Disguised as painters, a group of gunmen rob the Warsaw branch of Monarch Douglas Bank, patronized by the worlds most nefarious criminals. While Reddington continues his search for Naomi, Naomi has a molar removed, which is dispatched to Red in a jewel box. When Red summons Liz to tell her about the bank robbery, hes enjoying a manicure from former trauma surgeon Rosa Heredia. Liz has confirmed that although Reds daughter Jennifer was placed in protective custody in 1990, shes been off the grid for the last seven years. Red redirects Liz to Monarch Douglas, which is under FBI jurisdiction, since its headquartered in the U.S. Although nothing seems to have been stolen, the FBI believes the records of criminal transactions must have been the robbers target. Liz and Ressler head to Poland, unaware that Samar Navabi is tracking their every move under Reds orders. In Poland, the agents are met by Agent Paul Salerno and bank EVP Matthew Strickland, who claim that $400,000 was stolen. Berlin calls Strickland, whos waiting on a cargo delivery from Mogadishu. He orders Strickland to meet him in New York to make things right. Strickland assures Berlin that his assets are protected by The Formula; he needs to be patient. Unaccustomed to patience, Berlin threatens Strickland to not screw up the process. After analyzing surveillance footage from outside the bank, the FBI deduces that the robbery was in fact the kidnapping of bank employee Kaja Tomczak, whose bank-owned apartment is rigged with cameras. The doorman reveals that Kaja was always accompanied by guards as a captive. The destroyed getaway van reveals but one clue, a blob jelly material which Red recognizes as a particular accelerant sold by Polish arms dealer and bakery owner Kassia. A team led by Liz and Ressler leads them to Tomczak, who was attempting to flee the country. Cooper dispatches them to a safe house, but Kaja knows that if the cops know where she is, so does Strickland. Kaja tells Ressler that she has hyperthymesia, a photographic memory that allows Kaja to store all the banks transaction records in her mind. Salerno turns on Ressler and Keen after being refused to turn Kaja over to authorities. Samar intervenes, saving Liz Ressler, and Kaja from a tactical team sent to capture Kaja. While Liz, Ressler, and Kaja escape authorities, Red orders Liz via phone to get to his old friend Kaspar Dubicki, who creates a diversion with a car bomb. Liz and Ressler load Kaja onto an old boxcar, which starts rolling. Kaja offers a dying declaration: Gonzalez Cargo, account number 924386. Shortly after Kajas declaration, the boxcar is stopped by Red. Red dispatches Kaja to his jet, and offers Liz and Ressler first-class tickets home, then calls Berlin to arrange a meeting at Coney Island. Red claims they have a common enemy - whoever told Berlin that Red killed his daughter. Moreover, Red has Kaja and all of Berlins money, which he can have back in exchange for Naomi. Berlin agrees, with a veiled warning: Red is blinded by his passion for Liz - who is just telling Cooper what Reds up to. Interrogating Heredia, Liz finds Kaja and calls Red with news that shes frozen the escrow accounts where hes parked Berlins cash. Red refuses to call off the deal, forcing Liz to change her mind, and Dembe trades the escrow account codes for Naomi, then drives her off into the night. Back at the FBI, Reven Wright tells Cooper to bury the case, and to give her all the Monarch account information stored in Kajas head. The next day, Cooper meets Samar in a park to review her file on Reddington, facilitating Samars recruitment into Reds employment.
