The Blacklist Season 2 quotes

Life is far too important to talk about seriously.

People love to decry big brother the NSA, the government listening in on their most private lives, yet they all willingly go online and hand over the most intimate details of those lives - to big data.

Elizabeth Keen

Most people don't care that Google knows their search history.

They know more than that. They know your habits, the banks you use, the pills you pop, the men or women you sleep with. Every piece of information is worth something to somebody. And in the hands of the wrong person, that could be deadly.

Elizabeth Keen

You have a lead.

Lord Baltimore is in town.

Elizabeth Keen

Lord Baltimore?

He's a tracker by trade, but his methods are thoroughly modern. He's made an art of combing through cyberspace, finding the status updates, financial records, and location blips that virtually everyone leaves behind in the modern age.

Elizabeth Keen

And he has a new target?

Yes. Me.

Samar Navabi

Who is it exactly that you think I am?

[realizing] You're Mossad. Please don't tell me this is about that little dust-up in Haifa.

Samar Navabi

That "dust-up" claimed the lives of two agents and a Turkish diplomat.

[laughs] A diplomat? - I had nothing to do with it.

Samar Navabi

Then you have nothing to worry about.

Oh, you have no idea how I wish that were true. I have tens of thousands of things to worry about. Fortunately, you, my dear, are not one of them.

Samar Navabi

And why is that?

Because the person you just informed of my capture is going to release me within the hour.

Samar Navabi

Aren't we confident today?

I'm confident every day.

Samar Navabi

And I thought we had nothing in common.

Ah, Mr. Reddington, I presume.

Where is she?

Oh, here and there, out and about. You know women. I can only imagine how dearly you must be missing her after all these years, huh? So I made you a little something to remember her by. You see I'm gonna do to your wife what you did to my daughter. I'm gonna send her back to you piece by piece by piece.

Harold Cooper

What you're telling me is we have totally lost control of the situation. Reddington and the witness are gone. Berlin: gone. Red's wife: gone. Can any of you tell me one thing that we've got going for us at this point?!

Coffee machine still works.

Revenge isn't a passion. It's a disease that eats at your mind and poisons your soul. I attended summer camp with this little stick of a girl Twila Stansberry. Hell of an athlete, capture the flag. Had an unrelenting passion for fitness. Never skinny enough. A pound here, a pound there. Ran like a deer. Until she couldn't could barely walk. Turns out she was anorexic. The disease caused her to lose her sight. I've never known anyone more obsessed with their body than Twila. Spent her entire life chasing something that destroyed her. Make sure your passion isn't your sickness.

Your wife is coming apart nicely.

I almost gave up looking for you. You were like a ghost for 12 years. Heard rumors. And I followed them from Barcelona to Melbourne to Stockholm, but always nothing. Until one day I made a connection: Elizabeth Keen. That's why we're sitting here today...because of Keen. I know you care for her as much as you care for your wife. I think underneath it all, under that hat of yours, you're not much different from, uh, Twila Stansberry. You have the power to destroy me, but you're offering me a way out because you're blinded by passion. Guess we both are.

You know what? I don't have time! And yet you've had me waiting out there for over 45 minutes! Do you know the vending machine is broken? It's as if you enjoy making people miserable!

I work at the DMV!

You two out here playing grab-ass in the woods just smacks of something biblical.

Who the hell are you?

I'm the snake in the grass.

George Orwell wrote, "Those who abjure violence can do so only because others are committing violence on their behalf." What a visionary, but, Good Lord, his books are a downer.

If you think your beloved brother was just another faceless young man in that crowd you know nothing.

Samar Navabi

I will kill you.

Like Kian Nouri? The scientist you murdered last week in Dubai?

Samar Navabi

What do you know about my brother?

There's no country insisting you do your duty. If you kill me, it'll be cold-blooded murder. So, call the Mossad or the C.I.A. or whoever's coming and be done with it.

You violated our agreement.

No. I honored it. I got the others to hold off, but Milos Kirchhoff, Berlin, whatever the hell name he's using He chewed through the leash. I couldn't stop him.

Well, now your dog is tracking a new scent. Yours.

Do you have a wife, kids? That's what makes it the hardest. A wife and kids. I've been in the intelligence field a long time now. On my orders, 763 men and women have died in service to their country. And there wasn't a grieving wife or mother or husband I didn't either call or visit personally. Thank them for their sacrifice. That's what makes it the hardest. The families. You can't disarm it, can you?

Sir, I asked you to be as still as possible.

That's more than enough. I'm not gonna make it 764. What's your name?

Mike. My name's Mike.

Go home, Mike. You've done everything you can.

I remember the parades from when I was a young boy, standing by my father, seeing those trucks that went by with the rockets and cannons. Beautiful. And all those men marching as one, saluting at me as one. Our soldiers, our nation. Yuri Gargarin was the first man in space. We were so proud.

I want to speak to somebody with real authority.

Harold Cooper

This is Harold Cooper, Assistant Director for the FBI.

Hello, Harold Cooper. I'm pretty sure you see how this works. I get what I need, or somebody dies. From here on forward I am the warden.
