Annabella Sciorra: Michaela Belucci

Quotes 

• Raymond 'Red' Reddington : My guess would be that you had something important taken from you. More important than anything else. So now you right wrongs and avenge others who've had something taken from them.

  Michael : If you know that's what I'm doing, why would you stop it?

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Order. Harmony. Balancing the scales. So good is rewarded and evil is punished. Most of us want that. I know I certainly do. And if that's what you were doing here, I wouldn't interrupt.

  Michael : [Pointing towards William Green]  You know who this man is? Do you know what Huntley did to this man?

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Yes, and it's abhorrent. But I also know what else he's done.

  Michael : He as much as murdered this man.

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Perhaps. But he also paid for a pediatric clinic that's in the business of saving children's lives. He's contributed to research that has eliminated certain deadly childhood diseases that have afflicted poor children around the world.

  Michael : That man is no saint.

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : No, he's not. He's a sinner. But you think that's all he is. In your binary world, that's all you see, so when you do your math, the answer you come to is that he deserves to die. My math is different.
