A courier (Robert Knepper) is scheduled to deliver a valuable shipment to an Iranian spy.
Following a car chase, Elizabeth and Malik manage to arrest the courier, and they learn he has imprisoned Seth Nelson, an NSA analyst.
Red coerces the courier's contact, club owner Laurence Dechambou (Barbara Schulz), to help find him, and with that information Malik and Ressler eventually track the Courier and then kill him in self-defense.
[3] Jason Evans of The Wall Street Journal felt the episode "left [people] on a cliffhanger".
