episode 2x17
Red: "He knew it was over, so he ended it. That's the truth."
Liz: "That's half the truth. I don't take anything you say at face value."
Episode 2x17
Red: "Perhaps I haven't made myself clear."
Liz: "I came home, and Tom was here."
Red: "He's back in your life."
Liz: "He is not in my life."
Red: "I understand what it's like to be drawn to something that is unhealthy, to a part of yourself that you are afraid of.
But I want you to remember what your life really was with him and imagine all that it could be without him."
Liz: "I don't have to imagine."
Episode 2x18
Red: "What's wrong?"
Liz: "I just spent the last 42 hours dealing with a man who is a lifelong habitual, pathological liar."
Red: "Tom."
Liz: "Yes. Tom.
Red: "Lizzie.."
Liz: "Don't give me advice. This man, this liar, he told me something. Something that I need you to confirm.
Now, before I ask, I want you to understand that I expect you to give me the dignity of a yes or a no. Do you understand?
Red: "Yes. I'm the one who hired Tom Keen to enter your life. Can I explain?"
Liz: "No. No, you cannot explain. Here. This is all you wanted. Now you have it."
Red: "Lizzie, when I hired Tom.."
Liz: "I said please do not attempt to explain why. I don't care why.
I just want this to stop. I want it all to stop, right now. Take it!"
Red: "Lizzie.. Lizzie!"
Episode 2x18
Red: "Lizzie."
Liz: "We've cleared a wing at Sibley Memorial for you and your medical team.
Cooper will oversee your security personally."
Red: "Lizzie , when I hired Tom Keen.."
Liz: "Don't. There's nothing you can say."
Red: "When I hired Tom Keen, it was at a time of profound transition in your life.
You'd already left behind the relative safety and innocence of youth.
Sam's care as a father had served you well, but you'd outgrown him.
A-and I knew that eventually my life would jeopardize yours.
So, in an admittedly presumptuous and ultimately futile effort to keep you safe,
I hired Tom simply to be there as a friend of a friend to look after you from an arm's length.
When I learned that your relationship had become intimate, I fired him.
I should've removed him, but you were already in love with him.
And Tom, he shifted his allegiance to Berlin in part to protect himself from me, but also because it allowed for
an inextricable intimacy and commitment to you.
And so you were married. And I couldn't stay away any longer.
A confluence of peril had entered your life, and I wanted to be within reach, to have influence.
I turned myself in to the FBI to point you toward a truth
that inevitably you would have to discover for yourself."
Liz: "Is that all of it?"
Red: "Some of it."
Liz: "Why couldn't you just have said yes?
It wouldn't kill you to lie just once to make someone feel good."
Episode 2x19
Liz: "Swanky digs."
Red: "Seeing as how you recently paid a visit to my apartment in Bethesda, you know I have a fondness for the old and somewhat decrepit."
Liz: "Dembe asked me to go. To get the interface for The Fulcrum."
Red: "He needed you to get The Fulcrum. He wanted you to discover secrets. Did you discover any secrets Lizzie?"
Episode 2x20
Red: "The girl is you. And the woman is your mother."
Liz: "What was her name?"
Red: "I knew her as Katarina Rostova. One of her many names. She was a KGB agent."
Liz: "The girl... The night of the fire, they called her..."
Red: "Masha. You were born in Moscow. Your parents, your father and...
They were both in foreign intelligence."
Liz: "You said she died of weakness and shame."
Red: "Yeah."
Liz: "You were there that night. I need to know what happened."
Red: "You want to know. There's a difference."
Liz: "Dr. Orchard told me someone blocked my memory of that night. Was it you?"
Red: "Yes."
Liz: "Why?"
Red: "I'm not going to tell you."
Liz: "You have a picture of my mother in your weird, little apartment. Why?
Were you in love with her? Is that why my father died?
You killed him because you were in love with my mother? Tell me what happened. Please."
Red: "I'm not gonna tell you what happened, Lizzy."
Liz: "Then I'll find out for myself."
Episode 2x20
Liz: "It's not enough for you to tell me that my mother was KGB and that I was born in Russia."
Red: "In truth, he works for the Cabal. They smuggled him into America
because they know if he commits an act of terror here, your government will blame Moscow."
Liz: "My mother and my father, who they are, what happened in the fire.. I'm gonna find out the truth."
Red: "I'm sure you will, Lizzie. But listen to me. The Cabal is orchestrating..."
Liz: "I get it. Te Cabal is trying to start another Cold War, and an act of terror committed
here is step one in making that happen. I am listening to what you are saying,
and I know that it's important, but it is no more important than what I am telling you
and I need you to listen to that."
Episode 2x21
Liz: "Hey, I gotta call you right back."
Red: "Lizzie, you need to get out of there now."
Liz: "Why? Where are you? What's going on?"
Red: "You've been set up. The Cabal is been asking about you Lizzie. They know who your mother was. You've been set up.
You were there when the Orea building was bommed. They wanted you to save Clifford Hawkins.
They sent Karakurt to the memorial to make you think he was the treat so you would secure the Senator and infect him in the process."
Liz: "But I don't have the virus."
Red: "You do Lizzie. I don't need a test to know that you do. Your mother was a Russian spy and now they made it look like you are to.
You have the virus. You infected the Senator and now they will come for you. You need to get out of there now!"
Episode 2x21
Liz: "I'm being framed."
Red: "Yes and by the end of the day they will identify you by name."
Liz: "Anyone could have infected Hawkins. He must have shaken dozens of hands at that memorial."
Red: "Within hours they will all have tested negative for the virus."
Liz: "You can't know that. This is insane."
Red: "Lizzie, you walked into the Director's office and played him The Fulcrum.
You are the enemy. They're crawling over every place you ever lived and worked.
Every file and hard drive like fire ants on a grasshopper."
Liz: "They won't find anything."
Red: "That will suit their purposes just fine. Anything they do find, they'll erase so they can say you destroyed evidence
to hide your involvment in the plot and when they eventually restore what few pieces they do want to be found, they will not be kind to you. You need to get out."
Liz: "If I run it will only make me look guilty. I'll be playing right in to their hands."
Red: "You are already in their hands. The only thing they haven't done is closed their fists. Go! Now! I will be there in three minutes."
Liz: "No. They can't prove I did anything wrong. They can call me a criminal but I am not gonna act like one."
Episode 2x22
Liz: "You got me out of the Post Office. You gave me a chance to prove my innocence.
I know you think you care about me. But every time you do something that makes me think you really do,
you do something else that reminds me that you simply aren't capable of it."
Red: "I'm a sin eater. I absorb the misdeeds of others, darkening my soul to keep theirs pure. That is what I'm capable of."
Liz: "What sin of mine could you possibly have absorbed?"
Red: "Andropov.. do you have a lead?"
Liz: "I do, and I'll handle it on my own, because that's what I'm capable of."
Episode 2x22
Liz: "I remember. I remember everything."
Red: "Remember what?"
Liz: "The night of the fire. I know what happened, and I understand why you didn't want me to find out.
When I pulled the trigger. When I shot Connolly, I... It came back to me.
It was like I was there. I could hear them arguing. He was hurting her.
And I know why my father died that night. I shot him.
That's why you blocked my memory. Not to protect yourself. To protect me."
Red: "Yeah."
Liz: "You're my sin eater."
Red: "Tried to be. But I failed. I never wanted you to be..."
Liz: "What?"
Red: "Like me."
Episode 2x22
