We have a double!!!

It looks like they are doing this episode about the real guy!

Robert Vesco,

Red and the Task Force hunt for legendary fugitive Robert Vesco
one of history's most notorious conmen.
Meanwhile, Samar makes a life changing decision.

The Osterman Umbrella Company,

Red directs Liz to investigate a secret organization of assassins
hired by global intelligence agencies to eliminate former agents,
a case with ramifications that will change the Task Force forever.

Both of those episodes sound good! Robert Vesco would have to be almost 90 by now!

Eastcoast · 3/11/2019 11:09 pm

He was born in 1935 and died in 2007. That is why I find this so interesting.

The Umbrella Co. reminds me of the Travel Agency. It will be fun to see a double episode!

Both sound really interesting. An episode about a real existing person

Osterman was also the name of the CIA guy from Ilyas Surkov. Seems like he found a new job pretty quickly

EDIT after looking at the guest stars, seems that some familiar faces are returning: Glen, Brimley and Heddie are all appearing in 13. Oded Fehr, who plays Mossad agent Shur, will star in both episodes.

Yeti - I noticed the repeating of the Osterman name too. They do like to repeat names in this series.

I predict the assassins for the global intelligence agencies will be after Samar. The hit has been put on her for some reason. She will have to disappear like Katarina did. That's the life-changing decision she'll have to make. And this is the doosey of the storyline JB talked about earlier. It's not the aphasia and migraine headaches.

Aly posted a TV guide magazine blurb that says Stacy Keach will be in back-to-back episodes as Robert Vesco. I'm excited about seeing Keach and Spader together in both eps!

I love this!! Will be a great episode. Be so good to see Red back out there.

Spoilertv has photos from these episodes posted. https://www.spoilertv.com/2019/03/the-blacklist-episode-613-614-press.html#.XJWq-a44lDw.twitter

The coolest thing I saw was Red back in his weird little apartment. And Dembe holding a cat. Could it be..the return of...Flat Cat?

TheYeti · 3/23/2019 6:33 am

Seems like Red, Dembe, Glen, Vontae and Max are up to something... What better team can you think of to plan a heist?

Tuxie400 · 3/24/2019 11:23 am

There's a teaser on aly's tumblr that was shown at C2E2 yesterday for the double episode. It looks like it's going to be a fun treasure hunt! Liz says Vesco was Reddington's mentor. Bokenkamp said Eisendrath has long been a fan of the real Robert Vesco.

I don't know if this is true, but I just read on Reddit that Robert Vesco is supposed to Blacklister #9 and The Osterman Umbrella Co. is #6. I'm surprised they would be so high on the list.

I was excited to see these pics HW. Flat Cat is back! Lol

Eastcoast · 3/24/2019 11:18 pm

Yeti, I am excited to see this. I wonder if Red will get all excited like he did in Abraham Stern and talk about being excited when he was a little boy?

Tuxie, I saw that they were to be under 10 and am looking forward to this.

You know Red will be all excited about a treasure hunt! And I can't believe so many of his helpers are cast for these two episodes.

Eastcoast · 3/29/2019 3:19 pm

I mentioned something on the other post and I meant to put it here.

Did anyone notice in the preview that he is called Ray by Vesco?

I have also been thinking about Vontae. He is supposed to be in jail for crimes he didn't do. So I was wondering if Red is going to figure out what happened and get the people responsible to turn themselves in? It would be better than having Red get even with them!

Tuxie400 · 3/29/2019 5:10 pm

Eastcoast - I suppose getting those responsible for those crimes Vontae took the fall on could be a future episode down the line. If we do get it, I don't think it will come until Season 7.

Eastcoast · 3/29/2019 5:16 pm

I don't expect it tonight, but I would think in the future it would be a great to have in the episode. Would be even better if it somehow tied into a blacklister.
