Case Profile for The Russian Knot

Townsend, utterly disappointed at the failure in Kansas is at this wits end with Liz. \xa0He demands she do something to rectify the situation. \xa0Liz goes to her mother's storage locker to look into what might be a clue to bringing down Reddington. \xa0One thing she finds is a set of old Russian codes and seeks out an old Russian spy to decode them. \xa0He tells Liz the only way they can be decoded with a Russian Knot, a sophisticated typewriter that encodes a message on one and then the receiver can decode them on a separate Russian Knot on the other end. \xa0

Turns out there just happens to be a relic at a museum in Minsk and both Liz and the task force want it. \xa0 The Task force thinks they are decrypting a message from Townsend about Red, where Liz is trying to decrypt a message her mother had about Reddington. \xa0In the end The FBI is duped with a fake message and Liz finds the real message, using a Cyrillic alphabet, "It's time. Mobilize all assets."
