And can Kirk be trusted?
Raymond Reddington may have finally met his match.
Season 4 of The Blacklist opened with a bang -- or, to be more precise, a crash -- on Thursday. Just when Red (James Spader) thought he and Mr. Kaplan (Susan Blommaert) were bringing baby Agnes to safety, their car was T-boned by one of Alexander Kirk's (Ulrich Thomsen) henchmen. Apparently, Kirk is going to stop at nothing to keep Liz Keen (Megan Boone) and her daughter out of Red's clutches.
In fact, that's what he's (allegedly) been trying to do his whole life. According to Kirk, his connection to Red is that Red had an affair with his wife Katarina, Liz/Masha's mother, and kidnapped Liz when she was a little girl after her mother broke off the affair. Kirk says he (like all of us) even wondered at one point whether Red could be Liz's father, but he supposedly has proof that Red isn't. Oh, and also? He tells her he has a blood disorder and is dying. She seems unconcerned, to put it mildly.
