Case Profile for #116 General Shiro

In history, General Shiro was a war criminal who used weaponized bugs to wipe out his enemies. Turns out this week's Blacklister is looking to repeat history. But much like Red, this Blacklister is only killing specific targets who are tied to a pesticide known as Hexapine. It was designed to kill off viral carying insects after a natural disaster but was deemed harmful for the environment. Turns out the creator of Hexapine is in fact our modern day General Shiro and as an entomologist his platform is to save the bugs. Without bugs the human race would cease to exist, so he blocks the legalization of Hexapine by kiliing those that would make it legal by infecting them with beattle larvae which then eat the victim from the inside out.

Meanwhile Red works his magic to pick a jury of his peers, which not sure how that works when his peers are criminals and you can't serve on a jury as a convicted felon. Regardless he seeks to stack the deck with the help of his neighborhood DMV friend Glen to find jurors in the records that would support his case. In the end Dembe and Liz have a conversation about Liz's mother that will have the internet "buzzing" for a while.

Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: If Dembe was rescured after Katarina walked into the ocean, how can Liz remind him of Katarina?? Visit our\xa0feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.

General Shiro In Pictures

Here are a just a few of our favorite scenes from this week.

The Music of General Shiro

As a group of doctors operate on our victim in the cold open we hear the buzzing sounds of Erdem Baatar performing \u201cMongolian Throat Singing No. 7\u201d. Later on in the episode as Dembe accepts the mission to find a favorable jury we hear \u201cCool Daddy Charm\u201d by Orchestra Heinz Kiessling. Then when Dembe and Liz chat at the end of the episode about Katarina we hear \u201cKeep Moving\u201d by Communist Daughter.

You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.
