'The Blacklist' season 3 episode 16 recap: A mysterious man holds box of secrets on most notorious criminals in 'The Caretaker'

In Season 3 Episode 16 of “The Blacklist,” it was shown that Red (James Spader) was hiding some vital information from Liz (Megan Boone), particularly about her mother. The two meet a mysterious man called The Caretaker who keeps a safety deposit box holding information on various criminals.

At the start of the episode, Tom (Ryan Eggold) was featured getting better from the previous attack which almost cost him his life. Liz said yes to his marriage proposal. Liz shared the news to Red, as well as her plan to keep the baby, but the latter was not so happy about her decision.

The blacklister in the episode, titled “The Caretaker,” was a secretive man who keeps special information about criminals in a safety deposit box. The character was played by Reg E. Cathey and it was shown that one official was murdered in Beijing because of him.

Red eventually acquired information leading Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) and Samar (Mozhan Marno) to a cemetery, where they discovered The Caretaker inside a dug up grave. The blacklister actually uses the bodies in the cemetery to keep his secrets.

The Caretaker shared that he revealed one secret that led to the death of the official because someone who kidnapped his daughter blackmailed him into giving up the information. The Caretaker was also ordered to uncover another secret involving the German government hiding a terrorist attack. The team has to locate his daughter or have the secret revealed to keep her alive.

Meanwhile, Liz visits Velov, a man who has information about her mother. Liz also went to Velov’s daughter and read a letter where she discovered that her mother is alive and Red lied to her.

Two terrorists were also able to enter the country with explosives and a cargo truck. The team managed to disarm the bomb and apprehend the suspects.

Afterwards, Red was able to determine the location of the kidnappers. The task force raided the venue and was able to save The Caretaker’s daughter. Later, it turned out that The Caretaker’s daughter had herself kidnapped to expose her father, since the latter is not truly her father. All of the Caretaker’s information were placed under the control of the FBI.

The next episode of "The Blacklist," titled "Mr Solomon," airs April 7.
