"It's called the Blacklist. That sounds exciting! That's why we're all here, of course.
My wish list, a list I've been cultivating for over 20 years. Politicians, mobsters, hackers, spies.
I’m talking about the criminals who matter. The ones you can’t find, because you don’t even know they exist."

The Blacklist

1. Elizabeth Keen

Born in Moscow, Russia as Masha Rostova, Elizabeth Keen, at the age of 4, was involved in a traumatic incident in which she shot and killed her father, the real Raymond Reddington, to stop him from attacking her mother, Katarina Rostova, then she moved to Nebraska and was raised by Sam Millhoan. She had been with the FBI for 6 years and was head of the mobile emergency psych unit in New York before she is asked by Harold Cooper to join a special taskforce. She is also revealed to have a degree in forensic psychology and graduated from Quantico. At about the same time she joined the FBI, she met Tom Keen and later married him. Elizabeth has a mysterious and traumatic past: her wrist bears a large scar from a fire she was trapped in as a child, and her only memory of her biological father is of him rescuing her from the fire. Reddington admitted to blocking her memories of the fire. She eventually regains her memory of the event when she killed her father to protect her mother. Reddington had been trying to protect her from the knowledge when he blocked her memories. She is the only person with whom Reddington is willing to work. She has yet to learn why, but he has told her that it has something to do with her missing father. She develops a bond with Reddington as they continue to work together. The Director indicates there is a close personal connection between Liz and Red but refuses to tell her what it is. Her once-idyllic marriage to Tom Keen unraveled as she discovered evidence that he was not the man he appeared to be. After she found out he was an agent hired by Berlin to keep her under surveillance, she had the marriage annulled. She kept Tom imprisoned on an abandoned ship for several months, interrogating him. Eventually, she was forced to let him go in exchange for Berlin's location after he murdered a harbormaster, Eugene Ames. Local police investigated Ames' murder and had enough evidence to arrest Liz for her involvement; but she was saved by the intervention of Reddington, Cooper, then-assistant AG Connolly, and Tom himself. She also learned that she was the key to unlocking the mysteries of the Fulcrum and that she had unknowingly had the Fulcrum itself in her possession since childhood. With the help of Leonard Caul, she deciphered the Fulcrum's contents and confronted the Director with them. She was then unknowingly infected with a customized biological weapon by the Cabal and tricked into infecting their target, Senator Hawkins. The Cabal then framed her for Hawkins's assassination and for being a Russian spy. After shooting Tom Connolly upon learning of his involvement with the faking of Cooper's cancer and the Cabal's sinister intentions for the other agents on the task force, Elizabeth is a fugitive on the FBI's Most Wanted List. To evade capture by the FBI, she sought asylum at the Russian embassy, identifying herself as Masha Rostova and pretending to be a Russian spy. Red and Liz go on the run together but after a while Liz is captured by Ressler and Liz is locked in the task force's cell as Ressler tries to protect her until she can testify. The Director and Laurel Hitchin attempt to prevent this by transferring Liz to an undisclosed location due to her supposedly having terrorist connections and then suffocating her when Aram changes the box's door code. Liz is nearly transferred, but the White House Counsel can prevent it and Ressler returns to transfer her to the courthouse. Liz spends the night in a cell protected by Ressler which keeps the Cabal from reaching her, but Laurel plots to have her assassinated as she's moved. Liz is later taken before a judge where she faces multiple charges that each come with a death sentence, including sixteen counts of murder. Laurel tries to have Liz assassinated but is forced to call off her attempt by Red who captures the Director and threatens to turn him over to the World Court. With the help of Marvin Gerard, Red makes a deal with Laurel for her to publicly exonerate Liz on all but Tom Connolly's murder. In that case, Liz had to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter and would get three years' probation. Though she would be free, Liz could never return to the FBI. Liz reluctantly took the deal in the end as Red ensured she'd remain part of the task force as an asset like him. Liz was publicly exonerated by Laurel while Karakurt was taken into custody and exposed as the man who had committed the terrorist acts Liz had been framed for. Liz has difficulty adjusting to no longer being an FBI agent. After being beaten up by a man who thought she was a traitor, she is hospitalized and discovers she is pregnant. She accepts Tom's marriage proposal, hoping to start a family with him. Liz and Tom's wedding ceremony is interrupted by Mr. Solomon, who pursues them relentlessly. Liz is injured during the chase, forcing Reddington's doctor to perform an emergency C-section to save her baby. Liz dies due to complications with the C-section and the inability to reach a hospital on time. But Liz is revealed to be alive, her death having been faked by Kaplan to protect her and Agnes. Liz is reunited with Tom and Agnes in Cuba, but is captured by Alexander Kirk's men. After all this Red can secure a Presidential pardon for Liz's killing of Connolly, allowing Cooper to reinstate her as an FBI agent. Later she finds out that Reddington is an imposter. That was the secret that Tom found out and got killed for. She is determined to find out who Red really is. Liz tracks down her grandfather Dominic Wilkinson with the help of Ressler and finally learns much of the truth about Reddington and her mother from him. Liz learns that the man she shot as a child was, in fact, the real Reddington and she killed him. Dom tells Liz about her mother and her history with Ilya Koslov, the man who became Reddington to protect Katarina. Dom states that 28 years before, her mother had promised to send him a letter to a post office box when she was safe, but he has never gotten one despite checking every week. Liz later flies to Hong Kong and reveals to Reddington that she knows the truth about who he really is, but he refuses to answer her questions about why he continued being Reddington after gaining access to all of his money. After Red kills Katarina in front Liz's eyes, Liz is on a war path and determined to go after Red so she can finally learn the truth about her life and why he is in it. She becomes #1 on the Blacklist and plots against Reddington. Red tells Dembe that he only wants Liz found, not necessarily caught. Dembe suggests that Red killing Katarina in front of Liz was part of his plan to groom Liz to take over his empire, but Red admits that he never had a plan going in. In the end, Liz manages to rob Red of 35 million euros which is approximately $41,000,000. And again Liz is on the run and this time she takes her daughter Agnes with her.


3. Katarina Rostova

Katarina Rostova is a former KGB agent who used to work in Foreign Intelligence and the mother of Elizabeth Keen. Trained by her father, Katarina was assigned with the mission of seducing and spying on Raymond Reddington. Also, at an unknown time, Katarina became a double agent for the Cabal and started to work directly for Alan Fitch, betraying the KGB. The real Raymond Reddington, Liz’s father, took Liz from her and fled. Katarina gave up everything to follow her lover and her daughter. When she finally found them, she and Raymond began arguing. The argument escalated into a physical confrontation that resulted in Liz shooting her father to protect her mother. Katarina and her childhood friend Ilya Koslov pulled Reddington from the fire in an attempt to save his life, but failed and Reddington died. She then have up Liz to protect her. Constantin Rostov, Katarina’s husband, told Elizabeth that Katarina and Raymond had an affair which she at some point ended. Upset, Raymond allegedly took Liz from her parents. Depressed that the child she adored killed the only man that she ever loved, Katarina was never the same again. Two months later she went to Cape May, New Jersey, left her clothes on the beach and walked into the sea. Most people in the intelligence community believe that Katarina Rostova never existed. Several CIA agents viewed her as a Soviet Mata Hari whose career had been glorified for propaganda reasons. She was a myth and had been a cover identity for numerous female Soviet operatives. However, there have been signs that Katarina Rostova faked her own death. Anton Velov was tasked with hunting her down and tracked her to a hotel in Prague. When Anton came, he found that she had left the hotel in a hurry but forgot to take the picture of Masha with her. In Rassvet”, it is confirmed that she faked her death by walking into the sea due to the numerous people after her. After Katarina intervened to stop a rape, she realized that Anton Velov would hear of it and know she was still alive. Hunted by Velov and his men, Ilya took on the identity of Raymond Reddington to protect them both and to keep Reddington from being discredited. Katarina met her father when he made it to America himself and promised to send him a letter via a post office box when it was safe for her again. According to Dom, he checked the box every week for 28 years and never once received word from Katarina. As such, Dom isn’t sure she’s still alive, believing that she would have contacted him if she was. A little later it is confirmed that Katarina is alive and is living in Paris. Red tracks her down and finds her walking on a dark street. Katarina kisses him, and then stabs him with a syringe. A van pulls up and takes Red away. Katarina brutally interrogates Red for information on an unnamed group that is pursuing her. After Red escapes to Dom's house, Katarina makes an unsuccessful attempt to recapture him. She then moves into an apartment across the hall from Liz, posing as Madeleine Tolliver, a friendly retiree with an estranged daughter. She begins insinuating herself into Liz's life, installing surveillance devices in Liz's apartment and babysitting Agnes. While taking Agnes to the park, she inadvertently allows Agnes to see the dead body of an assailant she killed. Using knowledge gleaned from her surveillance, she finds and kidnaps "Frank Bloom", addressing him as Ilya Koslov and torturing him for information on an attempt on her life he helped engineer years ago in Belgrade. After Liz discovers "Madeleine" is an imposter and confronts her at gunpoint, Katarina admits she is Liz's mother. Katarina abducts Liz and tells her that Frank Bloom, not Reddington, is the real Ilya Koslov, and that both Red and Dom are lying. Liz helps her escape when the FBI closes in on her location. Red is tailing Katarina when a car runs into her vehicle and two assassins shoot her and drag away the body. It is later revealed that Katarina faked her own death to convince Red to stop hunting her. She contacts Liz, promising to return when she has found out who is pursuing her. Liz finds Katarina’s file amongst those of the Orion Relocation Services and puts together who she really is based on the events surrounding her nanny and various comments Katarina has made to her. Liz confronts her mother in her apartment with a gun and Katarina drops the act when Liz reveals she knows who Katarina really is and what she has done. Liz threatens to kill Katarina for all of the pain she has caused and asks for one good reason not to. Katarina reminds Liz that she is Liz’s mother as Liz struggles with whether or not to pull the trigger. Liz learns from Katarina that Dom lied to her about Red’s true identity. Red later brings word to Liz that Katarina was gunned down by two agents in the middle of the street who took her body to collect the bounty on her head, but Katarina calls Liz to reveal that she faked her death (again). Katarina states that she now needs to lay low for awhile, but promises to return some day soon to finish what she started. Liz promises to keep her mother’s secret and tells Katarina to stay safe. Liz and Katarina work together to reveal Red's real identity and bring him down.When it comes down to a confrontation between Red and Katarina, Red shoots her in front of Elizabeth. This time she is really dead. (for as far as we know.)


4. Mr. Kaplan

Kathryn Nemec has worked for Raymond Reddington for 20-30 years, having officially been missing as of 1991. Known only by her alias "Mr. Kaplan", her first name was revealed to be Kate. She is Reddington's personal "cleaner" who comes into scrub crime scenes. She helps Reddington clean up after he kills Diane Fowler. She also disposed the bodies of Lucy Brooks and the Cowboy after they are found by Reddington's people. When Kate was younger, she was hired by Katarina Rostova to be Liz's nanny. She became friends with Katarina after discovering she was a Soviet spy and learned that she was having an affair with Red. When Katarina was forced to flee and abandon her daughter, Kaplan left Liz with her foster father, Sam. Later, she fell in love with a woman named Annie Kaplan, and assumed her surname after Annie was murdered in front of her. She then joined Reddington's employ to protect Liz, on the understanding that she would always place Liz's interests ahead of his. Mr. Kaplan faked Liz's death with the knowledge and help of Liz, Tom and Nik to help Liz and her daughter escape Red's lifestyle. Red finds out that Mr. Kaplan faked Liz's death after an associate of him tells him that Mr. Kaplan made arrangements for Tom and Agnes to leave the country. Red demands that Mr. Kaplan tells him where Tom and Agnes are and tells her that Alexander Kirk is after them. Then Mr. Kaplan reveals that Liz is still alive and is with Tom and Agnes. She is shot in the head by Red but survives. An unknown man who lives in the forest takes her back to his cabin and he nurses her back to health but he does hold her captive in his cabin. After she recovers she finds a way to escape the cabin. Because of what Red did to her, she exhumes all the bodies she buried for Reddington over the years, intending to use them to destroy him. Kaplan hires Philomena, a bounty hunter, to kidnap two of Reddington's subordinates, including Marvin Gerard. She tells Liz that she was her nanny, and warns Liz not to get involved in the fight between her and Red. After that Kaplan calls a temporary truce with the FBI to find Liz after the latter is kidnapped. She tracks down Liz, only to learn that Red engineered the kidnapping to draw her out. When she confronts him, she declares that it is impossible for the two of them to coexist. Seeing no other way out Kaplan attacks the task force, first attempting to steal a copy of Red's immunity agreement with the DOJ and give it to Julian Gale. When Red foils this plan, Kaplan agrees to testify about Red's crimes to a grand jury. Before doing so, she exhumes a suitcase containing the skeleton of an unknown person. After the grand jury is dissolved through Red's machinations, Kaplan is cornered by the FBI and Red. Red admits his remorse for trying in the first place, but she tells him that she has arranged for an accomplice to give Liz "the truth" after her death, then she commits suicide. Afterwards, her accomplice, revealed to be Tom Keen, picks up the suitcase, presumably to deliver to Liz.


5. Ivan Stepanov

Ivan Stepanov is a Russian spymaster that works for the SVR and the Zaslon subunit, where he was responsible for running black operations. A protegee of Dominic Wilkinson, Stepanov has been a longtime friend and ally to Raymond Reddington and is the former handler of Katarina Rostova. He and Reddington are part of a select few with access and knowledge to a blackmail file known as the Sikorsky Archive.


6. The Osterman Umbrella Company

The Osterman Company is an organization of highly trained assassins that has existed since the Cold War. They are hired by government intelligence agencies to eliminate their own agents and operatives who are deemed traitors or compromised in some way. That way, the agencies do not risk damaging their morale or straining the loyalty of its officers by killing their own employees. The Osterman Company operates through a network of operatives spread all around the world and execute most of their contracts on foreign soil. Raymond Reddington has credited the Osterman Company for the assassinations of at least 1 FSB agent and 1 MI6 operative. In the past, when Katarina Rostova betrayed the KGB for the Cabal, the KGB hired the Osterman Company to kill Katarina. In present day, Levi Shur, who works for Mossad and was once in a relationship with Samar, contracts the Osterman Umbrella Company to assassinate Samar after learning that she has suffered damage to her memory. He thinks she is going to become a liability. The Company is sending someone take her out while she’s on vacation with Aram, in the middle of rural Pennsylvania with no cell reception. An Osterman mercenary dressed like a ski bunny calls Aram on their cabin’s landline to get him to the front office because his credit card isn’t working, and once he’s out of the way, shows up at Samar’s door under the guise of being stranded. Osterman’s assassination weapon of choice is a ring that, once the jewel is removed, reveals a stabbing spike. One knick from that thumbtack-size poisoned point, and the victim’s eyes glaze over like marbles, falling dead immediately thereafter. Samar clocks her with a pot before she can even swivel her little ring, already aware that something must be up. They fight and during the tussle, the woman manages to cut herself, her eyes glass over, and she dies. Red finds out that is was Levi who ordered the hit on Samar and demands him to call it off. When they find out the hit didn't take place and Samar is still out there, Levi is killed by Red in revenge for Samar.


7. Tom Keen

Thomas Vincent Keen, born Christopher Hargrave is Elizabeth's husband, an elementary school teacher who turns out to be a covert operative working for Berlin. When first confronted by Elizabeth, Tom asserts to her that he was assigned to protect her, and that Reddington "is not who she thinks he is". Elizabeth shoots him and stages his death, but keeps him prisoner on a boat for several months in order to extract as much information as possible. When she is nearly discovered by the harbor master, Tom saves her by strangling him to death; as a token of gratitude, she lets Tom escape. Tom later meets with Red and their conversation reveals a previous working relationship. Apparently, Tom was recruited at the age of 14 (he was then known as Jacob Phelps) by a blacklister known as The Major due to the combination of sociopathy and extreme talent, to be groomed for covert operations. Red acquired him from The Major in order to insert him into Elizabeth's life, but when Berlin found out, he doubled Reddington's price. After his escape, Tom utilizes The Major for a new covert operation as a neo-Nazi drug and arms dealer in Dresden named Christof Mannheim, but not before calling Elizabeth; he appears to have developed genuine feelings for her during their "marriage", which seems to complicate matters for both The Major and Reddington, as it was the reason behind his killing the harbor master on Elizabeth's boat. When Elizabeth nearly gets subpoenaed for the harbor master's murder, Reddington and Ressler attempt to extradite Tom from Germany so he can clear her name; Tom initially refuses, but then appears in court and willfully surrenders. With the help of Assistant Attorney General, Tom Connolly, Reddington helps Tom and Elizabeth sweep the whole event under the rug; Elizabeth is cleared while Tom "never existed". The Major, seeing Tom as a liability after this affair, tries to shoot Tom but the Germans intercept them; Tom bargains for their lives and they both manage to escape, but The Major is still set to have Tom killed. Desperate, Tom hides at Elizabeth's place and pleads her to give him his passports; in exchange, she convinces him to tell her the truth about his relationship with Reddington, then reveals that she had always known that on some level, Tom's love for her and their life together was genuine. He later tells Liz of his dream to become a fisherman and urges her to come with him to Japan to start a new life with each other, but she declines, telling him that she needs to finish what she's started. After Liz kills Tom Connolly and becomes one of the FBI's most wanted, Tom departs on his boat to Japan to begin his new life. After he finds out that Liz killed Tom Connolly and is on the run, he comes back wishing to help assist him in saving Liz, suspecting the tides are against Red's favor. While waiting for Liz to call him, Tom meets with Cooper and is recruited to help investigate Karakurt. Posing as a hustler, he befriends a wealthy socialite and infiltrates an underground street-fighting ring, where he eventually locates Karakurt. He brings the assassin to Cooper, but the Cabal finds them, forcing all three men to go on the run. Eventually, with Ressler and Cooper's help, he evades the Cabal and delivers Karakurt into federal custody. After Liz is released, Tom proposes marriage to her, but she turns him down, saying that she is too uncertain about the future to accept. Tom is later confronted by Red who warns him to stay away from Liz, after the actions he pulled when he ignored his first warning that led to this. After Liz's death, he tells Red to stay away from Agnes and blames him for his failure to protect her. Samar visits Tom in the hospital who has been having a hard time raising Agnes alone and offers to help him. Tom is later recruited again by Cooper to keep an eye on Cynthia Panabaker and he discovers more that confirms Cooper's suspicion. Visiting Cooper in the post office, he is able to confirm the woman that Panabaker had a meeting looks like Liz's mother, Katarina. After that Tom is forced to work with Mattais Solomon and Susan Hargrave, the people responsible for Liz's death to get at Alexander Kirk, the man who ordered the attack. During the mission, Tom shoots Solomon in revenge, but Solomon seemingly gets away after Tom leaves. Tom later goes after Susan before Red calls him to stop Tom. Red reveals that Tom is in fact Christopher Hargrave, Susan's long-missing son. Moments later, Susan enters and tells him about her son, how he disappeared twenty-eight years earlier when he was three years old and she always hopes to see him again. On Red's advice, Tom doesn't let Susan know he's her son but doesn't kill her for Agnes' sake. Tom searches for the truth about his true parentage and why he disappeared years ago, after reading the death of his father, Howard Hargrave. His search leads to a mother whose son made Tom disappear and procures a confession from him. Tom discovers his father, Howard, is alive and being held in a mental hospital. He also learns that Susan had faked Howard's death and had an ulterior motive for Halcyon. This led to Tom convincing Nez to side with him as they try to uncover the truth of the secret Susan had been hiding the whole time concerning Whitehall. Solomon tries to stop Tom and Nez, claiming that Susan was set up by Howard and had no knowledge on it. After all of that Tom doesn't want to have anything to do with his parents and he leaves his mother's company. After the showdown between Red and Kaplan an Kaplan's death, Tom found the suitcase Kaplan left in the storage locker and looks inside it. He discovers the skeletal remains of an undisclosed person and closes the suitcase. Tom then takes it with him under Kaplan's orders to deliver the suitcase. For Liz's sake he wants to find out who bones they are and he calls Nik Korpal for help. Nik calls in his collegue Pete to help him and Pete is able to get DNA from the bones and runs a test on them. Because of the test certain people are alerted that the bones are out there and Pete gets kidnapped and Nik gets killed in the process. While Tom investigates who killed Nik and kidnapped Pete, he finally found out who the skeletal remains belong to and the connection she has with Elizabeth. Now realizing the truth, he calls Liz to come home and plans to tell her the truth about her mother along with the fact Red killed Korpal. However, Ian Garvey interferes with his group and attacks the two. Having taken back the bag containing the skeletal remains, he leaves and has a few of his men get rid of Tom and Liz to send a message to Red. Despite Tom's best efforts to fight them off, he is stabbed as Liz loses consciousness. Tom's final words are that Liz will be the one to make it and he dies in the hospital.


8. Berlin

Milos Kirchoff starts out in the Red Army, rises to the rank of Colonel and later becomes a member of the KGB. Notorious for sending his enemies to the gulags in Siberia, he is a loyal servant of the Soviet Union. In 1991, near the end of the Cold War, Kirchhoff takes part in a meeting in Kursk with other Soviet officials on how to combat their more progressive countrymen who want the Soviet Union dissolved. The meeting is interrupted when a bomb goes off, killing 15 attendants and the last of the old Soviet resistance. The act was done by a man named Kiryl Morozov on the orders of Alan Fitch, known as "the Decembrist", but Red is blamed. Shortly after that, Kirchhoff's daughter is suspected of falling in love with a dissident and imprisoned. He uses his connections to help her escape, but the Kremlin found out and decided to use him as an example to the Motherland. He is put in a Siberian gulag where a lot of people he had put away were imprisoned. One day, he is sent a pocket watch he had given his daughter. Over several months, someone sends him several body parts and is led to believe that they were his daughter's and that Red is behind it. In reality, Alan Fitch sends body parts belonging to someone else and helps Kirchoff's daughter escape to the United States. Eventually, Kirchhoff sharpens one of the bones he has been sent into a weapon, kills the people holding him captive and escapes and forms his criminal syndicate under the alias "Berlin". Kirchhoff still believes that Red killed his daughter and he kidnaps Naomi Hyland, Red's ex wife. Red meets with Kirchhoff several times. He agrees to get the money that was stolen from him in exchange that Red gets Naomi back from him unharmed. Kirchhoff once more blames him for his daughter's death and intends to hurt Red by going after Zoe, whom he assumes is Red's daughter. Red reveals that Kirchhoff's daughter is actually alive and someone else in his syndicate had lied to him about her being killed. He is soon reunited with his daughter, who had been living under an assumed name as Zoe D'Antonio. After being reunited with Zoe, Kirchhoff learns the truth of Red's innocence. He kills Kiryl Morozov after learning of Fitch's orders to frame Red and use Kirchoff as a pawn. Using Zoe to gain the access numbers to free Fitch, Red holds Kirchhoff at gunpoint. Red returns to the warehouse where he is holding Kirchhoff prisoner with a bottle of vodka and places 2 shot glasses in front of him. After they reminisce about the Cold War and finish the bottle, Red kills Berlin. Christopher Maly (Craig Keen, Tom's brother) Lucy Brooks (Jolene Parker) and Tom Keen worked for Berlin.


9. Robert Vesco

Robert Vesco is the mentor of Raymond Reddington, and a longtime legendary fugitive who faked his death. Robert was one of the major players in America´s most notorious financial and political scandals that took place during the 1970s. In 1972, the Federal Communications Commission accused Vesco of robbing 200,000,000 dollars from a mutual fund he controlled and 1 year later, Robert made an illegal campaign contribution to Richard Nixon hoping that Nixon's Attorney General would drop the charges. When that did not happen, Robert fled the country and spent almost 40 years in glamorous exile at Costa Rica, Nicaragua, the Bahamas, and Cuba, where he faked his death in 2007. After that, Vesco went into hiding, living for more than 10 years in an unsuspecting apartment in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was rumored that Robert had found the De La Cruz, a Spanish ship filled with gold that sank near Florida in the 1700s, that being the real reason behind his staged death. During the time Robert mentored Reddington on how to be a fugitive, he robbed Red of his entire life savings by convincing him to invest all the money in a cattle ranch at Paraguay that actually turned out to be a brothel outside of Asuncion. Red heard a rumor in prison that Vesco faked his own death, and Red has one guess why: he found the treasure of De La Cruz. Red puts the FBI onto finding Vesco, and then abducts the man once they locate him. As vengeance for the swindling, Red wants the De La Cruz gold he’s sure Vesco has found. But Vesco doesn’t have it. He figured out the treasure map but people were watching him, so he disappeared for a while. But it doesn’t take long for Vesco to get back into the swing of things, taking Red to the Library of Congress to walk him through the path to the treasure, hidden under the old French Opera House in New Orleans, which now has a new French Opera House built on top of it and with a very active opera happening inside it as Red and Vesco execute their heist. Red takes all the gold or so he thinks cause in the end Red is being swindled once more by perhaps one of the few men on earth who could swindle him.


10. Dembe Zuma

Reddington's trusted and loyal bodyguard and confidante, Dembe Zuma is former freedom fighter from South Sudan. He was born the youngest son of Samwel Zuma. When Dembe's father reported a number of low-ranking operatives of a poaching organization to the authorities, the Mombasa cartel killed Dembe's father, mother and siblings and sold him to human traffickers. He spent eight years in the world of human trafficking and was enslaved until the age of 14, when Red found him half-dead and chained to a pipe in the basement of a brothel in Nairobi. Red took care of him, nursed him back to health and made sure he got an education. Dembe eventually got a Bachelor's degree in English Literature, learned to speak four languages fluently and learned six others well enough to get by. Dembe has a daughter, Isabella and a granddaughter, Elle. Matthias Solomon uses Dembe's daughter and granddaughter as leverage to force him to surrender to him. Dembe is further tortured by Solomon's associates for refusing to disclose Red's whereabouts. He later finds Mr. Vargas in the same situation, and the two team up to escape. However, Vargas betrays Dembe and shoots him. Dembe rescues Red and Liz from Solomon before collapsing from his injuries. After Red shoots Mr. Kaplan and leaves her for dead, Dembe's relationship with Red becomes increasingly strained. Eventually, he says to Liz that he no longer recognizes Red, and tells her he killed Mr. Kaplan. Dembe disappears after apparently poisoning Reddington. It is later revealed that he was innocent, but fled in order to find the true culprit. With Aram's help, he discovers that Mr. Kaplan was alive and was responsible for trying to bring down Red.

11. Tom Connolly

Thomas "Tom" Connolly is a good friend and colleague of Cooper. They meet prior to 2003 when Cooper is leading an FBI task force in the Middle East, and Connolly is the US Attorney prosecutor that works alongside the group. Sometime during the war, an American named Alan Rifkin defected to the Taliban, and assisted them in massacring a village in Afghanistan. Rifkin is captured, but refuses to confess to his crimes. FBI and military interrogators, on Cooper and Connolly's orders, then brutally beat Rifkin until he confesses. With this confession, he is sent back to the US and put on death row for treason and murder. Connolly becomes a prominent member of the US Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C.During the events revolving around Justin Kenyon and a bomb plot, Connolly visits Cooper at the Post Office, telling him that he is about to be confirmed as the next Attorney General of the United States. He wants Cooper to join him in the administration as Director of the FBI. Cooper declines. Connolly asks why Cooper won't take the job. Cooper tells Connolly about his serious health issues and that the prognosis is quite bad. He also tells him about the trial group he had recently been declined for, and how it is pretty much his only hope. Connolly uses his connections to get Cooper in the trial. Connolly is blackmailing Cooper into doing what he wants or he will make sure that Cooper is not going to be a part of the trial anymore. Connolly is revealed to be a new member of the Cabal. The Director states that betraying Cooper was the price of a seat at the table. Connolly reveals his involvement with the Cabal to Cooper and that he is part of the Cabal. He then admits that he has been gaining leverage from Cooper and the Cabal owns him. He threatens to shut down the task force since he is aware of the laws Cooper broke. Later, Connolly is appointed Attorney General. When Liz is framed for the assassination of a U.S. Senator, Connolly forces Cooper on administrative leave for keeping Liz from being questioned. Through Liz, Cooper discovers that his disease was a hoax orchestrated by the Cabal through Connolly, and angrily confronts him together with Liz. They threaten to give evidence proving his corruption to the FBI unless Liz is cleared of her charges, Karakurt is charged for the crimes, Cooper is reinstated, Charlene is released, and Red is left alone. Connolly ignores them, pointing out that he controls the FBI, he controls the Department of Justice, and no Federal judge will oppose him. Connolly tells them that the Post Office will be painted out as a rogue unit and its members prosecuted. When Liz points her gun at him, he tells her that killing him will accomplish nothing since he will only be replaced. Despite Cooper's pleas for her not to pull the trigger, Liz shoots and kills Connolly.


12. The Decembrist

Publicly, Fitch works as an Assistant Director of National Intelligence. On the side, he is a senior member of the Cabal whose secrets Red knows. Red has arranged for those secrets to be divulged in the event of his death in order to make sure Fitch's organization stays away from him. He is the one responsible for Berlin's daughter's disappearance, having helped her escape from a gulag and faking her death. Fitch arranges for Anslo Garrick to attack The Post Office and capture Red so that he could interrogate him as to whether Red's new arrangement with the FBI affected their previous agreement. He decides that Red had not betrayed the Cabal after all. He forbids Garrick from killing Red, as he believed that doing so would release the evidence against him and his cohorts. After Berlin finds out that Fitch is behind his daughter's disappearance, he orders his agents to abduct Fitch and strap a pipe bomb on him, intending to kill him. The FBI later finds Fitch with a bomb strapped around his neck. He is escorted to FBI headquarters and locked in the same box that Red was sent into after first being detained by the FBI. There, several bomb squad officers attempt to disable the bomb. Eventually, Fitch announces he does not want any more blood on his hands than he has already, and asks the bomb squad officers to leave. Fitch asks Red if he has the Fulcrum. Several members doubt that Red still has the Fulcrum. Red merely says that he cannot stop the bomb. Fitch says that his death will trigger a series of events, which will make it harder for the moderates to resist the radicals, and predicts that by 2017, conditions will get worse. Fitch names 2 members who might be willing to ally with Red. Fitch then tells Red the combination to a safe he has hidden away in St. Petersburg, but is unable to tell him the location within the city before the bomb explodes.


13. Ian Garvey

Ian Garvey knows about the suitcase with bones and wants to them in his possession so that he has leverage over Red. Somehow Garvey knows that Pete McGee, who is working together with Tom and Nik Korpal, ran a search through CODIS for the DNA on the bones. Nik Korpal goes to Pete’s apartment and he’s surprised that the front door is open. He enters the apartment and calls for his old classmate, then starts looking at the computer. Somebody comes up from behind him and strangles Korpal to death with a wire. As Nik’s limp body falls to the floor, we see a hooded man grab the suitcase and leave the apartment. Tom hears from Liz that Nik is dead and starts Looking for Pete. He gets help from Pete's girlfriend Lena Mercer. Ian Garvey sends men to capture Pete McGee but finds Tom and Lena instead. He holds them hostage and after further deliberation kills Pete and Lena, leaving Tom alive so he can contact Red. Garvey gets him to call Red and tell him that he “did what you hired me to do,” but Red already has his spy outside of Garvey’s hideout. Unfortunately, Red is still 20 minutes away and Tom is basically swimming in a pool of his former accomplices’ blood now. So when Garvey and most of his guards leave to go meet Red at the dummy location Tom gave him, Tom manages to use a wood-chipped scrap of Lena’s necklace to cut his zip-tie binds, take down a handful of guards, and set out into the woods. Garvey and his men follow Tom, who got in the car with Red and Dembe, to the farmhouse, ready to kill Tom and Red and take back the suitcase with the bones. Dembe runs over the guy outside, Red shoots everyone in their path out to the car, and Tom whips up a couple of Molotov cocktails to throw in their vehicles on the way out. Tom leaves Red and Deme and contacts Liz and tells her to come to the apartment. Liz rushes into their apartment, where she finds Tom tied up and bloodied, with Garvey and his men waiting to do the same to her. She puts up a solid fight but they get her subdued too. Garvey demands that Tom calls Red. Tom won't do that and Garvey stabs him in his abdomen and Liz gets punched in the face, sending her to the ground where she slams the back of her head. Once Garvey knows he won’t get anything else from them, he leaves with what he came for, the bones and tells his men to finish the Keens off and clean up. Garvey disappears with the suitcase and we don't know where he currently is and if he still has the suitcase. Later, Garvey kills Norman Singleton, who identified Garvey as Damascus. Liz identifies Garvey later at the crime scene. Garvey unsuccessfully attempts to take control of a witness, who saw him murder Singleton. Using the bones as leverage, Red is forced to abduct the witness. Even though Red succeeds, he tells Garvey that if he tries to use Liz as leverage, he will kill him. Garvey attempts to take Liz hostage after trying to locate the witness. The attempt failed due to Red finding out about his plans and had Dembe and his men rescue them. Garvey is shot multiple times by Keen and Dembe after he tries to kill Red. Keen treats Garvey's wounds and calls for an ambulance as she doesn't want Garvey to die without revealing the truth behind the bones to her. Though Garvey is rushed to the hospital, his wounds are severe, possibly even fatal. His attempt to tell Liz the truth fails as the bleeding becomes critical. Garvey died of his injuries during a conversation between Red and Liz. However, Liz is unhappy as Garvey's knowledge of what was in the duffle bag died with him.

14. Alexander Kirk

Alexander Kirk is a powerful billionaire businessman who made his fortune buying up Russian companies after the fall of the Soviet Union. Kirk was revealed to be the mysterious client who had hired Susan Hargrave to capture Liz. After Liz's death, he hires an assassin to kill Tom and take Agnes. Red and Hargrave steal 300 million dollars from Senator Diaz, a presidential candidate Kirk was backing, in an attempt to get Kirk to the United States, but Kirk does not take the bait. After Red frames him for selling oil to radical jihadists, Kirk is forced to appear before a congressional committee to testify. He changes his mind at the last minute when his men discover Liz is alive. He has Liz kidnapped and brought to him, where he reveals to her that he is her father, Constantin Rostov. He is suffering from an unrevealed medical condition.


15. Robert Diaz

Robert Diaz is a U.S Senator that was running for President of the United States. To this end, Diaz received 300,000,000 dollars from Constantin Rostov to finance his political campaign. Diaz won the election and became the President of The United States. During his time as a senator, Diaz was the chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Diaz was the one who pardoned Liz from killing Tom Connolly after Red blackmails him. He conspires with Anna McMahon in a convoluted plot which is apparently intended to end in his own assassination. The Task Force foils the plot, and it is revealed that Diaz was actually trying to kill his wife in order to prevent her from testifying about his killing a man in a hit-and-run accident. He is then forced to resign.


16. Anslo Garrick

Anslo Garrick is a mercenary who specializes in raiding classified and well defended prison facilities and extracting high level prisoners, always using extreme levels of violence. He works almost exclusively with a unit of highly armed, countryless mercenaries known as "The Wild Bunch". At some point, he successfully raids a CIA black site in the Bering Sea to exfiltrate a man named Mahmoud al-Azok. His employer pays him to plant evidence that blames the raid on Peruvian insurgent organization Shining Path. At some point he and Red work together, though the alliance ends in 2008 when Garrick gives the FBI Red's train number and itinerary for a stop at Waterloo station in Brussels. When Red arrives, a hit squad led by Ressler made an attempt on his life, but they fail. Red realizes that Garrick has betrayed him and shoots him, damaging the right side of his face and apparently blinding his right eye. However, Garrick survives and spends 5 years in a prison described as a "black hole". To remind himself of the incident, Garrick never repairs the facial scarring with surgery. At the request of Alan Fitch, he organizes and leads a raid on the Post Office. The raid begins with a hijacked garbage truck being driven to the loading bay and as the truck approaches the compactor was opened to reveal armed men inside who quickly kill the FBI guards. Garrick and his men then place jammers on telecommunications links while killing any guards who try to stop them. After cornering the remaining FBI personnel in the armory, his numerically superior force captures them. The purpose of the attack is to capture Red, but he manages to enter a secure holding cell together with Ressler, who is shot in the leg by one of Garricks's men before Garrick and his men can catch Red. After discovering that the cell is reinforced against bullets and explosives Garrick tries to force Cooper to open the cell by threatening to kill him. When this is unsuccessful, he drags Luli Zeng in front of the cell, and threatens to shoot her unless Red opens the door. Red is unable to open the cell, so Garrick shoots Luli. He then drags Dembe in front of the cell and repeats his demand. Garrick realizes from Red's reaction to seeing Liz that threatening her will probably have a better outcome than threatening Dembe. When he puts the gun to Liz's head, Red forces Ressler to reveal the box password. Garrick uses the password and Cooper's hand to open the box. Garrick and some of his men take Liz and Red to the lower level and begin to drill though the floor. When the drilling is complete they all escape through the storm drains to a waiting ambulance. In the ambulance Garrick has to drive when Liz's escape causes the death of the original driver. Red's DARPA tracker is removed and Red is taken to a deserted building for interrogation. Garrick has Red suspended by his arms and a doctor injects Red with a drug to heighten his sensitivity to pain. Garrick then starts hitting Red, without requiring any information. After Alan Fitch finishes questioning Red, Garrick asks if he can kill Red. Fitch is initially unsure, but Garrick convinces him to let him kill Red. Garrick approaches Red and taunts Red by saying that after he has killed Red he will go after Liz. Garrick then asks if Red is actually feeling something. As Red plunges the scissors into the back of Garrick's neck he replies "regret".


17. Sutton Ross

Ross kidnaps Liz in an effort to force Reddington to reveal the truth about the bag of bones. Liz is eventually rescued by the FBI and Ross is killed by Reddington as he leaves with the bones. Later, Liz reveals to a hallucination of Tom Keen that she and Ross were working together to expose the truth about the duffle bag. Ross also brought in Jennifer Reddington to help show Liz the truth that so many people have died trying to reveal: the duffle bag contains the bones of the real Raymond Reddington. The man Liz knows as Reddington is in fact an unknown imposter and assumed his identity. With Ross' death, the imposter is left believing his secret to be safe once again, not knowing that Ross had already revealed the truth to Liz.


18. Susan Hargrave

Susan "Scottie" Hargrave and her husband, Howard, are the owners of Halcyon Aegis, a private military intelligence firm that deals with situations that directly violate official American foreign policy. They had a son together, Christopher, who disappeared without a trace at the age of three. Scottie is hired by Alexander Kirk to kidnap Liz. The entire operation went sideways and Liz got into an accident and died during childbirth. After learning she was involved with Liz's death, Red attacks Scottie's operations in order to force her to meet with him. She agrees, setting a trap for him. Red is alerted to the trap by Tom, and turns the tables, capturing Scottie instead. She denies any responsibility in Liz's death, and reveals that she was contracted to capture Liz by a man named Alexander Kirk. Red then proposes a temporary alliance with her. In order to catch Kirk, Red and the task force have to work together with Scottie, Solomon and Nez Rowan. Tom wants to kill Scottie for her part in Liz's death but is stopped by Red who tells him that Scottie is his mother.


19. The Capricorn Killer

The Capricorn killer a serial killer who left his victims posed in remote, inhospitable environments, impaled with a hand-forged sword, and holding the skull of a horned goat. During her time as a profiler, Liz worked on this case and her profile differed from everyone else’s. They all agreed that the serial killer was a white male in his 40s in a transitory blue-collar profession, and since his accelerated killing pattern indicated that he had gone out of control, others thought he had stopped; Liz believed he had just gone dormant and would return again. It seems she was right.. Liz goes along with Agent Graves and Samar to speak with the widow of the most recent victim, Ms. Seavers. She tells them that her husband was a good man who loved their young son more than anything, and shows them a photo of the two posing with swords. It seems that Mr. Seavers’ hobby was hand-forging swords in his workshop. A workshop which also happens to feature a hidden room with goat-skull shrines to each of the victims of the Capricorn Killer. Seavers wasn’t killed by the Capricorn Killer, he was the Capricorn Killer, killed in the style of his own ritualistic murders. This new killer’s style is clearly a little more varied. We get a nice long look at the next man he’s captured, strapped down to a body-shaped table, and sawed off one of his arms and both of his legs. The killer plays a video for the strapped-down man of the strapped-down man that he’s clearly recorded under duress, reading from a script that details exactly how he’s drugged him to immobilize his body, amputated parts of his limbs while he was out, and is now gearing up his circular saw to complete the set. The team finds that his latest butchered victim was, the Tristate Butcher, a serial killer who made recordings of butchering his victims. Another serial killer murdered in his own signature style. Sharon Fulton is a FBI psychiatrist that works evaluating agents in order to determine if they are fit for duty. Sharon also paid for the counseling of the families of the victims of serial killers that were never caught. Those families grief and pain alongside the lack of justice for their loved ones broke Sharon, making her decide to take action on her own. Using her knowledge and skills on forensic psychiatry and criminology, Fulton would identify and track serial killers that escaped justice and kill them in the same way they killed their victims. However, she did not do the killing herself and instead enlisted the help of other federal agents that like her were disillusioned with the justice system. After Elizabeth Keen shot and killed Attorney General Tom Connolly for being a traitor, Fulton became interested in her and decided to recruit her. Her interest in Keen increased after it was revealed that Keen was Red's daughter.


20. The Corsican

Bastien Moreau is a nationalist who only works for organizations that oppose globalism. Moreau is willing to compromise his anti-globalism ideals and target a specific individual so long as he can maintain the image of being an anti-globalist. After escaping the shootout, we see Moreau and his associates at the airport, where the associates are shot and killed-no surprise there. He heads inside in a wheelchair. The Task Force tries to decide who Bastien’s next target is, as he is “one of the world’s most deadly assassin.” The Task Force heads to the airport and calls for it to be locked down and all passengers held. The worker helping Bastien was attacked in the bathroom and stripped of his clothes. Now posing as an airport employee, Moreau finds a car and, unfortunately, escapes. When we see him again he’s doing a little primping on his new face and talking about an assignment with a mysterious woman on the phone. Given that she hasn't been able to get ahold of him for a month, she’s a little concerned about his ability to pull of the task, but Moreau assures her everything is on schedule. Moreau hijacks the badge and access codes of a man who looks almost exactly like him (well, the new him) who’s headed to the United Nations to deliver a diplomatic package. Like just about anyone who comes within speaking distance of Moreau, that poor man winds up dead by a single bullet. Red finds out that Moreau appears to be collecting arms for a new job, so Ressler and Liz head to New York where his stolen car has turned up. A little detective work with Red’s arms dealer contact in L.A. reveals that Moreau wasn't collecting guns, he was contracting a man named Maxwell Rudiger to build a bomb, that Moreau is carting into the United Nation, in a diplomatic pouch that’s not subject to search. Ressler and Liz swarm into the United Nations, telling the police officers on duty to initiate their evacuation protocol, just as Moreau delivers the pouch to a Turkish ambassador. The…entire United Nations evacuates, Moreau included, unfortunately, and that gives enough time for Red and Maxwell to arrive, ready to diffuse the bomb and he is able to do so. Moreau is still on the run but Ressler is able to find him outside the building with Aram's help. Ressler is holding Moreau at gunpoint when Moreau takes somebody hostages and shoots him and that's when he escapes. Later Moreau is killed by Robert Diaz's Secret Service Agent Sandquist since he knows the truth of the dossier.

21. Luther Braxton

Luther Braxton is a professional thief known for stealing money and information from the People‘s Republic of China, Iran, and the United States. He typically organizes his operations to take place during wars, natural disasters or other upheavals and take advantage of the surrounding chaos to cover them up. He is credited with stealing 282 million dollars from Baghdad during Operation Shock and Awe and the abduction of a CIA asset from Tehran during the 2009–10 Iranian election protests. Braxton has a past with Red, including an incident in Belgrade where Braxton bested him, killing Red's local point man and hanging him by the neck with one of Red's own neckties. While serving in the Gulf War, Braxton is involved in a traumatic friendly fire incident in Khafji. He is successfully given therapy to have the memories of it removed. Luther Braxton is imprisoned at the Factory, a CIA black site in the Bering Sea that houses inmates trained to resist torture. Red is also brought there after he was arrested in Hong Kong. Red has information that Braxton is going to break out the Factory and hands that information over to the warden in exchange for his freedom. Meanwhile Braxton is being tortured by electrocution, but doesn't talk. When the technicians call it off, one of the guards slips a piece of the electrical equipment into Braxton's mouth. After being taken to his cell, Braxton uses the equipment he has been given and other supplies from his cell to rig the door with the electrical wiring of a lamp. When a guard who is bringing him food tries to unlock the door, he is electrocuted and falls to the floor. An alarm goes off and the section goes on lock down. Guards with assault rifles and full SWAT gear enter the section and toss tear gas into his cell, but Braxton, who has covered his mouth and nose with a scarf, fights back, steals one of their rifles and kills them. Now free, Braxton unlocks the other cells of the section, which turn out to house his accomplices, a group of hackers, munition experts and former special ops fighters. Together, they break out, gas the security staff and take over the facility. As his operatives take hostages, including Samar and Ressler, Braxton is contacted by the CIA and asks to talk to someone in authority. He is put through to Harold Cooper and asks for the master code for the facility. Threatening to kill hostages, he gives Cooper ten minutes to decide. Then Braxton starts hanging Samar by the neck and Cooper gives it up. Planning to access information leading to the Fulcrum, Braxton's men go to the server room and enter the code. Meanwhile, Red and Liz are in the facility basement and overheat the boilers. The resulting explosion puts a stop to Braxton's plan, but alerts him to their location. He grabs Liz, who tells him that Red, who has been knocked unconscious, is dead. Red is found and woken up by one of the guards who works for him. After being given a shotgun by one of the facility's guards Red fights his way through the riot, breaks into the control room and takes out Braxton's guards. He tries to convince Braxton that the Fulcrum will only make him more of a target than he already is. When Braxton talks about the Fulcrum and a fire in which it disappeared, he spots the burn on Liz's wrist and realizes her connection to the incident. Red tells Liz to put a bullet in Braxton's head, but then they are interrupted by an air strike launched at the facility by the CIA. After being saved by the missile barrage, Braxton and his surviving accomplices grab Liz, disguise themselves as paramedics and use a medevac helicopter to fly to the Grace River Hospital in Juneau, Alaska. Once secure, they torture Liz for information about the Fulcrum, but realize that she can't remember the fire from her childhood. Braxton kidnaps Dr. Selma Orchard, who gave him memory therapy after his fire incident, and holds her son hostage, threatening to kill him if she doesn't get Liz to remember what happened to the Fulcrum. Braxton also gets a call from Red, who once again warns him that he is out of his depth. While Dr. Orchard and Braxton's men work on Liz to get her memories back, Braxton goes to a church to meet with the Director, who is revealed to be the one who hired him to raid The Factory. Now having a better idea of what's at stake, Braxton raises his price for the Fulcrum, but promises to have access to it by the end of the day. As Braxton leaves, he is ambushed by Red and Dembe, who force him into their car and drive away with him. Later, after Liz has been saved, Red kills Braxton and leaves him hanging in the Director's home.

In retaliation for the assassination of Kian Nouri, an Iranian nuclear scientist, carried out in part by Samar, he is hired to kidnap Amalia Collins. A key member of the Cloud Top missile research program. As he does not initially know her name, he creates an elaborate scheme to convince the FBI that one of his own team is a member of the Secret Service assigned to protect Professor Collins and is under threat of abduction. When Ressler and Liz go to take the man into protective custody, he stages a car accident. Ressler and Liz are apparently taken to Bethesda Naval Hospital for treatment. The Scimitar poses a doctor who is treating Ressler and Liz. Whilst in the "hospital" Liz calls Cooper and in the course of the call names Professor Collins.

23. Zarak Mosadek

Zarak Mosadek is the department interior minister counternarcotics of Afghanistan, and also the country’s largest drug dealer. The Nash Syndicate answers to Mosadek, which means Mosadek is the key to attacking Garvey’s power. He would be untouchable in Afghanistan, but coincidentally, he happens to be preparing to travel to Paris. That means Reddington, Dembe, Ressler, and Samar will also be traveling to Paris. His son attends boarding school in Paris and there he gets abducted by the Taliban. Ressler and Dembe are able to get inside Mosadek’s hotel, just as the cables of his elevator are blown, which should trigger the emergency brakes, and safely plummet the elevator to the basement, where Dembe and Ressler can retrieve Mosadek. But since one of the cables doesn’t blow, the elevator gets precariously stuck between floors, a very compacted shootout ensues, and Dembe has to go inside the teetering elevator to pass Mosadek, the others, and himself through. Mosadek is delivered to Red, and the first thing he does is dump $10 million in diamonds on the table and beg to have his son back. Red says there’s been a misunderstanding. what Red wants is for Mosadek to cut Garvey’s drug supply, therefore taking away his power, and now, in order to get that, he has to get his son Mateen back from the Taliban. Mosadek has been acting as an informant for the U.S. military and the Taliban opium traders that he works with aren’t happy about it. Cooper attempts to get approval from Panabaker to intervene in Mateen’s rescue; he doesn’t get it, and they do it anyway. But the attempt for Mosadek to hand over the diamonds in a cemetery goes south, and he seems to disappear from thin air. When Samar and Ressler call Red, he knows of the cemetery as an entry point to the catacombs that run under the city, and he knows the next entry point to be in a church he once had some dealings with. Ressler and Samar head down into the catacombs to chase after Mosadek and Mateen’s abductors, Red and Dembe head them off at the church. After a few close calls and one shootout in the middle of a sanctuary, Mosadek and his son are back in Red’s custody, and he’s asking for the diamonds, which he promptly hands over to the startled church employee. Red tells Mosadek that he can express his gratitude for the rescue of his son by making good on his agreement to give him the one thing he wants out of Garvey. A meeting that concerns Mosadek's operation. Mosadek agrees to do that and continues to be a free man.


24. The Director

Peter Kotsiopulos is the director of the National Clandestine Service, the CIA component that deals with covert operations. He is also a high-ranking member of the Cabal, the criminal syndicate that Alan Fitch belonged to. However, he has far less respect for Red than Fitch had and is certain that Red is bluffing about having the Fulcrum. He seems to represent the more radical side of the Cabal, one far more ruthless than the rest of the organization. The Director arrives at the Post Office after Luther Braxton takes over The Factory and informs them who Braxton is and why the facility is so vital to them. Kotsiopulos later meets with other members of his syndicate and suggests that Red doesn't really have the Fulcrum, though his fellow members are still wary. In spite of it, they agree to sink The Factory into the sea to eliminate Red but they fail and Red and Braxton both survive. After killing Braxton, Red breaks into Kotsiopulos' home and hangs up the body inside accusing him of hiring Braxton to steal the Fulcrum. As they talk, Kotsiopulos makes it clear that he doesn't consider Red a real threat and believes that he is bluffing about having the Fulcrum. Red dares him to call his bluff and leaves. Kotsiopulos hires a hit man to kill Red. The hit man is partially successful and shoots Red, however Red survives. While his assassins are dealing with Red and his syndicate, Liz confronts Kotsiopulos in the middle of a meeting at the CIA and shows him that Red did have the Fulcrum. Kotsiopulos recalls the strike force, but tells Liz she is now a target. Later on, Kotsiopulos recruits Tom Connolly into his syndicate. The Director and therefore the Cabal are trying to frame Liz for the Orea bombing which killed 14 CIA agents and the death of a US Senator. When Red and Liz are on the run, the Director and his people are doing everything to find Red and Liz. Meanwhile Kotsiopulos meets with Matias Solomon, a Cabal member who is angry that their organization was exposed. He warns Kotsiopulos that the Cabal has grown unsatisfied with his performance and that he must deal with Red soon or the Cabal will come for him. Kotsiopulos is assigned to the task force after testifying at Laurel Hitchin’s presidential commission. Solomon visits Kotsiopulos again to warn him of his endangered position in the Cabal. In turn, he calls Solomon out for trying to take control of the Cabal and forces his cooperation. Red steals the money Kotsiopulos has embezzled from the Cabal. When Peter refuses to exonerate Liz and calls off his bluff again, Red reveals his knowledge of Kotsiopulos' embezzlement against the Cabal. He warns Kotsiopulos that his continued resistance will eventually turn the Cabal against him and that he will be assassinated, should they learn of his embezzlement against them. When Ressler brings Liz into the Post Office and locks her in the box for her own protection, the Director tries everything in his power to get the code from the box so he can execute the plans he had with her. After having effectively isolated Kotsiopulos, Red, the task force and Marvin Gerard team up together to bring him down. As Kotsiopulos schemes with Laurel Hitchin to assassinate Liz before she can testify, he gets a call about his wife having a panic attack and rushes to the psychiatrist's office. Unknown to him, this is a trap set by Red's team and he is captured. He is then taken aboard a Venezuelan plane where Red reveals he plans to have the Venezuelans turn him over to The Hague to be tried for war crimes as an American representative. As Kotsiopulos is a high ranking CIA official, this would cause the government international humiliation. Red then contacts Laurel and demands that she publically exonerate Liz to prevent this. Laurel reluctantly agrees and strikes a deal through Marvin Gerard where Liz is exonerated of all but the Tom Connolly murder. Laurel states she'll take her chances with Kotsiopulos and The Hague if he refuses. Laurel offers Red a deal and Red and Liz reluctantly agree to the deal. Laurel asks Red to deal with Kotsiopulos in exchange as the Cabal now sees him as a liability which Red agrees to. They watch a news report in which Laurel exonerates Liz, but implicates Kotsiopulos in his role in the Cabal, stating that he has fled the country. Kotsiopulos tells Red he knows who Red really is and his relationship to Liz, but Red is unconcerned. As the plane descends, Red throws Kotsiopulos from the plane and he crashes through a house, killing him.


25. Anna-Garcia Duerte

This chatroom seems to act as a support group for child brides, and in it, they speak of a guardian angel: “a mythic white knight who sets them free.” That guardian angel is Anna-Gracia. At the address listed on Duerte’s marriage license, Ressler and Samar find an open window and billowing curtains. They split up, and Samar races to the roof where she finds Anna-Gracia by the ledge, shouting at her to stay back. Anna-Gracia tells Samar that a man three times her age raped her when she was in Brazil, and when she reported it to the police, her parents were so ashamed, so angry at her, that they made up a story that she was in love with the man. She tells Samar that the day she snapped and killed her husband was the day she decided she would die if it meant saving others from that hell. Samar shares he own story andtakes Anna-Gracia’s hand and walks her off the ledge. Samar is able to help Anna-Gracia, telling the U.S. Attorney in a masterful bout of persuasion, that if this goes to trial, he’ll be the man fighting against a martyr for the most wide-spread sanctioned abuse of women in the world today. He decides not to try her as an adult, meaning that she could be fully free by the time she’s 21. Anna-Gracia can’t understand why they would do that for her. Samar tells her that for the first time in a very long time, that they are going to treat her for what she is. A child.

27. Louis T. Steinhil

Louis T. Steinhil was a notorious con artist and thief who had a legendary reputation among his fellow con men. Many confidence artists consider it an honor to work with him. His name is actually an anagram of ”the illusionist”. As The Illusionist, Steinhil would create highly complex and elaborate illusions with the help of several other con men, set to deceive his targets into giving him what he wanted. Steinhil once stole 3 Dutch masters from the Vasa Museum in Stockholm by staging a fake heist to the museum that resulted in a fire, only to them enter the Vasa Museum dressed as a fireman, clear the building and take the masterpieces himself. Creating elaborate illusions is apparently Steinhil’s specialty. Like, say, an illusion that he’s a French inspector investigating Katarina Rostova, when in fact he’s been hired by Katarina Rostova to get information out of Red. What information is still unclear, given that the only thing Steinhil ever asks Red is what he knows about Katarina, and Red won’t say anything about Katarina except that she’s an illusion because he’s protecting her.


28. Rakitin

Andrew Patterson is a Russian hacker and deep cover SVR double agent, codenamed Rakitin, who uses his security clearance within the U.S. government to funnel top secret intelligence to N-13 through a mutual friend in the East. Cooper has learned that Patterson has gotten the attention of at least 1 U.S. Congressman who is aware that a double agent with sensitive security clearances has been sending classified intelligence to N-13. Red is aware of both Patterson’s exposure to the federal police and Cooper’s own investigation into the Sikorsky Archive. Cooper gets the Task Force up to speed about Patterson, who they have discovered to be an agent in the highly classified division of the U.S. intelligence community called the OIA (Office of Intelligence and Analysis). 5 agents in that office have the security clearance to be suspects are on Cooper’s watch list. Patterson stages a grisly car accident, with 1 of the other 4 agents as the victim. Playing into his ploy, the FBI finds a laptop full of the real Patterson’s intelligence files, meant to look like the dead agent was Patterson. Red calls Patterson into question during a secret meeting where Red reminds the latter that although he has been a vital part of Red’s “30 year project”, if he continues to blunder his way through covering his tracks, Red will get rid of him permanently. Red ultimately confronts Cooper at the Post Office to let the Patterson matter go, for his own good. Cooper does not relent or stand down, even in the face of the threat that Red’s “unsavory associates” will come after him. Patterson flies back to Moscow to speak to the man in the East, who is annoyed that Red will not do what he feels is necessary to protect what they have built over the decades. At the table, he provides Patterson an envelope of detailed instructions for eliminating Harold Cooper. Patterson carries out the plan against Cooper using United States Congressman Russell Friedenberg as the lure. Cooper realizes what’s happened very quickly, but before he can escape, the men break his car windows and kidnap him. Patterson is captured in the subsequent FBI raid. Red, who’s in a precarious position between his loyalty to his friend and his cause, versus his relationship with Cooper and the Task Force, uses Park’s debt to him in order to slip a deadly piece of paper into Patterson’s interrogation room under Cooper and Panabaker’s notice. Patterson opens the letter Park bore to him, which secretly contains a deadly nerve agent which spreads on physical contact. Patterson dies suddenly of a violent brain hemorrhage brought on by the nerve agent just as he is seated in front of a camera to deliver the truth of his relationship with both the Russian SVR and Red’s associates.


29. Dr. Bogdan Krilov

Dr. Bogdan Krilov is one of the few people who has mastered the science of memory manipulation. Red hired him 25 years ago to erase Liz’s memories of shooting her father. Present day Mr. Kaplan hired Dr. Krilov to manipulate Ressler's memory. The FBI finds Krilov's storage container full of his medical equipment. Krilov looks on from a distance, phoning Kaplan to tell her his equipment has been seized, which is irreplaceable and without which he can’t do his work. Kaplan says she might have an idea of how to get him what he needs. Kaplan leads Krilov to Dr. Selma Orchard. The memory specialist who was forced to restore Liz’s manually suppressed memories a few years ago. Krilov threatens her with a gun and then knocks her unconscious and steals her equipment. Dr. Ochard's EEG machine connects to Wi-Fi, so once Krilov starts using it, they should be able to track him. Krilov is implanting Ressler’s mind with memories of Laurel Hitchin abducting an innocent woman and taking her to her river house. He’s using the EEG machine, so Aram is able to send Liz and Samar straight to the location of his lab. Liz and Samar go to the lab and they find out that Ressler is Krilov's "patient". Liz has some creative methods of getting answers. When Krilov tells her that Ressler was "an excellent patient, very pliable — unlike you," Liz gives him a nice little smack over the head. They strap him down in his own chair and they demand that he tells them where Ressler is. When he demands a lawyer, he gets a needle of his own medicine stabbed into his arm by Liz. He agrees to talk before she does any actual plunging. Krilov tells them that Ressler is headed to Laurel Hitchin’s house on the Potomac. Once Krilov is in FBI custody, Liz wants every detail from Krilov that will prove Ressler is innocent and every detail on what he did to her 25 years ago. But Krilov tells her it hasn't been 25 years since he last saw her, it’s only been two. Krilov said she was brought to him by a mutual acquaintance who wanted him to take care of some memories. He says he’ll give Liz those memories back in exchange for full immunity, and she only hesitates slightly before saying no.


30. Smokey Putnam

Joe Putnam aka Smokey Putnam is the first member of Red's new team which he needs to rebuild his empire after Mr. Kaplan took everything away from him. Red is going to a bail bondsman’s office and asks him for a job as a bounty hunter. Red arranges that, in exchange for $40,000, he’ll track down a man wanted for embezzling over $2 million from a carnival company and deliver him to his court hearing in two days. That man is Smokey Putnam, and though he is not a Blacklister like the Post Office needs, he will provide what Red needs: rent money. Red and Liz go looking for Smokey in Kentucky. There they meet two carnies who speak in a secret carnie language. They say they don’t know where Smokey is now, but they think it couldn’t have just been him embezzling the money because his boss Ms. Hawkins always counted the books, and she’s the one who cut the deal to testify against Smokey. Liz spots a photo of Smokey and a woman who turns out to be his girlfriend, Tammy Lynn. Tammy Lynn’s ceiling, upon inquiry via a few of Red’s carefully shot bullets, turns out to contain Smokey Putnam. With Smokey in tow, Red and Liz begin an exciting road trip back from Kentucky to D.C. Apparently, the carnival where Smokey worked has a side hustle of laundering money for a massive drug cartel. And that was the money Smokey decided to run off with. He tells Red if they just let him go, he’ll happily write him a check for his 40 grand because if they turn him in and he’s convicted, he will most certainly be killed by the cartel in prison. Red says no dice, but since their car was rammed to smithereens, he does treat Smokey and Liz to a bus ride to the Cincinnati Amtrak station. Unfortunately, the cartel creeps are listening in to the phone call Red makes to his boss and intersect them in Cincinnati. Red knows exactly where they’ll take Smokey as, in a ploy to gain his freedom, Smokey told Red where he’d hidden the embezzled cash. Red hot-wires a car, and they intercept the cartel in a warehouse in Richmond. Red tells him if he takes his money and leaves them, then Smokey will keep the cartel’s name out of his mouth in the trial. If he doesn’t take the money and leave, Red will shoot him. The cartel takes the money. Smokey seems to have endeared himself to Liz, but with Red’s insistence and one more ill-fated escape attempt, Liz helps hand him over to the authorities for his hearing and Red’s payday. Red didn’t tell Liz that the plan all along was to pay off a guard at Ms. Hawkins’ prison to put her into a fake prison transport vehicle, delivering her to Red rather than to the courthouse to testify against Smokey. That at some point in this caper, Red came up with a plan to make Ms. Hawkins, a top-notch money launderer, and Smokey, a logistics and tactics expert of carnie proportions, the first new team members of his new criminal empire. In season 6, Smokey is killed by Red because he helped create a narcotics smuggling ring while Red was in prison.

Previous takedowns include a renowned cardiologist charged with a series of angel-of-death killings that Red says were in fact cause by Isabella Stone hacking his patients’ prescription drug regimens, as well as a high-end fashion designer who was discovered to be employing awful child labor practices when a factory that burned down in a developing country turned out to belong to her. Isabella/Judith was the wife of Gavin Pruitt, a man arrested years ago for one of the first big Wall Street pyramid schemes. Apparently he insisted he was innocent all along, and his wife stood by him, but he was sentenced to prison for 10 years, during which time he was stabbed to death by a fellow inmate. Or so everybody thought. Gavin was working for Red as an accountant and Isabella thinks that Red got him killed because he talked to the FBI about working with Red but he didn't.

35. The Cyranoid

The Commissioner commands a black market enterprise composed of highly trained operatives with former espionage or millitary backgrounds that he would provide to criminals to serve as their dopplegangers. His agents, known as cyranoids, would pose as doubles for their clients at highly dangerous situations so that the real criminal would remain safe and secure, all while also working as the client's eyes and ears, through which the original criminal could make contact and engage in normal business conversations, using the cyranoids as an avatar of sorts. While on their missions, the Commissioner's cyranoids would perform any task the clients commanded them to do, including deep cover infiltrations and assassinations. Liz hires a cyranoid to pose as herself to get together with Neville Townsend cause she wants to start working with him to uncover the truth about Red. It soon becomes clear via a silhouette of the real Liz wearing a headset and watching a monitor that this woman in front of Townsend is wearing contacts that show the real Liz what she sees, an earpiece that allows the real Liz to hear what she hears and tell her precisely what to say in return. A little later cyrnanoid-Liz has arrived at the Post Office to turn herself in, which first seems like an odd way to prove her loyalty to Townsend. The cyrnanoid won't tell the Task Force who she is, only that she can lead them to Liz if they give her immunity. They won't give it to her but in the next moment Cooper sees that she cut the camera feed to her interrogation room and she has disappeared. She wasn't there to turn herself in at all, she was there to do Liz's bidding, just like Liz hired her to. And that now includes murdering Mary Bremmer for Townsend. Cyrnanoid-Liz is making her way to Mary's, and choke her to death, just as Aram is arriving to question her. Aram immediately draws his gun and tries to keep cyrnanoid-Liz cornered, but Liz works her usual manipulative magic, even via surrogate, to distract Aram long enough to knock away his gun and lock him in the interrogation room. And on her way out, she manages to talk Ressler into letting her go. Cyrnanoid-Liz manages to escape the Post Office and goes home where Red and Dembe are waiting for her. They are requesting to talk to Liz. Cyrnanoid-Liz says she's not online with her anymore, and Red tells her she better put her Very Special Contact Lenses in then, because it's time to talk. But once Red is "on" with Liz, she's not interested in chatting. Even when Red empties all the bullets except one out of his gun and tells Liz he's going to pull the trigger until she tells him where she is, Liz doesn't budge. Before he can take the fifth shot, Liz breaks her connection to cyrnanoid-Liz, at which point Red reveals to cyrnanoid-Liz that there was never a bullet in the chamber at all. Red wouldn't have killed her but Liz would have let him.

37. Greyson Blaise

Greyson Blaise is a notorious thrill seeker/under-the-radar art thief. He steals a hefty diamond necklace, exit the room while taking off his heist-y clothes, enter the room next door, and walk up to the podium in his tux to introduce the Napoleon Diamond Necklace, which everyone has gathered at this event to see. But when everybody heads into the display room, the diamond necklace is missing. Ttucked safely away in the clutch of Greyson Blaise’s date. Red tells Cooper and Liz about Blaise but he isn’t handing over this information to capture Blaise. Red wants to get into contact with Blaise, to convince him to work together with Red so people will fear Red again because he is aligned with Blaise. Red says all he needs to do is convince Blaise he’s not broke, and all he needs from the Post Office is a lift to Italy on an FBI jet. But once everyone goes undercover at the auction and they watch Blaise buy a $3 million penny, things go a little off script. Blaise doesn’t seem interested in doing a deal with Red, so Red mentions that he’s heard there’s a mole in Blaise’s operation. When that doesn’t pique his interest, he even more casually mentions that he’s having a party at his house on Lake Como, and perhaps Blaise might want to swing by “to see the Rembrandt.” A painting that was stolen in 1990. And Blaise still only marks himself down as a “maybe.” Liz was at least able to put a tracking device on the back of his girlfriend’s earring, and now the only thing left to do is acquire a house on Lake Como, get the FBI to pay for an extravagant party, and find that priceless painting that’s been missing for nearly 30 years. Luckily, Red knows exactly where it is, given that he brokered the sale of it 27 years ago. But the painting is no longer where Red thought it was so plan B is Red using reverse psychology to goad an expert paint-impressionist named Dale into recreating “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee” in 24 hours. Blaise shows up 20 minutes before the fake painting gets to the house. Red distracts him just long enough to walk him into the room right as Ressler and Dale are hanging the Rembrandt recreation on the wall. So Red tells him that his men were just taking the painting down because Red is giving the painting to Blaise. Blaise has the painting loaded in his car but Red has tipped off an Italian crime inspector, waiting at the end of the driveway to arrest Blaise when he leaves with the painting. After that Red and Liz go to Blaise's house and convincing the entire staff that he is Blaise’s lawyer and, along with his associate Miss Chloe, they need to burn every paper record, give him every electronic record. Red goes looking for the 3 million dollar penny that Blaise bough on the auction earlier. He finds it together with the necklace Blaise stole and he takes it with him. Red's real plan is that once the Italian police realize the painting is a fake, Blaise will have to be set free, at which point the FBI can arrest him because now they have all this real evidence against him, curated by one Raymond Reddington. His entire plan worked, and best of all, he was the only one who got to know about it.


38. The Troll Farmer

Bo Chang is a computer genius, also known as The Troll Farmer, aided by a team of other "trolls", specialized in using the internet to create diversions or provoke reactions. The Troll Farmer uses social media to conduct highly coordinated disinformation campaigns on behalf of governments, lobbyists, corporations, crime syndicates, and on occasion, a humble fugitive. He's mastered the art of information warfare by creating events, virtual hoaxes designed to piggyback on real public anxiety. He activates hundreds of fake accounts to post thousands of tweets, creating the appearance of, say, a terrorist attack in Paris that served as cover for an art heist. He doctors screenshots from news outlets to report an ebola outbreak in Atlanta in order to drive up the stock of a drug company developing a cure. The Troll Farmer is much more than a rumor monger. The events he creates appear to be real and provoke a very real response. Smoke manufactured to draw the cameras away from the real fire. Red, who had him on retainer for 3 years, asked for Chang's help to get Liz and himself out of the country when they were on the run. Red gave the FBI The Troll Farmer in return for Ressler's word that he would give Liz the benefit of the doubt. The FBI raided Chang house and arrested him.

Nirah Ahmad aka The Endling is a legendary criminal who creates one-of-a-kind items. The team finds out that Ahmad is going to take down a plane in Baghdad carrying two of three remaining statues of the Sumerian goddess Inanna, leaving only one in existence. Or stealing the genetic profile from a new kind of barley and destroying all but one of the samples. These are specific crimes, but people will pay a high price for such one-of-a-kind items. She murdered a very special horse and the team goes to see Caleb Hess, the owner of the murdered stallion’s only offspring. The murdered horse was just a stepping stone to a true endling. the “Endling,” never said anything about murder; she just offered to increase his foal’s value in exchange for him giving her the security protocols his security firm would have put in place for the daughter of the King of Montenegro, Princess Sonya. Princess Sonya is the sole heir to the throne, so if she dies, the entire family would end, presumably making her an endling. Nirah Ahmad tries to kidnap Princess Sonya but because she is so heavily protected, Nirah kidnaps Princess Sonya's assistant Ana. But Ana is not her assistant. She’s basically like a living blood bank for her, should anything go wrong during her pregnancy. Sonya has a rare type of blood, but Ana has an even rarer type of blood, known as "Golden Blood". Golden Blood is a universal donor for other rare types of blood, and only seven people in the world have it. Ana is one of them. Two other Golden Blood carriers have gone missing in the last three months and the only other one in the country is an 8-year-old boy named Ethan Isaacs, currently in the ICU at a D.C. hospital. Ethan is kidnapped from the hospital and Aram finds out that Ethan didn't have medical files until 2011 because he was adopted from Syria in 2010. His birth mother is Nirah Ahmad, who is not only one of the only other seven people in the world with Golden Blood, but is also the woman in the back seat of the car with Ethan. With the illness that Ethan has, saving his life would require serious blood transfusions and a heart transplant from a Golden Blood donor that the hospital couldn't provide. They were sending him home to die. And Nirah wasn't creating a Golden Blood endling; all this time, she’s been abducting enough Golden Blood carriers to perform the procedure needed to save Ethan’s life. Red and Liz are lead to an abandoned zoological research facility with a fully functioning hospital on the second floor, filled with forced Golden Blood donors and paid medical personnel. Nirah pulls a gun, but Red plays to her all-consuming desire to save her son. He tells her that if the FBI shows up, they’ll take Ethan back to the hospital and he’ll die. But if she trusts him, he says he knows someone who can help, and he’ll take her and Ethan to them. Red goes to Nik for help and he forces him to go to another warehouse medical facility and perform yet another operation under duress. When the time comes for Ethan’s heart transplant, Red hands Nirah a gun, and she shoots herself in the head so Ethan can receive her heart and she can save her son's life.


45. The Skinner

Dembe was undercover with another agent on the docks. They were waiting to meet with a contact. They were intercepting a microchip shipment. However, to their surprise, The Skinner, and his minions crashed the party. The skinner did his homework on Dembe and found out that he’s FBI. He tested Dembe to see if he really was a an agent and ordered him to shoot his partner- and he did without hesitation. He noticed no blood which meant he was wearing a vest and faking dead. The Skinner put a bullet in his head and bailed demanding his goons interrogate Dembe, then kill him. The Skinner went to visit his former leader, Vincent Duke, and he grilled him about his ruthless tactics. He borrowed Duke’s golf club and went to Taipei, Taiwan to torture a man who gave him intel about the microchips. The man claimed he didn’t know the FBI was watching. He gave the location of Chen Yu Lan. The team found Chen and he was with his family in New York. However, The Skinner was there too and since he couldn’t steal the microchips, he was going after the man who made them. He kidnapped the man and his family. The buyer came and wasn’t on board with kidnapping. Only the theft of the high-tech chips. Anderson killed the man in front of the family, sending a message to them if they do not listen to his demands. Chen met with Anderson and his family wasn’t there. The goons started to verify the chip but Chen cracked under pressure and told him the FBI was outside right now and listening to them. The small team was forced to go in blind and without a tactical team to reinforce help. Anderson knew they were surrounded and used Chen’s wife as a pawn to get them to reveal themselves. He shot the woman in the leg. The team was ordered by Cooper not to reveal themselves and Anderson grabbed the girl to shoot her too, then Ressler revealed himself. Dembe and Park followed. Suddenly, Red came walking in with Duke and his predecessor. They forced a mandate to band together to vote him out. Anderson demanded one of the goons kill the former leaders and the man wouldn’t. Claiming it was against the rules. So Anderson boasted he would do it himself and all of the goons turned on him. He was shocked at their disobedience to him.

At Edgar’s home address, Samar finds his collection of body parts floating in jars in the basement. When Liz is packing a bag at her house to go to a safe house, the Debt Collector is already at her house and sprays something in her face that makes her unconscious. The team thinks that a man named Tyson Pryor hired the Debt Collector because in 2012, Pryor sent out eight letters to eight different college presidents around the country. The envelopes contained only blank pieces of paper with anthrax. He did this because he was angry about not getting tenure at the university where he was a professor. Liz was the one to solve the case and the team thinks that is why Pryor hired The Debt Collector to go after Liz. The Debt Collector takes Liz to a cabin and ties her to a chair as they wait for Pryor to come claim his revenge. But it’s not Pryor who shows up. It’s Red. He admits to Liz that he was indeed taking advantage of Kaplan’s love for her, but he sees no other option. After that he kills the Debt Collector.

Frederick Barnes is a bioterrorist. Barnes works for the United States government designing biological weapons and the antidotes. He has a son with one of his colleagues, Anne Forrester. Because she is married, the child, Ethan, is raised by her and her husband. At the age of five, Ethan develops Kurz disease, a rare and untreatable vascular condition. Barnes reaches out to his contacts in the pharmaceutical industry to raise funding for a cure, but since Kurz disease is so rare and creating a cure would cost more than it could hope to repay, they turned him down. Barnes then resigns from his job at Arpax Systems, sells his house, goes underground and becomes a developer and black market dealer of weapons of bioterrorism and chemical terrorism, working on the cure for Kurz disease on his own. While he develops and sells his weaponized diseases, he never deployed them in person, but sells them to anyone who can afford them, among them Red.

He takes the untested cure to his son, Ethan but Liz stops him from using it. After arguing over the cure's safety, Liz shoots him just as Barnes is about to inject his son.


48. The Kilgannon Corporation

Colin Killgannon was the son of the international smuggler Arthur Killgannon, known in the criminal underworld as "The Irishman". Alongside his father, Colin smuggled substances, objects, and people all over the world, working under the cover of being consultants for the shipping industry. The Killgannon family operated from Bulgaria, where they developed powerful political allies. After the fall of Red's organization due to Mr. Kaplan's actions, the Killgannons took over his human smuggling operation and seized Red's routes. At the same time, Colin took over the family's smuggling operation from his father, becoming the leader of the Killgannon organization. However, Colin proved out to be far more ruthless than Arthur, and ran the smuggling business on inhuman terms, transporting his clients in overcrowded cargo ships. Colin killed her father because his father wanted to get him out of the business. After Dembe has gone undercover to find out where the clients are taking. Once transported to Macedonia, they go to a shipping complex that seems to serve as an undercover weigh station for Colin’s hub of smuggling operations. The bad news is that there are hundreds of frightened migrants there; the good news is that the Post Office is able to track Dembe’s device there, and they’re confident there’s enough inside to make a case against the Kilgannons, get the local authorities involved, and get Dembe out. When Dembe tries to stop the guards from placing the little girl in a separate truck from her parents, he gets punched in the jaw, breaking the device keeping him connected to the Post Office. Local authorities are pulling in now by the dozens. Inside, they find hundreds of humans packed into trucks but no Dembe. It seems that seven trucks made it out before the authorities arrived, including the one holding Dembe and the little girl. The drivers were instructed to ditch the trucks in hard-to-find places and evacuate. So unless the Post Office is able to find the drivers, they have little hope of finding the seven trucks quickly. Red is waiting for Colin with his gun drawn when he comes walking into his garage. Red shoots both of Colin’s associates and turns his gun on Colin. After Colin has given him the names of the truck drivers, Red kills Colin.


49. The Avenging Angel

Michaela Bellucci has been causing mayhem in the past decade exacting terrorist acts on those she feels oppresses others to right their wrongs. Aram found an online thread of how The Avenging Angel possibly chose her victims. She operated an online prayer group and some would confess wrongful things done to them. She set up an operation to intercept and kidnap another powerful billionaire, Derek Huntley. Thea team didn't have any idea why she was surveilling Walter Conrad, Derek Huntley, and William Green. They had nothing in common. Meanwhile, she revealed the three men to each other along with an operating room. Green had congestive heart failure and he was next on the heart transplant list. Conrad was the hospital administrator and Huntley bribed his way to the front of the line, bumping Green to suffer from his condition and a prognosis of 6 months to live. The avenging angel planned to take Huntley’s heart and give it to Green. Red got the adress to where Bellucci was holding the three men trying to stop her from what she was about to do. Red shot her through the head. When SWAT arrived they found Green alive and well, and with a new heart. While Bellucci had a bullet in her head and was missing a heart.


50. Arioch Cain

When a bounty is placed on Liz's head, Red, Liz and Aram find out that the bounty was placed on a website called “deadnotalive.org”. A website that set up bounties for contract killers via crowd funding from civilians. The bounty was put up by someone named Arioch Cain. At first it is believed that Arioch Cain is a man and with the help of Aram, Red and Liz try to track him down. When they track him down Red and Liz go to his house to force him to take down the website which has the bounty on. The man doesn't seem to know what Red is talking about and it is revealed that his daughter Blair is the one that put the bounty on Liz. Blair lost her mother, Sharon, in the OREA bombing, which was carried out by Karakurt and blamed on Liz. Believing the official story that Liz was the bomber, Blair creates a profile at “deadnotalive.org”. During a confrontation with Red and Liz, Blair refuses to take down the page, believing that Liz killed her mother and having her killed was the only way to avenge her. Liz makes Blair aware of the dangers of her actions in helping the Cabal recruit assassins to execute her. When she deletes the page, Blair realizes that Liz was framed and the Cabal is responsible for her mother's murder. Red and Liz leave her alone and they don't turn her into the FBI.

51. Mr. Raleigh Sinclair III

Mr. Raleigh Sinclair III is a master in the art of manipulation known as The Alibi who somehow tricks multiple eyewitnesses into providing alibis to killers. Most recently, a man named Sam DeMarco was suspected in connection for the untimely demise of his business partner, with whom he just so happened to have recently had a nasty falling out; DeMarco was the prime suspect until four independent eye witnesses placed him miles from the murder scene. The Alibi only works with people who want to commit the crimes themselves and somehow devises a plan that can allow that bespoke murderer to be in two places at once. The Alibi can exonerate anyone from any crime by getting people to swear to things they’ve never seen. Once Delores (a homeless woman) identifies Sinclair, Red heads to Sinclair’s workshop, where he finds dozens of face molds and teeth and nose prosthetics and spare skin that could change someone who looks a lot like another person into someone who’s identical to another person. When Samar and Ressler arrive, they realize that they’ve probably got enough files to pin dozens of murders to Sinclair and the murderers he found doubles for, but the only dossier missing is the project he’s currently working on. Red has that dossier. Red tells Sinclair he’s heard whispers of his ability to put a man in two places at once. He tells him that the FBI has taken possession of his files, and with Red’s help, they can take possession of Sinclair. But if Sinclair does as Red asks, he’ll make sure that doesn’t happen. We don’t get to know what Red asks. What we do know is that in return for hijacking their Blacklister, Red gives the Post Office the location of all the doubles’ bodies so that every single one of Sinclair’s clients, even the ones who were previously acquitted for the murders of their original victims, can be tried for murder.


52. Ranko Zamani

Ranko Zamani is a Serbian national educated in the United States. He works as a terrorist responsible for several atrocities. Red credits him with an attack on the U.S. embassy in Damascus in 1986, the abduction of six foreign nationals from the French embassy in Algiers in 1997 and a 2002 break-in at the Krung Thai Bank in Bangkok. In 2007, he faked his own death. Almost immediately after turning himself in to the FBI, Red reveals that Zamani is alive. He names him as the prospective abductor of Beth Ryker. General Ryker's daughter. After the successful abduction of Beth Ryker, Zamani goes to the house of Tom and Liz, where he tortures Tom for information prior to the arrival of Liz. When Liz arrives he questions her about what she knows of his plans, and what Red has told her. In order to encourage her to answer truthfully he stabs Tom in the leg. He then stabs Tom in the stomach telling Liz that she can save lots of people or only one person. While Liz is tending to Tom, Zamani escapes. Liz and the FBI, with some hints from Red, realize that Zamani is dying and that he wants revenge for the death of his family during the Yugoslav Wars. Zamani meets with Red and informs him of Tom's injury, which Red apparently ordered. The meeting turns out to be a setup, and Ressler kills Zamani.


53. The Thrushes

The Thrushes is a mysterious group that specializes in hacking the world's most secure computer systems. It was created in 1982 by a charismatic Bulgarian genius, Plemen Radkov. He was arrested in 1986 by the KGB and died seven months later in a Siberian gulag. After that, The Thrushes went underground. Their specialty is not only cracking systems, but doing so without leaving a trace of their intrusion. The Thrushes choose their clientele based on two criteria. Cash and the technical challenge of the hack. Alexander Kirk hired to them to hack into the FBI database system. Elise, Aram's girlfriend is working for the Thrushes and manages to get in the system by hacking Aram's level 4 security clearance. When the team finds out, Aram developed something to hack into the servers of The Thrushes. When Elise comes over for dinner, Aram manages to upload the worm to Elise's laptop but she finds out and she and Aram get into a fight. Aram calls out the safety word "banana" and Ressler and Samar storm in to arrest Elise.


54. Ilyas Surkov

When there is a chemical plant explosion in Leeds, England newspapers are saying it’s the work of terrorist Ilyas Surkov, but Red knows one important thing about Surkov. He’s dead, and has been for 15 months. Aram finds that in the 15 months since Red claims Surkov died, he’s “taken credit” for three major international attacks, including the chemical plant explosion in Leeds. So who exactly is using his name to commit terrorist attacks? Liz and Ressler go to England and meet MI6 agent Gladstone. Gladstone doesn’t buy their copycat theory because, with the help of the CIA’s Surkov task force, they’ve placed secret chemical markers into the C-4 of the company suspected of selling explosives to Surkov. The C-4 used in the Leeds explosion contained those chemical markers, meaning it must have come from Surkov. The team continues with Red’s theory, setting out to find who is buying the C-4, if not Surkov. The known seller identified by MI6 and the CIA is Raquan Ghaffari, a demolition contractor in Belgrade. Samar goes undercover and he’s able to convince Ghaffari that she’s with Surkov’s team and he’s sent to her to ensure the rumor that MI6 has tagged his chemicals isn’t true. But at some point, as Ressler and Liz look on and Aram listens to the wire feed from the car, Ghaffari catches on that something is up and Samar takes off after him. But just as she catches up with him in the alley where Aram’s car is, a van pulls up, and people hop out and grab both of them. Ressler, Liz and Aram takes off after whoever has Samar and Ghaffari. When Ressler backs them into a corner they can’t get out of and everyone barrels out of their cars with guns drawn. The CIA has taken Samar and Ghaffari. The CIA team takes Ghaffari and the FBI team to their safe house to figure out what to do with him and each other. Liz sits outside the interrogation room talking to Agent Calhoun, who tells Liz that she’s been searching for Surkov for six years; she left the Agency in 2015, but a year later Reuther called her and talked her into coming back in for the hunt. Now they’ve got Ghaffari in their grips but he’s not talking. After roughing him up, Reuther comes out and says he’ll crack eventually. Liz has Ghaffari primed and ready to talk though, so Reuther heads back in with his translator, while at the same time, we’re seeing Cooper talks with Leon Cox, the CIA Director of Operations, to talk about their teams’ impromptu little meet-up butCox says there’s no safe house in Belgrade, and the Surkov task force is currently in London. Reuther pulls a gun just as Ressler does, and suddenly everyone is shooting. All the other “CIA” members get away except Calhoun, who gets taken back the Post Office. Calhoun remains loyal to Reuther, but there’s only so long she can deny the fact that no one at Director Cox’s office has ever heard of Reuther and that he apparently recruited their team onto a fake CIA task force. Ressler says it’s Reuther who’s pretending to be Surkov and organizing these attacks, and they now have intel from Ghaffari that there’s another one planned nearby in Virginia. Reuther’s real name is Brian Osterman, and Cox says he was disavowed from the Agency in 2008, after which he became disillusioned and went dark. He pilfered a missing black-ops slush fund to operate his own fake-CIA task force. Liz finds Osterman posted up with a sniper rifle aimed toward a swarm of Navy officers. Osterman tells Liz that he is not using Surkov as a cover, the CIA is. Osterman claims that when Cox found out Surkov was dead, he decided to use his name to do America’s dirty work. But soon it became clear the jobs we were doing weren’t America’s filthy work, they were Cox’s. At this very moment, Osterman has his gun trained on a CIA agent delivering C-4 in a backpack as part of a “false flag operation.” Liz says she still can’t let him shoot a CIA agent following orders, so she shoots him in the arm. Then there’s a huge explosion.


55. Karakurt

Known in the intelligence community as the Left Hand of the SVR (the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service), Karakurt, which is Russian for spider, is an assassin employed to silence Russian dissidents and known high-profile critics of the Russian regime. He specializes in either making his murders look like non-criminal causes, such as accidents, suicides or natural deaths, or like the work of other criminals. Karakurt is smuggled into the country by Quan Zhang, to perform some act of terrorism so that it will be blamed on Russia and become the catalyst for a new cold war. Red figures out that Karakurt has constructed an IED and has it in a white moving truck that right outside of the CIA sub-station that Ressler and Liz have just exited when the whole thing blows up. Ressler and Liz get a new lead on Karakurt and go to Union Station where Liz spots a man in the exact same clothes Karakurt was wearing in the surveillance picture. When she goes after him, he catches her off guard, knocks her out and runs away. The team discovers that Karakurt working on a weapon of individual destruction, which will only effect one person. When the task force discovers that Karakurt wants to poison a senator, Liz tries to stop the senator right before he touches Karakurt, thinking this will activate the WID. What she doesn’t know is that she’s actually the one that is carrying the weapon which has activated and killed the senator. Karakurt has infected her with the virus when she ran into him at Union Station. Tom Keen later tracked down and captured the real Karakurt in hopes of using him to exonerate Liz. When Mathias Solomon and an assault team attack their location, Ressler and Tom reluctantly allow Karakurt to aid them in stopping the killers. Karakurt saves Tom's life during the battle and is then promptly restrained once more. While Solomon tries to force them to turn Karakurt over to him, Cooper knocks him out from behind and he is arrested. Karakurt later reluctantly agrees to testify about the Cabal and Ressler has him led into the courthouse in front of the press and exposes him as the true terrorist. This, along with Red's efforts, exonerate Liz.

56. The Cook

Thomas "Tommy" Owen Wattles is an arsonist and a serial killer and used to be a priest.
We first see him covering himself in what turns out to be some sort of flame retardant, stringing up a bunch of mason jars around the ceiling of a living room, and lighting the whole contraption on fire as he sits just on the edge of the fire zone and the jars begin to drop like fire balls. A woman walks in the room and is immediately engulfed in flames. The man, who was drinking a beer, calmly gets up and walks away, untouched by the flames.
When Samar and Ressler are investigating the scene, they put a blacklight on the walls and they find an upside-down pentagram drawn on the wall with the words “Discipline Not Faith” written across it. As it turns out, that’s a signifier Aram is able to tie to seven other arson fires, of which only one victim survived. Through a witness at one of those fires identifying a car, Aram is able to get an address from a rental car agency, and Ressler and Samar show up at the man’s arson lair. But the man is there and immediately triggers a contraption like the one we saw earlier, giving him time to run out and burning most of his evidence. When Fagan is brought back in, he uses some of the man’s supplies to uncover a receipt that places him at a hardware store, and the Post Office is able to identify him as a priest. A priest whom we see at an airport bar staring at a young woman. That young woman goes over to him and asks for some impromptu confession time. She tells him that she cheated on her fiance. And when she hugs him goodbye, he holds on to her waist, touches her skin. When Samar and Ressler go to question the head of the unique sect of priests that the man’s garb indicated he was part of, the head priest responds to news with: “Men?! He’s killing men, not just women?” Wattles confessed to him about having nonstop fantasies about burning women alive whom he found attractive, and of course he got fired for breaking his celibacy vows, and of course he hates women because of that, and of course he now cleanses any woman who tempts him sexually with an elaborate fire murder. Wattles shows up at the woman from the airport’s house, asks her why she “dresses like this” , touches her all over, ties her to a chair, and begins rigging up his fire contraption. She begs to know why he’s doing this. He kisses her on the mouth, gets angry, then slaps her. The FBI storms in and the man runs outside, douses himself in accelerant and commits suicide-by fire.


57. The Judge

Ruth Kipling is the founder of the Amnesty Collective, a death penalty abolishment movement. After her father is wrongfully convicted, she begins to imprison or execute court and police officials who had wrongfully convicted others. Known as The Judge, she aided by a group of accomplices, runs a secret prison yard network where she reviews prisoner's appeals, using the Collective as a cover to keep tabs on their lives behind bars. She would always let the officials she imprisoned suffer the exact same punishments they had sentenced someone to, be it the number of years served in prison or an execution. Kipling has contact with Rifkin, the latest prisoner to contact her, by working as his spiritual advisor upon the closing in of his death sentence. After Rifkin dies, she kidnaps Connolly and Cooper, who had beaten Rifkin's confession out of him. She is about to execute Cooper with a makeshift electric chair when Red arrives with proof that Rifkin really did commit the crimes for which he was executed. Cooper is released, The Judge is apprehended, and later sent to prison.


58. Marko Jankowics

Marko Jankowics is a notorious Hungarian drug lord that specialized in the production and commercialization of LSD. Thanks to the looser restrictions in place in eastern Europe, Marko would easily acquire the materials he needed to mass produce his product in his homeland. He would then ship the LSD to Canada, where he ran his operations from Montreal, having developed several contacts and assets in the city. The drugs would then be smuggled into the U.S through mules disguised as pregnant women that carried the package inside their bellies. Jankowics is also known as Sarkany, a multi-headed dragon from Hungarian folklore. Jankowics is the target of a joint DEA/FBI task force, but he managed to avoid arrest and indictment. Jankowics kidnaps Jennifer because Liz and Jennifer were following his girlfriend Marguerite Renard. Jankowics agrees to the trade of Jennifer for his drugs. In the garage where they all meet up, Jankowics marches Jennifer out to prove she’s alive, and when Ressler goes around back to get the LSD bladder, he tucks his gun underneath it. Good thing, because Jankowics starts to pull his own gun, saying that he can’t take the chance of them telling their FBI colleagues, but Ressler shoots him straight through the bag of drugs.


59. The Apothecary

Asa Hightower a.k.a The Apothecary is a druggist whose potions hijack the immune system, causing any number of allergic reactions, each one impossible to identify unless you know what to look for. Red’s lead on how to find the Apothecary is Elario Penetti, head of a drug syndicate set to be charged with having his biggest rival’s company burned down thanks to a confession from his accountant, Helen Dolly, until she went into a mysterious coma two days before the trial. Her symptoms presented as an acute allergic reaction, and since she had been to the hospital twice in the past for a tree nut allergy, that was how they treated it. But in fact, she’d been affected by a poison designed by the Apothecary to mimic the symptoms of an allergic reaction precisely so the doctors would waste precious time treating the wrong thing, allowing her to lapse into a coma. The Apothecary was hired by Helen's husband to design the poison. Helen had her husband sign a prenup. That pre-nup states that the spouse gets nothing as a result of death or divorce before 10 years. And two weeks before their tenth anniversary she went into a mysterious, incurable coma. The Apothecary has a his wife who he keeps completely incapacitated in bed. He hooks up a bell to her finger, so she can alert him to any discomfort with the slightest movement of her finger. While he keeps his wife sedated he repeatedly sleeps with her and ends up getting her pregnant which was his plan all along. In the mean time, the task force has located the Apothecary using the very specific snake venom that Helen’s husband had used to poison her. The Apothecary doesn’t know who commissioned the poison for Red because it’s all done anonymously on the dark internet, but he says he’ll give them the antidote in exchange for taking the death penalty off the table.


60. Anna McMahon

Anna McMahon is the Assistant United States Attorney General and Presidential Advisor. She is masterminding a criminal conspiracy with President Diaz. She hires Bastien Moreau to bomb the UN and then to assassinate Ava Ziegler, a German intelligence officer in possession of compromising information on the conspiracy. She strongly opposes staying Reddington's execution, but is overruled by the President when Cooper threatens to go public about Ziegler's assassination. She is later assigned to be the Justice Department's liaison with the Task Force. Because she doesn't want the task force to find out what she is doing she used the Third Estate to distract the task force. But they still find out she is planning a conspiracy. They are doing everything they can to find the dossier that holds all the evidence they need against her without her knowing. But Anna send some agents from the Secret Service to find the dossier before the task force finds it. Bastien Moreau put the flash drive with the dossier in a random kid's backpack. Anna and her people have a small head start on the Task Force and some people get killed but in the end the task force ends up with the dossier and on the flash drive, they find Christopher Miles’ dossier on “The Princip Initiative,” and the helpful video explainer he included in it for Ava Ziegler, detailing the plot he unintentionally stumbled upon, one to assassinate the sitting American president. In a hospital room where Sanquist’s gunshot wound has been tended to, Anna shows up to talk about the fact that the FBI now knows they’re both treasonous terrorists. Anna has a plan. They can get what they want and take down Reddington at the same time, she says, but not if the President knows they lost the dossier. After Liz and Ressler retrieve Ziegler's file, McMahon has the entire Task Force arrested, framing them for conspiring against the President. After the Task Force escapes and foils the plot, they are recaptured by McMahon and her Secret Service agents but manage to break free with Reddington's help. McMahon is about to kill Reddington when Dembe arrives and kills her.

61. Philomena

Philomena is a bounty hunter who is hired by Mr Kaplan to go after Red's associates. Philomena studies her subjects for weeks, acquiring the skills and habits she needs to bring herself into their lives as if by accident, and then deliver them to Mr. Kaplan. Philomena tases her co-worker during a makeout session in his car. That man is Joe Peracchio, Red’s finance guy. Aram is able to track Philomena down to track her down to a warehouse that she’s turned into quite the boho-meets-industrial little fixer upper. But she’s not there. She’s already out on her next target. She works at a coffee shop, then walks outside and hops on a bike in order to intentionally get hit by a car. She just so happens to get hit by someone who doesn’t wonder why a woman was riding her bike directly into oncoming traffic, but who does insist on exchanging information and paying for any medical bills that might come up. That woman is Alexa Gerard, Marvin Gerard's sister. Philomena and Alexa stay in contact and Philomena tells Alexa about her custody case against her ex. Alexa tells her that her brother is a trial attorney and that he offered to help her out. They go visit Marvin and Philomena plays along just long enough to get a gun to the sister’s head, but she says she won’t hurt her if Marvin cooperates with her. Then she tosses him a taser to do the job himself. The task force tracks Philomena down, run her car off the road and they take her into custody.


62. Leonard Caul

Born as Joseph McCray, Leonard Caul is a spy working for the CIA known for his ability to blend in and conduct covert surveillance. In the 1980s, he is part of Operation Harwood, a CIA operation to keep watch on the Sandinista National Liberation Front in Nicaragua. After the Iran–Contra affair, the operation is shut down and Caul, dropping his birth name, went off the grid. Shortly after that, he creates the encryption of the Fulcrum, the blackmail file granting leverage against the Cabal. Red comes in contact with him after Caul answers the phone after Red dials the number he found in Alan Fitch's safe. As Red fights for his life, he pleads with Liz to track down Caul. Caul is tracking down Liz's every move. He has audio recordings of Liz talking to Tom and pictures of everyone involved in Liz’s life. Including lots of pictures of Liz and Red. When Liz is in Red's apartment, Leonard Caul bursts into the apartment. He’s been following Red, waiting for a signal to reach out to him. When Liz started searching for Caul, that’s when he knew the time had come for them to meet. Liz gives Caul the interface for the Fulcrum and the key to operate it.


63. The Invisible Hand

The invisible hand is a provocative group of vigilantes who go after targets who don’t technically break any laws but are morally reprehensible. The members of the invisible hand are Stephan Altman, Bobby, Billy, Sophia and Zeke They all lived in town called Brenford. They were all childhood friends, and then all of their parents died from bone cancer they got from the toxic spills in their formerly idyllic hometown. There’s a 10-square-mile stretch of land deemed uninhabitable because a former chemical corporation dumped so many toxins there. A body belonging to the owner of a controversial gun manufacturing company has turned up, and Red believes he was killed by a provocative group of vigilantes known as The Invisible Hand. Samar and Ressler go to investigate the toxic burial site and find out that nine bodies have been unearthed, all with signs that suggest they were buried alive. Other than the cheap guns guy, they’ve been able to identify a man who hiked up the price on cancer pharmaceuticals, a retired judge, and a lawyer. The team traces down Stephan and Samar and Ressler head back to the uninhabitable land in Brenford and find that one of the old houses has smoke coming from the chimney. Inside, they find evidence of Steven living there, plus very high-end surveillance equipment. But no Steven. That’s because he’s using that surveillance equipment to track Anna Hopkins, and along with the rest of his friends, he’s just kidnapped her from her hotel. Anna Hopkins was the senior executive of the branch of the chemical company that was responsible for the poisoning of Brenford’s land. And she was responsible for executing the first payout — along with the judge and lawyer who have already been killed — that kept the dangers of living in Brenford quiet for a year before everyone started getting sick, before everyone started dying. But since Aram was also able to use the surveillance equipment to track Anna, Samar and Ressler intercept the Invisible Hand’s getaway. And these vigilantes open fire on the FBI. And all those Invisible Hands end up getting shot , except for one woman, who tells Ressler and Samar exactly where on the Brenford land Steven and Billy will be taking Anna. Now Steven has the same bone cancer his parents had, and nothing to lose. He leaves Billy bleeding out by the car, knocks Anna out, and takes her to the pre-dug grave. He’s shoveling on the dirt when Samar and Ressler get there, arresting Steve and performing CPR on Anna once they’ve dug her out. Steven doesn’t deny any of the murders.

After unsuccessful attempts to negotiate with Denisov, Red works with him to capture a former Russian business associate and use the company's history to blackmail them into repairing the pipeline.


68. Pattie Sue Edwards

Captain Patricia Sue Edwards is a former biochemist for the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Disease. She sits in a diner, waiting for her check, when her waitress starts coughing and soon collapses, a rash covering her body. As everyone tries to figure out how to help the waitress, Edwards takes a puff of an inhaler and quickly exits the restaurant just as all the other patrons begin coughing themselves. Around the time the CDC sends video footage of the woman who managed to leave the diner just before everyone else contracted the virus, we see that same woman, Edwards, dropping a smoking briefcase into the elevator of New York General Hospital. The agent in a hazmat suit who opens the briefcase only finds a bunch of inhalers and a note that’s labeled “treatment protocol.” It’s not another attempted outbreak of the pathogen: it’s the pathogen’s cure. But the CDC won’t use the alleged antidote on the victims until it’s been vetted, and the only way to figure out why someone would contaminate a bunch of people and then offer them a cure is to identify that someone. It seems Captain Edwards was released from her position in the Army about a year ago when her husband, a Navy SEAL stationed in Syria, was killed by another SEAL who caught him stealing a truckload of opium. The judge ruled that the man who killed Edwards’ husband was acting in self-defense. Edwards is trying to avenge her husband’s death. While the CDC director who’s coordinating with the Post Office on this case is explaining the pathogen Edwards created, the entire CDC computer network crashes. When the infected DNA from the victims was analyzed and uploaded to the CDC’s network, a computer virus was lurking inside it. Edwards’ very purpose for the outbreak was to hijack the CDC’s server, but the only way for Aram to see what she’s doing with it is to access the server farm, which just so happens to be inside the quarantine zone. Which explains why Edwards would have caused an outbreak and then offered the cure for it: she didn’t want anyone to die, she just needed to make that server farm inaccessible. Aram finds out that Edwards is not looking for something but for someone. Caleb James Cronan, the retired Navy SEAL who killed her husband, and the DNA she was searching. She shows up at Cronan’s house in her formal Army uniform, with a special contraption hidden inside her glove. When Cronan shakes her hand, he’s pricked by something. Then Edwards has him zip-tied to a chair, with a gun trained on him, telling him that she knows her husband wasn’t stealing opium because he told her he was delaying his ship-out from Syria until he figured out who was stealing it. She knows it was Cronan, and that he murdered her husband and blamed it all on him. What she doesn’t know is who else was involved, and she won’t give Cronan the antidote inhaler until he tells her. Cronan busts out of the chair when she’s least expecting it and gets her gun, but he also crushes the antidote in the process, so if they both don’t want to die, they have to get to her lab. The team and CDC agents detour them en route with the antidote in tow, but they can’t give it to them until they know Cronan is unarmed. Ressler approaches the vehicle, visibly unloading his gun, and they both get out of the car. Cronan is coughing out that she poisoned him, and Edwards is saying that she never wanted to hurt anyone; she just wanted to prove her husband’s innocence. In the end, Edwards’ husband is given a funeral befitting an honorably discharged Navy SEAL, as Ressler and U.S. Marshals stands by Edwards’ side as she receives his folded American flag in handcuffs.


69. Lady Luck

Lady Luck entices gamblers with major debts to “bet on themselves”. In return, their debts are forgiven and their families saved from ruin. She finds a person with significant debt and offers to pay it off for them if they kill someone for her. She pays off their debt and then she finds another gambler with severe debt and hires them to kill the last person whose debt she paid off. Of course, when they’re hired, they don’t know they’re the next person on the kill list, they just think it’s their lucky day. Lady Luck’s new gambling addict target Ned shows up to kill Henry at the park where he’s meeting his wife and is taken into custody by the FBI instead. Ned arranges a meeting with Lady Luck so that the Task Force can arrest her, but this is not her first rodeo; she recognizes many of the people in the diner as non-regulars through the binoculars she’s spying on him with from afar and knows it’s a set up. She gets away without anyone seeing her, but after reviewing nearby surveillance footage, Aram gets a license plate and an ID. Lady Luck is Agatha Tyche, a formerly upstanding citizen of the community, married to Lou Tyche, a gambling addict. While Agatha was giving birth to their second child, Lou slipped away from the hospital to buy a lottery ticket, and on the way back, was in a car accident that killed their son and badly injured Lou. A medical examiner returned the lottery ticket to Agatha after she’d had the baby girl, and she won $87 million. That baby girl is now a grown woman with a son of her own who adores his grandma. She’s also under the impression that her mom gave all the lottery money away because of its association with the accident, and that her father is dead. But her father isn’t dead. He’s holed away in a cabin where Agatha keeps him alive inside an mechanical respirator while she runs her gambling-addict-murdering enterprise.
When the FBI arrives, she throws a toaster in the sink and shorts out the circuits in an attempt to cut off Lou’s air supply and kill him. But she’s unsuccessful. Cooper tells Agatha’s daughter Moira that her mother is going to jail forever, but now she has her father back, and several millions of dollars. But Moira did know about what her mother was doing and is going to continue her murdering legacy.

Dembe gets abducted and we later learn that they were supposed to abduct only Reddington, but when Dembe helped him escape and tried to hold the men off, they took him instead. Directly to Dr. Perillos' office, where she has him strapped to a chair, with a set of torture tongs poking into his Adam's apple in two seconds flat. As she tightens the heretic fork on Dembe's neck, Perillo tells him a story about how, when she was 12, her mother went to the hospital with a neural infection, and was sent home with Ibuprofen and a misdiagnosis, leading to an infection that left her in excruciating pain for the rest of her life. Perillos continues to relay to Dembe that Red will never be able to understand the pain he goes through. Dembe doesn't give her an answerabout that or anything else. Because medical inequity is just an extra-credit topic of Perillos. Her real task is to torture information about the Sikorsky Archive out of Dembe for Townsend, and by proxy, Liz. Meanwhile Red, who's doing everything he can to locate Dembe, until the only option left is to make a trade. Red offers Townsend a trade: him for Dembe. Townsend agrees but Perillos is refusing to let Dembe go even though Townsend has instructed her to. Dembe manages to break his bindings and escape just before Perillos is about to inject him with jellyfish venom. She pulls a gun on him, but he stabs her in the hand with one of her torture-forks and escapes. Next we see Red being injected with jellyfish venom that will paralyze his lungs within the hour. There's an antidote, which Perillos says she'll be happy to give him just as soon as he answers Mr. Townsend's questions about the Sikorsky Archive. Which Red isn't going to do. As the venom starts to inhibit his breathing, Dembe who comes to Red's rescue, is demanding Perillos to give Red the antidote at gunpoint. She does, at which point Dembe ties her up and gives her a literal taste of her own venomous medicine in order to find out as much as they can about Townsend. But it's not a lethal taste, because when the Task Force shows up, she's still alive and she is taken into custody.

Because the gender ratio of the movement becomes problematic, several boys born into the cult, including Kenyon's own son, David, would be abandoned in the wilderness to die at the age of 8-10. While many died of sickness or exposure, the survivors, led by David, eventually banded together to form The Watchers, preaching their own version of Kenyon's teachings. As time went on, Kenyon becomes popular within fringe circles of the far right. While the authorities are somewhat aware of the group's crimes of polygamy and forced elder-minor relations, he has four prominent civil rights lawyers on retainer that stymied any attempts to enter the compound and investigate.

90. The Travel Agency

The Travel Agency was a consortium of anonymous killers responsible for a variety of unsolved murders the assassination of a civil-rights activist in 1983, the poisoning of an anti-Glasnost Soviet businessman in 1987. The Travel Agency a murder-for-hire ring that lived in the shadows for nearly 30 years. Their assassins carried out a variety of contract hits until they mysteriously closed their doors 12 years ago until now. Calvin Dawson works for the Agency and gets paged every time there is "job" for him. The page reads “342,” and he goes to a P.O. box marked 342, retrieving a red folder.
Inside is a dossier of information on a man who he tracks down at a Pennsylvania farm and shoots dead while he’s chopping wood. This man is Knobbs, owner of the Seawall Travel Agency. Next we see Red tell Liz that he’s come into contact with a man named Mitchell Dunning who believes he’s about to be assassinated by The Travel Agency. When Samar and Liz find him in Dupont Circle, he’s frantically packing his car alongside his wife. And just as he’s trying to tell them they must have the wrong guy, he’s not trying to avoid an assassination attempt, he’s shot twice in the chest. In Dunning’s car, they find a newspaper article detailing the recent murder of a man who was chopping wood at his farm among Dunning’s packed things. Among Seawall Travel’s old records are a list of people that the Post Office knows to have been killed, as well as a photo of Knobbs and his wife on vacation, where Mitchell Dunning can be seen in the background. That brings about the discovery that these two apparent strangers, in fact, owned a "murder business" together, but that said murder business is no longer out there murdering. It's employees are now in the business of being murdered. There was a large support staff doing all kinds of jobs within the murder-for-hire chain of command, all of whom are dead now. All killed except for one man. Ressler and Samar go straight to that man, who, in the middle of being told he’s in trouble by the Post Office staff, is shot at, seemingly out of nowhere once again.
But this time, Ressler sees the gun barrel retracting into a shockingly pristine ’85 Oldsmobile. After escaping death, the man tells the FBI that nobody in the Travel Agency ever saw each other, but he used to work with an asset who drove an Oldsmobile just like that 30 years ago. The only thing he knows about the man is that he would drop dossiers for him in a P.O. box in Seven Valleys, and then page him the P.O. box number to notify him: 3-4-2. At the Post Office in Seven Valleys, Ressler and Samar find out that the box has belonged to a Mr. Dawson for over 30 years, but he lives up the road at an assisted living home. At the home, they find Mr. Dawson is out with his wife Eleanor, who comes and takes him out for the day from time to time. Mr. Dawson suffers from anterograde amnesia, a brain injury sustained years ago during a robbery that means he can’t form new memories. He remembers everything that happened before the robbery, and nothing that happened after the robbery. The robbery that took place in 1989. So Dawson can't remember anything that has happened in the last 30+ years. Liz and Samar go to Eleanor’s house and discover that it exists in a time warp, save for the attic, which is a treasure trove of technology that keeps the ’89 Brokaw loopin’, the ’89 newspapers comin’, and the red yarn connecting Travel Agency employees all over the country. Eleanor had spent the last 30 years creating a murdering-of-murderers business. She didn’t know about his secret career at the Travel Agency back in 1989, but while she was struggling with the medical bills from his brain injury, the bank asked why she hadn’t dipped into her husband’s other account. She followed the money and connected the dots. The Dawsons were in Miami on what Eleanor thought was a family vacation, until her appendix burst; when she went in for surgery, Calvin said he would take the girls out of the hospital so they wouldn’t be scared. Instead, he took them on an assassination mission, leaving them in the car for what should have been a two-minute job. But the target knew he was coming. Calvin was beaten and left for dead in an alley as his two daughters remained locked in the back of the car, too young to know how to get out before they asphyxiated. As Calvin Dawson finds out that he caused the death of his daughters, he also finds out that his wife has spent the last 30 years avenging them with the systematic murder of every employee of the Travel Agency, using its own methods, the P.O. box, the dossiers, and Mr. Dawson himself against it. She shoots her husband, and an agent shoots her, bringing an end to the Travel Agency once and for all.

91. The Ethicist

Gerald Todd Klepper is a serial killer who arranges his murders to appear as accidents that adhered to government statistics on death rates.

Before Klepper went under Koehler’s knife he was on dialysis, and through some analyzing of kidney transplant recipients, Aram is able to figure out Klepper’s new identity and track his last purchase to a hotel in D.C. Tamerlane gives Liz the number that he used to contact Klepper, which she passes along to Aram to trace. Except, Liz gives the Post Office a fake number and gives the real number to Jennifer’s friend Buck to trace, saying she’ll deal with the consequences later. With the rest of the team on a false lead for now, Liz and Jennifer head to Klepper’s newly located RV. Klepper reluctantly lets them in. He tells Liz that the whole point of going to Koehler is that he was anonymous, so he knows nothing about Raymond Reddington’s former identity. However, Koehler did have a nurse who saw all of the patients before and after; she could tell them who Reddigton was before he became Reddington. While Liz is interrogating Klepper, she gets a call from Ressler. They ran a few other searches and were able to locate Klepper’s new RV location—they’ll be there to arrest him in 10 minutes. Overhearing this, Klepper decides to roll out some of his patented value-comparisons-on-human-life. Klepper wants Liz to hand over the gun in his cabinet so that he can take his own life before the FBI arrives to arrest him, and he thinks the value of whatever mission she’s on is a good enough reason to do so. Klepper tells Liz that he’ll give her the name of the nurse once she agrees to give him his gun so he can kill himself rather than go to prison. Liz tells Jennifer to leave the RV and hands Klepper the gun. Klepper gives her the name of the nurse and he shoots himself.

94. T. Earl King VI

The King family, who for 200 years, have been under the guise of being investors and businessmen. Their real business is running underground auctions during which they sold off highly valuable commodities, such as stolen art, radioactive materials, weapon components and even persons of interest, to the highest bidder. The auctions are always held in different locations with varying guest lists and sometimes took place years apart. Over the course of this lucrative business, there is a tradition among the King patriarchs to make their sons compete with each other to make the most profitable sales. While the total would be added to the family fortune to be inherited later, the son who makes the least would be forced to play a round of Russian roulette. This process continues until one of the sons dies and is repeated until there is only one sole heir to the business and the fortune left. The present-day patriarch, T. Earl King VI, makes his sons, Tyler and Francis, follow the same tradition. When they kidnap Red using Madeline Pratt as bait, Liz uses the identity of a proxy from an infamous Russian art collector with an interest in stolen paintings and infiltrates the auction to retrieve Red and shut down the Kings' business. After Red is saved by Liz.

100. Abraham Stern

Abraham J. Stern is a loan officer who’s been threatening certain clients with bankruptcy if they don’t help him commit crimes that get him closer to his treasure. Stern is after the penny that Red stole from Greyson Blaise. When Red and Dembe are in the car looking at the penny and talking about a treasure hunt their car is being hit. The car is flipped on its top, men are jumping out of the van with rifles, and shoes are walking toward Red’s car. But they stop amongst the broken glass and someone picks up the penny. Going in and out of consciousness, Red sees the face of the thief. After Stern got the penny, he gave the applicant an extended loan repayment plan. Red tells Cooper the man who stole the penny from him is on a quest. Because what Red knows is that there are three other rare 1943 Lincoln pennies just like this one, and they’re part of a Treasure(y) legend. In addition to Red’s stolen penny, recent other thefts indicate that all but one of the four pennies are in the thief’s possession. Red and Stern have a mutual interest, and for now, Red is willing to let Stern take the lead. After all, these pennies are his inheritance: the man who minted the four bronze pennies was Stern’s father. Stern Sr. worked at the Denver Mint and had big dreams of becoming a master engraver. But when the Federal Reserve Notes went missing, and Stern’s father was suspected but unable to be charged, he was demoted, forced to work in the boiler room. Eventually, when the Mint made security upgrades in 1943, he was let go altogether, his dreams dashed. So, when Stern’s father died, leaving behind four bronze pennies for his son, Stern considered his father a failure and spent the pennies on Fireballs. When the will executor gave him a letter from his father a month later, explaining the value in the pennies, he made it his life’s mission to find them again. With Stern and Red acting as a makeshift team now, Stern puts one of his men on decoding the pennies. He tells them that Lincoln’s face on the pennies is a topographical representation of a mountain range, and that when you layer the images of each penny over each other, it creates a grid that clearly depicts Denver. And when those pennies are layered, the slight flaws on the E Pluribus Unum inscription reveal a word: BOILER ROOM. The only problem is that boiler room was sealed off during the 1943 upgrades, covered up by a vault surrounded by 16 inches of steel in concrete. And the only thing they let in that vault is cash. Red calls Heddie to get $8 million in unmarked bills; they paint a truck with a few Treasury logos, Red and Stern suit up and they’re in. But that’s when Stern pulls a gun on Red. He forces Red back into the truck and locks it tight, as he and his men take down the vault guards, saw their way through 16 inches of cement, and find an old boiler stuffed with Federal Reserve Notes. Stern’s father did steal the Notes, he did hide them under the Treasury’s noses, and he did leave his son a map to an unimaginable fortune. The one thing Stern didn’t do was account for Raymond Reddington. Red unscrews his way out of the truck handily and meets back up with Heddie and a man who appears to be a plumber, and they begin handling a series of very large, cylindrical tubes. We don’t see where the tubes start, but we see that they end in Heddie’s van. Suddenly, in the boiler room where Stern and his men are packing the Federal Reserve Notes into duffel bags, everything begins to shift. As bills begin flying into a opening in the boiler room, through the tubes, and into Red’s van, Red calls Cooper and tells him what Stern is up too. Samar and Ressler come for Stern and is arrested.

Emma Knightly is a British woman who was hired by Red to infiltrate in the group. She previously worked for MI6 as a low-level analyst. Liz goes undercover with the Harem when they steal a Witness Protection List from private-security contractors who were hired to protect the government’s Witness Protection list. Liz shows up at the hotel room of the Harem’s leader, Margot, dressed as a hotel worker who needs to check the minibar. She steals Margot’s stolen-stolen-diamonds and leaves a note telling her to meet her in the lobby. Liz tosses his name around, along with the special skill she’d bring to the Harem team and she’s got herself an interview. That interview involves bringing the guy who vouched for Liz so they can prove how well they know each other. They ace the back-and-forth portion and then Margot tells Liz to shoot him to prove she will follow her lead, no questions asked. But Liz tells Margot she knows what she really values is loyalty, and she’s loyal to this guy just like she’ll be loyal to Margot. After tracking down the head of the group that had both their diamonds and the Witness Protection list stolen by the Harem and a mystery party, Liz uses the diamonds as leverage to find out how the list was stolen. They get a name: Mega-hacker Jack Heldridge. The Harem goes to Hong Kong where Jack Heldridge currently resides with a chip implanted in his hand containing the Witness Protection list. They have to break into an impenetrable apartment to get the chip out of the man’s hand and immediately attach it to an artificial heartbeat device so that the chip doesn’t destroy itself. They wait until Jack hosts a party in his penthouse; Sasha takes care of rigging the security cameras; Liz convinces Jack she needs to buy access to an identity from his newly acquired list; and Emma and Jessica wait in his bedroom to incapacitate him when he takes Liz there to speak more privately. But the wild-card Harem member uses their tranquilizer darts on two stray partygoers, and though they’re still able to get Jack down and the chip out, all the commotion alerts the security guards. Emma is already out of the room, but Jessica is immediately killed when she enters the hall. That leaves Liz. She breaks the window to distract the guard when he enters, but doesn’t climb out of it. She then holds him at gunpoint to get her out of there. She couldn’t escape the way they’d planned, because Emma snuck out with the chip containing the Witness Protection list, never to be seen again. Margot and Sasha are arrested and nobody knows where Emma is except for Red. He comes upon her watching her son’s soccer practice and tells her he can’t let her sell that list and expose so many innocent people. She tells Red that she wants out. Red promises Emma money so she can take care of herself and her son in order for the list.

The owner of the warehouse where the five bodies were found confirms that he did, indeed, rent out the space to a Spalding Stark, he thought, to store medical equipment. Inside, they find that Stark overlooked removing one of the injection guns. It has a unique enough design that Aram is able to show it to one of his online biohacking pals and identify the lab where it was manufactured: Nex Hack. The reports from the five victims’ bodies reveal that they were killed by a superfluous toxin that seemed to have been added to the formula that had previously cured Warren Kirby. Further digging reveals that Stark has a partner, Ethan Webb, who joined forces with him after he was fired from Crown Life for stealing proprietary data.Stark and Webb have recruited another batch of MCDD patients to a warehouspital because Stark believes the last deaths must have been the result of an error. The sketchy bottle Webb pulls from his pocket to add into the injection guns behind his partner’s back suggests otherwise. The FBI raids the warehouse and arrests Stark and Webb and back at the Post Office, Webb admits that he wasn’t fired by Crown Life; he was planted by them to put an end to Stark’s MCDD cure so that they could continue making billions off their medicines that merely treat MCDD, but don’t cure it.

Hannah gave birth to her daughter behind bars. After her rapist left prison on an earlier release, he filled for parental rights over his daughter with Hannah. This was the last straw for Hannah, leading her to kidnap and imprison her rapist in her basement. Fed up with men trying to control and impose their values over women´s bodies, Hannah initiated a clandestine operation ring and started to abduct proeminent and anti-abortion male politicians and other major conservative leaders, so she could surgically implant a uterus and fertilized embryos into their bodies. Following the procedure, Hannah would wait until the resulting fetus had its first viable heartbeat, which would forbid her victims to perform an abortion legally according to their states anti-abortion laws that they so eagerly supported or even helped to draft, and then released her now pregnant patients. Also, the father of all the embryos Hannah implanted into her victims was her very own rapist. When the officers go to her home to arrest her, they discover that she has her rapist, her daughter's father, and that he is the father of the embryos she implants. She explains her gesture, the fact of not being able to forget, not having had a say, the fact that her attacker was released for lack of space in prison and because, icing on the cake, he wanted to assert his parental rights over his daughter.

He feels that if we're going to survive climate change, we have to adapt to our environment the same way Homo floresiensis adapted to theirs. He wants us to survive. To do that, we have to evolve and since we don't have time to wait on natural selection, he figured out a way to speed up the process by altering the children's DNA. Rizal is arrested and all the kids that he kept locked up in his warehouse returned home to their parents.

Townsend has made it extremely clear that he wants to murder Liz in front of Reddington in order to achieve the most well-rounded revenge possible, but Page tells Liz that he can convince him to settle for just murdering Reddington. So Liz hands him the knife she stole and tells him to dig the chip out of the back of his neck. Once he does, she confirms that it's the kind of tracking device that can be intercepted, so if he memorizes the tracking number, Townsend can track the chip himself. Liz will turn on the chip to lead Townsend to Reddington once she knows that Townsend has accepted her terms. And she'll know that because Page is to tell Townsend to book a room at the Golden Leaf Hotel under the name Margaret French, and if that room is booked when Liz calls, she'll know their deal is on.Page escapes and Townsend agrees to Liz's plan.

Newton Purcell is a medical engineer and sound expert. He appears to work for an electric company digging up an underground electric box and plowing his shovel into it. The next time we see the electrician, he's arriving at Optimus Data to repair the power outage that he caused. The Optimus worker takes him back to the server room, where he gets to work repairing the damage, and when he leaves the server room promptly explodes. After this Purcell is seen abducting Ryan Healy from a parking garage by slamming his head with the hood of his own car. And when the man regains consciousness, he's strapped into a tub full of water, surrounded by speakers. Purcell introduces himself to the man from behind a glass partition that separates the speaker-bath from a soundboard. Purcell tells the man they've actually already met before, a few years ago when they had a conversation about the impact sound can have on a person's mind, body, and soul. He begins moving the dials on the soundboard, and the water in the tank attached to the speakers begins shaking. He tells the man that by making adjustments to the amplitude and frequency of sound waves, one can do anything from causing mild tingling to destroying blood circulation and nerve functions. And he asks the man the question; "Can person be killed by sound?". He will never be able to answer that question cause a little while later the Task Force is finding his sound-murdered body inside the stolen Culpepper Energy van, which they've now located. Purcell's next victim is Libby Bishop, a city council member. During the struggle to abduct Libby, Purcell lost his hearing aid, which is found by Liz and Park. They're quickly able to identify it as a device designed by Dr. Dara Lin, and Dr. Lin is able to tell them that it's actually a hearing aid designed to block sound rather than amplify it. When Purcell was a mechanical engineer working at Optimus Data, the hum of the servers began to drive him crazy, so he sold his house and moved to Maryland, only to find out that Optimus was trying to build another facility a mile from their new house. Luckily, construction was stopped by an environmental impact report that recommended further study of the acoustic effects of server farms. But suddenly, a few weeks later, the zoning commission canceled the study, and the facility was built anyway. Now that Purcell has stolen the data and knows Healy and Bishop were paid off to allow the Optimus facility to be built, he has someone to blame for the noise pollution that destroyed his life. And blame he will, by cranking all the dials on his sound board to 100. But that's when he notices Liz and Park circling his house. He runs to hide, leaving Bishop in the tub to be discovered by Liz, who radios to Park in the basement to cut the power. She does, saving Bishop's life, but soon she's in a struggle for her own when Purcell attacks her from behind. Park manages to wrap a cable around Purcell's neck, and it's clear she's not going to stop pulling until he stops breathing. Luckily, Liz makes it into the basement just in time to make her stop. They take Purcell to an interrogation room in the Post Office, where he confesses to everything in highly dramatic fashion.

The Freelancer is sent to jail but in 2021 The Freelancer is attempting to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming that his rights had been violated. The Freelancer has a fancy new lawyer who's filed an appeal claiming that the judge in the original case failed to pursue the Freelancer's Sixth Amendment request to disclose the identity of the FBI's informant who provided the evidence that got him arrested. Since Liz swore the affidavits based on that informant's knowledge, she needs to be in court to testify to the judge by the next day, or the evidence they got from Red may be excluded, and the Freelancer could walk. Liz doesn't show up in court and the judge will be dismissing all evidence in the Freelancer's case that came from Red and is granting the motion to withdraw his guilty plea. After they've both failed to catch Liz at her safe house, Red tells Cooper that he doesn't think it's a coincidence that Liz stole millions from him and shortly thereafter the Freelancer got an expensive new attorney demanding his release unless Elizabeth Keen magically appears in court. And we soon learn the reason why The Freelancer got out. Liz requires his services. Red tracks the Freelancer down to a youth hostel where he's hiding out after performing the job Liz got him out of prison for.

149. Nyle Hatcher

Nyle Hatcher is a mortician, a medical and forensics expert. He is also the owner of Sweet Rest Funeral Home. Hatcher is also known as the Boneyard Killer, named after multiple women's bodies were found buried just a few feet above the coffins in freshly-dug graves. Murdered and hidden in the last place anyone would ever look. All of the women were young, had a history of sex work, showed no signs of assault, and died from suffocation. Hatcher buried them alive, but had heavily drugged them so that they would basically asphyxiate in their sleep rather than suffer. He started the killings 8 years ago and Liz was assigned to his case back then. Present day, flash floods in a cemetery revealed the body of a young woman that wasn't supposed to be buried there, bearing all the same signifiers as the other victims of the Boneyard Killer. The Task Force's medical examiner identifies the newly uncovered body as Mara James and says that her lack of defensive wounds, and soil in the lungs all line up with the other victims. But there's one new thing, because her body was more preserved than the others, he's able to identify a C-section scar on her abdomen that couldn't have been more than a month old at the time she was killed. After Liz confirms that all of the former victims had given birth just before being murdered, Red is able to bribe a file clerk to dig up evidence that they'd also all been part of secret settlements with wealthy widows. Five mothers who died soon after giving birth, and five wealthy fathers who not only died soon after conception, but all died in crazy accidents in four different states, yet somehow had their death certificates signed by the same mortician: Nyle Hatcher. Hatcher is a member of the Disaster Mortuary Operation Response Team, which dispatches morticians to mass casualty events to help identify bodies. It's also given him access to recently deceased wealthy men up and down the east coast for the last decade. As it turns out, sperm is viable up to 36 hours post-mortem and Hatcher has been extracting it from dead bodies, and preying on the vulnerability of young sex workers, by convincing them that their way out of this lifestyle is to get artificially inseminated, have a baby, file a paternity claim, and make a secret child support settlement that they split with Hatcher. And then Hatcher murders them. On Hatcher's hard drive, Park finds a list of the fathers that includes one name they didn't know about: Abraham Geller. That's when we see Angela, 10 months later, with a baby in her backseat, getting a call from Hatcher telling her that the money from Abraham Geller's lawyer has been wired through. He tells her to drop the baby off at a fire station as planned, and meet him at Cedar Wynn cemetery to pick up her cut of the money. But when Angela arrives, she still has the baby, saying she just couldn’t give her up. As Hatcher plunges a syringe into her neck, he tells her not to give it another thought. After he dug a grave for Angela and put her in, the team arrives at the cemetery to arrest Hatcher. Everybody goes looking for Angela and the find a freshly dug grave and start digging so they can pull her out just in time. Back at the Post Office Hatcher tells Ressler and Liz that being a mortician is a lonely existence that he became convinced he could solve with money. So he came up with his plan to steal "from people who wouldn't care that it was missing. The dead." If he needed to murder a bunch of women along the way in order to execute his insane plan, well that doesn’t seem to bother him at all. And yet, he wasn't finding fulfillment in all the money and murder. Hatcher forged adoption papers for all of the children he bred and used all the money he extorted to raise them as his own.

With the younger Kemp's takeover came a new gun, the FineCal9, which Ressler calls "the gun of choice for violent young criminals." It's the cheapest 9mm gun available, and Red says Kemp has been flooding already high-crime markets with them, making them readily available and affordable to street-level criminals. During an undercover mission at a gun show, that Gordon Kemp is attending in order to push Fine Caliber Arms' PR talking points following the outcry over Sophia's death, Ressler and Liz arrest Kemp after he told his employee to sell 30 guns to girl that was undercover helping the FBI. The judge calls Cooper into an off-the-record mediation to figure out why he made a controversial arrest with so little evidence. Cooper says he believes they have enough to convict Kemp of conspiring to sell to someone who was prohibited from buying his weapons. But the audio from the gun show is unclear on what Kemp actually said, and most of the other signifiers that Kemp was acting in bad faith would just be assumptions. The judge finds the evidence insufficient to sustain the charges and dismisses the case. After all this Gordon Kemp is planning to send a huge shipment of FineCal9s to Chicago the next day specifically because demand for guns in high-crime areas goes up after viral shootings like Sophia's. Red is going to try to hijack Kemp's shipment. So while Red works on his hijacking plan, Cooper convinces a very begrudging Kemp to let the FBI help him. Ressler, Liz and Park need to escort the shipment to Chicago to make sure Red can't hijack it. Cooper assigns Liz to the truck carrying the guns, telling her that Red might have more hesitation with her in the escort, and he assigns Park and Ressler to the two empty decoy trucks they're sending out at the same time. But Red wasn't anticipating the decoy trucks, so when Dembe gives him the intel that three trucks are being sent out, he calls Liz to ask which truck he should follow. He tells her to stay on the phone through his count of 10 if hers is the truck with Kemp's gun inside. And she does. Red's team stages a car crash on Lizzie's route, holds her at gunpoint, opens the back of the truck and there are no guns inside. When Kemp returns home after a long day of not caring about how many innocent lives he's been complicit in ending, there Red is, waiting to tell Kemp it's time to face the consequences of the careless way he puts guns in the hands of criminals. As Kemp begs Red not to shoot him, he tells Kemp he recently heard another person plead for her life when faced with a FineCal9 gun and he shoots Kemp.

The Cryptobanker waits until he sees the hacker type his password into his laptop, then shoots him in the head, dooming the 1,000 people who are set to receive a lethal shock in three hours if Pearson Diagnostics doesn’t regain control of its servers. Luckily, in the hacker’s hacker lair, Aram finds a docking station that leads the Task Force to the manufacturer of his laptop, and that somehow gives them access the computer remotely - just as soon as whoever has it turns it on. The Cryptobanker finally opens the hacker’s laptop with 30 minutes until the 1,000 people are set to die, and Samar, Ressler, and Aram storm his location. They demand the laptop, but the Cryptobanker pulls a gun on Samar, so Aram shoots him right in the shoulder. Then, following one of very few times he’s fired his weapon, Aram has to figure out how to deactivate a murder code in under one minute. In the end through Aram's actions 1,000 people don’t die and the Cryptobanker is in FBI custody.

163. The Forecaster

When Liz finds a cardboard diorama depicting a woman floating face down in a lap pool with a pitcher of green liquid on a table to the side, at her doorstep, Liz and the team are being up on the trail of a person who can predict murders before they even happen. An hour after Liz found the diorama at her doorstep Federal judge Trish Culpepper was found dead from poisoned green juice at her country club pool. Not even Red has an idea who this blacklister could be. When a second diorama is found at Liz's doorstep enough partial prints are left behind to identify Fiona Driscoll as the delivery woman. But she’s not the one organizing the murders or even the one making the dioramas. They’re not depictions of crime scenes she’s planning, they’re premonitions. And they’re not her premonitions. They are her nine year old daughter Maggie's. For the last two years, she’s been making these dioramas. Fiona soon figured out Maggie's art projects were forecasting worldwide tragedies before they happened. But Maggie isn’t able to tell Fiona how she’s predicting these events. She suffers from a constellation of birth defects that impair her hearing, communication, and cognitive functions. Eventually Aram figures out how Maggie got these premonitions. She wears a tiny, high-frequency hearing aid, and it’s possible she’s picking up certain phone conversations around her. If the killer or killers live or work near her apartment building, that could explain how she knows the details of so many of these events before they happen. To figure out if that’s the case, Aram, Ressler, and Liz head to the Driscoll apartment and turn off everything electric that could interfere with Maggie’s hearing-aid frequency so Aram can also tap into it. Soon, they’re hearing bits of a conversation and attempting to track where it’s coming from. Unfortunately, the conversation is about how a little girl’s mom went to the FBI about her daughter’s crime premonitions. Even more unfortunately, Liz is looking out of the Driscolls’ window when the person having the cell-phone conversation in the building next door begins looking around to see how a little girl might possibly be overhearing his criminal chats. He spots Liz and takes off, so Liz and Ressler start running toward his building. The mystery man's plan was to run toward the person causing him problems, and soon, Liz and Ressler are looking from the man’s apartment into the Driscoll’s home, where they see Aram lying on the ground and Maggie being carried off. They locate Maggie by turning up the frequency on Ressler’s walkie to try and reach out to Maggie. It does ring painfully in her hearing aid; she calls out, helping Liz locate her and scaring off her abductor. They don’t catch the man, but are able to find out who he is. His name is Ben Charnquist. Each of the catastrophes Maggie depicted involved someone who was so invaluable to his or her company that their death majorly affected said company’s stock prices. But Charnquist doesn’t seem like the type to figure out shorting the stocks on his own. his partner is Chris Farnsworth, CEO of Jesek Private Equities. Farnsworth’s final plan is to hit his own company. They’ve been working with a third man to move all the money they’ve scammed to an account in Panama, and Maggie’s final diorama helps them figure out that Farnsworth plans to kill said money launderer via and old-timey elevator before escaping with their apparently untraceable riches.
