The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 8 Recap: The Troll Farmer Part 2
In The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 8 someone staged a shooting rampage inside a hospital. They caused widespread alarm. During the police investigation, the nurses, physicians, and patients were all evacuated. It turned out to be fabricated information. Everyone was relieved, but it also left them wondering why. The hospital is on lockdown, and Graham Flynn (Colin Moss) hears about it from his pals and social media, so he immediately heads there. His wife assures him that she is perfectly safe and that he never had to worry. It was later discovered that Blacklister Bo Chang (Aaron Yoo), called the Troll Farmer, was responsible. He caused widespread panic to obscure a serious crime. He nicked the data from an aide’s badge to a legislator. He needed it to make a phony ID that would fool the military and his employers into giving up sensitive military technologies.
A recently paroled Troll Farmer is now employed at Wujing (Han Chin). At one point, we witness him robbing Graham’s car at the hospital in order to remove Flynn’s congressional credentials. To get access to a top-secret meeting between Graham, the congressman Troll Farmer works for, and NSA officials, Troll Farmer, and his team utilize the badge.
HexRoot is a multibillion-dollar project that Agent Rod Thieman (Donnie Keshawarz) is showcasing there; it’s an advanced malware system that can infiltrate any cyber security in the globe, and it can be delivered from a single suitcase.
The Troll Farmer arranges an attack on the Troll Farm, prompting everyone to leave the meeting so he can steal HexRoot without anyone noticing. If not for a nosy hospital visitor who alerted the Task Force to someone stealing into a car, he would have also gotten away with it. The Task Force is on Troll Farmer’s tail after he stole a car and Red (James Spade) revealed that the Troll Farmer had been collaborating with Wujing. They were barely minutes late getting to the appointment. Rogelio’s network has identified the person Red has been hunting for in New Orleans, so Red dispatches Chuck (Jonathan Holtzman) to track him down. Despite Chuck’s interference, this plan succeeds, and the unknown man is soon returning to New York City.
Red is alarmed enough by Chuck’s report that a man called Phillip has refused to pay for the construction materials Chuck sent him and that he went out of his way to meet with Phillip in person. Phillip confirms that talk of Red’s involvement with a covert FBI task group is widespread. In response, Red tells a terrible tale about his childhood farm, a goat with just one eye, and a mysterious shack. Despite the presence of a tracker on HexRoot, NSA investigators are not cooperating again at the meeting location. Dembe managed to successfully snoop on the location, so Cooper is pleased. It serves its purpose. When Ressler finally breaks into Troll Farmer’s hideout, he finds HexRoot waiting on the table and promptly captures Troll Farmer and his gang.
Dembe and Ressler force Troll Farmer to carry out the planned handoff after they learn that Wujing intended HexRoot to break into FBI files and verify Red’s ties with the agency. Troll Farmer is furious that he has to work for Red once more. when Ressler points out that he actually works for the FBI. Things might easily deteriorate at the park. When Troll Farmer arrives, he is not greeted by Wujing but by Alban Veseli (Daniel Sauli), who tries to run away from Troll Farmer on a motorized scooter after bonking Ressler over the head with the briefcase. Agents corner him in the street, and Sia’s (Anya Banerjee) former turncoat colleague, Richard Deever (Chris McKenna), comes to the rescue. It ends with them escaping.
Alban worries about returning to Wujing empty-handed, but Richard assures him everything will be alright before passing him over to Red. While Richard is under the impression that Red agreed to let him go free, Red just intends to save Richard’s life. Red gives Sia a call to let her know “Welcome to the Task Force.” Red offers Herbie’s (Alex Brightman) newborn a small pink hat with a crown and brim, furthering the adorableness. Cooper accepts Herbie Hambright for a full-time position. Dembe assures Malik that Red would soon divulge everything she knows about Sia’s late mother.
At the show’s conclusion, Red decorates his black hat with a vintage insect brooch. That means what, exactly? Red pays a visit to Agnes, who makes baking films despite the fact that she has no skill in the kitchen. Naturally, Red offers her assistance on the condition that they not be recorded. Our story concludes with a difficult phone conversation between Cooper and Red, during which neither party expresses regret for keeping information from the other. Red does confess that he has been keeping another big secret from the Task Force, but he is now prepared to reveal this information. The showdown with Wujing should be concluded within the next 72 hours, regardless of the outcome.
