'The Blacklist' Season 2 Spoilers: 'Ruslan Denisov' Plot Revealed, Will Fulcrum Continue To Play A Role? [VIDEO]
The Blacklist will push Luther Braxton into the rearview following the Super Bowl, making Ruslan Denisov the next baddie on Red's list.
The eponymous villain of episode 11, Denisov (Faran Thair) will come into play when an undercover CIA agent falls off the grid. Kidnapped by Uzbekistan separatists, the spook's disappearance will prompt a rescue mission.
Red (James Spader) being the criminal genius he is, he will know exactly who is behind the latest international incident - Denisov, one of Red's more dangerous past associates.
The Blacklist's post-Super Bowl episode will give one character the answer to the Fulcrum mystery, but the rest of the NBC ensemble will continue to follow breadcrumbs as season 2 progresses.
You will hear about The Fulcrum in the Super Bowl episode," series creator Jon Bokenkamp informed TV Guide. "Red is assembling those clues and trying to figure what out Fitch was trying to warn him about. There's a ticking clock that underscores the back half of the season."
