Case Profile for\xa0Ivan Stepanov

The search is on for Red\u2019s oldest friend Ivan Stepanov.\xa0 Townsend has him in custody torturing him through electric shocks to keep him awake in order to induce a hypnotic state of truism. Townsend keeps him off site from his Park Avenue penthouse where Pria is still on the case to try and assassinate Townsend.\xa0 The FBI figure out that Ressler\u2019s phone is tapped and as a result invade Townsend\u2019s \u201ccompound\u201d but not before Townsend, Liz, and Pria all drive to Ivan\u2019s location.\xa0\xa0

While at the secret warehouse, Ivan sees Masha for the first time in 35 years and then proceeds to put a target on her back by revealing the big secret not to us, oh no, only to Townsend through those famous Blacklist close whispers. Townsend, now after Liz, tries to capture both Red and her alive, but Red has other plans as Red and Ivan escape with Dembe as Liz goes her own way on foot.\xa0 In the end Red fixes up Ivan and he escapes before Cooper and the team can question him.
