The Blacklist

Chapter 417 Killing the Eastern European Drug Lord Marco
This case is another new shock to the postal agents. Environmental protection is important, but if it is taken to an abnormal level, it will cause big problems! This is the common feeling of everyone.

Carrie was originally planning to slack off, but was dragged by Elizabeth to participate in the case almost throughout the entire process, of course this did not include the final case report!

The outcome was not very good. Due to time constraints, neither Councillor Robert nor Jonathan was able to be rescued. By the time they started coughing up water lice, more insects in their bodies had already gnawed their internal organs, leaving them riddled with holes. The internal bleeding alone was not enough to save them!
On Friday, December 12, the Baltimore branch of CTU reported a new situation. A kidnapping occurred on the street outside the high-end residential area of ​​Federal Hill. A woman named Margaret Reiner was kidnapped by unknown armed men. A gunfight broke out at the scene and three people were killed... After receiving a call from a passerby, the local police found that Ms. Reiner was on the CTU's list of people to be investigated, so they reported it.

When Elizabeth saw the name, she immediately remembered that this was the nurse of Hans Kohler, the underground plastic surgeon who had handled her case before. She was kidnapped, and Elizabeth immediately thought that this matter was related to Dr. Kohler, so she decided to check it out.

Alam immediately tracked Margaret's cell phone signal, but found that after leaving Baltimore, she lost the signal at an altitude of 6400 meters. It was obvious that she was on the plane and rose to a higher altitude!

After SER's investigation, the three people who were shot dead at the scene were holding unregistered pistols. The identities of two of them still need to be found, but the other one is confirmed to be Marko Jankovic's bodyguard. However, it is not known which party is the kidnapper, only that the other party is protecting Margaret.

Marko is the largest supplier of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide, a strong semi-synthetic hallucinogen) in Hungary and even in Eastern Europe. LSD is sold at a high price in the underground market, with one gram worth $1.5.

According to Reddington, Marco would send people to transport the goods to Montreal, Canada, and then transport them into the United States via drug mules, but Elizabeth and others did not understand the meaning of the term "drug mule".

SER only found four photos of Marco in the databases of various law enforcement agencies, one of which was a photo of him with a woman, and the woman was Margaret who was kidnapped before. This proved that Marco's bodyguard died because of protecting Margaret, which means that she had an unusual relationship with Marco.

After analyzing the flight data during that time period, Alam determined that Margaret was carried on a private plane that took off from Washington Dulles International Airport and was headed for Montreal. This basically proved that she was not kidnapped, but rescued by Marco's people!
The dilemma Elizabeth now faces is: if she wants to continue the investigation, she has to find a way to catch Marco, but she has to go abroad, and she doesn't know if she can do it; but if she ignores this matter, she feels unwilling, so she calls Reddington who is still in Europe, hoping to get help.

Of course, Reddington took Elizabeth's request very seriously and soon found out that Margaret is now Marco's girlfriend and the luxury apartment she lives in Baltimore is also an asset under Marco's name.

It is now basically certain that someone wanted to kidnap Margaret, and the bodyguards sent by Marco had a gunfight with the kidnappers for her. The final result should be that Marco's bodyguards took Margaret away from the United States.

The next things will be difficult to handle. Without accurate intelligence, even if CTU is powerful enough, it is impossible for it to go abroad to Canada or Hungary to conduct a large-scale investigation. The subsequent things will be difficult to handle.

Carrie really didn't want to get involved in this case. He was now planning how to take complete control of the secret society, so he didn't want to be distracted. But Elizabeth came to him for decision, and he couldn't just ignore it!
After thinking about it, Carrie decided to compromise and help her get this done so that she could do other things. On Sunday, Carrie told Elizabeth that there was intelligence that a courier from Marco would enter the country today at Washington's Dulles International Airport. She was a Canadian woman named Alexandra.

No one doubted Carrie's intelligence, so Elizabeth immediately led people over and found Alexandra, who was pregnant! Because of Carrie's instructions, everyone did not make any mistakes and arrested her immediately and sent her to the airport hospital...

Half an hour later, the doctor removed eight pounds of prosthesis from Alexandra's stomach, which was full of LSD. The value of this lysergic acid diethylamide reached 50 million US dollars!

After checking, there was only one number in Alexandra's phone. Elizabeth dialed it directly, and the other party was Marko Jankovic! What she didn't expect was that the other party had already arrived in Washington.

It turns out that there is no future in falling in love with a drug dealer - after hearing that goods worth 50 million US dollars fell into the hands of CTU, Marco immediately agreed to exchange them for Margaret!
In order to ensure the success of the operation, Elizabeth deliberately brought Carrie along.

As expected, when they met in a North District parking lot to make the deal, Marco played tricks. He wanted to keep the goods and the people at the same time. He was so bold as to kill the SER people. However, with Carrie present, only hot bullets were waiting for them - in a close-range gunfight, no one could beat Carrie!

The result was that Marco and his eight bodyguards were all shot dead on the spot, and Margaret was also captured directly.

Margaret was frightened by the series of incidents and immediately confessed that a group of people wanted to kidnap her in order to interrogate her about Reddington. Who was Reddington before the plastic surgery? But she really didn't know. She only knew that it was a Soviet woman who arranged for Reddington to come to Kohler for plastic surgery!
A Soviet woman? Katerina Rostova?

Hearing this, Elizabeth believed more in what Reddington and Carrie had said before, but at the same time, she also realized that the fake Katarina was stepping up her actions and getting closer and closer to her!
Kerry believes that although Elizabeth's handling of the recent cases was slightly inadequate, she was still quite satisfactory. As a new head of a department, she was basically qualified. Of course, there are still many shortcomings, which requires accumulating experience in future work.

After his previous series of actions, the main plot of the father-daughter feud in the original story was completely abandoned. Now Elizabeth and Reddington have a very good relationship, which makes Carrie worry-free.
