"There's no firm footing in this show."  LOL - no kidding!

What did Spader say? "It’s surprising I’m here today."

Eastcoast - That's an interesting clip.  It's reinforcing the idea that Reddington is an impostor, which I do believe. Yet it identifies him as Ilya Koslov, which I don't believe.  It has Cooper saying it's impossible, which will please the fans who still believe Red is the original RR.  To me, Cooper's reaction is what I would expect. I've never believed Cooper knew the real story.or was in on this with Red. I believe Red's plastic surgery and his impresonation is good enough to fool people who knew the real RR years ago.

The reason I've never quite believed Red was Ilya is that Ilya was taller back in the day. Like The Stranger, who is more likely to be Ilya IMHO.

 
Good point HW.
I know from sleuthing around a few months back, that most people don't think height or physical characteristics have anything to do any of that.  But I do wonder if they chose someone with so much height difference for that reason?

I meant to ask everyone if they noticed that it says he is in French Custody?  He asked where he was.  Could that mean he has no memory of what happened?  Or is he faking it? 
I did think it was funny when he was talking about footing, that it looks like he is grabbing at someone foot! 

Yes I thought that was interesting that Liz said he was in French custody. Maybe Katarina turns him over to them when she's finished interrogating him. Or that's just a cover story to throw the Task Force off her scent.

He does seem to be grabbing at someone's foot. I suspect that in the end it will be Red who gets himself free. As usual.

I gather Dembe must have known where he was going or had some idea of what was going in able to tell Liz where he is.  Maybe they had a time to meet and Red didn't show up and that is how he knows he is in trouble. 

HW, that is what I was thinking, that he is trying to get out and whoever's foot that is might have keys or something? 

I was also wondering if they are told French custody, but it's her?  Some of the newest photos out today could be either one.  The writers like it like that. 

In the promo before this newest one, you couldn't see the man's face. I had wondered if it could by some chance be the stranger on the bench?  But I can see now that it isn't.

Whether or not he is Ilya or whoever, she said she didn't really like doing this.  I don't know about that? 

The way they have his head immobile and his arms strapped down made me wonder if that Dr. is trying to convince Red he is sick, just like they did Liz that time with her arm.

We have 2 1/2 weeks to guess! Lol.

Tuxie, they show him in the latest promo pics.  I cant remember if they also showed him in the video they had, not all the videos are identical.  I saw them yesterday.  They even gave his name. He was standing by KR. 
I'm in a hurry or I would find it and post a link. Can do when I get home later.

I forgot to mention, when I looked him up, it said he was Leland Bray on Redemption. 

Here is a tiny bit spoilery screenspy article.

So, Louis T. Steinhil is an anagram. Anybody good at anagrams?

What I get is "The Illusionist"
