"Mr. Kaplan is one of the few characters that Red almost, almost relaxes with.
And you feel, almost could say anything to. I think there's, I think it's a feeling they confide in each other.
They know a lot about each other. I think they know a lot of each other's secrets.
And that is a bond. A really close bond I believe" - Susan

Mr. "Kate" Kaplan is a very mysterious woman. She has worked for Raymond Reddington for many years. She is Reddington's personal "cleaner" who comes in to scrub crime scenes. She helps Reddington clean up after he kills Diane Fowler. She also disposed the bodies of Lucy Brooks and the Cowboy after they are found by Reddington's people. Mr. Kaplan faked Liz's death with the knowledge and help of Liz, Tom and Nik to help Liz and her daughter escape Red's lifestyle. Red finds out that Mr. Kaplan faked Liz's death after an associate of him tells him that Mr. Kaplan made arrangements for Tom and Agnes to leave the country. Red demands that Mr. Kaplan tells him where Tom and Agnes are and tells her that Alexander Kirk is after them. Then Mr. Kaplan reveals that Liz is still alive and is with Tom and Agnes. She is shot in the head by Red but survives and is held hostage by an unknown man.
