Pope (The Finder)

Pope (Peta Wilson) is the villainess of "Little Green Men", episode 1.06 of Fox's The Finder (airdate February 23, 2012). She was a very powerful government insider who worked to keep government secrets hidden from the public. When shuttle astronauts Jeremy Wren and Colonel Chuck Bradshaw spotted a then unidentifiable object flying past them at 34,000 MPH while on a mission, Wren reported the sighting despite Bradshaw's warning to keep quiet. Later, Wren died in a car accident (most likely orchestrated by Pope) after he posted footage he taken of the sighting online. Mission control operator Ed Scanlon was also paid off for his silence and the footage of the object was altered to cover the truth.
After a video of Bradshaw confirming that Wren wasn't delusional about what had happened during their mission surfaced, he was fired from the shuttle for alcoholism--despite not being a drinker--and his life was systematically ruined by Pope and her associates. Wanting the truth to be brought forth, conspiracy theorist Dr. Jack Hodgins hired Walter Sherman to find the unidentified object to clear Bradshaw's name and give him his life back, with Bradshaw also agreeing to aid them. But as Walter began investigating the events of the ill-fated mission, he was kidnapped after being lured to a parking garage by Hector (a government henchman) and knocked unconscious by what would later be revealed to be a plane training supersonic weaponry on him.
When Walter awoke, he found himself in a psychiatric hospital with Pope sitting before him. After introducing herself, Pope claimed to be a skilled "Hider", essentially acting as Walter's opposite, and that the things she hid were not to be looked for. The evil Pope additionally threatened to destroy Walter's life and the lives of his loved ones if he didn't back out of his investigation. Walter awoke later on to find himself back home, having been brought there by Hector after three days. Despite Pope's warning, Walter was convinced to continue investigating and discovered that the object had crashed into and damaged a satellite. After finding the object in the Puerto Rico trench, Walter identified it as a broken piece of a shuttle rocket and that the agency wanted to cover up their involvement in the satellite's destruction. Walter and his friend/partner Leo Knox made a deal with Hector to give up the incriminating debris in exchange for giving Bradshaw his life back, and Pope's fate was left unknown.
