The Blacklist

Chapter 113: Secret Society Members Make a Trial
At this time, Donald asked: "This kind of prison should be highly guarded, right? How did this Braxton escape?"

"The CIA analysis suggests that someone outside had bribed the factory's guards..." Kate said.

"After successfully escaping from prison, why doesn't he leave? What is he occupying the prison for?" Donald asked again.

"Unless he has something to do!" Nawabi said, "Agent Kate, you should ask the CIA, what else is there in the 'factory' besides guards and criminals?"

A moment later, Kate contacted the CIA and came back to say: "In addition to being a prison, the 'factory' is also an important node in the CIA's global information network. Its host server is directly connected to Langley's central database..."

Cooper frowned and said, "The CIA is too unreliable. They actually put such an important network node in a prison for serious criminals! How stupid!"

Mira shook her head, pretending not to hear, and said, "Then we can conclude now that Braxton's target is this server! He wants to find something in the CIA database!"

Everyone now thought of the content of the intelligence that Reddington had provided before: Braxton planned to escape from prison and steal a confidential intelligence data package, which included important intelligence that threatened national security!

In the SLR upstairs in the post office, in Carrie's office, Elizabeth, who was watching the live broadcast, asked, "Reddington, you know what he's looking for, right?"

Reddington looked at her, thought of Carrie's words, nodded, and said, "I know that what Braxton is looking for is the 'fulcrum'."

"What is the 'fulcrum'?" Elizabeth asked.

"'Fulcrum' is a detailed criminal file that records the criminal facts of a behind-the-scenes organization that has manipulated the politics and economy of various countries in recent decades. Its content can prove the existence of this interest group called the 'Secret Society'. If this file is made public, some powerful people will step down or even be executed." Reddington explained.

"The 'fulcrum' is in this 'factory'?" Elizabeth asked.

"No." Reddington said, "The server there can be connected to the CIA's central database. Braxton has a special search model. He wants to find clues about the 'Fulcrum' in the database."

At this time, Elizabeth did not realize that the "fulcrum" was related to herself. She was worried about the hundreds of prison administrators in the "factory".

Reddington glanced at Carrie, and his eyes seemed to mean: Look, I'm going to tell the truth now!

Carrie shook her head helplessly. How could this be possible?

In the command hall of the post office, after introducing the situation, Kate asked Cooper, "Can you contact your informant and ask him if he knows any other information?"

Cooper did not refuse this time and returned to his office. He originally wanted to call upstairs directly, but then he suddenly had an idea and called Dembe's cell phone. After the call was connected, he asked him to ask Reddington if he had any other information to provide?

Soon, Dembe conveyed Reddington's words: one is to send armed personnel to raid and retake the prison, and the other is to blow it up completely. There is no other way.

After leaving the office, Cooper told Kate the result.

Kate left the post office while calling the CIA...

Is this the end of the cooperation? Everyone was confused.

Agent Kate Goodson arrived at the underground parking lot and got into her car. After the driver drove away from the post office, she asked, "Did you detect a signal just now?"

The driver said, "The monitoring team just reported that the phone in Cooper's office called a mobile phone number. However, it is very strange that the frequency is UHF, which should be the frequency band used by satellite phones... The headquarters is still tracking it..."

Kate nodded, said nothing more, and looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking! ——
At this time, in Carrie's office, Dembe suddenly said, "Lee, someone is tracking my phone!" Ha! Carrie immediately understood and laughed, "Agent Kate from the department is not simple. She is colluding with the CIA!"

Reddington said worriedly, "Richard, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Carrie said, "The phone that Dembe is using now is really untraceable. They can only waste their efforts. Don't bother with him."

Elizabeth next to him was surprised and asked, "Are you saying that Agent Kate sent by the Ministry is a mole?"

"It must be." Gina said, "This is selling FBI secrets to the CIA. It must be an insider."

"It's not that simple." Carrie said, "She arranged surveillance personnel in advance in order to find out Reddington's location. This is not just collusion with the CIA!"

Reddington nodded and said, "Yes, she should be targeting me."

"Gina, ask Corissa to check out this Kate Goodson." Carrie said. He knew that this female agent was from DOJ on the surface, but was actually under the command of the director of the CIA's secret operations department. She could be a special agent (level 4 confidential authority) at any move. The strength of the secret society was indeed terrifying!
Reddington obviously thought of this as well. Seeing that Carrie didn't look worried at all, he felt relieved for some reason.

At this time, Kerry asked again: "Old Lei, is there anyone in the aviation administration department in Alaska?"

"It will be there if needed. What needs to be done?" said Reddington.

"No matter how Braxton messes around in the 'factory', he will definitely run to land. Alaska is the most likely place..." Carrie said, "Have someone monitor the helicopters going out to sea and flying back. We will definitely be able to find his whereabouts."

"I understand." Reddington agreed, took the "8110" from Dembe, and walked aside to make a call.

Elizabeth asked in confusion: "Lee, why don't you let Aram check it out?"

Gina came back and put her arm around her shoulders and said, "Liz, have you forgotten that Agent Kate directly mobilized the resources of the Ministry of Justice to monitor SER's network?"

Elizabeth frowned and said, "Fulcrum, secret society, inner traitor... is it so complicated?"

"So, Liz, don't underestimate this world!" Carrie walked to the sofa and sat down, drinking tea and said, "Old Lei has a hard life. He carries a lot of secrets and can be killed if he's not careful. It's not easy to live!"

The two women followed and sat down. Elizabeth asked, "Does Reddington really often get into danger?"

"What do you mean by often? It should be all the time!" Carrie said, "Look at him, he lives like a normal human being, but in fact he is just a stray dog, he doesn't even have a fixed home, he's just afraid that when he wakes up, he'll be put in a cage!"

Next to him, Dembe swore: I really don’t want to laugh…
