At last, an expressionist silent classic that takes full advantage of cinematic principles. The legendary E.A. Dupont goes in for subjective-emotional effects of which Hitchcock would approve, and cameraman Karl Freund and effects wizard Eugen Schüfftan pull off spectacular visuals and special effects. No wonder this was a huge hit in America, it’s way ahead of its time (and ours, in some ways).

The Blacklist, Season 1, Episode 11: “The Good Samaritan Killer”
Written by Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier
Directed by Dan Lerner
Airs Mondays at 10pm Et on NBC
When the new shows for fall 2013 were being announced, it seemed all but guaranteed that The Blacklist would the standout from the bunch. It had a great lead in the form of James Spader and a solid episodic premise that just might border on intrigue, but instead, The Blacklist proved to be consistent at one thing among others: disappointment. That was true for the first half of the season, at least. Could this new year mean a better, more improved show? It doesn’t seem likely.
Following the attack on the FBI safehouse and Red’s (James Spader) ensuing abduction and escape, the FBI are simultaneously searching for Red, who has gone Mia, and attempting to identify the mole inside the FBI that helped Anslo Garrick kidnap him.

Raymond Reddington is no longer working with Lizzie and the FBI on "The Blacklist" (at least for right now) but that doesn't mean he's not still around.
Red's Kidnapping
Reddington is bent on figuring out who was behind his kidnapping and torture in the fall finale. He first takes out everyone remotely connected to it, then in order to find the big fish behind the incident, he does what one should always do in situations like these -- he follows the money.
Aram, the nice programmer we met last fall, appears to be the FBI mole at first, but it's a frame-up. Red actually discovers that the person behind the kidnapping is Newton Phillips (Charles Baker).
You won't remember Newton Phillips by that name. He's been referred to as "Grey" and seen acting as a sort of butler-like person to Red. Most notably, Grey was the man who interviewed Liz's...
