From the start of the season, Red (James Spader) has been on a dangerous quest to find the Fulcrum to stay alive.The classified information about it was revealed in the past episode, and he had to look for a way to keep out of danger as several important people who are not happy with the revelations begin to haunt him down together with FBI Agent Liz Keen (Megan Boone).
