The Blacklist

Chapter 452 Dom tells the story of the past
When Carlisle was released, the Brian team was ordered to find Professor Adrian, but found that he was not at work or at home! They located his cell phone and found a single woman named Margo Palash and arrested Adrian.

In the subsequent interrogation, Elizabeth and her friends discovered that Margot was once Adrian's student, and that they had a secret love affair during the serial murders six years ago. Adrian went to her house to ask her to testify.

The investigation results showed that in one of the first three cases, Adrian and Margot were indeed in a hotel in West Virginia, 300 kilometers away; and in the most recent case, campus security confirmed that when Jenny disappeared, Adrian was in the office grading homework and had not left.

These two things seem to confirm that Adrian is innocent, but the current situation is more like someone is deliberately framing him. So who is this person?
Elizabeth began to rethink the whole case. At this time, she thought of what Carrie had said before and hesitated whether to change direction and investigate Kimberly Owens.

At this time, forensic personnel from the local CTU state bureau found a partial fingerprint at the bottom of a liquid nitrogen tank while examining the physical evidence found in the wooden house. After comparison, it was confirmed that the owner was Paul Lamar, who worked in the laboratory of the Hersh Chemical Plant.

Brian led people to find Paul and took him back to the CTU State Bureau for questioning. Paul admitted that several bottles of liquid nitrogen were missing from the laboratory, and he suspected that his stepdaughter Kimberly had stolen them...

After things came full circle, the clues actually pointed to Kimberly!
Without having time to think, Elizabeth rushed into Kimberly's house with a group of agents, and caught her filling liquid nitrogen into the freezer in the basement. The person tied up in the freezer was Carlisle who had just been released from prison!

It turned out that Kimberly had been secretly in love with Carlisle when she was in college, but Carlisle never paid attention to her, so she killed Carlisle's three girlfriends in succession, which led to Carlisle being wrongfully imprisoned.

Later, Kimberly started the "Thaw" podcast to speak up for Carlisle. After winning him a chance for a retrial, she killed again and put the blame on Professor Adrian, thus allowing Carlisle to be released.

Tonight, Carlisle went to her house out of gratitude, but after going to bed, he accidentally found a bloody hammer in the closet, and then he knew the truth! But he couldn't leave safely. He was knocked unconscious by Kimberly with a hammer and dragged to the basement... If the agents hadn't arrived in time, he would have died under the liquid nitrogen!

The case was over, but Elizabeth regretted not listening to Carrie earlier. Otherwise, the case would have been solved long ago, and there would have been no need to take so many detours! —
When SER returned to the tenement building in New York, Elizabeth went to Carrie to apologize for the incident, but he didn't take it seriously. He just said that it was good that the case was solved and he should take a good rest.

In fact, Carrie basically ignored the case because he had more important things to do!
Previously, Matt of the Blue Sword was able to obtain Virginia's information from overseas organizations. With this information, he found Katarina's stepfather, and then found her biological father Dom!
The danger of this matter is that if he can find out, others will also find out, which means that Dom is not safe now! So he secretly sent Matt to take Dom to the tenement building and placed him in a specially set up secret room on the top floor.

I have been communicating with Dom these past two days in order to learn more about the situation. I want to find out where the danger will come from? Who might have sent the killer? What is the fake Katerina doing... Dom provided information about an important person: In the early 1990s, when the Soviet Union had just collapsed, Katerina worked for the secret society and helped incite the uprising. She was considered a traitor by the Soviet Union and later Russia, and they had been hunting her down. For this reason, the KGB even sent out the top killer Anton Virov, who had not been heard from for many years.

Dom is an old man in the KGB. He knows the nature of this kind of killer very well. He thinks that Vilauf will never give up the mission and should still be hunting down Katarina! If there is any danger now, he is the most likely one!
Later, Dom also told some of the things that happened after Katarina defected. Elizabeth and Gina were stunned, but Carrie was thinking, "The old man's story is nine-tenths true and one-tenth false. It's a good story!" However, the real facts are more exciting than the story.

According to Dom, after Catalina handed Martha over to Mr. Kaplan's care, in order to protect her daughter's safety, she decided to commit suicide and let the pursuers get what they wanted. So she chose to jump into the sea, but was eventually washed back to the beach by the waves!
At that time, Catalina fainted in a church, and a kind priest sent her to a shelter for women. The newspaper reported that someone found her personal belongings thrown on the beach and believed that she had committed suicide in the sea, which gave her a chance to be reborn.

Later, in the shelter, in order to rescue another inmate, Irina, Katerina killed her alcoholic boyfriend who was causing trouble, left the shelter, used the man's credit card to get cash, and secretly contacted Ilya Koslov who was working at the Russian Embassy in the United States.

With Ilya's help, Katerina got a new identity, but just as she settled her mother Virginia who remarried in the United States, KGB killer Anton Virov tracked her down and she had to flee.

In order to prevent her father Dom in Moscow from being implicated, Katerina and Ilya risked returning to the country to find him. Dom was very angry about his daughter's treason and almost handed her over to the KGB himself. But in the end, for the safety of his granddaughter Masha, he agreed to his daughter's request, gave up his identity, fled Russia with the help of Ilya, and went to the United States under an assumed name!

Later, Elijah impersonated Reddington, established a criminal empire, and secretly took care of Martha, but Katarina disappeared in the crowd and Dom never saw her again.

When they met for the last time that year, Catalina gave Dom a key to a mailbox in upstate New York. He checked it every week thereafter, but there was never any letter... But just two months ago, he received a letter from Virginia to her daughter in the mailbox!

There was nothing surprising in the letter itself. Virginia just informed her daughter of her illness and knew that her end was near. She hoped that her daughter could forgive her for leaving and not fulfilling her motherly responsibilities. She also hoped that Katharina would live well in the future.

Dom, Virginia, Catalina, and Elizabeth, this family's experience is legendary enough!
