The Fulcrum and Music Box

The Sorrento music box and “the Fulcrum”. In Season 1, Red built a music box that played a tune that Liz remembered from her childhood. In Episode 2:10 [Luther Braxton 2] Liz found a tiny box in the stuffed bunny she saved from the fire. Also pictured: computer chips from around 1990, several small enough to fit in the box. ➔ On 4/23//2015 [2:19 Leonard Caul] we find out that what we (and Red and Liz) have been calling the Fulcrum is a component Caul calls a Bubble module. It fits into the Interface (inside the metal case that Red took from the trunk of the Presidential limo buried in a shipping container at the Kenyon compound). When both this Bubble Module and Pepper’s key are used, the Interface unit’s projector reveals the contents of the “blackmail file” which can expose the nefarious doings of the Cabal or “Alliance.” Liz uses these to show the Director what information will be exposed if Red dies. The Director calls off the raid right before Red is about to be assassinated. 5/7/2015: Lizzie cannot be protected by the Fulcrum. If the Cabal fingers her, they can say it’s disinformation from the Russians. 1/2 to 3/4. We still don’t know for sure if Red meant the music box to resemble The Fulcrum.
