'The Blacklist' season 3 spoilers: The Cabal throws caution to the wind, goes full force after Liz in episode 10
The Cabal will not rest until Liz (Megan Boone) is six feet under the ground in the upcoming episode of the hit NBC series "The Blacklist."
In "The Director: Conclusion," TV Guide reports that after being outwitted by Red (James Spader) and his entourage last episode, the cartel, with the CIA director Kotsiopulos (David Strathairn) at the center, will make sure Liz is dead at the end of the day. The Cabal knows that once she tells what she knows to the court, it will be the end of the corrupt government officials hiding behind its protective ring. The Director, in particular, stands to lose everything, and as the viewers saw last week, he is getting desperate.
Unfortunately for him, Red is planning a huge surprise for the Cabal. As seen in the promo, he, along with Aram (Amir Arison) and Samar (Mozhan Marno), who helped him in retrieving the "special package" last episode, will now put their ingenious plan in motion. The parcel from the FBI appears to be at the center of their strategy. Viewers saw that it contained a mechanism used to print currency. Red traded this to his connections in Venezuela in exchange of a favor. Exactly what that is will be revealed in episode 10.
For the heist, Tom (Ryan Eggold), Cooper (Harry Lennix), and Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) will all be in on Red's scheme to save Liz. The clip shows Red mentioning a "specific attack" that the team must execute flawlessly. At the same time, their Venezuelan plan is designed to clear her name with the authorities. From the looks of things, they need to act quickly, as the Cabal is also not wasting time in its mission to assassinate Liz.
In the teaser, Liz is saying that the enemies are going to kill her "today." Her words seem to be prophetic, as the next thing viewers see is a gunman shooting at her and her escorts. Ressler is trying to be a hero by using his body to cover Liz. Will Red and his motley of collaborators succeed in saving their friend? Or will the Cabal get to her first?
"The Blacklist" season 3 airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.
