The Blacklist: The Front (No. 74) (2014)
Season 2, Episode 5
5/10
An Ancient Virus Conspiracy!
30 January 2024
Little do the people of Earth know, 600 years ago the black plague was stopped and quarantined by the Templars after it killed everyone in Europe. (They maybe don't say Templars, but read the subtext people.) Then a group of four holy monks were tasked with saving the virus for later on the edge of the Earth. One ate it and died, but the others sailed him to America, where they lived with the Indians.

Anyway, now the FBI must stop a group of Greenpeace members (splinter group) who have solved the clues to uncover the burial site of the monks where the plague is still stored! But they don't stop them, so the plague gets spread everywhere, and it's kind of like a magical virus that kills within hours or something, probably why they needed the Templars to stop it in the first place.

Will the FBI discover a cure in time? Maybe!

People insult this episode for being stupid, but I'm going to tell you the truth, it doesn't get its biology any more wrong than it gets anything else in every other episode. It's not like espionage, the military, the FBI, organized crime, etc. Work anything like they do on this show. That being said, this episode is really stupid.
