The Blacklist

Chapter 322: Solving the Problem and Reaching a Solution
After returning to the post office, Carrie called Donald, and Elizabeth took Kaplan to his office together. Reddington and Dembe were already waiting inside, and Gina had prepared tea.

When Reddington saw Kaplan coming in, the first thing he did was sigh, and he didn't know what to say.

Dembe walked up and hugged Kaplan.

Looking at these people who love and hate each other, Carrie and Donald were speechless. What a big deal!
After everyone sat down and drank tea, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Finally, it was Kerry who spoke first: "Okay, now that we are all sitting together, let's talk it out clearly to avoid killing each other!"

Reddington and Kaplan didn't know how to start. Dembe said, "K, we have analyzed it before. You have been fooled this time. That person can't be Katarina!"

Kaplan had been thinking about what Carrie had said the whole time. He had finally figured it out and said in a surprised tone, "This is my fault. I didn't expect someone to impersonate Katarina..."

Donald usually hates evil, but he is actually very kind-hearted. He said, "Well, although the previous events were not very good, they were not completely fruitless. We took the opportunity to solve many cases and catch many criminals!"

Kaplan thought of a question and said, "Will those 86 bodies cause a lot of trouble?"

"Don't worry, Lee has suppressed the matter." Elizabeth said.

At this time, Reddington finally spoke: "Okay, K, you don't have to blame yourself. Those people all deserved to die. There is no innocent person. It's good to expose the bodies, so that some backlog cases can be cleared."

Kaplan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Reddington, I have a question that I hope you can give me a clear answer to: Is Lizzie your daughter?"

Hearing this, Elizabeth, Gina, Demby, and Donald all looked at Reddington with concern. They also wanted to know the answer, but Carrie remained calm.

Reddington smiled bitterly and said, "K, to be honest, I really don't know! I thought you would know more about this." Seeing everyone's expressions, he added, "I feel it is, but I have never confirmed it because I am afraid it is not."

Everyone was speechless. Dembe couldn't help but ask, "K, you and Katarina have a special relationship. Didn't she tell you?"

Kaplan smiled bitterly, looked at Elizabeth, and decided to tell her, "You all know that Katarina was a KGB spy. She had a husband at the time, Konstantin Rostov. Later, she received a mission to get close to Reddington, but unexpectedly, both of them got involved...

"It was during that time that she became pregnant with Martha, but she wasn't sure whose child it was and she didn't go for a check-up because to her, it all looked the same!"

Everyone then thought of what happened before. Constantine, who used the alias Alexander Kirk, was once very sure that Elizabeth was his daughter, but after many DNA tests, it was confirmed that she was not. Doesn't that mean it must be Reddington!
Reddington asked in confusion: "Lee, I never understand, how do you know these secrets?"

Carrie said, "Since you said it's a secret, it must be kept secret!" "I think it's better to confirm it!" Kaplan suddenly said, "I can only rest assured if I can prove that Reddington is indeed Liz's father."

Everyone agreed with this. Carrie called Abby and asked her to take blood for testing...

As it turns out, there was no surprise that Reddington and Elizabeth are biological father and daughter!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the result. Although it had been basically confirmed before, the accurate DNA test made everyone feel more at ease.

At this time, Kaplan finally felt relieved. Regardless of whether the "Katrina" who gave her the order was real or fake, now that it was confirmed that Reddington was Liz's biological father, she no longer had to worry about him deliberately hurting her. This was very important.

Because of what happened before, Kaplan felt that she was no longer suitable to work with Reddington and was ready to leave, but Elizabeth, who knew their relationship, of course refused to let her leave!

Finally, Reddington said, "How about this, K, you are not young anymore, so don't get involved in the previous things. I have some legal assets that I want to transfer to Liz. Naturally, she can't show up for her current job, so you will be in charge of it for her; of course, you also have to take responsibility for protecting her.

"During this process, I have only one request - even if Katarina really comes to you in the future, you must follow Liz's will and protect Liz's interests!

"can you do it?"

"I can!" Kaplan said without hesitation. She knew that this was Reddington's kindness and the best arrangement at the moment, and it was what she wanted from the bottom of her heart!

"Pa pa..." Carrie took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit. This was of course the best result!
In general, although she had a lot of trouble because of Kaplan for a period of time, the final result was still good. But there is one thing, that is, there is no specific whereabouts of the fake Katarina who sent the message to her. If she wants to catch her, she can only find an opportunity in the future.
-
Over the weekend, Carrie and Gina accompanied Reddington, Elizabeth, and Kaplan to Alexandria, where they met Dom, who had moved to a safe house there.

Only then did Kaplan know that Katarina's father was still alive. He was very excited and happy for both Katarina and Elizabeth!

Dom was very happy to see his granddaughter coming to see him. He also heard that Kaplan was the nanny who took care of his daughter and granddaughter, and was very kind to her. He was also very polite to Carrie, Gina and Dembe, but he still didn't treat Reddington well!
Reddington had long been accustomed to this situation and did not take it as an offense. He let them chat on their own. He and Carrie sat aside drinking gin, smoking cigars, and discussing how to end the previous matters!

Speaking of which, the loss that Kaplan caused to Reddington this time was really not small, but Carrie told him: There is no construction without destruction. Since it has come to this, it is a good opportunity to reorganize the group's operating model, eliminate some inappropriate and seriously criminal businesses, speed up the business laundering, and hand over the clean group to Liz in the future.

Afterwards, Elizabeth and Kaplan teamed up to prepare an American dinner for everyone. Although the taste was average, everyone enjoyed the meal and opened two bottles of red wine. Except for Demby, everyone drank. Even old Dom clinked glasses with Reddington. This was a scene that none of them had thought of before!
