- Elizabeth Keen: What was his name?
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Gregory DeVry.
- Elizabeth Keen: Were you close?
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Gregory was a dear friend, and a brilliant grifter. He made a good living conning con men. Short of George Sanders, I can think of no one I'd rather have pretend to be me.
- Elizabeth Keen: But you killed him.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Gregory had terminal stomach cancer. So at his request, I euthanized him.
- Elizabeth Keen: You manufactured a doppleganger to reclaim your reputation.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: I have many contingency plans in place. This was one.
- Elizabeth Keen: Why not tell us?
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: The FBI would never permit me to do the very thing necessary to make the plan work: let everyone escape.
- Elizabeth Keen: So they could spread the word that we're not working together.
- Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Are we working together? The way you were talking before, I wasn't so sure.
