What Season 2 of The Blacklist

The season opens with Raymond Reddington already surrendered to the FBI and now working for them. From that position, Red identifies the names on his blacklist, which includes politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists, and Harold Cooper's team pursues each of them. His condition is that Elizabeth Keen remains his partner. Liz distrusts him and, although his methods unsettle her, she starts to learn to think like a criminal. Her clash with Tom still weighs on her as she tries to rebuild her life. Reddington, meanwhile, continues his personal battle against Berlin and teaches her to look beyond the obvious.
