The Blacklist - Dr. James Covington

While dealing with loyalty issues inside his own organization, Reddington (James Spader) sends Lizzie (Megan Boone) and the FBI after an once-prominent heart surgeon (Ron C. Jones) operating on the black market who allows the criminal elite to rent organs from transplants for an exorbitant fee every year of their prolonged life. Eventually tracking the man down from the dead clients whose organs were removed when they couldn’t keep up with the payments, Lizzie is faced with a hard choice whether or not to allow the doctor to perform a risky experimental procedure on a patient or allow the young boy to die.

Sending Lizze (Megan Boone) after what he knows is the bank of choice for laundering money by a variety of unscrupulous groups around the world, Red uses the team to get his hands on a single employee (Annika Boras) of the bank whose photographic memory not only allows the FBI to get their hands millions in criminal accounts but also provides Reddington some leverage against Berlin (Peter Stormare).

The Blacklist - Lord Baltimore

Picking up on the unresolved events of last season‘s two-part finale, Reddington (James Spader) continues his search for the mysterious Berlin (Peter Stormare) as his enemy reaches close to home and enlists an expert data miner and bounty hunter known as Lord Baltimore (Krysten Ritter) to track down Red’s ex-wife (Mary-Louise Parker) who apparently is key to the madman’s revenge. Things aren’t better for the rest of the task force as Cooper‘s (Harry Lennix) recovery has him contemplating retirement, Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) is refusing psychological counseling, and Lizzie‘s (Megan Boone) life after the death of Tom (Ryan Eggold) has gotten no less complicated.

The Blacklist - The Complete First SeasonWhen the FBI’s most wanted turns himself over to authorities and agrees to help them catch infamous villains (many of whom the government isn’t even aware of) the life of Agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) changes in a flash as she finds herself in a world of secrets, half-truths, and lies concerning all aspects of Raymond Reddington (James Spader) and why the master criminal chose her as his liason to the FBI.

The set collects all 22 episodes of the show’s First Season in which Reddington leads the team (Harry Lennix, Diego Klattenhoff, Parminder Nagra, Hisham Tawfiq) to take down a member of The Blacklist every week while Lizzie deals with ugly truths in her own life which Reddington’s prescence brings to light – including the truth of her husband Tom (Ryan Eggold). The uneven First Season is a bit too secretive for its own good (much like Red), but does produces some strong episodes.

The Blacklist - Berlin: Conclusion

With Reddington (James Spader) on his way to a new black site from which he will likely never emerge (at least while still breathing), Cooper‘s (Harry Lennix) team performs their final task before being decommissioned by investigating the plane crash and locating a handful of escaped prisoners all of whom were placed on the plane by the mysterious Berlin. With the help of Fitch (Alan Alda), and the power broker’s inside man (Jason Butler Harner), Reddington manages to make his escape and begin searching for answers (partly procured by attacking a Russian ambassador).
