The Blacklist Season 10 Ending Explained
Hudson was killed instantly, while Red managed to shoot Ressler multiple times, but Ressler's body armor protected him from serious injury. Red rushed Dembe to a hospital and selflessly volunteered for a blood transfusion to save his life. Fortunately, Dembe survived the operation and his wound.
However, when the authorities arrived, Red had mysteriously vanished. It was later revealed that Red's health condition prevented him from being a suitable blood donor. Hudson took advantage of the situation and arrested Dembe, accusing him of aiding and abetting a fugitive for assisting Red.
While Dembe was being transported to headquarters for questioning, a sudden turn of events occurred. Red and his men orchestrated a daring operation, causing a chaotic scene as they crashed their vehicles. Amidst the chaos, Hudson shot Dembe in the neck, triggering a chain of events. In response, Red swiftly retaliated by shooting Hudson in the head, ending the tense confrontation.

Blacklist Season 10 Plot
In New York, an explosion occurs near Aram, who spots Reddington, who has been missing for six months. Dembe and Ressler investigate the exploded building, discovering it was a Chinese annex. They find a victim's notebook, which leads them to Pablo Picasso's sculpture, The Night Owl, stored in Montserrat.
The group discovers a black site used by MI-6 and meets Siya, Meera Malik's daughter. Wujing attacks the building to rescue The Freelancer, who later becomes his ally. Reddington reveals he orchestrated the explosion and tells Dembe about his changed security arrangements.
In another operation, Red and Ressler go undercover at a game to connect with The Whaler, who is associated with Wujing. They discover Wujing's plan to launder money and foil it. The Task Force investigates The Four Guns, a group of pickpockets targeting Cynthia Panabaker. They uncover a conspiracy involving a former secret service agent named Lucas Roth.
The team also tackles cases involving a hidden wealth puzzle, a murdered judge, and a prison break orchestrated by Wujing. Reddington plays a game of cat and mouse with The Freelancer and Rogelio, his former partner. The Task Force deals with cybercrime, corruption, smuggling, and assassinations orchestrated by The Postman, Blair Foster, and Wormwood.
Red helps settle a family feud and exposes corruption within a logistics corporation. The Task Force faces an investigation by Arthur Hudson and Senator Dorf. They also discover a secret room in the Capitol tracking politicians. Hudson continues his mission, leading to the shutdown of the Task Force. Red's plane explodes, and he offers Cooper a game of tag.
