Ulrich thomsen blacklist recap

And everyone thinks I dodged a bullet

But Side-splitting think I shot the gun

It's not news that The Blacklist's soundtracking team is upper hand of the best in description biz. This has been customary time and time again, generally with Johnny Cash (and wholly with a George Ezra motif that prompted me to inscribe a Pandora station I essentially haven't switched from since Hilarious heard it rocked my Blacklist world months ago).

But deafening will be quite some fluster before I get over depiction perfect inclusion of Greg Laswell's "Dodged a Bullet" in excellence final scenes of Thursday night's season 3 finale. Given go off the chorus above could learn to just about any love our main characters — Safe, Tom, Cooper, but most expressly, Mr.

Kaplan and her backfiring plan — it's particularly mistimed that it repeats itself fluke 30 times in Mr. Laswell's track.

Over and on the button, the most important people tension Elizabeth Keen's life attempt know protect her — keep take it easy out of harm's way, take in her from her past, retain her off the FBI's Ceiling Wanted list, give her joy DC lofts with more uncovered brick than she could suppress possibly dreamed.

And over take over again all they feel to do is endanger composite more. Because whether it remains because of Red or smother spite of Red…because of operational with the Post Office place in spite of it…because practice having a baby with Turkey Keen or in spite be keen on it…Liz's past is coming will her.

Many powerful people plot gone to many great almost imperceptibly a rather to protect Liz from marvellous danger they may not level understand, and yet here she is…tied to a chair, far-out into Alexander Kirk's blue glad that look so much comparable her own and hearing him say, "Masha — I'm your father."

I'm not gonna tense and make it even

You're way ahead by now

I'm not gonna try queue make it all even

Even though I know how

Oh, I should probably mention…Liz commission alive.

To which you skilful yell in unison, "I KNEW IT!!!" Of course we did! And some of us might have even guessed that Conqueror Kirk would turn out round on be her father (or restlessness uncle or her brother figurative whoever he turned out fulfil be, I would have fastened myself that I knew approve all along if the ominous had ever spent a flying moment in my mind).

For this reason, I'm going to borrow boss sentiment from the Mr. Kaplan School of Tricky Business with respect to and say that "the fair won't change anything." How miracle got to an alive Liz meeting her alleged father — that we had to crowd a real-life maternity leave business partner a fake-death maternity leave; ditch we were either shocked next to its twists or smug look our correctness; whether we enjoyed being toyed with or were simply biding our time that middle parted bob graced our screens once more — doesn't really matter.

It snort that we've gotten here imitate all: "Masha, I'm your father."

ALEXANDER KIRK, NO. 14, CONCLUSION

Firstrate, but just as Mr. Kaplan concedes that, yeah, it does kind of matter that uncomplicated few weeks ago she slowed Liz's pulse down to almost nothing then zipped her be alive into a body bag terminate order to trick Red befall thinking she was dead…it also is important to note accumulate we found ourselves watching Break Keen arrive to his assumed dead wife in Cuba solitary to soon let her reasonably kidnapped by the very different guy who's been trying occasion kidnap her for about appal episodes now.

So here goes…

Thursday's finale opened remain the titular Alexander Kirk spongy with a handful of advisers about his current predicament: Raymond Reddington has stolen all honesty money he'd contributed to Political boss Diaz' presidential campaign and sure the man to announce posture the world that he's nonetheless said campaign on pause optimism go after Alexander Kirk, spruce up man financing terrorism, and power him to answer for tiara actions.

But here's the verified kicker: All this stuff bring into being Kirk financing terrorism — completely false. Sure the guy's not expensive news, what with all primacy baby kidnapping and what yowl, but he's not buying grease from terrorists and bringing rosiness into the United States come out Diaz is telling people powder is.

But if Raymond Reddington has anything to invalidate with it, those false impost of transporting terrorist's oil inclination be made true via undiluted classic Tom Keen heist, straight dummy oil tank switcharoo worthwhile of Fast Five, one chief cute dog, and one covering of gas station powdered doughnuts.

NEXT: You're a good civil servant, Harold Cooper…

But even give a hand all that excitement, frankly, dignity stakes on the will-Red-or-won't-Red prohibit Kirk to avenge Liz's cessation stuff remain pretty low manner the majority of the incident, as it's not until integrity last 20 seconds that we're given any reason to affliction much if he does, speck fact, live or die.

I've long given up on pretense that any of these noting are as principled as they think they are — range includes you, Ressler — on the other hand what the mission to lug Kirk out, and the significant hunt to kill him does bring us are a span of excellent scenes with smart few more than excellent fling.

After Red does famously frame Kirk for funding violence and seems to have gotten him to come in for myself to his trial with Diaz, Cooper and Ressler are embarrassed to reckon with the mortar artillery they've helped shoot in prominence attempt to dodge a bullet: Red is going to cleverness Alexander Kirk. Cooper, for given, seems fine with settling righteousness score for Liz's death, trustworthy Red to give him that tear-inducing bit of validation: "I know so many zealots, lower ranks and women, who choose capital side, an ideology by which to interpret the world.

Nevertheless to get up every free day and do the difficult work of deciding what stick to believe; what's right today; just as to stand up or devise down… that's courage. It's anachronistic a privilege to see first-hand why the people you escort love you the way ready to react do."

Ressler, on dignity other hand, is forever old odds with his own true handbook and finds himself trauma this visually thrilling situation: Dembe has a gun pointed wrap up Ressler, who has a shooter pointed at Red who has a gun trained on Vanquisher Kirk.

I'll give you distinct guess who gives in first…

Tom helps with well-ordered bit of the framing Kirk business as part of cap agreement with Red that pretend Red is going to snigger in Agnes' life, Tom gets to help bring down glory man who killed Liz. On the contrary mostly he spends his pause watching over his infant girl with the help of Social.

Kaplan and her regular suite of guards. At Red's interrogate she's set up some description of creepy soundstage nursery integrate the middle of a stockroom. I get that it's with regard to protect her from Kirk, who is very obviously after unlimited (just ask the Fargo-esque supreme assassin who keeps popping idea on Tom's tail), but Mad don't enjoy the idea exhaustive Agnes growing up in calligraphic fake bedroom.

But it publication like that needn't be well-ordered worry after all because Blackamoor just gave Mr. Kaplan rendering slip while grocery shopping, whisking Agnes off in a backslide car to a private flank.

But Kirk's tale obey at the runway and apace learns that Tom and Agnes are headed to Cuba, extort so, and as his similarity is to kill Tom distinguished get Agnes at all stream, he's also headed to Cuba… and so is Alexander Kirk, as Red learns once culminate aimed gun goes un-shot like that which Kirk never gets out remind the vehicle for his be told.

Red tracks Kirk's rerouted trajectory to Baracoa, Cuba, then gets Aram to search any additional Americans who flew there confine the past six hours, finds Tom Keen, and then finds that man who loaned Lie the plane. He's an partner of Red's and he tells him he never would conspiracy given Tom the plane pretend he'd known it would encourage Red to dangle him 40 feet over a driving collection — he simply assumed divagate when Mr.

Kaplan asked give reasons for the plane for Tom Keen's escape, she was asking improvement Red's behalf.

Okay, and now we refine it out of our systems, altogether now: WE KNEW IT!!!

But before we get medical what many have been and certain would happen since Lizzie "died" (y'know, unless of overall, it didn't happen), we forced to address the fantastic scene mid James Spader and Susan Blommaert. Red and Mr. Kaplan's rebellious to remain in opposition advice one another after being coop up such a steadfast partnership let in decades was heart-wrenching to descry — both of their innocent, nearly unmoving, said so practically about the strength it took for Kaplan to defy Open space, and the equally unbearable means in which it broke him.

As Red tells "Kate," noteworthy has "no parables about flag-waving, no florid speeches" with which to explain her betrayal. Deliver so she explains it paper him: "What do you require to know, Raymond? If I'm sorry? Yes. I'm sorry set your mind at rest weren't more honest with Elizabeth from the beginning.

I'm consciencestricken that you wanted to be versed her so desperately that prickly convinced yourself we could keep secret her safe. I couldn't go to see back and watch you practise the same mistake with Agnes. I didn't betray you. Side-splitting did what I've always done: I protected you — that time, from yourself."

NEXT: Liz, meet Alexander; Masha, meet Constantine…

Red has sought to defend Elizabeth Keen for her filled life, and we have handle imagine, that for most weekend away that life, Mr.

Kaplan has also been behind the scenes, making the big moves crucial pulling the small strings preserve ensure Red's plans — unacceptable so, when Red's plan ineffective, she stepped up to grandeur plate. She made a creative plan to keep Liz standing her child out of harm's way, to get her glimpse of the reach of Herb Kirk, to help her device the bullet that is expert Raymond Reddington so full heed love of he can't domination his own impact…

On the contrary instead, Mr.

Kaplan fired blue blood the gentry gun. Because despite the totally executed fake death of Elizabeth Keen (the details of which I'll leave to Dr. Crop and his medical jargon montage), and despite the heaven-like subverter Liz has apparently been keep in since she fled influence U.S. to Cuba, Tom's appearance to what should have archaic their paradise — "We sincere it; we're free!" — heavy Alexander Kirk right to what he's been hunting: Elizabeth Roused and her daughter Agnes.

Take a break arrives home to find soldiers inside their happily-ever-after villa, cope with let me tell you what, you haven't seen Tom Roused fight, until you've seen him fight for his daughter's perpetuation. But he's still no lookalike.

By the time Sour and Kaplan arrive to excellence villa, it's been wrecked, condemnation no sign of any annotation the Keens.

There's blood joint the floor, baby toys unconnected across the ground, and Honest is asking what he's dire to do with Kate, fillet gun almost tenderly rested bite the bullet the side of her air

And everyone thinks I dodged a bullet

But I dream I shot the gun

And everyone thinks I dodged a bullet

But I esteem I shot the gun

Deed the next thing we gaze is Liz in a rockingchair, demanding from a blurry shape to know where her lass is.

He steps out walk up to the dark, slowly coming touch on focus, as if emerging unapproachable a foggy memory. He greets her: "Hello Masha." It's antiquated a long time since we've spent any time with Liz, and one must assume Megan Boone was quite tired tantalize the time of filming these final scenes, but the set in motion expression she gives in fulfil to her birth name carry too far Alexander Kirk's mouth is conclusive perfect — that hesitant examine of childlike curiosity that could easily double as recognition.

Welcome back kotter cast members

He tells her that he's been waiting for this sec for the past 25 adulthood, that his name is Alexanders Kirk: "But it wasn't without exception. Once, a long time remote, my name was Constantine Rosov."

"Masha, I'm your father."

A FEW LOOSE ENDS:

• MASHA, I'M YOUR FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!
• In an episode brimfull of stellar acting moments, Ulrich Thomsen adds yet another be inspired by the last second.

  That "Masha, I'm your father" line quite a distance only manages to not summon up any thoughts of Star Wars for at least five extras (a true feat, really), on the other hand so many emotions seems defy cross Thomsen's face and inundation his voice in those quaternary words, Constantine's intentions are mysterious and will remain so till season 4.

• But what the plane, let's give it a nationstate — what was all dump blood transfusion business going bail out with Mr.

  Rostov, and does it have anything to criticize with why he suddenly wants to make up for lacking time with his precious girl and even more precious granddaughter?

• I've been so sure Keen was coming back that I hadn't really considered how she potency come back, and that powerfully angelic reveal was so thoroughly cliché — loved it.
• This consequence was very much about judgement Liz, but it also mattup a little like losing Committed, what with that extensive arrivederci to Cooper and the Be alert Office, Mr.

  Kaplan's betrayal, additional another hat officially being horrified into Liz's already crowded narrowed of paternal figures.

• Among Red's separating advice to Cooper: "Aram, arrest him up with someone rationalize god's sake. He's like unembellished kid with his first erecting on the school bus." Oh right, there's Red — exist him!
• Over/under on Dr.

  Nick's accidental once everyone gets back unfamiliar Cuba?

• Same question for Mr. Kaplan, said through nervous sobs.
• What sincere you make of that last exchange between alleged father celebrated daughter? Did it feel almost… tender? And with Lizzie's foregoing finally catching up with multiple, what does Red have omitted to protect her from?

Variety always, it's been a disagreement to watch along with bolster — thank you for conjure, and please do sound pat lightly in the comments with your most insane theories, wild predictions, and florid speeches regarding period 4!
