Hello, boys.
~ Black greeting Hartley and Booth in her first on-screen appearance.

Sarah Black, better known as The Bishop, is the main antagonist of the 2021 Netflix action-comedy film Red Notice. She is the greatest art thief in the world and the lover/accomplice of Agent John Hartley.

She was played by Gal Gadot, who also played Gisele Yashar in The Fast and The Furious franchise and the Evil Queen in the upcoming remake for Snow White and the Seven Drawfs.

Biography[]

Sarah Black was conspiring with her lover John Hartley, who is undercover as an FBI agent, to steal the three jeweled eggs of Cleopatra. After Nolan Booth, her competition, stole the first egg from the Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo museum in Rome, Black exposed his hideout in Bali to Hartley and had him arrested. However, while the jewelled egg was being recovered following Booth's arrest, Black disguised herself as a member of the strike team and switched the egg with a fake . Interpol agent Unvrashi Das eventually discovered the forgery and arrested Hartley assuming (correctly) that he played a role in the theft. Hartley is sent to the same prison as Booth where they are confronted by Black, who reveals to Hartley that Booth knows the location of the third egg and offers Booth his freedom if he helps her steal the other two eggs, which Booth refuses.

Booth and Hartley break out of prison and sneak into the masquerade ball of notorious arms dealer Sotto Voce in Valencia to steal the second egg, but Black is also at the ball trying to steal it before them. Hartley dances with Black to get Voce's attention so he can steal his phone, which is needed to access his vault where the egg is kept. Hartley and Booth break into the vault, but Black already got in before them and reveals herself to be working with Voce. She and Voce kidnap Hartley and Booth and hold them handcuffed under a matedor stadium in Spain. She electrically torture Hartley to force Booth to reveal the location of the third egg and leaves when Booth claims it's still in Egypt, but not before secretly giving Hartley the key to unlock his handcuffs (Hartley covers this by lying that he broke free because Voce accidentally shot the handcuffs after being drugged by Black).

Hartley and Booth find the third egg in a bunker in Argentina, only to find out Black got there first since she knew Booth lied about the location of the third egg. The three are then attacked by an Interpol squad team led by Das, but escaped in a car from the bunker and fell off a waterfall. It is then Booth found out Hartley is also an art thief and was working with Black all along to steal the jewelled eggs and set him up for the heist. The couple handcuff Booth to a tree and leave him to be arrested, then delivered the jewelled eggs to an Egyptian billionaire buyer for his daughter's wedding reenacting Cleopatra's wedding. Das arrests the buyer, but Hartley and Black escape.

Months later, Black and Hartley relax on their yacht, only to find Booth, who escaped from his prison transport. Booth threatens to expose their location to the authorities unless they help him steal paintings from Le Louvre, to which they accept.

Trivia[]

  • Black's name is never said or shown anytime in the movie. An Interpol red notice marks her name, date of birth and nationality as unknown and she is only referred to as the Bishop even in the credits.
