Liz Rutledge (Minority Report)

Liz Rutledge (Alex Paxton-Beesley) is the main villainess from the pilot episode of Minority Report (airdate September 21, 2015). She is the daughter of Mason Rutledge, who was arrested and convicted by Precrime after a vision of Mason killing his wife (Liz's mother) was seen by Precognitives (Precogs for short).
As revealed Dash Parker, a Precog, Liz had developed a drinking habit following her mother's death; with the revelation coming during Dash and Detective Lara Vega's encounter with Liz. The encounter came following Dash's vision of the death of Olivia Van Wyck, who is the wife of Peter Van Wyck (a former Precrime deputy chief turned mayoral candidate), during an upcoming political rally.
It was also revealed that Liz had plotted revenge on Precrime, believing that her father would never harm her mother, who died over her grief regarding Mason's incarceration. The villainess decided to kill Van Wyck, using Mason's computer controlled pigeons in her plan. As Mason pointed out to Dash, one of the pigeons had a deadly virus, and later in the rally, the evil Liz used her father's computerized glove to control the diseased pigeon--planning to send that to Van Wyck to infect and kill him.
Liz's reveal came after Vega and Dash took down Mason, believing that he was the murderous mastermind. After realizing that Liz is the attempted killer, the duo raced to the rally, where Liz was spotted up above controlling the pigeons. Just as Liz was about to send the diseased pigeon towards the Van Wycks, Vega tackled the villainess, who attempted to pull out a gun to shoot Vega. Vega fired her own shot at Liz and subdued her, shortly before she arrested Liz for the attempt to kill the Van Wycks.
