Dialog / Memories between Kate and KR in Requiem.

This is more of my personal notes I have.  Scripts are nice, but sometimes I don't want to see everything. In this one I just wanted to see Mr. Kaplans memories and her conversation with red.
 I thought with all the conflicting memories we seam to have it would be good to put here. This is from The Requiem. 

KR,  Kathryn Nemec. Your references are outstanding.
  Fluent in Italian, French, German, and Russian. (English)
  Most of your charges appear to have been in various diplomatic corps.

K,  I enjoy travel.

KR,  You attended medical school at Northwestern, yet you decided not to continue.
 May I ask why?

K. Human anatomy was my Waterloo. - The cadavers..

KR, Yes. Gruesome.

K,  No. I found them compelling.
  Much more interesting than our living patients.
  I decided it will be healthier to reorient my efforts
  from the end of life to its beginning.

KR,  Thus a Master's degree in Child Development.

 K, There's no vocation more critical than raising a child.
  It's my belief one can't be overqualified.

KR, This job will not be without its challenges.
  I have no interest in abdicating my role as a mother.
  While I'm in this house, I will be responsible for
 tending to Masha's needs. You and Masha will join me
 whenever you can. There will be times I need to be unencumbered.

 K, So my primary duty will be to care for the child.

 KR, When I'm gone, yes.

 K, And while you're here?

KR,  You will have one job, and that is to discreetly
 observe our interactions. During my absences, I will
 expect you to provide a continuity of care.
  The way I dress her, hold her, change her, bathe her.
  You will be what I am to her with one exception.

 K, Yes?

 KR, You will not love her.

------------------------

KR,  How many children have you raised?

 K, I've seen seven children through their elementary years.
  Some of them siblings, of course.

KR,  What do you feel toward them now?

K,  Pride, mostly.  You want to know if I loved them?
  They were never mine to love.
  But I would've died for each and every one of them.

KR, What must a child do to earn this eternal devotion of yours?

K, Not much. Take Masha, for instance. We have a pact, she and I.
  Every time she takes a bottle from me or falls asleep
  in my arms, she's telling me that she trusts me completely.
  That is a profound gift.  I would do anything to protect your baby.

------------------------


K, Are you hurt?

KR, I'm fine. Alexander will be home. He can't see this.

K,  Go upstairs. Take a shower.

KR, While you do what?

K, Clean the mess. Go.

-------------------------


  K, Good morning.  Any problems?

 KR,  I considered killing you last night.

 K, Why didn't you?

 KR,  What you saw, it's more than Alexander or anyone knows about me,
  except the people I work for.

  Soviet Intelligence?
  There were some documents
  on the man--

  Where's the body?

  In the woods.

  Kate, there are specific ways

  Sealed him in plastic wrap after I exsanguinated the corpse in the tulip garden to speed
 the rate of decay. I buried the rest below the frost line so that the grave won't heave open
  during the freeze and thaw cycles.

Never expected to have this conversation with you.
 What you saw last night, You might see other things, too.

  I told you. I have a pact with your daughter. I will do everything in my power
 to keep her safe. And her mother.

---------------------------------

 KR, Do you wanna ask me something, Kate?

 K, None of my business.

 KR, I'm sorry to put you in that uncomfortable position,
  especially with Masha.

 K, Is he American?

 KR, He's an assignment. Was an assignment.
  I don't know what he is. He's married.

 K, Is it serious?

 KR, Yes. It's frivolous, exciting, dangerous.

 K, Do you love him?

 KR, I don't know about love, Kate.
  In my job the only one I know I love is Masha.

 K, Then you should end it with the American.


--------------------------------


 K, What happened?

 KR, Masha was abducted.

 K, What?!

 KR, A man was seen carrying her off the campus. A blond man.

 K, The American?

  KR,I started pulling away. We couldn't continue the way we were.
  He didn't take it well.

 K, So what he, he, he stole Masha to hurt you?

 KR, No, that's not it. He thinks she's his.

 , Is she?

  KR, I don't know, Kate. I never found out.
    I didn't want to. It didn't matter.
    I was never gonna end up with Raymond.

 K, Did you give the police his name?

 KR, Never. It'd put Masha in danger-- even more danger.
    I know where he's taking her. Home to America. I'm gonna have to find her on my own.

  K, Not on your own.


--------------------------------------

Fire night,
 

 Firefighters are gathering and continue to battlea 3-alarm blaze that occurred at a residence Downtown.
 The cause is unknown at this time, and we'll keep you updated as the story unfolds.


 K, Oh, my God! Are you okay? You two okay?

 KR,  There was a fire.---- Too Many People.
 There was Shouting and Fighting. And Masha

 K, What?
 
 KR, Listen, carefully, you stay here with Masha. Speak to no one.
  Do not answer the door or the telephone. Don't go out unless you absolutely have to.

 K, You're hurt,

 KR, Listen. When it's safe, I'll call with instructions.
  I'll ring once, hang up, and call back. Understand?

 K, You'll ring once, call back.
 
 KR, Lock the door behind me.

----------------------------


 K, Do you have any 4s?

 K, In English, please.

 M, Go fish.

 K, I ask you if you had kings, and you said no! You little sneak!

 M, No!
 
 M, Do you love me, Nyanya?
 
 K, Yes.

 M, I miss Mama.

 K,  Me, too.

 K, She is working very hard to find us a new place to live.
  And then we'll all be together again.
 

---------------------- 
 
 K,  Where are you?

 KR, I don't know. Pay phone.

 K, You need to come back for your daughter.
  It's been over a week.

 KR, I can't. The KGB uncovered my affair with Raymond,
  which means US Intelligence knows as well.
  Both sides are tracking me down. I have to leave the country. It'll be weeks before I can
 come for Masha.

 K, Masha can't stay in a hotel that long. She needs a home.
  I can take her to my sister in Chicago.

 KR, No. You're the family nanny. You're a person of interest.
  They'll track you. You have to leave Masha with someone unconnected, who I can trust.
  I want you to get in touch with Sam Milhoan. He's listed. Kearney, Nebraska.

 K, Leave Masha?

 KR, You must.

-----------------------------------------


 K, Katarina.

 KR, Kate, I'm so sorry.

 K, I'm going crazy in this place.

 KR, I know.

 K, So when are you coming back for Masha?

 KR, I can't. I'm going away.

 K, What? What about Masha?  Masha's still with Sam, and he's not..

 K, Listen, I can go there. I can take care of her. I--

 KR, No. She won't be safe with you. You know that. You you have to disappear yourself, Kate.
  There's nothing more you can do for me or for Masha.  I'm begging you Kate, walk away.
  You know how much I love her.

 K, I do.

 KR, You'll walk away, then.

 K, Yes.

 KR, I love you, Kate.

Everett Oldfield. August 11, 2006.
 Died of blunt force trauma to the right temple.
 Knee surgery scar a likely ACL reconstruction, left leg.
 Wedding ring, left hand. Simple gold band, inscription,"All my love"


--------------------------------------------


What are you doing here? Is it Elizabeth? Did something happen?

 No, no, no.

 Is she hurt?

 Nothing happened.

 Then what are you doing here?

  Someone wants to see you. Asked me to come to you.

  Raymond Reddington. That man set off a chain reaction that took
 everything I loved from me. And not just me. He turned his back on his family,
  his country. And for what? A life of crime? He's a traitor.
  I have nothing to say to him, and I don't wanna hear anything he has to say to me.

  Yes, you do. Lizzy is fine, now.
  But Red says she's in danger.

  What kind of danger?

  You'd have to ask him. And there's something he wants to ask you.

------------------------


 K,  Work for you?  I don't know you.

 R, I'm not as unknown as you might like to believe, Ms. Nemec.
  We shared the affection of Katarina.  We have a common bond in Elizabeth. I presume your love for the child abides.
  After Katarina's sudden departure,  I felt a responsibility to watch over the girl
  from a distance.  I've provided for her and Sam financially.

  I'm surprised you found the time,
  between selling illegal services or ordering hits on anyone who got in your way.

  I make no apologies for who I am or what I do.
  Katarina was a traitor to two countries, both global superpowers.
  God willing, Katarina's daughter will live a private life of quiet courage.
  But if anyone learns her identity, the only way I can stop the threats
 from rising is to rise up as a greater threat than all of them.

 So you want me to join you in organized crime to protect Elizabeth.

  Yes, Kate. Help me protect
 the girl we love.

 And what do I have that you could possibly want?
  A trusted voice. A cool head. Undaunted initiative in a messy situation.
  All the things that you gave to Elizabeth's mother.

  If you ever put me in a position where I have to choose between
 what's best for you and what's best for her, I will choose Elizabeth every time.

  Yes. I would insist on that.


----------------------------------


After the cellphone beeps,

  Assistant Director Harold Cooper just arrived at headquarters.
  Now would be a good time to move.

  You can't just stroll into her life after all these years.
  This is a mistake

  I'm aware of your feelings, Kate.

  Raymond, stop. The instant you walk through that door,
  the damage will be done. You'll destroy her innocence,
  everything we've been fighting to be preserve. You'll never undo it.

  As I feared would happen, elements from Katarina's past are circling Elizabeth like
 a pack of wolves in the night. I put Tom Keen in her life to keep an eye on her, and he married her.

  This isn't about Tom Keen. It's about your need for control.

  Indeed, I need to control the danger to Elizabeth.
  I've built a vast criminal network predicated on that very principal.
  It's time to live up to my mission statement.


-------------------------------------


  Must be good to be home again, sir.

  Yeah. Well, we'll see about that.

  He'll be fine. He's in FBI custody. What's the worst that could happen?

----------------------------------------

I've been thinking about you.

  Happy thoughts?

  I realize now I was so wrapped up in helping you build your empire, I lost sight of why I joined you
 in the first place. Somewhere along the way, I stopped serving Liz's needs to enable yours.

  They're one and the same. They always have been.
  What we've done, we've done for her.

  I believe that, Raymond. Like a Pied Piper, you made me believe. But when I did what I thought
 was best for her..

  It wasn't best. You almost got her killed, and you betrayed me.

 No.  I kept my word to you. When you hired me, you told me to choose Elizabeth over you.
  And so I tried to help her disappear to a safe place with her newborn daughter.
  And for that, you put me down like a mad dog.

  For the last Two Decades of my life, you had me convinced I was helping keep Elizabeth safe.
  But in reality, I was helping you become a monster.


It's time for us to meet and talk.

  No, Raymond. I'm gonna do what I should've done years ago.
  I took a bullet to my head, but I remember what my father taught me.
  Our stories are written in flesh. And I'm gonna use that lesson to render you powerless.

  Are you familiar with Master James of St. George?  Favored architect of Edward I. You know why?
  Concentric construction.
  He literally built castles within castles. Impossible to penetrate.
  You could breach the outer wall only to be faced with a heavily fortified gatehouse
 and barbican  and a high inner wall lined with archers. Pity the poor foot soldier who made it that far.
 The architecture of my organization has risen stone by stone over decades. You can't get inside to hurt me, Kate.

  You forget I was by your side the Whole time. I know what was required to amass your power, who you hurt, who you betrayed,
 who you killed. More importantly, as your cleaner, I know where the bodies are buried.
 Were buried, dearie.

  You've been busy.

Re: Dialog / Memories between Kate and KR in Requiem.

​There are a few things that have bugged me and I didn't know if anyone else had thought about it.
We have spoken before wondering if Kate was placed in KR's life to keep an eye on Liz
or even KR.  What I do Not remember talking about is when Kate is talking to KR about she did with the body of the man which was Seal Him in Plastic Wrap. Who has that much shrink wrap?  Is it me? 


 When Kate and Masha were playing cards she asked her if she had 4's then said she asked for kings?
Did I miss something here? 


This part I think could clear up what Liz was told to her by Velov.  I do think that he could have lied and the picture was planted because it seams like the last thing she would leave was a picture that would show what Masha looked like.  When KR leaves them, the first time she calls, Kate says its been over a week.
She says she has to leave the Country and it will be weeks before she can come for her and
to take her to Sams. 
 She calls again and says she can't come back for her that she is going away.
Kate offers to go to Sams and KR tells her NO! 
She was begging her to walk away.
I was wondering if she had been to try to get Masha back and found out Liz didn't know who she was, she was threatened and was afraid of Kate going after her that she would be too? 

​In the beginning we see a strong woman. At the end of this and in the Cape May episode we see KR is afraid, jumpy, weak and does seam broken.  It does seam to match what Red said about her when he saw Liz in the pilot.

Re: Dialog / Memories between Kate and KR in Requiem.

Eastcoast - that reference to plastic made me think of that scene with The Cook, where he has wrapped his victim in plastic.  No idea if it means anything....

I don't remember the specifics of the card game, except they were playing Go Fish, I think

I don't think KR tried to get Masha from Sam's.  She was being followed I think and her main objective was for the key people previously in Masha's life to drop out so that no one would find Masha.  

although there is a deleted scene where Kate does go back to see Masha at Sam's.  It wasn't clear to me how much time had passed.  Sam does not let her see Masha, her name was by then Elizabeth.  I don't know if we can rely on that scene for anything.  I think it may have been cut precisely because everyone was supposed to stay far away from Masha.  It didn't make sense that Kate would go back, maybe that's why the scene ultimately wasn't used.

I never knew what to make of the Velov snapshot letter.  It could have been a plant to throw people off her track, who knows.

IF KR said she was leaving the country, in Requiem, its possible that's when she went to Prague.  I don't know, I got the impression that the Prague trip, if it took place, was later, maybe a year or a few years later because it seemed to me that Velov was on her trail for a while, not right after the fire.  Maybe that's incorrect - maybe someone else has another view.  

It is perplexing because then KR calls for the last time from Cape May.  I kind of assumed if she left the country, it was after faking her death; or she never left at all, again after either faking her death or committing suicide, insofar as we know what may have happened to her.

Re: Dialog / Memories between Kate and KR in Requiem.

lara, I was just thinking she had told Kate she was leaving the country before the last call and that she may have left and saw she was getting cornered.  
Over a week to go......
