Liz and Ruddiger take off running, and Ressler and Park take off after them.
Park catches up with Liz first, who drops the Russian Knot as they come to blows.
Because, as it turns out, there is more than one way to tie this Russian Knot.

Liz calls Ressler and urgently tells him that Reddington is lying to them.
“I am not the enemy he is,” Liz tells Ressler.
“Pleaselet me prove it to you.”
Unfortunately for Ressler, Cooper secretly plans to apprehend Liz at said meeting.
But instead of spitting out a super-secret message, the machine just prints a long series of numbers.
At that moment, Liz glances up and spies a few very obvious undercover agents closing in on her.
She rips off the list of numbers, and takes off running.
They were decoys planted by Liz so she could sink into the background if she needed to.
And the exact same thing could be said for Reddington’s decoy billboard.
