On The Blacklist, Red (James Spader) and Liz Keen (Megan Boone) are on the run from the FBI. Now they’re headed toward the Midwest — Iowa, to be exact. That’s where the world’s largest argiculture business is laundering money for the Cabal. Red and Liz are on a mission to take down the Cabal (which has framed Liz for murder) and to clear Liz’s name. Along the way, they’re going to run into blacklister Eli Matchett.
