One Part Hit man, Two Parts Con: The Blacklist: "The Scimitar"


In this week's episode of "The Blacklist" Liz seems to be going rouge when it comes to finding Berlin by having Tom as her prisoner. Agent Navabi has some personal storyline in this episode. And Red gives a huge bomb at the end.

So where to begin? Agent Navabi was in Dubai, she meets someone actually come on to her and soon went up into his hotel room. Later as they go in, the guy is thrown out the window and on top of a car. He was dead before falling.

We see Liz and Tom talking. Tom is asking Liz to be release from this so he can go out there without Berlin of anyone of his guys notice he's gone. Too bad man. Liz demands the person who's meeting with Berlin and Tom gives his name to her.

As Liz leaves the room, Tom ask for warmer clothes because it does get freezing in the bottom on a fishing boat.

Later on, Liz and Navabi get summoned by Red. They meet him at a record store and soon he tells a story about a professor who walks into a bar and later gets killed. He then goes and talks about a man by the name of The Scimitar is out and on a mission to take down the top scientist in the country.

Liz and the gang try to give protection to the scientist and finding where the Scimitar could be at. When a tracking device locates to an abandoned construction site, Liz and Ressler are there to have a look.

Later on, Liz goes talking with Red and mentions about a source of a man who knows where Berlin is at. Red gives one of his looks that he knows when you are lying and of course Liz is totally lying to him about how she really killed Tom. Liz tells him that he'll give him the location of where Berlin is after she talks to the guy.

She does talk to the guy and soon gives the locations of Berlin's whereabouts.

Soon the FBI somehow get a call about one of the scientist being a target. When Liz and Ressler pick him up, already shoots were being fired and they are off until they were being chased. Soon the motorcyclist shoots the back window and then drops a some kind of sonic bomb which knocked them out and the car flip really big on top.

Liz and Ressler are out but soon later they are in a hospital. So they thought it was. The doctor comes in and talks to Liz, she has a broken arm and told her she'll need surgery to repair it completely. Soon Liz makes a phone call to Cooper and what seems to be fine then turns out it was not. That when the guy that they were trying to save and put into protective custody turns out to be not one of the scientist and it was The Scimitar who scammed them.

As Red said, The Scimitar is one part hit man, two parts con man.

Liz then devises a plan to get out and when the nurse comes back to give her some relax meds, Liz takes her down and gives her the meds instead. Then Liz runs to Ressler, who's been out and heavily medicated since they got there. He wakes up and then gets dressed. That's when one of the men comes in and tries to take them out. Liz then hides behind the door and hits and then knocks him out.

That's when Navabi calls Red and tells him about the situation. Then they go to a guy who's given The Scimitar all that he needs, the supply guy. Red and Navabi meets the guy and then gets him to talk of where The Scimitar takes his victims.

That's when Navabi and the FBI come in and rescue Liz and Ressler.

The Scimitar makes a go to the scientist who is speaking at a conference. He soon comes into her room pretending to be FBI and then takes her. Liz and Ressler goes to the hotel where the scientist and Scimitar are at and Liz spots a man who was pushing a cart with a big bag. Liz and the Scimitar meet again and soon the car with a shooter starts shooting around the area and the Scimitar gets away.

Liz and Ressler spots something moving in the bag and it turns out to be the scientist.

Later on, the Scimitar gets to his safe spot, the suppler's place and soon meets Red, who was sitting on a lawn chair and talks about how its crazy that people who run come to him.

Navabi then gets a call from Red and sees that The Scimitar is with him tired up. Red gives The Scimitar to her as a gift, since he is the one who killed her brother. Within a minute, Red gets a call and has to go. He tells her don't do anything that he wouldn't do, which means don't call the FBI on it.

We see Liz and Ressler talk, Ressler talks about his under control drug addiction. He seems like he's going to give it up but who knows what will happen. You can try but you'll need help getting through with it no matter what kind of person you are. Soon Cooper tells them that a body has been found matching the describing The Scimitar and it turns out it is.

Then, we come to a Red's car coming into a warehouse. Red gets out and soon we see Berlin. Red and his man, are surrounded by Berlin's men. Soon Red talks about how Liz told him where he's at. Then Berlin talks about how he's going to pick up his daughter and seeing that they've been having a nice time together. That's when he bring out the girl, who we thought was his own, soon he spells out that this is not his daughter but it's Berlin's daughter. The Bombshell have been blown sky high.

What an ending that turned out to be. I never thought about her to be Berlin's daughter. I wonder when are we going to learn about Cooper's medical condition, since the season premiere episode?

This was pretty good episode. Some of it were a bit predictable but all in all it was a top entertainment of last night in my book.

Next week is the Fall Finale that no one, and I do mean no one should miss. From what I can say is that Liz seems to be going full rouge and in a way acting a bit like Red. Things will change. Don't miss it. Because the next time we'll see The Blacklist is Super Bowl Sunday after the game and then the same week will be moving to Thursday nights at 9/8c.

You can catch Fall Finale of "The Blacklist" next Monday at 10/9c on NBC.
