The Blacklist season 1 finale technically begins tonight--it’s a two-parter.
The first part will air on May 5 and the second will air on May 11.
In tonight’s episode, Liz refuses to work with Red after discovering the truth about the death of her father.
Seeking to make amends and force Liz to see him, Red brings the FBI a case they can’t ignore. Meanwhile, Liz reveals what she knows about Tom’s secret life to the FBI.
Red gets arrested in this episode per the official description for the second part. “With the crashing of the mysterious prisoner transport plane, the city is on lock down as the authorities are on the hunt for all the escapees,” it says. “With Red in custody, Liz uses her power to get him out since he is their best chance at finding all the suspects.
“Elsewhere, their main objective is to track down Berlin, a prisoner on the plane who is somehow involved.”
TVGuide spoke with creator Jon Bokenkamp about the finale, which is titled “Berlin” after an escaped prisoner.
Bokenkamp said that the finale is “big and muscular,” and said more details will come out about Tom Keen.
“In regard to both Tom and the series as a whole, we will give some satisfying answers,” he said. “It has built into that episode specifically some really big mysteries that will be really fun to unwrap.”
