In the next episode of "The Blacklist," Raymond Reddington (James Spader) and the FBI Task Force investigate a human trafficking organization.

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "The Kilgannon Corporation" was just released recently and showed Reddington telling his daughter Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone), "The next blacklister... smuggling people against their will." They will be up against a formidable human smuggling ring which will require them to have someone infiltrate the elusive group. Reddington agrees to have his bodyguard Dembe Zuma (Hisham Tawfiq) go undercover and get abducted by the kidnappers. However, things go awry as their communication devices malfunction which prompts Zuma to go things alone. Zuma is placed in a white van containing other kidnapped victims including a young boy who appears to be very sick. He lays his head on Zuma's lap who gently caresses it. All the other prisoners also appear not to be doing too well.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth's husband Tom (Ryan Eggold) continues his investigation into the stolen suitcase of bones. Apparently, Pete McGee (Karl Miller) killed Tom's friend Nik Korpal (Piter Marek) and stole the suitcase from him. McGee supposedly helped identify who those bones belonged to but killed Korpal instead. Tom traces McGee's tracks but gets himself into trouble as there are people in high places who also want to get their hands on the bones.

In the last episode, Elizabeth and the Task Force went after Eleanor Dawson (Johanna Day) who used her assassin-husband Calvin (Kevin J. O'Connor) to kill people behind a murder-for-hire agency. She blamed them for the death of her two daughters, apparently. Elizabeth was able to catch them at the cemetery but they opened fire and got shot by the police.

"The Blacklist" season 5 episode 7 will air on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. EDT on NBC.
