The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has some serious competition in catching fugitive Liz Keen (Megan Boone) in the upcoming episode of the NBC series "The Blacklist."
In "Arioch Cain," Cartermatt reports that dangerous bounty hunters are after Liz's head when a huge reward is promised to anyone who catches her. These assassins give the Bureau a run for its money as they all race to get to her before anyone else does. Meanwhile, Red (James Spader) knows what is at stake, now that the game has changed. He will then decide to form an alliance with a dangerous enemy to keep Liz alive.
The synopsis reveals that the fugitive and the FBI will form a partnership to make sure that Liz remains safe. For Red, getting arrested is better than getting killed. The authorities want to apprehend Liz for her crime, while the hunters are going in for the kill. Without the support of the operatives, they have no hope of getting away unscathed. Before either of them can escape, Liz will be dead. Will Red rue the day he joins forces with the FBI?
Last episode, Liz's estranged husband Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold) was officially on board to track her down. Director Cooper (Harry Lennix) approached him and offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to help Liz. He wanted Tom to find Karakurt. Tom knew finding the Russian assassin was tantamount to clearing up his wife's name, so he agreed. He and the director forged a plan to infiltrate a crime ring where Karakurt was said to be hiding.
Meanwhile, Liz and Red set out to find a woman known as the Djinn, as she could reportedly turn any fantasy to a reality. Liz wanted revenge for the people who wronged her. At the same time, they wanted to find the Cabal, which was reportedly one of her many clients. The International Business Times reports that even though the first Djinn they encountered was a fake, they eventually trace the real one to one Nasim Bakhash (Christine Tawfik). Liz and Red blackmailed her into giving the journal with her client list, then got away via a helicopter.
"The Blacklist" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on NBC.
