Two Halves of a Whole Person: The Blacklist "The Deer Hunter (No. 93)"


In this masterpiece of an episode, yes that's right I said masterpiece. Liz and the gang are on the hunt for a killer that has resurface known as the Deer Hunter. But when she and the FBI know who this serial killer is, Red gives them the current information and things kind of turn the table in their investigation.

We learn about how the Deer Hunter kills, goes out at night, stalks and then shoots a hunting arrow. As the victim dies, the killer cuts its organs out and then hangs him upside down like a dead dear. But here's the kicker, you would think that the killer would be a he, nope turns out to be a she.

Red drops a bomb on Liz about the facts of the Deer Hunter, they take a different look and found out that this isn't the original killer but a copycat. We later see this lady in her home, she has a bunch of animals from birds to cats and she seems to out of it when she's arguing with the yellow bird.

The next day, she talks to a lady who is in an abusive relationship, she tells her about what's going to happen and also that she needs her to be equally agree. That's were we learn that the Deer Hunter works as an accountant at an abusive shelter. She kills men who stalk or beats women.

Seems like she was part of that too with her own husband. As Liz and Ressler go back to talk to the latest victim's widow, the deer hunter killers her and runs off but not without knocking out Liz and taking her to her basement.

She ties Liz up and hooks her to a wire. Then Liz wakes up and headbutts her in the face and tries to escape but the killer knocks the dumbbell weight and lefts Liz up in the air. Then things started talking, the hunter talks about how she was like those women and that men are bad.

Liz soon got sick of it and told her to get it over with and that's when she grabs her and wraps her legs around her neck. She holds her tight like Tom did with that dude in the boat episodes ago. But soon Ressler and backup came and Liz almost had killed her but let her go. It comes to term that the Deer Hunter wasn't just a man or woman, but both in Liz's case.

Meanwhile, Red on the other hand has been dealing with two things in this episode. One was setting up a meeting with this mysterious guy that he called that he got from the safe that Alan Fitch had and two to helpp Liz get out of a murder.

The meeting didn't happen because he had to meet the witness. But when he got the location of where the guy was at during the last chat, they look and find drops of blood trailing to a knocked over chair with the phone underneath.

Who is this guy and what the hell happen? We only saw him a couple of times from behind Good note, Liz and Red might be on good hands again. She told him that she has the fulcrum but she wants to know what it is. Red tells her that she's worried that once he has it that all of this would be over. I wouldn't think so.

I found this episode great with such characterization of the Deer Hunter. I found that blacklister character creepy and crazy with how we witnessed her from the start of the episode by talking to her birds like they are real people.

Next week's episode deals with Red finally getting caught from his enemies and well the bidding for him starts at an good high amount. Plus soon a certain person makes a return....
