the cabal smuggled him into the us to complete a high-priority mission. he blew up the cia's office of russian and european analysis, killing the agents inside. cooper's task force found evidence that indicated karakurt was planning to infect us senator hawkins with a customized biological weapon at a memorial service for the agents killed in the bombing. elizabeth keen managed to get hawkins to safety before karakurt could carry out his attack, but the senator mysteriously collapsed and died. it turned out that karakurt had merely been a decoy, and that the cabal had secretly infected liz with the weapon and used the threat of karakurt to get her to unwittingly infect hawkins, then framed her as a russian spy and as the assassin of hawkins. tom keen later tracked down and captured the real karakurt in hopes of using him to exonerate liz. when matias solomon and an assault team attack their location, ressler and tom reluctantly allow karakurt to aid them in stopping the killers. karakurt saves tom's life during the battle and is then promptly restrained once more. while solomon tries to force them to turn karakurt over to him, cooper knocks him out from behind and he is arrested. karakurt later reluctantly agrees to testify about the cabal and ressler has him led into the courthouse in front of the press and exposes him as the true terrorist and not elizabeth keen. this, along with red's efforts, exonerate liz.
