“The Blacklist” season 1, episode 15: “The Judge” airs Monday on NBC.
Coming up on the next episode, when a prominent prosecutor is found after he was missing for 12 years Red believes that this is the work of Ruth Kipling also known as “The Judge.” Only a myth, The Judge is believed to run an underground criminal appeals process in which those who have wrongly imprisoned and punished others are judged and punished themselves. Meanwhile, Red investigates the woman who tempts Tom while in Orlando at a teachers’ conference.
NBC describes the show as follows:
“For decades, ex-government agent Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington (James Spader, ‘The Office,’ ‘Boston Legal) has been one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as ‘The Concierge of Crime.’ Now, he’s mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: He will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist, Ranko Zamani, under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Keen (Megan Boone, ‘Law & Order: Los Angeles’), an FBI profiler fresh out of Quantico. For Liz, it’s going to be one hell of a first day on the job. What follows is a twisting series of events as the race to stop a terrorist begins. What are Red’s true intentions? Why has he chosen Liz, a woman with whom he seemingly has no connection? Does Liz have secrets of her own? Zamani is only the first of many on a list that Red has compiled over the years: a ‘blacklist’ of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will help catch them all… with the caveat that Liz continues to work as his partner. Red will teach Liz to think like a criminal to ‘see the bigger picture’ – whether she wants to or not.”
“The Blacklist” season 1, episode 15 airs Mar. 3 at 10 p.m. EST on NBC.
