We have finally come to the end of the road for Raymond Reddington and Task Force 836! It has been a long decade of catching criminals, guessing at Raymond's Identity but in the end does any of it matter if you were just trying to live the best life you possibly could? 

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Case Profile for Raymond Reddington

Hour 1 of the finale sees up playing the catch me if you can cat and mouse we expected coming out of last week's episode. Red is trying to flee the city but boat, by plane, by fire truck.  Yes Red does it once again and burns down yet another house so that he can jump a fire truck and get past the blockade setup by Hudson and Nixon.  He manages to make his way to a boat which he sinks in favor of a smaller boat to get him to Weecha, who then gets him to a plane for his trip to Spain.  Along the way Red also pays a visit to Paula Glenn's mom and picks up the skull of Islero the bull from the bath house.  Dembe gets arrested for tipping off Red at the airfield and in transport Red saves the day but not before Hudson shoots Dembe in the neck and Red shoots Hudson in the head.   

 Don't worry Dembe is fine in hour two, however he is fired from the FBI but no charges will be pressed against him.  Red now in Spain is tailed by Ressler thanks to quick thinking on Siya's part. Thank god she spent a whole two episodes with him to notice Islero the Bull skull missing from the bath house.  Red is clearly sick after transfusing blood to Dembe and his illness has returned.  He makes a call to Agnes to check on her to which Agnes says to red, "You're are such a mom!" Re replies, "I guess I can't help it." Confirmation once again that Red is Katarina.  Red then walks the countryside as he contemplates death, Ressler gets closer, but a bull much like Islero gets even closer first and kills Red. Ressler lands in the field to find Reddington's mangled body and he places Red's hat on his chest.  

Music For Raymond Reddington

A laundry list of music for you this week on the series finale. First we hear "Pendulum" from Pearl Jam - toward the end of hour 1  as dembe is transported for questioning after his arrest. Then as the shootout goes down we hear "Stay Alive" by Jose Gonzalez. When Red is sleeping in Spain there is a great track that we were not able to catch. "Familiar" by Nils Frahm plays while Reddington is walking to the market for some melons. When Dembe gives his final speech about what Reddington means to him as Reddington walks the countryside we hear "Knocking on Heavens Door" by RAIGN. Later, as he series moves into the final minutes, we see Red walking by a tree and climing a stone wall to the tune of "Tree" by TMBM. And at the very end we get "A Mi Manera (My Way)" by the Gipsy Kings as the camera pans aways and we cut to black on The Blacklist. 

You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.

Arthur Hudson finally has his smoking guy and taskforce 836 is about to be put to, well, task.  Hudson and team call a meeting with the Attorney General which leads to a summons for Cooper and Panabaker.  What happens next is what is a shock to many especially airplane pilots around the world!

Case Profile for Arthur Hudson

What does ice cream, a hacked meeting at the capitol, and an exploding plane have in common?  If you guessed Raymond Red Reddington you would be correct.  And that is just the tip of the iceberg this week as taskforce 836 is now under the purview of the AG and is being broken down piece by piece, agent by agent, file by file, screen by screen.  It is finally time to say goodbye to the post office once and for all.   Granted Red doesn't help matters when we goes off on the AG, and at the same time Cooper basically tells the AG flat out I did good work, I stand by it and I quit.     

 But it comes I am sure as no surprise to long time fans and watchers of this show that the AG doesn't give a crap about all this.  He only cares that his noes is clean. So he gives Cooper the ultimatum that we all feared.  Catch Raymond Reddington once and for all, or the whole team gets the book thrown at them.  Catching Red however will be harder than it looks as he fakes his own death in an airplane explosion, (did you really think he died?), only to be saved by Weecha and his pilot EDWARD? Yes Andrew McCarthy gets a cameo this week on the show.   Red pays one last visit to Cooper and leaves him with the parting words catch me... if you can.

There is no rest for the wicked especially when the wicked is Red. He assembles the league of wannabe FBI peeps and Ressler to inform Cooper and the team that a top secret report is about to be stolen and if successful, will put the entire world on the brink of Nuclear War.

Case Profile for Room 417

Red continues on his tour of dismantiling The Blacklist operations as he calls a group meeting at 4 in the morning to let the task force know that it is the end of the world as we know it, if what is about to go down actually goes down.  A top secret classified report about the US Nuclear Arsenal is about to be stolen and Red needs the task force to stop it.  Why?  Because if the FBI finds out who the theifs are they may just learn about room 417.  What is room 417 you may ask.  No it is not a secret torture room of some kind, however it is the outpost in the capital building for someone to spy on every room, chamber, office of the US capitol building.  All intel received is then relayed via FAX to a central location which receives similar intel from all over the world.   

Meanwhile Hudson leverages Ressler's pal Jonathan once again, this time to hack into Ressler's phone.  Super easy just get Ressler to unlock it, let you make a call from it, and use it for at least 5 minutes.   Thankfully for Jonathan and Hudson, Jonathan seems to be pretty good at this spy game.   Sadly for Ressler and the task force Hudson now has what he needs to bury the Task Force for treason. In the end it is because the tap produceds a conversation between Ressler Cooper and Dembe how this central location is one of the many intel sites for The Blacklist that routes the info back to Latvia.

Two warring families are being targeted by an assassin that is able to use your allergies against you. As the next generation of the families work with red to get to the bottom of the attack, Red works with the task force to find out what is really going on so he can make Agnes's recital in time.

Case Profile for Wormwood 

No one ever gets tired of a re-telling of Romeo and Juliet, especially Red who has always thought the greatest villain or enemy is love.  Red attends a meeting of two families who have been at war for decades in order to finally broker a peace between them as a new generation looks to take over.  Suddenly the heads of the family all start dropping dead from what appears to be poison in their drinks but turns out to be a toxin delivered via the china they ate off of that targets a persons allergies and makes them super sensitive.  Wormwood is the guy behind this toxin and he supplied it to one of the daughters of Family A, who wanted to take down the patriarchy so the war could end so she could be with her lover in Family B. 

Meanwhile Hudson finally brings Jonathan, Ressler's AA pal into his office to convince Jonathan to dig up intel on Ressler and the task force.  Jonathan is reluctant at first but is able to get enough information out of Ressler to confirm what Hudson has been saying, that Liz Keen and the task force have been influenced by Reddington.  That doesn't matter to Red though, nor does the toxin matter as he risks becoming infected in order to make the dance recital and see Agnes perform, yet again, swan lake.

Red continues his crazy ways by giving up one of the biggest fish to date to the task force in the Morgana Logistics Corporation. A network of real and fake companies that move goods and services all over the world. An organization so well run, you may even think Red was the head of the entire thing?

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Case Profile for The Morgana Logistics Corporation. 

In our main story this evening Red is visiting Agnes with some ballet gifts and talks with his soft and cuddly buddy Cooper about one of the biggest cases he has ever given the task force.  A company known as The Morgana Logistics Company, which looks so legit, no one has ever brought them down.  Turns out this organization even rivaled all the cells of SD6 and the 12 from Alias as they had operations all over the world.  Turns out in the end the whole thing was brougnt down by the GPS signals of a few rental cars.  Moral of the story, always use maps on your own phone.   In the end Morgana turns out was run by RED and he wanted to shut down the operation that benefited everyone, employees, leaders, the task force. But what did Red get in the end of the day other than a sad memory of a fantastic dyansty that was?

Meanwhile Hudson is like a dog on a bone and won't stop at anything to find out what the task force is up to.  He calls in an old FBI friend and learns about a secret meeting between 4 ADs of the FBI, one of them being Assistant Director Cooper.  Hudson shakes down another senator for some information and learns of a single name ZUMBA. This leads Hudson to the that random photo taken of Red and Dembe from a few episodes ago that appeared in the paper. That photo along with the name Zumba plus Cooper and Ressler's connections to Reddington just may end up seeing our Task Force days come to and end.

Not one, not two but THREE episodes are covered this week on The Blacklist Exposed as the show makes its final move of the series to Thursday nights in the states. It's a trifecta cast of epic proportions as we break down the last of the stand alone eps and the first of what looks to be our end game with Arthur Hudson. 

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Case Profile for The Trifecta Cast

The Nowhere Bride #192

The first of the three episodes focused on a woman who used her position working in a parole office to get parolees to fake woo women of international decent in order to steal their wedding dowries.  Through the course of the episode as the team is tracking down the theif, Siya is tracking down more clues about her mother.  When push comes to shove, Red fills in the final missing pieces that she was adopted by Meera because she rescued her during an operation and Nigel her parter was blackmailing her.  So Meera did what any parent would do to protect their child.  She took out, or at least didn't stop Nigel from being Murdered. 

The Hat Trick

We still don't know if Red is dying or retiring but he is definitely contemplating the future, the future of Agnes Keen that is.  Red gives Cooper three seemingly random cases to get the team working again in the wake of Arthur Hudson's inquiries.  Each of the cases puzzles the task force as non of the crimes are high profile killers, criminals, or theives.  They do however all sit on the same board of a charity that Red has his eye on and before he could make a sizable donatinon that would fund reasearch for years he has the team get the board memebers removed for their own personal crimes.   

Blair Foster #39

With the slyness feeling of one Ana McMahon (Season 6) Blair Foster is a high powered attorney for politicians, large corporations, you get the picture.  She is good and never loses, until today when she lost some information that made it's way to the FBI and put them on her trail.  But as all good lawyers do, she pleads a deal to get Congressman Dorf out of the way of the task force so Hudson is slowed down, but with her freedom, she seizes the opportunity to work with Hudson after all.

Siya is on babysitting duty this week to try and pry a case out of Red. Turns out she wants to know more about Agent Meera Malik and her past.  Red leverages an old stamp to lure out information that may just get Siya the answers she is looking for.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Case Profile for The Sicilian Error of Color

Arthur Hudson is still digging around to find out what the task force is about and it looks like he may have a new ally.  Senator Clayton Dorf likes tenacity and tactics just as much as he loves his Korean Barbecue.  The two agree to team up and our countdown to an Arthur Hudson showdown is on.  Speaking of showdowns, Red seems to be having a showdown of his own with either death or retirement as he offloads some of his most prize possessions this week including one stamp, The Sicilian Error of Color.  

  This stamp has been sought after by one Kathleen Sutton, the widow of former officer Nigel Sutton, who just so happened to be partnered up with deceased CIA agent Meera Malik and Siya's mother.  Regardless of biological status Siya still wants to learn more about her mother so she teams up with Red on Herbie's advice to dig more into the past, which allows Red to wax poetical this week about his down, as he contemplates his life, those lost, and the mark he wants to leave on his legacy.  

Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: Do you think Red is more Dying or Retiring? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278. 

Music For The Sicilian Error of Color

We start the show with Mira and Nigel waiting for a prisoner exchange as “Roads” from Portishead plays. “Black Steel” by Tricky plays as Meera steals cash from the CIA storage facility. Later, as Nigel dies and Kathleen shows Red a picture of him, “My Cell” by the Lumineers is heard. Finally “Lucky Man” by the Verve closes the episode as Siya gets the check from Nigel’s widow Kathleen Sutton.

Agnes is under the weather this week so Pinky pays her a visit with some movies and ice cream. While meeting with Agnes, Red receives a call from Dembe asking for his help to get Dr. Michael Abani out of custody in Yemen because Dembe needs a favor from an old friend, specifically the mother of Dembe's kid.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Case Profile for Dr. Michael Abani

We dig into a little backstory this week on one of our favorite characters, Dembe.  Many moons ago, Dembe was a young up and coming university student who had a love of fine wine and fine women, mostly the women since he did not not drink.  He also had a knack for being a criminal as he helped support his friend Raymond who had rescued him as a younger child. One day as Dembe is delivering a pack to a handoff, he meets the love of his life Aissa. One night Dembe frantically requests Aissa to leave with him and she let's Dembe know that she can't and is going to the states, but Dembe can't leave Raymond either and they part ways.  Years later Dembe returns only to find out that Aissa had a daughter, Isabella. Yep Dembe... you are the father. 

  Fast forward to today and Aissa is now preparing to web Dr. Michael Abani, but it turns up Abani was smuggling money and weapons to the rebels against the country of Yemen.  He is taken prisoner and Aissa realizes she can only turn to one person to save her fiancé.  Dembe.  Dembe then contants Red to see what he is able to do.  During the events they find out his partner John was the one doing the dirty work, setting up an account in Abani's name.  Red has a chat with the leaders of Yemen, turns over John, frees Abani, and gets a side deal in the process.  Dembe gets one last look at his long lost love as he begins to amend things with Red.   

Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: If you were Dembe, would you choose to go with Red or stay with your partner? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.

At the end of the episode as Dembe helps close the suitcase and Pops talks to Agnes we hear “Bless Me” by Moses Sumny.

A no numbered episode typically means some kind of big mythology reveal or information as the identity of one Raymond Red Reddington, especially one with a title like "The Man in the Hat". This week however it is a case of was he or wasn't he as Red stops at a convience store for some Peanut Chews.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Case Profile for The Man in the Hat

As Red's question to live free as a bird continues this season we find our Fedora wearing friend caught in a pickle as he makes a stop at a convienience store for some Goldenbergs Peanut Chews.  He was coming back from Phildelphia to New York after picking up a present for Agnes. Turns out this is one conveinence that became an inconvienience as a armed robber locked down the store and took hostages.  Dembe and Ressler arrive on the scene as they beleive Red was in the store at the time and wanted to get him to safety freely before the local law enforcement caught up to him.  In the end Red found a clever way to escape as always, and sent Agnes her gift as well as a bar of those delightful Peanut Chews.  

  Elsewhere Panabaker is hot and wants Reddington by the end of the day.  Cooper tasks Siya to make sure all their fiels and ducks are in a row pending an investgation from up the chain of command.  In doing so Siya is granted full acccess to the post office history including details of her mother.  Siya opens up the information and finds out more than she bargained for... she's adopted. Red does eventually confront Panabaker but in a strange move hands her the leverage Red had over her in the hopes that Panabaker would allow the task force to live to fight another day.

The Troll Farmer returns to spread disinformation in order to steal a secret computer virus that will hopefully help Wujing find the task force, take down Red, and build his empire.  However red has some duplicitive plans of his own!

Case Profile for The Troll Farmer Parts 2 & 3

Wujing is closing in on the proof he needs to prove Red is working with the FBI. So what does Red do? He hatches a plan so dastardly, so demonic, so dangerous that even I can't come up with more D words.  Instead of stopping Wujing from find proof, just give it to him.  Yep Red literally invites Wu Wu to the front door step of the task force the answers he seeks, or is it?   See red has been building something all year, a fake post office, complete carbon copy down to the last detail. The purpose to draw out Wujing, trap him, and end this war once and for all. 

  Meanwhile the team is concerned with their Reddington Archives and those are kept safe inside the post office, the real post office, and can only be accessed from onsite.  To gain access one would need a program to hack into the archives and that's where HEXROOT comes in.  A secret malware software buiilt by the US Government and now lost to the hands of Bo Chang, The Troll Farmer.   

  But this biggest twist of the episode isn't that Chang got the device, no.  It is that Change escaped from the fake post office so that the task force would think he would lead WuJing back there.  Instead Chang is working with Red the whole time, Red gives Change the real location, Wujing shows up as expected and Pop Pop go Wu Wu and his henchman thanks to bad ass Red we have all be waiting for.  Reddington then uses Hex Root to wipe the Archives and takes off effectively making him #1 on Cooper's hit list.

The Freelancer is back and has a list of mass casualty events on his docket but not to assassinate someone as his typical MO.  Why is he on the rampage and how does it tie into Wujing.  Plus if you are in New Jersey, say hi to Red on the turnkpike?!?!

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Case Profile for The Freelancer Part 2

Three weeks ago men from Wu-Wu's (yes that is what we are calling him forever now in honor of the late Robert Vesco) from Wujing's team met with a team of Mercs that helped out Marvin last season in his war with Red.  They won't join forces with Wu-Wu unless they have proof that Reddington has betrayed them and is working for the FBI.  So Wu-Wu calls upon The Freelancer to stage some high profile catastrophes in order to draw out Red and the Taskforce. A photographer that snapped a photo 6 years ago of Red, Dembe, and Rojellio is back and taking pictures of the task force arriving on the scene of Freelancer's handiwork, in order to get the proof Wu-Wu needs. 

  Meanwhile Ressler is one year sober and about to become a sponsor for a fellow in the same line of work he is. Red is traveling the New Jersey Turnpike picking up snacks for Agnes who apparently likes a boy at school.  Cooper never saw himself as a family man but is really becoming attached to Agnes, and Herbie pays a visit to the Post Office.

Music For The Freelancer Part 2

During the cold open this week as The Freelancer goes to work on the engine room of the ferry we hear “Time is Off” a collaboration by Flash Sendeic and Neoni. While the ladies are tending to the Egyptian cotton sheets as Red arrives at Rojellios place we hear “Rondo Alla Three” by David Stienberg. Finally as Ressler and Dembe question the 9th floor after the building fire we hear “Smile With Your Teeth” by the New Mystics. 

You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.

Vesco and Wujing are working together to find the task force's secret location.  To do so they need to break a specialist out of prison one Dr. Laken Perillos. Will she be able to extract the information required from the one man she was never able to break?  

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Case Profile for Dr. Laken Perillos

  Dr. Laken Perillos is back and she wants another crack at Dembe, the one person she was never able to break.  He just so happens to know where the task force secret location is and she knows either he will give it up or Red will come to save him and offer it up in exchange.  She was able to return thanks to one Robert Vesco, now working with Wujing (or is he) who sprung the Doctor from prison.  

  Meanwhile Dembe gets conned by one of his former associates which leads to his ultimate capture by Wujing, but the FBI arrives just in time to save Dembe from cardiac arrest thanks to one of Red's secret medical stations that the Task force now knows about.  In the end Wujing discovers that Robert is a mole planted by Red, and puts the final con over on Red's friend.  RIP Robert. We really enjoyed you on the show.

Case Profile for The Dockery Affair

  Judge Dockery has a knack for falling into the wrong cases across her bench.  First she took a case that put the dastardly criminal Paul Bruno Sr. into prison and then she took on a case for the death of a missing girl, Emma Moody, but the perpertrator Anton Johnston was released.  Normally these two cases would have nothing to do with each other, that is until Judge Dockery turns up dead.   

  All signs point to Paul Burno Jr. as being the one behind the murder thanks to a note left behind on Dockery's Computer screen but Herbie one of Red's Associates discovers that this is not an open and shut case.  Turns out that The Judge could not have left the note as she was paralyzed before her death, and the person behind that paralyization was one Anton Johnston.  See the Judge and Anton were having an affair after the trial, and during one romantic evening Dockery discovers Emma's neckalace in Johnston's nightstand drawer.  

  But what does this have to do with The Blacklist, well absolutely nothing so whiles Red has everyone running around he deals with this own problems as Wujing has informed Robert Vesco of Red's partnership with the FBI.  Vesco confronts Red about it, and Vesco returns to Wujing to being the plans to take down Reddington once and for all, or is Vesco a mole?

This week's show would be approved by Dom Torreto because it is all about family. A wealthy father passes away leaving his inheritance to his three triplet daughters, but not without a catch. They must learn to work together to solve a riddle revealing the passcode to the family fortune.  

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Case Profile for The Hyena

Robert Vesco is back and being pampered by Red in order to smooth over their relationship, and to convince Robert to join him on a little treasure hunt. The Pot of Gold is an encrypted digital wallet that can only be opened by retrieving the passcode, hidden in clues to a poem that was recited at the reading of the will of the late Warren Bostick. Turns out old Warren was tired of seeing his triplet daughters bicker and fight so he gave them each three clues that if the three of them worked together they could solve and claim the family fortune.

  As you would guess on of the triplets enlists the help of They Hyena to extract information from those closets to Warren including her sisters themselves. At the end of the day Red and Robert get the upper-hand on the Bostick heiress and claim the bitcoin bounty for themselves but not before leaving 1/3 of the spoils to the last remaining Bostick daughter.

  But all is not sacred in the now repaired bond between Red and Robert. A messenger from Wujing finds Robert now a free man and informs him that Red is the one that put him in Jail. If he would like to know the full story of Red's betrayal he should call Wujing for the answers.
