The Motherboard (The Blacklist x Scorpion)

31. A Blacklist

Blacksite, 18.29

"I got something." Walter been working full for hours and now finally get a number. Harold walks down from his office to see what Walter has found. "I find a number. Using every informations agent Mojtabai gave me and tailored them. The number was registered as Brody Wrigth."
"Who the hell is Brody Wrigth?" Aram shows a voice recording that could show a match between Brody and Patrick. "Apparently, Brody Wrigth, is in fact, Patrick Jane."
"Can you trace the phone?"
"I can, but from the active pattern of his signal, it's usually gonna be disappear after he enter this region. It's more likely he lived in a very remote area. Just a little bit at the edge of Zermatt."
"Can you find him, both of you?" Walter scratch his head, "We could, but soon as he enter the no signal area, he's gone. The best possible thing we could do is hold him on that area. He's currently is in a market." Harold takes his phone, "Give me the number."
"Wait, you don't think to call him, right? Mr. Cooper? What if he runs away?"
"Do I look like I'm joking? This man is in danger, along with the asset."
"I'm sorry to cut you two," Walter jumps in, "..but who is this asset anyway? And how accurate is your source?"
"My source was proven very accurate. And the asset...is something that could shake the stability of every government."
"I'm not giving you any number. Not until you told me what's me and my team are getting into.
"Mr. O'Brien, this is a very critical time, I need to..."
"Tell me. I know this whole tracking thing is illegal. And you're with the FBI. What is the case?"
Harold looks at Aram, signaling him to tell Walter. "Walter, our source is Raymond Reddington. You probably know him."
"What? You're kidding me??? He owns you all?"
"No, that's not it. He's our informant for years. This case....is the most important one. It became personal to him."
"No, wait. The asset....is it..."
"Alice Reddington, you know her as Morgan Stefensson." He's frozen for awhile. "Walter, I need you to gave the number to Mr. Cooper." Without talking, he put the number on the big screen and left the room, meeting the rest of his team who are downstairs. He feels betrayed by these people.

Harold dial the number and someone pick up. "Hello? Who's this?"
"Patrick. I need you to listen to me. Are you with Alice right now?"
"Mr. Cooper? How do you...wait, I don't know what you're talking about."
"Listen Patrick. You two are in danger. The Crimson Prime is still looking for her. I know you ran away with her because you two thought that you can have a normal life, but this isn't about take her away from you. It's about saving two of you. Now, is she there with you?"
"No. But if you're right... I gotta go..."
"No! You stay where you are, my man are getting there to find you."
"I can't, if the FBI can find me... It means her plan has flaws. They will find her first. I had to go to get her."
"Patrick! Hey, Jane?" He hung up, Cooper worries something is happening right now.

"Aram. Look for any information in that area. We need to locate the house. Fast!" He goes to his office and shut the door.

"Reddington."
"Yes Harold? I'm still on my plane, you have to wait for me to...."
"We found him. He's in Zermatt. I called him, he said that if I can find him, it means her plans has flaws and they'll get her first. He sounded really scared. I know you can go there faster than me."
"Text me when you have the exact address. I'll be there soon."

"Sir? You see this?"
"Oh my God, is it true?"
"Definitely."
"If that so....They're already there. I'm sure they are. They're ahead of us. Tell Reddington it's gonna be dangerous."

"I got your text Harold."
"I know, but this is something else."
"What?"
"I'm positive they're already there."
"And why is that?"
"Did you ever call Patrick before we did?" Reddington didn't answer. "Reddington?"
"Why? I never did th...."
"They tapped on you. Now answer me, did you called him?"
"Once, but he didn't pick up and I can't track him. That's why I need Aram and Walter to get together on his cellphone."
"Yet you never told us you already got his number? What the hell were you thinking? I prayed they haven't tracked his number before us. Because if they did, it would be on you."

"Sir?!" Aram suddenly shouting from his desk. "Hold on Red. Yes Aram?"
"The transmission. It was using his laptop."
"What? No way. That kid will never betrayed her."
"Exactly. He's too smart to leave a trace. Somebody used his laptop."

"Harold you better tell me. I hear what Aram said. Who's the guy you're talking about?"
"Reddington, it's Walter's laptop. But Aram is sure if Walter is going to do that, he would never leave a trace."
"I'll be in touch."
"Reddington! Reddington!" He cut off the call, Harold is afraid that Red is gonna kill Walter for something that he didn't do.

Hangar, 21.12

Meanwhile, Walter and the team goes to Cabe who's able to secure a private plane for them. "Lucky me I got friends. They said we can use the plane."
"Thanks Cabe. Happy? Go with Cabe, pilot seat. Toby, we need to prepare for the worst case. You're the doctor. Sly, the odds of us getting there in time. Everyone got it?"

Walter goes back with Toby and start working on a plan. "As long as I want to trust him, I can't."
"Reddington?"
"Yeah. He got too much arms everywhere. This man is hideous." Just when they're talking about Reddington, he calls.

"I'm not gonna talking to you. You set us up into helping you to find Morgan. Through the FBI!"
"You need to listen to me. Who got access to your laptop?"
"What? No one. Not even Toby. I keep my laptop from everyone. Why the hell is this even relevant?"
"I called Patrick. Days ago. I got his number from a source of mine. And yes I set you up only because I can't track the number without your help. But somebody seems to betray my trust and tapped my phone, sent my call details into a laptop. Your laptop. The information then being sent from the very same laptop."
"What? No, I would never do such..." Walter is freezing as he remembers something that happened days ago. "O'Brien? Who got access?"
"No, you're gonna kill.....I can't...."
"If you tell me, I might spare that life. But if I find out myself..."
"Laila...she borrowed my laptop, told me she wants to watch a movie with me. She...." Walter almost cry but he tries to hold it together, ".....she said she wants to spend more time with me since we're gonna get married so....I open the access just so she can be sure that I trust her.... I'm sorry Red..... please don't kill her."
"She betrayed you."
"Red I love her."
"I know. But her betrayal could caused Morgan's death. The woman that you love as well."
"Red....." Before he can say anything further, Reddington cut the call.
