The Blacklist is back!! The most anticipated season is here, and it starts on a high-driven note.
We pick off right from where the finale left off; Red is looking around the room, seeing blood and picturing what happened in the events of Liz, Angus, and Tom being kidnapped. So, Demebe gets a call on the location of one person there, and so they take off.
We see Red and the crew walking into a nightclub in slow-motion fashion (which is beautiful enough to capture Red's emotional state). They get to the back, where a miss performing CPR on a cop, but by the time Red wants to talk to him, he is dead. So the next best thing was for him to perform a mess operation of cutting the guy's head off. Yes, you read that correctly: Reddingotn cut off the dead guy's head. AWESOME, right?!
He takes the head and shows it to one of his friends, who takes him to a group of cops that are playing porkpokerd asks if they know who the person is, they'll get a cut of the money, but one didn't want to talk, so he got shot and so did the rest of the three until the last one spoke of who he knows.
When Red and Dembe found where Liz was, they headed out to what looked like an automatic shop. Red and Dembe search around and find a room with a glass window, where he hears Kirk behind the glass along with Red. Kirk and Red have a standoff moment; Rehe tries to break the glass with his gun but doesn't seem to do anything. But Cuban police were coming, and Red and Dembeleftf,t but not before Liz told Red that he needed to search for Angus, but also Red said to her that he'd check for her.
Red figures that he needs h help. Call one FBI to find Esteb, a blacklister who is a double agent in Cuba for the USA, but Cuba doesn't know. Esteban is probably one of the scariest-looking guys ever blind, and yet he takes his plastic eyes out for his prisoners to hold. YUCK!
Cooper sent Ressler down there and met with Esteban at his place. The two had a nice chat, and Ressler called on Red to have the two talk. Reed asked him to search for a girl that had been taken (Liz) and the baby. It was later that he found where Liz was being held.
Meanwhile, Liz and Kirk were getting to share a lot. He says he's her father, but she'd buy it. Soon, Angus is brought back to Liz, and she plans to escape Thylacine's place and is caught.
Tom, on the other hand, is the Cuba tour, if you know what I mean. Kidnapped, he was taken by the Cuban Frankenstein (if you will) to another guy who was going to take him out. If that guy thought he was going to have a lot of fun with Tom, he sure hell doesn't know what the hell he was getting into. Tom knocks him out and kills him, but after, he tells Kirk, who was on the phone at the time, that he is coming for his family and an army is coming.
Red and the team get to the spot where Liz is and where Angus is. Dembe looks in the house and heads upstairs til Frankenstein takes him down and beats him til he leaves. Kaplan, who is not on Red's good side then, sees a woman grabbing baby blankets and stuff, finds her with Angus, and takes her out. Way to go, Kaplan!!
Red is, races out to the back and sees the plane leaving, with Liz looking down from the window, all in disbelief and sadness. The camera angle of Red's reaction was perfect in that scene, shocked and lopsided.
The good news is that Red had Angu, but the bad news is that they lose Angus, too, when Frankenstein runs them over. He takes Angus away, but not until he kisses Kaplan with his finger on her lips. What the hell was that for?
OH MY GOD!!! This took my breath away from the moment I ted to the end of the episode. This was the season premiere that The Blacklist had done yet. It was so good, from the acting to the writing and the idirectionalloot. I'm happy they didn't have a trailer and promos for this season, but only small clips with previous clips.
So, what will happen?LOLooksooks, like the haunt to save, Liz is on. What will happen to Mr. Kaplan (to be honest, the dishonest doesn't want her to go)? t it looks like Red might kill her. If anybody agrees that, I think we would want Tom vs Frankenstein fighting it out again, right? We all know that Tom can kick that dude's butt.
Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.
You can catch The Blacklist Thursday nights at 10/9c on NBC
