Vivian Cox (Human Target)

Vivian Cox (Garcelle Beauvais) is the main villainess of "Lockdown", episode 1.06 of Fox's Human Target (airdate February 17, 2010). She was the CEO of defense contracting firm Centronics, and was revealed to be selling weapons and intel to the enemies of the state illegally.
Centronics' corrupt deeds were uncovered by engineers Martin Gleason and Matt Kozinski, following an incident in Mandalay, Burma where a regime used a plasma cannon provided to them by Centronics to collapse a hospital, resulting in 121 deaths. Martin and Matt reported their discovery to Vivian, while fully unaware of Vivian's heel persona and her complicity in the illegal deals. To cover her company's tracks, the evil Vivian had Matt killed and Martin was subsequently held at Centronics' headquarters so he would finish his latest project for the company: a weapon that manipulates microwaves.
The episode's events had Martin's father hiring Christopher Chance to infiltrate Centronics and rescue Martin, with Vivian's enforcer Leonard Kreese discovering Chance's presence in the headquarters and calling Vivian to inform her of the situation. Vivian instructed Kreese to take the care of the problem and make sure Martin wasn't harmed as a result, but later instructed Kreese to "do whatever was necessary" when she arrived at the headquarters and was warned by Kreese that Martin escaping would destroy her company. Ultimately, though, Chance was able to take down Vivian's henchman and escape with Martin through the elevator shaft, only to be cornered outside by the FBI (who had been informed about the situation by Chance's partners Laverne Winston and Guerrero). 
However, with the FBI under the impression that Chance was attempting to kidnap Martin, Vivian appeared and attempted to paint Chance as an attempted abductor, highlighting the damages he had caused to the Centronics facility and feigning relief that Martin was unharmed. Martin, however, quickly revealed Vivian's various crimes, from the illegal arms sales to having Matt killed and him held hostage. Vivian was promptly taken into FBI custody along with Chance, with the villainess glaring at Martin as she was handcuffed and arrested.
