"Luther Braxton" is the ninth episode of the second season of the television series ''The Blacklist'', which aired on February 1, 2015 after NBC concluded coverage of Super Bowl XLIX. It is the first part of a two-part episode which concluded on February 5, 2015. The Blacklist number for the episode is No. 21. ==Plot== News broadcasts highlight the military's capture of Reddington (James Spader), whose whereabouts are undisclosed to the public. Reddington has been placed in "The Factory", a high-security prison in the middle of the Bering Sea. Reddington bribes a prison guard (Scott A. Martin) with $50,000 in order to free Red, since Factory inmate Luther Todd Braxton (Ron Perlman) is anticipated to escape and kill Red. Assistant Director Cooper (Harry Lennix) meets with high-level NCS members Kat Goodson (Janel Moloney) and her unnamed superior (David Strathairn), who has replaced Alan Fitch as the NCS' board director. They inform Cooper of the situation, prompting him to dispatch agents Keen (Megan Boone), Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) and Navabi (Mozhan Marno) to the Factory and extract Reddington. The three are ambushed by Braxton's men upon arrival, with Ressler and Samar being captured while Liz is able to escape. Meanwhile, Braxton breaks out of his cell and assembles a team of criminals. Liz reunites with Reddington, who tells her he didn't want her here. Reddington explains that he planned his arrest to stop Braxton from obtaining "The Fulcrum", a hard drive containing highly confidential information on national security. The Fulcrum is not in the prison, but Braxton believes Red has it. Red and Liz meet with a group of factory inmates to plan their attack. One man advises that they go to the boiler room and cause an explosion that will destroy the Factory's server. Braxton calls Reddington over the phone and the two have a brief but confrontational talk before parting ways. Braxton is looking to get the codes used to access the Factory's servers, which Goodson is determined to prevent. The FBI attempts to negotiate with Braxton, who responds by executing the warden (John Ventimiglia) and threatening to have Samar hanged. Cooper reluctantly gives the code to Braxton, who accompanies his men to the servers and gains access. Braxton and his crew access the server room and using the code, access the system. Liz and Red arrive at the boiler room and increase the pressure in the boilers until an explosion occurs, incapacitating Red and causing Braxton to lose connection with the servers. Liz attempts to resuscitate Red, but ends up getting captured and taken to Braxton. Elsewhere, the NCS director is urged by his coworkers to have Braxton eliminated, and in response, orders Goodson to deploy an air strike on the facility. Reddington wakes up and brandishes a shotgun, making his way through the prison until he arrives at Braxton, shooting his men down and subduing him. Braxton begins to explain how he knows about Red and Liz's history in the house fire, how Red "came for Liz" and that Liz is "the one". Red urges Liz to shoot Braxton, but the missile strike hits the prison. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luther Braxton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
