"Who are you?" Aram asks when Liz says he has to let her take Agnes.
But Aram has something tougher than a bullet to give Liz, at least coming from him: harsh words. After Liz gives Agnes a hug and tells her to get her things together, she flashes her own gun in a much closer position on her hip. 1 target on the Blacklist - he glances over to where his gun sits on a table yards away from him. When Aram sees the doors of the freight elevator, revealing Elizabeth Keen - murderous fugitive and No. Liz allowed the station audio to filter into the background of her call on purpose, in order to make sure the rest of the Task Force would be cleared out of the Post Office when she arrived to take Agnes back. But when they get there, there's no Keen in sight, and the security footage shows her leaving the station two minutes after she made the call to Ressler. It, uh, most definitely wasn't! But it was the first time he recorded it, and in the background they hear noises indicating that Liz is at the Silver Springs train station, so Ressler, Park, and Cooper set out to find her before Reddington does. At least for now, while she knows Agnes is playing paper airplanes in the Post Office with Aram, and social services are on the way.Īs soon as Ressler hangs up, he tells Aram and Cooper that he recorded the call, but they both give him the side-eye, knowing this probably wasn't the first time Liz contacted him. Seemingly to get Liz off his back, Marvin says he'll think about it, but when Liz calls Ressler a few scenes later, she says she officially got Marvin to turn on Reddington, which is surprising, but as surprising as what she says next: She recognizes that she shouldn't subject Agnes to a life on the run, so just like her mother did 30 years ago, she's going to give her up for her own safety. Likewise, Marvin isn't interested in Liz's vengeful quest: "You're declaring war to defend the honor of a woman who abandoned you as a child and murdered your grandfather." YES, MARVIN! This is what I've been saying! But Skip sees some merit in Liz's argument that if Red were in the same situation and sensed that power was shifting to Liz in the form of her getting Red's entire empire once he dies, potentially soon… he would most certainly turn his back on Marvin.
Somehow Liz knows Marvin's actual location, where he's meeting in a diner with new Reddington Law associate Skip, who we were introduced to last week while he was annoying Red by trying to push him toward more new-age business practices. Everyone remains loyal to Red, but Liz tells Esi she has one final contact who's more important than anyone else because only he knows where Red's money is kept: Marvin Gerard. Only to be followed up moments later by a call from Red saying not to listen to anything Elizabeth Keen says. So the next high-energy scene is spent with Heddie, Ruddiger, Brimley, and more fielding calls from Liz claiming that Red is dying, Red is a Russian spy, Red is working with the FBI… Tadashi gives Liz the phone numbers she asks for, but he also immediately reports back to Red what he's done. She gets to Tadashi first, telling him that Red is dying, so his days of being employed are limited unless he moves his loyalties over to her. She's got a list of names of Reddington's best associates, and she's going to lure them to her side. Liz and Esi escape the safe house in a stolen car before Reddington can catch them, and Liz lets Esi in on her plan to take Reddington down. I can't fully believe that Red would ever trust a guy named Skip, but I can fully believe that a guy named Skip would betray him for a much more appealing option that comes with 35 million euros and a private plane. Because even if Liz finally getting one over on Reddington doesn't feel particularly monumental, it is at least fun. 1 target is indeed Elizabeth Keen, but the Task Force's hunt for her - or at least the beginning of it - is just kind of a fun romp around the tri-state area, with an extra dose of feeling for Spy Baby Agnes' reappearance.īut that's okay. But no matter what, I felt certain that revealing the top spot would eventually offer some sort if the finality to this story.Īs it turns out, the Blacklist's No. 1 spot would go to Raymond Reddington, Elizabeth Keen, or maybe someone from their past who could unravel this mythology's many secrets. Elizabeth Keen evades Reddington and his team in 'Blacklist' clipįrom the day The Blacklist first premiered (gulp, over seven years ago) and its premise was set in motion, the question has always been on the table: Who's at the very tippity-top of this Blacklist? It seemed almost certain that the No.
