Wujing (No. 84) provides examples of:


  • Mercy Kill: Invoked. The titular villain accuses one of his mooks of being a traitor, then proceeds to give him a no holds barred beatdown. Reddington then shoots the mook and claims that he did it to spare him from more suffering, since Wujing was just going to beat him some more before he killed him. In actuality, the mook discovered the device that Reddington and Liz used to set him up, and was going to expose them to Wujing. Reddington killed him before he could say anything.
  • Multitasked Conversation: While Liz is setting up in Wujing's base, she communicates to Reddington via text on her computer screen. He, meanwhile, has a natural sounding conversation with the workers while asking questions to Liz indirectly.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Liz improvises a replacement for ballistic gel and has the FBI lab run a 9mm bullet and shell casing from the gun she test-fired. Not only does it confirm Cooper's suspicion that she's hiding something, but the gun, which was in Tom's cache, is connected to a homicide that's classified up to the level of the Secretary of Homeland Security.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Wujing's mooks are willing to threaten their target's young son in order to draw him out.
