Episode 6 - 13
Over on Aly's page there is a reference to the 13th episode, Robert Vesco. It is the name of a real criminal back in the 70s who had to do with risky investments.

Re: Episode 6 - 13
I looked up the real Robert Vesco, just out of curiosity. While a fugitive living in Havana, Cuba, he teamed up with Richard Nixon's nephew and the Cuban government to conduct medical trials on a drug called Trixolan, which supposedly boosted immunity and could be used to treat cancer, Aids, and other diseases that wreaked havoc;on the immune system. Vesco appeared many times on the Forbes List of Wealthiest People in the Word. Supposedly he died at age 71, but many allege he faked his death. It's interesting that there are so many parallels to the Blacklist with the real person named Robert Vesco.

Re: Episode 6 - 13
That's an interesting title. I'm wondering if it's just a working title since it refers to a real person, or it's really about him, which would definitely be interesting. Shouldn't this be the opera episode?

Re: Episode 6 - 13
Yes, I think 6.12 is the episode where Red and Stacy Keach are shown at an opera.
