Dr. Susan Rathburn (NCIS: Los Angeles)

Dr. Susan Rathburn (Shannon Cochran) is the main villainess from "Citadel," episode 7.02 of NCIS: Los Angeles (airdate September 28, 2015). She is the head of Citadel Behavioral Research, which was portrayed as a facility used to determine who would make it as a government agent. 
In actuality, Rathburn was building a group of agents to do her illegal bidding, subjecting them to HL7 tests to see who would be most likely to bend the rules. She would bribe agents to commit illegal acts, threatening their families if they didn't comply. One such victim was DEA Agent Mark Moore, who was shown in the beginning of the episode being interrogated by his partner, Talia Del Campo. The interrogation had a violent end, as Moore was shot and killed under the orders of the evil Rathburn, while Talia survived an attempt of her own. 
Hanna and Callen infiltrated Citadel as test subjects, with the former directly encountering Rathburn. Despite failing his test, Callen was on the verge of being accepted by another worker, Jon Bennet, only for the pair to take him into custody, where he revealed Citadel's entire plot. Talia went undercover with Marty Deeks and Bennet to trap Rathburn, only for the villainess to directly state (in her own words) that she was on to them before ordering her snipers to fire at the NCIS crew. Rathburn was later shown in her office ordering her subordinate to phone the VPOTUS, Attorney General, and SECNAV, only for her phone to be cut off. She was later encountered by Hetty Lange, who (after Rathburn attempted to profile her) revealed that the HL in HL7 stood for her name: Henrietta Lange. Realizing that she had been defeated, Rathburn was taken into custody.
