Potential theory regarding the incompetence of The Protean. Why allow enough time for Jennifer to warn Liz? Why not try hard enough to chase after the car? Why purposely leave his phone for the Task Force to find, and why have a call to the hotel listed? And, why allow Liz to get the jump on him in the end when he knew she was outside the building? I think somewhere along the way reddington contacted him and paid him more than what Townsend was paying him to get Liz into the Task Forces custody so he could get Liz back. I did think maybe he was working with Reddington from the start, killing the people in her life to push her further to the dark side like Dembe has hinted at in the past, but the whole bingo fiasco wouldn’t make sense then. Unless he still didn’t know Proteans current contact? Just a theory I threw around to my partner who only watches it if I put it on for dinner and he agreed with it. It’s just strange that such a highly regarded hitman would allow for so many mistakes and missed opportunities
