S03E06 — Body Burn

Flashback to what Rudy has been up to. Rudy escapes his hospital room in the immediate aftermath of the Season 2 shootout, faking his death and going underground for six months. He surfaces outside Providence, healing himself and building a map of the Boston network across motel walls. He tracks down an old Russo-era fence who gives him a name, then ambushes a Boston election-rig scheduler in a parking garage, records his full confession on a cheap digital recorder, and leaves him zip-tied in his own trunk. He visits Elena, just to see her face; they talk, and she decides not to report him. He calls Vincent on an old burner, tells him he is alive, and arranges to meet at the dock where Juan was executed. Rudy hands over the thumb drive and recordings and says it is for Rosalie and Juan. He burns his old IDs by the water and disappears into the dark.
