Raymond Reddington | He's an Imposter

"Everything about me is a lie."
My take on the #impostertheory
Please don't steal/re-upload the video without my permission.

[@strawberrypills]

The Blacklist Season 6 will air its two-hour premiere event across two nights on NBC, starting on Thursday, January 3, 2019 at 10/9c and concluding on Friday, January 4 at 9/8c, with the latter serving as the debut in its new permanent timeslot.

[@curvy71]

I can't wait.

[@stargazersally6544]

I understand that another season has been signed up for, Season 7. People out there have set forth a lot of theories about how the series will end. If it will end, truly end then I could live with some of those theories, but if the writers and producers plan on killing off the Reddington character to have Keen take over as lead in a continuing show, it will never work. Her grudge against him is ridiculous, he told her the truth all along, it was Harold Cooper who told her that Reddington was her father. She is supposed to be some big profiler, but she was unable to rap her head around that? The public deserves a better story line then that. Also you really got the Rostov/ Rostova names wrong. Once a russian woman is married she normally drops the a from her last name. James Spader is carrying this show, it's not his fault, he is a natural and you could team anyone with him and he would steal the show. All of the cast members have done well, but not one could take the lead. I hope that is not the plan. Thank you for this show, I have enjoyed it immensely.

[@SusieQinNewOrleansLA504]

As a super fan who is famous for comprising, promoting and holding true to the imposter theory...well done. One of the best completion videos I've seen. We are following 3 separate yet connected story lines. 1. The real Reddington, Carla Reddington, Jennifer and their connection to the imposter. 2. Katarina, Alexander Kirk, Dom, Katarina's affair with the real Reddington, Masha/Liz and their connection to the imposter. 3. The imposter, his family/their fate, the blown up house, connection to the cabal.

[@martinstuvland8620]

As good a theory as that is.....I'd be disappointed if it turns out to be the case! It's too simple :P. If there's one thing this series has taught me.....is that when you think you have it figured out.....you don't! x) I reckon there's a conclusion in there, combining the narratives into a organic solution! But....without knowing what that might be x). But.....that's one of the things that makes this series so got damn great!! :D

[@jelenamatkovic6208]

Maybe imposter is Katarina's brother that means now RR is uncle to Elizabeth not father...she shoot her real father as a kid..

[@SusieQinNewOrleansLA504]

Why would you be disappointed? It's still the same Red we have grown to love. Ressler described that criminal in the pilot episode and the that description does not fit the Reddington we have grown to love over the course of 5 seasons. Ask yourself how you can love the Reddington Ressler described. The personality and attributes we love about Reddington are of the imposter...the person who took on the identity of Reymond Reddington.

[@martinstuvland8620]

Don't put words in my mouth. I'll be disappointed not in the sense of the story line going this or that way in accordance to my own expectations. But rather that the people who made the series have, time and time again, shown the ability for making a sophisticated and elegant plotline which, to a very little extent, follows a "formula". And that is why I would be disappointed. Because they have set the standard so high, that the imposter theory would be an "easy way out" to explain everything. Compared to how complex and nuanced they have made this series from the acting to the music and the narrative itself. To me they'd be selling themselves short compared to what they've shown they're capable of!

[@SusieQinNewOrleansLA504]

I don't think I was putting words in your mouth.

[@linzieross2702]

[@MWGScorp]

Yep it'd be probably good enough for a Season 6 pre-teaser! lol! It's very good quality, though I would argue it's a little on the unfair side toward Red-but that's sort of the point here. I only have the problem with some of the quotes being...sort of taken out of context. Like "the truth will out", and not the total of his convo with Diane, who led to the death of Lou and nearly Dembe.

Amazing trailer. Hollywood quality. To think you masterminded this a week before the finale. A genius, you are.

[@karlosderobesen7551]

this is my hunch: Since the bones in the bag are proved to be Raymond Reddington's, the one who looks like Raymond Reddington is KATARINA ROSTOVA, actually, after a thorough transformation surgery which the inmense resources of money allowed. That's why "Raymond" loves and protect Elizabeth so deeply even putting "his" life on stake and also killing people in order to keep such secret. Bye.

[@bretakearns-gillis7715]

Hands down this is the most excellent art work of a video I have ever imagined watching,.... honestly, you need to be highly recognized for your work. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

[@elizabethwozniak2260]

I've always just assumed the bones were Katarina's and never thought they could be anyone else. I thought that Red killed her and didn't want Liz to find out he killed her mother. However, the point of Red taking the identity of Reddington also is another possibility. I'm excited to actually find out who's in the bag.

[@MatchesMalone1183]

I thought maybe that Red was at one point given her remains when an enemy killed her to get back at him. So perhaps she was brutally murdered because of him, and he doesn't want Elizabeth to find out it was because of him, or how brutal her death was. It would also mirror what happened to his other daughters mother.

[@MWGScorp]

His actions likely killed her and her father's, hence the guilt Red professes to Liz in Season 2 Episode 16 "Tom Keen" at the end of the episode.

[@raymondreddington9788]

lol im a spoiler but, red is katarina he had gender change and the bones are liz real father the real raymond!

How can we know the DNA report & the truth that Sutton Ross told Liz are true.

[@pearlsandstars829]

This is an absolutely perfect Season 6 trailer!!!! I think we'll find out next week that the bones are Reddington, and we'll be in for a wild Season 6. You're so right: he just has to be an imposter. I would love to see a video that pieces together what happened 25 years ago, with Red's description of his family's deaths on Christmas, the story about the farmer, the night of the fire. I'd love to know, what is your theory about what happened that night? Your editing skills are phenomenal, keep them coming please! (And the music choice was truly perfect.)

[@strawberrypills]

thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video! i solemnly swear that i'll continue making BL videos! to be honest, i don't really have a solid theory about what really happened to our red (if he's really an imposter). although most of the things he had said contradicted the information others have about him. this was the first part of the dialogue of my version 2 video (which i unfortunately deleted). raymond reddington graduated from the naval academy and yet he told niko demakis that that last time he was in a pool was in high school. RESSLER: Raymond “Red” Reddington attended the Naval Academy. Top of his class. Graduated by the time he was 24. He was being groomed for admiral. RED: I was a lifeguard my junior year in high school. I haven’t been in a pool since. NIKO: I’m sorry weren’t you in the Navy? ressler also said that raymond reddington never came home. jennifer also confirmed this saying she had no clue and only found out about his disappearance the following day but based on what red told madeline and the parable of the farmer he told the stewmaker, he actually got home only to see that his family was murdered. RESSLER: Then in 1990, Reddington’s coming home to see his wife and his daughter for Christmas. He never arrives. RED: It was more than 20 years ago. I walked through the door. And there was just blood. All I saw was blood. All there was was blood. JENNIFER: When I went to sleep, my world was perfect, and when I woke up, it was destroyed. My daddy gone. Did he just leave? Was it an accident? We didn’t know. RED (PARABLE OF THE FARMER): Everything that he loved taken from him - his children. diane fowler knew what happened to red's family but red had no clue. DIANE FOWLER: I know the truth, Red. About that night. About what happened to your family. Do you want to know the truth? RED: More than anything in the world. But if you know the truth, Diane, then somebody else does, too. it's not really much of a mystery if he abandoned his family that night and they were sent to witsec the following day (red even met carla in s2 and his reaction to seeing her photo seemed off for me) but it's whole different story if he didn't really abandon them and saw that they were murdered. by whom though? possibly the cabal. why? maybe because he was involved with the real reddington and katarina or maybe he was framed just like what happened to liz at the end of s2. those are some of my thoughts regarding red's past and the imposter theory. let me know what you think!

[@pearlsandstars829]

"i solemnly swear that i'll continue making BL videos!" I'm so glad to hear that, I really love watching your videos!! And I completely agree with you about Carla: she looked shocked when she saw Red, which is strange considering that she was waiting inside that house for him. Also, Red didn't even recognize Jennifer: she had to tell him who she was. The whole point of his conversation with Jennifer was to find Naomi; he doesn't ask her a single question about herself: again, weird, since this is supposedly his long-lost and dearly missed daughter. He asks Liz a dozen questions about herself when he meets her. Even Berlin showed more affection towards his own daughter than Red did towards Jennifer, all of which makes me think that Jennifer is not the ballerina girl blowing bubbles in Red's home film and that Red may never have even met Jennifer before. My (admittedly far-fetched) theory is this: I wonder if it’s possible that “Raymond Reddington” was an alias used by American spies, just like “Katerina Rostova” was an alias used by Russian spies. Remember when Liz asked an OREA agent about any info on Katerina Rostova, and he said it wasn’t one person but "Probably an amalgamation of a half-a-dozen unknown female Soviet operatives- the Pinko Mata Hari.” So “Katerina Rostova” may have been used simultaneously by several top notch spies that worked together. “Raymond Reddington" could be the same. I think there were two American intelligence operatives that worked together and both used that alias simultaneously: the Red we know, and the Reddington who was Liz’s biological father and who died the night of the fire. The other likely option was that “Reddington” was not an alias, that he did exist, and that he was foreign intelligence work partners with the Red we know, and that Red stole his identity after his death. But however they began, at some point, all three (Katerina, Reddington, and Red) decided to work together to collect dirt on the Cabal. The very first thing that Red says to Liz is that she was “abandoned by a father who was a career criminal, a mother who died of weakness and shame.” Let’s focus on Katerina first: if she died of “shame,” then she must have done something terrible. All three worked together, but Katerina must have betrayed the other two, or at the very least, told someone dangerous that “Reddington" had the Fulcrum. (Liz remembers a fight between Reddington and Katerina, in which Katerina admits to “telling them” and putting Reddington in danger. It was a memory that may not have happened the night of the fire.) But which Reddington? The Cabal must have known there were two people using that name, and tried to assassinate both. All of which brings us to Red, driving home on Christmas Eve to see his family, having no clue about the taking of or the location of the Fulcrum, or that he was in any type of danger, only to find his family murdered by the assassins sent for him. Reeling from the death of his family, he must have reached out to Reddington, to warn him to get his family out of harm’s way. Instead, Reddington cared only about saving himself, and abandoned both his wife Carla, his daughter Jennifer (thus going missing and never coming home on Christmas,) as well as abandoning his mistress Katerina as well as Liz. Otherwise why would Reddington say that Liz was “abandoned" by a father who was a career criminal? Sam was a small time criminal but never abandoned her. Red never abandoned her either. If Reddington was the man who took Liz with him and kept her with him until the fire, the way Liz remembers it, how did he "abandon" her? Unless, Reddington did abandon her, and Red realized this, and was faced with “a Hobson’s choice: I could either save one or lose both,” it was either Liz or Katerina. Now, I think he was in love with Katerina, but he suspected she had betrayed him, not to mention he was still reeling from losing his own little girl, so he went for Liz (who he knew through Reddington, knew that she lived with her father now in the U.S.) So Red was the man who extracted her and placed her in a safe house, and Liz accidentally took the Fulcrum with her, forcing Reddington to come back and look for her, or at least, the bunny that he hid it in. The night of the fire, Reddington, not Katerina, may have come looking for the Fulcrum, because he was the only one who knew it was there, in the bunny Liz never left behind. (The psychologist who attempted the memory retrieval told Liz that her memories were altered, or at least the people who were there may have had different roles.) Then Red and Reddington get into a fight, and Liz picks up the gun and saves Red by shooting and killing Reddington, thus giving Red "a second chance" to life. And from there, per parable of the farmer, “from a pit of despair, a life’s work erupts from his knotted mind:” to repay the favor and save and protect Elizabeth at all costs. So the whole secret was that "Reddington" was an alias for two people, that Red actually survived the assassination attempt against him, and then warned Reddington to run before they could get to him, but that Reddington died anyway, and that Red had to pretend to be the Reddington that took and still has the Fulcrum.

[@strawberrypills]

part of me thinks that it was katarina who asked our red to take the identity of the real raymond reddington and take care of liz/masha as his own (the hobson's choice he made). that he was the last person she talked to before she disappeared out into the ocean. hence the reason why red knew about cape may and why he had such a vivid hallucination of her. but in order for liz to survive, red needed resources and he can't expand his empire if he has a liability. so he place liz in kaplan's care. although there's a conundrum there because kaplan said that it was red who gave liz to her to take care of but in her memories it was katarina. now i know there's a "red is katarina" theory floating around somewhere and it has some points to it but i think it's really out of character for both our red and katarina so i really don't consider it.

[@pearlsandstars829]

That's an excellent point: Katerina could have asked Red to take care of Liz after the fire happened. He loved Katerina, and it would explain Red's extreme dedication to Liz starting right after Katerina died. However, I don't think that Katerina called Red like she called Kate when she was at Cape May and here's why: Red goes to Cape May to take the other door, to choose the other option of the Hobson's choice. I don't think that Red got to speak to her. Red goes to Cape May to "do what he never did": to help save Katerina from the agents pursuing her, and to tell her things that he never got to say to her, which is why he has to explain to her why he chose Elizabeth. If Katerina had asked him to choose Elizabeth, that conversation would have gone differently, and he wouldn't feel the need to explain himself. In the end, in this hallucination, he is really speaking to himself: even after everything that happened, he tells himself he made the right choice. This was a cathartic hallucination brought about by his drug use and extreme guilt: guilt from not only not helping Katerina, but also never even explaining to Katerina why he didn't come and help her. If Katerina chose Elizabeth for him, it wouldn't have been such a Hobson's choice, because it really wouldn't have been Red's choice: it would have been Katerina's choice that Red felt he had to honor. The Hobson's choice was such an interesting line, and I really can't tell if he had to make this choice before the fire (when he was extremely pressed for time, knew that it was only a matter of minutes/hours before Reddington, Katerina and Liz were about to be reached by the assassins sent for everyone involved with the Fulcrum, and felt he had to try to save them before they perished like his own family,) or if he had to make the Hobson's choice after the fire happened, and he had to choose whether to protect Liz or her mother. Although the second option doesn't make much sense, as Liz was already placed with Sam right after the fire. I think that in the fire, Red gets Liz out but suffers extreme burns, leaving him with no choice but to call Katerina and hand the child off to her, which is why Katerina was the one that dropped Liz off with Kaplan. Maybe Reddington tried to kill him in that fire, which revealed that Reddington was the one behind the whole Fulcrum theft, when Red initially suspected Katerina to be the one behind it. So when Reddington tried to kill him, he knew it wasn't Katerina, and felt it was safe to trust her with Liz, even if he still partially blamed her for what happened to his own family: after all, we know for sure that Katerina exposed the fact that the Fulcrum went missing. This part of the story is still so very murky though; we have very little info here and can just guess. In either case, I think that in the beginning, the writers never intended to make Kaplan such an important part of the story (and personally, I think it was a mistake that they did,) which is why they retconned the story of Red dropping Liz off with Sam to Katerina and then Kaplan. They have retconned before, when in the pilot Liz says that the fire happened when she was 14, and then they changed it to 4. (Personally, I hate retconning: I think a truly great story is planned out by the writers, and they have to stick to their story.) But I think there's no chance whatsoever of the Red = Katerina theory. Since Katerina's disappearance made the newspapers, I'm sure everyone found out that she committed suicide, it's something that Red would have heard from his underground contacts too if her Russian handlers thought she did as well. So he didn't need to speak to her to know what happened at Cape May.

[@gtrDan1963]

Brilliant editing to lay the groundwork for not only the season 5 finale, but a great lead-in for season 6, as well. I came to 2 conclusions earlier this season : (1:) Red's an impostor and the bones are the real Raymond Reddington & (2 :) The bones are actually Tom Keen, who was killed by a doppelganger sent by Red to infiltrate Liz's life and keep her in check. I had hoped Mary Louise Parker's character would have returned to really make things interesting and fill in some gaps, but alas, she's gone... The ironic thing would be if the bones were actually Katarina as the "obvious" clues lead us to believe. I would truly hate to see the relationship between Red & Liz dissolve, as it's really the backbone of the series, but things are probably going to wrap up next season (if there is a season 6) and drastic reveals have to take place. Anyhow, brilliantly assembled.

I still can't believe it, let me tell you. And I am so confused but i love it. Wow!! I am planning on watching all the seasons again, but this is really amazing.

[@titchlilly1294]

Absolutely chilling what a great video. Superb.

[@An-gg2ne]

when he said he is not her father, he might have meant though, that he is only the biological father but not the one who raised her. the way he cares about her, im sure he is her father in blood.

[@josefkilberger6930]

Yes

[@eccomz]

Very good video! The editing and sound effects are movie trailer quality. Makes me think it is a movie trailer.

[@samihelftouhi5888]

The truth doesn't matter at all guys reddington is just a name it doesn't make him less cool he is still the amazing gangster

[@dmarcifame1814]

i can't keep it to myself. i gotta say, i really love this video. it gave me chills as i watch it. gives me more chills the more that i watch it. this video feels so intense! i love it! it makes me look differently when binge - watching the blacklist! so excited for the next season. we're getting closer to the truth. (hopefully)

[@David-cb6bd]

I don't know who you are or where you came from, but that was one of the most amazing montages I have ever seen. The timed cuts, the audio/visual overlays, the music, the build up... and in the beauty of it all, reveals a much darker perspective to the show and it is glorious.

[@jazzcookmusic5677]

This is a very intense clip! Ready for the new season (NBC says it will kick off in January)!

[@inmysoul_TLH]

The end cut of “We know the truth” really has meaning now that the show is over and they think they can pretend the story was one way when we really know it was another way!!

[@mariaendim10]

WOW! Excellent video! Great editing!

[@strawberrypills]

thank you!!!! i'm glad you liked it!!

[@alok26k68]

I hope we get a flashback into Elizabeth's memory of her fathers face.

[@Tapiola666]

The Blacklist is pretty much my favorite tv show and this "trailer" is fucking awesome. Hands down one of the best ones I've seen.

[@NICKEYBLACK35]

I personally think the twist is stupid. Ray goes thru mad shit to save Liz numerous of times to keep concealed that he's an imposter? It makes no sense. There were moments where Red could've died, and at one point it didn't have shit to do with a bag of bones. I love the show, but this twist kinda plays on my intelligence. After easily running thru the Blacklister's, now they need something a little more interesting before their show becomes repetitive and stupid like The Walking Dead.

[@bigtoken90]

I thought it was also at first but I re watched the show they really have been dropping hints this entire time

[@yt-sh]

he loved her

[@WhiteFyre]

First off: I really don’t like the twist that he’s not Reddington, BUT he really really really loves Liz, so I think he IS her biological father, regardless whether or not he’s actually Red. Second: I don’t think Liz and Jennifer are biologically sisters. Red didn’t seem to care much for her. The difference between how Red feels for Liz and how he feels for Jen is stark and very telling. Third: if Red ain’t Red, then I got no clue who he is. But he’s gotta be Liz’s biological dad. Great video btw!

[@tacomartinez9469]

Yes! That'd exactly what I think!

[@MIHUKI5]

First, Red isn't actually Red, he's Illya Koslov, a Cabal member who had a relationship with Katarina. Second, I think he really really really loves Liz not only because he had a relationship with Katarina but also because he promised to take care of her daughter. Third, Illya doesn't care Jennifer because she's not a Katarina's daughter.

[@alexa4673]

@@MIHUKI5 I have a different theory the bones are actually Ilyas since he became red and red knew about this/figured it out and killed Ilya and took the imposter identity if that makes sense maybe its too far fetched but it can still make sense unless Sutton Rose gave Elizabeth the wrong DNA results and altered them because in reality he also didn't want Liz to know the truth not to mention Dom lied to Liz, red said that Dom lied to Liz and didn't tell her the full story , or red was actually working with ilya the whole entire time

[@MIHUKI5]

@@alexa4673 Your theory's not possible, but I won't tell you why since you might not have seen the last episodes of the last season.

[@MySpartans11]

I’m from the future and can say with 100 accuracy that Ilya Koslov is not Red

[@loluajayi]

Great video this. Didn't want it to end

[@peteraju84]

This is so well done. Absolutely amazing.

[@alfonsogutierrez1392]

Imposter is an alternative spelling of the same noun. Impostor is the proper spelling of this word, but imposter has also appeared frequently for several centuries.

[@KB-vg8bt]

Very powerful - very well done. A new favorite!

[@dlemmuh]

First off, great edit. Second, Im glad im not the only one who thinks he is not the Real "Red"

[@barbarasmith6414]

Dlemmuh You are not alone. When Tom open that envelope, the look in his face said it all and I knew that Raymond "Red" Reddington was "NOT" Liz father👍

[@dlemmuh]

Barbara Jean Smith True, but here's the thing. He is Liz dad. Once he took the identity of the real RED he then had his fling with Liz mom. See, I think that Fake RED came across Real RED at some point and that's the real reason he left the wife and child.

[@MWGScorp]

Well, he is probably the real "Red", just not the real Raymond Reddington.

[@frankhastings4852]

He may not be the real Red, but he is Liz's father proved by DNA test.

[@haiphonggeyser9653]

maybe he is fake but i'm pretty sure that he is Liz's father, (the ADN test). He proteced Liz even he could be hurt, he turned his car even he lost the case....

[@jenniferrose1203]

Wow. Just wow. You put this together!? Like..... Seriously????? Incredible. I saw some things that I haven't seen yet because season 5 hasn't come out in Netflix in Canada yet..... Like Tom dying. Didn't know that.which really blows. But whatevs. You did an amazing job editing this.

Red!!! I cannot sleep because of all the questions on my mind 😭

[@wizz_pubg711]

Finally someone you can feel me 🤦🤦

[@janesimon5700]

I’ve been pondering that the real Reddington might be dead for quite some time now. Im glad I’m not the only one who’s thinking this

[@ashleybuffa7971]

Amazing video! My theory after watching the season finale: The real Raymond Reddington is obviously dead, he’s the bag of bones. The imposter is Reddingtons brother. He has burns on his body & was somehow involved in the fire. Being brothers they look very similar for photos from 25+ years ago. This would also explain how the imposter had to leave HIS family (the new daughter) so suddenly, to take on his brothers identity. Liz’s DNA test could’ve just been to prove they are related.

Omg!!! This was such a good video!!! As much as it sucks that this "so called Raymond Reddington" isn't Liz's dad and he actually is an imposter and we still don't know his connection to Liz this video was so intense but very true..
