The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 2 The Whaler
The Task Force works to infiltrate a high-stakes poker game tied to Wujing with the help of new team member Siya Malik. Red and Cooper have opposing tactics when Agnes is bullied at school.
The Blacklist is back and harpooning mammals like the old days. The irreverent, quick witted, and unpredictable Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) pulls no punches in “The Whaler.” When Red “lives like he’s dying,” he not only orders four combo meals for a two-person lunch, he also lampoons friend and foe alike with his particular flair.
Let’s begin with his newest friend, Agent Siya Malik (Anya Banerjee). Now that Agent Malik has been debriefed and sworn-in, her first Task Force assignment kicks off with just a little kick from Red. Despite the lead-up undertone where Red so sweetly sings Siya’s praises, he greets her introductory words with a condescending: “Rehearsed that, have you?” No one can reset a relationship dynamic in four-short words quite like Raymond Reddington can.
Red is not satisfied with adjusting Siya’s attitude alone. His next victim is Agent Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff). Donald is hardly shy about expressing his concerns over his new partner. From barely saying hello to her when Asst. Director Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix) welcomes her on her first official day to telling her that she’s not ready for this job and is going to get herself killed like her own mother did, Donald’s getting a bit big for his britches. However, Red is on stand-by to cinch him in when his ploy to get a poker plant into an underground, high-rolling card game places Donald in the role of “arm candy” while Siya’s task is to serve as the high-stakes player.
