On The Blacklist, a bounty has been placed on former Agent Liz Keen’s (Megan Boone) head. Red (James Spader) will try to protect her as best he can but with multiple possible assassins coming after her, it’s going to be tricky. The FBI isn’t going to protect her, they want to arrest her. And they might be getting closer to apprehending Keen. In the episode “Arioch Cain,” Agent Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) and US Deputy Attorney General Reven Wright (Adriane Lenox) meet with a powerful politician who chairs a powerful committee.
