3
4	!!The Stewmaker
5	* Upon his return to Washington, Red tells the FBI about The Stewmaker, a body disposal expert who uses chemicals to destroy the evidence. The Stewmaker is responsible for concealing hundreds of murders and has a "trophy collection" of his victims.
6
7	!!The Good Samaritan Killer
8	* The Good Samaritan. He always has a calm and casual demeanor, [[ToThePain even as he tells his victims what he's going to do to them and how much pain it's going to cause]].
9	** What's worse is his mother. She abused him when he was a child, to the point that he calls it ''torture''. And now she's wheelchair-bound and can't move or even speak while her son makes her watch as he brutalizes people that abuse their spouses and children. Her face whenever she is seen shows only complete despair.
10
11	!!The Cyprus Agency
12	* The Cyprus Agency kidnaps young women, keeps them drugged for years, and uses them to produce kids for unsuspecting couples.
13
14	!!Milton Bobbit
15	* Just Milton Bobbit... without his nose.
16
17	!!Lord Baltimore
18	* Berlin telling Red that he's going to send Red's ex-wife back to him piece by piece, in an act of retribution, and shows he means business by first sending him her finger, is just unsettling.
19	** Ressler finding Rowan Mill's rotting corpse stuffed into a case in the backyard.
20
21	!!Monarch Douglas Bank
22	* Berlin does it again, this time by sending one of Naomi's teeth to Red.
23
24	!!Dr. James Covington
25	* Mr. Kaplan examines a corpse at a graveyard, which includes closeups of the dead man's lungs and organs. [[LampshadeHanging Needless to say, Liz is disgusted by what she does]] and due to the stench, she's forced to cover her nose.
26
27	!!The Front
28	* [[ApocalypseCult The Front]], led by Maddox Beck, was very close to successfully conducting a biological terrorist attack where most of the populace would be wiped out by the Apophis Strain. Unfortunately for Beck, he had a stash of the vaccine ready.
29	** The [[http://postimg.org/image/vr6ceh9m3/ map here shows the red dots, where the major infected areas would be if law enforcement didn't stop them]].
30
31	!!Mombasa Cartel
32	* Whatever happened to Dembe before Reddington saved his life.
33	* The fate of the poachers killed by the hunter family. They get literally stuffed up. You can even see the black, lifeless eyes.
34	** This really need a bit elaboration. The poachers were skinned with surgical precision ''ante-mortem''. That is, for your information, before death. They were kept alive during their skinning, for how long? Were they even dead when this ''Dollmaker'' finished with them?
35
36	!!Luther Braxton
37	* * Luther's successful plan in taking over a [=CIA=] blacksite. He gets the whole site under his control within ''minutes,'' then ruthlessly murders whichever employees get in his way as he rampages through the prison.
38	* The scene with the ropes. The fact that the prison has a readily made torture room with pre-built nooses is disconcerting all on its own, but then Ressler and Navabi get captured and nearly hung, doubling the NightmareFuel. It only gets worse when Braxton takes a particular interest in Navabi, threatening to hang her if Cooper doesn’t hand over the code while complimenting her appearance in a deeply disturbing way. As he raises the noose, she can be seen choking and thrashing, and back at the post office, the others hear her suffocating over the phone.
39
40	!!Ruslan Denisov
41	* Ruslan willingly places one of his victims in water contaminated by oil to prove his point that an oil company is responsible for ruining the health of his fellow Uzbeks. The results... are not that pleasant to see.
42
43	!!Quon Zhang
44	* Navabi doing what she does best. Being a TortureTechnician when needed.
45
46	!!Karakurt
47	* The Alliance/Cabal was able to frame Liz as a double agent/mole for the [=SVR=] when an anti-Russian senator is killed. It gets really troubling when the task force finds out that the test run for the attack was through his illegitimate child studying at a university.
48	* There's also the effects of the virus which can be transferred to others by touch.
49
50	!!Tom Connolly
51	* The fact that the Alliance/Cabal had framed Liz as a [=SVR=] agent/mole that she's hunted down by law enforcement/intelligence agencies.
52
53	!!Sir Crispin Crandall
54	* The fact he is a true believer in what he is selling, to the point he is kidnapping the best of the brightest in their fields and "freezing them" for the future. It is highly likely none of them survived the process as one of the victims was utterly horrified from what he was seeing.
55
56	!!Lady Ambrosia
57	* In the woods, “Lady Ambrosia” has kidnapped an entire group of children and is leading them through the woods. They are chanting – they have some sort of funeral at a wishing well for a child named Matthew. When they are done chanting, the woman has a man named Theodore throw a little kids’ body down in the well. The children cheer and squeal, they think that Matthew is becoming a butterfly and flying away due to butterflies flying out of the well after a body is dropped down. Apparently Lady Ambrosia thinks her actions are right, with her believing that by having the children dropped in the well she is keeping them from growing old as outcasts.
58	* Noah picks up Jeanne in the middle of the night with Theodore (the mentally challenged man from the woods with Lady Ambrosia) hiding in the back seat. He strangles Jeanne and kills her after Noah tells him to “make her go to sleep.”
59	* Theodore turning on Lady Ambrosia after she reveals she hates him with him in earshot and killing her.
60	** After he [[MurderSuicide kills her and then himself]], a final swarm of butterflies emerges... and when the now-rescued kids see it, they react just as they did at the beginning: by IgnoranceIsBliss-fully cheering.
61	* Tom's ex girlfriend kisses him and gives him two offers to go with her on a job. When [[NotGoodWithRejection he refuses her she responds by having her men open the van he's in to shoot him and her other men inside it. She then orders them to torch the van.]] Luckily Tom shoots the man with the gasoline before he can light them up but he is severely injured and gives an emotionless bloody KubrickStare to the camera.
62	** Tom's screams and expression of pain as he's pulling out the bullet from his leg by himself.
63
64	!!Esteban-Mato
65	* Having someone kidnap your granddaughter by someone who claims to be your father. You know, the one you shot in self-defense.
66
67	!!Miles [=McGrath=]
68	* A psycho startup investor who leads an operation to steal a Class A disease from the [=CDC=].
69
70	!!The Forecaster
71	* This episode features a little girl named Maggie who seems to be able to see deadly crimes before they happen and makes dioramas depicting them due to the fact she's mute. Said dioramas look ''insanely'' creepy, not looking out of place in a Indie Horror Game. The captions don't make it better.
72	-->'''PLEASE STOP THIS'''
73	* The fear of finding out that your mute child has been hearing about deadly crimes from her hearing aid for ''years'' and only finding this out as the ones planning them do. In addition, the people planning these murders are now planning to kidnap and kill your daughter as payback.
74
75	!!The Harem
76	* Liz cutting up the hand of a known criminal just to get a [=WITSEC=] list.
77
78	!!Dr. Bogdan Krilov
79	* A man who can mess your memories by making suggestions to them. Worse, they can be permanent unless someone's there to help you remember the ''real'' ones.
80
81	!!The Vehm
82	* A KnightTemplar cult of reformed [[note]]To the point of even self-GroinAttack-ing.[[/note]] pedophiles whose idea of "atonement"... is to subject other, non-reformed pedophiles to literally medieval {{Cruel and Unusual Death}}s [[note]]Complete with a "last meal"... of molten lead down the throat.[[/note]]. And even worse? It turns out to be AllForNothing, courtesy of The Vehm's {{Hypocrite}} leader having actually tricked his {{Mook}}s into killing non-pedophiles whom are threats to his secret money-laundering scheme. And inevitably, [[ManipulativeBastard Red]] lets the cultists know -- and predictably, they don't take very well... [[TheDogBitesBack at]] [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal all]].
83
84	!!General Shiro
85	* This Blacklister's method of murder is to pour a modified larvae bioweapon into the food and drinks, with the insects hatching and eating the victim from inside, usually killing by suffocation. There's no [[GoryDiscretionShot gory discretion shots]] here either as the opening shows a man coughing out insects, collapsing, and then having his airway cut open, at which point a wave of bugs just starts pouring out.
86
87	!!The Capricorn Killer
88	* The victim’s body is found in a state of significant decay with a sword jammed down its open throat. It’s not a pretty visual.
89
90	!!Hannah Hayes
91	* The Blacklister made the life of the men who raped/got her arrested for supposedly aborting her child by conducting surgical operations that borders on the symbolism of LaserGuidedKarma.
92
93	!!Dr. Laken Perillos
