A guard (Peter Stormare) that was severely injured in the crash is questioned in the hospital, and tells a story of a man in prison whose enemy sent him parts of his dead daughter, one by one, until he managed to escape.
Tom ambushes Elizabeth in her car and drags her into the room with a gun pointed to her head, imploring Red to give himself up.
Red says that he realized the man he had just tortured and killed is not Berlin, who is instead revealed to be the injured guard the FBI questioned in the hospital.
The season ends with Red removing his shirt to treat his bullet wound, revealing burn scars on his back.
"[4] Jim McMahon of IGN gave the episode a 7.5/10: "The Blacklist wraps up its first season with a hit-and-miss finale as James Spader steals the show once again".
[5] He further commented: "The first season finale was an almost perfect representation of the show on the whole: uneven, frustrating, and punctuated by thoroughly entertaining scenes with James Spader that made it all worth it".
