The mysteries of Reddington’s and Liz’s lives, and his interest in her, are gradually revealed as the series progresses.

Keen and Cooper are suspicious of Reddington’s interest in her, but he will only say that she is “very special.” After Cooper tests Reddington’s offer in locating and killing a terrorist in the first episode, Reddington reveals that this man was only the first on the “blacklist” of global criminals that he has compiled over his criminal career, and states that he and the FBI have a mutual interest in eliminating them. He offers Cooper his knowledge and assistance on two conditions: immunity from prosecution, and that he wants to work exclusively with Elizabeth Keen, a rookie profiler newly assigned to Cooper. Taken to an FBI “black site,” Reddington claims he wishes to help the FBI track down and apprehend the criminals and terrorists he spent the last twenty years associating with: individuals that are so dangerous and devious that the United States government is unaware of their very existence. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C. The Blacklist‘s plot synopsis: “Raymond “Red” Reddington, a former US Naval Intelligence officer who had disappeared twenty years earlier to become one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, surrenders himself to FBI Assistant Director Harold Cooper at the J. In the process, they begin to uncover lethal adversaries, unimaginable conspiracies and surprising betrayals that will threaten alliances and spur vengeance for the past, led by the most devious criminal of them all – Raymond Reddington.
