From being detective in 'Dexter' to FBI's most wanted in NBC's 'The Enemy Within', is Jennifer Carpenter finally playing antagonist?

Jennifer Carpenter has taken up numerous law enforcement roles over the last years. However, in this new role, we find her on the other side of the law

Jennifer Carpenter had always known that she'd been destined for greatness at a very early age, quoting "Well, I made an announcement to my family at eight that I wanted to be an actor, and I focused like a laser beam on it. I never had a fallback plan." Such an early decision led Jennifer to graduate from the prestigious Juilliard Acting School in New York City, but she was still known more for her theatre performances than her acting roles.

However, a string of roles in TV and movies saw her establish herself as the 'good cop / good agent' with series like 'Dexter' and 'Limitless' to her credit. So, we wonder if she will finally turn into an antagonist in her latest venture in 'The Enemy Within'?
