In the closing moments, he said he’d brought her to the Blacklist itself.
Liz has been burned before by Red’s promises of the truth, but this time is different.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: We’re meeting the Blacklist.
How will what’s next shape Red and Liz’s dynamic, which has basically been destroyed this season?
That’s the promise the next episode.
This space that we’re entering is as tangible of a hold as we can get on Reddington.
Beyond the inner workings of the empire, we have the promise of Red telling Liz everything.
Red says Katarina was not “framed or killed” when talking to Liz.
What does this mean for what we know about Katarina Rostova?
It means that we don’t know the whole story.
What is his relationship with them both?
Those are the sorts of things I know we’ll [address] in the next episode.
Are we really in danger of losing the task force?
How worried should we be?
They’re all in a very precarious position, and it’s very real.
Liz has become an incredible liability to the agency she used to work for.
That’s a legitimate question.
This season for some reason has been more serialized, and it wasn’t really intentional.
It’s fair to say that we are coming to a close of a story on this series.
Next week’s episode is another one that isn’t your typical episode ofThe Blacklist.
What can you share about what’s next?
It is titled “Nachalo,” which is the Russian word for “the beginning.”
How excited do you guys get about doing these special episodes?
I love this sort of off-pattern episodes.
The show has always been a strange hybrid of a standalone procedural and serialized, deep mythology.
Those are sort of standalone character pieces.
How do they come together?
How do they tie together?
To be able to give the audience some answers is really exciting.
It’s also a very different episode because it’s largely in black-and-white.
It’s visually a really interesting episode.
He’s such a good documentary filmmaker, and this episode is sort of a document.
It’s the evidence of what has been happening over the years.
This one is a very special one.
What can you tease about what’s next as we head toward the end of the season?
The Blacklistreturns Wednesday, June 16, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
