Case Profile for The Troll Farmer Parts 2 & 3

Wujing is closing in on the proof he needs to prove Red is working with the FBI. So what does Red do? He hatches a plan so dastardly, so demonic, so dangerous that even I can't come up with more D words.  Instead of stopping Wujing from find proof, just give it to him.  Yep Red literally invites Wu Wu to the front door step of the task force the answers he seeks, or is it?   See red has been building something all year, a fake post office, complete carbon copy down to the last detail. The purpose to draw out Wujing, trap him, and end this war once and for all. 

 

Meanwhile the team is concerned with their Reddington Archives and those are kept safe inside the post office, the real post office, and can only be accessed from onsite.  To gain access one would need a program to hack into the archives and that's where HEXROOT comes in.  A secret malware software buiit by the US Government and now lost to the hands of Bo Chang, The Troll Farmer.   

 

But this biggest twist of the episode isn't that Chang got the device, no.  It is that Change escaped from the fake post office so that the task force would think he would lead WuJing back there.  Instead Chang is working with Red the whole time, Red gives Change the real location, Wujing shows up as expected and Pop Pop go Wu Wu and his henchman thanks to bad ass Red we have all be waiting for.  Reddington then uses Hex Root to wipe the Archives and takes off effectively making him #1 on Cooper's hit list.

Music For The Troll Farmer Parts 2 & 3

Along with a duo of classical pieces in the first hour we hear “Run for Your Life” by Cody Crump which plays immediately after the phone call to Flynn’s wife goes to voicemail, Flynn next checks out the news on the laptop, then rushes over to the hospital.  No songs were featured in the final part of The Troll Farmer.

You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.
